X: @billyeargin @ileaderssummit @americasrt1776 @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia Join America's Roundtable radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with Bill Yeargin, one of America's top CEOs who took an iconic American boat manufacturing company which was experiencing financial difficulties. By transforming the corporate culture at Correct Craft, Bill took Correct Craft with revenues of $40 million in 2009 and reached its goal of becoming a billion-dollar enterprise in 2023. During Yeargin's tenure, Correct Craft grew by over 20X and won many awards, including Florida's Manufacturer of the Year and the boating industry's Most Innovative Company.

In highlighting the new book titled "Mindset Matters" which he co-authored with Zach Hutcheson, CFO of Correct Craft, Bill Yeargin shares his insights and experiences over the past 20 years at the helm of Correct Craft. The company played a pivotal role in World War II when the leadership of the company in 1945 heeded the call of General Eisenhower who needed over 400 boats in the winter to move over 15,000 US soldiers in the perilous crossing of Germany's River Rhine. The company was then producing less than 20 boats per month, yet did the impossible in what National Geographic called the "Miracle Production" when Correct Craft built over 400 boats in less than 30 days while keeping the Sabbath. The unique story of Correct Craft over the past 101 years reminds us all of the creativity and ingenuity of Americans fueling innovation and achieving ground-breaking results.

A Cumberland County food manufacturing facility is expanding. Schreiber Foods, located in Shippensburg, announced Tuesday it's embarking on a nearly $133 million expansion at its yogurt and cream cheese plant. Nearly half of the state’s rural counties do not have hospitals with labor and delivery units, according to the Center for Rural Pennsylvania. This reflects a nationwide trend of hospitals closing specialized service lines such as obstetrics. Every year, PA One Book encourages reading by selecting a children's book to help create a shared reading experience statewide. We share this year’s selection. Police in Carlisle continue to investigate the distribution of white supremacist propaganda last weekend. The FBI found explosive residue in a Bucks County storage unit after two men were charged with bringing homemade bombs to a protest outside the home of New York City’s mayor. Pennsylvania is one of only eight states with a closed primary system. That means only voters registered as Democrats or Republicans can cast ballots in their respective parties' spring elections. Advocates hope to open those primaries up to Pennsylvania's unaffiliated voters - a group that numbers more than one million.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pool Pros text questions hereWayne goes full soapbox after watching an HGTV/Magnolia renovation show that builds a commercial-style pool using “biofilters” as a chemical-free solution—without ever addressing sanitation, oxidation, or code-required disinfectant residuals. Steve backs him up with real-world field logic: filtration doesn't equal disinfection, and “natural” systems can turn into expensive science projects fast.Then the episode shifts into the Insurance Interlude with Pat Grignon (California Pool Association), digging into warranty claims, liability, how insurance carriers investigate faults, and why documentation (photos/video/notes) protects your business for years.Segment 1 — Wayne's HGTV rant: Biofilters, “natural pools,” and reality TV chemistry (00:00–25:14)Key takeawaysFiltration is not sanitation. Even DE filtration doesn't catch bacteria/viruses reliably because pathogens are below typical filter micron ratings.Biofilters often rely on nitrifying bacteria (Wayne names Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter) that convert:ammonia → nitrites → nitratesWayne's red flag: nitrates feed algae, and there's no easy chemical “undo” once nitrates climb—drain and replace is often the only practical correction.Real-world reality check: if bathers are involved, ammonia shows up (sweat/urine), and you still need an actual sanitizer system.The pool “looked great” on reveal day… but nobody wanted to get in (which Steve jokes is basically the fate of many pools anyway).Wayne predicts the biofilter setup becomes a regret purchase—$15,000 spent before eventually converting to conventional filtration + sanitation.Quoteable moments“Natural pool” = Wayne's eyes bug out.“People want to swim in water, not chemicals… but safe water takes chemistry.”Steve's “pimp my ride but for houses” comparison for the show's projects.Segment 2 — Insurance Interlude w/ Pat Grignon: Warranty work, liability, and documenting the mess (25:14–40:18)What's coveredSteve explains the reality of warranty service: no urgency unless someone becomes the “pain in the ass” pushing it forward.Pat outlines how manufacturers protect themselves:Warranty/service stations often required to carry high insurance limits and endorsements that shield the manufacturer.Waiver of subrogation explained:Normally, your insurer pays then may subrogate (recover) from a manufacturer if a defect caused the loss.Waiver blocks that upstream recovery—so your policy can get stuck holding the bag even when the part was defective.Notable mentionsHGTV / Magnolia Network renovation show: “Building Outside the Lines”Movie drop: True Romance (Hans Zimmer soundtrack, Tarantino script)Brands mentioned in discussion/examples: Hayward, Jandy (AquaLink), Pentair, plus references to warranty stations and commercial systems.Call to action (from the hosts)Got a technical question or topic idea?

