Podcasts about OB

Starting off the last day before game day Nuño and OB point out that personal attacks are not okay + What OB expects to see from the Aggies tomorrow.

Sandra Birchmore was 12 years old when she applied to the Stoughton Police Explorers in March 2010. Matthew Farwell, the former Stoughton officer charged with killing her, was an instructor there. Part 1 of the Sandra Birchmore story is what the department's own records, the FBI, and the state's police-standards commission say happened inside that program, and how it ended on the night of February 1, 2021.The Explorers post was run by Robert Devine, who rose to deputy chief, was demoted after an internal probe found he'd lied, and stayed on the force. The department's 2022 report found Devine, Matthew Farwell, and his twin William all had inappropriate relationships with Sandra. It dated Matthew's to the spring of 2013, when she was 15. A fourth town employee, the animal control officer, admitted an encounter of his own. The state has charged none of them.Prosecutors cite texts in which Farwell told Sandra to clear out their messages in 2019 and confirmed he'd be on the clock when he came by in November 2020. In December she told him she was pregnant. Friends told the FBI about a headlock, a shove over a sonogram, and a wish that she would die. She scheduled her OB appointment for February 10 and planned a Valentine's Day announcement.On January 20, 2021, a friend called the Stoughton Police Department to report Farwell; the FBI says the call reached him within the department. On February 1, the night before his wife gave birth, building video shows him walking into Sandra's building hooded and masked and walking out less than half an hour later. Prosecutors allege strangulation and a staged hanging. Farwell has pleaded not guilty and says she died by suicide. His federal trial opens October 5, 2026.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Getting ready for the 150th on Satrday on the Go Hour as Nuño and OB talk their Heisman watch list + Former Aggie QB Stephen McGee on where he sees the weak points in the Aggie team.

Die Energie der aktuellen Folge wird vom Hersteller heute in Linnemann angegeben. Diese bewegt sich erfreulicherweise bereits im ersten Teil im oberen Bereich und stabilisiert sich im weiteren Verlauf zu einer neun von zehn auf der „Einfach mal machen“-Skala. Nicht zuletzt dazu beigetragen hat in dieser Woche Dr. Thomas Schmitt, der frei nach dem Motto „Never let them know your next move“, am Wochenende insgesamt zwölf Stunden Zug gefahren ist, nur um EINMAL IM LEBEN die Backstreet Boys zu sehen. Ich sehe ein, zwei Hände nach oben gehen und gestatte an dieser Stelle ausnahmsweise eine Leserfrage! Bitte? Ob es einen Dresscode für das Konzert gab und ob sich Schmitt auch komplett weiß angezogen hat? Ja, das kann ich Ihnen bestätigen. Seit Jahren probieren wir, ihn am Wochenende aus dem Haus zu locken, aber dass ausgerechnet eine „ALL WHITE Party“ in einer Düsseldorfer Mehrzweckhalle den Puls hochfährt, hatten wir so nicht auf unserer Bingo-Karte. Wem dieser Character Switch nun psychologisch zu anstrengend war, kann seine Nerven mit Jakobs Beständigkeit wieder beruhigen. Er hört, dass Pfeife mit seinen Eltern einen Campingausflug unternommen hat und gibt sich nicht mal Mühe, seine Abscheu und seinen Ekel darüber zurückzuhalten. Klaas erzählt davon, wie er im Kanzleramt auf dem Weg zum Klo mal einen Picasso erkannt hat, OBWOHL er natürlich, wie immer bei Zusammentreffen mit diversen Bundeskanzlern, sich bereits amtlich einen reingegorgelt hatte. Eins noch: Wenn Sie nach dieser Folge, ähnlich wie ein Zuschauer nach Carsten Linnemanns Bürgerdialogshow in Osnabrück, sagen: „Also irgendwie hab ich mir davon mehr versprochen!“, möchte ich Sie darauf hinweisen, dass wir zu keinem Zeitpunkt etwas anderes als DAS HIER versprochen haben.

The Go Hour With Nuño and OB as they talk about what needs to improve before Saturday's game + Former A&M tight end Max Wright details what steps the Aggies need to take before facing off agains the razorbacks.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. -------------------- 01 Introduction This is the fourth episode in an 8 part series. 02 In the previous episode we looked at the Allen Bradley PLC2, one of the very early successful Programmable Logic Controllers. In this episode we will look at another early PLC, the Siemens S5 series, and use it as an example of both how PLCs became more sophisticated, as well as an example of a different approach to the overall software architecture. Again, I will only touch on this topic lightly, this is not a course on how to program PLCs. However, I will give you enough technical detail to give you are rough idea of what they were like. -------------------- 03 S5 Historical Background Siemens are the largest PLC vendor on a global basis, and have been since the early days. Their first PLC was the S3, released in 1975, two years before Allen Bradley released the PLC2. There seems to be almost no information available on the S3, so I can't say much about it. In 1978 or 1979, sources are unclear about the exact date, Siemens released the S5 series. This was a huge step forward in capability and was the foundation of their PLC product line until replaced by the S7 series in the mid 1990s. In this episode I will focus on the U series, which were an upgrade to the original S5. -------------------- 04 A Complete Family of PLCs Fully developed, the Siemens S5 series was a complete family of products covering the entire size spectrum from smallest to largest. Siemens covered the entire industrial control market, and there was almost nothing they didn't have somewhere in their catalogue. You could spend an entire career using nothing but Siemens products for everything. 05 At the lowest end were the S5-100 series, consisting of the S5-100, 102, 103, 90, and 95. These covered everything from the small "shoebox" all in one form factor to ones which overlapped the mid range in terms of capability except for their compact I/O cards which were smaller and slower than the full size models. The S5-115 formed the mid range, coming in a "full size" form factor in terms of packaging and rack size. The S5-135 and S5-155 extended the S5-115 in terms of speed and memory. 06 In this episode I will focus on the lower end S5-100 series for the sake of simplicity, and will not make any reference to any additional capabilities of the larger models. It will be much too time consuming and confusing to try to cover everything, and there wouldn't be much point to it. -------------------- 07 Data Memory Types If you recall the previous episode, the Allen Bradley PLC2 had a data table, or memory system, that was a single linear range of memory with all I/O and internal capabilities mapped into fixed numerical addresses. Allen Bradley were to abandon this approach in their later PLC5 series introduced in the mid to late 1980s, but we won't cover that here. The Siemens S5 series however took the approach of having different types of memory addresses for different purposes. I will describe those for the S5-100 series now. 08 Input and Output Addresses The standard I/O modules for these compact PLCs had 8 inputs or 8 outputs per I/O module. These module plugged into a flat bus (as opposed to an enclosed rack) with slots numbered from 0 through 31 in decimal. Each of these slots had an associated byte number, and each I/O point on the individual modules had a bit number. 09 Input and output addresses had the following format. Letter , number, decimal point, number. The letter was either I or Q. I indicated inputs. Q indicated outputs. The first number was the byte number, which corresponded to the physical I/O module slot. The second number was the bit number within the byte, starting from zero. 10 So "I2.3" indicated an input module located in the third slot (numbered from zero) and addressed the fourth input (numbered from zero) on that module. Outputs worked the same way. For example "Q 5.1" 11 Analogue modules could be located slots 0 through 7. Analogue if you recall, refers to voltages which have varying levels rather than just on or off, and can represent things like temperature. Each analogue module was assigned 8 bytes per slot, starting at address 64 and going up to 127. In practice many of these so called "analogue" modules had nothing to do with actual analogue voltages, but rather any advanced module which needed more address space was used here. Even later high density digital I/O used these addresses. 12 Each of these addresses could be addressed as bytes or words. In this case input bytes were indicated by an "IB" prefix, and input words were indicated by a "IW" prefix. Output bytes used a "QB" prefix and output words used a "QW" prefix. 13 Flags Flags are individual bits of internal memory that are used for storing intermediate logic values. These began with an "F" prefix. An S5-103 had a total of 2048, numbered from F0.0 to F255.7. 14 Counters Counters started with a "C" prefix. An S5-103 had 128 of these numbered from C0 to C127. 15 Timers Timers started with a "T" prefix. An S5-103 had 128 of these numbered from T0 to T127. 16 Data Blocks Programs needing to deal with byte and word memory could create what were known as "Data Blocks". These were blocks of PLC memory that could be created as the discretion of the programmer. An S5-103 could have a maximum of 254 data blocks numbered from DB2 to DB255. Two additional data blocks were reserved for the PLC's internal operations. Data blocks could contain up to 255 16 bit words. 17 However, the actual number and size of data blocks would in practice be limited by available memory. Even 20 kilo bytes was considered to be a large memory, and this had to be shared with the program. A data block would be "called" to make it the current data block. Then individual words would be addressed with the "DW" prefix. For example "DW5". -------------------- 18 Program Blocks If you recall with the PLC2, there was a "main" program and a series of optional numbered subroutines. In the S5, programs were split into "blocks". These were Organization Blocks Program Blocks Function Blocks Sequence Blocks An S5-103 could have up to 256 of each of these blocks. 19 Organization Blocks When the PLC started up, it would look for Organization Block 1 and begin execution there. You could consider this to be the equivalent of the "main" function in a C program. Organization blocks had an OB prefix. For example OB1. With a very simple program in a very small S5 PLC, all of the program logic could be simply put in OB1. However, with larger programs , it was convention to put the logic in subroutines and simply have OB1 call each subroutine. 20 Program Blocks These had a PB prefix. For example PB10. Normal ladder logic style programming would go in these. It was convention to split up a program into pieces and put piece in its own program block. Normal practice was to have a program block correspond to a particular part of the machine. 21 Function Blocks These had an FB prefix. For example FB64. Function blocks differed from program blocks in that they could take parameters. This allowed you to write an FB that performed some sort of complex data transforms and re-use it by calling it with different parameters. Some instructions could only be used in FBs, not in other types of blocks. There were also built in FBs in some CPU models which performed certain operations such as converting BCD (or Binary Coded Decimal) to normal integer. 22 Sequence Blocks These has an SB prefix. For example, SB25. These were like PBs, but were intended for controlling sequences of operations where each SB performed as single step of the sequence and multiple blocks were used for a sequence. -------------------- 23 Programming Languages The S5 series offered four different programming languages. These were Ladder (abbreviated as LAD) Statement List (abbreviated as STL) Control System Flowchart (abbreviated as SCF) GRAPH 5 24 You should be familiar with ladder if you listened to previous episodes. Briefly however, it is a graphical programming language which followed the appearance of electrical ladder wiring diagrams which were familiar to engineers, technicians and electricians working with manufacturing equipment. 25 Statement List is a text based programming language which resembles an assembly language for an abstract processor architecture. Boolean logic results were calculated and saved on a stack, while integer values were operated on directly from memory or in two accumulators, ACCU1 and ACCU 2. 26 Control System Flowchart is a graphical language that takes the form of rectangular blocks with one or more inputs and an output. These blocks are laid out on a screen and then wired together rather like logic gates in a electronic schematic. 27 GRAPH 5 is Siemens' implementation of the GRAFCET (Graphe Fonctionnel de Commande Étapes Transitions) IEC 60848 flow chart standard. The IEC are the International Electrotechnical Commission, an international standards organization. 28 I will focus on Ladder and Statement List, as these were by far the most commonly used and we have limited time to discuss the S5. -------------------- 29 Statement List As mentioned above, Statement List can be thought of as the assembly language for an abstract CPU architecture. The firmware in the S5 PLC will run the instructions in an interpreter. 30 The RLO Boolean or bit oriented instructions operate on a logic stack known as the RLO, or Result of Logic Operation. Boolean operations typically take one operand. When a boolean operation is executed, if the RLO is empty it simply loads the operand onto the RLO. If the RLO is not empty, then the instruction is executed using the operand and the RLO, and the result replaces the value on the top of the RLO stack. Some boolean instructions do not take an operand, but rather work on the two topmost values on the RLO. If you are familiar with languages such as FORTH, this should sound very familiar. 31 The Accumulators Word oriented instructions work on two accumulators, ACCU 1 and ACCU 2. A load instruction will load a word or byte value from a memory location or a constant into ACCU 1. The value that was in ACCU 1 then gets shifted into ACCU 2. A transfer instruction will write the value in ACCU 1 to memory. The remaining word oriented instructions will operate on the values in ACCU 1 and ACCU 2, and place their result in ACCU 1, overwriting the existing contents. So for example, an add instruction will add the value in ACCU 2 to the value in ACCU 1, leaving the sum in ACCU 1. 32 Ladder As mentioned above, ladder is a graphical programming language which has the appearance of an electrical control ladder diagram as used with actual relays. The is by far the most common programming language used with PLCs. A ladder program however is just another way of presenting statement list. 33 To put it another way, a statement list program can be displayed on a computer screen as either lines of text, or a graphical symbols laid out in a meaningful pattern. All valid ladder programs can be represented as statement list. However, not all valid statement list sequences can be represented as ladder. Statement list is inherently more flexible than ladder, which means that you simply can't always translate both ways fully. 34 None the less, most typical control logic can be represented as ladder, and ladder is the preferred representation as it is quicker to understand at a glance when debugging a software or hardware problem. On the other hand, some statement list instructions have no ladder equivalent, or the algorithm may not lend itself to being represented in ladder. In these cases normal practice is to put the simple control logic in ladder in Program Blocks, and put the non-translatable statement list logic in Function Blocks. 35 Control System Flowchart and GRAPH 5 Like ladder, CSF and GRAPH 5 are actually implemented in statement list, and many of the considerations mentioned above apply to those as well. However, I won't go into any further detail on these here. -------------------- 36 Programming Software and Hardware There were two ways of entering a program into an S5 PLC. One way was the hand held programming terminal. The other was via the STEP 5 programming software. 37 Hand Held Terminal Like many if not most PLC vendors, Siemens sold a hand held programming terminal. There were a series of these, an example being the PG 605. This was a box like a large calculator which had buttons and a small display. The buttons corresponded to various instructions and a numeric keypad, and the display would show the current instruction being entered. To use it you would plug a cable attached to the hand held terminal into the programming port on the front of the PLC CPU module. You could then enter or view the program, one instruction at a time. 38 STEP 5 Programming Software The other way of programming was to use software running on a PC. Siemens called their software STEP 5. This was an integrated editing and debugging program. Originally it ran on CP/M. 39 Siemens sold their own portable PCs with the software preloaded, and with additional built in hardware features such as an EPROM burner. These computers were also known as "PGs". STEP 5 was later ported to MS-DOS by running it on a CP/M emulator which people would use to run it on an off the shelf PC such as a laptop. Later still a native MS-DOS port was produced. 40 This had modes for Statement List. Ladder, and Control System Flowchart. GRAPH 5 was a separate program. You could toggle between STL, LAD, and CSF modes, and if the software could translate what was there form one mode to another, it would. 41 The PC would be connected to the PLC by a cable which had an interface box in the middle. This could be used to download a program to the PLC, upload a program to take a backup, modify a running program, or debug a running program. -------------------- 42 Instructions I won't list all the instructions, as that would take too long. I will instead give a brief overview of them. I will deliberately skip over obscure instructions that would take too long to explain. 43 Basic Operations Boolean Operations There is a full set of boolean operations including and, and not, or, or not, set, reset, and assign. The assign operation would assign the RLO value to the address of the specified operand. 44 Load and Transfer The Load instruction would load the value of a memory address word or byte or a constant into accumulator 1. There are about 2 dozen variations on the load instruction. The transfer operation would write a word or byte from accumulator 1 into memory. There are about a dozen variations of the transfer operation. 45 Timers and Counters There are 5 different types of timers. Timers take the value in accumulator 1 as their preset when started. There are up counters and down counters, which count up and down respectively. Again, these take the value in accumulator 1 as the preset. 46 Arithmetic Operations The only native arithmetic operations in the S5-100U series are addition and subtraction. These add or subtract the values in accumulator 1 and 2. Another set of add instructions allows adding a constant. However, the 103 and 95 CPUs offered integer multiple and divide as integrated function blocks, FB242 and FB243. You would call these function blocks with the desired parameters and they would return their results in other parameters. 47 Comparison Operations There are a complete set of integer comparison operations which operate on the values in the two accumulators. These include greater than, greater than or equal to, etc. The boolean result is saved on the RLO. 48 Block Call and Return There is a complete set of unconditional and conditional call operations to call all of the various types of blocks. There are also unconditional and conditional return operations. Calling a data block makes it the current data block, for load and transfer operations on data words 49 NOP or No Op As implied these instructions have no result. 50 Stop This stops the program executing 51 Binary Word Operations These operate on words in the accumulators. These include AND, OR, XOR, Shift Left, and Shift Right. 52 Bit Operations These test, set, or reset individual bits in data words or in timers and counters. 53 Conversion Instructions There are instructions to perform one's complement or two's complement of the value in accumulator 1. 54 Jump Operations There are unconditional and conditional operations to jump forward or back to a label. This is equivalent to a GOTO operation. 55 Indirect Addressing or "DO" operations These instructions allow jumping to a block or selecting a data word or flag word according to a number stored in another address. Essentially, these instructions are like pointers. 56 Miscellaneous There are also various other instructions that do things like copy blocks of words, or swap the contents of the accumulators, 57 Other Instructions There are still more instructions which I have skipped over as it would take too much time to explain them. 58 Instruction Summary As you can see the S5 PLC offers a very comprehensive set of operations which go well beyond what most people would think of as what a PLC does. This is a very powerful instruction set. 59 On the one hand this is a good thing, as you can do nearly anything. On the other hand, this is a bad thing, as some people take this as license to do nearly anything. In the hands of the wrong person, this results in a complex mass of spaghetti code that not even the person who wrote it can figure out later. 60 This goes against the philosophy of PLC programming, which is to make things as simple and obvious as possible. With a PLC program, perfection is achieved not when it has as many advanced features as possible, but rather when it is not possible to make it any simpler. 61 While Siemens gave the programmer a range of powerful low level instructions from which he could construct nearly anything, many other vendors took a different approach. They instead studied what was needed in major market segments and provided the programmer with instructions that operated at a higher level of abstraction, allowing programs to be written in less time and with fewer instructions. -------------------- 62 Execution Speed Execution speed of instructions varied depending on the PLC CPU model. Here are some typical values for the low end S5-100 series CPUs. 63 A boolean AND instruction executed in 70 microseconds on a S5-100U, or in 4 microseconds on an S5-102U, or in 1.6 microseconds on an S5-103U. 64 Adding two words in the accumulators executed in 55 microseconds on a S5-100U, or in 23 microseconds on an S5-102U, or in 1.6 microseconds on an S5-103U. 65 The S5-103U had a custom logic coprocessor chip, known as the M5. Instructions that were executed on the M5 coprocessor tended to take a uniform 1.6 microseconds. However, complex instructions that were not executed on the M5 coprocessor were often slower than on CPUs that didn't have a coprocessor, such as the 100 or 102. I suspect this is due to some sort of overhead relating to coordination of the two processors. 66 However, most instructions in a normal program are boolean logic, so very fast boolean execution time is what matters. Since every instruction is executed every scan cycle, large programs require faster instruction execution in order to keep up with demand. -------------------- 67 The S7 Series Replaces the S5 In the mid 1990s, Siemens began introducing the S7 series which would ultimately replace the S5, although that took a number of years to happen. 68 The hardware was all new, but from a programmer's perspective, the S7 was an evolution of the S5. Some statement list instructions were dropped and others were added. Most of the basic concepts however remained the same. Porting an S5 program to an S7 was a complete re-write, but it was a fairly straightforward one. 69 The exception to this was the S7-200 series, which came into Siemens from the outside as part of their take over of of the PLC division of Texas Instruments. The S7-200 was an American knock off of a Japanese PLC and sold as a German product. It was none the less an excellent PLC and sold in very large numbers. The S7-200 was eventually replaced by something that was compatible with the rest of the S7 line 70 The S7 series has gone through a number of hardware revisions and remains Siemens' main PLC line today. It can via the S5 trace its lineage back to the 1970s and the early days of PLCs. -------------------- 71 Other Developments Japanese PLC Vendors I haven't covered any Japanese PLC vendors in the same way that I covered the PLC2 or S5. I had planned on doing another episode on one but I don't think it would really add much to what we have already discussed. However, PLCs from Japan are among the top sellers world wide and are generally very highly regarded. 72 Pace of Innovation In terms of general history across the industry, in the early days of PLCs evolution was fairly rapid. Later on, innovation slowed down as compatibility with the existing install base became a bigger factor. Technology has become fairly static, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing from a business perspective. I will return to this subject later however. -------------------- 73 Conclusion In this episode we covered the Siemens S5 series of PLCs. We covered the history of the S5, it memory and addressing, the different types of subroutines, programming languages, the instructions, and how it was succeeded by the S7 series. 74 We saw how PLCs had rapidly evolved from their very early relay-replacement origins to become powerful programmable devices. In the next episode we will look at I/O modules and how they allow a PLC CPU to interface to hardware and control machines. 75 This has been the fourth episode in an 8 part series. -------------------- Provide feedback on this episode.

