Tyrone and Marion operated their building company by working massive hours, starting at 4 AM and finishing at 11 PM six days a week. Because Tyrone treated his crew and his clients like family, he constantly absorbed the costs of uncharged variations to "help out" his network. On one large commercial project, his failure to track daily site expenses led to a gross profit margin of just 3% after paying for undocumented waste removal. By joining The Professional Builder, Tyrone implemented a holistic financial framework. He instituted tiered pricing based on project size, ensuring jobs under $80,000 carried a 40% margin, while larger jobs held a strict 30% to 35% margin. He also deployed a default diary to ring-fence his time for quoting and established scorecard accountability for his staff, finally moving his business from a reactive state into a proactive, highly profitable company.

In Part One of our exclusive two-part interview with Marcus Wareing, we sit down with one of the most influential chefs of his generation to trace the extraordinary story of how a shy teenager from Southport became one of the defining figures of modern British cooking. Marcus takes us from working in his father's fruit and veg warehouse as a boy to leaving home at 18 for The Savoy, before literally knocking on the door of Le Gavroche and asking for a job in one of the greatest kitchens in the world.Marcus then takes us inside the brutal, exhilarating kitchens that forged an extraordinary generation of British chefs, and recalls the first time he encountered a young Gordon Ramsay, describing him as a “f***ing machine” who nobody else in the kitchen could come close to. He reveals what it was really like becoming Gordon's right-hand man at Aubergine, why they gave a young Angela Hartnett just two weeks to survive, and how the relentless intensity eventually pushed Marcus towards burnout.It's a remarkable insight into a lost era of cooking: kitchens with no recipe books, where everything was done by eye, touch and feel, and where careers were forged through obsession, instinct and sheer endurance. Part One takes us all the way to Marcus winning his first Michelin star alongside Gordon, setting the stage perfectly for Part Two, where Marcus finally opens up about the explosive breakdown of their relationship and the 15-year feud that followed.You can book a virtual demonstration with Quooker to find the right setup for your kitchen and remember, until the end of August, if you use the code GO TO FOOD, you'll get free installation and a free Quooker glassware set.

CEO of Greater St Louis, Inc. Ron Kitchens joins Chris and Amy as the show continues it's discussion on "The Great Divorce"- when St. Louis was split into city and county 150 years ago this week. How does the city/county divide affect us today? What is an area that St. Louis can hone in on to make effective change? 'It's always about the leadership,' says Kitchens.

We have an update on the Sorrento Fire that's forced evacuaiton orders. Plus, county supervisors are set to vote on state bills that would reduce rising utility costs. And, a local non-profit that helps provide job training and support to entrepreneurs. NBC 7's Marianne Kushi has these stories and more, include meteorologist Sheena Parveen's forecast for Monday, August 17, 2026.

On Aug. 7, Todd Shapiro was just finishing dinner in Summerland, B.C., when a wildfire outside the town “exploded” and prompted an immediate provincial emergency evacuation order. The former Montrealer, who had just moved to the Okanagan area last summer, grabbed his passport, a jar of peanut butter and some toilet paper, rounded up his teenage son and family dog, and fled the region. Shapiro is one of 20,000 residents of Summerland ordered to leave their homes as the fire, the size of the city of Burlington, Ont., is still out of control more than a week later. After an anxious journey, he shared, “I was kind of freaking out”, facing closed highways and uncertain of where to go. Shapiro and his family made it to Kelowna, where they were invited to sleep at the home of Jewish community leader Abbey Westbury. She runs a winery, but also is a Jewish Federation of B.C. “community connector”, who also has close ties to the local synagogue and the Okanagan Jewish Community Centre. Westbury has been making food for evacuees and the first responders fighting the wildfire. The smoke and ash from Summerland has been blanketing Kelowna, too, and made it difficult to just be outside. Despite suffering an asthma attack this week, local Chabad Rabbi Shmuly Hecht, with his wife, Fraidy, turned their Chabad of Okanagan centre in Kelowna into a supplies depot for evacuees and hosts. They've kept their summer camp running but switched to indoor activities. In Penticton, just up the road from Summerland, local Jewish resident Tami Bray, who works for an environmental organization, has been running a city-wide relief centre, but feeling frustrated that politicians aren't using the words “climate change” to describe what has caused this summer's devastation. On today's episode of The CJN's North Star podcast, host Ellin Bessner hears from these four Jewish residents on the front lines of the out-of-control Bald Range fire.

