In this episode of Service Drive Revolution #366, Chris, Hogi, and Adam keep the energy rolling right out of America's historic 250th Fourth of July weekend by tackling a digital process that is completely taking over the industry—and failing miserably in most shops: video inspections. The team pulls no punches as they break down why so many dealerships are struggling with open rates, crashing hours per RO, and uncomfortable technicians. Chris shares why forcing veteran technicians to perform like social media influencers is killing your shop's momentum, and how standard digital video apps can actually destroy customer trust if your processes are fundamentally broken on paper first. We unpack the hidden psychology of video, what politics can teach us about camera angles and lighting, and why the person at the manufacturer who forced this software on your drive has likely never written a repair order in their life.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: China is quietly surrounding Taiwan. New reporting reveals Beijing now maintains a near-constant naval presence around the island, transforming what were once temporary military demonstrations into the new normal and raising fresh questions about China's long-term intentions toward Taipei.

It is built by learning deeply, communicating clearly, staying healthy, and serving people with calm confidence when the pressure is highest. Whether someone is building in one market or across two coasts, the lesson is the same: protect the relationships, master the details, and never lose the human touch.

One in four Clare farms failed environmental inspections last year. New EPA figures shows the local authority inspected 221 farms in this county in 2025, with 25% failing initial inspections and 75% failing on follow-up visits. The Environmental Protection Agency says most failures were caused by uncontrolled run-off from farmyard manure, inadequate management of silage pits and slurry and effluent discharging to groundwater. Clare IFA Chair Stephen Walsh says there are a number of proactive steps farmers can take.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Todd Kroupa A former firefighter turned top-producing real estate agent in Georgia. Todd explains his journey from a physically demanding fire department career to becoming a highly successful real estate broker, team leader, and luxury/equestrian property specialist. The conversation walks through: His transition from the fire service to real estate Opening and managing a 400‑agent office in Florida Relocating to Georgia and re-establishing his business How he advises both first-time homebuyers and experienced sellers Emotional decision-making in buying and selling Inspections, deal-breakers, and buyer/seller behavior Multi-generational housing trends post‑COVID Why real estate remains a wealth-building tool Advice for navigating neighborhoods, schools, and due diligence His eventual ranking as #1 single agent for Berkshire Hathaway in Georgia (2024–2025) Todd emphasizes integrity, long-term relationships, and guiding clients toward the right house — not just closing a deal. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of Todd Kroupa’s appearance is to: Share a motivational career-change story — moving from firefighter to top real estate agent. Educate listeners on the real estate process — including buying, selling, inspections, and market strategy. Give practical tips for first-time homebuyers, families, and multi-generational households. Promote best practices for choosing neighborhoods, navigating emotion in home buying, and avoiding pitfalls. Highlight Todd’s success and position him as a trusted resource for Georgia real estate clients. Key Takeaways 1. Career Transition & Motivation Todd became a firefighter in 1992, retired in 2014, and began real estate in 2002. Real estate appealed to him because it allowed him to continue helping people without the physical strain. He built and managed a 400-agent office before returning to working directly with clients — his true passion. 2. Balancing Firefighting and Real Estate He often worked both jobs full-time, with limited days off. Eventually, maintaining both became impossible: “I can’t do this anymore,” he told his wife. 3. Buyer Advice Buyers make decisions emotionally first, then logically. Within the first 3–5 minutes in a home, buyers often know if they like it. Lighting, paint color, home condition, and layout heavily influence emotional response. First-time buyers need extra guidance — like “teaching someone to drive for the first time.” 4. Seller Advice Selling isn’t just about market timing — presentation matters. Neutral paint colors and bright white lighting help increase buyer appeal. Every showing is won or lost in the first few minutes. 5. Inspections Matter — and Are Deal Breakers Top inspection walk‑aways: Mold Foundation issues Roof problemsTodd stresses that if a buyer is uncomfortable before closing, “you won’t be comfortable after you close.” 6. Emotion vs. Logic Many buyers get emotionally attached and ignore red flags. Todd’s rule: commissions should never drive decisions. 