Er ist der Creator, dem die BVB-Profis vertrauen. Seit sieben Jahren dreht und schneidet Minh Tran Videos für die Kanäle von Borussia Dortmund. Vor allem für YouTube. BVB-Fans kennen Minh von seinen Vlogs oder aus dem Erfolgsformat „Inside Champions League“. Ist das ein Traumjob? So nah an den Profis, so nah an der Action auf dem Platz! In der aktuellen Folge von „Flutlicht & Flipcharts“ wird klar, dass Minh für all diese exklusiven Zugänge erst mal kämpfen musste. Er hat in den sieben Jahren Türen geöffnet, die zunächst verschlossen waren. Davon profitieren jetzt die BVB-Fans, denen der Content Creator mit seiner Kamera Einblicke ermöglicht, die nur wenige bekommen. Die Nähe zum Profikader der Männer hat auch dafür gesorgt, dass Freundschaften entstanden sind: etwa zu Karim Adeyemi, Julian Brandt oder Maximilian Beier. Dieses Trio gibt es seit dem Sommer nicht mehr beim BVB. Ob und wie Minh den Kontakt nach Barcelona oder Amsterdam aufrecht hält, erzählt er den beiden Hosts Boris Davidovski und Christoph Bökamp.

Am 1. Oktober 1926, heute vor 100 Jahren, wurden in Berlin an mehreren Kreuzungen die ersten Verkehrsampeln in Betrieb genommen. Wie beschaulich und übersichtlich muss wohl damals der Straßenverkehr gewesen sein. Heute gibt es in Berlin weit über 8000, deutschlandweit sogar rund 131 000 Ampeln. Vielleicht zeigen solche Zahlen, wie Betriebsamkeit und Unrast im Laufe der Jahre zugenommen haben. Der Mensch kommt nicht mehr zur Ruhe und vielleicht sind wir Deutschen noch umtriebiger als andere Nationen. Ob beim Autofahren oder an der Supermarktkasse, keiner hat mehr Zeit. Diese Unruhe und die immer wiederkehrenden Herausforderungen führen zu körperlichen und seelischen Reaktionen. Es ist schwer für uns Menschen, aus diesem System auszubrechen, obwohl wir es doch so gerne möchten. Haben wir es einmal geschafft, holt uns der hektische Alltag schnell wieder ein. Wir »retten« uns hin zum freien Wochenende oder zum längeren Urlaub. Doch verpufft der Effekt der erholsamen Auszeit danach schnell, wenn wir uns wieder in das Getümmel des Alltages hineinstürzen.Meine Ehefrau Karin liest jeden Morgen unter anderem eine Andacht aus dem kleinen Büchlein »Zeit mit Gott«, um ihren Tag mit Gedanken über Jesus zu beginnen und Kraft für die bevorstehenden Stunden zu erhalten. Gebet rundet diese »Zeit mit Gott« ab. Auch ich beschäftige mich immer zu Tagesbeginn mit meiner Bibel. Hier finde ich Ruhe, Sicherheit und Kraft für die Aufgaben, die heute vor mir liegen. Hier begegne ich Jesus.Vor Gott, unserem Schöpfer, zur Ruhe zu kommen, ist eine runde Sache. Er weiß am besten, was gut und richtig für uns ist. Die Bibel – für viele das verstaubte, alte Buch – zur Hand zu nehmen, wird auch Ihnen helfen, Ihr Leben richtig auszurichten!Axel SchneiderDiese und viele weitere Andachten online lesenWeitere Informationen zu »Leben ist mehr« erhalten Sie unter www.lebenistmehr.de

Ricci hat ein Problem: Ihr Lehrer möchte ein Elterngespräch. Und ihre Mutter will den Lehrer zum Essen einladen. Beides ist eine Katastrophe! (Ab 8 Jahren) Zugegeben: In der Schule könnte es für Ricci besser laufen. Aber muss deshalb gleich ein Elterngespräch her? Das Problem: Riccis Mutter spricht nur Portugiesisch. Deshalb muss Ricci immer alles übersetzen. Das nervt. Oder könnte es diesmal auch ein Vorteil sein? Wenn Ricci beim Übersetzen ein bisschen schummelt? Kurzerhand übersetzt sie die kritischen Worte des Lehrers in lauter Lob und gute Nachrichten. Riccis Mutter ist begeistert. So begeistert sogar, dass sie den Lehrer – zaggbumm – zum Abendessen einlädt. Ein Albtraum! Gemeinsam mit ihrem besten Freund Amal setzt Ricci nun alles daran, den Lehrerbesuch zu verhindern. Mit allen möglichen und unmöglichen Ideen.

