Podcasts about Maintaining

Scaling an advisory firm is often framed as a tradeoff - more clients and complexity in exchange for less time and flexibility. This episode explores how advisors can grow in a way that protects the lifestyle they want. Andy Panko is the owner of Tenon Financial, an RIA based in Metuchen, New Jersey, that oversees $323 million in assets under management for 105 client households. He joins the show today to share why he chose to hire two additional advisors (even though his solo practice already met his lifestyle goals), as well as why he prioritized hiring mid-career professionals who could operate independently and stay for the long haul. We also discuss how his flat-fee model makes it easier to evaluate the time-and-revenue tradeoffs of adding clients, paying competitive salaries, and growing the team, as well as how he fuels a steady prospect flow through content creation, combats the loneliness of a small remote firm, and has adjusted his workload across seasons of life to be able to focus on his highest priorities.

Travis Chappell delivers a solo masterclass on building a powerful personal brand and network using his proprietary ACT method (Attention, Credibility, Trust), drawn from over 1,600 podcast episodes, hundreds of books, and years of real-world experience in content creation and online marketing. On this episode we talk about: The ACT framework: A = Attention, C = Credibility, T = Trust—and why trust equals transactions. How Travis engineered his own Forbes feature by interviewing the author and networking strategically. Why "best known beats best" and attention is the foundation where money flows every time. Building credibility through high-profile associations (like big-name podcast guests) over one-off media mentions. Maintaining trust by overdelivering on every sale, even small ones, to boost lifetime customer value. Top 3 Takeaways 1. Get attention first—post content relentlessly because every post is a lottery ticket that could explode your reach. 2. Credibility comes from associating with known experts; it's harder than media hits but moves the needle more. 3. Trust must be continually earned through overdelivery, since one bad experience can kill repeat business forever. Notable Quotes "If you're an online marketer and you're not coming up with methods and cool acronyms, then you're not really a marketer." "Best known beats best. You're the best kept secret in your field... but nobody knows that you exist." "Where there's attention, that's where money goes. Attention is where the money flows. 100% of the time." "Every post is a lottery ticket. You never know what's going to be the thing that actually takes off." "The question you should be asking yourself is not does this convert? But does this continue to earn me trust?"

