Join us as we break down what it truly means to be saved by grace through faith, examining the critical verses Ephesians 2:8-9: "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast."This episode tackles the tension between predestination and free will, challenging common interpretations and providing a biblical perspective on God's omniscience and humanity's choices. We discuss how God has always given us a choice, even as He foreknows all things (Romans 8:29-30).We then unpack the vital concepts of grace, faith, and salvation. Learn how:Grace saves us, is the essence of the Bible, gives victory over sin, and provides God's mercy, favor, and love.Faith is trust and conviction in God and Jesus Christ, requiring intellectual assent and belief in truth.Salvation is deliverance from God's judgment and the penalty of sin, leading to an eternal destiny in the Kingdom of God.Discover how these three foundational elements impact our lives as believers. We'll explore how our faith drives our actions, and why "a faith that does not change you, cannot save you."

In this episode of the HVAC School podcast, Bryan welcomes back Jim to discuss the groundbreaking SureSwitch contactor technology from Copeland. This isn't just another incremental improvement - it's a complete reimagining of how contactors should work in modern HVAC systems. Jim brings his expertise and even demonstrates the technology with a special cutaway camera setup, giving listeners and viewers an inside look at this innovative solution. The conversation begins with the evolution of contactors in the HVAC industry, explaining how manufacturers moved backward from heavy-duty two-pole contactors to lighter, more cost-effective one-and-a-half pole designs. While this cost reduction made sense for manufacturers, it often left technicians dealing with more frequent failures and replacements. The SureSwitch represents a leap forward, combining the reliability of traditional heavy-duty contactors with modern electronic intelligence and enhanced protection features. One of the most compelling aspects of the SureSwitch is its multi-voltage coil capability, supporting 24V, 110V, and 240V applications with a single unit. This flexibility dramatically reduces inventory requirements for contractors and service companies, allowing one contactor to handle residential HVAC, refrigeration cases, ice machines, and pool heaters. The universal application makes it particularly valuable for smaller businesses that need to stock fewer SKUs while maintaining the ability to handle diverse applications. The technical innovation behind the SureSwitch's longevity is fascinating. Using an optical sensor (described as a "little eye" in the sealed chamber), the contactor monitors for electrical arcing during contact opening and closing. The built-in microprocessor analyzes the 60Hz AC sine wave and times the contact operation to occur at the zero-crossing point, eliminating destructive arcing. This "no-arc zone" operation, combined with latching contacts that prevent chatter during brownout conditions, results in contacts that remain clean and functional even after a million cycles - five times longer than traditional contactors. Key Topics Covered ·        Contactor Evolution and Industry Innovation o   Historical perspective on contactor design changes from heavy-duty to cost-optimized o   Why the HVAC industry needed to innovate forward rather than continue cost-cutting ·        Multi-Voltage Flexibility o   Single contactor handles 24V, 110V, and 240V coil applications o   Reduces inventory requirements and simplifies contractor operations o   Applications include residential HVAC, refrigeration, ice machines, and pool heaters ·        Arc-Free Contact Technology o   Optical sensor monitoring system for detecting electrical arcing o   Microprocessor-controlled timing to operate at AC sine wave zero-crossing o   Five times longer contact life compared to traditional contactors ·        Chatter Elimination and Latching Mechanism o   Internal power supply eliminates dependency on weak control voltage o   Magnetic latching system prevents contact bouncing during brownout conditions o   Protection against undersized control wiring and long wire runs ·        Sealed Contact Chamber Design o   100% sealed contact chamber prevents insect and debris contamination o   Eliminates common failure modes from ants, earwigs, and lizards o   Reduces need for pest control interventions ·        Built-in Compressor Protection Features o   Brownout protection with automatic voltage monitoring (184V threshold) o   Random start delay (0-90 seconds) for multiple unit installations o   Short cycle timer protection working independently of thermostat timers ·        Installation and Compatibility Considerations o   Compatible mounting holes with standard contactors o   Proper crankcase heater wiring configurations o   Training considerations for technicians adapting to new terminal layout ·        Warranty and Business Applications o   10-year warranty vs. standard 1-year contactor warranties o   Good-better-best selling scenarios for contractor businesses o   Applications in high-end residential and commercial installations   Learn more at the SureSwitch at http://www.hvacrschool.com/SureSwitch.  Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