This week we're joined by Naz Hassan, the chef behind two of London's most talked-about Italian restaurants, Lupa and Ornella, alongside co-founders Ed Templeton and Theo James. Naz tells us how a drunken conversation at a Christmas party somehow turned into opening restaurants with one of Hollywood's biggest stars, why Lupa being fully booked for its first three months became both a blessing and a curse, and what it really takes to survive the hype surrounding a major London opening. Born in Bangladesh and raised in Milan, Naz also opens up about rejecting his Bengali identity as a teenager, experiencing racism in Italy and eventually finding his place in London's restaurant world. We hear about his years in some of the city's toughest kitchens, the infamous chef's kitchen where he considered quitting almost every day, and how working with Chet Sharma helped him reconnect with his South Asian heritage. Plus, we get into chef egos, restaurant culture, the Bengali restaurant he still dreams of opening and the greatest dishes he's ever eaten.You can book a virtual demonstration with Quooker to find the right setup for your kitchen and remember, until the end of August, if you use the code GO TO FOOD, you'll get free installation and a free Quooker glassware set.

In this episode of the Franchise Fit Podcast, Lance Graulich sits down with Jon Floyd, owner and operator of HOODZ, to talk about building a commercial kitchen cleaning franchise from the ground up. Jon's path into the business started in an unexpected place: aboard U.S. Navy ships in 1997, where cleaning kitchen hoods was sometimes handed to him as punishment. Years later, after retiring from his military career and exploring several business ideas, Jon found HOODZ while researching franchise opportunities. He launched his franchise in 2023 and has since expanded his interests across multiple states.

This week we sit down with the extraordinary Mursal Saiq for a conversation that goes far beyond food. Mursal takes us from a childhood shaped by war in Afghanistan and arriving in Britain as a refugee, to the devastating separation of her family at the UK border and the years that followed. She recalls the extraordinary places life subsequently took her — from Hackney to India and Italy, living on a fishing trawler in Portsmouth and even spending time with English showman families who couldn't pronounce Mursal and instead called her “Roger” — before eventually finding her place in food.Her route into restaurants has been just as unconventional. We hear how she immersed herself in American barbecue, eventually took Afghan-Texan BBQ to competitions in the United States and remarkably finished second at the World Food Championships in Texas — beaten by a team of US Air Force veterans. She explains how Cue Point was born, how it survived the pandemic and why combining the food of Afghanistan with the techniques of American barbecue became about much more than creating something delicious: it became a way of preserving recipes, memories and a culture she fears could otherwise disappear.And then things get fiery. Mursal explains why Gordon Ramsay's use of the word “authentic” infuriates her, and questions why an Afghan chef cooking outside Afghan cuisine can be challenged while celebrated white chefs are free to cook food from anywhere in the world. She reveals why her entire kitchen wears grey in protest at the hierarchy she believes traditional chef whites represent, discusses race and class within Michelin kitchens, the industry figures who told her to stop mixing conversations about race and heritage with food, and why she believes hospitality still excludes far too many of the people it claims to welcome. Funny, furious, moving and completely unfiltered — this is one of our most thought-provoking conversations yet.You can book a virtual demonstration with Quooker to find the right setup for your kitchen and remember, until the end of August, if you use the code GO TO FOOD, you'll get free installation and a free Quooker glassware set.

