Boating While Intoxicated: What You Need to Know as Summer Heats UpAs boating season arrives in Ohio, it's important to recognize that operating a boat under the influence of alcohol is both illegal and dangerous. The law treats boating while intoxicated (BUI/BWI) very similarly to driving under the influence, and enforcement is stricter than most people realize.Three key takeaways:The Law Applies on Water Too: Just like with cars, operating a boat with a blood alcohol level of 0.08% or higher—or appearing impaired—can result in charges under Ohio Revised Code 1547.11. This includes not just motorboats, but also jet skis, canoes, kayaks, and even water skis."Underway" is Broadly Defined: You don't need to have the engine running to be considered "operating" a boat. If you're drifting (not anchored or docked), you're still subject to boating while intoxicated laws.Safety is Critical: Boating under the influence increases the risk of serious accidents, including fatalities. Always designate a sober operator, especially on dangerous bodies of water like Lake Erie.Enjoy your time on the water—just make sure to do it safely and legally.FAQ's About Boating and DrinkingWhat does boating while intoxicated mean in Ohio, and how is it enforced?Boating while intoxicated in Ohio means operating any watercraft with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or higher, or while visibly impaired, with enforcement by ODNR officers and local authorities who watch for suspicious behavior like drinking from red solo cups and operating erratically.How can someone avoid getting charged with boating under the influence on Ohio lakes?To avoid getting charged, ensure the boat operator does not consume alcohol, avoid acting suspiciously or recklessly, and be aware that simply drifting or being underway counts as "operating," especially in areas where alcohol is banned, such as certain state parks.Why is operating a boat under the influence considered so dangerous?Operating a boat under the influence is particularly dangerous because it impairs judgment and reaction time on unpredictable waters, putting yourself, passengers, and others at serious risk — boating accidents involving alcohol can quickly turn fatal, as illustrated by firsthand experiences on Lake Erie.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?

Episode summary introduction: In this episode of The Sean Barnes Podcast, Sean Barnes breaks down what executive presence actually means, starting with why it's some of the most common and least helpful feedback leaders get on their way up. He argues that the suit, the tie, and a clean cut are just the baseline. Real executive presence is built on three things: clear communication that adapts to any room, the composure to stay calm when everything is on fire, and the certainty that comes from a track record of results. Sean shares how he learned to articulate his message to different audiences, from the boardroom to a wireline shop in the Permian, and why the leader who says less often owns the room. He closes with a self-assessment for leaders who want to be remembered in every room they walk out of.   Key Moments 00:00 The vague feedback every rising leader hears, and what executive presence actually means 00:53 Why the nice suit and tie are only the foundation 01:47 Communication skills: cutting filler words and articulating your message clearly 02:41 Adapting your message to every room and navigating up and down the chain of command 03:39 Staying calm and collected when the business is on fire 04:38 Saying less: say the one thing that matters, then stop 05:27 Certainty is the product: leading from confidence 06:24 What confidence really is, and why affirmations in the mirror didn't work 07:23 Operating from fear versus giving the work time, plus the value of a coach or mentor 08:23 A self-assessment, and how to study the leaders who command the room   Key Takeaways The basics are just the baseline. How you show up matters, but communication, composure, and certainty are what take you to the next level. Say less and stay calm. The leader who talks the least, and keeps the room steady in a crisis, is the one people remember. Over explaining reads as chasing validation. Confidence is earned, not affirmed. It comes from a stack of real results built over time and across different domains, not from pep talks in the mirror.   Podcast Show Notes – Episode 286 | 06.16.2026 Episode Title: Executive Presence for Leaders: Communication, Composure, and Certainty   Host: Sean Barnes Website: https://www.wolfexecutives.com   https://www.seanbarnes.com   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/seanbarnes/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/wolfexecutives https://www.linkedin.com/company/thewayofthewolf/ LinkedIn Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7284600567593684993/   Twitter: https://x.com/seanbarnes https://x.com/wolfexecutives   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_seanbarnes https://www.instagram.com/wolfexecutives   TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the_seanbarnes   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theseanbarnes

