With the start of the high school football season looming on the horizon, the Final Score podcast kicks off its preview with Oakdale High coach Kurt Stein. Last season, the Bears finished 14-0 for the first time and captured their second state title with a 42-35 victory over Linganore in the Class 3A championship game. It marked the first state football final contested between Frederick County teams. Stein chats with host Greg Swatek about that epic moment and his team's epic season. They also steer the conversation toward the upcoming season. What does he expect at Oakdale? Who will be the key players on this year's team? How will the team handle a very challenging schedule and the weight of expectations? Is he enjoying the job as much as he ever has heading into his 14th season as the only varsity football coach the school has ever had? Prior to that conversation, FNP sports writer Alexander Dacy joins Greg to discuss covering multiple no-hitters in a span of 23 days, including one in the major leagues, and the future of Urbana native Trey Lipscomb with the Washington Nationals.

Nick is joined by Kurt Stein, an IT consultant and digital transformation expert, to talk about the impact of AI on entrepreneurship and business, particularly in a rapidly changing landscape. Kurt emphasises the importance of embracing AI as an enabler rather than a threat, highlighting the need for businesses to adapt and innovate quickly. They delve into various AI tools and platforms, such as Microsoft Copilot and Descript, that can enhance business operations and efficiency, and touch on the significance of effective prompting in utilising AI tools and the necessity for businesses to build an AI-first culture to stay competitive in the evolving market.  KEY TAKEAWAYS It is crucial for businesses to embrace AI as an enabler of growth and innovation, rather than a threat. To excel in using AI tools effectively, continuous learning and practice are essential. Start small, experiment, and refine your prompts. Utilising tools like Microsoft Co-Pilot can significantly impact businesses by enabling AI capabilities within existing systems. Explore a variety of AI tools such as Descript, u.com, OpenAI, VEED.io, and WordTune to enhance productivity and efficiency in different business functions. Improving prompting skills is key to maximising the potential of AI tools. Practice, follow experts, and take relevant courses to enhance prompting abilities. BEST MOMENTS "If you want to go run a marathon, you don't just put on a pair of sneakers and just start running. You're going to hurt yourself. You're going to make a lot of mistakes. You're going to do everything wrong."  "The prompting really is the key. You don't have to be a computer engineer or a computer scientist in order to do that. So let that fear go away. You can actually work with it. You can be very successful with it."  "It's not AI that's going to kind of, you know, kill your business or kind of stop your employment. It's someone who knows how to use it better."  "So the one thing that's kind of level things as well is Microsoft, is Google. Microsoft more so. Google stumbled in the beginning with some of the things they were doing."

The demand for housing is high and there is a need for duplexes and zoning changes to allow for mother-in-law suites. Kurt started a home inspection business after hearing complaints from his family. He focused on hiring people with high character and good communication skills. Home inspections require knowledge of houses, customer service, and presentation of findings. Kurt works with high-producing teams to get more at-bats.   [13:35 - 20:15] Digging Into the Hiring Process: Finding the Right Person for Home Inspections Hiring people requires trial and error. Questions need to be asked to find the right person. People hired don't come from the home inspection world. Look for character and communication skills, verbal and written. Backgrounds of team members are wildly different. You need a very organized person to be able to run a team. Kurt hired a person called Jillian, who is perfect for the job.   [20:15 - 26:57] Navigating Home Inspections and Avoiding Common Mistakes Jillian was brought on to turn a group of 3 inspectors into a company. However, they shy away from construction backgrounds, as they can be alarmist and nitpicky. Training process is steps 1-100 with handholding for up to 6 months. 200 inspections are usually enough to see 99% of what you'll see in houses. There are training facilities like House of Horrors in Miami and Denver. Complaints come when expectations are too high or too low. Home inspectors have to check one item per room at the bare minimum.   [26:57 - 33:23] Discovering Major Safety Issues and How to Handle Them Focus primarily on major safety issues rather than spending too much time on minor ones. Separate your report into minor, moderate, and major items. Major safety risks include floor water damage and the risk of falling through the floor. Minor safety risks include missing cover plates from walls. Use the technology available to fix foundation issues.   [33:23 - 40:18] Home Inspection: Common Sense, Function, Safety, and Pool Tips It takes money and time to make a decision on the condition of a house. Home inspections can be highly subjective, and it's good to keep that in mind. Inspectors should present information in a matter-of-fact way without sugarcoating or alarming clients. The home inspection industry is changing with fresh eyes focusing on the consumer and real estate agent. Home inspectors should be able to explain what they do in 30 seconds or less. Home inspections don't require citing code, but common sense should be used.     [40:19 - 46:58] Team Training, Marketing, and Other Specific Details of House Inspection Pool inspections should be outsourced to a pool-specific inspector. Leak detection is included with pool inspection for $289. Small details, such as a door latch, can be life-changing. Marketing is done through Instagram, engaging with realtors, and sharing findings. Realtor relationships are maintained by keeping inspectors close to home and training them to be consistent. Quality control of inspection reports is done by reading each one.   [46:59 - 53:40] Horror Stories of New Home Construction Quality control person reads every report to ensure accuracy. Pre-listing inspections can be beneficial for older homes or those needing to sell quickly. Home inspections are the best money spent during a real estate transaction. Horror stories of new construction mistakes, such as incorrect piping and toilet distances. 35 miles per hour winds can blow shingles off if not properly installed.   [53:40 - 01:00:20] Avoid Costly Home Repairs with Comprehensive Home Inspection and Insurance Reports Mistakes in construction are common, even in brand-new homes. Home inspection services should include wind mitigation and four-point inspections. Infrared scans can detect moisture behind walls and other anomalies. An example of a costly mistake was a $3 million house with water leaking in for the first 3-4 years due to improper window flashing. Home inspections can help avoid costly mistakes.   [01:00:20 - 01:06:46] Uncovering the Red Flags: How to Spot Significant Issues During a Home Inspection The importance of getting a home inspection done before purchasing or selling a home. Difference between a basic home inspection and one that includes wind mitigation, four-point inspection, and infrared scan. How to stay up to date with industry regulations and standards. Red flags or warning signs that a home may have significant issues during an inspection. Testing every door and window for proper alignment.   [01:06:46 - 01:13:35] Avoiding Common Misconceptions of Home Inspections Codes are not part of home inspections. Things behind walls or underneath the ground are not included in a home inspection. Home inspectors should provide honesty and integrity when giving information to buyers. There are always things wrong with every house, so setting expectations is important. Agents should look at Google reviews when choosing a home inspector. Stop asking about the interest rate and cost of the home inspection.   [01:13:35 - 01:17:33] Join the Real Estate Excellence Community and Take Your Skills to the Next Level!

