A calm and composed riding technique with a demeanour to match, are the attributes that have endeared Koby Jennings to many trainers in his fifteen year career. After spending the latter part of his apprenticeship in Sydney the heavyweight rider joined the fully fledged ranks knowing his opportunities would be restricted by weight. Nevertheless he rode winners consistently, earning the respect of some of Sydney's most astute trainers. Koby's CV is highlighted by wins in a Provincial Championship Final and a Golden Eagle. Two years ago he returned to his hometown of Traralgon and the winners have continued to flow across the region. He's currently taking a break from the sweat box and trying his hand as a businessman. He's on the podcast this week to bring us up to date. Koby begins by assuring us that he has no intention of abandoning his beloved thoroughbreds. In fact he's still riding regular trackwork. He talks of his association with Will Hayes who runs Lindsay Park's Pakenham stables. Koby says it took an age for him to get any traction among the Victorian riding ranks when he relocated from Sydney two years ago. The 31 year old outlines the reasons for his current absence from the race riding ranks. The heavyweight jockey talks about his acquisition of a Jim's Mowing franchise in Traralgon West. He looks forward to the challenge. Koby takes us back to his original apprenticeship to his late grandfather and the excitement of his first race ride. He says it took him a long time to crack it for that elusive first win. He reflects on that unforgettable day at Stony Creek. The jockey looks back on a loan-out to Darwin trainer Stephen Brown and an exciting eighteen months in the Top End. Also in Darwin was jockey Carl Spry who later got an opportunity in Canberra. Koby says he decided to go with Carl and was fortunate to get a start with trainer Mark Schmetzer who supported him admirably. He talks of a brief stint with the Jones/Joseph team in Canberra which preceded a move to Randwick trainer Kevin Moses. He talks of the valued tutorship from the former ace jockey. Koby looks back on his chance meeting with a young Dutch girl who was working for Anthony Cummings at the same time. Koby and Nerissa are nowadays the proud parents of son Declan and daughter Riley. He looks back on time spent with Jim and Greg Lee in the latter stages of his apprenticeship. He reflects on one special day towards the end of his junior term when he won four races for different stables at a Rosehill Gardens Saturday meeting. Koby talks of happy associations with several prominent stables, and pays tribute to the trainers in question. He looks back on a thrilling two year old win on the Gold Coast for trainer Nathan Doyle and a Calibre Syndication ownership group. Koby says his association with Doyle continued after his move back to Victoria. The jockey looks back on his association with Bobbing, a horse who qualified for the Provincial Championship despite a serious setback. He looks back on the gelding's huge effort to win the $500,000 Final. He acknowledges the training performance by Bernie Kelly. Koby takes us through the “before and after” of his unexpected Golden Eagle win on Colette in the Godolphin colours. He remembers two stakes wins on the John Sargent trained Luvaluva and a surprise trip to NZ to ride the mare in a Gr 1 event at Te Rapa. In a complete change of direction Koby talks of his passion for deep sea fishing and the fibre glass boat he treated like a prized thoroughbred. He looks back on fishing expeditions many kilometres from home base. He pays tribute to his trainer father Troy who's continuing to train a small team of horses despite ongoing health issues. It's a nice yarn with a very disciplined heavyweight jockey who hasn't squandered an opportunity in his fifteen years of race riding. You can't help but get the feeling his career isn't over yet.
Priortising family has led one mum-of-three to a life on the power tools, rather than in the hospital ward. Nearly six years ago Amanda Fitzgerald was juggling shifts as an oncology nurse at Starship Hospital in Auckland. But when her father died, the family moved to Reporoa to support her Mum on the family farm. To make a living Amanda started her own all female lawn mowing business, SheMows. Amanda Fitzgerald spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.