Richard Doty is a retired special agent from the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) who served as the primary facilitator of an aggressive government disinformation campaign targeting the UFO community during the late 1970s and 1980s. Operating mainly out of Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico, Doty's assigned mission was to infiltrate civilian UFO networks and seed fabricated stories of extraterrestrials. This strategy was designed to obscure highly classified military test programs involving stealth aircraft, advanced laser systems, and nuclear weapons technology.   The "Tic Tac" UFO incident is a highly publicized 2004 encounter in which U.S. Navy pilots visually observed and recorded an unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP). The object, resembling a white Tic Tac breath mint, exhibited impossible flight characteristics, such as instantaneous acceleration and erratic movement without visible propulsion.   Attribution   David Fravor via UAP James @UAPJames on X Link: https://x.com/UAPJames/status/2065497720710721677?s=20   Rick Doty via Interstellar @InterstellarUAP on X Link: https://x.com/InterstellarUAP/status/2066285804570235354   65,000 Humans From Earth via OANASA @OANASA_X_ on X Link: https://x.com/OANASA_X_/status/2066422960013861361?s=20

Sermon Outline: "On My Father's Side" Preacher: Pastor Lemuel Miller (Guest Speaker / Advisory Board Member) Location: Church of the Harvest I. Introduction: The Temple and the Root Causes of Sickness The Caleb Spirit: At nearly 74 years old, Pastor Lemuel shares his experience winning a silver medal at the national arm wrestling championship, emphasizing that our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19). We must actively care for our physical templates so that the Holy Ghost is not "living in a garage or a shed." Commanding Prayers vs. Begging: In his book Prayers for Healing, Pastor Lemuel explains that many believers stay in ignorance, begging God for things He has already accomplished. Spiritual maturity requires switching from begging prayers to authoritative, commanding prayers. Uprooting Sickness: True physical restoration requires looking past the surface pain and identifying the structural root causes of diseases. Migraine Headaches: Often rooted in trauma and bitterness. Kidney Disease: Rooted in deep unforgiveness, bitterness, fear, and self-rejection. Leukemia: Often linked to bitterness and paternal rejection. Lupus: Can stem from deep-seated guilt, self-hatred, and low self-esteem. II. Point 1: Understanding Jesus as a 100% Human Example The Human Dependency: Reading from John 5:19, Jesus explicitly declares that the Son can do absolutely nothing of Himself except what He sees the Father do. Many Christians incorrectly attribute Jesus' earthly miracles to His inherent divinity, forgetting that He stripped Himself of that privilege to come as a 100% vulnerable human baby. The Earthly Blueprint: Jesus had to fully depend on human care and look directly to His Heavenly Father for supernatural strength. By doing this, He serves as a complete human blueprint for how we are meant to walk out authority on Earth. III. Point 2: The Full Meaning of Salvation (Sozo) Fire Insurance vs. Full Rights: Most modern believers view being "saved" purely as a post-death ticket to Heaven to avoid Hell. The Greek Meaning: In Matthew 1:21, the term for save is the Greek word Sozo. When properly translated, it means you are actively rescued from: Accidents, injuries, physical harm, and structural danger. Destruction, risk, peril, loss, and premature/untimely death. Sickness, chronic disease, physical infirmity, and generational curses. The Transacted Benefits: True Sozo simultaneously grants the believer legal rights to divine prosperity, total deliverance from addictions, inner strength, structural healing, and operational wholeness. IV. Point 3: The Conversation in the Temple (The Two Sides) Using a vivid exploration of Luke 2:47, Pastor Lemuel illustrates the 12-year-old Jesus sitting among the elite rabbis and theologians, contrasting His dual lineage: On My Mother's Side: Born into natural law, generational trauma, human limitations, fear, hunger, thirst, trouble, and the lingering curse of sin. On My Father's Side: Formed in supernatural law, eternal life, and generational blessings. The Supernatural Exchange: * Hungry/Thirsty: On His mother's side, He fasts; on His Father's side, He is the Bread of Life and a well that never runs dry. Natural Law: His mother's side is bound to gravity; His Father sits upon the flood (Psalm 29:10)—and a Father who sits on the flood raises a Son who walks on water. Surrounding Defense: On His Father's side, He is covered by feathers and wings (Psalm 91:4), meaning His truth functions as a structural shield, buckler, and surrounding defense against the snare of the fowler. Age and Identity: On His mother's side, He is a 12-year-old from Nazareth; on His Father's side, He is the Ancient of Days, Alpha and Omega, the Architect of the Universe, and the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world. V. Point 4: Operating in Dunamis Power The Age of Public Service: In Hebrew culture, a priest could not step into public high-priestly service until age 30. Accordingly, Jesus did not perform public miracles until reaching this baseline. The Necessity of Anointing: Acts 10:38 states that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and power. If Jesus was operating strictly as God, He wouldn't require an anointing or a companion. He operated as an anointed human being. Miraculous Power (Dunamis): When the Holy Ghost fills a believer, they receive Dunamis power—the explosive, dynamic, and supernatural capacity to perform miracles. Rebuking the Root: When dealing with demonic possession (Acts 16), Peter's mother-in-law's fever (Luke 4), or the raging sea (Mark 4), Jesus always used sharp, severe, and authoritative rebukes (epitimao). In the storm, He did not rebuke the water; He rebuked the wind—the structural root cause of the problem. VI. Conclusion: Activating Faith vs. Waiting The Whip Post Transaction: Based on Isaiah 53:5 and 1 Paragraph 2:24, our healing is already completely provided in the past tense ("by whose stripes you were healed"). Healing was legally settled at the whipping post, not two years from now. Faith is Practical Action: Believers fail to receive because they allow passive doubt to eat their seed of faith. Like the ten lepers in Luke 17, their structural healing manifested on the way because they actively moved in obedience to Jesus' command. Healing vs. Wholeness: While nine lepers were cleansed (cured of the disease), the Samaritan leper who turned back to worship Jesus was made whole (Sozo). Healing cures the virus; wholeness creatively restores every limb, finger, or piece of flesh that was eaten away or missing.

