Host: Carol MacAllister Guests: Tim Ryan & David Clingan Description: Tim Ryan (Lakes) and David Clingan (Manor) are the Managers of Maintenance on our two Willow Valley campuses. They share with host Carol MacAllister the breadth and depth of the work their departments do. Residents can SEE that they fix what is broken and replace what can't be fixed in their homes, but in fact, they do so much more. Everything that has to do with the Brick and Mortar of WV, inside and out, is their domain. For every activity, function, or special event that requires setup and teardown (e.g., Cultural Center and Chautauqua Hall), the maintenance department is present. Holidays such as Christmas double their workloads, although the staff does not increase. They put up all those Christmas Trees, live and artificial! Winter snows create round-the-clock efforts. This is a well-oiled operation, often invisible to the residents.

November was one of the wildest months I've ever walked through, and in this episode, I'm inviting you behind the scenes to hear the full recap—what worked, what didn't, and what I'm carrying forward into December. This was the month I made the big move from my home bakery into a brick-and-mortar space, and it came with all the expected learning curves… and then some. From navigating a new oven and workflow quirks to managing Thanksgiving pre-orders and a soft opening, there was a lot to celebrate—and a lot to adjust.I'll share honest reflections on product trends, marketing lessons, and how I'm thinking differently about pacing, prepping, and planning ahead (especially when it comes to holidays and retail baking). If you're in a season of transition or expansion, I hope this month-in-review encourages you to pause, reflect, and keep moving forward with intention. There's beauty in the messy middle, and sometimes the best lessons come from the days that don't go quite as planned.Resources: Join The Bread Winner Network: https://carolinebower.thrivecart.com/bread-winner-network/ – Monthly membership for sourdough bakers.Grab the Profit & Pricing Calculator: Simplify the math, clarify your margins, and confidently price your products. http://carolinebower.com/calculator Follow me on Instagram for more microbakery tips: @carolinebower_sourdoughFind links to all of my sourdough microbakery favorites including packaging, pans, and more! www.carolinebower.com/linksDownload the FREE Guide and Checklist, Your First Steps to a Successful In-Home Bakery at https://www.carolinebower.com/checklist to begin building YOUR thriving microbakery!

Today we are talking with an emergency doc who has become a multimillionaire. We love this conversation because he has the most boring and consistent financial story. He didn't build a real estate empire or get lucky with Crypto or some fancy investment. He just has a written financial plan that he has followed consistently. He built wealth the boring old fashioned way, with nothing fancy, but lots of success. He feels strongly about spending on what you are passionate about and being cheap on the things you don't care about. He spends lavishly on travel and even has a language tutor. He currently speaks 4 languages and has been to 45 countries. After the interview we are talking about real estate syndications for Finance 101.

He also highlights the critical role of technology in supporting and elevating the skilled trades, and the future of tech in the industry.Welcome to Elevating Brick and Mortar.

As a professional, he continued to pursue work in manufacturing and construction. As an entrepreneur and an employee in these industries, he continued to grow his experience and admiration for the people that make this country run. Whether it was hub components for heavy trucks, or a clean room for the Department of Defense, the fingerprints of hard work and resolve was evident everywhere he spent time.Aaron quickly noticed that less and less people want to go into the skilled trades. He started XOi to solve the biggest problem every company in blue-collar industries are facing today: a skilled trades gap.

Comedian + Intuitive Rachel LaForce is back asking the question we avoid most: what if love - not hustle, self-criticism, or the next self-help trend - is the thing that holds it all together? Rachel weaves humor and hard-won wisdom about recovery, nervous system healing, and self-compassion into a cultural critique of toxic “never enough” cycles. Expect a gut-check (and some gut laughs) about why you're already doing a really f*cking good job, and how love might just be the most rebellious strategy we've got. It's time to close the gap between where you are and where you want to be. Tune out, tune in.

This is a rebroadcast of my 2018 interview with John Hamer & Lachlan MacKay from the Community of Christ. They'll bust some LDS myths about the Kirtland Temple, Word of Wisdom, Alice Cooper, and more! Check it out! https://youtu.be/NjnkS1Y-tls Copyright © 2025 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved Except for book reviews, no content may be reproduced without written permission A Journey Through Kirtland and Beyond The early history of the Latter-day Saint movement is far richer and more complex than many realize, marked by vibrant architectural innovations, evolving theological understandings, and a dramatic succession crisis that led to the formation of numerous distinct traditions. Recent discussions with Community of Christ leaders, Apostle Lachlan MacKay and Seventy John Hamer, offer fascinating insights into this intricate past, shedding light on topics ranging from the Kirtland Temple's original appearance to the diverse interpretations of core doctrines. John is the author of Scattering of the Saints: Schism Within Mormonism. Bust LDS Myths on Kirtland Temple: Kaleidoscope of Early Worship The Kirtland Temple, a pivotal edifice in early Latter-day Saint history, holds a storied past, not least because of its surprising original aesthetics and a tumultuous ownership saga. When first constructed, the building did not present the pristine white façade it does today. Rather, it was designed to emulate a grand, cut-stone look, achieved through an ingenious building technique introduced by Artemus Millet. The walls, approximately two feet thick and 45 feet high, were constructed from rubble, primarily sandstone, held together with mortar. To create the desired elegant appearance, a hard plaster or stucco finish was immediately applied to the exterior. This stucco was mixed with crushed old crockery and glass, making the surface sparkle brilliantly when struck by sunlight. Mortar joints were then painted onto the walls, giving the illusion of large, meticulously cut stone blocks from a distance. Far from white, the temple was described as "blue" in the 1830s, likely a slate gray hue. Even the wooden shingles were dipped in red lead paint for preservation, and the front doors were olive green, presenting a far more colorful structure than we envision today. This vibrant exterior, sadly, was toned down over the years due to fading, extensive patching of cracks, rust streaks from iron in the sandstone, and eventually, the removal and replacement of stucco in the 1950s, leading to its brilliant white appearance only since the 1960s. The temple's initial function also differed significantly from modern Latter-day Saint temples. In Kirtland, it served as a public house for worship with a strong emphasis on spiritual and intellectual empowerment. Two-thirds of the temple was dedicated to classroom space, where people would attend worship on Sundays and school six days a week. It even housed the Kirtland High School, accommodating students from six years old through adulthood, making it the center of community life. This public access contrasted with the Nauvoo temple, where a tithe-payer's receipt was required for the baptismal font, a precursor to the modern temple recommend concept. The Kirtland Temple's ownership history is equally complex, described as "a mess". Joseph Smith sometimes owned it personally and at other times on behalf of the Church. Amid financial difficulties, it was signed over to William Marks to protect it from creditors. After Joseph Smith's death, there were attempts by various groups, including Brigham Young's followers, to sell or claim the temple. A particularly violent incident in 1838 saw dissenters storm the temple with guns and knives, aiming to take possession, only to be ejected by police amidst a chaotic scene involving a toppled stovepipe and soot. The Community of Christ's "Kirtland temple suit" in the 1880s was primarily about establishing identity as Joseph Smith ...
