Jim Richards is the National Co-op Recruitment Manager at Point S, travelling extensively throughout the US to meet with independent tire dealers with the goal of educating them on the benefits of joining Point S — increased buying power and support from a national network. Mickie Segotta is the Owner of Point S American Tire in Gallup, New Mexico. Mickie took over the business from her stepfather, who passed away in 2021 — honoring her stepfather's legacy by running the business with the same dedication and commitment to her employees. Kolby and Tia Clay are the Co-owners of Junction City Point S Tire and Auto Service in Junction City, Oregon. Although Kolby is a first-generation tire store owner, he purchased the facility from a family friend who had operated a tire store for 50 years, leading him to feel like a fourth-generation owner. Brandon Haltiwanger is the Owner of Forrest's Tire Service and Point S in Johnston, South Carolina. Brandon has a diversified background in the construction industry, including expertise in project management, budgeting, and contract negotiation. Ed Tuck is the Owner of TNT Tire Point S Auto Service in Tacoma, Washington. Ed's father joined Point S in 1984, making their family one of the earliest members of the cooperative. He has been involved in the tire industry since he was 12 years old. Tony O'Billovich leads in-house consulting for the Master Shop Program at Point S, where he coaches independent Point S members. Tony believes in a “win together” mentality and stresses the importance of employee growth to achieve success for everyone. Jeremy Smith is a second-generation business owner and operator of two Wasatch Tire and Service Point S locations in Utah, as well as six Steve's Automotive Specialist shops. Jeremy believes in the value of local businesses and building relationships with customers. David Priddy owns David's Discount Tire in Haskell, Oklahoma and has been a member of Point S for almost ten years. He values the buying power, marketing, and family-like relationships that the Point S organization offers. Jeff Tucker is the Chairman of Point S and CEO of Triple T Tire in Western Tennessee. He hopes to grow the Point S revenue base to 500 stores in all 50 states, building value for independent dealers looking for a franchise. Joe Moore is the Vice President of Purchasing for Point S. He manages the relationships with vendor partners, working to bring good buying prices and programs to the members. Joe also works to create avenues for members to promote their products through the organization. In this episode… The tire industry can be a challenging landscape for independent dealers, with many facing the pressures of larger corporations and acquisitions. What benefits can a co-op organization like Point S provide to these independent businesses? According to Jim Richards, Mickie Segotta, Kolby and Tia Clay, Brandon Haltiwanger, Ed Tuck, Tony O'Billovich, Jeremy Smith, David Priddy, Jeff Tucker, and Joe Moore — attendees of this year's Point S Tire Conference — Point S offers independent tire and service dealers the opportunity to join a group that provides them with the buying power of a large organization while still maintaining their independence. Members benefit from networking opportunities with like-minded people, access to marketing and point-of-sale materials, better warranties for customers, and a supportive family-like environment. The organization also provides in-house coaching and vendor relationships, fostering a sense of community and shared success. On this episode of Gain Traction, join host Mike Edge at the Point S Tire Conference, where he speaks with Jim, Mickie, Kolby, Tia, Brandon, Ed, Tony, Jeremy, David, Jeff, and Joe about how Point S provides a family environment, purchasing power, and coaching for independent tire dealers — all while fostering a sense of community and shared success among members.

Kommer Ingrid Blom att återse sin far? När de tre äventyrarna precis lagt sig i sin stuga hör Jeff Tucker något och tittar ut. Upp ur vattnet kommer det människolika varelser som skrämmer honom.

It's another “REVIEWER'S CHOICE” episode, and this time it's host NATE WYCKOFF's pick!The choice entry locked and loaded is EP 104: "THE BATMAN" (2022) - A BRUTAL REVIEW!Did writer/director MATT REEVES believe in his project, or did he just see a rerun of SAW while listening to somebody's sad-girl cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit? Nate thinks the latter! Why did Nate choose to revisit this movie that, as is tattooed above his navel, he really did not like? BECAUSE IT'S THE FILM THAT UNHINGED HIM!Once again, "The Batman Knocks Twice" on this week's episode of CULT AND CLASSIC FILMS Podcast!