Host: Dr. Ashlee Gethner, LCSW – Child of a Police Officer Jennifer Woosley Saylor, LPCC S – Child of a Police Officer Guest: Chief Deputy Justin Miller, Kenosha Sheriff’s Office Episode Overview: In this insightful episode, Ashlee and Jennifer, welcome Chief Deputy Justin Miller from the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office. Chief Deputy Miller shares his journey from serving as a Navy psychiatric technician to law enforcement leadership, opening up about how personal experiences and organizational gaps in mental health support shaped his mission to prioritize officer wellness. Key Topics Covered The Struggle for Support: Chief Deputy Miller recounts moments where, due to budget cuts, Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) and peer support teams were unavailable, leaving officers without organizational resources for mental well-being. Personal Impact: He discusses the life events that first drew his attention to the importance of officer mental health, from the suicide of a significant other to his own family losses, and the organizational culture’s lack of compassion. Culture Shift in Law Enforcement: The conversation delves into the challenges of changing a deeply ingrained “rub dirt on it” mindset, and how being promoted doesn’t always mean having a real voice for change. Innovative Wellness Initiatives: Chief Deputy Miller outlines current strategies in his department. Breaking the Stigma: Chief Deputy Miller explains how officer education, transparency, and leadership modeling are critical for long-term cultural change. Family & Community Impact: The importance of involving officer families in wellness programs—offering access to resources, education, and community-building events. Advice for Leaders & Providers: For law enforcement administrators - Be humble, open to new ideas, prioritize serving your people, and build cultures where feedback leads to actionable change. For mental health professionals - There’s a pressing need for more providers trained to understand first responder culture, as well as resources tailored for both officers and their families. From Struggle to Success: Chief Deputy Miller shares that Kenosha has achieved zero vacancies in both patrol and corrections—a rarity in the current law enforcement climate—and credits a strong, invested culture of wellness and leadership development.

Episode 247: What if customers achieve real results—but don't know it? Most vendors sell functionality. Mari Cross wants customers to see impact—in their own numbers, in real time. Mari Cross, Chief Customer Officer at Infor, is dismantling a common illusion: that delivering software features equals delivering value. Infor sells enterprise resource planning (ERP) tools, but Mari's focus is on proving business outcomes. She built a system where customers define the results that matter, track them through the product itself, and act on them with confidence. Her team isn't there to rescue implementations. They're there to make value obvious—and to ensure it keeps showing up. Most ERP systems operate like black boxes. Even when customers get results, they can't always prove it. Mari attacks that gap.  Infor's value mapping begins before the deal closes. Once the system is live, telemetry and process mining show what's working and where clients are drifting off course. This isn't a side program—it's baked into the product and reflected back to users in dashboards, metrics, and business KPIs. The shift isn't just operational. It's cultural. Mari rebuilt Infor's customer success team to be proactive, industry-specific, and integrated from day one. That means fewer rescue missions, fewer slide decks, and more conversations grounded in actual product usage and outcome data. And it means the customer success journey starts well before go-live—and runs all the way through renewal. “A good value conversation is if you have some measures in place that are more repeatable than having a value engineer fly in from left field,” Mari says. Learn how Infor's CareFor Success program gives customer success teams the tools, visibility, and data to show what's working and where to go next. And learn how and why value delivered is value clients understand.