Late registration for self employment can quickly become a cash flow problem. Missing HMRC deadlines may lead to penalties, backdated returns, VAT issues, and unnecessary stress for sole traders and new business owners. About this episode When a business starts, it is easy to focus on websites, branding, customers, bank accounts, and sales. However, basic tax compliance matters from the very beginning. In this episode, we explain what can happen when self-employed businesses fail to register on time. We cover the registration threshold, the 5 October deadline, failure to notify penalties, voluntary disclosure, Making Tax Digital, backdated tax returns, and VAT registration risks. This episode is especially useful for sole traders, side hustlers, freelancers, and new business owners who may not realise that HMRC looks at total sales before expenses, not just profit. What you'll learn in this episode When self-employed registration becomes mandatoryWhy the £1,000 threshold is based on sales, not profitWhy the 5 October deadline mattersHow late registration can affect cash flowWhat failure to notify meansWhy voluntary disclosure can reduce penaltiesHow Making Tax Digital changes compliance habitsWhy VAT registration can create a separate financial risk Why late registration for self employment matters Late registration for self employment is not just a paperwork issue. It can expose a business owner to HMRC penalties, backdated tax returns, interest, and extra pressure on the bank balance. The key point is that HMRC looks at total sales before expenses. If total trading income goes over the relevant threshold, we cannot simply deduct costs, look at the profit, and use that lower figure to avoid registration. If you are starting out as a sole trader, our episode on Tax and Your Self Employed Business is a useful next step for understanding the wider tax position. “Never assume that small revenue numbers mean the tax man will ignore you.” The £1,000 trading income point One of the most important points in this episode is that the registration point is based on sales, not profit. That means we look at total income before deducting business expenses. This matters because a business may have low profit, or even early trading losses, but still need to understand whether Self Assessment registration applies. Why voluntary registration may still help Voluntary registration can sometimes be sensible, especially where the business has early trading losses. Depending on the wider personal tax position, those losses may help when preparing a tax return. The main message is simple: track every transaction from day one. Good bookkeeping helps us understand sales, expenses, profit, tax exposure, and whether registration is needed. The 5 October deadline The key deadline for telling HMRC about new self-employed income is 5 October following the end of the tax year. Missing that date can put the business owner into late registration territory. For example, if someone starts trading in May 2025, the deadline for informing HMRC would be 5 October 2026. Waiting until the tax payment deadline is not the same as registering on time. Failure to notify and HMRC penalties When someone does not tell HMRC about taxable income on time, this can fall under failure to notify rules. Penalties can depend on the tax owed, the length of the delay, and whether the behaviour was careless, deliberate, or corrected voluntarily. Coming forward before HMRC contacts us is usually better than waiting. An unprompted disclosure can help reduce the penalty position and show that we are trying to correct the problem. Practical steps if you have registered late Do not ignore the problemWork out when the business started tradingGather income and expense recordsRegister with HMRC as soon as possiblePrepare any missing tax returnsMake a voluntary disclosure where appropriateSpeak to a qualified adviser if several years are involved Backdated tax returns can become expensive If a business has been trading under the radar for several years, HMRC may expect tax declarations from the date the business started. That can mean backdated tax returns, late filing penalties, interest, and a larger bill than expected. Late filing penalties are separate from failure to notify penalties. This means the costs can build up quickly if the issue is left unresolved. Making Tax Digital and digital records Modern UK tax compliance is becoming more digital. Making Tax Digital increases the importance of proper bookkeeping, regular updates, and reliable accounting systems. Poor records make deadlines harder to manage. If quarterly updates, digital record keeping, or bookkeeping systems are relevant to your business, it is worth getting organised early rather than waiting until HMRC pressure builds. If you need help putting better systems in place, our Xero accounting support can help you improve bookkeeping and digital record keeping. Do not forget VAT registration Self Assessment is not the only registration risk. As a business grows, VAT can become another major compliance area. If taxable turnover passes the VAT registration threshold, the business may need to register for VAT. Late VAT registration can mean backdated VAT on past sales, even where VAT was not charged to customers at the time. That can damage profit margins and cash flow. Our episode on VAT in the UK: How It Works and How to Stay Compliant explains the wider VAT position for businesses. Why ignoring the problem makes it worse Many people do not register late because they set out to avoid tax. Sometimes the issue starts as a mistake, then becomes harder to face as time passes. Fear and anxiety can make the delay even longer. The problem is that waiting rarely improves the position. The sooner we act, the easier it is to organise records, explain the delay, reduce penalties where possible, and rebuild control over the numbers. Practical steps to stay compliant Track all sales from the first day of tradingDo not confuse sales with profitPut the 5 October registration deadline in your calendarKeep digital records where possibleReview whether VAT registration may applyAsk for help before HMRC contacts youDeal with historic errors quickly and honestly Related episodes Tax and Your Self Employed BusinessThe Benefits of Operating as a Sole TraderVAT in the UK: How It Works and How to Stay Compliant Key takeaway Late registration for self employment can create penalties, backdated tax returns, VAT problems, and unnecessary stress. The best approach is to know the registration rules, track income properly, act before HMRC contacts us, and get professional help where needed. Do not ignore registration if you have met the criteria. Get organised, fix the problem early, and protect your bank balance. Plan it, Do it, Profit.