Most people spend significant time planning how to build wealth, but far fewer consider how their family would access that wealth if something unexpected happened. For Americans living in Israel who maintain U.S. brokerage or retirement accounts, that question can be more complex than it appears. The challenge usually involves authority, documentation, and cross-border procedures. From the outside, U.S. accounts often appear unchanged after someone relocates to Israel. Statements arrive, online access continues, and the accounts seem stable. That familiarity can create comfort, but it can also hide administrative challenges that surface during estate transitions. When inheritance meets two legal systems Inheritance is often assumed to be simple. A relative passes away, assets transfer to heirs, and accounts continue under new ownership. Cross-border estates rarely follow that pattern. Consider a common situation. A son lives in Israel while his parent maintains brokerage accounts in the United States. The parent passes away and the will names the son as the heir.  From the son's perspective, the next step seems straightforward. Notify the financial institution, submit documentation, and transfer the accounts. Instead, access to the accounts often stops immediately after the parent's death. Financial institutions typically freeze accounts once they receive notification. This step protects assets and ensures that only properly authorized individuals can act. At that point, the focus shifts from who should inherit the assets to who has legal authority to act on behalf of the estate. That distinction frequently creates confusion. Family expectations often rely on intent. Legal systems rely on documentation and verification. When required paperwork is incomplete or delayed, inheritance can slow significantly. Beneficiary designations and wills Many retirement and brokerage accounts use beneficiary designations on their retirement accounts. When completed correctly and kept current, they normally allow assets to transfer directly to heirs without probate. Financial institutions still require verification before releasing assets. But regular brokerage accounts don't usually have the possibility of a beneficiary designation. "What about transfer-on-death accounts (TOD)?" you might ask. If the account owner and heirs all live in the United States, that might work, but for people who live overseas, the TOD may not work and the brokerage firms may require a probated will. Probate is the court-supervised process that confirms who has legal authority to inherit assets. Depending on jurisdiction and estate complexity, it can take considerable time and delay account access. Power of attorney can create misunderstandings. While it may allow someone to manage accounts during a person's lifetime, that authority generally ends at death. Even if a family member previously helped manage accounts, that control disappears once the account holder passes away. Online account logins do not replace legal authority and continued use after death can create additional complications. Additional documentation cross-border families often face Cross-border inheritance frequently introduces procedural steps that families do not anticipate. Documents may require notarization, apostilles, or translation. Financial institutions may request tax clearance before releasing assets. Communication often involves multiple time zones and unfamiliar regulatory processes. Each requirement exists for protective and regulatory reasons. Financial institutions must verify identity, confirm authority, and comply with legal obligations. For families managing responsibilities from another country, the administrative process can still feel overwhelming. Many individuals assume that having a will resolves these challenges. A will remains an important estate planning document, but it functions within the legal system where it was created. When heirs live abroad, additional validation steps may still be required. Why inheritance paperwork often continues after assets transfer Inheritance rarely ends when accounts transfer. It often unfolds in stages that may include estate administration, account restructuring, and tax considerations across multiple countries. In the United States, estate taxes may apply depending on estate size and applicable thresholds. In Israel, receiving inherited assets may create reporting obligations depending on the circumstances. If inherited investments are later sold, capital gains rules in one or both countries may apply. Retirement accounts such as IRAs can introduce further complexity. Required minimum distributions may create ongoing reporting responsibilities and potential taxable events based on the heir's individual situation. This article is intended for educational purposes only and should not be considered financial, legal, or tax advice. Each situation involves unique factors and should be reviewed with qualified professionals. Planning that may help reduce future delays Cross-border estate planning does not eliminate complexity, but it can reduce uncertainty and help coordinate financial, legal, and administrative processes. Families who experience smoother inheritance transitions often share several habits. They periodically review beneficiary designations to confirm they reflect current intentions. They maintain organized records of accounts, financial institutions, and contact details. They revisit estate planning documents after relocating to Israel to confirm the structure remains effective. When planning evolves alongside life changes, families often encounter fewer unexpected administrative obstacles. Practical steps that may improve preparedness Americans living in Israel who maintain U.S. investment accounts may benefit from several foundational steps. Maintaining a consolidated list of accounts can help family members identify financial institutions and contact details if needed. Reviewing beneficiary designations can help confirm retirement accounts align with estate planning goals. Discussing financial account access with family members may help clarify who should contact financial institutions and which documentation may be required. These steps do not eliminate every challenge, but they may reduce uncertainty and help families navigate complex situations more effectively.