Heute beschäftigt sie sich beruflich intensiv damit, wie wir miteinander sprechen – gerade dann, wenn es schwierig wird. Auf „ihrem“ Camino 2024 ging es für sie jedoch zunächst um etwas ganz anderes. Sie wollte raus aus dem Alltag, unterwegs sein, Abstand gewinnen und vor allem wollte sie ein Versprechen einlösen, das sie sich vor Jahren selbst gegeben hatte: „Wenn ich wieder gesund bin, dann gehe ich den Camino.“ Das war 2011, als sie im Behandlungsstuhl saß, die Chemotherapie über sich ergehen ließ. Was aber hatte sie all die Jahre abgehalten und wieso wurde der Camino zum Testfeld ihres alten so anhänglichen Glaubenssatzes „Über Krebs spricht man nicht“? Dass das schließlich auch das große Thema ihres Buches „Krebs ist kein Small Talk: Worte finden, wenn sie fehlen“ geworden ist, ist natürlich kein Zufall. Das hatte sie spätestens auf dem Camino so mit sich besprochen.Nadja Seipel – „Mein Weg ist noch nicht zu Ende.“Nadja Seipel kennen viele als „Gewinnerbraut“ von Instagram. Sie erkrankte 2015 erstmals an Brustkrebs, 2021 kehrte die Erkrankung metastasiert und mit einer sehr schlechten Prognose zurück. Nadja hat diese Prognose jetzt bereits um das 20-Fache verlängert und lebt heute mit ihrer palliativen Diagnose. Nadjas großes Ziel war, unbedingt Fisterra, das Ende der Welt zu erreichen – und Klarheit für sich zu finden. Ob ihr das gelungen ist, erzählt sie uns und sie spricht über eine Erkenntnis, die den Camino so besonders macht. „Dieser Weg ist enorm nachhaltig, er wirkt bei mir auch vier Jahre später immer noch nach.“ Dass sie darüber auch ein Buch mit dem Titel „Wanderwomen auf Pilgerreise: Unser unvergessliches Abenteuer auf dem Jakobsweg“ geschrieben hat, ist nur konsequent.Dr. Sabrina Han – „Nur wer Zeit hat, ist reich“Dr. Sabrina Han ist promovierte Sportwissenschaftlerin und vor allem Expertin und Coach für Fatigue.Mit dem Camino verbindet sie eine ganz besondere Geschichte, die im hohen Norden begann. Dort auf dem „Friluftsliv“ wurde die Idee für eine besondere Studie geboren. Einige Zeit später brach sie bereits 2008 gemeinsam mit einer Gruppe von Brustkrebspatientinnen auf, um über mehrere Wochen den Jakobsweg zu laufen. Das Projekt wurde später Teil ihrer wissenschaftlichen Arbeit, über deren Ergebnisse wir natürlich in dieser Episode sprechen.SHOWNOTES Susanne Thiem – Autorin und KommunikationstrainerinWebseite: https://susannethiem.de/Instagram: @susanne.thiem_schreibtBuch: Krebs ist kein Small Talk: Worte finden, wenn sie fehlenNadja Seipel – GewinnerbrautInstagram: @gewinnerbrautBuch: Wanderwomen auf Pilgerreise: Unser unvergessliches Abenteuer auf dem JakobswegDr. Sabrina Han – Expertin und Coach für FatigueDer kostenlose Fatigue-Selbsttest von Sabrina: https://www.erfolgreichschlafen.de/fatigue-selbsttestGespräch vereinbaren: https://www.erfolgreichschlafen.de/fatigue-gespraechInstagram: @sabrina_fatiguecoachÜber den Berg: https://überdenberg.de

Verity - Dunkle Geheimnisse | Anne Hathaway & Dakota Johnson im Psychothriller: Lohnt sich das? Nach „It Ends with Us“ und „Reminders of Him“ erwartet uns mit „Verity - Dunkle Geheimnisse“ (ab 1. Oktober im Kino) die nächste Verfilmung eines erfolgreichen Romans von Colleen Hoover. Doch „Verity“ ist unter Fans ein durchaus umstrittenes Buch – und tatsächlich ein Thriller. Darum geht's: Die erfolglose Schriftstellerin Lowen Ashleigh (Dakota Johnson) übernimmt als Ghostwriterin die Arbeit der erfolgreichen Verity Crawford (Anne Hathaway). Auf deren abgelegenem Anwesen stößt sie auf verstörende Aufzeichnungen, die Zweifel an Veritys Ehemann Jeremy (Josh Hartnett) und der Wahrheit hinter der Familiengeschichte wecken. Michael und Stu waren offenbar nicht besonders gut vorbereitet, denn sie haben sich beim Betreten des Kinos tatsächlich etwas anderes vorgestellt. Ob sie positiv überrascht wurden, warum die Romanverfilmung stellenweise für großes Grinsen sorgte und ob 2026 tatsächlich das Jahr von Anne Hathaway ist, darüber sprechen sie im Podcast.

Prostovoljno gasilsko društvo Ukve v Kanalski dolini deluje že 130 let. Tako kot druga ima tudi ta zelo pomembno vlogo, saj pomaga pri gašenju požarov in reševanju premoženja ljudi ob naravnih in drugih nesrečah. Tovrstna društva so tudi del zgodovinskega izročila, ki Kanalsko dolino povezuje z njeno avstro-ogrsko preteklostjo in delno nemškim jezikovnim izročilom, saj se na primer še danes ukazi izdajajo v nemščini, uradno ime društva pa je Freiwillige Feuerwehr Uggowitz. Praznovanje okrogle obletnice je bilo v začetku meseca, piše beneški petnajstdnevnik Dom. Udeležilo se ga je veliko gasilcev in tudi predstavnikov oblasti iz Italije, avstrijske Koroške in Slovenije. Ob gasilskih vajah in tekmovanju sta bila del praznovanja tudi večjezična sveta maša in predstavitev knjige. Poveljnik Prostovoljnega gasilskega društva Ukve, Daniele Zelloth, z zaupanjem gleda v prihodnost, saj si otroci še vedno želijo postati gasilci, na vaje prihaja tudi veliko najstnikov, starih med 16 in 18 let. Udeležujejo se tudi maš s procesijami ali drugih tradicionalnih dogodkov, kot je na primer čuvanje Božjega groba med velikim petkom in veliko soboto, še piše Dom.

What you collect in January through March is mostly decided by what you do now. Dr. Heather Signorelli covers the five areas every owner, CEO, COO, or practice manager should review before the year closes. Your net collection rate. Gross collection rate compares what you collect to what you charge. Net collection rate removes contractual adjustments, so it shows what your team is writing off that it should be chasing: timely filing, bad debt, patient balances. Heather notes most practices sit in the mid to high 90s. Know your number and why it is where it is. A growth plan for 2027. Set revenue goals in the first week of October. Use this year's average reimbursement per visit (claims through June should be paid by now) to work out the patient volume you need, whether you need to hire, and whether services you refer out, like PT, subspecialty care, or lab work, have a business case to come in-house. Payer contracts. When did you last negotiate? Are any credentialing denials still open? Starting in October gives new rates the best chance of loading early. IPA options. An independent physician association can strengthen your contracting position, but there are good and bad ones. Look at who they serve, how fast claims get paid, quality metrics, and shared savings before you join. A coding audit. If it has been years, get one. Check levels, modifiers, and incident-to billing, and make sure your documentation supports the codes. OB practices in particular need to be ready for the 2027 code changes.Three actions this week: • Pull your net collection rate and ask your billing team what is behind every non-contractual write-off • Put a two-hour 2027 planning session with your leadership team on the calendar for the first week of October • List every payer contract with the date it was last negotiated

Mike Costello, former BBC and DAZN commentator and one of the wisest figures in boxing, is here to discuss his career, his retirement, and his thoughts on the Anthony Joshua-Tyson Fury saga. Costello relives his experiences at ringside, the life it gave him, and the memories he will always cherish. From his days at the BBC through to the end of his career - as he made the switch from radio to television - Costello was a key voice at some of the most important fights of the modern era. He turns his attention to Joshua-Fury, and the mayhem behind the scenes, but concludes that the fight's making remains important even at this late stage of the heavyweights' careers. Also discussed is when the fight should have been made, what each now brings to the fight, and who's the likeliest to emerge victorious. Providing it happens, of course. There are some sound issues along the way. Apologies for those. We hope you still enjoy it. Support The Opening Bell by subscribing if you can. With love and the best of wishes, The OB.

Off the Gold Coast, a mother humpback whale stayed with her dead calf for hours, possibly even days. Researchers talk about post-mortem caring behavior. However, as Barbara Barkhausen has discovered, it has not yet been possible to say for sure if it is actual grief. - Vor der Gold Coast blieb eine Buckelwal-Mutter stunden-, möglicherweise sogar tagelang bei ihrem toten Kalb. Forscher sprechen von postmortalem Fürsorgeverhalten. Ob dahinter tatsächlich Trauer steckt, lässt sich dabei bislang aber nicht zweifelsfrei sagen, wie Barbara Barkhausen herausgefunden hat.For more stories, interviews and news from SBS German, explore our podcast collection here. -

Babišova vláda čelí dva týdny před komunálními a senátními volbami dalšímu pokusu opozice o vyslovení nedůvěry. Ani tentokrát ale opoziční strany nemají na svržení kabinetu dost hlasů. Čeho si myslí, že dosáhnou? Hostem Ptám se já byl předseda ODS a exministr dopravy Martin Kupka. Jako hlavní důvody pro svolání mimořádné schůze opozice uvádí návrh státního rozpočtu na příští rok s druhým nejhorším schodkem v historii Česka, nevyřešený střet zájmů premiéra Andreje Babiše (ANO) a útoky vlády na ústavní instituce, soudy, neziskový sektor a média. Opoziční ODS, STAN, Piráti, lidovci a TOP 09 sebrali pod návrh na svolání schůze k odvolání vlády podpisy všech svých 92 poslanců a v pátek je odevzali předsedovi dolní komory Tomio Okamurovi (SPD). Ten musí schůzi svolat neprodleně, začít má v úterý odpoledne. Aby Sněmovna vládě nedůvěru vyslovila, musí pro ni ale hlasovat minimálně 101 poslanců z 200. Koaliční strany ANO, Mototoristé a SPD, které mají dohromady 108 mandátů, se tak v ohrožení necítí. Premiér Andrej Babiš dokonce prohlásil, že se na schůzi těší: „Už dávno jsem ve Sněmovně nevystoupil a chybí mi to. Občané si zaslouží vědět pravdu, když musí poslouchat lži opozice,“ řekl v pátek Babiš. Prvnímu opozičnímu pokusu o vyslovení nedůvěry vláda odolala počátkem února. Důvodem byla eskalace sporu mezi Motoristy a prezidentem Petrem Pavlem, který odmítl jmenovat čestného prezidenta Motoristů a poslance Filipa Turka ministrem životního prostředí. Jaký smysl kromě předvolební kampaně hlasování má? Kde by škrtala opozice? A otřáslo by ODS to, pokud by nevyhrála volby v Praze? -- Podcast Ptám se já.

