Ray Vardy was a pre-med student drowning in $1,200 monthly payments for a Tesla he couldn't afford. Desperate to cover the costs, he tried renting it out on existing platforms, only to have the car scratched, smoked in, and, in one instance, used to rob a bank. Instead of accepting defeat, Ray leaned into Product development and built a software solution to automate the entire rental process. Today, that dorm-room project is Eon Rides, a nationwide managed marketplace with thousands of electric vehicles and 70% year-over-year organic growth.In this episode, Ray breaks down how he built a massive tech Startup without knowing how to write a single line of code and without taking a single dollar of venture capital. You will learn why he believes traditional ads are dying, how to leverage AEO (AI Engine Optimization) to dominate search rankings, and the exact strategy he used to solve the classic "chicken or the egg" problem in marketplace Business growth.In this episode, you'll learn:The Barter System: How Ray convinced a college friend to code the very first version of Eon Rides for free by trading lifetime access to the platform's cars.AEO (AI Engine Optimization): Why Ray believes traditional SEO and paid ads are being replaced by ChatGPT and Claude, and how to optimize your landing pages so AI recommends your business.The "Demand First" Marketplace Strategy: Why you should completely ignore supply until you have built a product that customers are rabidly demanding.The Embarrassment Threshold: Why launching a product that doesn't embarrass you means you waited entirely too long to go to market.The Anti-VC Route: Why getting rejected by 50 different investors was the best thing that ever happened to Eon Rides, allowing Ray to prioritize safety and unit economics over unsustainable hyper-growth.Tags: Startup, Product development, Business growth, Entrepreneurship, AI, Engine OptimizationResourcesGrow your business today:  https://links.upflip.com/the-business-startup-and-growth-blueprint-podcast Follow Our Second Channel Here: https://next.upflip.com/spotify Connect with Rei: https://www.linkedin.com/in/reivardi/