In this podcast Jimmy interviews Moms Across America's Zen Honeycutt about a recent Donald Trump executive order and proposed Farm Bill language related to glyphosate and pesticide regulation. Despite campaign promises about reducing toxins and addressing chronic illness, the President's actions demonstrate that the Trump administration is favoring agribusiness interests and could shield pesticide manufacturers from liability while limiting state and local authority. The two discuss evidence demonstrating that glyphosate-based herbicides cause cancer and other health harms and criticize regulatory agencies and corporate influence in Washington. The segment frames the issue as a betrayal of MAHA voters and urges grassroots activism to oppose the legislation. Plus segments on police radio transmissions that raise new doubts about Charlie Kirk's final moments and the common household items that are secretly spying on you. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Kurt Metzger!

Years ago, we had this 1998 Oldsmobile, and it had behavior problems. You could say it was acting up again. I was thinking about this one time that it seemed to be having lots of problems at the same time. So my wife and I looked at each other and said, "It's time to take it to Mr. Oldsmobile." So, we dropped it off at the local Oldsmobile dealer's garage. Of course, they knew exactly what was wrong and exactly what had to be done. Of course! That shouldn't be a big surprise. They represented the manufacturer. And the manufacturer knows how it runs best. Right? I'm Ron Hutchcraft, and I want to have A Word With You today about "Sex and the Inventor." In our lifetime, our culture has gone through a culturequake that probably registers about a 9.5 on the Richter scale. One area that has been severely shaken is our beliefs about sex. So much so, that our culture is just rapidly redefining what's normal, including sexual relationships outside of marriage, sexual relationships with the same sex, sex where the only deciding factor is whether you can do it safely. But sex is just too powerful; it's too beautiful to risk messing it up. I'd like to think that this bombardment of sexual ideas has left God's people untouched, but you know better than that. That's why it's time to take this wonderful invention called sex right back to the Manufacturer to see how it's supposed to run. Because the quake has left too many victims scarred, and lonely, and devalued, and struggling with guilt, and shame, and brokenness. Remember, no one knows more about sex than the Inventor. So let's go to the Manufacturer's manual - you may know it as the Bible - and we'll see what the Manufacturer of sex says about His invention in our word for today from the Word of God. It begins with Mark 10:6. Jesus is talking. "At the beginning God made them male and female." Okay, so God thought up this whole thing. "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore, what God has joined together, let man not separate." Now the Inventor of sex says He designed it to be an exclusive language of love with only one person in your life - the person of the opposite sex to whom you are committed in a lifetime covenant called marriage. Anything else is abnormal sex - sex as it was never meant to be, sex that can never deliver the fulfillment and love and excitement that belongs only to those who wait for and limit themselves to Designer Love. The debates over abstinence and safe sex, living together, and same-sex relationships tend to be a clash of human values and viewpoints. What we're talking about here is the Inventor's word on sex. The user doesn't have the final word. The Inventor does. His word is final. It doesn't matter what percent of any group believes differently or what the culture says is normal or what your glands or rationalizations say is okay. The Creator of sex has spoken. He's never changed His mind. Sex is for one man with one woman, committed to each other for life. And the Creator of sex is also the Judge of all mankind - the One to whom we will give account for what we have done with His powerful gift of sex. You may very well say, "You know, I have crossed the boundaries of God more than once." And the Bible says, in fact, we will stand before Him in judgment for all of our actions that have violated His boundaries - outside of His fence...His laws. But I have wonderful news for you. The very things you're thinking about right now that may have brought shame and guilt and great concern about the judgment you may face are the very things Jesus was nailed to a cross to die for, pay for, and forgive you for. This very day He could give you a brand new beginning. The Bible says you can be clean and forgiven when you grab Him to be your Rescuer from your sin. If you want that, tell Him that today. Go to our website and find there the information you need to confirm a relationship with Him. That's ANewStory.com. Sex at its best is for those who keep it inside the Manufacturer's boundaries. Anything else is a lie that promises excitement, but yields loneliness and scars. The Inventor knows best.

