A former Clare Senior Hurler who passed away tragically in the United States has been remebered as a natural leader and the life of the party everywhere he went. 40 Year-Old Anthony 'Sconey' Kilmartin died following a fall in New York last Sunday, where he'd been living for over a decade. A revered member of Newmarket-On-Fergus GAA Club, Sconey as he was affectionately known stood out from an early age. A versatile operator who could play in almost any position, Anthony won underage hurling titles at all levels with Newmarket, played for the Clare Seniors in 2007 and even won a Féile football title with the Blues. He was loved and respected even more though for his presence off the field, where he was known as a constant source of positivity, fresh ideas and motivation. Former Coach Bob Enright says every time you left Sconey, you always looked forward to the next encounter. Having lived and worked in New York for over a decade , Sconey came on board with the Clare New York Hurling Club as a manager this year. Clare New York Chairperson Seanie Dilger says he was a fantastic individual who will be deeply missed by everyone.
Want to Add Medical Wellness to Your Business?Book a free 30-minute advisor call with Scott to learn how you can add GLP-1 support, peptides, medical wellness, and related services to your business through the proper medical partnerships:https://ptlegends.com/30minadvisorcallYou can also contact Scott directly:Scott@TheProfitLifestyle.comA massive new market is emerging in the fitness and wellness industry—and business owners who continue to ignore it risk falling behind.In this episode, Scott Carpenter and Andy Miller discuss the rapidly growing number of people using GLP-1 medications and why fitness professionals need to stop judging, shaming, or avoiding this market.People using GLP-1s may be losing weight, but many are also losing strength, muscle mass, energy, and confidence because they are not receiving the nutrition, resistance training, and ongoing support they need.That creates an enormous opportunity for gym owners, coaches, and wellness professionals to step in.Even when you do not personally offer GLP-1 medications, you can still build a muscle-preservation or GLP-1 support program that helps clients maintain strength, protect lean muscle, improve their nutrition, and navigate what comes after the weight loss.Scott and Andy also explain how medical wellness services, peptides, hormone optimization, and strength training can be incorporated into a more comprehensive client journey—with the appropriate medical professionals overseeing clinical care.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why GLP-1 users represent a rapidly expanding fitness marketWhy many clients may be hiding their GLP-1 use from their trainersHow judgment and shame can push potential clients awayWhy weight loss without strength training can lead to muscle lossHow gym owners can create a GLP-1 support or muscle-preservation programWhy clients who have already lost weight may be asking, “What now?”How strength training can support long-term health, longevity, and independenceWhy fitness businesses should meet people where they areHow medical wellness and peptide services can complement fitness programsWhy this market can create both a meaningful impact and a new revenue streamHow Scott and Andy have maintained or gained muscle while reducing body fatWhy this opportunity is not the future of fitness—it is already hereThe Opportunity for Fitness ProfessionalsMany GLP-1 users are receiving a prescription without receiving a complete plan for nutrition, movement, strength training, recovery, and long-term weight maintenance.Fitness professionals are uniquely positioned to fill that gap.Instead of criticizing people for using these medications, gym owners can create a supportive environment that helps them preserve muscle, improve their strength, build sustainable habits, and maintain their results.People are already searching for this kind of support. The businesses that speak directly to their concerns may be able to reach a large, underserved market with relatively little competition.Key TakeawayYou do not have to personally agree with every decision your clients make.Your role is to meet people where they are, understand the challenges they are facing, and provide the support they need to become healthier, stronger, and more capable.GLP-1 usage is not going away. Fitness businesses can either ignore this market—or become the trusted solution these clients are already looking for.Subscribe for more strategies on growing a profitable fitness business, expanding your services, and creating a greater impact in your community.

Chad Coll just wanted to be an artist.A lax bro from Maryland without any dreams beyond that, Coll moved to the Seacoast in 2009 after joining the Coast Guard. From there, he fell in love with the area, and when his Coast Guard stint ended, he pursued a variety of jobs and hobbies that all involved making things with his hands, including making wooden spoons.Despite making these spoons for 10 years, he only started selling his wooden spoons two years ago at farmer's markets in Charlottesville, V.A., where he lived for five years.But when he moved his family back to the Seacoast last year, that's when things started to take off - mainly due to C.S. Spoon Co.'s OVERWHELMING success on social media.Today, C.S. Spoon Co. has 29,000 followers on Instagram and nearly an additional 10,000 on TikTok, and social media is by far and away the biggest driver of business for the Kittery-based small family business.From his woodworking studio in Kittery, M.E., Coll joins host Troy Farkas to discuss the explosion of the brand in 2026, why he focuses on only making wooden spoons, the inspiration behind his viral social media videos, how these spoons sell out every week, and how this business is finally allowing Coll to live the life he's always dreamt of.To shop C.S.