# Confronting the Willful Blind Spot in Maternal Care> A deep dive into the disconnect in hospital leadership and patient care.In this episode of the Critical Care Obstetrics Podcast, Stephanie Martin and Suzanne Baird tackle a crucial yet often overlooked issue in maternal care: the disconnect between hospital leadership and bedside realities. As they discuss the phenomenon they term the "willful blind spot," they highlight the frustrations felt by those at the front lines of care and explore the reasons behind the lack of action from administration.## The Willful Blind SpotStephanie opens the conversation by addressing a pressing concern: why does it seem that hospital leadership often turns a blind eye to the critical issues faced by clinicians? She notes that while those working directly with patients are acutely aware of the problems, solutions often remain elusive. > "Everybody's afraid of the lawsuit," says Suzanne. This fear creates a culture where leadership hesitates to make necessary changes, fearing that doing so might be seen as an admission of guilt. Instead, they wait until lawsuits are resolved, leaving vulnerable patients at risk in the meantime.The podcast reflects on a significant 2018 **USA Today** article by Alison Young, titled "Hospitals Know How to Protect Mothers. They Just Aren't Doing It." This piece resonated with both hosts, highlighting that despite knowing how to improve care, systemic inertia continues to hinder progress.## The Role of SilosA recurring theme in their discussion is the damaging effects of silos within healthcare systems. Clinicians often operate in isolation, unaware of ongoing lawsuits or changes being discussed at higher levels. This disconnection not only affects care but also contributes to a culture where learning from past mistakes is stymied.Stephanie emphasizes that "being present physically and doing a lot of things doesn't necessarily mean that you provided standard of care or even good care."  This highlights the need for an integrated approach where feedback from frontline workers is actively sought and acted upon.## Financial Constraints as a BarrierFinancial considerations also play a pivotal role in the decisions made by hospital administrations. As Stephanie points out, obstetric services are not typically profit centers for hospitals. This leads to a reluctance to invest in necessary training or changes that could enhance safety, as budget constraints take precedence. > "The OB service line doesn't have a budget for that. Yet you've got the hospital as a whole is highly profitable," she remarks, pointing to the disparity in resource allocation.## Moving ForwardThe episode concludes with a call to action for both clinicians and hospital administrators to acknowledge these challenges and work collaboratively towards solutions. As Suzanne notes, "we have opportunities to improve"—and recognizing the issues is the first step in creating a safer environment for mothers and their babies.This conversation is a crucial reminder that change is possible when we confront the willful blind spots in our systems. For more insights and discussions, tune into the full episode and join the conversation about improving maternal health care.The experts at Clinical Concepts in Obstetrics pool their decades of experience caring for critically ill pregnant women to discuss the challenges encountered in caring for these vulnerable women.Dr Stephanie Martin is the Medical Director for Clinical Concepts in Obstetrics and a Maternal Fetal Medicine specialist with expertise in critical care obstetrics.Suzanne McMurtry Baird, DNP, RN is the Nursing Director for  Clinical Concepts in Obstetrics with many years of experience caring for critically ill pregnant women.Julie Arafeh, RN, MS is the Simulation Director for Clinical Concepts in Obstetrics and a leading expert in simulation.Critical Care Obstetrics Academy: https://www.clinicalconceptsinob.com/Follow us:Patreon: patreon.com/CCOBYouTube: @CriticalCareOBPodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/criticalcareob/Dr Martin's LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/stephanie-martin-65b07112aCCOB LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/clinical-concepts-in-obstetrics/Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/OBCriticalCareCCOB Facebook: ...

82% Kursverlust nach einer katastrophalen Übernahme. Doch genau hier könnte jetzt eine der größten Turnaround-Chancen am deutschen Aktienmarkt liegen. Die deutsche Wirtschaft steckt in der Krise, die Schlagzeilen sind düster. Doch während viele Privatanleger verängstigt abwarten, investieren ausländische Staatsfonds Milliarden in deutsche Unternehmen. Der Grund ist einfach: Große Konzerne haben zwar ihren Sitz hier, verdienen ihr Geld aber global. Wer jetzt die richtigen Qualitätsaktien auswählt, nutzt die Krise als Einstiegschance. Du erfährst: → Warum der Weltmarktführer Linde dem DAX den Rücken gekehrt hat → Welcher deutsche Versicherungskonzern nach 200% Rendite gerade Luft holt → Wie BASF sich von der heimischen Wirtschaftspolitik unabhängig macht → Ob die gebeutelte Bayer-Aktie nach 82% Verlust den Turnaround schafft → Warum die DWS von der kommenden Aktienrente profitieren wird → Was der Ausbruch aus einer jahrelangen Seitwärtsphase bei Jenoptik bedeutet → Warum die Porsche-Aktie trotz schlechter Zahlen nicht mehr fällt Die beste Zeit zum Investieren ist meistens dann, wenn die Stimmung am schlechtesten ist. Erfolgreiche Investoren kaufen nicht die aktuelle Wirtschaftslage, sondern die zukünftige Ertragskraft global agierender Unternehmen. Oder wie es an der Börse oft heißt: „Kaufen, wenn die Kanonen donnern.“ ▬▬▬ Dein nächster Schritt ▬▬▬ Du möchtest sehen, wie ich mein eigenes Geld anlege und wie wir Vermögensaufbau mit echtem Kapital umsetzen?

By the time it is ready the science has moved, the money has gone somewhere else, and nobody told them the fund they were preparing for creates companies out of raw material.Marie Schroeder is a Principal on the Seed Investments team at Novo Holdings, the investment company owned by the Novo Nordisk Foundation. Before that she spent five years at Novo Nordisk in cardiovascular drug development. Before that, a doctorate at Oxford and research work in Toronto.Beginning with what a seed investor watches at the start of a year, the conversation becomes a practical guide to building and funding early biotech: the question her chief scientific officer put to every project until it hurt, what to do in the first hour after a negative readout, why the founder who discovered the science is often the wrong person to run the company, and how her team tracked one Swedish heart failure company for three years before a single risk cleared and the money moved.WHAT LISTENERS CAN EXPECT TO LEARNWhy defining what good looks like before the experiment runs decides whether a failed program gets funded twiceHow to break a plan into killer experiments so each tranche of money buys one specific answerWhat a board wants to hear on the day something fails, and how early it wants to hear itWhy team quality beats science quality in early biotech, argued on commercial groundsWhat a seed fund actually wants in a cold approach, and why a rejection is usually about timingBEST QUOTES(00:14:09) "Defining what good looks like before you start the experiment is absolutely paramount."(00:22:42) "The target failing is one of maybe five things that could have gone wrong."(00:52:36) "He only has time to give the negative feedback.

About half of any jury pool arrives assuming the game is rigged, and trial consultant Eric Oliver says you can't deny it. In his 41st year working with trial attorneys, Eric joins host Dan Ambrose to preview his new book, Assuming It to Be True, which tackles two hurdles jurors bring into the courtroom: unspoken assumptions and impaired attention. Eric explains why lawyers should approach every case as if it were a punitive case and frame damages as the deserved consequences of the defendant's wrongful conduct. Tune in to hear how the name you give the defendants can make their wrongdoing look worse, and how too much good evidence once cost a case against a cigarette company.Train and Connect with the Titans☑️ Eric Oliver | LinkedIn☑️ MetaSystems Consulting | YouTube | LinkedIn☑️ Trial Lawyers University☑️ TLU On Demand Instant access to live lectures, case analysis, and skills training videos☑️ TLU on X | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn☑️ Subscribe Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube2026 & 2027 Programming☑️ Claude Cowork Masterclass, October 8–9, 2026, Hermosa Beach, CA☑️ Eric Oliver: Case Story Bootcamp, Oct 20–24, 2026, Hermosa Beach, CA☑️ Joe Fried & Joe Camerlengo's Trucking Bootcamp, Dec 8–12, 2026, Hermosa Beach, CA☑️ TLU AI Conference, February 18–19, 2027, Huntington Beach, CA☑️ Phillip Miller's Advanced Deposition College, Feb 18–20, 2027, Huntington Beach, CAEpisode SnapshotEric cites research showing one distracted moment can cost you a juror's attention for an average of 23 minutes — long enough to lose half of a 45-minute opening.Many jurors are more motivated to punish a wrongdoing defendant than to help an injured plaintiff, so Eric establishes the wrongdoing before asking jurors to value the harm.About half of today's jury pool are "post-truth deciders" who share a fear that the people in charge don't have their interests at heart.Using the story model of decision-making, Eric structures cases in the sequence every good story follows: the situation and characters, then the action, and then the aftermath.In a delivery trauma case, Eric explains how simply calling the defendants "the delivery room doctors" sets up a norm that makes a largely absent supervising OB look far worse.Most lawyers speed up on cross-examination, and Eric pinpoints the two reasons it happens.How do you lose a case because you have too many incriminating documents?

