736: Land Use Update: Roadless Rule, Big Bend, and Wilderness Study Areas

Snail Trail 4x4

Jimmy and Tyler dig into a stack of public lands updates in this week’s Monday episode — the kind of episode where you walk away actually understanding the legal mechanics behind the headlines, instead of just reacting to them. The Roadless Rule kicks things off, and it’s more interesting than it sounds. Roads through national forest and BLM land aren’t just recreation access — they’re wildfire infrastructure. Jimmy and Tyler talk through the Caldor Fire, where popular Sierra OHV routes served as fire lines and ingress for hotshot crews, and the broader ecological argument that decades of total fire suppression (no controlled burns, no small fires clearing brush) is exactly why mega-fires have gotten so much worse. The Roadless Rule — which has blocked any new road construction and forced a steady decline in usable routes — is now being reconsidered, with agencies reviewing historical road inventories to determine what could reopen for fire management purposes. It’s currently open for public comment, and Blue Ribbon Coalition has a tool on their site that maps your zip code to your legislators for submitting comments directly. Make a public comment on the Roadless Rule: https://blueribboncoalition.org/roadless-rule-draft-eis-comment/ From there: an update on the Big Bend National Park border wall project in Texas — over $7 billion across five sections, built with no-bid contracts, cutting a new road directly next to an existing one, and initially bypassing NEPA environmental review and public comment entirely. The good news: sustained public pressure has forced a pause on construction while it undergoes review. Also covered: why picking up a rock on public land is technically a federal offense (it’s classified as mining), the ongoing accessibility angle of road closures for wheelchair users and other visitors who can’t hike miles in on foot, and the California OHV permit saga — a coalition-negotiated agreement that got rewritten by the legislative committee and failed its vote, leaving the whole permit effort dead for now. The back half covers two related legal patterns worth knowing: newly released Yellowstone grizzly bear studies show OHV use has never caused a single recorded grizzly death — despite that exact justification being used to close routes — and Jimmy and Tyler connect the dots to the nearly identical legal language used to justify closures at Oceano Dunes (snowy plover), the Western Mojave (desert tortoise), and now the Oregon Dunes (western marmot), in each case without a definitive study proving OHV is actually the cause of death. Then a full breakdown of Wilderness Study Areas — land that’s been managed as de facto wilderness for decades without ever being formally designated, with no legal deadline forcing a decision either way — and Blue Ribbon Coalition’s push to get courts to force a timeline.

The plan hasn’t been enforced yet — that’s the only reason anyone’s still walking around out there without a permit. Once it is, over 775,000 acres go non-motorized and non-mechanized, permanently, with no path to ever reopen them. Mountain bikes included. Motorized groups get capped at 24 vehicles per route per day before you need a federal permit. Hunters can’t retrieve game or gather firewood off the road by any mechanized means. Hikers can get locked to designated trails only, dispersed camping gets restricted to numbered sites, dogs need to be leashed everywhere, and rock climbers can’t place a new bolt without commission approval. One sentence in the plan — Paragraph 14 — is written broadly enough to prohibit basically anything not yet invented that someone decides is “inconsistent” with protecting the monument. We also get into the two-tier trick land management plans use to delay the real fight: the big decisions get locked in years before anyone announces them, so by the time you actually feel the restriction, it’s framed as “just following the existing plan” instead of a new decision anyone has to defend. And we cover the same legal playbook now showing up at Oregon Dunes, after already being used to shrink Oceano Dunes by up to 80%. If you care about keeping public land open — hiking, biking, wheeling, hunting, camping, all of it — this is the episode to actually understand what’s at stake instead of just reacting to a headline.