A Clare community services provider that suffered a break-in last week says staff are "devastated" by the incident which they've branded as "unfair". Obair on the Ennis Road in Newmarket-on-Fergus was burgled in the early hours of last Wednesday morning, with the perpetrators absconding with approximately €600 in cash. The service operates a Meals on Wheels service which caters to over 300 people five days a week, while the building also contains a creche, an afterschool and post-primary programme, remote working hubs, a youth café and an environmental section. Siobhan Griffin, who works for Obair, says the burglary is particularly upsetting in the context of the positive work the organisation does in the community.

Has PSA's submission pause unintentionally created an entirely new market? Jeremy Lee, Chris HOJ, and Chad Hawk explore one of the most thought-provoking ideas to emerge from the grading discussion: could the hobby be witnessing the rise of the "soft slab"? With grading companies facing unprecedented demand, the panel discusses whether intermediate services like GCC, Beckett's former Raw Card Review, and other condition assessment products could become a permanent part of the hobby landscape rather than simply filling a temporary gap. The conversation examines how innovation often begins during periods of disruption, why competition ultimately benefits collectors, and whether a new category of grading services could thrive alongside traditional encapsulation.

***TRIGGER WARNING*** This podcast contains discussion of suicide. Listener discretion is advised.It's a miracle that Victoria Arlen is still here.Before the age of 10, she entered into a vegetative state after getting diagnosed with two rare neurodegenerative diseases. From there, the Exeter, N.H. native lived incapacitated for four years, with doctors and nurses instructing Arlen's parents to accept that their daughter wouldn't live much longer.Then, on a day that continues to baffle medical professionals everywhere, she emerged from this state. And since then, against all odds, she's taken the world by storm in the form of gold medals at the 2012 Paralympic Games, a run on ABC's Dancing With The Stars, a stellar motivational speaking career, a 10-year tenure as an anchor for ESPN, and now, a two-time author. The 31-year-old's most recent book, The View Is Worth It, published in the spring, and it's her firsthand account of how she's navigated anxiety, depression, and the weight of expectations placed upon her when she was asked to be hero without ever having worn a cape.From The Unmuted Room in Newington, N.H., Arlen joins host Troy Farkas for a wide-ranging discussion about Arlen's Seacoast roots, the experience of being "locked in" to her body for four years, the abuse she experienced at the hands of doctors and nurses, and how she miraculously emerged from the state.Plus, how she became the youngest on-air talent in ESPN history, her stint on DWTS, and the lengthy battle with mental health issues that inspired her latest book, and, in 2021, nearly led her to take her own life.CHAPTERS: Victoria's favorite Seacoast hangs (00:00)Spending four years in a vegetative state (10:37)Getting abused by doctors & nurses (31:06)SPONSOR: JOBTALK LLC (35:25)Learning how to live a normal life again (37:05)Winning gold at the 2012 Paralympics (40:50)The mental health toll of success & suicide attempt (48:53)Victoria's favorite tips & tricks for navigating mental health (01:06:36)SPONSOR: Budget Blinds of the Seacoast (01:19:05)DWTS appearance & becoming an ESPN anchor (01:20:20)SPONSORS: JOBTALK LLC: Get 50% off JOBTALK Academy courses with the code "SEACOASTSTORIES50" for the rest of 2026!Budget Blinds of the Seacoast: Keep the Seacoast sun out of your home!

Wrestler Mitch Paradise discusses the Under the Big Top 9 wrestling event on Friday, June 26th at The Doublewide in New Market.
The Ogunquit Playhouse is not just some theater on the side of the road in Ogunquit, Maine.Every summer for the last 93 years, this "little white box" in one of New England's most eclectic cultural hubs has played home to world premieres of global theatrical sensations, many of which later make their way to the stages of Broadway and London's famed West End. The actors and actresses whom Ogunquit attracts have shelves filled with Tony Awards, ditto for the world-class behind-the-scenes crew members. And perhaps best of all, its $18M annual operating budget allows the Playhouse to pay above-average wages to talented artists in a field notorious for failing to provide a meaningful living.And now, as the Playhouse inches closer to its 100th season on the Seacoast, the not-for-profit entertainment venue has its eyes on the next century, and how the theater can adapt to survive an increasingly difficult artistic climate.From the historic main stage of The Ogunquit Playhouse, Technical Director Geof Dolan (20 years) and Executive Artistic Director Brad Kenney (21 years) sit down with host Troy Farkas to discuss the origins of the summer theater in America, how the Playhouse established itself as a world leader in theater, the caliber of talent they attract every summer, how they choose which shows to put on each year, what the Playhouse means to the Seacoast, the theater's ambitious plans for the next century, and more.For their full summer schedule, please visit OgunquitPlayhouse.org for more details.CHAPTERS:The decorated 93-year history of The Ogunquit Playhouse (00:00)Why Ogunquit Playhouse is an anomaly in the theater industry (16:00)Does the Seacoast understand just how world-class the Playhouse is?

