Podcasts about Maintenance

Melissa Blake, with Bates Landscaping, looks at a laminated sheet listing her dream clients, and she carries it with her every single day. In Part 1 of this conversation, host Chris Psencik and Melissa dig into what commercial maintenance business development actually looks like on the ground. It's time-blocking your week into create, advance, and close new clients, and using LinkedIn to get ahead of relationship changes. She also shares how she knows when to walk away from a prospect and when to never give up. This is a real, specific, steal-it-today conversation about the front half of the commercial sales cycle.  THE BIG IDEA:  A Laminated List, a Blocked Calendar, and a CRM: The Unglamorous Infrastructure Behind Elite Commercial Sales  KEY MOMENTS:  [02:00] Bates Landscaping: Chester Springs PA, HOA-Focused, Commercial Snow and Maintenance [06:30] What You Don't See: The 3, 6, and 12 Months of Work Behind Every New Contract [09:00] The Laminated Target List: How Melissa Starts Every Year With a Strategic Hit List [12:00] When to Slow Down — and When to Never Give Up on a Prospect [17:00] Vetting Prospects: How to Build a Target List That Matches the Company Vision [20:30] Handling Inbound Leads That Aren't the Right Fit — Professionally [24:30] Getting in Front of Decision-Makers Before You Submit [25:30] "Compared to What?" — How Melissa Responds When She's the High Bid  Questions we answer.  What does a commercial maintenance business developer actually do with their time each week? What is the create / advance / close framework and how do I apply it to my own schedule? How do I build an annual target list — and how specific should it be? What's the best way to track prospects, touchpoints, and pipeline without losing the personal touch? How do I know when to keep pursuing a prospect and when to pull back? What's the difference between a hunter and a farmer — and why does it matter for how I structure my team? Should my account managers also be developing new business? Where's the line? How do I qualify inbound leads without burning bridges with prospects who aren't the right fit? How do I make sure I'm not just another line on the page when responding to an RFP? What's the right way to respond when a prospect tells you you're the highest bid?     

Most people ask how to start a systems integrator. Rich Kuechenmeister has effectively built one five times, and the lesson is that the parent business decides what you become.Rich is owner and partner at Fishbone Technical Services. Before that he built automation groups inside a semiconductor equipment OEM, an automation components manufacturer, a products distributor, and a custom machine builder where he stood up a UL 508A panel shop from nothing. Each of those businesses sold something different, and that changed the engineering. At a machine builder the machine is the dog and the controls are the tail. At a distributor you build toolkits so somebody else can build the solution, handcuffed to the lines you carry. Rich argues that constraint is what made him good, because a single vendor solution is easy while four component areas from four vendors is where real integration lives.His definition of a control systems integrator stays traditional. SCADA and below, field instrumentation through PLC and HMI, bridging a little into MES. Fishbone works line control, process control on boilers, pumps and valves, and material handling where suppliers ship a motor and a few sensors and nothing more.The business advice is specific. He would rather have one $100,000 project than ten $10,000 projects, because that is one project management cycle instead of ten. He cautions against mixing maintenance work and capital projects without a plan, since context switching between a vision system callout and a pump control program burns budget on both. Dave adds the pattern he keeps seeing: come in at the bottom and you get saved in the phone as the maintenance guy, never the capital project guy. Rich hires on desire, attitude and aptitude, and admits he was once the bottleneck himself.Looking ahead, he expects acquisitions to keep rolling up integrators and leaving a void underneath, since a twenty person firm will not get out of bed for the projects a five person firm lived on. On AI he is practical. He turned three day estimates into eight estimates in a single day, but insists code writing is a subset of the job. He is also still doing a PLC-5 conversion and a DeviceNet upgrade.About Rich KuechenmeisterRich Kuechenmeister is owner and partner at Fishbone Technical Services, a nationwide remote technical services company he co-founded in 2021 with business partner Robert Summers. Fishbone is based in Texas and covers plant engineering and control systems integration from field instrumentation through PLC, HMI and SCADA, with some MES. Rich began his career in the United States Navy working on radars, servos and guidance systems, then spent three decades in industrial automation building engineering groups before starting Fishbone.https://fishbonetechnical.comTimestamps0:00 Introduction2:20 Inside Fishbone Technical Services5:20 From the Navy to OEMs, distributors and machine builders9:00 Becoming unafraid and starting a company15:40 What a control systems integrator actually is20:40 How the parent business shapes the work31:40 Filling the sales hopper and qualifying projects36:40 Maintenance work versus capital projects43:00 Hiring for desire, attitude and aptitude48:20 Letting go of the client relationship56:20 Distributors, acquisitions and the void they leave1:04:40 AI, estimating and reverse engineering PLC codeReferencesPrOTect IT All by Aaron Crow: https://www.amazon.com/PrOTect-All-Plain-Spoken-Cybersecurity-Protecting/dp/B0HBM3F4XSISA/IEC 62443 Series of Standards: https://www.isa.org/standards-and-publications/isa-standards/isa-iec-62443-series-of-standardsAbout Your HostsVladimir Romanov is a co-host of The Manufacturing Hub Podcast and the founder of Joltek, an independent manufacturing and industrial automation consulting firm specializing in modernization strategy, digital transformation, and workforce development.