After 35+ years of closing deals across industries, Corey Kupfer shares the practical strategies that separate deals that close from deals that die in the final stretch. This remastered solocast from the early days of DealQuest delivers timeless advice on getting deals across the finish line. In this solocast episode of the DealQuest Podcast, host Corey Kupfer breaks down the critical factors that determine whether your deal actually closes or falls apart at the last minute. Drawing from decades of experience as an M&A attorney, entrepreneur, and dealmaker, Corey addresses the mental traps, preparation gaps, and emotional triggers that derail otherwise successful transactions. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: In this episode, you'll discover why mentally closing a deal before it actually closes is the biggest mistake dealmakers make, and how "spending the money in your mind" sabotages your focus and negotiating position. Corey explains the concept of pre-due diligence and why preparation before the LOI stage prevents deals from falling apart during buyer scrutiny. You'll learn how to identify your true bottom line and get total clarity on what's acceptable and what's not. The episode covers how ego and emotional attachment blow deals that would otherwise succeed, the strategic balance of bringing in key stakeholders while maintaining confidentiality, and how to keep deal momentum alive through consistent engagement with your professional team. WHY DEALS DIE: Most deals don't fall apart because of bad terms or major due diligence discoveries. They fall apart because someone mentally checked out too early. The moment you sign the LOI and start treating the deal as done, you stop focusing on the critical work still required. You stop keeping your due diligence clean. You stop maintaining pace. You stop staying hungry for the close. The other side senses this shift, issues arise that could have been managed, and momentum dies. PRE-DUE DILIGENCE PREPARATION: One of the best ways to ensure deals close is preparation that happens before negotiations even heat up. If you're selling your company, experienced advisors know what buyers will examine. If you're raising capital, they know what investors will scrutinize. The goal is to be fully prepared and looking great before their team starts asking questions. Many deals fall apart during due diligence because sellers haven't done this preparation work. When there's smoke, buyers think there's fire. One issue makes them worry about ten others they haven't found yet. TRUE BOTTOM LINE CLARITY: This connects to a fundamental negotiating principle from Corey's Authentic Negotiating book. You need total clarity on exactly what's acceptable and what's not acceptable to you. When things shift unexpectedly, whether the economy changes, due diligence reveals issues, a key employee leaves, or you lose a major client, that foundation of clarity determines whether you navigate the disruption or let it derail everything. If you don't know your true bottom line, these disruptions can easily prevent you from ever reaching closing. MANAGING EGO AND ATTACHMENT: As deals progress, watch for ego and emotional attachment on both sides. When the other party raises issues close to closing, you need clarity to analyze whether those issues actually matter versus reacting because you feel triggered. Sometimes people blow deals not because the terms became unacceptable, but because they got tired, frustrated, or insulted. Don't let triggering emotions destroy a deal that could be very good or lucrative for you. STAKEHOLDER ALIGNMENT: Deals can fail at the last minute because the principals assume alignment that doesn't exist. They go to key employees, minority owners, or investors expecting buy-in and discover it isn't there. The balance between confidentiality and getting necessary stakeholder alignment requires strategic thinking. Especially if you're selling your company, you have to weigh not being seen as "in play" on the marketplace and not having employees get spooked against the risk of bringing key folks in too late. MAINTAINING MOMENTUM: Work closely with your team and professionals to keep the pace of the deal moving forward. Deals die when people lose interest or momentum simply fades. Consistent engagement, timely responses to information requests, and staying available to work through inevitable issues keeps deals on track. Perfect for business owners preparing to sell, executives pursuing acquisitions, entrepreneurs raising capital, and anyone involved in transactions who wants to understand why deals succeed or fail in the final stretch.

In this episode, Helen and I unpack the uncomfortable truth about manipulation in coaching and personal growth. From authority claims and social proof to trauma bonding, love bombing, and cult-like dynamics, we explore how influence can quietly become coercion. We look at red flags - dependency on the teacher, blocked disagreement, emotional state manipulation, endless upselling - and also the subtler traps like vague language, borrowed authority, and identity-based pressure. We also talk about green flags: teachers who evolve, encourage challenge, build self-trust, and genuinely want students to outgrow them. This isn't about attacking the coaching industry - we're part of it. It's about discernment. Whether you're a coach, leader, or client, this conversation will help you spot unhealthy dynamics and build integrity into your work.

This week I discuss player best practices presented in the Daggerheart core book. Keeping these in mind will enhance any tabletop RPG you play, not just Daggerheart. The first, and I'd say fundamental, best practice is to embrace danger. At the heart of this and the other best practices is to choose the interesting choice, the choice that makes a better story, not necessarily the optimal or most tactical or strategic choice. We don't “win” at these games by always succeeding, never failing. We win by creating an awesome story together. A story where the PCs always succeed is a pretty boring story. The key to making this all work at your table is to establish and maintain trust among the GM and players. And a big part of building and maintaining that trust is how you handle PC death at your table. Daggerheart has some really great guidelines for all of this.

Is cancer prevention really about destroying abnormal cells — or restoring immune surveillance before disease ever develops? In this Part Two deep dive, Coach Debbie Potts explores the emerging paradigm shift in longevity medicine: enhancing Natural Killer (NK) cell intelligence and activated NK cell–derived exosomes to support immune rejuvenation, reduce senescent "zombie" cells, and protect long-term health. If you're 45–60 and doing everything "right" but feeling inflamed, slower to recover, or less resilient, this episode will help you understand why immune precision matters — and why advanced regenerative tools must be layered in the right order. In this episode, you'll learn: • What Natural Killer (NK) cells actually do in daily immune surveillance • What "zombie cells" (senescent cells) are and how they accelerate aging • How NK cells help clear damaged and dysfunctional cells • What activated NK cell exosomes are — and how they function as immune signaling amplifiers • The potential anti-aging and healthspan benefits of improving immune precision • Why immune rejuvenation is about restoring intelligence, not boosting indiscriminately • When advanced regenerative therapies make sense — and when they don't Anti-aging is not about reversing time. It's about preserving adaptive capacity. For high performers, that means: Maintaining muscle. Preserving metabolic flexibility. Protecting cognitive function. Supporting immune intelligence. Not pushing harder — but sequencing smarter. Because advanced therapies are not first-line. They are precision amplifiers once the terrain is ready. Safety first. Then flow. Then rebuild capacity.