Prompted by an email from fellow home inspector Chris, the discussion explores real-world challenges with flashing details, siding clearances, and the gap between best practices and industry standards. The episode highlights why these details are often overlooked, how that impacts homes, and what inspectors and homeowners should know to avoid costly hidden damage. Here's the link to Inspector Empire Builder: https://www.iebcoaching.com/eventsTakeaways“No damage yet” is not a valid reason to ignore improper flashing—problems can take years to surface.You often cannot confirm the absence of damage without intrusive inspection, so assumptions are risky.Even small, undersized, or poorly angled kick‑out flashings can increase water intrusion potential.Head flashing/drip caps above windows and doors are universally required by manufacturers—even if local builders claim otherwise.Context matters: overhangs, siding type, wall assembly, and home age affect how serious missing flashing is.Water‑resistant barriers and tape alone cannot replace properly installed rigid flashing.When in doubt, report the defect clearly and let the builder or homeowner decide the next steps.Home inspectors must balance clarity, liability, and real‑world practicality when writing reports.Builder and agent pushback is common—but manufacturer instructions are the ultimate authority.Good bedside manner and client communication can prevent inspectors from being labeled “deal killers.”Chapters00:00 Intro and episode setup00:27 Welcoming back Eric Houseman00:56 Show sponsor: IEB01:40 Listener Chris's email and the topic of exterior water‑management defects02:47 Question 1: Kick‑out flashing05:23 Undersized or improperly angled kick‑outs06:15 “There's no damage—why mention it?”08:06 When and why Structure Tech calls out inadequate kick‑outs09:43 Real‑world builder behavior and simple fixes11:11 How wording in reports focuses on increased potential for problems12:10 Balancing best practice and liability13:53 Question 2: Drip caps and head flashing17:12 Why windows and openings universally require rigid flashing18:37 Builder pushback: “It's not required.”21:07 What siding manufacturers expect (and why it matters)24:03 Considering home age, siding type, and overhangs25:46 A continuum of concern: stucco vs. vinyl28:08 How Structure Tech phrases drip‑cap comments29:12 Question 3: Z‑flashing, drainage gaps, and siding clearance31:57 Manufacturer requirements vs. real‑world installations32:46 Structure Tech's canned report language36:57 Should you mention missing kick‑outs on older homes?