Interview with Stephen Hunking of Hypnolovewheel ! Hypnolovewheel was founded in 1986 in New York City by guitarists Dave Ramirez and Stephen Hunking and bassist Dan Cuddy, already old-time friends and veterans of Long Island garage-rock prodigies Plastic Device. They were quickly joined by Peter Walsh, a Connecticut garage-rock prodigy and the sole respondent to an esoteric “Wanted Drummers” flyer that sought a percussionist in the mold of: 1. Moe Tucker 2. Chris Partridge 3. Micky Dolenz 4. Molty (hope I Spelled That Right) [NB: He did not.] 5. Jughead 6. Charlie Watts 7. Simon (Alvin's Brother)”   A perplexed Walsh mistook the plural “Drummers” as an indication that he was enlisting in some sort of drum corps, but the situation was quickly clarified, and with that magic connection made, the quirky quartet were off to the races, playing at CBGB in the midnight Sunday slot and at the Lismar Lounge way too many times. In 1987, the band released a 4-track, 7-inch EP on their own Snatch-O-Matic imprint and contributed a theme song to Pat Bishow's psychotronic film classic Soultangler.   A debut album, Turn! Turn! Burn! (produced by Albert Garzon) followed the next year on the boutique Fabian Aural Products label to high-profile accolades: It was a “real gem,” per David Browne in the New York Daily News. In The Village Voice, R. J. Smith praised “the heel-in-amp feedback fuzz, the raga goo-goo gaga . . . they want to howl, and this record makes you listen.” And it was onward and upward from there, with local shows, regional tours, and a follow-up album, Candy Mantra, released in 1989. By this auspicious point, the group was garnering attention from underground tastemakers Conflict and 18 Wheeler, not to mention the lofty likes of The New York Times. (According to the Grey Lady, Hypnolovewheel played “slightly cockeyed, 1960's-style pop-rock, layered with 1980's fuzz, noise, and irony.”)   All the critical hubbub and CMJ chart success attracted the interest of larger labels, and Hypnolovewheel signed with California's Alias Records for a trilogy of acclaimed albums: Space Mountain (1991), Angel Food (1992), and Altered States (1993), all created in collaboration with producer/engineer Lou Giordano.   Hypnolovewheel's four songwriters and vocalists gave them an eclectic range that encompassed the driving noise rock of “I Dream of Jeannie” and jangling pop of “Bridget Because,” both college radio hits with videos directed by Walsh featured on MTV's 120 Minutes. That versatility may not have served them particularly well in the commercial realm, but it allowed them to successfully share stages with acts ranging from the Fleshtones to the Jesus Lizard to fIREHOSE to Widespread Panic. They toured the US with NYC smart-alecks King Missile, featuring Plastic Device colleague and Hypno coproducer Chris Xefos and Ramirez on drums. They toured some more with UK shoegazers Kitchens of Distinction and power-pop poohbahs The Posies. They toured a lotby themselves, and they rubbed elbows with iconic rock heroes Moe Tucker and Arthur Lee and indie all-stars Galaxie 500, Pavement, Bongwater, Unrest, Superchunk, Brainiac, and Scrawl, among many others. Thanks to Cuddy's day job, they were featured multiple times in Marvel's Spider-Man comics.   At a certain point they stopped playing and did a lot of other things. Then they got back together in 2001 for one of Yo La Tengo's inaugural Hanukkah shows at Maxwell's. Then they stopped again and did some more things, including such notable musical projects as Dew Claw, High Tunnels, The Special Pillow, Sleepyhead, Electostim, Grand Union, XL Kings, and the revivified, superannuated Plastic Device.   Peter Walsh died too young in 2021. Not all stories have happy endings. But not all stories are over when you think they are. Eventually, Hypnolovewheel got the rights to their music back, and it will all be streaming to you in the near future. Starting now!   https://open.spotify.com/artist/54TWW2ZcDuyn8KxnpwtUaf?si=HLp1f0U-QKaJecudDh6Gqw https://www.instagram.com/hypnolovewheel/

Hi everyone, and welcome to Home Design Chat with Nancy, where we talk about the ideas, trends, and practical choices that make our homes more beautiful, functional, and livable.Today we're talking about a subject that almost nobody in the design industry wants to discuss.Some of today's most beautiful homes are also some of the most dangerous. I recently saw a bathroom in Veranda magazine featuring a gorgeous tub designed by Gabriela Eisenhart  The topic of the article was about trends for 2027 that improve everyday living, so I thought this would be great to share with you on this podcast.I have described the picture in depth to create an image of this room in your mind's eye.  I came to the conclusion that this is a very dangerous tub design and may look great in a photo but is not safe or practical. The picture on my post is of the bathroom in question. I have to give credit to the photographer:  William Abranowicz. Let me know if I accomplished my objective about this tub design by emailing me your comments.Kitchens also have safety issues which I talk about. Cooktops and stoves with no landing space, over-the-range microwaves, not enough walkway between islands and perimeter countertops and lack of lighting in kitchens are also hazard points discussed in this podcast. I have pointed out dangerous and bad designs in several podcasts, but it worth reminding people who are looking to remodel that safety and function are as important as aesthetics. If you enjoyed my podcasts, please subscribe on the platform you use to listen to podcasts.  It's very easy to do it on your phone.  Go to the podcast app, search for Home Design Chat with Nancy and hit subscribe.Check out my website, NancyHugo.com to learn more about me and see some of my projects.  I have added a tab for Designers Circle where I update the blogs about Design trends, design news and things to know frequently.  Designers Circle was being sent out bi-monthly but instead I have added to my website.Email me at Nancy@nancyhugo.com if you have an questions or comments.

The Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 2 (7.31) Neil Saavedra, The Fork Reporter, is in the house and we're getting the number. How much weight has Neil actually dropped? The answer is 42 pounds following gastric sleeve surgery, and he's got plenty to say about the whole ride. Then we veer completely sideways into 3D printing tales — because Neil is fully, unapologetically addicted to big prints. Then it's a galaxy far, far away and a whole lot of money. George Lucas sold Star Wars — and what it's worth today is staggering. We dig into behind-the-scenes stories from the legendary cantina scene, plus a question that trips up a lot of creators: if you use Star Wars files, do you have to pay for them? Also, one for the locals — Cinema Secrets in Toluca Lake has closed its doors for good. From there we get into the food world, and it's messy. Chefs are a rebellious breed, and right now that rebellion is showing. Five-star restaurants are closing. Kitchens can't keep the lights on. L.A. is going through a real change, and experiential restaurants are challenging everything we thought a night out was supposed to be. And before you go — check out Neil's 3D printing projects over at @Saavcoindustries on Instagram. The man is not messing around.

"Parallel Universe" When I was working in college radio it seemed like Hypnolovewheel was putting out a record every year. And it felt that way because they pretty much were. Although they'd put out two records in the eighties, in the '90s the Long Island outfit released a trilogy of albums in an indie rock whirlwind: there was 1991's Space Mountain, 1992's Angel Food and 1993's Altered States. An EP followed and--well, that was pretty much it. More on that in a second. Over the course of their seven-year career, Hypnolovewheel toured with Kitchens of Distinction and King Missle, opened for fIREHOSE, the Jesus Lizard and the Fleshtones, got played on 120 Minutes and got rave reviews from The New York Times and were featured in Spider-Man comics. The band's compositions were loaded with clever lyrics, sneaky rhythms and hooks galore and each song jangled away with grinding, catchy beauty. Falling somewhere between R.E.M. and Lotion, Hypnolovewheel are one of those bands that may have been overlooked simply because college radio was a crowded and competitive field, but their new compilation Parallel Universe is a perfect sampler of what you might have missed, were you one of the folks who missed these guys the first time around. Drummer Peter Walsh passed away in 2021, but the remaining members are active in the reissue campaign of their back catalog and there's a lot of music to hear. https://hypnolovewheel1.bandcamp.com/album/parallel-universe https://www.instagram.com/hypnolovewheel/ www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Stereo Embers: Threads + IG + BLUESKY: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

We're sharing our hottest RV camping takes, and some of them might ruffle a few feathers. Do generators ruin the campground vibe? Are outdoor kitchens overrated? Do campers bring way too much gear? And should setting up your campsite really take longer than 30 minutes? PJ and Lindsay debate RV resorts, oversized campers, solar upgrades, rainy camping trips, camping with kids, boondocking, hookups and more. These opinions may be controversial, but they could also help you simplify your setup and enjoy camping a little more. Listen along, then share your own unpopular camping opinion with us!