This film dives deep into the complex psyche of Bruce Wayne, portrayed by Robert Pattinson, as he navigates both his identity as Batman and his personal demons. Set in Gotham City, which is plagued by corruption and criminality, Batman finds himself facing off against a mysterious serial killer known as the Riddler, played brilliantly by Paul Dano. The Riddler's cryptic messages challenge Batman both intellectually and emotionally, pushing him to his limits as he races against time to unravel the criminal's twisted motives.The gritty and atmospheric tone of "The Batman" sets it apart from previous interpretations of the caped crusader, offering a noir-inspired visual aesthetic that immerses the audience in a bleak and dangerous world. The stellar performances by the cast, including Zoe Kravitz as Selina Kyle/Catwoman and Jeffrey Wright as Commissioner Jim Gordon, further elevate the film and add layers of depth to the narrative. As Batman delves deeper into the Riddler's plot, he uncovers long-buried secrets that force him to confront the blurred lines between justice and vengeance, ultimately challenging his moral code and pushing him to redefine his role as the Dark Knight.Overall, "The Batman" captivates viewers with its gripping storytelling, stunning cinematography, and intense action sequences. Through its exploration of Batman's internal struggles and external battles, the film offers a nuanced and compelling portrayal of one of the most beloved superheroes in pop culture. With its blend of psychological depth, thrilling suspense, and dynamic character dynamics, "The Batman" stands out as a modern classic that redefines the superhero genre and leaves a lasting impact on audiences long after the credits roll.#cultandclassicfilms #thebatman #superheromovie #mattreeves #robertpattinson #dc #dccomics #comicbooks #movie #film #moviereview
Like most libertarians, The Brownstone Institute's Jeff Tucker has long been a proponent of open borders. So have I. But we both feel that events of the past few years require a more thoughtful response than the standard anti-state-border rhetoric. Including, perhaps, admissions that we've been wrong all along.Have we?Jeff and I explore some of the complexities of the current crisis along the southern border of the US, the Texas standoff, and immigration more generally. What's happening at the border goes well beyond what we generally think of as "immigration", and Jeff and I talk about what's behind that, and the ways in which immigrants are being used to further political agendas and disrupt the democratic process. We also talk about ways in which the post-9-11 tightening of immigration restrictions have exacerbated the problem.I talk a little about my experience living in Japan – a country with strict immigration controls, and a strong, cohesive culture that I don't think many Americans can relate to. And as much as government management of immigration has created problems and allowed for immigration to be weaponized, it's not entirely clear that a stateless society would have the ability to produce or protect cultural cohesion in this way. (Although, to be fair, in most of the world, the state fails at this too.)SPOILER: We don't come away with any answers. But we both agree that these are questions that need to be wrestled with, and we will continue to wrestle.Related: My recent conversation with Bob Murphy has some insights on the stateless society that are relevant to this conversation.
Buckle up, Michael is on his soapbox today. Jeff Tucker of the TIA and CEO of Tucker Company Worldwide testified last week at a committee hearing in D.C. titled "The State of Transportation." His testimony, his thoughts, his opinions, again HIS testimony. Land Line magazine published an article titled "A Sneak Attack on Broker Transparency." Today, we expect the media to be slanted and biased, but this takes the cake.

Understand the costs of renting versus buying a home. Plus: the UAW strike, GDP growth, debit card fees, and AI policy. Before discussing housing affordability, hosts Sean Pyles and Anna Helhoski review noteworthy financial headlines, including an update on the UAW strike against major US automakers, the latest Commerce Department numbers on GDP growth, debit card merchant fees, and the White House's wide-ranging executive order pertaining to artificial intelligence. Then, Sean and Anna welcome Jeff Tucker, a senior economist at the real estate website Zillow, to discuss the impact that rising interest rates could have on your decision to rent or buy a home. Jeff provides historical context, explains the factors contributing to the gap between renting and buying costs, and touches on the challenges faced by first-time homebuyers. The discussion also explores the impact of housing inventory on the market, including whether homes are pulled off the market or remain unsold for extended periods. In their conversation, the Nerds discuss: United Auto Workers (UAW) strike, GDP growth, debit card fees, AI Executive Order, housing affordability, renting vs. buying, personal finance, financial news, interest rates, inflation, mortgage rates, the economy, housing market, rental costs, down payments, homebuyers, housing inventory, AI technology, tech regulations, consumer spending, interest rate hikes, bank fees, and home ownership.