Patrick K. O'Donnell details the exploits of Richard Blazer, the brilliant leader of the Blazer Scouts, the Union's first modern hunter-killer team. Operating in the rugged terrain of West Virginia, Blazer utilized detective work and lightning raids to hunt Confederate partisans. His primary adversaries were the Thurman brothers, ruthless "bushwhackers" who targeted Union supply lines and often executed prisoners. Under General Averell, Blazer's team integrated tradecraft from the Jesse Scouts to protect vital B&O railroad lines and conduct crucial battlefield reconnaissance to support Union Army raids against Confederate logistics. (2)1865

Patrick K. O'Donnell introduces Captain John Charles Carpenter and the Jesse Scouts, a Union special forces group named after Jesse Frémont. Emerging from the Missouri insurgency, these scouts utilized 21st-century tradecraft such as disguises and infiltration to gather intelligence behind enemy lines. Simultaneously, the Confederacy enacted the Partisan Ranger Act to organize irregular fighters like John Singleton Mosby. Operating in "Mosby's Confederacy," these rangers conducted asymmetrical warfare that tied down thousands of Union troops. Both sides grappled with the lack of discipline in these units, yet recognized their strategic brilliance in modern irregular combat. (1)1863

Entrepreneurship does not come with a perfect instruction manual. You have to learn how to operate in the gray. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why embracing ambiguity is one of the most important skills a leader can develop. Let's be real… If you freeze every time there is no clear answer… If you need guaranteed outcomes before taking action… If you wait for perfect certainty before making a move… You are going to get left behind. In this episode, you'll learn: Why the rulebook disappears at higher levels of leadership How demanding certainty can destroy your ability to execute Why logic and data must guide you through uncertain situations How comfort in chaos separates true leaders from everyone else The truth is simple: Business is not always black and white. Markets shift. Problems appear. Technology changes. Clients evolve. And sometimes you have to make the best decision possible with limited information. That is leadership. Most people panic when things become unclear. High-level operators stay calm. They read the data. They trust their judgment. They move with discipline. And they build the framework while everyone else is waiting for instructions. Stop looking for the manual. Step into the gray. Navigate the chaos. Lead the way. And keep leveling up.

Motivation fades, principles hold. Habits drive action. Mindset shapes perspective. Operating principles guide decisions. Big goals expose weak execution systems.