New Boater Lessons: Boat Control, Safety, and Buying the Right Gear with William Woods   Captain Matt talks with William Woods, a first-time boat owner near the Ohio and Illinois Rivers, about his first year boating in a Tracker Bass Tracker Classic XL converted for catfishing.   William shares why he bought a nearly new boat, how he learned to launch and trailer solo, and why boat control is the most important skill for catching fish and staying safe. He explains mistakes with trolling motor and electronics compatibility (Garmin, Minn Kota, Lowrance, Humminbird), and says YouTube helped, but real water time taught him most—especially wind, waves, current, night boating, and barge traffic.   He advises water-testing boats before buying, matching the tow vehicle to the load, using safety gear, and having local emergency contacts.   Links mentioned: www.BoatLoanMatch.com www.EndDockingPanic.com https://BoatersSecretWeapon.com       00:00 Meet William Woods 00:29 Why He Bought a Boat 01:56 Tracker Bass Boat Tour 02:38 First Ramp Nerves 03:41 Solo Catfishing Life 04:42 Boat Control Basics 05:40 Electronics Compatibility Mistake 06:46 Scary Drift Near Barges 07:49 Best Boating YouTube Channels 08:50 Wind and Rough Water Lessons 10:09 Boater Safety Course Rant 10:51 First Fish Victory 11:50 Maintenance and Winterizing 13:04 Night Fishing Hazards 15:09 Big River PB Blue Cat 16:18 Buying Advice Water Test 20:18 Towing Vehicle Must Match 21:56 Trailering and Loading Struggles 22:25 Solo Ramp Strategy 23:39 No Courtesy Dock Problems 25:45 Barges and Surprise Waves 27:34 Night Fishing Hazards 28:47 Advice for New Boaters 30:12 Shallow River Close Call 31:36 Bass Pro Gear Runaround 37:10 Safety Over Everything 38:50 Final Thoughts and Farewell