All right, we're live. Hey everybody, I'm Jason Hull, the founder and CEO of DoorGrow. We are the world's leading and most comprehensive coaching and consulting firm for long-term residential property management entrepreneurs. We've been doing this for over 18 years, roughly about now, and we have brought innovative strategies and optimization to the property management industry.   We are on a mission here at DoorGo to transform property management business owners and their businesses. We want to transform the BS or eliminate the BS, transform the industry, build awareness, change perception, expand the market, help the best property management entrepreneurs win. And we're particularly genius at three key things: rehabbing property management companies so they make more money, optimizing their growth engines so they add more doors without having to waste money on digital marketing. And we help them figure out and get their ops dialed in so they get more freedom.   Now let's get into the show. Alright, today's guest hanging out with me here is Cory. And Corey, say your last name for me. I'm gonna try it. Kavrigaru. That is an A. Really? What how do you say it? It's Kovrigaru. Kovrigaru. It could be Kovrigaro. It's Roman.   Kori Covrigaru (01:07) That is an A. You got an A. Yeah, it's covrigaro. But you know what? It could be covrigaro. It's Romanian.   I don't speak Romanian. My father and his family were born in Romania. Means bagel maker in Romanian. Yeah, you nailed it. We're off to a good start.   Jason Hull (01:21) Interesting. Okay. He's runs bagel you know, meets bagel maker in Romanian. Okay. All right. Very cool.   Yeah, my brother Bryant actually he runs a property management business. He actually was a Mormon missionary in Romania. So he speaks Romanian. So   Kori Covrigaru (01:37) Wow.   Buona di miniatso. That means good morning. That's about, yeah, the count of 10. We can do it again. That's...   Jason Hull (01:40) There you go. That's more than I ever knew. So now everybody knows. Thank you. All right, cool. So   so Corey is the the co founder of Plan O Matic. And   Kori Covrigaru (01:54) Yes.   Jason Hull (01:55) we're gonna discuss today how high quality listing media can help properties lease faster, reduce vacancy costs, and create a better experience for both owners and prospective residents.   Corey's going to share insights for more than two decades of building one of the nation's largest real estate photography companies and what today's property manager should know about standing out in a competitive rental market. And it has gotten tough to get leasing handled in some markets right now. They've got a lot of inventory, the market shifted, it can be difficult. So we're going to get into that. All right, cool. So   Corey, give us a little background on you so those that are listening can understand what how did you get into entrepreneurism and decide to be crazy like the rest of us and start a business? And like how did this lead to Planomatic? I think it was the short answer is by necessity. I realized early.   Kori Covrigaru (02:48) I think it was the short answer is by necessity. I realized early on   that it was unemployable and in order to provide an income for myself and eventually my family, had to figure   Jason Hull (02:56) And eventually my family.   Kori Covrigaru (02:58) out how to start a business. So I got into Planomatic. I was an entrepreneur major at the first school. I attended SUNY Buffalo my freshman year. played soccer there and transferring to Western Michigan. They didn't have an entrepreneurship major there, but I kind of continued upon that path for myself. And then at some point,   Jason Hull (03:05) Buffalo, my freshman year, I played soccer there, I ended up transferring to Western Michigan. They didn't have an entrepreneurship major there, but I kind of continued upon that path for myself. And then at some   point in college I met someone who had written software or decreased work plans quickly on site, started helping him with his business, and then eventually licensed that software, started my own business, brought my co-founders on board, and then eventually we started using other software, of course. That's how I kind of got into it.   Kori Covrigaru (03:17) In college, I met someone who had written software to create floor plans quickly on site, started helping him with his business, and then eventually licensed that software, started my own business, brought my co-founders on board. And then eventually we started using other software, of course, but that's how I kind of got into it by happenstance.   Jason Hull (03:34) I knew that you know A O B was probably not for   Kori Covrigaru (03:34) But I knew that, know, J-O-B was probably not for me. And   that's what led me to the path I'm on. 22 years.   Jason Hull (03:42) Twenty   two years planomatic. Very cool. Very cool. So cool. So what is Planomatic? Yeah. So Planomatic provides professional photography, floor plans, three D scans, AI virtual staging, and more services to the single family rental property management industry nationwide at speed and at scale. So that's kind of like   Kori Covrigaru (03:50) Yeah. So Plan-O-Matic provides professional photography, floor plans, 3D scans, AI virtual staging, and more services to the single family rental property management industry nationwide at speed and at scale. So that's kind of like our...   you know, if you're familiar with EOS or traction, that's our, that's our elevator pitch. We provide professional photography floor plan, 3D scans, AI virtual for single family rental specifically. We did use to service the for sale by agent space or the traditional real estate agent that sells homes. And we actually pivoted a hundred percent to the single family rental property management industry in   Jason Hull (04:09) You know, if you're familiar with EOS or traction, that's our that's our elevator pitch. We provide photography floor technology scans for single family rentals specifically. We did use to service the for sale by agent space or the traditional real estate agent that sells homes and we actually pivoted a hundred percent to the single family rental, property management industry.   Kori Covrigaru (04:32) 2020, 21, sort of around that time.   Jason Hull (04:36) Okay, okay, got it. So three D scans, pro photography, speed, scale. So for property managers, why is it important to do this stuff well? Why can't they just send out one of their team members that's got an iPhone and just sort of wing it? Okay. Well there's there's a lot are a lot of reasons why that's not the optimal solution.   Kori Covrigaru (04:57) Well, there's a lot. There are a lot of reasons why that's not the optimal solution. Now, look,   I'm not going to say that, you know, it's the same for every property manager and every price range and every market across the U.S. That's not the case. But generally speaking, windshield time is what really cuts into profits.   Jason Hull (05:05) same for every property manager and every price range and every market across the US. But generally speaking, windshield time is is what really cuts into   Kori Covrigaru (05:18) And so what we're able to do is reduce that windshield time. That saves money and makes you more efficient.   We also save a lot of the back office having to download, upload photos, color correct them, download them, sort them, upload them to that folio, build them, rent, find wherever your PMS is. And so we save a ton of time by being integrated with your property management software. But the biggest reason why it actually makes sense and there's a high ROI for our customers to use us versus what you described as properties with professional photos lease faster.   Jason Hull (05:31) Upload photos, color correct them, download them, sort them, upload them, tab folio, building, random, wherever your PMS is. And so we save a ton of time by being integrated with your property management software. But the biggest reason why it actually makes sense and there's a high ROI for our customers to use us versus what you described is properties with professional photos leads   faster.   Kori Covrigaru (05:55) So   we're   able to get out to your property often same day or next day and deliver those assets the day later. So that's like an average of two and a half days from order to delivery when you can have professional leasing photos up on the Zillow platform, up on apartments.com or wherever else you   Jason Hull (05:56) Yeah. We're able to get out to your property often the same day or next day and deliver those assets the day later. So that's like an average of two and a half days from order to delivery and then you can have professional leasing photos up on the Zillow platform, up on Parliament.com, or where   Kori Covrigaru (06:11) may advertise your single family rentals. so by reducing the windshield time and the time it actually takes to get those photos on, we can reduce the time by about 14 days.   Jason Hull (06:12) else you may advertise your scene family rentals. And so by reducing the the windshield time and the time it actually takes to get those photos up, we can reduce the time by about 14 days   and lease that property about 10 days faster once it hits the market with those pro photos.   Kori Covrigaru (06:22) and lease that property about 10 days faster once it hits the market with those pro photos.   Jason Hull (06:27) So two weeks two weeks less. Two weeks less. On average it takes about two weeks from rent ready to get professional listing photos up on the portal. We can do that for you in two to two and half days.   Kori Covrigaru (06:30) Two weeks less on average, takes about two weeks from rent ready to get professional listing photos up on the portal. We can do that for you in two to two and a half days. And   then we can also save your team time so that they're not dealing with going out to   Jason Hull (06:39) And you can also save your team time so that they're not dealing with   Kori Covrigaru (06:42) a property and taking photos and uploading them in the background and doing all that stuff. They can focus on tenants or maintenance issues or communicating with owners or just not have to grow your staff as fast as you grow your business.   Jason Hull (06:47) tenants or maintenance or or communicating with owners or just not have to grow your staff as fast as you grow business.   Got it. So it this gives you leverage, especially during times where leasing gets heavy like the summer and there's an increase in workload and workflow happening, then you can just outsource this piece and get people get really somebody else handling this, which is planomatic, get get photos handled, you know, quickly and get things, you know   Get the property leased a lot faster. Leased a lot faster. I mean it's really at this point it's table sticks, right? In this environment especially.   Kori Covrigaru (07:17) Lease a lot faster. I mean, it's really at this point, it's table stakes, right? In this environment, especially where everything   is so competitive, it's taking a lot more to lease a property. You actually, you need professional   Jason Hull (07:25) Yeah,   Kori Covrigaru (07:28) photos to compete out there. And I really, didn't even mention there is another layer to why it's important to market your properties professionally. That's because that's the first impression that potential owners that may want to hire you see online. I mean, you're dirty laundries out there, right? Like they see how you treat your existing portfolio, your existing.   Jason Hull (07:30) And I I really I didn't even mention there there is another layer to why it's important to market your properties professionally, and that's because that's the first impression that potential owners that may want to hire you see online. Your your very laundry's out there, right? Like they see how you treat your existing portfolio, your existing   Kori Covrigaru (07:47) and the doors that you manage, and they're going to envision their property being in that same spot on your listing page or on your website. And so   Jason Hull (07:47) clients and the doors that you manage, and they're gonna envision their property being in that same spot on your listing page or on your website. Right.   Kori Covrigaru (07:55) you can really elevate your brand and brand yourself professionally by hiring a professional to do your professional property manager. It's like the same reason why you wouldn't recommend an owner or manage their own property. It could work, but it doesn't make sense as far as your time value and what you value, like what's your full-time job.   Jason Hull (07:56) you know, you can really elevate your brand and and and bring yourself professionally by hiring a professional to do the your professional property manager. It's like the same reason why you wouldn't recommend an owner or manage your own property. It could work, you know, it but but it doesn't make sense as far as your time value and what you got you know what's your what's your full time job, right? Let a professional go let them   do it better. That's kind of the way we see it.   Kori Covrigaru (08:16) Let a professional do let them do it better. That's kind of the way we see it.   Jason Hull (08:20) I I think that's a really good point. If you're a property manager listening to this and you're thinking, Well I could just do that myself   You are exactly the problem that frustrates you. These are the investors that are like, I'll just do it myself. You have to have a mindset that it makes sense to outsource to get a better quality product, that it makes sense to get an expert brought in to do expert work. And I love the idea because either you're at the top of your market and you're positioning yourself as the best and you're the best branded and you have the best photos and everything you do is the best, or you got to be the cheapest because in the middle is where you die.   Kori Covrigaru (08:56) Exactly.   Jason Hull (08:56) And that playing the game of being the cheapest and trying to do everything low cost is a great way to have a business that makes you miserable, that isn't fun to run, and isn't very attractive to the best clients. It's gonna attract cheapos. You attract who you are. And so if you want to position yourself mentally, and I coach a lot of clients on this, and if you want to position yourself mentally, you got to get graduate from being a cheapo to maybe a more normal type of buyer. And then you got to graduate from being a normal type of buyer to a premium buyer. And then you can attract everything that you want.   But if you have enough premium buyers, normal buyers, you may turn down or fire a lot of the cheapos and not even work with them. Because the people that care about having nice photos and things looking good also care about things being done well and they probably have more money to spend. They're not   Kori Covrigaru (09:41) Exactly.   Jason Hull (09:41) looking for the cheapest, ugliest option to just get it done. You don't want to be cheap. especially in an area that kind of reverberates across   Kori Covrigaru (09:45) So, yep, I agree. You don't want to be cheap. And especially in an area that kind of reverberates across the   internet that everybody can see your existing clients as well as potential clients. You just don't want that to be your brand's thing. It's like,   Jason Hull (09:54) the internet that everybody can see your existing, you know, clients as well as potential clients. You just don't want that to be your brand's thing.   Kori Covrigaru (10:03) I'm going to cut corners when it comes to marketing your properties, for example. So that's just like the elevate your brand, kind of keep your existing owners, attract new owners. That's one component of the reason why.   Jason Hull (10:07) So that's that's just like to elevate your brand, kind of keep your existing owners, attract new owners. That's one component why.   Yeah, I love it. I mean, nicer photos is nice, but I think for me the benefit as a business owner really is freeing up my team to focus on higher level tasks. They're not being sent out to go be a half ass photographer. So it because it's drive time, going out to do things, they could be getting stuff done, helping onboard new clients, getting the   things done in the office rather than just driving around taking photos. And if they're not really great at it, let an expert do it. So seems to be a no brainer. I'm a business owner   Kori Covrigaru (10:43) And again, I'm a business owner too.   Jason Hull (10:45) too.   Kori Covrigaru (10:46) You might be able to, again, not scale your people as you scale your business. I mean, that's every entrepreneur's dream, right? It's how do I keep my overhead the same as it relates to the revenue, but increase that top line in order to generate more   Jason Hull (10:49) scale your people as you scale your business. I mean, that's every entrepreneur's dream, right? So how do I keep my overhead the same as it relates to revenue, but increase that top line in order to   Kori Covrigaru (11:00) profits, right? So not having that, that, overhead, that permanent W2 employee that's driving around, insured, buying gas while they're, you know, could be doing other things.   Jason Hull (11:02) Not having that that overhead, that permanent W two that's driving around insured, buying gas while they're you know   doing other things, not doing anything at all is is   Kori Covrigaru (11:12) doing anything at all is a high cost.   Jason Hull (11:14) high costs. Yeah. yeah, yeah. You know, like our cars are often just sitting in the driveway, right? Not really doing a whole lot for us, and then we use it occasionally. And but in business you don't want team members, they're just sitting like a car in the driveway. You want them   be productive, getting stuff done and focus on the right things. And so yeah, if you have seasonal work, if photos are just something that happens occasionally, you know, or even pretty regularly, you want to be able to scale without having to just go out and hire. Hiring is one of the most costly things you will ever do. One bad hire usually costs business owners, I find, when we really dig into it, minimum 10 grand. It's 10 grand in opportunity cost, 10 grand in loss   money that's been spent on this team member for about three months before you figure out they're just not going to cut it. And so the less you have to get involved in the hiring piece and you can use a system with experts just when you need it, that is a lot more ideal. Even if it's more expensive to get that thing done, there you don't have that sunk cost of having a team member all the time that you're paying. Exactly. Keep it variable if you can cool. Business in general you can keep   Kori Covrigaru (12:20) Exactly. Keep it variable if you can. In business in general, if you can keep it variable, keep it variable.   Jason Hull (12:24) it variable   Yeah, you you mentioned table sticks. You're talking about the game where the it's who grabs the sticks first? No, it's kind of   Kori Covrigaru (12:32) No, it's kind of like poker,   you know, like required to pay if you're to play the game.   Jason Hull (12:37) Pay if   you're gonna play the game. Okay. Got it. Okay.   Kori Covrigaru (12:41) You up. It's not, you know, if you're playing poker, you have to   ante up. If you're in property management, you have to treat your listing.   