Photo by Zac Taheriyan on Unsplash Published 10 August 2026 e564 with Michael, Andy and Michael – a spider filled episode with AdTech and lifesaving robotic implications, VR Mario Kart, quantum lawn mowing, identity management and a whole lot more! Michael, Andy and Michael begin the episode with Spider-Man showing up in an unexpected place – a BMW infotainment system! The negative reactions from the articles and cohosts were not surprising. The team have discussed ads you don't want showing up where you don't want them – like on automotive windshields, in AR, and more – see e481 from 2024 in the links below for more on this. The team shifts to a more enjoyable driving experience, where Andy describes what he did to enable a VR version of Mario Kart. Next up – a reflection on 30 years of Quake with an anniversary release. Then, appealing to the team's sensibilities on mowing lawns and penchant for NP quantum problems, a lawn mowing optimization game from Pudding. Switching from software to hardware, the cohosts take a look at a surprising smaller than expected device called the Octopus 16 which measures EEG brain signals to allow the user to control a computer. See the show notes below for the original box for the Emotiv headset from the July 2015 kickstarter. Then, the titular post for this show, a new robot based on nature for rescuing people who are drowning. The inspiration for this robot was a fishing spider who walks on water to capture its prey. Your show notes thankfully do not include pictures of such spiders, though if you click through to the Arxiv paper, there is a picture, so consider yourself warned. While not discussed in this episode, Dr. Kate Darling's book The New Breed: What Our History with Animals Reveals about Our Future with Robots explores social and ethical themes on robotics that fit nicely into this theme. Michael M had a chance to hear her speak at Duke earlier this year and an article about that talk is included in the notes below. Rounding out the show, the team wraps up with an identity service from Meta called Facebook Verified. This free service is intended to help identify when a person is a human and distinguish from AI agents. The cohosts shared thoughts about this topic and the service before the recording time was exhausted. Aside from spiders, what other robotic form factors based on the animal and insect kingdom would you want to see? Have your bots

Eighteen months into his Jim's Mowing franchise, Mitchell Dennis was pulling $5,000 weeks through spring, about $1,000 a day. Mitchell left a trade as a technician, found Jim's Mowing on Seek, and started with just 22 regular clients. Today he runs a round in the low 70s across the hilly, big-block suburbs around Belgrave, and he is hiring casual help to get through his next spring. In this episode he is straight about the numbers. What a real spring looks like, why his costs ran to more than half his revenue the year he bought a car and upgraded gear, and how the 6% fee figure Jim quotes matched his own end-of-year books. He covers late payers and deposits, upselling hedging and cleanups without a hard sell, call transfers that convert, and the family flexibility that let his wife stay off full-time work after they had their son. If you want an honest look at year two of a mowing franchise, start here.Income disclaimer: The income and cost figures shared in this episode reflect one franchisee's individual experience and are not a guarantee of earnings.

In this episode of The Bottom Line, Sevan sits down with Jim Penman, founder of Jim’s Group and one of Australia’s most well-known voices in small business. Known by many as the name behind Jim’s Mowing and the wider Jim’s Group, Jim has built one of the country’s most recognised franchise brands. His business journey started early, from earning his first money as an eight-year-old doing odd jobs to turning a part-time lawn mowing business into a full-time venture in 1982. Today, Jim’s Group has grown into a franchise network with thousands of franchisees across Australia and beyond, but the lessons behind that growth remain deeply practical for small business owners. Across the conversation, Jim shares what it really takes to build, scale, and sustain a service business. He talks about the early days of franchising, reaching 100 franchisees in just 18 months, why customer service matters more than most businesses realise, and why looking after franchisees has always been at the centre of the Jim’s Group model. He also shares honest lessons from the mistakes he has made along the way, including the risks of moving too quickly into ventures you do not fully understand, the importance of humility in business, and why strong systems, feedback, pricing, and leadership can make all the difference.