At KBIS 2026, Hearth & Home Technologies reveals how fireplaces are evolving from overlooked amenities into high-value, design-forward features that enhance both homes and builder offerings. We explore the emotional, aesthetic, and technological dimensions of modern fireplaces, from indoor-outdoor integration to bespoke U-shaped configurations. Designers, architects, and builders alike share insights on leveraging fireplaces for resale value, client engagement, and standout home experiences. Mike Swanson – Director, Segment Marketing | Hearth & Home Technologies Fireplaces are no longer just a cozy addition—they are strategic assets in home design, builder differentiation, and lifestyle storytelling. Consumer Demand & Builder Value Fireplaces rank high on buyer wish lists; 77% of homebuyers desire a fireplace. Adding a fireplace can increase home value by 10%, comparable to adding a garage. Fireplaces differentiate homes and engage buyers beyond square footage, integrating lifestyle and personality into living spaces. Design & Technology Integration Indoor and outdoor placement flexibility, including direct vent and electric fireplaces. Heat management technology enabling safe TV placement above fireplaces. Smart home integration, LED flame effects, and Wi-Fi connectivity. Design-forward considerations: feature walls, proportion, architectural integration, and bespoke finishes. Custom & Premium Solutions U-shaped, L-shaped, and multi-sided fireplaces offer signature focal points. Customization options include firebox décor, decorative panels, and the Enlight Collection's fireproof image panels. Aligning fireplace sizing with flat-panel TVs and overall home layout for maximum impact. Builder & Designer Partnerships Education and engagement through Pro Advantage series, continuing education (AIA, IDEC), and builder programs. National distribution network ensures on-time delivery and installation support. Strategies for integrating fireplaces into model homes, luxury projects, and production homes across price points. Collaboration between architects, designers, and builders to maximize aesthetic, functional, and financial value. Innovation & Future Outlook New electric and digital flame technologies (e.g., Illusion Edge, Illusion Heritage). Product refreshes every three years to maintain style-forward, timeless appeal. Continuing to expand placement possibilities and premium customization for design-forward homes. At KBIS 2026 in Orlando, Hearth & Home Technologies showcased how the modern fireplace is evolving from a standard home feature into a high-value, design-forward element that serves builders, designers, and homeowners alike. The conversation revealed that fireplaces are not just a source of warmth—they are strategic tools for engagement, differentiation, and lifestyle storytelling in residential design. Research consistently shows that fireplaces are among the most desired features in new homes, with 77% of buyers listing them as a priority. Beyond emotional appeal, fireplaces offer tangible value: they can add up to 10% to a home's resale value—equivalent to a garage—while remaining relatively accessible, starting at approximately $2,000. For builders, fireplaces help differentiate offerings in competitive markets, enhance staging appeal, and align with buyer desires for personalization and interaction. Modern fireplaces extend well beyond traditional living rooms. Hearth & Home Technologies' portfolio includes indoor, outdoor, and indoor-outdoor configurations, allowing architects and designers to integrate fireplaces into kitchens, bathrooms, ensuites, and shared spaces. Electric fireplaces offer unprecedented placement flexibility, while gas units with direct vent technology allow designers to position flames virtually anywhere without compromising air quality. Heat management innovations also enable TVs to be safely mounted above fireplaces, merging functionality with aesthetic appeal. Customization and premium finishes remain a hallmark of Hearth & Home's strategy. Their U-shaped and L-shaped designs, multi-sided fireplaces, and the Enlight Collection's fireproof image panels demonstrate the growing appetite for bespoke elements that reflect homeowners' individuality. Proportion, scale, and feature integration—such as firebox décor, stone slabs, or quartz surrounds—allow designers to create compelling focal points that harmonize with the broader home environment. Equally important is the company's commitment to builder and designer partnerships. Their Pro Advantage program, continuing education courses through AIA and IDEC, and extensive distribution network ensure that both builders and designers have the knowledge, tools, and on-site support to incorporate fireplaces seamlessly. Builders benefit from reliable supply chains and flexible pricing options, while designers gain access to innovative solutions that align with client expectations. Technology continues to play a central role in Hearth & Home's product evolution. Wi-Fi-enabled fireplaces, LED rotisserie flames, and digital flame technologies like the Illusion Edge allow homeowners to control ambiance remotely and safely. Wood-burning fireplaces adhere to EPA standards, ensuring environmentally conscious solutions for diverse markets. The company also emphasizes timeless design, prioritizing chic, intentional, and adaptable products over fleeting trends. As KBIS 2026 demonstrates, fireplaces are more than decorative features—they are emotional anchors, value drivers, and design catalysts. By combining technology, customization, and education, Hearth & Home Technologies positions the fireplace as an essential component of modern residential architecture, offering builders, designers, and homeowners a tool to elevate both experience and value.

In this episode, Brian shares an email from a military veteran who served multiple combat tours in Afghanistan and wants the world to hear a story that's been buried for three decades. Matt, as he asks to be called, writes in about a confession made to him by a fellow soldier he calls Joe during a night of drinking while the two were stateside between deployments. Joe revealed that in the mid nineteen nineties, long before the war on terror, he was part of a small specialized team dispatched into an unnamed national park after two hikers went missing.The male hiker's body was found twenty five feet up in a tree with his neck broken. The female hiker was never found. What search teams did find were massive humanoid footprints ranging from sixteen inches to nearly twenty three inches long pressed deep into the soil along a remote creek drainage. Joe's team was briefed by an unnamed civilian and given a single objective: locate and eliminate the creatures responsible.What followed was a harrowing two day hunt through old growth forest that culminated in the killing of four creatures, including a female, a juvenile estimated at around five feet tall, and a massive adult male standing over eight feet tall that charged the team and injured two soldiers before being brought down. Within hours of the kills, an unmarked black helicopter arrived carrying a civilian recovery team that bagged the bodies and flew them out to an unknown location. The soldiers were debriefed, told the mission never happened, and ordered to never speak of it again. Matt believes every word Joe told him that night, and he wants you to hear it.Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.Have you had a Bigfoot encounter, Sasquatch sighting, Dogman experience, or other cryptid or paranormal encounter?