Your sales process might be the reason your members are leaving.Churn just hit a new high across the car wash industry, and the fix everyone's selling is more sales technology. More pressure at the pay station, more tools, more sign-ups per shift. In this episode, Josh Taylor breaks down why that approach is quietly creating the exact churn operators are trying to fix, and what to do instead.Through three real case studies, you'll see how messaging, incentives, and timing determine whether a member stays for 7 months or 26. You'll learn why a "yes" at the pay station isn't the same as a member who lasts, why voluntary cancellations are rising while failed payments fall, and what an actual retention system looks like from sign-up through renewal.If you're an operator trying to grow membership without watching people cancel out the back, this one's for you.Get the bookWe put the full framework in Five Funnels to Freedom.

The government has announced plans to introduce new technical education pathways for Key Stage 4 from 2028, allowing pupils to study subjects such as AI, engineering, coding, manufacturing and mechanics alongside their core GCSEs. The reforms aim to give young people more choice, strengthen links with local employers and equip students with the skills needed for a rapidly changing economy. But could this represent one of the biggest shifts in secondary education for a generation? Is 14 the right age for pupils to begin specialising, or does it risk narrowing opportunities too early? How will schools find the funding, facilities and specialist teachers needed to make these pathways a success? And what impact could this have on traditional GCSE subjects, teacher recruitment and educational inequality? Join us for a live debate as we explore the opportunities, challenges and unintended consequences of a radical new vision for Key Stage 4! On the panel: Andrew Old, Josh Taylor and Carly Holness.

Get ready for a fun interview today on BEHIND THE LENS as I talk with writer/director and composer ERIC OWEN about his latest film IN A COLD VEIN. While we dig into the making of IN A COLD VEIN, we also have a lot of fun talking cats, duct tape, and blood. And my regular readers and listeners know how much I love talking duct tape and excessive use of blood in films. IN A COLD VEIN is Eric's sophomore directorial following his debut feature in 2023, THIRST. I'll tell you right now, I see growth in his filmmaking with IN A COLD VEIN, notably with the technical elements and using the tools in the toolbox. IN A COLD VEIN has a very simple plot – Dean is kidnapped and left for dead. Who kidnapped him, how, and why are the questions that unfold as the story progresses. Desperation takes hold as Dean unleashes a firestorm of vengeance to find his 9-year-old son, who is missing. But the truth behind the conspiracy is a shocking betrayal that may cost him everything. Written and directed by Eric Owen, IN A COLD VEIN stars, among others, Evan Gamble as Dean, Brian Villalobos and P. Michael Hayes as kidnappers Phil and Steve, Marc Pouhe, Mor Cohen, Cliff Dean, and Steve Brudniak as a trucker named Chuck. On the production side, Josh Taylor delivers on lighting and lensing while Samantha McDanel builds tension and suspense with the film's editing. Nihar Gagneja dazzles with the film's sound design and mix with a celebration of silence. And as mentioned, Eric is also the film's composer. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

Click to Subscribe: https://bit.ly/Youtube-Subscribe-SoapDirt Days of our Lives spoilers divulge that Roman Brady, played by Josh Taylor, has been spending more time with ex-wife Marlena Evans, portrayed by Deidre Hall, following tensions with current wife Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow). We see cracks in Roman and Kate's marriage after Roman discovers Kate's scheme involving his grandson, Johnny DiMera and Bonnie Kiriakis's plagiarized book. Kate's actions and subsequent lies have led to Roman distancing himself, even giving Kate's room to his great-granddaughter Ariana Horton, portrayed by Vico Escorcia. DOOL spoilers suggest that after being ousted, Kate turns to son Phillip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) as she plots a move into the Kiriakis mansion. Meanwhile, Roman has been increasingly leaning on Marlena for support, hinting at a potential rekindling of their past romance. The two share a rich history and children, Sammy and Eric Brady. However, their relationship was previously ruined by the interference of Stefano DiMera, causing Marlena to fall for John Black. Despite this, Roman and Marlena have maintained a strong friendship, leading some fans to speculate a return to their romantic relationship. Spoilers for Days of our Lives indicate the possibility of a Roman and Marlena reunion has been met with mixed reactions from the fans. Many believe it's too soon for Marlena to consider another man after the death of John Black, while others question Roman's loyalty to Kate.  This episode was hosted by Belynda Gates-Turner for the #1 Soap Opera Channel, Soap Dirt.