In the third episode of the West Memphis 3 series on "No Way, Jose!", host Jose Galison teams up again with Jacob from the Rise to Liberty podcast for "NWJ757- Pt 3 of Who TF are the West Memphis 3? w/Jacob of Rise to Liberty". This installment shifts focus to the non-physical evidence that played a central role in the investigation and trials following the 1993 murders of three young boys in West Memphis, Arkansas. Jose and Jacob unpack the collection of witness statements, community reports, suspect interviews, and other testimonies that surfaced, illustrating how these elements turned suspicion toward Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley, and Jason Baldwin and helped form the backbone of the prosecution's case.Maintaining their skeptical lens, the hosts dig into the often inconsistent, secondhand, or hearsay-driven nature of these accounts—from local tips and overheard remarks to recollections from people tied to the events—and question how heavily they weighed in the convictions. Rather than accepting the common exoneration narrative without scrutiny, this episode pushes listeners to examine the intangible factors that shaped the outcome and why the case remains so divisive. Another compelling step in the series for true crime listeners who want to explore the less concrete but highly influential aspects of one of the most debated mysteries out there.Please consider supporting my work-Patreon- https://www.patreon.com/nowayjose2020Only costs $2/month and will get you access to episodes earlier than the publicNo Way, Jose!

Guard your progress and stay vigilant against distractions and negative influences. Maintaining momentum is harder than building it. The podcast stresses the importance of guarding one's heart and mind against negative influences.

Jim Peeler lives in Hickory, a small city in North Carolina's foothills. He and his wife, Diana, have two adult children who both live in the mountains of western NC, and one grandson. Jim is a financial controller for a logistics company.Jim has just passed his two-year anniversary of fasting on February 1, 2026. This past year, Jim has completed his first year of maintenance and offers great insight in this episode. Now 65 years old, Jim has struggled with weight issues at least since the 5th grade of elementary school, at theage of ten. He has lost hundreds of pounds over the years, using various methods, but has always regained even more once the diet ended. The hope is that intermittent fasting will hold the key to finally losing significant weight for good. Looking back, Jim realises that over his life he had reached a tipping point roughly every 10 years that prompted him to start a serious weight-loss attempt, with numerous attempts in between that never lasted very long. Jim was successful at losing weight in these serious attempts, shedding more and more pounds each time, but the diet rollercoaster led him to heavier weights with each try until he reached a maximum weight of 245 pounds in late 2018. And at only 5 feet, 4 inches, he was seriously morbidly obese. Through 2019 and 2020, he successfully reached150 pounds through calorie reduction and walking, but by 2024, he had once again risen to 215 pounds following a job change and the loss of his mother, among other stressful situations. He had heard of intermittent fasting some time before, but had never seriously considered it until he decided to give it a try in February 2024. Since then, he has lived a fasting lifestyle and is on the path to long-term maintenance, thanks to intermittent fasting. Graeme's Links to connect with me directly. Come and Join Our Patreon Community At the Link Belowwww.patreon.com/thefastinghighway.Come for a month or stay for a year, check it out, and get all the content.

In this episode, we are joined by Cliff Pittman, Coaching Development Director for CTS.  We take a practical look at VO₂ max and what it really means for everyday runners. We explore whether this popular performance metric is truly essential, how much it matters for trail and ultra athletes, and where it can be misunderstood or overemphasized. The conversation cuts through the numbers to focus on what actually helps runners train smarter, stay healthy, and improve long-term performance. If you've ever wondered whether your VO₂ max score is a guiding light or just another shiny data point, this episode brings clarity and perspective from the trail.  Key Topics What is VO2 max and why does it matter for ultra runners? The accuracy and limitations of wearable VO2 max estimates How VO2 max relates to performance, aging, and training adaptability The concept of fractional utilization versus maximum effort Strategies for incorporating VO2 max training into your season Cross-training options like cycling and swimming for low-impact VO2 max work Monitoring progress with lab versus field testing and subjective feedback The importance of training variety and maintaining the entire aerobic engine Practical workout templates: intervals, recovery, and dosage over seasons How strength training and muscle mass influence VO2 max Get the  "1 > 0" running hat HERE.