The world is burning down.At least, that's what the modern media landscape convinces you into thinking. But what if there were a different way to present the news? What if, instead of focusing on all the negative, we actually celebrated the thousands of milestones and mini-victories happening each and every day?Andy DeMeo asked himself that question two years ago. Then, he founded Granite Goodness - a podcast, newsletter, social media brand, and fast-growing media company dedicated to telling the good news that's happening across all of New England.His work with Granite Goodness garnered DeMeo the 2025 Stay Work Play Young Person of the Year award, the 2025 Catapult Seacoast 10 to Watch award, and NH Union Leader 40 Under 40 award. He travels across New Hampshire, hosting panels and leading talks where he shouts from the rooftops about just how good the world actually is, and why we should all be more optimistic about the state of things.In this Season 5 launch week bonus episode, DeMeo FINALLY joins host Troy Farkas - exactly two years after they launched their own platforms on THE SAME DAY - for a conversation about the ethos driving Granite Goodness, how DeMeo stumbled into the world of "progress journalism," some very positive recent stories in New Hampshire and Maine, and how he's managed to turn Granite Goodness from hobby into a full-time career.To join the Optimists Club, visit GraniteGoodness.com for details.CHAPTERS:Andy DeMeo's accomplished resume (00:00)Do Troy and Andy hate each other?

Vendor channel consolidation continues to restructure the MSP landscape, with private equity-backed rollups driving both market concentration at the top and increased deal volume. This episode centers on the sale of Worksighted, a 25-year-old, $27 million revenue MSP with strong vertical focus in healthcare and construction, to Thrive in a 35-day close. The structural mechanism at play is an increasing market segmentation where larger MSPs systematically acquire or merge with similarly sized providers, often leaving a gap for smaller operators as larger entities move upmarket. Primary evidence for this consolidation includes direct transaction data and workflow. According to Abraham Garver, his team handled 132 vetted buyer candidates for Worksighted, resulting in eight competitive offers after 76 signed NDAs. Thrive, having completed 27 MSP acquisitions, was able to accelerate the deal's timeline due to deep experience and preparation by both buyer and seller. The trend is further supported by Q2 market updates indicating 22 U.S. MSPs likely to come to market in 2026 and over 120 M&A transactions in Q1 alone, as reported by Drake Star. Related developments highlight the bifurcation of deal opportunities by provider size and the associated liquidity for MSPs. Private equity buyers increasingly favor acquisitions with a minimum of $3 million in revenue and $500,000 in EBITDA, while smaller MSPs are more commonly left to pursue peer-to-peer mergers or organic growth strategies. The episode also addresses the operational pitfalls of optimizing solely for high recurring revenue percentages, with evidence suggesting buyers offer premiums for organic growth and new client acquisition rather than rigid recurring revenue thresholds. For operators, these dynamics generate clear tradeoffs and risks. Larger MSPs face the challenge of integrating acquired firms and potentially divesting smaller clients who do not meet their revised minimums. Smaller MSPs may find opportunity by acquiring divested clients or targeting niche segments that fall beneath larger consolidators' thresholds. For all providers, the importance of thorough preparation, clean financials, and strategic clarity on post-transaction roles emerges as a key safeguard against value loss and disruption. Rigid adherence to target metrics not grounded in buyer behavior—such as focusing excessively on monthly recurring revenue—carries the risk of reduced flexibility and diminished exit prospects.