From major historic site upgrades to the end of a legendary brewing era, Episode 270 of Beer, Blues, and BS is packed with high mileage, heavy machinery, and plenty of banter. We kick things off with a milestone celebration for our local historic sites before diving straight into breaking industry news: the historic discontinuation of a classic American heritage beer brand. The "What's on Tap" segment takes our palates on a truly wild ride. The crew tests the limits with an absolute gauntlet of experimental beverages, featuring everything from a video-game-branded sour cherry soda and a "pineapple-gasoline" punch, to a fiercely ginger-forward kombucha and a spiced pineapple soda packed with black pepper. On the flip side, we celebrate a massive milestone as the show officially features its very first craft beer sourced from the state of Mississippi! Plus, JS pulls off a live mechanical feat right on camera, replacing a radiator and water pump mid-show while dropping some critical "mower beer" safety disclaimers. We also talk technical setups for the next big music challenge, dive into the literal phonetic quirks of the German language, debate the perfect base coat for Howard's latest scarecrow miniature, and share deep personal philosophies on why adults need to learn to embrace the quiet moments. On Tap this Episode: Mark Kidder: Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy, New Belgium Mountain Time, and a smooth Southern Pecan Brown Ale. JS: Leinenkugel's Orange Shandy, a crisp Blueberry Lager, and a classic Grain Belt Premium. Doc: Fanta Crimson Sour Cherry (Diablo 4 Edition) and a beautifully balanced Thai Lychee drink. Big D: Mad Dog 2020 Island Pineapple Spike Punch and a strawberry high-protein milkshake "perfection." Howard Blues: Synergy Ginger Berry Kombucha and a spiced pineapple-cinnamon soda.

From setup and maintenance to lawn health and time savings, they break down the technology, bust common myths, and discuss how automated mowing can help you spend less time working in your yard - and more time enjoying it.

Ever wonder where your high school diploma actually is? Neither do we... until somehow it became the most important question of the day.On this episode, the gang takes a nostalgic trip back to the golden age of SportsCenter, remembering the legendary Stuart Scott and the iconic catchphrases that basically raised an entire generation of sports fans. One minute we're honoring broadcasting greatness, the next we're discussing football injuries, old ESPN rivalries, and why "Booyah!" deserves a comeback tour.Then things get weird. Really weird.A local neighborhood dispute explodes after a mystery lawn vigilante decides someone's yard isn't meeting community standards and takes matters into his own hands. Unfortunately, the unauthorized landscaping project allegedly turns into a bunny apocalypse, sparks Nextdoor drama, and launches one of the most ridiculous debates we've had in a while. Is No Mow May helping the environment, or is it just a fancy excuse to avoid yard work? The jury is still out.Speaking of questionable life choices, the crew discovers that almost nobody knows where their high school diploma is. For years we were told this magical piece of paper would unlock life's opportunities, yet somehow none of us can locate ours and nobody has ever asked to see it. Naturally, this evolves into a campaign for honorary degrees from every college in the St. Louis area. If you're a university administrator listening right now, we're accepting applications.Meanwhile, New York basketball fans continue proving that sports can bring people together... specifically to collectively tackle a guy wearing the wrong jersey. The crew reacts to viral videos of playoff mayhem, debates fan behavior, and wonders how anyone survives walking through an angry crowd while representing the opposing team.The internet also delivers one of the most frustrating viral parenting moments we've seen in a long time. A little girl flips off an elderly man at a grocery store, the mom decides to defend the behavior, and the internet responds exactly the way you'd expect. It's one of those stories where every second somehow makes things worse.Plus:The return of "Booyah!"SportsCenter nostalgiaMissing diplomasHonorary college degreesCharles Barkley vs. ShaqNo Mow May controversyBunny protection programsNeighborhood lawn vigilantesDowntown St. Louis food hall newsKnicks fan insanityViral parenting failsRatio Jury DutyIt's another completely normal daily comedy show from people who somehow turn every conversation into an argument about lawn maintenance, rabbits, and academic credentials.If you enjoy weird news, pop culture commentary, St. Louis conversations, and a group of adults spending way too much time discussing documents nobody can find, this episode is exactly the kind of chaos you're looking for.The daily comedy show continues proving that no topic is too small, no internet video is too ridiculous, and no honorary doctorate is beyond our reach.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Wednesday 3pm Hour: Jason is joined in-studio by Minneapolis City Council President Elliot Payne to talk about the resignation of Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara, and his concerns over the transparency in the investigations surrounding the Chief. Then Tracy Perlman joins for her weekly appearance - was Jason wrong to mow the lawn shirtless this morning?