Diving into the world of home organization, we kick things off with Shelby, affectionately known as the Neat Freak. From a young age, Shelby was destined for this path, transforming her bedroom into a well-organized haven instead of indulging in typical childhood escapades. With a background that meandered through marketing and business, it wasn't until the pandemic hit that she decided to embrace her passion for organization full-time. Fast forward to today, Shelby has teamed up with the Container Store to help others declutter their lives in Northern California. Her journey is not just about neatness; it's about creating a customized organization system that fits each client's unique needs, especially those with ADHD, which she knows all too well. She emphasizes that organizing isn't about rigid rules but finding solutions that resonate with how each individual thinks and functions, making it a fun and tailored experience for her clients. As we continue, our conversation takes a deeper dive into the psychological aspects of clutter and organization. Shelby shares anecdotes about clients grappling with their belongings, revealing that often, it's not just about the physical items but the emotional attachments tied to them. The discussion segues into the challenges faced by those who might feel overwhelmed by their spaces, drawing parallels to popular but controversial reality shows that rush the decluttering process. Shelby candidly critiques these shows for their often harsh approach, advocating instead for a more compassionate and supportive method in dealing with clients. After all, it's not just about cleaning up; it's about understanding the emotional journey that comes with it. We wrap things up with a look at how Shelby's approach integrates seamlessly with interior design, highlighting the importance of collaboration for achieving functional spaces. She recounts how working alongside professionals like Wendy has exponentially improved the end results for clients, showing that when design and organization come together, the result is not just a tidy home, but a sanctuary that fosters well-being. As we bid farewell, listeners are left with practical tips and a renewed appreciation for the art of organization, reminding us that a little help can go a long way in transforming our spaces into true reflections of ourselves.Takeaways:Shelby Cornett emphasizes that organizing is about understanding individual needs, especially for those with ADHD, creating tailored solutions rather than one-size-fits-all approaches.The emotional connection people have with their possessions can complicate organization efforts, requiring patience and empathy from organizers.Kitchens and garages are the top spaces where folks feel overwhelmed and often seek organizational help, highlighting the need for effective systems in high-traffic areas.Decluttering before organizing is crucial; no one wants to spend money on storing things they don't need, which is a lesson many clients learn the hard way.The right organizational systems can transform a home, making it a source of joy rather than stress, as clients often feel overwhelmed by clutter.Hiring a professional organizer can change the game, helping clients find relief and clarity in their spaces, leading to a more beautiful and functional home.Links referenced in this episode:aroundthehouseonline.comtheneatfreakco.comwendyglasterinteriors.comMentioned in this episode:Around the House 2026 YouTube!

Addison, Texas is proof that a small map footprint can deliver huge flavor. We drove up from Waco and immediately felt it: this pocket of the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex runs on good food, big gatherings, and the kind of walkable energy that makes you want to park once and just explore. Sweet Paris: https://www.sweetparis.com/ Landmark Kitchen and Bar:  https://www.landmarkbars.com/addison Fuzz Labs: https://fuzzlab.co/ Dolce Paradiso:  https://www.dolceparadiso.net/ Visit Addison: https://visitaddison.com/Sidecar Social : https://sidecarsocial.com/addison/ Kick it Festival:  https://visitaddison.com/kickit/We're joined by Amber Patterson from Visit Addison, who breaks down what makes the city such a magnet for meetups and weekend trips. We talk Kaboom Town, Addison's legendary July 3 fireworks celebration, and Addison Oktoberfest, a long-running festival that brings a surprisingly authentic Munich-style experience to North Texas. Then we get into the stat that stops every foodie in their tracks: roughly 200 restaurants packed into 4.4 square miles, plus the local backstory of how Addison became a launchpad for iconic concepts.Sports fans get love too. With the World Cup coming to the Dallas area, Amber shares how Addison is preparing with watch-friendly restaurants and a four-day Kick It in Addison festival at Addison Circle Park, complete with a huge screen and all-day match viewing. We also swap notes on why the park itself is worth a stop, and how Java and Hops Coffee House turns a simple stroll into the perfect park lunch plan with standout coffee.We kick off our restaurant recap with Sweet Paris, and we preview more spots and experiences we're adding shortly after a quick technical hiccup.  Also mentioned in this episode: Jessica Vasquez- Design It Dallas: @DesignitDallas Part 2: Exploring Moray Speyside-Scotland: A Day of Hidden Treasures, Adventure, and Culinary Delights | 229 | https://www.buzzsprout.com/263670/episodes/15853436From Lighthouses to Castles - Join us in Moray Speyside, Scotland - Part 1 | 228 | https://www.buzzsprout.com/263670/episodes/15845252Subscribe so you don't miss the updated full rundown, and if you enjoyed the travel and food intel, share the episode and leave us a review.Ready for Summer?