Everybody says trucking is broken. Rates are soft. Insurance costs are crushing carriers. Operating expenses keep climbing. Every week another trucking company shuts its doors, another owner-operator parks the truck, and another driver wonders if it's still worth it. So here's the question: If trucking is so bad right now, how are some fleets and owner-operators still finding a way to win? On this episode of Brake Check, Charles Gracey sits down with two trucking leaders attacking that problem from completely different angles. JR Elrod, President of BAR Transportation, a 30-year trucking veteran who spent more than two decades hauling heavy freight before building a specialized carrier focused on government, project, and niche freight. Tyler Johnston, General Manager of Mercer Transportation, one of North America's most successful owner-operator carriers, with more than 2,200 contractors and nearly 50 years in business. Topics include: Owner-Operator Survival in 2026 Open Deck & Heavy Haul Freight Trends Soft Freight Markets & Rising Costs Driver Retention & Profitability Insurance Costs Crushing Trucking Carrier-Broker Relationships Small Fleet Survival Strategies The Future of Independent Trucking Whether you're an owner-operator, fleet owner, company driver, broker, shipper, or simply trying to understand where trucking is headed next, this conversation delivers real-world strategies from people living it every day.

Many agency owners proudly hold the pitchfork of independence, but if your firm isn't growing, you are literally losing wealth every single year. The days of treating an agency like a personal lifestyle business while expecting a massive private equity payout are coming to an end.My guest, James Graham, Managing Director at Marsh Berry, joins me to give a "State of the Union" on the M&A landscape in the insurance industry. We break down why the M&A market has shifted from an era of "free money" to highly disciplined buying, why acquirers are intensely scrutinizing Quality of Growth (QofG) and EBITDA margins, and why the drop in public broker organic growth is a massive wake-up call for independent shops. We also discuss the biggest deal-killers in the 11th hour and why the most successful founders have mastered the art of delayed gratification. If you are an agency principal trying to decide whether to scale, partner, or sell, this episode provides the exact roadmap buyers are looking for in 2026.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callcompletegameu.com/agaTimestamped Outline(00:00) Introducing James Graham(03:17) Why Do Agencies Sell?

What if all of the nos and disasters of your life are the start of the exact path God is using to build something bigger?  In this episode, Jeff and Jacob discuss:  Discovering entrepreneurship through networking. Seeing the world how Jesus asks us to. Operating from a place of faith, not fear, regardless of our memory of fear. Learning something every step of the way.    Key Takeaways:  Take the first step - it is more likely to be a curb or a three foot wall, not a cliff.  Start before you know everything. You will be learning throughout the process of whatever you're doing. You are going to miss, both for good and for bad, but you won't know if you don't start. The spirit of fear is not of the Lord. He can do more with us than we think is possible.  You cannot write the end of your story. Just keep going - your story will be worth telling one day.    "The Lord did not give you this vision or this desire or this relentless ability for nothing, and one of two things are going to happen: either the business will come to fruition, the way that you've envisioned it, and the way that the Lord has put on your heart, or it won't, but something will come out of that for the better." —  Jacob Robinson   About Jacob Robinson: Jacob Robinson is the founder of three start-ups including Dig World, a theme park where kids and adults get to operate real construction equipment. 1 Stone Solutions, a commercial cleaning company and DryPort Capital, an industrial outdoor storage real estate firm. He has successfully started, raised funds, built management teams, and executed plans to bring three diverse businesses to life. In 2023, Jacob was recognized as one of the “Most Admired CEOs in Houston” by the Houston Business Journal.

Most independent practice owners know the practice and their personal life are supposed to be separate. Separate entities, separate accounts, separate tax returns. Almost none of them have built the structural separation that makes that true when things get hard. EP185 covers the three systems that explain why one bad quarter in the practice becomes a personal financial event, and the firewall that stops it. System 1 — The Entanglement: No formal salary. No distribution schedule. Whatever is left in the business account goes home with the owner. In a good month: $40,000. Mortgage, 529, investment contribution. In a bad month: $14,000, covered with personal savings. The savings account does not come back as fast as the practice does. System 2 — The Bad Quarter Multiplier: The cascade that runs from a billing disruption straight through to the owner's personal financial decisions. Collections drop. Distribution skipped. Mortgage still goes out. Investment contribution paused. Operational decisions made under financial stress — delay the hire, pull back on marketing, hold off on the software upgrade that would have fixed the billing gap that caused the problem. That practice is always one bad quarter away from making decisions a wealthier version of itself would never make. The Cascade in Numbers: Payer delays 45+ days → Operating account drops → Owner stops paying themselves first Denial rate spikes 5% to 14% → $28K/month delayed or lost → Personal savings tapped for household bills Key provider unexpected leave → Volume drops 30% → No distribution for 60 days Contract renegotiation stalls → 90 days cash flow uncertainty → Investment contributions paused indefinitely System 3 — The Firewall: A market-rate owner salary that does not move with revenue. A distribution schedule tied to net profit after a defined reserve threshold. Personal savings that build independent of what the practice has on hand. In a bad quarter: the salary still goes out, the distribution pauses, and the operational decisions come from strategy instead of personal financial pressure. Referenced: Profit First by Mike Michalowicz — the formula flip that makes the firewall mechanical. Three actions this week: Calculate your real owner salary — what you would pay someone else to do your job Define your operating reserve threshold — one month of payroll minimum, two months standard Schedule a financial separation review with your accountant — ask what a 30% revenue drop does to your personal finances Episode breakdown: 00:00 The $380K practice that one quarter turns 03:00 The big idea: revenue is not wealth 06:00 System 1: The Entanglement 10:30 Working vs. broken — the same practice, two outcomes 13:30 System 2: The Bad Quarter Multiplier 17:00 The cascade and what it actually costs 20:00 System 3: The Firewall 24:30 Profit First applied to a medical practice 27:00 Three actions this week 31:00 Free resource + EP185 tease Resources Mentioned Payment Posting Audit Checklist (free): eligibility.natrevmd.com/payment-posting-checklist Practice Revenue Leak Scorecard (free): eligibility.natrevmd.com/nrm-revenue-scorecard-v3 Book a free 30-minute audit call: calendly.com/heather-natrevmd RECOVER Diagnostic Quiz: natrevmd.com/quiz Book referenced: Profit First by Mike Michalowicz