Send a note to host Rob Markey. Key Topics Covered: (01:00) The value void: what clients miss—and what it costs (03:30) Why Infor embeds value mapping into the sales process (06:10) Telemetry, process mining, and outcome tracking (11:45) The difference industry specificity makes (14:50) Mari's CareFor Success program explained (17:30) Getting sales, success, and product aligned (22:15) Making value visible across the customer lifecycle (25:00) How to track value realization in real time (36:00) Culture change and customer empathy Notable Quotes: [05:00] “If someone wanted to stick completely to standard, they could flip the switch on Day 1 and use our product. That's very different than the approach, I think, some other vendors take.” [10:00] “In the vision of, ‘We succeed when our customers succeed,' the [chief customer officer] role [at Infor] was really pivoted to make sure to focus on ongoing value realization and optimization after the go-live date. That is probably a very unique orientation for Infor.”  [12:00] “We are very focused on this idea of value engagement. We launched CareFor Success, which is our success program, last year. But it's completing this value-based customer journey all the way through where we are on a regular basis, across all teams, and repeatedly driving value with our customers by helping them look at the data, optimize, and then that visibility into value delivered within the product.” [29:00] “We want to be in sync with our strategy when we talk about success motions, because that alone is an incredible power. We can become proactive.”

Psychic Hygiene Is Non-Negotiable: Ground, cleanse, and shield daily to prevent energetic overwhelm—crystals like labradorite and black tourmaline are game-changers. Shadow Work Requires Honesty: Obsidian's razor-sharp reflection cuts through illusion, while smoky quartz uplifts and excavates buried pain. Local Rocks Hold Power: Don't chase rare gems—flint, granite, and limestone connect you to the Earth's stabilizing pulse. Skeptics, Start with Metaphor: Crystals' cultural and symbolic value is undeniable, even if you're not ready to embrace their energy. Spaciousness Unlocks Wisdom: Stillness and patience let crystals “whisper” their ancient insights—try Nicholas's crystal contemplation practice.   Memorable Quotes: “Crystals never forget who they are. They're always calcite, always quartz. We humans, we're chaotic—crystals help us remember our true selves.” — Nicholas Pearson “Compassion isn't always fluffy. Sometimes it's obsidian saying, ‘No more bullshit, let's fix this now.'” — Nicholas Pearson “You don't need a rare gem to change your life. There's magic in the flint by your doorstep.” — Nicholas Pearson “Be willing to be wrong. That courage opens the door to what crystals can teach you.” — Nicholas Pearson   Actionable Steps to Start Your Crystal Journey Cleanse Your Crystals: Use smoke (sage, frankincense), sound (clapping, toning), or breath (pulsed nasal exhale) to reset their energy. Check material safety first—some stones don't mix with water or sun. Shield as an Empath: Carry labradorite for selective filtering, black tourmaline for grounding, or amethyst for sovereignty. Meditate with them to visualize a protective membrane. Try Crystal Contemplation: Hold a stone, turn it in light, feel its texture, and breathe in its qualities. Notice shifts in your body, mind, and emotions. Start with 5 minutes daily. Engage Local Rocks: Collect flint, granite, or limestone from your area. Meditate with them to anchor into your environment's energy. Face Your Shadows: Work with obsidian for honest reflection or smoky quartz to uplift heavy emotions. Journal what surfaces to integrate insights. Neutralize Tech Overload: Place shungite or smoky quartz near devices to adapt disruptive energies. Spend time in nature to recharge.   Resources Mentioned Book: Crystals for Psychic Self-Defense by Nicholas Pearson (https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B01E4TQMJU?ccs_id=405540a5-9eba-445d-8d5b-f63b4a6be82f) Crystals: Labradorite, black tourmaline, amethyst, obsidian, smoky quartz, shungite, flint, tantalite Reiki: Nicholas's pilgrimage to Mount Kurama and ongoing practice Marcel Vogel: Pioneer of modern crystal healing (https://www.satyacenter.com/pages/the-marcel-vogel-archive)   Why You Should Listen This episode isn't just about crystals—it's about owning your energy in a chaotic world.

Episode 246: The AI future of customer service is already here—and it's better than most people think. In this episode, Deon Nicholas, President and Executive Chairman of Forethought, joins host Rob Markey to show us how some companies are already using AI to resolve customer issues end-to-end in ways we could barely imagine just a couple of years ago. Deon introduces us to agentic AI: an emerging class of intelligent agents that take real action, integrate across enterprise systems, and adapt to each customer's needs. Drawing on his experience building Forethought's platform, Deon reveals how these systems are resolving issues, improving customer satisfaction, and going live in as little as 1 to 30 days. This isn't a future promise. It's happening now. The episode explores the architecture behind agentic AI, including Forethought's use of multi-agent systems, plain-language Autoflows, and a Discover model that learns company policies from historical tickets and call logs. Rob and Deon dig into risk, hallucination, and data privacy concerns—and how to address them without six-month implementation timelines. A surprising insight? Forethought sometimes adds a delay to its lightning-fast responses. Why? To build trust through operational transparency. Deon explains how even loading dots can reassure customers that the system is working on their behalf.