Their card failed and nobody caught it.Covered in the Episode:Why most car washes can't reach their own members when a card decline A service your payment processor may already offer that automatically updates expired cards before they fail The SMS recovery sequence that brings back members who never meant to cancelHow to collect phone numbers from existing members who never gave oneIf you're running a membership program and you haven't checked what percentage of your members have a phone number on file, this episode is for you.Free Marketing Course: FiveFunnelsToFreedom.comWork with OptSpot: OptSpot.com#carwash #carwashbusiness #carwashmembership #membershipretention #carwashmarketing #carwashgrowth

Most car washes pour money into digital ads and get nothing back. In this episode of The Car Wash Growth Playbook, Josh Taylor sits down with Stacie Norton, OptSpot's Digital Ads Director, to break down how to run Meta and Google ads that actually drive cars onto your lot, not just impressions on a screen.You'll learn why "awareness" ads quietly drain your budget, why you should never try to sell a membership to a cold audience, and the offer formula that gets people to act: urgency, an aggressive deal, and an online checkout. Stacie also walks through the pre-flight checklist every operator needs before spending a dollar, and why ads are data-collection machines that take 30 to 60 days before they hit their stride.If your ads feel like an expense instead of an investment, this one's for you.The text club is the most powerful marketing channel a car wash has.

A five-day storm isn't one bad week. It's three different revenue moments, and your text club is built for all of them.Most car wash operators brace for rainy weeks and watch their numbers tank. The operators consistently turning bad weather into record days have figured out that a storm isn't a single event. It's a cycle with three distinct phases, and each phase opens a different door for your text club. In this episode, Josh Taylor walks through the exact plays, including the one his friend CJ ran that broke an all-time wash record twice in two days on $400 of inventory.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:- Why most operators are working the wrong end of the funnel when bad weather hits- The three moments in every storm cycle and which text club play fits each one- How CJ broke his wash record by 300 cars two days in a row with a single text and $400 in faucet covers- Why "first month for $9" needs the storm itself as the deadline, not an arbitrary date- The "feel smart vs feel good" emotional difference that makes cause days work- When to run all three plays in one storm cycle (and when not to)FREE DOWNLOAD: The Rainy Day PlaybookGet every message template, the full timing sequence for each play, and the TCPA compliance reminder in one PDF.https://FiveFunnelsToFreedom.com/rainydaysWORK WITH OPTSPOT:If you're a car wash operator and want to look at your specific site with our team, book a walkthrough.https://OptSpot.comFREE COURSE: Five Funnels to FreedomThe full architecture we run for car wash operators across acquisition, conversion, and retention.https://FiveFunnelsToFreedom.com

What if you didn't need the script taped to the pay station? What if you didn't need to coach a 19-year-old through one more awkward upsell? What if your car wash's membership just sold itself?Most car washes are built around the pitch. Hire someone, hand them a script, track their conversion rate, pressure them when the numbers dip. It works. But it leaks. Even at an above-average 8 to 12% conversion, 88 to 92% of your customers are saying no every day. And a lot of them aren't just saying no to the membership. They're saying no to ever coming back.In this episode, Josh Taylor breaks down the difference between selling memberships and creating members. Selling is a transaction. Creating is a relationship. One depends on your best closer staying on shift. The other depends on your entire operation knowing how to make a customer feel like a person.You'll hear why Chick-fil-A never has to pitch their rewards program, and what that should teach every car wash operator. You'll walk through seven philosophies that turn your wash into the kind of place where membership becomes the next obvious choice:1. Notice everything2. Own the ending3. Surprise without warning4. Empower your team5. Culture flows downhill6. Act as if7. Win the relationship, not the argumentPlus the homework that costs nothing and changes everything: stand in your vacuum bay for one hour during your busiest shift and ask yourself one honest question.If you've been grinding on conversion rates and wondering why the numbers won't move, this episode is for you.About the Car Wash Growth PlaybookHosted by Josh Taylor, CMO at OptSpot.