Why your best team only gets noticed when everything breaks — that's the maintenance leadership trap Frank Hess and Tim Staton dig into in this episode. Together, they break down why most organizations only pay attention to maintenance teams when something fails — and why that reactive culture is a leadership failure, not a technical one.   You'll discover: Why "access to data doesn't mean you have the knowledge" Why maintenance is a long-term leadership initiative, not a two-year budget game Why value-creating teams beat cost-cutters — and how downtime and safety risk hit profit and reputation Why AI can surface insights but can't replace human judgment   Frank Hess co-founded T.A. Cook, an asset performance management consultancy later acquired by Accenture, where he led intelligent asset management globally. He's now Chairman of Vysr Performance Intelligence and author of "The Decision," a novel on the origins of operations-centered maintenance, with 30+ years advising capital-intensive industries.   Why Your Best Team Only Gets Noticed When Everything Breaks Frank argues most plants only notice maintenance "when something breaks, right? Then everyone is in trouble." Tim connects this to leadership: teams deserve real leadership everywhere, not just the boardroom. They cover redundancy ("if you have one of something, you have none of something") and planning for "software has always failure" — reliability is a leadership discipline before it's technical.   Maintenance as Value Creation, Not a Cost Block Frank makes the financial case: "reusing it and enlarging the lifecycle time of an equipment is way more profitable... than investing every three or five years in new equipment." High-performing teams avoid the profit losses of unplanned downtime and mitigate safety risks that protect stock price and reputation — yet maintenance is too often "seen as a cost block instead of a value creator," keeping organizations stuck in reactive mode. Maintenance is invisible when it's working — it's the bedrock of operational stability, from utilities to refineries.   Data Without Knowledge, and the Complexity of Decision-Making "Just because you have access to data doesn't mean you have the knowledge." Frank contrasts his early career in East Germany, where scarcity forced creative, manual repairs, with the modern approach favoring replacement over repair — introducing "black box" automation where software failures are harder to diagnose than mechanical ones. Tim and Frank flag a dangerous trend: treating maintenance as a two-year budget game leads to poor long-term asset management, and argue for empowering technicians to decide based on value, not cost-cutting.   Human Judgment and Technology Frank is clear that AI and digital tools surface useful insights but can't replace human intuition and responsibility. Leaders must build environments where technology supports judgment instead of replacing it — people still evaluate recommendations and prioritize safety and long-term reliability over quick fixes. Perfect for plant managers, operations and reliability leaders, maintenance engineers, and any executive who wants to understand why equipment health is a leadership issue, not just technical.

Add your name and email to our friends of the show list, we'll never share it. Calvin #1: OpenAI's Python SDK has migrated to HTTPX2 The OpenAI Python SDK has migrated to HTTPX2, the Pydantic-stewarded fork of httpx. Pydantic picked it up citing "limited activity recently" in the original project, promising "a reliably maintained path forward." If you just use the default client, nothing to do. No code changes. The catch is TLS. Quoting the guide: HTTPX "previously verified certificates against the CA bundle provided by certifi. HTTPX2 instead uses the operating-system trust store, and the SDK no longer installs certifi." That "can break certificate verification in minimal container images without system CA certificates, environments using corporate TLS-inspecting proxies, and deployments that relied on a custom or modified certifi bundle." The fix is SSL_CERT_FILE or SSL_CERT_DIR, or pass your own ssl.SSLContext via verify. Deeper integrations need real edits: custom clients, auth handlers, hooks, and request mocking all take HTTPX2 objects now, and plain httpx is no longer pulled in transitively. So import httpx in your own code means declaring it yourself or moving over. Temporary escape hatch: a legacy HTTPX client Michael #2: TMOG - Native Task Manager for macOS, Windows, and Linux A native, deeply instrumented system monitor for macOS, Windows, and Linux, now in public beta - from Plummers' Software, i.e. Dave Plummer, who wrote the original Windows Task Manager and donated it to Microsoft in 1995. Wikipedia Three real native apps: Swift/AppKit on macOS, Win32 on Windows, C++/Qt 6 on Linux, with a shared C++ core keeping metric semantics aligned - no browser shell anywhere. One dense summary: CPU, clocks, thermals, GPU, memory, storage, network, energy, and the processes responsible for the load, all click-through. Per-core honesty: logical processor and NUMA views, P and E cores color-coded, optional kernel time, 60 FPS live meters. Memory with context: pressure, wired, compressed, cached, committed, available, and swap, plus configurable scrolling history. Processes that act like processes: tree view, filtering, sorting, follow mode, and native verbs including service and launchd control. Phosphor themes: light, dark, green, amber, blue, or mono, with color and saturation you tune yourself. Calvin #3: wrapture - one wrapper for mocking, tracing, and observability Graham Dumpleton, author of wrapt and the original New Relic Python agent, has released wrapture. The name is wrapt plus capture. The core idea: wrap real code instead of replacing it, so the real code still runs while you watch every call. Name a method with wrapture.binding(Class, "method"), open a timeline(), and you get a tape of what actually happened. Real return values, real nesting, arguments normalised against real signatures. tape.tree() prints the call graph as it ran. One mechanism, three jobs: monkey patching with a real lifecycle (apply, remove, suspend, plus returns, raises, transforms_args), unit testing that asserts on real call flow instead of a flat MagicMock call list, and ad-hoc tracing of a running app. The testing pitch is error paths. Inject TimeoutError at the payment gateway, then assert the ledger was never written. Stubs and mocks are strict and spec-required, and there is deliberately no bare Mock(). Tracing needs no code at all. A wrapture.toml naming targets and a sink, run with python -m wrapture main.py, and you get a live call tree with timings. It captures ordinary logging calls as nested events, and with the otel extra it exports spans, metrics and correlated logs with W3C trace ids that join across services. Every line of code and docs was AI-written under their direction, and they say so up front. Two weeks from first commit, eleventh alpha, over 1000 tests, 150+ pages of docs. Alpha on PyPI, needs Python 3.12+ and wrapt 2.4.0+. Michael #4: linkedin2md: turn your LinkedIn export into 40+ Markdown files Via Juan Manuel Daza - a Python CLI that unpacks LinkedIn's data-export ZIP into clean, per-category Markdown you can drop straight into an LLM. One command: linkedin2md Complete_LinkedInDataExport.zip, plus o for output dir, -lang en|es, and -pdf. 40+ output files: profile, experience, education, skills, connections, posts, comments, reactions, recommendations, endorsements, job applications, even ad targeting and LinkedIn's inferences about you. Built for LLM analysis: the README pitches NotebookLM, Claude Projects, Obsidian, and Ollama, with example prompts like "what patterns do you see in my career transitions?" PDF resume mode: -pdf renders an A4 CV via weasyprint, and degrades gracefully to Markdown-only if it isn't installed. Dependency note: "pure Python / zero-dep" holds for the Markdown path only - the PDF path needs weasyprint and markdown installed. Install: pipx install linkedin2md recommended, pip in a venv otherwise - 86% Python, 10 releases, v0.3.1 in May. Agentic dev angle: repo ships opencode config and an N3RV subagent pipeline, including a "judgment day" dual-model adversarial PR review.