Jason Hull (12:47) Got it. I'm obviously   a really seasoned poker pr player. Just kidding. So right, actually, you can tell me if I say it aloud, so I'm looking   Kori Covrigaru (12:51) I hope I get that right. Actually, you put me totally, I say it a lot. So I'm going to look that one up afterwards.   Jason Hull (12:56) at it. All right, cool. So yes, I missed the reference. All right. So very cool. So I I these are some of the benefits. How does Planomatic work? How does this how does this work? G paint the picture. Somebody signs up with you. What's the process? How are they able to leverage you and use you? How does this go?   Kori Covrigaru (13:17) There are a number of ways we are integrated with AppFolio, Buildium, and RentFine. So I integrated what I mean is you register as a Planomatic client, and then you integrate with your property management software. Your portfolio then syncs with our system so you can see   Jason Hull (13:22) Build DM and Redfine. So by integrating what I mean is you register as a priomatic client and then you integrate with your property management software. Your portfolio then syncs with our system.   Kori Covrigaru (13:33) your properties in our system, see what's for rent, what's not for rent, what has professional photos, what doesn't, and make your buying decisions that way with one click. Order photos, order photos, order photos.   Jason Hull (13:36) Rent what has professional photos, what doesn't, make your buying decisions that way with one click, order photos, order photos, order   photos. Yeah. We either dispatch our photography either same day or next day, go out, capture the content, have that content processed and photoshopped, etc., by our team and some tools that we use, and then we sync those assets back with your property management software so you can go ahead and with one click syndicate that property.   Kori Covrigaru (13:43) We then dispatch our photographer either same day or next day, go out, capture the content, have that content processed and photoshopped, et cetera, by our team and some tools that we use. And then we sync those assets back with your property management software so that you can go ahead and with one click syndicate that property as far   as the marketing photos are concerned. They appear in your account ready to go, right sort order with the right captions, the right size.   Jason Hull (14:04) Far as the marketing photos are concerned, they're appear in your account, ready to go, right? Sort order with the right captions, the right   size, etc. And so that entire process from order to delivery is average, you know, averages about two and a half days. and you don't have to download a single thing, like everything just kind of like goes the way it goes. There is another that we've just launched. Actually, this is kind of big news for us, but we've launched the ability to receive work orders now through either property meld or   Kori Covrigaru (14:11) Etc. And so that entire process from order to delivery is average, know, averages about two and a half days. And you don't have to download a single thing. Like everything is kind of like goes the way it goes. There is another way that we've just launched. Actually, this is kind of big news for us, but we've launched the ability to receive work orders now through either property meld or, or   at folio ability and rent finds. So we can actually receive work orders from our customers, just like you order a plumber.   Jason Hull (14:33) Folio ability of our device. We can actually receive work orders from our customers. Just like you order   a plumber to come out to the property, you order Planomatic to shoot photos, we receive that work order, we digest that order automatically, and then two to two and a half days later, you'll find those assets synced with your property management software ready to syndicate in the most ways that we work with our customers. And we do have larger owner operator customers that own their their rentals as well as manage them and those   Kori Covrigaru (14:38) to come out to the property, order PlanoMatic to shoot photos, we receive that work order, we digest that order automatically, and then two to two and a half days later, you'll find those assets synced with your property management software, ready to syndicate immediately. Those are the most organized that we work with our customers. And we do have larger owner operator customers that own their rentals as well as manage them. And those are kind of like we call   them enterprise clients, institutional investors.   Jason Hull (15:04) Clients, institutional investors,   Kori Covrigaru (15:06) They integrate with us in a bit of a unique way. They directly integrate with our platform versus going through property management software because they're typically on either Salesforce or Yardi or some sort of proprietary platform. So those customers have a more direct integration with us. That's pretty much, it's really easy. Just register and go ahead and integrate. You don't have to integrate. You can also just go out and place an order and we'll be there.   Jason Hull (15:07) they integrate with us in a bit of a unique way. They directly integrate with our platform versus going through property management software because we typically want either Salesforce or ERB or some sort of proprietary platform. Okay. Just register and go ahead and integrate. You don't have to integrate the just go out and place an order. Okay. Very cool. And   so if they place an order and you go out there and maybe the tenant   left something or wasn't quite ready. like there's a trash bag in the kitchen or there's something's missing or whatever. The Photoshop guys can kind of get it s that weird thing out or take care of that. It's just AI the thing and it's gone. We don't charge for something like that. We charge for object   Kori Covrigaru (15:44) But as we know today, that's kind of a lasso situation. You just kind of lasso that item. We get rid of those items, and we don't charge for something like that. We charge for object removal that's   bigger. Like if there's a car in the driveway for some reason, or there's a big trash bin, we may charge a little extra   Jason Hull (16:00) Yeah.   Kori Covrigaru (16:00) for that, because that's a little more heavy. But as long as the is vacant, we can take the photos. We can clean up a little bit of a mess.   Jason Hull (16:03) Got it. Okay.   Kori Covrigaru (16:07) It's no big deal. We can do a lot more. can AI virtual stage images, too, but declutter.   Jason Hull (16:12) Okay.   Cool. Got it. I I'm sure people listening to this are like, this sounds great. This sounds really cool, but what is the cost? Is that something you can tell talk about? Yeah, the cost in and right now we we do have a membership program, so it it does impact that and we do have a prepay and save, but Okay. But the cost is a la carte. You don't have to pay like this, you know, per month subscription. It's like literally you have an   Kori Covrigaru (16:23) Yeah, the cost in right now, we do have a membership program, so it does impact that, and we do have a prepay and save, but the cost is a la carte. You don't have to pay like this per door per month subscription. It's like literally you have an order to place with   us. Great. Go on, place one order for photography only. Our minimum there is 10 photos. You can also place an order for photos and 3D tour and a floor plan.   Jason Hull (16:40) place with us, great. Go on place one order for photography only. Our minimum there is ten photos. you can also place an order for photos and three D tour and a floor plan.   Kori Covrigaru (16:50) I believe that photos, know, everything's like for, for 15 photos, a 3d tour and a 2d floor plan. We're talking under 300 bucks per property setting. 270. It's like off the rack, 15 photos, 3d.   Jason Hull (16:51) Okay. I believe that photos, you know, everything's like for f for fifteen photos, a three D tour and a two D floor plan, we're talking under three hundred bucks. Okay. Awesome. Two seventy it's like off the rack.   Yeah, that's great. And this would be easily be something that you could   offer as part of your packages or your offerings and have the owner pay for as part of the leasing process. I was gonna backtrack and say it's free. Right. Right. You should be tweaking your owner and you should be probably marking that up for all the coordination just that you do. I mean it's transparent, but we don't really support the kickbacks or or charging more and saying, you know, tell them it was more or whatever it is, but   Kori Covrigaru (17:19) I was going to backtrack and say it's free. It's free to the property manager, right? Because you should be choosing your owner and you should be probably marking that up for all the coordination, just like you would mark up in the work that you do. mean, of course, transparently, we don't really support kickbacks or charging more and saying, you know, tell them it was more or whatever it is. But yeah, this   is something that most property managers that we work for are starting to change their process, change their owner agreement to make sure that that owner   Jason Hull (17:40) Yeah, this is something that most property managers that we work for are starting to change their process, change their owner agreement to make sure that that owner   Kori Covrigaru (17:49) pays for those marketing photos and it makes sense, right? Because once that owner picks up and leaves and takes their door with them, those photos are then obsolete, right? for the property manager. it makes a lot of sense. And a lot of owners are like, yeah, of course we need professional photos to market my property.   Jason Hull (17:50) pays for those marketing photos and it makes sense, right? Because once that owner picks up and leaves and takes a vote with them, those photos are then obsolete, right? So for the for the property managers. So it makes a lot of sense. And a lot of owners are are like, Yeah, of course we need fashion for this.   Kori Covrigaru (18:04) It's my property.   Jason Hull (18:04) Yeah, obviously.   And then if they can explain everything you just explained about the benefits of this, then to their clients, the then the owners will say, Yeah, no brainer. I should do this. I'll pay the extra money.   I'll pay and mute.   Kori Covrigaru (18:16) That should be in the agreement. mean, that's something, yeah.   Jason Hull (18:20) Got it. Okay, very cool. What else do people typically ask about Planomatic or what what else are am I are we missing? Those that are listening that might usually be curious about.   Kori Covrigaru (18:30) I you know, I don't want to call it a silver bullet because I don't   know that I believe necessarily in silver bullets. Are you, are you with me on the silver bullet thing? All right, good. Just making sure. So AI virtual staging has, has provided us with significant data that shows that it works almost like a silver bullet. mean, properties with AI virtual staging just lease faster. get more showings, more, more.   Jason Hull (18:35) Silver bullets? Are you are you with me on a silver bullet thing? Yeah, yeah. So AI virtual staging has has provided us with significant data that shows that it works almost like a silver bullet. I mean, yeah. Properties with AI virtual staging just lease faster. They get more showings, more   more applications, and it's been kind of wild.   Kori Covrigaru (18:59) and it's been kind of wilder.   That's something that we've seen from our institutional folks. They take a lot more time to research ROI on specific products that we offer. one of the...   Jason Hull (19:02) That's something that we've seen from our institutional folks. They take a lot more time   to research on RLI on specific products that we offer. So everybody knows kind of what staging is, right? If you're selling a home and it's usually a more expensive home, you call a company a staging company and they'll bring a big U-Haul with a bunch of furniture and they'll come and they'll drop it off and they'll put it in, and then you'll have your listing photos taken, right? Because listing photos look so much better.   Kori Covrigaru (19:12) Yeah. So everybody knows kind of what staging is, right? If you're selling a home and it's usually a more expensive home, you call a company, a staging company, and they'll bring a big U-Haul with a bunch of furniture and they'll come and they'll drop it off and they'll put it in. And then you'll have your listing photos taken, right? Because listing photos look so much better with   furniture. Well, for the longest time, we've been able to virtually stage real estate photos. We've had to do it with a human being and that costs a lot. You know, that costs a lot.   Jason Hull (19:32) furniture, well for the longest time we've been able to virtually stage real estate photos. We've had to do it with a human being and that's cost a lot, you know, that   costs a lot more money. But today the advances of AI and we see it all you know commercials on TV and everything, we can virtually stage and by virtual stage I mean s like take a a photo of a vacant room. Yeah. Go go to our staging vendor, a software company, click a button, choose   Kori Covrigaru (19:42) But today, with the advances of AI and we see it all over commercials on TV and everything, we can virtually stage. And by virtually stage, mean, take a photo of a vacant room, go to our staging vendor, a software company, click a button, choose between   Jason Hull (20:00) between various different styles for staging. Okay. And then it actually places that furniture in the image and and you and it looks like s it's scary how real   Kori Covrigaru (20:00) various different styles for staging. And then it actually places that furniture in the image and it looks like it's scary how real it looks.   Jason Hull (20:09) it looks. Right, yeah. And so when you have when they have properties that are are staged or virtually staged, and we label them virtually staged just   Kori Covrigaru (20:11) And so when you have, when you have properties that are staged or virtually staged and we label them virtually staged just to make sure that.   Jason Hull (20:18) to make sure that you've got the virtual staging in the photos. Does this show up in the three D tour or stuff like that? It doesn't show up in the three D tour. It does however show   Kori Covrigaru (20:25) doesn't show up in the 3d tour. does, however, show up   in the photography carousel, of course. And we typically have like a before and after. It allows for the potential renter to envision their lives in that, versus seeing it as an empty box. So naturally there's been more, we've all looked for real estate before and we've clicked through properties and when the photos are bad, it's you kind of move on. Cause like you don't stuff in that mess, right?   Jason Hull (20:31) Got it. I mean we have like a before and after. It it it allows for the potential renter to envision their lives. Right, they can imagine it. Versus seeing it as an empty box. So naturally they're gonna spend more we all looked for real estate before and we've clicked through properties and photos of that it's you kinda move on. Yeah, yeah. You don't withten that mess,   right? When it's nicer photos you stop and and so the the furniture really helps the potential rent to stop spending more time   Kori Covrigaru (20:53) When it's nicer photos, you stop. so the furniture really helps the potential renter stop, spend more time on that listing   and eventually get more showings and more applications.   Jason Hull (21:02) Sure. Yeah. I've moved into places and you know, seeing how they had it decorated before or seeing photos how they decorate it gave me an idea of, we could do something like this, or here's what I want to change. Because you're not starting with just this blank slate and trying to be creative. And so yeah, I think it helps people's imagination so they can picture their life in there. Okay,   Kori Covrigaru (21:23) Yep. It just cause you to stop, you know.   Jason Hull (21:25) cool. And there's you you were citing there's evidence.   that virtual staging significantly increases the results as well. So not just having good photos, but also good photos that are virtually staged, you're now maximizing the the return on this. And the and the virtual staging that that's   Kori Covrigaru (21:41) And the virtual staging, that's really inexpensive.   I think it's 36 bucks for three rooms, if I'm not mistaken.   Jason Hull (21:46) It's thirty six bucks for three rooms. Yeah.   Kori Covrigaru (21:49) So it's like a huge ROI   Jason Hull (21:51) Cool.   Kori Covrigaru (21:52) to order virtual staging on top of your professional photo.   Jason Hull (21:54) Sure, a lot cheaper than real staging.   Kori Covrigaru (21:58) Where'd you go?   Jason Hull (21:59) So yeah, got it. Very cool. anything else that we're missing about Planomatic? Sounds very cool. Yeah.   Kori Covrigaru (22:05) Yeah, no, I mean, I'm again, been an   entrepreneur for about 22 years. We have a high focus on, on client communication and client support. So that's one thing that's like paramount for me. I always tell my team, it's better to know that nothing is happening than to not know something is happening, meaning keep the customer updated. You know, even if we don't have the resolution yet for you, like we'll figure it out or we're working on it. So when you work with us, you really understand those, that's part of our core values. really.   Jason Hull (22:10) we have a high focus on on client communication and client support. So that's one thing that's like paramount for me. I always tell my team it's better to know that nothing is happening than to not know something is happening. Meaning keep the customer updated. Yeah. You know, even if we don't have the resolution yet for you, like we'll figure it out or we're working on it. So what when you work with us, you really understand those that's part of our core values. It   really emulates through the entire organization. So that's really important to us. Our integration, of course, is is really important and allows for   Kori Covrigaru (22:30) emulates through the entire organization. So that's really important to us. Our integration, of course, is really important and allows for our customers to   be able to transact with us. Again, business 101, make it as easy as possible for your customers to transact with you. So we've tried to make that a reality. And then, know, we're business owners, we're a small business, just like you all are, you know, just like you are, Jason, just like our property management clients are. And we just want to...   Jason Hull (22:39) To be able to transact with us, make our business one on one, make it as easy as possible for your customers to transact with you. So we've tried to make that a reality. and then you know, we're we're business owners, we're small business just like just like you all are. We're not just like you are, Jason, just like our our our property management clients are. and   we just wanna be successful in helping our clients make more money and and gain more market share, and and that's what we strive for every day. So we have the same   Kori Covrigaru (22:59) be successful in helping our clients make more money and gain more market share. And that's what we strive for every day. So we have the same struggles,   but same successes that every business owner does. We're not PE-backed or VC-backed.   