A lot of manufacturing companies can build insanely complex and intricate things, but far fewer are set up to handle what happens once customers start buying. So, what happens when those products start selling at scale, contracts get longer, and customers get bigger?In this episode, we're joined by Chris Hale, CEO and Founder at Klear, to uncover a side of manufacturing that often gets overlooked: how money moves through industrial businesses.The conversation explores how money flows when deal cycles are long, customers are global, and planning starts to feel less like spreadsheets and more like a 3D chessboard. Trade finance sits underneath a lot of this activity, shaping how physical infrastructure gets built and how manufacturers grow.We also hear about Chris' experience touring in a band, and how this shaped the way he thinks about coordination, timing, and handoffs, ideas that show up repeatedly in how he approaches financial systems for manufacturers today.In this episode, find out:How Chris Hale moved from touring in a band to working in finance and building fintech tools for industrial companiesWhy trade finance underpins everything from shipping containers to large-scale infrastructure projectsWhat orchestration means in a manufacturing context, and why clean handoffs matterWhy managing money often becomes harder as companies grow and demand increasesHow global volatility, customer behaviour, and innovation shape financial decision-makingWhere financial visibility tends to break down inside fast-growing manufacturersWhy tying money directly to physical execution changes how companies scaleEnjoying the show? Please leave us a review here. Even one sentence helps. It's feedback from Manufacturing All-Stars like you that keeps us going!Tweetable Quotes:“Trade finance as an asset class is fascinating because it's how the world gets built through money. If you see a boat full of shipping containers, that boat is trade finance. If you see a data center being built, everything going into it is trade finance.”“The board keeps moving. You've got government customers, supply chain disruptions, strikes, geopolitics, and it becomes incredibly difficult to plan with confidence.”“Manufacturer are doing all this precision work, but when it comes to their money, they're doing dead reckoning. They're looking at the sun and guessing, and that's where things fall apart.”Links & mentions:Klear Inc., a payment and working capital infrastructure provider that's designed specifically for modern industrial companies. The platform helps manufacturers gain clearer visibility into cash flow, manage risk across long contracts, and better align financial operations with physical execution.

From viral social-media-driven theft spikes to long-running emissions deception allegations, state attorneys general capped 2025 with two high-profile multistate settlements against major car manufacturers, resulting in millions of dollars in consumer relief and compliance commitments. A 35-state coalition secured a $9 million deal with Hyundai and Kia over allegedly inadequate anti-theft technology and related disclosures, and a broad coalition of 50 states resolved claims with Mercedes-Benz over hidden emissions defeat devices — illustrating that AG offices remain aggressive in protecting consumers from safety risks and deceptive practices across the automotive sector. For legal, compliance, and marketing teams, these settlements signal that multistate enforcement isn't limited to traditional product defects but extends to safety-critical and environmental representations, and that companies should be prepared to address social media effects on product misuse, transparent disclosures, and evolving AG expectations.

In this week's episode, Dave Stutzman, Steve Gantner, and Elias Saltz unpack a deceptively simple question with serious implications: Why don't we recommend requiring manufacturer instructions as a submittal? What follows is a candid discussion on liability, means and methods, and the unintended consequences of asking for information that design teams neither control nor should be reviewing during construction. From informational submittals to samples that add little value, the team reinforces a core principle of good specification practice: clarity during design reduces risk, rework, and unnecessary burden during construction administration.Learning Points:Requesting manufacturer instructions as a submittal can increase architect liability, even if reviewed “for record only.”Simply receiving information implies responsibility to review, identify errors, and act on them.Manufacturer instructions fall squarely within contractor means and methods, not design review.Submittals are not contract documents and should not be used to tweak design decisions late in the process.Fewer, more intentional submittals save significant time and cost during construction administration.Product compatibility issues must be resolved during design, not after bidding or procurement.Over-specifying submittals often exceeds realistic CA budgets and site observation scope.Clear specifications reduce change orders, finger-pointing, and downstream risk.