Before investing in a spray foam rig, cutting corners on power, trailer capacity, or layout can cost thousands in unexpected downtime and repairs. Discover what truly makes a mobile setup reliable and built to endure heavy industrial field use. On this episode of the R-Value Podcast, IDI expert Ken Allison interviews Jay Hutchek. Selecting the right spray foam rig involves far more than picking out high-end pumps and spray guns. Industry veteran Jay Hutchek from Millennium Custom Coatings shares critical insights earned over decades of spraying, building, and servicing over a thousand equipment setups. From trailer axle weight limits to electrical design and generator ventilation, Jay breaks down why cheap upfront options often fall apart before the spraying machinery ever wears out. The conversation also explores smart equipment maintenance, managing throat seal lube (TSL) to prevent fluid pump failures, and knowing when to invest in advanced cellular monitoring technology. Whether you are an owner-operator looking to purchase your first setup or expand an existing fleet, this discussion offers practical guidance to avoid common pitfalls, control costs, and keep job sites operating smoothly. Inside this episode... 02:45 – The Hidden Cost of Cheap Rigs: Why trailer frame construction and axle sizing matter as much as the spraying equipment. 05:40 – Critical Rig Design Mistakes: Addressing common hazards related to electrical wiring, layout, and generator ventilation. 07:40 – Maintenance & Common Repairs: Essential fluid pump care, maintaining throat seal lube (TSL), and reducing equipment downtime. 11:00 – Modern Technology & Remote Monitoring: Using cellular-based job site tracking and automatic safety cut-offs to protect high-production jobs. 17:10 – Smart Upgrades vs. Unnecessary Costs: Choosing functional rig setups over expensive extras without sacrificing quality.