The competitor who keeps showing up at the events you should be at, getting the press placements you want, and being invited into rooms you've been trying to get into — their product probably isn't better than yours. Their work isn't sharper. They haven't been in the game longer. The only difference is their marketing is doing things yours isn't. In this episode of Running With Wolves, Savannah breaks down why most marketing is mono-marketed — built to open exactly one door — and how to restructure your marketing strategy so it opens doors to press, partnerships, speaking stages, investor introductions and every other opportunity your business needs to scale beyond revenue alone. Here's what this episode covers: Why sales-only marketing is invisible to everyone except the people about to buy from you The difference between floor content and ceiling content — and how to shift from one to the other Why the room shows up to confirm what your marketing has already claimed — not to take a bet on you How to identify the three doors you want opened and aim your marketing at the humans who hold the keys Apply to work with Savannah HERE: http://bit.ly/applywlfpodcast or DM her on Instagram @itssavannahjordan ( / itssavannahjordan ) with your takeaway. marketing strategy, floor vs ceiling signaling, open doors with marketing, speaking engagements, press placements, organic marketing 2026, brand building, female founder

Before we get into the week - I'm running a free class on Wednesday 17th June where I'll show you how to read the shape of your own second half of 2026: where your green lights are, where to push, where to protect. It's the kind of thing I'd normally only do with a paying client. Grab your spot here: https://hollybray.com/rewired  This week's CEO Brief is THE WORTH, and the board is asking you to receive. This is the week the good stuff is genuinely on the table: Venus meets Jupiter in Cancer on Tuesday, the two most generous players in the chart shaking hands, and Venus moves into Leo by Saturday. So the whole week tilts toward receiving and being seen. Your only job is to not get in its way - to take what's coming at full size instead of shrinking it, discounting it, or bracing for it to be snatched back. Inside this episode: the full week mapped day by day (where to push, where to hold, where the doubt lands and why not to believe it), your department check-ins by element so you can run the week through your own Sun, Moon and Rising, the card for the week, and the one capacity move that makes the whole thing land. This is a weekly operating brief for founders who want to run their business with the sky instead of feeling at the mercy of it - not a horoscope, an operating system.

What is required from both instructors and students to teach and learn clinical judgment? Our EMS profession is a place where right answers are not always cut and dry and grace might be the most important skill in the room.  In this episode, guest Jeff Anderson, Paramedic Program Director at Bossier Parish Community College joins hosts Maia Dorsett, Hilary Gates and Ginger Locke for an honest, humbling conversation about what it really takes to teach clinical judgment. They dig into the gap between what students hear in the classroom and what they absorb in the field, why preceptors and educators can be in tension and how educators can struggle with ego and reactivity. They share real stories from their programs, talk through how they handle their own emotional reactions, and offer practical advice for educators trying to make peace with a profession that doesn't fit neatly into a protocol.  Whether you're a program director, a preceptor, or someone still figuring out how to teach the grey, this one's for you.Rob Lawrence provides the "Rob Recap."Mentioned in the episode:Daniel Kahneman, "Thinking Fast and Slow": https://www.amazon.com/Thinking-Fast-Slow-Daniel-Kahneman/dp/0374533555Pat Croskerry, Clinical Decision Making: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp1303712The EMS Educator is published on the first Friday of every month!

