“Great leadership starts with great self-leadership” is a mantra that lies at the heart of the Do Good to Lead Well podcast. This is why I am thrilled to share this episode, where I welcome Margaret C. Andrews, a seasoned executive and leadership expert, who shares the intriguing backstory behind her book, Manage Yourself to Lead Others, which was inspired by a pivotal moment when she was told she lacked self-awareness. This experience led her to explore the vital connection between understanding oneself and effective, sustainable leadership.Listen in as we guide you through an enlightening exercise to reflect on the traits of your best boss, revealing that a remarkable 85% of these qualities fall under the realm of soft skills or emotional intelligence. Margaret and I address a listener's question on self-awareness, offering methods like 360-degree feedback to gain a clearer understanding of one's impact. The episode continues to explore the challenges of addressing self-awareness and providing constructive feedback, using the SBI (Situation, Behavior, Impact) model to enhance clarity and constructiveness. Our discussion invites you to reconsider what truly makes a great leader and the critical role of empathy and effective communication in leadership.Enhancing team dynamics is also a focal point of our conversation, with insights into creating personal user manuals and team charters to foster effective teamwork. Margaret shares strategies for transitioning from a subject matter expert to leading a team, emphasizing the importance of intentional leadership. We explore managing up with a boss who lacks self-awareness, highlighting self-care and mental health as crucial components of professional success. As we conclude, we underscore the importance of self-awareness in how we perceive our intentions versus how others feel our impacts, advocating for a mindful approach to leadership that balances transparency and resilience.What You'll Learn- The power and importance of self-awareness in effective leadership.- How to enhance emotional intelligence for better team dynamics.- Leveraging 360-feedback for professional development.- Techniques for delivering impactful and constructive feedback.- Ways to align intentions with actions to foster trust within a team.- Methods to build resilience in personal and professional settings.Podcast Timestamps(00:00) – Manage Yourself to Lead Others(09:48) – Soft Skills Are the Heart of Great Leadership(16:55) – Navigating Feedback Conversations to Build Self-Awareness(25:04) – Managing Up(38:37) – Share Your User Manual(42:22) – The Power of Team Charters(47:15) – Vulnerability and Building Resilience(56:16) – Intentions Versus Impacts KEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Self-Awareness, Emotional Intelligence, Team Dynamics, Feedback, Personal Growth, Communication, Resilience, Soft Skills, Mental Health, Vulnerability, Transparency, Leading with Intention, Fostering Collaboration, User Manuals, Team Charters, CEO Success

UPS is currently stuck between dropping parcel rates, rising union leverage, and stiff competition from their peers. Unlike their peers, UPS is unionized (part of the Teamsters), adding additional complexity and bottom-line pressure. Not one to give up after 120 years in business, UPS has been looking for creative ways to make ends meet without disappointing the public. They created a massive buyout opportunity for drivers and have been working with gig drivers to handle spikes in seasonal volume without paying expensive overtime. Both strategies are saving them money, but running afoul of the Teamsters in the process. In this episode of the Art of Supply podcast, Kelly Barner looks at UPS's challenges and the creative options they are trying in response: Leveraging gig drivers while warning against the danger of a loosely-managed final mile Introducing automation where they can, shutting warehouses where they can't Working to maintain a premium delivery service in a world dominated by low-cost eCommerce volume Links: Negotiating the Big One: UPS and the Teamsters Labor Union Kelly Barner on LinkedIn Art of Supply LinkedIn newsletter  Art of Supply on AOP Subscribe to This Week in Procurement