So, if you don't put every single thing in that inspection, the buyer's gonna call you out. We have to be incredibly thorough and always give it our all, no matter how big or small the deal is" -Kurt Stein "It's all about your people. You want to make sure that you're hiring the right people who have your ideology, your culture, and your focus.

With the high school football season set to kick off in Frederick County this week, Oakdale High School football coach Kurt Stein is the guest on the Final Score podcast. Stein chats with host Greg Swatek about his team this season, which he feels is as talented as any he has coached in his 13 years at Oakdale, including the 2018 state-championship team. He shares his feeling on why so many kids are playing football in Frederick County, including a record number at Oakdale High School, and what it will take for the Bears to be left standing as not just one of the best teams in the county, but one of the best teams in the state prior to the end of the season. First, though, FNP sports writers John Cannon and Alexander Dacy stop in to offer a comprehensive, team-by-team breakdown of the 10 public schools and two private schools that play football in Frederick County. Which teams will rise to the top? The guys share their thoughts and insights.

Kurt is a mathematician from Arkansas who is living and teaching in Maryland.  His social media posts have cracked me up over the years.  We talk a lot about races in his home state of Arkansas, particularly the Arkansas Traveller and the LOViT 100.  We spend some time exploring his journey this year to get stronger by working out using kettlebells, maces, clubs, and sandbags.

Not many can say they won two games in their first two seasons, and then say they won a state championship at the same school! Kurt Stein and his Oakdale makeover wasn't overnight. He is the first, and only, head coach in the history of the high school. The first two seasons were difficult but the kids showed resiliency, he built a great coaching staff, and the off season lifting program ratcheted up. That, and Kurt developed his "Ozone Offense." Coach details the variations of zone read that he was inspired by Rich Rodriguez and the glory days of West Virginia (shoutout to diehard Mountaineer fan and Maryland rep for eTS, Danny Ferry). Oakdale might not have Steve Slaton and pat White, but they rode the back of Collin Schlee to a 2018 2A Maryland state title. Coach gives us a detailed breakdown of how they did it, including his take on the "Lead Read Zone."

The Final Score podcast continues its look at the upcoming 2019 high school football season in Frederick County with this week's guest, Kurt Stein of Oakdale High School. The head coach of the Bears recalls his fondest memories from last season's unbeaten run to the Class 2A state championship with host Greg Swatek. He talks about how far the program has come since it was started from scratch in the fall of 2010 and what challenges lie ahead? Who will be the key players to watch this season? Will Oakdale adjust its style of play after losing 26 seniors to graduation? Have expectations changed at all? What are the feelings about the new nine-game regular season and the adjusted playoff format? Stein answers all of these questions and more on this week's episode.