Key Topics Covered [1:00] Agentic AI vs. traditional chatbots [2:00] Why chatbots fail regarding decision trees and limitations [4:00] Real-time AI issue resolution and automation [7:00] AI integration with enterprise systems [12:00] Fast deployment and autoflow policy learning [15:00] Multi-agent AI systems and scalability [18:00] AI adoption challenges and business integration [22:00] Balancing AI automation and human agent handoffs [27:00] Cost comparison of AI vs. business process outsourcing [30:00] Rapid AI deployment and testing strategies Time-stamped Notable Quotes [4:00]  “With an agentic AI, you have something that has learned from your business policies. It's read through hundreds of thousands of past conversations, knows the vernacular, knows how to respond, and knows the business policy. So, instead of getting a menu of items, you just have a conversation.” [13:00]  “You probably already have hundreds of thousands of conversations, whether they're sitting in transcripts, support tickets, [or] call recordings. It turns out that is a wealth of data that can train an AI in such a way that you don't need to manually create all these rules and decision trees and workflows.” [ 16:00] “When we first launched our LLM-native AI two years ago, there were some hallucinations. But we've been able to go through, evaluate the model, fine-tune the model, and now we're at the point where it rarely happens. What we typically say to everyone is: ‘Test it. Test it before you launch it, run a 14-day free trial, proof of value, run us against anyone else in the market.'” [21:00]  “What's beautiful about all of this is now you get to the point where AI can become embedded into the ecosystem—and, ironically, make all of these human experiences better.” [21:00] “AI is making it so that when it's time to actually hand off to a human agent, you're far less frustrated, or far less likely to be frustrated. And then the humans will now be resolving issues that require more judgment and more empathy.”

In this episode of The Red Light Report, Dr. Mike Belkowski returns fresh from the Health Optimization Summit in Austin, Texas, where he reconnected with the vibrant biohacking community. While the event buzz was exciting, Dr. Mike dives right back into what he does best: breaking down cutting-edge research in mitochondrial health and red light therapy. Key Topics Covered: 1. The Mitochondria–Gut Microbiota–Cardiovascular Axis Dr. Mike reviews a pre-release study that uncovers the two-way relationship between our gut microbes and mitochondrial function. Disruptions here may fuel inflammation and oxidative stress, leading to cardiovascular disease. The fix? Support both systems with red light therapy, methylene blue, probiotics, and lifestyle upgrades. 2. Phytochemicals & Gut Health A second study emphasizes how plant compounds like polyphenols and phytochemicals can rebalance gut flora and reduce inflammation. The takeaway: what we eat shapes our gut — and therefore our aging process and mitochondrial efficiency. 3. Red Light Therapy for the Gut-Brain Axis Dr. Mike explores three new studies showing that red and near-infrared light applied to the abdomen can: • Boost beneficial gut bacteria • Improve cognitive and motor function (even in Parkinson's patients) • Decrease harmful microbes He shares exact dosages and frequencies from the research — including exciting applications of pulsed frequencies (e.g., 700Hz) and intranasal photobiomodulation. 4. BioLight's New Methylene Blue Blend – BioBlue Mike reintroduces his company's enhanced methylene blue product, BioBlue, which includes NMN, colloidal gold/silver, and fulvic acid for boosted mitochondrial absorption and synergy with red light therapy. 5. Mitochondrial Inheritance Bombshell To close the episode, Dr. Mike unpacks a groundbreaking (but still early-stage) study suggesting that mitochondria might not be passed down exclusively from mothers. Some animal studies hint that paternal mitochondrial inheritance might occasionally occur — a potential paradigm shift in mitochondrial genetics.