Pizza culture embedded itself in Dylan's DNA around 2009, and he always dreamed of opening a pizzeria. That dream finally came to fruition in 2006 with Very Important Pizza, a NY style slice shop that has quickly gotten Omaha's attention. Dylan and I discuss what makes pizza culture different, why a cheese slice defines a pizzeria, and what it was like to finally realize his lifelong pizza dream. This episode is about more than food—it's about doing something the right way, every single day.

It has been quite a few months since we checked in with J. Ryan Stradal, our writer in residence. He is in his editing stage, making sure that the latest draft he delivers is the best he can do. AND, he has a title-NEXT WEEK WHEN THINGS CALM DOWN (we love this title). We talk to him about where he is, why it takes so long to get a book out and how is feeling about this very personal novel. We also talk to The Nook in Lancaster PA about how and why they got into the book business. Join us.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Robin Wilson. Topic: Clean Design, wellness, asthma and allergy–aware livingFeatured Work: Clean Design: Wellness for Your Lifestyle Robin Wilson, a clean design lifestyle expert and founder of the Clean Design Home brand, joins Rushion McDonald to discuss how everyday household choices directly impact health—particularly for people living with asthma, allergies, and chronic inflammation. Drawing from her personal experiences as a lifelong allergy and asthma sufferer, Wilson explains how creating an allergen-aware home can dramatically improve quality of life. Purpose of the Interview The primary purpose of the interview is to: Educate listeners about how indoor environments contribute to asthma, allergies, and chronic health issues Promote Robin Wilson’s Clean Design philosophy and book, which provides room-by-room guidance for creating healthier homes Raise awareness that simple, practical lifestyle changes—not expensive renovations—can significantly improve wellness Normalize conversations around asthma, allergies, and environmental triggers as serious, manageable health conditions Rushion also uses the platform to share his own deeply personal experiences with allergic reactions, reinforcing the life-changing importance of Wilson’s message.. Key Takeaways 1. Your Home Should Be a Breathing Sanctuary Wilson emphasizes that many people focus on outdoor allergens while overlooking indoor exposure. Shoes, coats, pillows, furniture, and bedding often trap pollen, bacteria, and toxins that worsen symptoms once brought indoors.. 2. Pillows and Bedding Are Major Health Triggers One of the most memorable segments centers on pillows: Many people keep pillows for six years or more Old pillows accumulate dander, pollen, drool, bacteria, and allergens A pillow that stays folded is a sign it needs to be replaced Wilson introduces her “rule of threes”: Wash pillowcases every three weeks Wash pillow protectors every three months Replace pillows every three years Rushion shares that replacing a problematic pillow helped eliminate a chronic cough that seriously affected his life.. 3. “Allergen-Aware” Is More Honest Than “Hypoallergenic” Wilson avoids the term hypoallergenic because allergies vary from person to person. Instead, she advocates for ingredient transparency, empowering consumers to decide what is safe for their bodies and homes.. 4. Small Habits Create Big Health Outcomes Key daily practices include: Removing shoes immediately upon entering the home Washing hands before eating Changing clothes after being outdoors Cleaning from the top down (ceiling fans, surfaces, floors) Protecting mattresses and pillows with zippered covers Wilson stresses that consistency—not perfection—is what reduces exposure over time.. 5. Asthma Is a Serious Chronic Condition Wilson compares asthma management to diabetes care: It requires ongoing lifestyle adjustments Ignoring triggers increases the risk of severe attacks Clean environments reduce flare-ups and emergency situations She explains that nighttime asthma and allergy attacks often occur when cortisol levels drop during sleep, allowing reactions to surface.. 6. The Book Is a Practical, Room-by-Room Guide Clean Design: Wellness for Your Lifestyle is designed as a reference guide, not a cover-to-cover read. It addresses: Entryways and living rooms Bedrooms and nurseries Kitchens and bathrooms Home offices, basements, garages, and outdoor spaces Wilson also includes low-toxicity cleaning tips inspired by her grandmother, such as using baking soda, toothpaste, and even Coca-Cola instead of harsh chemicals.. Notable Quotes “One in five people suffer from asthma or allergies… and the home should be a sanctuary for easy breathing.”. “Break up with your pillow.”. “You might be allergic outside—and then come inside and double your allergen load.”.t “Asthma is like diabetes. If you manage the triggers, you reduce the risk of a serious episode.”. “It’s all about effort and consistency.”. #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