In "Short Lines, Big Impact: How Short Line Railroads Power America's Supply Chain" Joe Lynch and Joey Evans, Senior Director, Government Affairs & Business Development, TNW Corporation, discuss how Class III short line railroads leverage technology, sustainability, and first-and-last-mile service to keep American commerce moving. About Joey Evans Joey Evans is the Senior Director, Government Affairs & Business Development, TNW Corporation. He is a seasoned rail industry professional with over 20 years of experience, leading TNW's development and execution of government affairs and strategic growth initiatives. His role oversees legislative strategy, public funding efforts, real estate and industrial development projects, and supports acquisition and expansion activities aligned with the company's long-term objectives. Joey serves as President of the Texas Short Line and Regional Railroad Association (TSLRRA) and is a member of the TxDOT Freight Advisory Committee. His career spans various leadership roles across the short line railroad industry. Prior to his current position, he led Customer Success for TNW, encompassing customer service, revenue protection, and infrastructure technology. His journey began as a conductor and engineer, where hands-on experience laid the foundation for his transition into management. About TNW Corporation TNW Corporation owns and operates three short line railroads — TXNW Railway, TXGN Railway, and TXR Railway — along with multiple rail logistics facilities across Texas, serving as a strategic supply chain partner to industries, shippers, fleet managers, and Class I railroads. With more than 40 years of transportation logistics experience, TNW delivers the efficiency, reliability, and customer service that keep North American commerce moving. TXNW Railway, operating in the Texas Panhandle since 1982, is a One-Stop Supercenter and boasts the largest privately owned railcar storage capacity in the United States. TXGN Railway, also a One-Stop Supercenter, has served central Texas since 1992, operating approximately 67 miles of storage and loop track with Union Pacific interchange. TXR Railway, based in Brownwood, serves the Camp Bowie Industrial Area and interchanges with BNSF Railroad. TNW's full suite of services includes rapid interchange, transloading, railcar storage, repair, cleaning, scrapping, warehousing, and rail-served industrial development. Key Takeaways: Short Lines, Big Impact: How Short Line Railroads Power America's Supply Chain In "Short Lines, Big Impact: How Short Line Railroads Power America's Supply Chain" Joe Lynch and Joey Evans, Senior Director, Government Affairs & Business Development, TNW Corporation, discuss how Class III short line railroads leverage technology, sustainability, and first-and-last-mile service to keep American commerce moving. Revenue, Not Track Length, Defines Railroad Classes: Railroad classification is strictly determined by annual revenue, not physical distance. Class I railroads (the "interstates" like BNSF and UP) exceed $1 billion in annual revenue, Class II regional railroads fall between $1 billion and $47 million, and Class III short lines—where TNW Corporation operates—fall below $47 million. Short Lines Serve as the "First and Last Mile" for Rural America: While Class I railroads excel at long-distance freight movement, North America's 615 short line railroads provide essential first- and last-mile service to industrial parks and rural communities. Operating in smaller towns (often under 15,000 people), short lines keep vital agricultural, manufacturing, and petrochemical hubs connected to the national rail network. Lowering the Barrier to Entry with Truck-to-Rail Conversions: Because one railcar holds the equivalent capacity of four trucks (4:1 ratio), TNW launched a dedicated logistics and transloading business. This allows smaller regional shippers within a 50-to-100-mile radius to enjoy the economic benefits of rail by breaking bulk rail loads down into local trucks, without requiring a massive capital investment in dedicated track infrastructure. High-Volume Commodities and Major Public-Private Infrastructure Investments: Short lines primarily handle heavy, bulk commodities like petrochemicals, plastics, lumber, agricultural yields, and construction aggregates (rock). To support these loads, short lines reinvest a massive 33% to 50% of their annual revenue into infrastructure, a timeline accelerated by federal CRISI (Consolidated Rail Infrastructure Safety Improvement) grants to expand track fluidity. Transitioning from Rail's Historic "Black Hole" to High-Tech Visibility: Spurred by rising post-COVID consumer expectations (the "Amazon experience"), TNW developed a proprietary digital portal called My TNW. This tool eliminates the historic visibility "black hole" of rail shipping by providing customers with complete data transparency, allowing them to track cars across both TNW property and intersecting Class I networks. Embracing AI and Autonomous Infrastructure Safety: The rail industry is heavily adopting AI, autonomous railcars, and automated track inspection tools. These automated systems travel the lines to instantly pinpoint structural micro-cracks, gauge misalignments, or railcar defects. Removing the human error factor from these tedious inspections helped the rail sector chart its safest operational year in its 200-year history in 2025. Meeting Corporate ESG Targets Through "Clean and Green" Operations: Rail remains one of the most inherently sustainable modes of land transportation, moving a ton of freight roughly 500 miles on a single gallon of fuel. Beyond fuel efficiency, TNW helps shippers meet strict corporate environmental goals by certifying all properties under Operation Clean Sweep, which enforces strict handling frameworks to prevent plastic pellets and commodities from spilling into local ecosystems.