In this episode of HALO Talks, host Pete Moore catches up with good friend and industry veteran Rich Novelli, marking his second appearance on the show. With over 40 years in the HALO space, Rich shares how he's now turning his focus from traditional health clubs to the rapidly-growing world of corporate wellness. He discusses how his new platform, Alegria Wellness, leverages tech and personalized coaching to drive higher employee participation—especially in small and underserved businesses. Novelli explains why simply offering discounted gym memberships just isn't enough, how accountability and personal connection make all the difference, and what companies can do to create healthier, more engaged teams. Whether you're a business leader, HALO sector professional, or just passionate about corporate wellness programs, this conversation offers fresh ideas on boosting both individual and organizational performance. On empowering smaller businesses, Rich states, "I am targeting these smaller scale companies because that's where I feel the underserved market is at this point. It's getting with these small companies and really making a difference in an impact." Key themes discussed Growth of corporate wellness sector and market projections. Importance of personalized coaching for employee wellness. Challenges with low health club participation rates. Leveraging tech and apps for scalable wellness programs. Targeting underserved small businesses with wellness solutions. Team building and increased employee engagement through challenges. Removing barriers: Affordability, participation, and personalization. A Few Key Takeaways:  1.Corporate Wellness Is No Longer "Nice to Have"—It's Essential: Novelli highlights how the convergence of technology and corporate culture has pushed employee wellness from a "fringe" benefit to a strategic necessity. The sector is rapidly growing, with market projections to hit $25 billion in the next five years. 2. Small Businesses Are an Underserved Market: Most corporate wellness solutions target large organizations, but Rich is focusing on smaller companies (5–300 employees), arguing they need accessible, scalable wellness programs. His app-based platform, Alegria Wellness (powered by Nuvita), is designed specifically for this demographic. 3. Participation Is Key—And Personalized Coaching Drives It: Traditional health club memberships often yield low participation (only ~10%), but Novelli is aiming for 30–40% by leveraging both personalized coaching and tech. The program includes exercise, nutrition, stress management, socialization, and uses a blend of digital tools and personal touch to keep users engaged. 4: Team Building and Engagement Creates ROI: Wellness programs can be gamified for small teams, with six-week challenges that foster team spirit and healthy competition. These short-term commitments help boost engagement and can lead to growing participation rates, delivering meaningful ROI for employers beyond just health metrics. 5. Personalized, Hands-On Approach Removes Barriers: Rich stresses the need for tailored coaching and accountability, adapting to individual needs whether or not employees use a health club. His system also removes the heavy lifting for companies—providing marketing materials, analytics, and all necessary support—making wellness both affordable and easy to implement, especially for businesses without a dedicated HR department.  Resources:  Rich Novelli: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rich-novelli-4770856    Rich's First HALO Talks: https://www.halotalks.com/rich-novelli-highpoint-sport-wellness-general-manager/  Integrity Square: https://www.integritysq.com Prospect Wizard: https://www.theprospectwizard.com Promotion Vault: https://www.promotionvault.com HigherDose: https://www.higherdose.com

In this episode of Technology Reseller News' special series on Telco Days 2025, Doug Green speaks with Damian Mazurek, Chief Innovation Officer at Software Mind, about why the telecom industry is at a historic crossroads – and what it will take for telcos to move from commodity connectivity to AI-era value creators. Mazurek explains how rapid advances in AI, edge computing, LEO satellites and IoT are converging with generational change, especially Gen Z's preference for asynchronous, AI-enabled interactions. Traditional voice and human-to-human communication are giving way to data-driven, bot-mediated experiences. “The next generation will not even talk with us – their AI assistants will do it for them,” he notes, predicting a future where AI agents negotiate, schedule, buy, sell and resolve issues on behalf of human users. To avoid being trapped as low-margin bandwidth providers, Mazurek argues that telcos must evolve from telco to techco, building both an innovation culture and the cloud-native platforms needed to iterate at high speed. He outlines a three-layer framework for AI in the RAN – AI for the run, AI in the run and AI on the run – where AI improves network operations, monetizes unused capacity for AI workloads, and enables new services built on top of programmable, API-driven networks. Mazurek sees major opportunities in: Turning surplus network capacity and distributed edge infrastructure into an “AI grid” that hosts and accelerates AI workloads. Leveraging telco data and real-time APIs to power new services and revenue streams. Enabling sectors like agriculture, aquaculture and industrial automation with reliable connectivity, low latency and AI-ready infrastructure in previously hard-to-reach locations. Delivering proactive, AI-driven customer experiences that match Gen Z expectations for simplicity, personalization and immediacy. Ultimately, Mazurek believes telcos that embrace cloud-native transformation, programmable networks and AI-driven operations can do far more than survive the coming decade. “They can dominate the market and create new business value,” he says, by building the secure, trusted infrastructure that will underpin AI-to-AI communication at global scale.