Lula rebuilt property maintenance from the ground up by solving a fundamental problem: property managers spend 40% of their time coordinating maintenance with zero visibility into work order status. After pivoting from a B2C app when they discovered landlords were their actual users, Bo Lais and his team made a critical insight—deep PMS integration wasn't a feature, it was the entire go-to-market strategy. Today, Lula's 9,000-contractor network processes 1,000 work orders daily across 50 markets, performing 30 HVAC replacements per day at scale that enables direct manufacturer relationships. Now they're commercializing their internal tech stack as Foresight, a standalone SaaS platform launching Q1. In this episode of BUILDERS, Bo breaks down the strategic decisions behind building integrations as distribution, using network density to create pricing advantages competitors can't match, and knowing when to productize your internal tools. Topics Discussed: Why the B2C to B2B pivot happened after discovering usage patterns, not market research How PMS integration eliminated "swivel chair" friction and became the primary distribution channel Strategic partnership depth over breadth: enabling co-selling with AppFolio, Buildium, Yardi rather than partner proliferation The 250-door threshold where maintenance coordination breaks and technology becomes necessary Network density economics: 30 daily HVAC replacements creating leverage for direct manufacturer negotiations and flat-rate service catalogs The decision framework for commercializing Foresight based on upstream customer advisory group feedback Maintaining discipline around ICP when sales teams naturally want to expand GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: System of record integration is your distribution strategy, not a feature: Lula's standalone app created adoption friction because property managers refused to work outside their PMS. Bo's realization: "They need everything to live in their system of record...They don't want swivel chair. And then providing that real time visibility throughout the entire life cycle of the work order was really valuable because prior to that they assign it to a vendor, and then they cross their fingers and hope that it gets done." The integration solved both adoption friction and delivered continuous visibility their workflow demanded. For B2B founders: if your users live in Salesforce, HubSpot, or vertical-specific platforms all day, your integration strategy IS your distribution strategy—build there first, not alongside. Strategic partnerships require enablement infrastructure, not just signed contracts: Bo's approach rejects partnership sprawl: "It's not about stacking on another 10 partnerships, it's about how do we go deeper and enable those partners to co-sell with us and talk about the value props that together we can provide." This means building co-selling toolkits, joint value propositions, and partner success metrics. For B2B founders: one partnership where the partner's sales team actively sells your solution beats ten partnerships where you're just listed in a marketplace. Invest in making partners successful sellers, not collecting logos. ICP discipline requires sales team enforcement mechanisms, not just definitions: Lula knew their ICP but struggled with execution. Bo learned "it's one thing when we understood who our ICP was, but then it's a whole nother thing to adhere to that and get the sales team to adhere to that ICP." The specificity matters: residential (not multifamily), single-family, 250+ doors (where coordination breaks), capped at several thousand doors (before enterprise needs diverge). For B2B founders: document your ICP, but also build the compensation structures, deal approval processes, and CRM workflows that prevent sales from chasing deals outside the sweet spot—even when quota pressure hits. Message outcomes customers measure, not the technology delivering them: Bo's AI framing: "They care about the outcomes, right? If we're able to move the needle on the outcomes and provide a better experience for residents by automating communication, automating the time to schedule, automating the time to get resolution...it's not the how, it's the result." Lula's AI eliminates truck rolls through upfront troubleshooting and improves one-trip resolution rates—that's what property managers track. For B2B founders: if your customer's boss asks "how's that new tool working," they answer with metrics they're held accountable for (resolution time, truck rolls, resident satisfaction), not "it uses AI." Lead with those metrics. Productize internal tools when customer advisory groups request them and you have defensible advantages: Lula commercialized Foresight after upstream customers specifically asked for their tech during advisory sessions. Bo's competitive moat thinking: "Everyone else thinks they're going to do it better with the AI and automation they have. But our competitive moat is that our on-demand network is built inside this AI work order management system. And because of the scale of our network and the buying power, we can provide instant quotes for a lot of services...our competitors that are just doing software don't have this network of contractors nationwide." For B2B founders expanding product lines: customer pull plus operational advantages competitors can't replicate (Lula's contractor density, manufacturer relationships, 1,000 daily work orders of training data) create viable new products. Without both, you're just building undifferentiated software. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