A military operation has led to a legal battle for the ages. The deposed leader of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, appeared in a New York court this week facing federal charges after he and his wife were captured by American authorities in January. The charges include narco-terrorism, drug trafficking, and conspiracy. Earlier this week, FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony spoke with former state and federal prosecutor Jim Trusty about the case against Maduro and when this complicated trial might finally begin. Trusty also explained how these charges compare to those brought against former Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega after he was captured by the U.S. in 1989. We often have to cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you'd like to hear the entire conversation. Today on the FOX News Rundown Extra, we share our full interview with Jim Trusty, who breaks down the unique challenges of this historic case. Learn more about your ad choices.

Life keeps getting harder in Cuba as the country deals with persistent fuel shortages and power blackouts. President Trump has put the squeeze on the communist regime—which has been in power since 1959—ever since the U.S. military operation that captured Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro. The oil lifeline Venezuela had been providing to Cuba was cut off, and the President is now threatening tariffs on any country that supplies oil to the island. Earlier this week, Andrea Linares, host of FOX Noticias on FOX Deportes and YouTube, spoke with Dave Anthony about the President's pressure campaign and the ultimate U.S. objectives. She shared what she is hearing from the Cuban people and discussed the likelihood that Cuba will finally open up to foreign investment. Linares also provided an update on life in Venezuela since Maduro's capture. We often have to trim our interviews during the week, but we thought you'd like to hear the full conversation.

Jewish communities in the United States will be observing one of the most sacred holidays of their religion, Passover, with increased security measures and concerns over hateful rhetoric as the war against Iran continues. The FBI is currently conducting an investigation into a terror attack against Temple Israel, the nation's second largest Jewish congregation, in West Bloomfield, Michigan, in which a driver drove a vehicle packed with fireworks through the front doors. Other recent violent incidents have confirmed fears there has been a palpable rise in antisemitism. FOX's Tonya J. Powers speaks with Liora Rez, the executive director of StopAntisemitism, who says there too many examples that show a sharp rise in the use of tropes that claim Jews are puppeteering governments, the media and financial institutions which is raising security concerns during the holidays.

“Healthy people don't need a doctor. Sick people do.” We start there, with Luke 5, because that single line exposes a conflict that keeps showing up in our lives and in our country: the difference between people who admit sin and repent, and people who insist they are already righteous.From that foundation, we pray for real needs, not abstract ones: for marriages to be strengthened, for parents to have wisdom and courage, for perseverance in hard times, and for protection over military, law enforcement, firefighters, and EMS. Then we pivot into Genesis 9 and the command to be fruitful and multiply, using today's fertility rate decline and replacement-rate math to ask a blunt question about the future of America and Western civilization. If we want renewal, we cannot outsource it. We build it in the home, by raising children in faith and treating kids as a blessing, not a burden.We also read deeper into Luke 5, including the “new wine in old wineskins” teaching and the Sabbath confrontations that reveal how quickly religion can become performance without mercy. Psalm 66 and Proverbs 11 bring it back to worship, confession, and generosity. The conversation then widens into culture and history: a case out of the UK, an argument about assimilation and immigration, a Medal of Honor story, and a President McKinley quote on why good Christian character still matters.Subscribe for more, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.#SheridanGorman#PresidentMcKinley #DailyScripture Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribeCountryside Book Serieshttps://www.amazon.com/Countryside-Book-J-T-Cope-IV-ebook/dp/B00MPIXOB2

It has been a month since Israel, along with the US, launched strikes on Iran, leading the Middle East into yet another conflict it tried to avoid. Iran has responded by firing waves of missiles and drones, mostly towards its Gulf neighbours but also at Israel, where attacks have become increasingly disruptive. While the American public are largely divided over the war, in Israel, surveys showed the majority were in favour, at least in the beginning. But weeks later, the cost is mounting. Some of the attacks have caused damage, injuries and deaths. People's daily routines and livelihoods have been affected. Meanwhile, Lebanon has once again been drawn into conflict. In this episode of Beyond the Headlines, host Nada AlTaher looks at the effects of the war on Israeli society and the state, and asks whether public support is starting to wane. She speaks to The National's Jerusalem correspondent Thomas Helm, Tel Aviv-based political analyst Dahlia Scheindlin and Danny Citrinowicz, senior fellow at the Institute for National Security Studies.