7. Multi-Generational Living Is Rising Driven by COVID, high child-care costs, rising home prices. Families are choosing: ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) “In-law suites” Larger family compounds 8. Real Estate as a Wealth Builder Unlike stock investments, real estate allows you to: Control, improve, alter, and live in the asset. Tax advantages like 1031 exchanges and mortgage deductions compound long-term value. 9. Don’t Buy the Most Expensive House in the Neighborhood Surrounding homes cap your resale value. You may have to wait years for nearby homes to “catch up.” 10. Neighborhood Due Diligence Realtors must avoid discrimination (Fair Housing Act). Buyers should: Visit neighborhoods at night and on weekends Speak with neighbors Review school ratings and county resources Notable Quotes (from the transcript) Career & Purpose “I love helping people. That’s why I became a fireman. Real estate was another way to help people.” “I wasn’t quite sure I wanted to manage long term… my heart was with clients.” Ethics & Commission “Commissions should never be above the people.” “If you’re focused on commissions, you need to pick a different industry.” Emotions in Home Buying “Buyers think they’re looking logically, but they’re looking emotionally first.” “Within the first 3–5 minutes, they already know if they like the home.” Inspections “If you’re not comfortable with the property now, you won’t be comfortable after you close.” Neighborhood Choice “Focus on the house, but look at the neighborhood — you can’t change your neighbors.” Wealth Building “With stocks you can’t control it, improve it, or live in it. With a home, you can.” Success & Determination “Someone told me when I moved to Georgia I wasn’t going to make it. Now I’m the number one salesperson in Georgia.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Matt Risinger sits down with Jordan Smith of Smith House Co. to discuss the evolving role of inspections, permitting, and building codes in custom residential construction. Smith explains how code compliance impacts everything from framing and mechanical systems to scheduling and client expectations, especially as energy codes and inspection requirements become more demanding. The conversation explores the relationship between builders and inspectors, the importance of documentation and communication on site, and how experienced builders navigate gray areas between minimum code standards and higher-performance construction practices. They also touch on regional differences in enforcement, inspection delays, and the challenge of balancing craftsmanship, efficiency, and compliance throughout the building process.  Huge thanks to our episode sponsor, NuvoH2O.

Send us Fan MailPool Inspections, Liability, Codes & the Dangerous Assumptions That Cost Thousands. Part 2 of this 2 part episode.With Host Natalie Hood of The Grit Game and Special Guest Dennis Boyd of Watershape UniversityIn the conclusion of this powerful two-part episode of Myth Busting Wednesdays, Natalie Hood sits down with Dennis Boyd for a brutally honest conversation about the realities of swimming pool inspections, code compliance, safety standards, liability, and the myths that continue to plague the pool industry. This episode digs deep into one of the biggest misconceptions in the swimming pool industry: just because a pool is open, built, or passed inspection once does not mean it is safe, compliant, or properly constructed today. Dennis explains how pool inspectors must constantly continue learning, especially in areas like electrical safety, bonding, lighting systems, hydraulics, structural integrity, and evolving code requirements. Natalie and Dennis break down the dangerous assumption that “if the contractor built it, it must be compliant,” sharing real-world examples of improperly built pools, exposed rebar hidden beneath unfinished shotcrete, disconnected bonding systems, improperly grounded electrical components, and construction shortcuts that could have led to catastrophic failures or lawsuits. The conversation also explores the confusion surrounding municipal inspections and building codes. Dennis explains how different jurisdictions may adopt completely different combinations of the International Building Code (IBC), International Swimming Pool & Spa Code (ISPSC), and local amendments, creating inconsistencies throughout the country. The result? Pools can sometimes receive occupancy approval while still containing serious safety hazards. Natalie and Dennis also tackle: Why home inspectors often lack meaningful aquatic training  The critical difference between general liability insurance and Errors & Omissions (E&O) coverage for pool inspectors  Why written inspection reports become legal disclosure documents during real estate transactions  The growing need for specialized aquatic inspection professionals  Why pool builders, service technicians, and inspectors often operate with completely different knowledge bases  The shocking pool code requirements most professionals have