The previous teams in that stadium had all failed.Nine years later, the Savannah Bananas are playing in 75 stadiums across 45 states in front of 3.2 million fans. They're selling out Fenway Park, Wrigley Field, and NFL stadiums that the pro teams who play there struggle to fill. They're trying to break the attendance record at Kyle Field, currently held by George Strait at over 110,000. They have more TikTok followers than Major League Baseball. They spend zero on traditional advertising.How?One idea: nobody talks about normal.In this episode of The Car Wash Growth Playbook, Josh Taylor breaks down what separates the Bananas from every other team in sports and why the same principle applies to your car wash.

If your phone blows up every time you leave your car wash, that is not a staffing problem. It is a systems problem. And until you fix it, you will never scale, take a real vacation, or stop being the answer to every single question at your wash.In this episode of The Car Wash Growth Playbook, Josh Taylor sits down with Mike Griggs from Car Wash OS, an operational consultant who has run multi-site express tunnels in Colorado and now helps car wash owners build the systems that let them step away without everything falling apart.Mike shares how his own operations went from a 225% annual employee turnover rate down to 25% in one year. He breaks down the exact framework Car Wash OS uses to help operators define what winning looks like for every role, create repeatable daily systems, and build teams that solve problems without calling the owner.What You'll Learn:Why most car wash owners are stuck folding towels instead of leading their businessThe difference between employees who are unwilling and those who are unable (and why most of the time it is on you)How Key Results Areas (KRAs) replace vague job descriptions and give your team clarityThe 80% rule: why someone doing the job 80% as well as you is good enoughHow to stop being the person every problem gets handed toThe single highest-leverage thing you can do this week to start building real systemsKey Takeaway:"When somebody walks into your office and there is no monkey on their shoulder, and they say, 'We had a problem.

When you're on the lot, everything runs great. Customers are greeted. The property is clean. The details get handled.The moment you leave, things slip. And you know it.Your team is the first thing customers interact with. And for most washes, the team is the weakest link in the experience. Not because they're bad people. Because they haven't been given a reason to care.Most operators try to solve this with higher wages. That's not it. The operators who build teams that deliver great experiences without the owner present do three things differently. And none of them have to do with money.In this episode, I break down why the gap between how you see your wash and how your team sees it is the biggest bottleneck in your business, what the best operators do to build ownership instead of obligation, and one question you can ask your team this week that will change how they show up.If you watched last week's episode on why I canceled my car wash membership, this is the other side of that story.

Most car wash loyalty programs are too complicated. Points, tiers, conversion ratios. Your customer pulls up to the pay station, looks at the sign, and thinks "I don't have time for this."You just lost them. Not because the offer was bad. Because the offer was confusing.In this episode, I break down what your loyalty program should actually be doing (hint: it's not rewarding spending), why the simplest loyalty programs outperform the complicated ones every time, and how to turn your loyalty program into the most powerful marketing tool in your building.Here's the part most operators miss entirely. When your loyalty program runs through your text club, every visit becomes a data point. You can see who's building a habit, who's drifting, and who's already washing like a member but hasn't signed up yet. That changes everything about how you market to your retail customers.Your loyalty program has two jobs. Build the wash habit. And give you visibility into customer behavior.

If you're offering your services to everyone, chances are nobody's listening. Most businesses, especially coaches and consultants, waste valuable resources trying to speak to a crowd instead of their community. The result is confused messaging, unqualified leads, and no growth. If your marketing feels scattered or your offer is getting lost in the noise, it might be time to stop casting a wide net and start speaking directly to the people who truly need what you provide. What would happen if you focused your message so clearly that your ideal customer knew you were talking to them?   In this week's episode, Don and Kyle talk with Josh Taylor, CMO of OptSpot, about how his agency transformed by niching down to serve only car wash owners. Josh shares how narrowing their audience helped them go from charging $50/month to $2,500/month, built a 99% client retention rate, and created a repeatable, strategic playbook for success.