Every growing landscape company hits a wall. The owner is doing sales, operations, and admin all at once and the business starts to cap out. In this episode of Roots of Success, McFarlin Stanford Founding Principal Jason New breaks down one of the most common owner blind spots: not having a hiring roadmap. Jason walks through exactly which roles to separate and when: from the first split between sales and operations at $3–5M, to the construction and maintenance-specific roles that unlock $10M and $15M. This episode is practical, specific, and built on McFarlin Stanford's experience working with hundreds of landscape companies. THE BIG IDEA: The Hats You're Still Wearing Are Probably the Reason You've Stopped Growing  KEY MOMENTS:  [00:45] The Core Problem: Owners Do Everything — Sales, Operations, Admin — and Eventually Hit a Wall  [02:30] The First Separation: Who Manages the Work You're Selling?  [03:00] The $3M–$5M Playbook: First Operational Hire, First Office Manager  [05:30] From $5M to $10M: Separating the Roles More Deliberately  [06:00] Construction at $10M: Design/Build Salesperson, Project Manager, and Field Superintendent  [07:30] Maintenance at $10M: Business Developer, Operations/Production Manager, and Account Manager  [10:00] Finance at $10M: Why Your Office Manager Can't Scale With You Forever  [11:30] From $10M to $15M: New Specialty Roles That Start to Emerge  [14:30] Maintenance Leadership at Scale: Why You Need a Division Manager Earlier Than You Think  [16:00] The Ask: Think in Three-Year Windows, Not Just the Next Hire  Questions we answer.  How do I know when it's time to hire my next person? What's the first role I should separate when I'm trying to get out of doing everything myself? What does a $3M–$5M landscape company org structure look like? How does the team structure need to change going from $5M to $10M? What's the difference between a project manager, field superintendent, and account manager? Why does a maintenance company need a division manager at a lower revenue threshold than construction? What does a business developer actually do — and is it a full-time role? When does it make sense to hire an estimator vs. having salespeople estimate their own work? What does a finance manager or controller do that an office manager can't? How do I build a three-year hiring roadmap instead of just reacting when things break? What are the most common hiring mistakes owners make as they scale from $5M to $15M?

Embracing the botanical method aquarium means adopting a “low intervention, high control “ philosophy. It requires thoughtful maintenance- perhaps a lot less than you'd expect. Why? Becuase we rely on the population of microorganisms and other life forms to provide the “filtration” for the system, and maintenance involves letting these processes play out instead of interfering with them? Curious? Give a listen!

Dr. Stora teaches us about the principles of maintaining healthy, sustainable breeding lines over multiple generations. Genetic hygiene, including inherited disease risk, genetic diversity, coefficient of inbreeding, selection pressure and long-term breed preservation, will help you make ethical, evidence-based decisions that protect the future of your lines.Watch the video version of the presentation here.

What would it take for maintenance to become something people actually aspire to be part of? In this episode of Assets UNSCRIPTED, host Berend Booms sits down with Kevin Clark, Head of Industrial Strategy and Asset Management at Siemens. Kevin started his career turning wrenches on the shop floor and has spent more than 40 years working across every level of the industry. He talks about why maintenance is still seen as a cost centre, why the boardroom and the plant floor rarely have the same conversation about smart manufacturing, and why the biggest challenge in asset management isn't technology at all. And if Kevin had five years and a blank-cheque budget? He'd invest every dollar in developing people.

No jet flies without the people who fix it. In this conversation he talks about how the squadron decided which specific aircraft would fly the Iran mission, what it takes to generate a sortie that most people never think about, running a maintenance unit where many of the airmen had never deployed before, and the eighteen hours he waited after the jets taxied out. Before Iran, the 55th Fighter Squadron fought over Yemen in Operation Rough Rider, a sustained air campaign against Houthi surface-to-air threats. What they learned there is the reason the F-16 Block 50 and the AGM-88 HARM were part of the strike package on June 21st, 2025.

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 passed his two-year anniversary of fasting on February 1, 2026. This past year, Jim has completed his first year and a half of maintenance and offers great insight in this episode. Jim has struggled with weight issues at least since the 5th grade of elementary school, at the age 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.