Welcome to a transformative solo episode of Build a Better Agency! This week, host Drew McLellan invites listeners to reframe how they view uncertainty, chaos, and change in the agency world. Drawing from both scientific research and personal stories—including a gripping childhood encounter with real fear—Drew McLellan explores why agencies feel paralyzed by unpredictability, and more importantly, how leaders can move beyond fear to thrive in today's rapidly shifting landscape. Listeners will discover why uncertainty is baked into agency life, why our brains crave control, and why periods of upheaval—from economic turmoil and technological breakthroughs to social unrest—can actually be seen as fertile ground for growth and innovation. Drew McLellan champions the concept of a "perpetual renaissance," encouraging agency leaders to harness rather than resist continual change and to build their businesses on adaptability, creativity, and community. Throughout the episode, Drew McLellan underscores the power of belonging and reciprocal support, likening the AMI community to a network of redwoods—each agency strengthened by connection with others. He shares actionable advice on showing up as both a teacher and a student in industry salons, generously exchanging knowledge and resources so everyone thrives amid uncertainty. Insights from neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and agency research come together with practical wisdom to reveal how leading through chaos isn't about control, but about learning to ride the storm—together. Don't miss this deeply encouraging and practical episode, especially if you're looking for ways to put fear aside and become the agency clients seek out for guidance and innovation. By embracing the value of community and the inevitability of change, you'll gain a new perspective on how to master—and even enjoy—the wild ride ahead. Join the conversation, connect with the AMI salon, and help shape the future of your agency in 2026 and beyond. A big thank you to our podcast's presenting sponsor, White Label IQ.

Making It Happen: Lessons from Matt Price's Kitchen and Career Matt Price, known to millions as Mr. Make It Happen, is a celebrated chef, content creator, and entrepreneur whose viral cooking videos have redefined home cooking for a new generation. From humble beginnings in Richmond, Virginia, Matt climbed the corporate ladder at Capital One, but his lifelong passion for food led him to trade a thriving sales career for building a culinary and media brand. Through YouTube, Instagram, and his renowned DC restaurant, Fraiche, Matt inspires audiences to get creative in the kitchen while staying true to their roots. His signature style—blending authentic recipes, accessible teaching, and steady innovation—has made him a trusted voice for foodies and home cooks everywhere. Takeaways: Consistency and authenticity are key to building a successful brand in content creation—Matt's journey from corporate sales to viral chef proves that mastery and staying true to your voice triumphs over trendy attempts to go viral. Leveraging today's low barriers to entry, anyone can start building impactful video content with just a smartphone, but real success comes from intentionality, persistence, and a willingness to learn from failure. In both business and creativity, doubling down on your strengths and surrounding yourself with the right team is far more effective than trying to do it all—hire for your weaknesses, focus on your unique gifts, and always be ready to pivot. Sound Bytes: "If you're going to do it, start now, because the barrier for entry today is as low as it's ever been. All you need is an iPhone." "I'd rather have one or two people that say, 'it wasn't for me,' but the rest absolutely love it and rave about it, than everyone just think it was cool." "I just take the time to really learn it. You can't really teach something you're not proficient at."

Nick welcomes media expert Omar Hamdi from Dubai to discuss the evolving landscape of media coverage, publicity, and public relations.  With a rich background in traditional media and a passion for technology, Omar shares insights on how businesses of all sizes can leverage media tech to enhance their visibility and authority. The conversation delves into the importance of strategic intent behind media engagement, the role of verification in building trust, and the complementary relationship between personal branding and media coverage KEY TAKEAWAYS Before engaging with media, it's crucial to define the purpose of the PR efforts. Understanding what you want to achieve and who you want to reach can significantly enhance the effectiveness of media coverage. The landscape of media has evolved with technology, allowing businesses of all sizes to access PR opportunities. Utilising media tech can streamline the process of matching stories with the right publishers, making PR more accessible. Leveraging media coverage can enhance a business's authority and credibility. When reputable publications endorse a brand, it adds a layer of trust that can influence potential customers' decisions. Consistency in media engagement and content creation is essential. Building a brand's presence takes time, and results may not be immediate. It's important to trust the process and remain committed to long-term strategies. BEST MOMENTS "If you use technology in the right way, you can make PR accessible to businesses of every size." "The point of the media is in the verification... That's why it's such a letdown when... an esteemed organisation like the BBC edits an interview." "You need to be doing multiple things. You need to be leveraging the sources that align with what your goals are." "The biggest mistake is doing it without any of those things, not knowing why you're engaging with the media."