In this episode we explain what is needed and what your options are for adding Ciro lighting to your 2024 and newer Harley-Davidson touring model with the new IFCU infotainment system. If you own a 2024 or newer Harley-Davidson touring motorcycle and you're looking to upgrade your rear lighting, it's important to understand how the Ciro lighting system works before you start buying parts. Harley's newer electrical architecture changed the game, and that means riders need to know which components are required, how the different products connect, and what options are available for basic or advanced functionality. We break down exactly how Ciro lighting for Harley-Davidson motorcycles works, what products are needed, and how to choose the right setup for your bike. We'll also highlight the individual Ciro products discussed in the video so you can easily link them to the Law Abiding Biker Store. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE The 2024 and newer Harley-Davidson touring models introduced major changes to the bike's electrical system. Because of those updates, adding aftermarket lights is not as simple as it was on previous Harley-Davidson models. That is why riders need to understand the Ciro system before purchasing. The good news is that Ciro engineered a clean, plug-and-play style solution that works with these newer Harley touring bikes. Once you understand the system, it becomes much easier to plan your lighting build and choose the right components the first time. If you are adding Harley-Davidson rear lighting, improving visibility, cleaning up the rear of the bike, or building a custom look, this guide will help you avoid confusion and get the setup you actually want. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! The most important thing to understand is that your first Ciro lighting purchase determines how your system will function moving forward. When adding Ciro lights to a 2024+ Harley-Davidson touring bike, you generally need to choose between: Ciro Lightstrike Commander Ciro Standard Adapter That first decision matters because it determines whether you'll have only basic lighting functionality or full app-based customization and expandability. If you are building out a lighting package for your Harley, this is the foundation of the entire system. The Ciro Lightstrike Commander is the advanced option and is often the best choice for riders who want a more customizable setup. This component acts like the brain of the lighting system. It allows your Ciro lights to integrate with the bike while also unlocking the Ciro Lightstrike app. With the app, you can access more advanced functionality and customize supported lighting products individually. That means the Ciro Lightstrike Commander for Harley-Davidson gives you more than simple run, turn, and brake lighting. It opens up added control over supported lighting features, light behavior, and customization options depending on the products installed on your motorcycle. If you think you may add more Ciro products in the future, the Lightstrike Commander is a smart long-term investment because you only need to buy it once.

Clean fit, quality finish, and customer service that actually answers. We run their gear on our own Harleys because we trust it. The Ciro Standard Adapter is the simpler route for riders who want straightforward lighting without app control or advanced programming and it comes standard within the lighting kits. If you choose the standard adapter, your supported Ciro lights will provide basic run, turn, and brake functionality. For many riders, that may be enough. If your goal is simply to add visibility and a cleaner rear lighting appearance on your Harley-Davidson, this option can work very well. However, it is important to understand what you are not getting. The standard adapter does not provide access to the app-based Lightstrike features. So if you want greater flexibility, deeper customization, or plan to build a more elaborate lighting system later, the Lightstrike New Patrons: Nick Jackson of Gillette, Wyoming (Patron Member Gary Jackson's son) Tolleigh Capps of New Market, Tennessee Chris Derr of Greenville, Ohio If you are trying to decide which Ciro components to buy, think about your long-term goals for the bike. If you only want basic run, turn, and brake lighting, then the Ciro Standard Adapter may be enough and it's included in the Ciro lighting kits. If you want app-based control, added customization, then the Ciro Lightstrike Commander is the better choice. If you want one of the easiest starting points, the Ciro Filler Panel Lights are especially appealing because they can work in a basic plug-and-play fashion while still allowing for future Lightstrike integration. That is why understanding the system first is so important. It helps you spend money once, buy the right parts, and build your Harley lighting system the way you actually want it.

Some coworking operators close one space and swear they'll never do it again. Matt Ervin closed his first coworking space during COVID...packed up his family, drove from California to Chicago in the middle of the pandemic...and opened another one anyway. Matt and I go way back to our CrossFit days in the Bay Area. We used to do Murph together, and I still remember him air squatting faster than everyone else while we talked about his idea to open a coworking space in Menlo Park. At the time, he and his wife Meg were trying to solve a very real problem: how do you create beautiful, welcoming workspace for therapists and small businesses without the cold, corporate feel? That idea became Cocial in Menlo Park. Then came COVID. This episode is packed with gems for operators: How Matt turned a massive curved-window flex space into an events business with 100+ events a year Why community matters more than ever in suburban coworking markets What operators miss when they focus only on desks and offices instead of creating a culture people want to belong to How he bootstrapped both spaces, negotiated free rent and TI, and built the first location himself with "burritos and beers" labor One of my favorite parts of this conversation is how much heart Matt brings to the business. You can feel how deeply he cares about creating spaces where people feel comfortable, connected, and supported. If you're thinking about suburban coworking, events, hospitality, or simply what it takes to start over and build again, this one is worth your time.