In this episode of Business Brain, we dig into what happens when a holiday throws off your rhythm. Dave detached over Memorial Day weekend and paid for it on Tuesday, proof that a long weekend needs the same planning as a road trip if you want to land softly back at your desk. We get into the language we use to talk to ourselves, why a “to-did” list might be the best sleep aid going, and how offloading reminders frees up the brain cycles you’re burning trying to remember everything. Find the system that fits how your mind actually works, and you’ll sleep better knowing you checked the boxes that matter. Then we break down SB Mowing — the landscaper who turned free lawn cleanups into a $2.4 million business run out of a pickup truck and trailer. Spencer films time-lapse videos of his worst overgrown yards, posts them on YouTube, and pulls 55 million followers and 3 billion annual views, no longer charging for the work because the content is worth a hundred times more. The lesson for living the Charmed Life: every business is in the social media business. Find the repetitive grunt work you already do, point a camera at it, and let the time-lapse do the marketing — whether you’re mowing lawns, running robot mowers, or tearing down a drum kit after a gig. 00:00:00 Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs' Podcast #756 for Wednesday, May 27, 2026 May 27th: National Sunscreen Day 00:01:37 The cost of a day off.

Damian Bush felt fit, coached footy, hit the gym, and weighed 80kg. Then a routine check found his resting heart rate sitting at 137 and he was in emergency heart surgery the next day.Damian has been a Jim's Mowing franchisee in Tasmania for nearly 10 years and supports the Tassie network alongside running his own crew. He joins Joel on the Jim's Mowing podcast to share the health scare that nearly took him out, and the business systems that kept his income running while he recovered.The conversation covers why franchisees service their machines but neglect themselves, the income protection gap most operators have no idea about, and how Damian turned every Tasmanian customer into a fortnightly retainer across all four seasons. Damian also breaks down the personal brand standards he runs his business by, how one local franchisee got 18 five-star Google reviews in two weeks, and why sponsoring local sport teams and raffle prizes still outperforms digital ads for long-term franchisees.If you run a service business or you are looking at a Jim's franchise, this one is worth your time.0:00 Diversifying services and winter upsells0:45 Meet Damian Bush, Tasmania franchisee1:10 The health scare that changed everything3:14 A resting heart rate of 137 with no symptoms6:23 Why franchisees skip their own check-ups9:25 Income protection and personal cover12:11 Diversifying into a full-garden retainer model14:24 How to get off Jim's leads and build referrals19:07 Personal brand standards every franchisee needs22:30 Setting your own non-negotiable standards24:34 Upselling, networking, and Google My Business33:00 Why one franchisee gets requested by name38:16 The 30 doors a day local marketing tactic40:21 Sponsoring sport teams and raffle prizes46:31 Building referrals through community trust
In this episode, Mike breaks down ROPED's very first real-world robotic mowing demo and installation — and the reactions were exactly what you'd expect. The customer was excited. The team saw the vision. But one person wasn't buying in at all… the gas mechanic. Why are so many people resistant to battery-powered equipment and robotic mowing? Is it fear of change? Fear of losing relevance? Or are contractors simply not adapting fast enough to where the industry is headed? Mike dives deep into: Why robotic mowing and battery equipment are disrupting the industry The mindset shift contractors NEED to make Why some mechanics and operators push back against new technology ROPED's first Kress install using the KR174 How surprisingly simple the setup and mapping process was What customers are really looking for in 2026 Why robotics aren't replacing landscapers — they're changing the role of landscapers This episode is a raw, honest look at the future of the green industry and what happens when innovation collides with tradition. If you're curious about robotic mowing, battery-powered equipment, or where the landscaping industry is heading next, this one's for you.