Looking in the mirror and not recognizing your body anymore? Despite eating well and staying active, your body keeps changing in ways that feel beyond your control. Your jeans don't fit, your belly feels thicker, and your old fitness routine just isn't working.In this episode of Pleasure in the Pause, host Gabriella Espinosa talks with menopause fitness specialist Megan Dahlman about what's really happening to your body during perimenopause and menopause—and what you can actually do about it. Learn practical, science-backed strategies to build strength, improve body composition, and feel confident in your changing body.In her 17 years of professional training, Megan Dahlman has become the sought-after trainer for women over 40 who want to be strong and live a long, healthy life. Leveraging a degree in Exercise Science and certification as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), she has an uncanny ability to make fitness and nutrition simple, doable, and, most importantly, sustainable. No fad diets or trendy gadgets required!! Through her weekly newsletter, top-ranked podcast, and popular online training programs and courses, her mission is to help every woman in midlife (and beyond) feel strong, pain-free, and confident in all aspects of her body.Highlights from our discussion include:Understanding body composition: It's not just about the scale—learn the difference between lean mass (muscle, bone, organs) and fat mass, and why muscle matters more than ever in midlife.Visceral vs. subcutaneous fat: Menopausal women store more dangerous visceral fat around organs due to declining estrogen, which explains belly weight gain even without scale changes.Muscle is your superpower: Building muscle improves metabolism, bone density, hormone regulation, and energy. Make strength training your primary focus and other health goals will follow.Know your metabolic body type: Understanding if you're an ectomorph, mesomorph, or endomorph helps you set realistic expectations and train effectively for your unique body.Three essential exercises: Do these anywhere—squats (10 reps), countertop push-ups (10 reps), and planks (hold for 3-5 deep breaths).Hormones matter: Declining estrogen disrupts cortisol and insulin regulation. Manage stress daily through walks, breathwork, and rest.Break the all-or-nothing cycle: Stop swinging between extreme restriction and giving up. Ask daily: "What can I do today?"It's not too late: Your body can still build strength and improve at any age, regardless of your starting point.This week, choose ONE movement that feels good in your body and do it daily—not as punishment, but as an act of self-care.CONNECT WITH MEGAN DAHLMER:InstagramWebsitePodcastBody Type QuizCONNECT WITH GABRIELLA ESPINOSA:InstagramLinkedInWork with GabrielGo to https://www.gabriellaespinosa.com/ to book a call.Full episodes on YouTube.

When you enter a conflict trying to win, Deepak Chopra says you've already lost.“We can resolve any conflict,” says Dr. Deepak Chopra. All it takes is what he calls “conscious communication.”Chopra is a physician, a leading authority on integrative wellbeing, and the author of over 97 books. His “conscious communication” approach puts presence at the center of all meaningful interactions — bringing together attention, affection, appreciation, and acceptance. When applied to conflicts, his approach turns adversaries into collaborators, leading to what he calls "spiritual solutions" where diverse perspectives and problem-solving lead to better outcomes for all. “We can come up with a creative solution for any adversity,” he says. “All we want is the best outcome for everyone.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Chopra and host Matt Abrahams explore how presence transforms our interactions, why intentions enable us to accomplish more with less effort, and helpful questions to guide difficult conversations. Whether navigating conflict in our professional or personal lives, Chopra's insights show why the best resolutions come when we stop trying to be right and start trying to understand.Episode Reference Links:Deepak ChopraDeepak Chopra AIEp.138 Speak Your Truth: Why Authenticity Leads to Better Communication Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:29) - The Power of Presence (04:15) - Reframing Conflict (10:25) - The Role of Intention (12:25) - DeepakChopra.ai Explained (14:27) - The Final Three Question (19:10) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.

Dr. Jure Leskovec is the Chief Scientist at Kumo.AI and a Stanford professor, working on relational foundation models and graph-transformer systems that bring enterprise databases into the foundation-model era.Relational Foundation Models: Unlocking the Next Frontier of Enterprise AI // MLOps Podcast #348 with Jure Leskovec, Professor and Chief Scientist, Stanford University and Kumo.AI.Join the Community: https://go.mlops.community/YTJoinInGet the newsletter: https://go.mlops.community/YTNewsletter// AbstractToday's foundation models excel at text and images—but they miss the relationships that define how the world works. In every enterprise, value emerges from connections: customers to products, suppliers to shipments, molecules to targets. This talk introduces Relational Foundation Models (RFMs)—a new class of models that reason over interactions, not just data points. Drawing on advances in graph neural networks and large-scale ML systems, I'll show how RFMs capture structure, enable richer reasoning, and deliver measurable business impact. Audience will learn where relational modeling drives the biggest wins, how to build the data backbone for it, and how to operationalize these models responsibly and at scale.// BioJure Leskovec is the co-founder of Kumo.AI, an enterprise AI company pioneering AI foundation models that can reason over structured business data. He is also a Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University and a leading researcher in artificial intelligence, best known for pioneering Graph Neural Networks and creating PyG, the most widely used graph learning toolkit. Previously, Jure served as Chief Scientist at Pinterest and as an investigator at the Chan Zuckerberg BioHub. His research has been widely adopted in industry and government, powering applications at companies such as Meta, Uber, YouTube, Amazon, and more.