never heard of — including residential safety rope requirements under ISPSC Chapter 8. Dennis also shares how Watershape University training has helped professionals better understand slides, diving envelopes, gate safety, coefficient of friction standards, and the hidden hazards that most homeowners — and many contractors — completely overlook. Natalie closes the episode with a powerful reminder:Pools don't fail because of bad luck. They fail because of bad assumptions.This is an episode every pool builder, service professional, inspector, real estate agent, and pool owner needs to hear.Topics Covered Pool inspection myths  Electrical and bonding safety  Pool code compliance  Residential pool inspections  Watershape University training  Pool builder liability  E&O insurance for inspectors  ISPSC and IBC code discussions  Real estate disclosure and pool inspections  Pool construction defects  Safety standards for residential pools  Why continuing education matters in aquatics Listen & Follow

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Elizabeth Field as guest to the show.   About Elizabeth Field, Chief Operating Officer at the Elizabeth Dole Foundation:   Elizabeth Field joined the Elizabeth Dole Foundation in February 2024 as its first Chief Operating Officer. Prior to that, she served as a Senior Executive Director in the Government Accountability Office's (GAO) Defense Capabilities and Management Team, where she led a broad body of work related to military quality-of-life issues, as well as defense management, business operations, and reform.   A recognized expert on the Department of Defense, she has testified several times before Congress, and her work has been featured by various news outlets, including National Public Radio, CNN, and The New York Times. Before joining GAO in September 2017, Ms. Field served as Chief of Staff and Senior Advisor to the Under Secretary of State for Civilian Security, Democracy, and Human Rights. Ms. Field also previously served as Assistant Inspector General for Audits and Inspections at the Office of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, which was charged by Congress with conducting audits, inspections, and investigations to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the Afghanistan reconstruction effort and to detect and deter waste, fraud, and abuse.   Ms. Field's first tenure with GAO lasted from 2002-2010, during which she worked primarily as a Senior Analyst in the International Affairs and Trade Team and conducted fieldwork in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Latin America. From 2000-2001, she served as a Jacob K. Javits Fellow on the Public Health Subcommittee of the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. Ms. Field holds a Master's Degree in Public Policy from Duke University and a Bachelor's Degree in History from Davidson College, where she graduated cum laude.   The proud daughter of an Army veteran, she lives in Washington, D.C. with her two sons, Graham and Henry (a West Point cadet), and their rescue dog, Maisie.     About the Elizabeth Dole Foundation:   The Elizabeth Dole Foundation is the preeminent organization empowering, supporting, and honoring our nation's 14.3 million military and veteran caregivers—the spouses, parents, family members, and friends who care for America's wounded, ill, or injured service members and veterans. Established by Senator Elizabeth Dole in 2012, the Foundation works to empower military and veteran caregivers, their families, and their communities through programs, partnerships, and advocacy that drive innovative, impactful, and sustainable solutions.   About the 11th Annual National Convening:   Registration is now open for the Elizabeth Dole Foundation's 11th Annual National Convening – and you won't want to miss it!   Join us on May 19, 2026, in Washington, D.C., at the iconic Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center, where leaders, advocates, and caregivers from across the country will come together for a powerful day of connection, conversation, and action. If you are unable to join us in-person, you can register for virtual attendance using the same link.   Last year, Convening attendees helped us begin to develop the National Blueprint for Action—a practical, solutions-driven roadmap designed to strengthen support for the 14.3 million military and veteran caregivers nationwide. Now, as we officially launch that Blueprint, we commit to act—bringing together caregivers, business and industry leaders, and policymakers to advance a nationwide Culture of Caregiving. Inspired by thought-provoking plenary speakers, you will participate in interactive working sessions and breakout discussions to learn how you can make a difference.   In-person attendees will also experience our dynamic Innovation Expo, featuring more than 30 organizations across military and veteran services, healthcare, and beyond. There, explore valuable resources, spark meaningful connections, enjoy a complimentary headshot, and take a moment for yourself at our chair massage station.