In this week's episode, we're re-airing one of our top episodes Rebecca Hessel Cohen, the founder and CEO of LoveShackFancy, a fashion and lifestyle brand know for its unique floral prints and bohemian dresses.LoveShackFancy was born out of necessity when Rebecca was in search of the perfect bridesmaid dresses and was out of luck. After creating her own designs, she garnered lots of support from family and friends and began selling dresses from the trunk of her car and the rest was history. Born and raised in New York, Rebecca was surrounded by fashion starting at the age of 4 and her story is nothing short of spectacular. Today, LoveShackFancy has gained mass appeal from her vintage-inspired details, flattering silhouettes and playful dresses and ultimately catering to all age groups. The ultra feminine super-maximalist clothing and lifestyle business now has 17 retail locations in the U.S. and is continuing to expand. What started out as a dress company in 2013 has evolved into an all-encompassing lifestyle brand selling fragrances at Sephora to kid's clothing and a home collection that is set to launch later this month. In this week's episode we chat about her upbringing surrounded by fashion, her early career as a fashion editor and why she felt like it was time to do something different in her life despite her incredible career. We talk about how her interest making a few pieces of clothing turned into a successful side hustle and eventually years later, her full time gig. Rebecca opens up about how many people told her that the feminine prints and vibe would never sell, and that her brand's name was horrible - and why she didn't let that stop her. We also chat about the unglamorous days of building the brand, overcoming fears in business, and using social media for success. She stresses setting boundaries, LoveShackFancy's mission, and shares dos and don'ts for running a business for over a decade.In this episode, we'll talk to Rebecca about:* Rebecca's upbringing influenced her early fashion and confidence.

In this introspective episode of the Uncommon Wealth Podcast, host Phillip Ramsey addresses a compelling issue that many entrepreneurs face: the perils of anchoring one's identity solely in their business endeavors. Through reflective storytelling and practical insights, Ramsey unpacks the emotional and psychological challenges that can arise when deeply invested business leaders suddenly find themselves in a post-sale identity vacuum.Dive into a nuanced conversation about the intertwined nature of identity and entrepreneurship. Phillip Ramsey shares the compelling narrative of a former business owner who experienced a complete mental breakdown after selling his business. This episode delves into how this profound experience reveals the often-overlooked psychological stress related to business ownership and identity. Ramsey emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and addressing these issues early on, suggesting mindful consideration of one's identity beyond their business achievements. With expert analysis and real-life examples, Phillip provides a roadmap for aligning personal identity with broader life roles, such as being a parent, partner, or spiritual being, thus paving the way for a healthier, more balanced approach to business and life.Key Takeaways: Entrepreneurs often face identity crises post-business sale, highlighting the danger of tying identity solely to business roles. Business ownership, much like parenting, involves deep emotional investment, which can lead to identity issues when those roles change or end. Maintaining a multi-faceted identity is crucial for personal well-being; this includes identifying roles beyond being a business owner. Continual self-reflection and asking "Who am I?" can help build a comprehensive identity that is not reliant on external success or business status. Emphasizing personal roles, such as being a friend, family member, or spiritual individual, can offer stability and fulfillment beyond business achievements.Notable Quotes: "A lot of times business owners and people who are starting a business struggle with putting all of their identity in their business." "You pour yourself into a business as much as you do a child; when it's gone, you can feel lost, no matter your bank account balance." "When you think about your identity, try to think about something other than what your business is." "I want to have my identity rooted in something that can never be taken away."

Most bird species in North America mate for a single breeding season. Some may team up again the following year, just because both stay in - or return to - the same territory. Fewer than one-fifth of Song Sparrow pairs are reunited. Hawks, eagles, and ravens have wide territories, thus few contacts with the opposite sex. Maintaining a relationship through the winter may assure breeding in the next season.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.