If your manufacturing project keeps stalling, blowing budgets, or needing “rescues,” there's a good chance you picked the wrong factory. In this episode, Adrian and Renaud break down why manufacturer–product mismatch is one of the most common and expensive mistakes importers still make in 2026, especially when adding electronics, higher quality expectations, or regulatory complexity. The key takeaway: factories are focused systems. If their experience, processes, and priorities don't align with your product's real requirements, no amount of optimism or “we'll figure it out” will save the project. Episode Sections: 00:00 Intro + why factory experience still matters in 2026 01:04 Basic due diligence vs real factory suitability 02:01 The core mistake: buyers don't understand what their project actually requires 03:19 Real case: asking a mechanical supplier to assemble an electronic product 05:22 What electronic products really require beyond “assembly” 07:12 Electronics discipline: IPC standards, ESD handling & skilled labor 09:27 Quality control blind spots when factories lack electronics experience 10:00 Salvage projects: when customers come after choosing the wrong supplier 10:20 Skipping DFM and going straight to tooling, a costly red flag 11:36 Why Apple's model works (and why most companies can't replicate it) 12:30 Factory focus: cost-driven vs quality-driven manufacturers 14:40 Regulated products (medical, automotive, aerospace): experience is mandatory 15:36 Why suppliers rarely admit they're the wrong fit 17:17 “Fake it till you make it” in manufacturing 20:49 Lessons from Poorly Made in China: staged factories & appearances 22:35 The buyer's responsibility: suppliers won't self-disqualify 25:23 Audits + analysis: the cheapest insurance against the wrong factory 26:40 Wrap-up: how to avoid picking the wrong horse in 2026 Related content… How To Choose Which Factory Audit You Need?

One that you might want to save and re-listen every now and then. Late last year, I moderated an event hosted by Pacific Sales Kitchen & Home with the goal of breaking down kitchen desires and needs of todays well informed and demanding design clients. You would think this is an easy conversation to have. I assembled an all star cast of design and architecture talent for an incredible conversation. One that you might want to save and re-listen every now and then. At Pacific Sales Kitchen & Home in Torrance, leading architects, designers, and industry specialists gathered to examine how pandemic-era shifts, rising client expectations, and rapid product innovation are reshaping the future of kitchens and baths. Their insights reveal an industry moving beyond trend talk toward highly personalized, wellness-driven, and performance-first design. The kitchen is no longer just a workspace, and the primary bath is no longer just a retreat. Over the past five years, these rooms have become emotional anchors, wellness centers, hospitality zones, tech platforms, and reflections of how people believe they should live. At Pacific Sales Kitchen & Home in Torrance, a cross-section of the industry's leading voices came together to discuss how the profession is adapting—and what clients now expect designers to deliver. For Sayler Design Studio founder Beth Sayler (https://saylorstudio.com), the shift is rooted in emotion. After years of pandemic-related uncertainty, material shortages, and insurance-driven rebuilds, clients want spaces that feel personal, restorative, and meaningful. Her projects now lean into “experience design,” where primary suites might include refrigeration drawers, espresso stations, integrated audio, and hospitality-level details. Her biggest tool is expectation-setting—helping clients redefine what's realistic, what's essential, and what will ultimately make them feel at home again. Architect Luis Escalera of LMD Architecture Studio (https://www.lmdarchitecturestudio.com) experiences the evolution through the lens of constraints. Small lots, stricter codes, and the ongoing battle between mandated electrification and client cooking preferences require tight onboarding, detailed questionnaires, and careful translation of desires to built form. The modern kitchen triangle now includes the deck, yard, and pool—one interconnected lifestyle zone that must function as a unified system. For Jessica Nicastro Design (https://www.jessicanicastrodesign.com), the challenge is volatility. Pricing, tariffs, and supply chains remain inconsistent, making early builder involvement essential. Her firm works to recalibrate what clients think they want—often shaped by social media—into spaces appropriate to the home, lifestyle, and budget. Transparency and trust have become the designer's most valuable currency. At Laney LA (https://www.laney.la), designer Michelle Her sees a growing demand for wellness integration: whole-home RO systems, chromotherapy, therapeutic water pressure, and recovery spaces designed with the same rigor once reserved for kitchens. Their philosophy—“the best idea wins”—creates an environment where architecture, interiors, and engineering collaborate fluidly to support elevated living. Representing the host venue, Pacific Sales