The case is now in the hands of the jury! Critics' Court: Star Wars on Trial continues with special guest Jeff Tucker, chief judicator. We take you inside the jury deliberations for the trial of the millennium.
I speak with Jeff Tucker about his recent article, "Downton Abbey, the Corruption of the Great Families, and the Future of Freedom."We talk about Downton Abbey, its insights into the role of the "great families" in a free society, and also the massive transfer of wealth and power - from private to public - that took place during the period chronicled by the show, and which continues in spades in the 21st century.We discuss the actual workings of a free society - something most Americans and Britons alive today have little direct experience with. We also discuss the "corruption" of the great families, and how the classes that have traditionally upheld individual liberty have now almost entirely defected to the side of the centralized state....and we talk about what comes next.Jeff is Founder and President of the Brownstone Institute.
In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending May 13th, 2023... some good news about inflation, how a U.S. debt default might impact housing, and a new Gallup Poll on investor preferences. Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review. Economic News We begin with two inflation reports from this past week. The first was a report on the Consumer Price Index for April. The CPI shows a .4% rise in consumer prices which is a slight increase from the previous month, but it brought the annual rate below 5% for the first time in two years. It hit a high of 9.1% last summer, but is now down to 4.9%. The core rate, which omits food and fuel, was also down .4%, with an annual rate of 5.5%. Shelter prices rose the most, but those prices are slowing down. It's interesting to note that the three-month annualized rate is now at 3.2%. (1) Producer prices are also coming down. The Labor Department reported a .2% increase in the Producer Price Index for April, with an annual rate of 2.3%. The PPI's core rate was also down .2% but the annual rate is a bit higher, at 3.4%. As MarketWatch reports: “Inflation is moderating at the consumer and producer levels. This is adding to market expectations that the Federal Reserve will refrain from raising interest rates further at the next meeting in mid-June.” (2) The Fed's preferred report on inflation, known as the Personal Consumption Expenditure Index or PCE, will play a big role in what the Fed does next. That's coming out at the end of this month. Weekly jobless claims were a surprise on the upside, with 240,000 people filing for benefits. They were 22,000 higher than they were for the previous week. Economists had only expected an increase of 3,000. That's the highest number of claims since October of 2021. The numbers have been steadily rising since January, for a total of 1.81 million continuing claims. Higher numbers indicate a softening of the job market and slower wage growth which the Fed wants to see in its fight against inflation. (3) Mortgage Rates Mortgage rates are still idling in the lower 6% range. Freddie Mac says the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was down four basis points to 6.35% this last week. The 15-year was down one point to 5.75%. (4) Freddie Mac's chief economist, Sam Khater, says: “A recent sideways trend in mortgage rates is a welcome departure from the record increases of last year.” (5) In other news making headlines… Mortgage Rates Would Skyrocket if U.S. Defaults on Debt As lawmakers haggle over the debt ceiling, there's concern about what would happen if they don't come to an agreement and the government defaults. According to Zillow, it would have a devastating impact on the housing market, with mortgage rates potentially rising to 8.4%. That would increase a typical mortgage payment by 22%. (6) Zillow says if mortgage rates get to the 8% level, existing home sales could fall from April's 4.3 million to around 3.3 million in September. That's a 23% drop. Zillow's senior economist, Jeff Tucker, acknowledges that a default is “unlikely” but if it did happen, he says it would send the housing market into a “deep freeze.” It is hoped that President Joe Biden and Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy will hammer out a deal by June 1st. In a Bloomberg interview, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said: “There is no satisfactory solution for the U.S. that's good for the economy and financial markets other than Congress acting to raise the debt ceiling.” Fed's Rate Hikes Are Now Hurting the Housing Market Housing economists are not happy about the latest rate hike. The Fed hiked short-term rates another quarter point to a range of 5 to 5.25%. The National Association of Realtors' Lawrence Yun and the National Association of Home Builders' Robert Dietz call it “disappointing.” They say the high rates are freezing loan activity and hurting the economy. (7) They say that consumer prices have been coming down for months and the last rate hike wasn't necessary. Yun says that: “Regional banks are an important source of loans – but they are frozen.” He says: “They are shuffling their balance sheets and figuring out what to do.” Dietz says that higher rates are making it harder for developers to build homes, which are badly needed to boost inventory. He says: “We need to be building more than 1.1 million homes a year to haVe a meaningful impact on the lack of inventory.” Real Estate Still a Top Investment Choice, but Lead is Shrinking A recent Gallup poll shows that real estate is still a top investment choice, but the lead is shrinking. In 2022, 45% of the participants said that real estate is the best long-term investment. This year, that percentage shrank to just 34%. (8) Many consumers have turned to gold, which has now taken second place and pushed stocks into third. Gold was favored by 26% this year, compared to 15% last year. Stocks dropped from 24% last year to 18% this year. Savings accounts, CDs, and bonds are up slightly but they are still in fourth place. Gallup asked some of the participants about crypto, but that has lost its luster with the recent collapse of the FTX crypto exchange, and a decline in crypto prices, especially for bitcoin. Only 4% of Americans are choosing crypto. Last year, it was 8%. That's it for today. Check the show notes for links, and the “Join for Free” button to become a member of RealWealth.