Chad Dime, Co-Founder of DIFF Charitable Eyewear was raised in Los Angeles California. He was born into the eyewear industry thanks to his father who owned and operated an eyewear business for over 40 years. His dad passed down the knowledge of product design, import, manufacturing and wholesale to him throughout his entire life. On the manufacturing side, he was traveling to China by the time he was 15 years old to learn the ins and outs of what it takes to work with partners overseas. In wholesale he was attending major markets as a teenager to learn the ins and outs of what it takes to sell to major retailers both nationally and internationally. He was fortunate enough to know at that very young that he would be following in his family's footsteps. While attending college at San Diego State University he was the President of the nationally ranked SDSU Surf Team. His role there allowed him to work with many notable brands like Red Bull, Rip Curl and TOMS as he obtained sponsorship from each of these businesses. After years of building campus rep programs with these brands he learned the importance of both social media marketing along with social enterprise. The partnership with TOMS shoes was his motivation to build a business that gave back, and it became his dream to start a sunglasses brand that could help change the world. After graduating from SDSU he met his business partners. Together they began selling sunglasses at electronic music festivals across the country. It was here that they realized there was a massive void in the eyewear industry that they knew they could fill. Eager to disrupt the monopolized eyewear industry they founded DIFF with a mission to create affordable designer eyewear that gives back. In This Conversation We Discuss:[00:00] Intro[00:50] Blending value and mission to drive impact[04:00] Partnering purpose with product[06:09] Leveraging past experiences for team balance[08:56] Nurturing partnerships for smarter growth[11:44] Stay updated with new episodes[11:55] Embedding responsibility into brand DNA[14:11] Sponsors[19:43] Influencer partnerships for early marketing strategy[22:54] Prioritizing finance to avoid early pitfalls[24:57] Understanding finances for loss prevention[26:06] Highlighting first products for brick and mortar[28:42] Following your why to create impactResources:Subscribe to Honest Ecommerce on Youtube www.youtube.com/c/HonestEcommerce?sub_confirmation=1Charitable designer sunglasses that give back www.diffeyewear.com/Follow Chad Dime www.linkedin.com/in/chad-dime-59550258Schedule an intro call with one of our experts electriceye.io/connectReach your best audience at the lowest cost! discover.taboola.com/honest/Easy, affordable coverage that grows with your business www.nextinsurance.com/honest/  Turn your domestic business into an international business www.freightright.com/honestIf you're enjoying the show, we'd love it if you left Honest Ecommerce a review on Apple Podcasts.

Despite evidence that adverse drug events manifest with greater severity in pediatric populations than in adults, fewer than 50% of drugs have been systematically studied for pediatric use. The lack of robust drug safety data may result in suboptimal or harmful treatment strategies. Saurabh Rahurkar and Pallavi Jonnalagadda share their team's efforts to address this issue. This podcast and article specifically address the use of benzonatate in pediatric patients.