Kitchen & Home (https://www.pacificsales.com) showcased the power of specialized knowledge. Trade leaders Verzine Hovasapyan and Juan Pantoja describe a client landscape with no single standard—making customization and education critical. Manufacturer immersion programs ensure staff can guide clients through increasingly complex appliances and smarter home ecosystems, offering a level of service no online retailer can match. Designer Shanna Shryne of Shanna Shryne Design (https://www.shannashryne.com) emphasized lifestyle-first programming. Outdoor kitchens, in particular, require multi-disciplinary collaboration—interiors, landscape architecture, and systems integration—to achieve unified performance. Complexity, she argues, demands partnership rather than lone-wolf generalists. Finally, RHG Architecture + Design founder Rachel Grachowski (https://www.rhgdesign.com) and Hudson Home Interior Design principal Shelly Hudson (https://www.hudsonhomeinteriors.com) highlighted biophilia, natural light, and personalized ergonomics as the next frontiers. From adjustable counter heights to dedicated recovery rooms, the home is becoming a hybrid of spa, laboratory, and living space. Taken together, their perspectives reveal a profession not following trends but redefining standards—one kitchen, one bath, one wellness ecosystem at a time. Design After Disruption: How We Live Now—and Why Process Matters More Than Ever The pandemic didn't just change where we work—it redefined how we live, gather, and experience our homes. In this episode, designers and industry experts explore how COVID accelerated shifts in lifestyle, technology, and client expectations, forcing a fundamental rethink of residential design. From wellness and personalization to process and trust, this conversation reveals why great design today begins long before materials are selected. A wide-ranging conversation about how post-pandemic living reshaped residential design, why understanding behavior matters more than trends, and how slowing the process leads to better, more meaningful homes. Today, we examine the profound shift in how people relate to their homes—and how designers have had to evolve in response. What began as a temporary adjustment during the pandemic became a lasting transformation: homes turned into offices, classrooms, social hubs, and sanctuaries, often all at once. As a result, clients now arrive more informed, more opinionated, and more influenced by social media than ever before. But with that access comes confusion. The conversation explores how designers increasingly serve as educators and translators—helping clients filter inspiration, understand trade-offs, and make decisions rooted in how they actually live rather than how a space looks online. The discussion moves beyond aesthetics into behavior: how families gather, how kitchens function, how storage works, and how subtle design decisions impact daily life. From kitchen planning and furniture layout to the psychology of comfort and the importance of workflow, the episode highlights why the smallest details often matter most. A central theme emerges around process. Thoughtful design requires slowing down, asking better questions, and resisting the pressure for instant gratification. Whether it's understanding how a family entertains, how they cook, or how they want to feel in their home, the best outcomes come from listening first—and designing second. 1. Life After COVID: A Permanent Shift How the pandemic changed expectations around home design The rise of multifunctional spaces Why the home is now both personal and professional 2. Social Media's Influence on Design Culture The upside and downside of endless inspiration Why clients arrive more informed—but often overwhelmed Separating aspiration from practicality 3. Designing for Real Life Understanding how people actually use their homes Why square footage means nothing without function Designing for habits, not hypotheticals 4. The Role of the Designer Has Changed From decorator to strategist Educating clients through experience and data Acting as a guide through complex decisions 5. The Importance of the Kickoff Process Why the first conversations matter most Learning how clients live before proposing solutions Creating clarity through dialogue, not questionnaires 6. Kitchens as Behavioral Maps Storage, workflow, and daily rituals Why drawers often matter more than appliances Designing around how people actually cook and gather 7. Slowing the Process to Improve Outcomes Resisting the urge for instant answers Why design is both art and structured process Helping clients avoid regret through thoughtful planning 8. Trust, Education & Long-Term Value Helping clients understand what they don't yet know Using experience and precedent to guide decisions Designing homes that evolve with the people in them Great design isn't about trends, finishes, or fast decisions—it's about understanding people and tailoring functional design to their lifestyle. This episode reinforces a simple truth: when designers take the time to listen, observe, and educate, the result is not just a better-looking home, but one that truly supports the lives lived inside it.