Jason Hull (23:08) Same struggles, but same successes does with the RP backed or PC backed on P back back.   Got it. So I know there's a lot of people listening that are gonna think, because I hear this all the time, even with with what we do at DoorGrow, will this work in my market? I'm in a big city, will this work in my market? I'm in a small town. How do you source photographers? So before you answer that, I'm gonna share a quick word from our sponsor. So our sponsor today is Vendoroo. So if you're working with   Door grow, you're growing doors, right? And that means you have to keep figuring out how to keep up with the maintenance. So instead of doing that, we recommend that you use Vendoroo to have maintenance figured out for you with AI. Some of our clients are getting 85%, 95% of their maintenance coordination handled by Vendoroo, which is amazing. Vendoroo brings the best practices, workflows, and AI intelligence. They've developed across hundreds of property management operations and puts it into work, into your business.   It's an AI that answers the phone. It troubleshoots with residents. It coordinates vendors. It does follow-up. It drives the work order all the way to completion. It could probably work with Plan O Matic, right? So as you add doors, you don't have to keep reinventing maintenance. Let Vendoroo build your maintenance for you. Like so many of our DoorGrow community members have already done. You focus on growing your doors. Build an AI-first maintenance department that will scale with you forever.   Use Vendoro. Cool. All right. So tell us how do you handle photographers? Because some people are thinking, well, this might be hard in my town. They who do they know in, you know, Podunksville, you know, wherever I'm at, you know. Or they might think I'm in a really big city and maybe photographers, there's challenges with getting good ones and they're so expensive or w whatnot.   Kori Covrigaru (25:01) You hire a team to, you know, to   Jason Hull (25:02) You hire a team to to you know.   Kori Covrigaru (25:04) onboard, to hire, to onboard, maintain these contract photographers nationwide. That's kind of what we've   Jason Hull (25:09) Yeah.   Kori Covrigaru (25:09) done. we've perfected that, almost perfected that. I think one really important thing to note about us is we try to make it as simple as possible for our photographers to work with us from all the software. And it hasn't historically been that way and we're getting closer to it, but what software do they have to download and register for on our system?   Jason Hull (25:13) Almost almost perfected that. Yeah. One really important thing to note about us is we try to make it as simple as possible for our photographers to work with us from all the software and and and it hasn't historically been that way. We'll get any closer to it, but what software do they have to download and register for on our system?   Yeah. what specifics, like how are the instructions given out? What about access to to you know these doors and and I'm not talking about just one method. It's like there are so many different methods.   Kori Covrigaru (25:30) What specifics, like how are the instructions given out? What about access to these doors? And we're not talking about just one method. It's like there are so many different methods. I'm trying to key   box, so there's a key hidden. There's this, there's that. Call this number, get this code, right? So it's just a lot. I mean, we've been doing this since 2004. We've been in the SFR space since 2012, handling hundreds of shoots a day.   Jason Hull (25:41) trying to key box so there's a key hidden there's this there's that call this number get this code right so it's just a lot I mean we've been doing this since 2004 we've been in the SFR space since 2012 handling hundreds of shoots a   day for larger companies and smaller companies and so there's a lot a lot of its experience of just like okay here are all the you know here are all the edge cases this is what you do in this case and also just being available for them to pay them of course enough to make it make sense but we have   Kori Covrigaru (25:56) for larger companies and smaller companies. And so there's a lot of experience of just like, okay, here are all the edge cases. This is what you do in this case. And also just being available for them. You have to pay them, of course, enough to make it make sense, but we have to pay them enough   for the business to operate, right? So it's a very delicate, it's the hardest thing that we do is find quality photographers, educate them, onboard them, maintain them, and then keep them happy.   Jason Hull (26:11) good enough for the business to operate, right? So it's a very delicate it's a har it's the hardest thing that we do is is find quality photographers, educate them, onboard them, maintain them and keep them happy. Yeah. it's   Kori Covrigaru (26:25) It's as tough as it sounds. And it doesn't matter if it's a small market or a huge market. Huge markets with a lot of people have their own challenges. There's traffic, there's cost of living, it's higher. Small markets, you don't have all that, know, it's to find quality people   Jason Hull (26:26) it's as tough as it sounds and and it doesn't matter if it's the small market or a or a huge market, but you huge markets with a lot of people have their own challenges. There's traffic, there's cost of living to hire small markets, you know, have all that you know, hardly fine   Kori Covrigaru (26:41) in the specific industry. it's just, hire the right people to take care of our great network of planet tech.   Jason Hull (26:40) quality people in the specific industry. So it's just hire the right people our great network with planetary. Yeah.   This is some of the magic that you've spent a lot of time dealing with. And I'm sure people that have tried going and getting a photographer, tried doing it themselves, tried editing photos, like that is just so time intensive, so much work. And if you're a business owner doing this stuff, that's the dumbest trade you could ever make. You should offload that, get that off your plate because the speed of you is the speed of the business and the team.   And you should calculate your time as worth the the top line revenue of the company and what that comes out to per hour. And so you should not be doing this stuff. So now another challenge that people deal with, and I don't know if there's a way your system addresses this, but there's been a lot of challenges with scammers stealing photos from people's listings, putting up other listings elsewhere, tricking people into giving money. Is there any way we can combat that through   Kori Covrigaru (27:37) No.   Jason Hull (27:38) the photography?   Kori Covrigaru (27:39) You know, I think with general awareness around how sort of the internet works and how, and the general awareness of what AI   Jason Hull (27:40) But I think with general awareness around how sort of the internet works and how to t and and the general awareness   Kori Covrigaru (27:46) is capable of, I think people are more skeptical these days. I don't think everybody's just sending out checks and routing numbers and checking numbers. Cause we hear, I'll be honest, we hear less noise about it lately. And I think it's around the awareness. Historically, you know, we, we watermark photos. can watermark photos, however you, you know, property   Jason Hull (27:48) skeptical these days, right? Yeah. Everybody's just sending out checks and routing numbers and 'cause we hear we hear less noise about it lately and I think it's awareness. historically, you know, we we watermark photos, we can watermark photos   Kori Covrigaru (28:05) manager wants to watermark photos.   AI today, you can get rid of those watermarks in like a half a second, Free AI account. So man, it's changing rapidly right now. I don't have a recommendation that will just solve all of those problems. think that you have to be very careful. I would still watermark. You have to be careful where you put your images. There are applications out there like...   Jason Hull (28:08) Photos with AI today, you can give rid of those watermarks. Yeah. Yeah. So man, it's it's it's changing rapidly right now. I don't have a a a recommendation that will just solve all of those problems. I think that I mean you have to be very careful. I s I would still watermark, you have to be careful where you put your images. there are there are applications out there like   Kori Covrigaru (28:34) invisible watermarks that you can kind of track across.   Jason Hull (28:35) invisible watermarks and you can add it. Yeah,   I've heard about the invisible watermarks lately. Claude and some of these tools   Kori Covrigaru (28:40) Yeah.   Jason Hull (28:40) are adding invisible watermarks to stuff, to text, to images, to things that are created. So people will go, this was created by AI. Here's where it came from. I think it's a matter of educating your your potential renters. I think it's a lot a lot it's you know still   Kori Covrigaru (28:48) Yeah. I think it's a matter of educating your potential renters. think it's a lot of it's, know, Zillow has to make it,   has to educate their users, right, to make sure that people aren't just going and sending random checks out and putting it all over the listing media and all over your brochure and description. I think it's really important. If you're a renter, don't go on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace. Stick to the internet listing services that are, you know, tried and true, I think.   Jason Hull (29:11) stick to the listing services that are you know tried and true.   Kori Covrigaru (29:19) I think that's the most important thing is like just watch where you put your listings, make sure it's reputable.   Jason Hull (29:20) Think that's the most important thing. It's like just watch where you put your listings, make sure it's reputable. Very cool. Love   it. So, Corey, tell us a little bit about the philosophy that you try to instill with your company, with the people that are in your business, like maybe the values that that you guys espouse. Give people a feel for what the culture is like at Planomatic. We are exceptionally client for meaning, I don't like to say no.   Kori Covrigaru (29:41) We are exceptionally client forward, meaning I don't like to say no to clients. I like to ask   more questions and I don't like giving an update without a resolution that's coming up. And I get copied on a lot. I drive my team nuts, Jason. I mean, I drive work because I'll reply to a random support ticket or response from our team. I'll just, I'll.   Jason Hull (30:00) Yeah. I'll reply to a random support ticket or or response from our team and I'll just   Kori Covrigaru (30:08) I'll reach out to that team member and I think there's a better way we could have handled this reply. And if I'm the customer, like, when are you getting back to me?   Jason Hull (30:08) I'll I'll reach out to that team member and say, hey, I think there's a better way we could have handled this reply. If I'm the if one of the customers are like, when are you getting back to me?   Kori Covrigaru (30:15) Right. And I think that's like most important again, it's, better to know, like everybody hears it from me. It's better to know that nothing is happening than to not know that something is happening. And so we have this, we have this phrase we use, we hold the client at the center of the organization, no matter what. one thing I haven't talked about recently, but I think it's really cool. And it's something that we've kind of put in place in 2020 or 2021 is we have personas.   Jason Hull (30:17) And I think that's like the most important. Again, it's it's better to know like everybody hears it from better to know that nothing to not know that something is happening. So we have this we have this phrase we use, we hold the client at the center of the organization no matter what. one thing I haven't talked about recently, but I think it's really cool and it's something that we've we kind of put in place in twenty twenty twenty or twenty twenty-one is   Kori Covrigaru (30:37) our customers, they're real names, right? So we started out with Emma. Emma is our enterprise client. Emma is typically a   Jason Hull (30:37) percent of our customers. They're real names, right? So we start out with Emma. Emma is our enterprise client. Emma is typically   Kori Covrigaru (30:46) single family rental owner operator. Emma raises money through institutional capital, whether that be publicly traded on Wall Street or private equity money or pension plans.   Jason Hull (30:47) A single family rental owner operator. Emma raises money through institutional capital, whether that be publicly traded on Wall Street or private equity money or pension plans.   Emma is usually a customer that uses his own software and integrates directly with our platform. Emma has this National Rental Home Council, Emma Emma. So   Kori Covrigaru (30:57) Emma is usually a customer that uses her own software and integrates directly with our platform. Emma has this National Rental Home Council, Emma, Emma, Emma. And then we have Paul.   Jason Hull (31:09) these are your customer, you've got customer avatars so that when you are building out your products and services.   you are have them in mind and you know these categories of clients or buyers of your services will, you know, maybe perceive it a certain way and the product's geared towards these personalities. That's exactly right. And we we   Kori Covrigaru (31:27) That's exactly right. And we, we talk about   Emma and Paul all day long. It's just natural. Like I'll, I'll be talking to. So Paul, Paul is when we got into,   Jason Hull (31:33) Tell us about Paul. Who's Paul?   Kori Covrigaru (31:37) servicing the third party property manager that manages,   Jason Hull (31:40) Well you're breaking up a little bit. Say that again.   Kori Covrigaru (31:43) when we, when we started servicing the third party property manager, you know, a smaller business that, that manages 50 to up to, you know, a thousand doors.   Jason Hull (31:45) When we when we started servicing the third party property manager, you know, a a smaller business that that manages fifty to up to you know a thousand   doors, that persona was so different, and we named that persona Paul, Paul the property manager. Okay. Paul uses folio or building arm or or rent client or rent manager, right? Paul doesn't own their properties, they have clients. Paul's typically smaller, Paul's usually regional. Paul goes to the n national rental.   Kori Covrigaru (31:55) that persona was so different and we named that persona Paul, Paul the property manager. So Paul uses Azzolio or Bildium or Rentvine or Rent Manager, right? Paul doesn't own their properties, they have clients. Paul's typically smaller, Paul's usually regional. Paul goes to National   Association of Residential Property Management conferences, NARPAM.   Jason Hull (32:15) National Association of Residential Property Management Conferences. Not that   and and so those are important to like know what each customer wants. The real value is that we've like humanized our clients. Yeah. It's no longer client or or you know ACE property management company wants this. No, it's it's Paul. It's it's it like we have these personas, we have these images of what Paul might look like and what Emma might look like. And so it really helps the team   Kori Covrigaru (32:19) And so those are important to know what each customer wants, but the real value is that we've humanized our clients. It's no longer the client or Ace property management company wants this. No, it's Paul. We have these personas, we have these images of what Paul might look like and what Emma might look like. And so it really helps the team   humanize the customer and realize that we're talking to human beings.   Jason Hull (32:44) humanize the customer and and realize that we're we're talking   to human beings. These are real people not just folks behind the screen or whatever it is. Yeah, I love it. Every every small small examples of things that we've done, one of our core values is we create genuine relationships, right? Our customers. We love we love that core value. So everything that we do, it's just like the longer you're in a business, the more you realize that communication and support, how you   Kori Covrigaru (32:48) real people, they're not just folks behind the screen or whatever it is. And so every small examples of things that we've done, one of our core values is we create genuine relationships, right? With our customers. We love that core value. So everything that we do, it's just like the longer you're in business, the more you realize that communication and support and how you, it's not how you   treat the customer when things are going well, it's how you.   Jason Hull (33:13) It's not how you treat the customer when things are   going well, it's how you treat the customer, communicate to the customer when things aren't ideal. How you get back on track. Get the client to say, you know what? That got screwed up really, but they took such good care of me so quickly and they gave me this and they got out back for property that. That's what brings customers back more and more. It's not it's not, you know I I believe. Actually that's what keeps me buying from the same, you know, vendor or from the same board is if I'm treated.   Kori Covrigaru (33:16) treat the customer and communicate to customer when things aren't ideal. How do you get back on track? You get the client to say, you know what, that got screwed up royally, but they took such good care of me so quickly and they gave me this and they got out back to the property that, that's what brings customers back more and more. It's not, it's not, you know, I believe actually that's what keeps me buying from the same, you know, vendor or from the same, or as if I'm treated   with respect and communicated with respect and that's what   Jason Hull (33:45) Yeah, I love that. I think that's a great tip for those listening to map out your ideal customer profile or your ideal client profile. Map out the avatars that you tend to serve. There's usually a small category of clients that are the ones you're really going after that you're serving. this is true in any business. And the more clear and the more you humanize them and the more you realize what their strengths, what their challenges are, what their pains, their frustrations, their concerns are.   And you map this out, the better you're going to be able to do marketing, target them, create your sales presentation, scripts, pitches, whatever you're doing to be more effective and to teach your team about them so they understand these different avatars. And so yeah, we've done the same thing at DoorGro. We have very clear avatars that we target and that we focus on. And yeah, and we gear our products towards directly towards those avatars and what their challenges are. So love that. It's a great tip to share.   and I love the the I the the focus on relationships, which I think is is paramount. So cool. Well Corey, great stuff.