In this deeply personal tribute episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog reflect on the legacy and lessons of Adrian Ulsh, Karl's business partner and "big brother" of 17 years, who recently passed away. They discuss the principles, temperament, and business philosophies that defined Adrian's impact on their company, their clients, and the entire coaching industry. Karl shares invaluable insights into the operating system Adrian helped create, actionable strategies for growing and coaching small businesses, and practical approaches to prospecting and retention—all inspired by Adrian's stoic focus and unwavering dedication. Key Topics Covered The Legacy and Principles of Adrian Ulsh Karl Bryan shares heartfelt stories about Adrian Ulsh's influence, describing Adrian as the true "man, myth, legend" and the stabilizing force behind their partnership. Family first: Adrian's definition encompassed team members, clients, and the broader community. Wild loyalty, consistency, and frugality as core values that drove business and personal success. Building and Installing a Business Operating System The "Jumpstart 12" framework: Twelve core areas for incremental business improvement and profit acceleration. How small, strategic changes (2-5% gains in multiple areas) compound to produce powerful growth. The importance of standards over goals and repeating proven stories for impact. Real-World Example: Coaching a Landscaping Business Step-by-step, Karl details how Adrian would apply the Jumpstart 12: controlling costs, defining a market-dominating position, bundling services, creating compelling offers, joint ventures, upselling, and cross-selling. Emphasis on practical, low-friction implementation—no magic pills, expensive hires, or complicated training. The Magic of Incremental and Compounding Growth Why professionals focus on what could go wrong, systematize improvements, and avoid "hopium." Operating by numbers: using math and real metrics, not emotions or wishful thinking, to guide decisions. Client Prospecting and Scripting Mastery Adrian's approach to outreach: short, personalized, authority-driven messages sent consistently. Leveraging connections (Chamber, BNI, local hangouts), offering value, and asking for opinions to initiate real conversations. The importance of sending multiple messages daily, not expecting instant results, and using results—not emotions—as a barometer. Notable Quotes "He didn't have goals. He had standards. Create standards for yourself." — Karl Bryan "You want to build a great company, you want to build a great product—consistency and focus over talent all day long and twice on Sunday." — Karl Bryan "Don't get too up. Don't get too down… Warren Buffett doesn't walk into a boardroom all hopped up on hopium." — Karl Bryan "Send it out 50 times a day. If you want results, don't just do it once." — Karl Bryan (on outreach) Actionable Takeaways Focus on Incremental Improvements: Apply the Jumpstart 12 framework and aim for small (2-5%) gains across multiple business areas to produce exponential results. Systematize Everything: Build clear standards, document your operating process, and repeat proven stories and tactics for better client outcomes. Be Relentlessly Consistent: Don't chase perfection or get lost behind the screen—take steady, focused action daily on outreach and client delivery. Eliminate Distractions: Legendary business success comes from eliminating everything except your one core focus—whether it's live events, lead generation, or client retention. Outreach with Authority and Value: Use short, confident messages that reference known connections or groups. Focus on ideas and feedback to open doors. Let Results Be the Guide: Track progress by cash in the bank, referrals, and new clients—not emotions or subjective feedback. Serve the Fat Middle: Target the mass market of SMB "newbies," not just the 4% of $1M+ businesses, for scalable growth and reduced risk.

The Trump Administration's U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is shifting its enforcement approach from aggressive actions to more cooperative mechanisms, such as compliance assistance programs and voluntary self-disclosure. For regulated industries such as manufacturing, heavy industry, and mineral extraction, this creates an opportunity to strengthen compliance while reducing enforcement risk. EPA's long-standing Audit Policy offers significant benefits, ranging from elimination or reduction of civil penalties to tailored incentives for new owners and clearer correction timelines. Successfully leveraging the policy, however, requires careful planning, strategic decisions on disclosure, and an understanding of potential risks. Co-hosted by Kelley Drye and Fehr Graham, this podcast version of the webinar features Kelley Drye Partners Wayne D'Angelo and Joseph Green and Fehr Graham's Matt Schroeder, EHS Practice Lead. Together, they share practical guidance on how companies can use EPA's Audit Policy to manage compliance obligations, mitigate penalties, and minimize enforcement exposure. Theyvexplore: - Recent policy shifts at EPA under the Trump Administration and their implications for regulated industries - The benefits of EPA's Audit Policy and the New Owner Audit Policy - Key considerations and potential risks when undertaking audits and disclosures - Practical tips to preserve privilege and maximize penalty mitigation - Insights into EPA's coordination with state agencies and how that impacts disclosure decisions To view the slide deck, click here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.kelleydrye.com/content/uploads/Environmental-Auditing-and-Penalty-Mitigation_Leveraging-EPAs-Audit-Policy-Under-the-Trump-Administration.pdf To view the full Zoom recording of the wfebinar, click here: https://vimeo.com/1129965500/6bac9e3b70?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci

Hill country presents some of the most complex challenges in whitetail habitat design. Between steep ridges, narrow benches, rugged drainages, and unpredictable access, many landowners struggle to crack the hill country code. In Part 2 of our Habitat Design Breakdown Series, we analyze a hill country parcel and show how to create high-odds hunting opportunities—even when most bedding is on the neighbors. We cover: • When inside-out access is the only workable solution • How deer use ridge lines, drainage tops, and side-cover to travel • Leveraging neighboring pressure and habitat to your advantage • Turning open hilltops into usable structure and predictable movement • Building bulletproof pinch-point setups using terrain, waterholes, and mock scrapes • Why stand burnout is the #1 issue on small hill country parcels • How to hunt hill country in seasons, not stand locations Hill country is challenging, but when you design around deer movement, not property boundaries, you can create some incredibly consistent hunting.