Ian Shepherdson, founder and chief U.S. economist of Pantheon Macroeconomics, believes that home prices may fall another 15% in 2023, citing the large disparity between property costs and buyer incomes. He predicted the eventual housing crash of 2008 in 2005 and recently suggested that the price-income gap, coupled with increased house supply and high mortgage rates, may precipitate a period of continued deceleration of the housing market rather than a significant rebound this year.In this episode of The Higher Standard, Chris and Saied examine this prediction, and attempt to determine just how likely it could be based on current data.They discuss comments from Zillow senior economist Jeff Tucker, who says that, in 2022, homeownership was further out of reach than it has been in modern recorded history. While home prices and mortgage rates may be falling, making the market at least a little more accessible, they're doing so from historic highs.Chris and Saied look at an interview with Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari, who said that explosive jobs growth is evidence that the central bank has more work to do when it comes to taming inflation, including more hikes to interest rates.They also offer some thoughts on the differences between the affordability crisis this time around, and the last recession.Join Chris and Saied for this fascinating and informative conversation.Enjoy!What You'll Learn in this Show:The difference between being data-driven and data-based.Why Bob Iger is right-sizing the company to weather the storm and to be more efficient, returning more profits to the shareholders.Why Zoom has laid off 15% of its workforce.What would happen if the Fed started lowering rates again and the effect it would have on inflation?And so much more...Resources:"Economist Who Predicted the 2008 Housing Crash Says Home Prices Will Drop 15% in 2023" (article from Yahoo!

According to the FreightWaves, The basic definition of breakbulk is any individual piece of cargo that does not fit into a container and is not carried in bulk. Breakbulk refers to cargoes that can be “unitized,” such as metal ingots or bales of pulp, as opposed to those that cannot, such as ore. A breakbulk cargo can be anything from forest products to paper rolls to steel girders, metal drums and much larger items. Project cargo is a type of cargo that is oversized, typically high value and requiring special equipment such as cranes, forklifts, trucks or tools to move. This type of cargo is transported by utilizing specialized vessels, train wagons, trucks or aircrafts. The carriers and brokers that move project cargo and breakbulk require specialized knowledge and expertise. Project cargo is common in the following industries: oil & gas, wind, solar, construction, infrastructure, industrial, mining, aerospace, military – any industry that has high value, oversized cargo that has to be transported.