The top 25 showdown this weekend as Nuño and OB talk about the make or break game of A&M V. LSU + The top 3 things OB wants to see in the game + Honeybun?

This week on Drinking from the Gardenhose, OB is almost walking again, ED is still babysitting grown adults, and Replicant remains at large. OB gives an update on his recovery before the guys head to New Orleans with ED, where a work conference somehow turns into a series of late-night rescue missions, wrong hotels, wrong directions, and colleagues who apparently cannot be trusted after midnight. They also debate whether OB should brave another concert while recovering, this time for AC/DC, including the eternal question: How much is a ticket worth if you might need a wheelchair to actually get there? And then there's Replicant. The mysterious listener continues to lurk in the shadows, leaving comments while refusing to reveal their identity. So OB and ED do what any responsible podcast hosts would do: They put a $10 bounty on Replicant's head. Who is Replicant? How many adults does ED have to supervise in New Orleans? And will OB make it to AC/DC? The investigation continues. The crutch is almost gone. The bounty is $10.

An einem heißen Sommertag ist Clarissa froh über ihre Flasche mit Düse: Der Wassernebel kühlt sie richtig schön ab. Ob es so etwas wohl auch für Kühe gibt? Düsen, die ihnen im Sommer eine Abkühlung verschaffen? In einer Firma in Metzingen findet Clarissa die Antwort. Dort werden verschiedene Arten von Düsen produziert und auch neue entwickelt. Eine davon ist eine besondere Düse, die tatsächlich dazu genutzt werden soll, Kühe zu kühlen. Doch bevor die einsatzbereit ist, muss sie einige Tests bestehen…

Gearing up for LSU on Saturday on the Go Hour as we hear OB's Heisman predictions + former Aggie QB Stephen McGee talks Marcel Reed's impact with the team.

In this episode of Fit as a Fiddle, Dr. Sneha Gazi sits down with Dr. Tiffany Lin, a board-certified anesthesiologist and pain medicine specialist at Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, for an approachable, evidence-informed conversation about labor epidurals. Dr. Lin explains what an epidural actually is, how it works on the nerves that carry pain, sensation, and movement, and why modern epidural techniques look very different from the “completely numb and stuck in bed” version many people still picture.Together, they explore how epidurals can be tailored throughout labor, including lower-dose options that may allow for repositioning in bed, patient-controlled dosing, and adjustments when someone wants more pain relief or more sensation and pressure for pushing. They also discuss what to expect with placement, common medication-related side effects, why a urinary catheter may be used, and the rare but important risks and reasons an epidural may not be appropriate for every patient. Dr. Lin also clears up persistent myths around timing, C-sections, prolonged labor, and paralysis.Most importantly, this episode makes space for every kind of birth preference. Whether you are planning an unmedicated birth, considering an epidural, scheduling a cesarean, or simply want to understand your options before labor begins, the goal is education, flexibility, and informed consent.

The advice to “just trust the system” falls apart fast when you've already been gaslit by doctors, pressured toward induction, and made to feel like your own body can't be trusted. Jasmine shares the full arc from her first hospital birth, and the quiet unease that followed, to the radically different freebirth that changed how she sees motherhood, power, and herself.She opens up about a messy first pregnancy, an OB-led experience that included pressure around size, a threatened induction at 39 weeks, and the claustrophobic feeling of being managed instead of supported. But the deeper story is what happened after birth: postpartum isolation, dark thoughts she was too afraid to say out loud, and the people-pleasing pattern that kept her suffering silently.Then everything shifts. In her next pregnancy, Jasmine finds Free Birth Society, devours hundreds of hours of podcast stories, and starts to imagine something she never thought possible: having her baby at home, without a midwife, on purpose.If you want to connect with Jasmine, follow her on Instagram at @rootedandradiant.motherhood and you can find her website here.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Introducing LEMONADE, my newest training program.Six months, live, with me.

 “The deck was stacked against me: advanced maternal age, circumvallate placenta, marginal cord insertion, gestational diabetes, induced VBAC, delivery after 41 weeks, 4 hours of pushing, and vacuum assisted delivery.”After 38 hours of labor, chorioamnionitis, and late decels, Stephanie's rainbow baby boy was born by cesarean. His umbilical cord was only five inches long, her husband missed the birth after being forgotten outside the OR, and their son spent five days in the NICU.For her VBAC, she tried all the things to go into labor naturally before being induced at 41+3 with low and slow Pitocin. With the support of a patient OB, doula, and her husband, she labored unmedicated and pushed for four hours before welcoming her daughter with the help of a vacuum. Even with a second-degree tear, postpartum hemorrhage, and a retained placenta, she says that her VBAC was much less traumatic than her cesarean.The VBAC Link Blog: The Best VBAC Induction Methods The VBAC Link Blog: Operative Vaginal DeliveryThe Ultimate VBAC Prep Course for ParentsOnline VBAC Doula TrainingAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

   Four years after his death, COL (Ret) Anthony Johnson, MD, is still teaching. WarDocs is releasing again a 2021 interview recorded by his colleagues Gary Legault, MD, and Grant Justin while Johnson was living with stage 4 cancer, and his voice carries the same clarity, humor, and conviction that defined three decades in Army medicine. A cornea and refractive surgeon, Tony traces a path into medicine that began with a chance conversation during a third-year OB rotation and grew into a career spent perfecting the art of suturing. He credits mentors Doyle Stolte and George Waring for the technique he ultimately published in a textbook chapter, a knot-splicing method he adapted from a sailing manual called Ashley's Book of Knots, and he recalls the astonished phone call from cornea specialist Marilyn Mackiewicz after her own fellow used the technique successfully for the first time.      In 2003, Johnson deployed to Operation Iraqi Freedom as the only operating ophthalmologist for the 47th and 28th Combat Support Hospitals, performing more than 400 surgical procedures in theater, many of them alone, in an open-air combat support hospital, refining ruptured-globe repairs he would spend the rest of his career teaching to residents. He describes the chaos of the first Scud missile alarm, sleeping in a converted morgue for lack of space, and the 36 straight hours he spent operating after the bombing of United Nations headquarters in Baghdad sent eight ruptured globes into his care at once. A decade later, at a humanitarian mission in Burkina Faso, he ran into one of those patients entirely by chance, still able to see out of the eye he had rebuilt. Tony returned to Brooke Army Medical Center as a residency director and Chief of Ophthalmology, founded the Army's first Eye Trauma and Vision Restoration Research Unit, and spent his final working years teaching residents he came to think of as his own children. He reflects candidly here on marriage, faith, and fatherhood, and on receiving a terminal diagnosis with gratitude rather than regret. WarDocs is bringing this conversation back because the surgeons Johnson trained are still practicing today, and still teaching what he taught them. That is what a legacy actually looks like. Chapters (00:00-07:43) Becoming a Physician and Choosing Ophthalmology (07:43-16:41) A Mentor's Suturing Technique and the Road to Deployment (16:41-27:49) Deploying to Iraq: Chaos, a Vestibule Clinic, and the First Cases (27:49-32:58) The Only Ophthalmologist in Theater (32:58-44:15) The UN Bombing, 36 Hours of Surgery, and a Reunion Years Later (44:15-58:55) Legacy: Teaching, Fatherhood, Faith, and a Life Without Regret Chapter Summaries (00:00-07:43) Becoming a Physician and Choosing Ophthalmology Tony describes a childhood pull toward medicine, choosing West Point despite its two-percent medical school quota, and stumbling into ophthalmology during a third-year OB rotation when an ophthalmology technician talked up the specialty for hours. He credits the camaraderie of "cooperate and graduate" at West Point for shaping how he later led and mentored. (07:43-16:41) A Mentor's Suturing Technique and the Road to Deployment During his cornea fellowship, he learns a suturing philosophy built on speed and efficiency from his mentors, then invents a technique for splicing a broken running suture, borrowed from a sailing knots manual, that he publishes and that a leading cornea specialist adopts after seeing it work. (16:41-27:49) Deploying to Iraq: Chaos, a Vestibule Clinic, and the First Cases Tony recounts arriving in Kuwait as part of an eight-person eye surgical team, the confusion of the first scud missile alarm, and being reassigned solo to Iraq to support the 47th and 28th Combat Support Hospitals with the only ophthalmology equipment in theater. (27:49-32:58) The Only Ophthalmologist in Theater By the fall of 2003, attrition leaves him as the sole surviving member of his surgical team, and he becomes the only ophthalmologist treating eye trauma in the entire Iraq theater of operations for roughly six months. (32:58-44:15) The UN Bombing, 36 Hours of Surgery, and a Reunion Years Later He describes performing ruptured-globe surgery for 36 straight hours after the United Nations headquarters bombing in Baghdad, then, years later, unexpectedly reuniting with two of those patients an ocean apart, both still able to see. (44:15-58:55) Legacy: Teaching, Fatherhood, Faith, and a Life Without Regret He reflects on his return to Brooke Army Medical Center, building a teaching career and the Army's first Eye Trauma and Vision Restoration Research Unit, and closes with reflections on marriage, fatherhood, faith, and facing a terminal cancer diagnosis without regret. Take Home Messages Shared Struggle Builds Lasting Bonds: A demanding institution's culture of "cooperate and graduate" can turn competition into lifelong camaraderie. Helping classmates succeed, rather than outcompeting them, built a network of trust that paid off for decades afterward. The Right Conversation at the Right Moment Can Redirect a Career: A specialty that never appeared on a young clinician's radar can become a life's calling after a single unplanned conversation. Staying open during rotations, even ones that seem to have nothing to teach, leaves room for that moment to happen. Constraint Forces Mastery: Operating alone, with limited equipment, in an austere combat environment forced a level of technical self-sufficiency that no routine practice would have required. Real skill often gets built under exactly the conditions nobody would choose. A Career's Impact Outlives the Moment It Happened: Patients treated in the chaos of a mass-casualty event can resurface years and continents later, their outcomes intact. The full measure of a surgeon's work is often not visible until long after the operating room lights go off. Facing Mortality Can Sharpen Gratitude Instead of Regret: A grim prognosis did not produce bitterness but a clear-eyed inventory of a life spent on family, faith, and service. Looking back with no desire to change anything is itself a kind of victory.

In this episode of the Birth Trauma Mama Podcast, Kayleigh sits down with Lo Mansfield, MSN, RNC-OB, CLC, an OB nurse, educator, mom of four, and creator of The Labor Mama. Lo shares her journey into nursing, what she calls the “art of nursing,” and how her experiences both as a nurse and as a mother have shaped the way she thinks about birth.Kayleigh and Lo dive into the importance of nuance, autonomy, and hope in birth education, especially for people planning a hospital birth after a previous traumatic experience. They talk about the ways that interventions can become unnecessarily stigmatized, why informed consent means having choices in both directions, and how education can prepare you for what happens in a hospital without labeling every intervention as inherently good or bad.They also discuss the power of staying curious, asking questions, understanding the physiological process of labor, and remembering that what happened in a previous birth does not necessarily determine what will happen next time.In this episode:

Emotions are still high on the Go Hour as Nuño and OB talk about the Aggie LSU match up on Saturday and how this could be a playoff elimination game for the Aggies.