President Trump says the U.S. is negotiating with Iran while claiming the United States is “way ahead of schedule” with military operations against the regime. However, questions are mounting in Washington over whether the military has the funding and weaponry needed to successfully end the conflict while maintaining readiness for other potential global threats. Texas GOP Congressman and retired U.S. Air Force Reserve Colonel August Pfluger joins the Rundown to discuss the president's handling of the operation and the Air Force's pivotal role. He also explains what must be done to ensure the U.S. military has the munitions and personnel necessary to fight this conflict—and future wars.

International statesmen met with technology leaders to discuss cloud infrastructure resilience, AI and automated defense systems, and the evolving dynamic between digital sovereignty and interoperability.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Ronnie Williams. Founder & CEO of Forever Staffing Healthcare Agency, a Black woman–owned healthcare staffing firm based in Green Bay, Wisconsin. She discusses her journey from CNA → HR → Entrepreneur, the challenges in healthcare staffing, the importance of strategic placement, and the growth of her company from local to national reach. Rushion McDonald guides the conversation toward themes of ambition, entrepreneurship, burnout in healthcare, pay disparities, and the mechanics of building a staffing agency from scratch. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: 1. Highlight a Black woman entrepreneur’s journey Williams shares how she transitioned from physically demanding CNA work to HR and eventually starting her own national staffing agency. 2. Educate listeners about healthcare staffing realities She explains burnout, pay issues, and staffing challenges common in the healthcare industry, especially among CNAs. 3. Offer insights on entrepreneurship and leadership She breaks down what it takes to launch and scale a staffing agency—HR, legal, budgeting, recruiting strategy, and more. 4. Provide practical information for clinicians and healthcare facilities Williams explains how candidates can join her roster and how facilities can partner with her agency. Key Takeaways 1. Ronnie’s Career Path Started as a CNA in 2000 caring for seniors and people with disabilities. Later transitioned into HR and recruiting to continue helping people in a less physically demanding way. Always felt like a leader in corporate roles and wanted to start her own business. 2. Why She Founded Forever Staffing Wanted to offer better support to healthcare facilities and clinicians. Initially intended to serve Green Bay, but national demand found her—clients from Texas and Arizona reached out organically. 3. Burnout in Healthcare She outlines the real causes of burnout: Understaffing (one caregiver for up to 25 residents). Long shifts and overtime. Emotional strain from caring for sick or end‑of‑life patients. Continuous lifting and physical demands. 4. Pay Disparities CNAs are underpaid despite being on the “front lines.” CNA pay ranges from $15–28/hr depending on setting. RN pay ranges from $33–60/hr. 5. Strategic Staffing Approach Her agency doesn’t just “post jobs”—they: Actively source candidates. Conduct phone interviews and vetting. Review background checks and confirm active certifications. 6. Easy Entry Into In‑Home Care In‑home caregiving is one of the easiest positions to fill. They can train new caregivers and help them get certified. Background checks and compassion are the primary requirements. 7. How to Work With Her Agency Clinicians:Apply via the “Apply Now” tab on ForeverStaffing.org by uploading a resume. Facilities:Use the “Become a Partner” tab to schedule a meeting for direct hire, per‑diem, last‑minute, or contract staffing. Notable Quotes from Ronnie Williams On Why She Became a CNA “I love helping people… my entire family are in the health care field. I’m a giver.” On Transitioning Out of CNA Work “Being a CNA was very physical… I wanted a career where I can still help people but on a broader side.” On Leadership and Entrepreneurship “I always felt like I was the leader. I should be hosting the meetings, implementing things.” On Pay Disparities “CNAs need more money. They do most of the physical things and I think they should get more pay.” On Expansion Beyond Wisconsin “National came out of the blue… I started getting clients in Texas and Arizona messaging me.” On Strategic Staffing “We don’t just staff—we get to know our clients… where they’re spending the most money and their hard‑to‑fill positions.” On Being Her Own Boss “The advantage is flexibility… leaving a legacy for my kids… I can build a diverse team and hire who I want.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