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Adonis Lockett. Titles: Private Capital Expert, Real Estate Investor, EducatorBackground: Former engineer for NASA, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, CaterpillarHost: Rushion McDonaldPodcast: Money Making Conversations Masterclass Adonis Lockett details his transition from aerospace engineering into real estate and private capital, explaining how he built wealth not just by flipping houses—but by operating on “the money side of real estate.” The interview demystifies private lending, access to capital, and how everyday individuals can participate in wealth-building without owning property themselves. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: Expose a lesser-known path to real estate wealth—private money and capital brokering. Challenge myths about cash buyers, flipping profits, and bank lending. Educate listeners on leverage and capital access, especially those rejected by traditional banks. Provide a practical alternative income stream that can be part-time or full-time. Introduce Adonis’s “Smart Money Blueprint” as an educational pathway into private capital. Key Themes & Takeaways 1. Engineering Was a Backup—Entrepreneurship Was the Goal Adonis earned a degree in Electrical & Mechanical Engineering, never intending to stay long-term in corporate. His engineering career provided income stability while he explored entrepreneurship. He viewed employment as predictable—but limiting. Takeaway: A high-paying job can fund your exit, not define your destiny. 2. The Leap Into Real Estate—and the Reality Behind It His first deal closed in 62 days, earning more than his annual engineering salary. He quit corporate at age 23, but what followed were four to five years of financial struggle. He survived by borrowing money monthly while peers thrived in corporate roles. Key insight: Early wins can be misleading—longevity requires business mastery, not just intelligence. 3. Ego vs. Education Adonis admits his biggest mistake was underestimating the need to learn business. He relied on intelligence and people skills instead of mentorship and systems. Perseverance saved him—but mentorship could have shortened the learning curve. Takeaway: Hustle without instruction costs time and money. 4. “The Money Isn’t in Real Estate—The Money Is in the Money” This is the core philosophy of the interview. Most “cash buyers” are not using their own cash. Over 70% of cash purchases are funded by private lenders, not banks. Private lenders deploy capital faster, with fewer requirements, and higher flexibility. Key idea: Control the capital, and you control the transaction. 5. Understanding the Private Lending Model Adonis explains how people make money without buying houses: He acts as a capital broker, connecting investors to private lenders. He earns 1–2% fees on loan amounts—often tens of thousands per deal. He carries no risk, no liability, and no capital exposure in many cases. Example:A $600,000 investment loan × 2% = $12,000 fee for facilitating the introduction. 6. Why Private Money Beats Banks Banks require: Credit checks Tax returns Debt-to-income ratios Long approval timelines Private lenders often: Skip credit checks Ignore DTI Deploy funds in 3–5 days Focus solely on deal viability Takeaway: A bank’s “no” is often exactly why private lenders say “yes.” 7. The Smart Money Blueprint Adonis created the Smart Money Blueprint to teach this system: Focuses on the money side of real estate Self-paced education (10+ hours) Hands-on deal execution Live support until students close 10 deals Designed to eliminate costly trial-and-error Core promise: Learn to be “the bank” without needing money. 8. Flipping Isn’t What It Looks Like on TV Adonis breaks down common investor mistakes: Gross profit ≠ net profit Fees, holding costs, and market shifts erase margins Most “$100K flips” net closer to $30K–$40K Lesson: Education protects profits. 9. Relationships Create Wealth—Not Transactions Early in his career, Adonis underestimated relationships. His business scaled once he aligned with high-volume investors and repeat partners. Capital flows through trust networks, not ads. Takeaway: Relationships are currency. 10. Flexible Path to Income The private money model can be: Part-time: 2–4 hours per week Full-time: Income replacement or exponential growth Key point: This is about leverage, not labor. Notable Quotes “The money isn’t in real estate—the money is in the money.” “Most cash buyers aren’t cash buyers at all.” “I was flat broke for years after quitting corporate—people don’t talk about that part.” “A bank’s no is often the reason a private lender says yes.” “Perseverance kept me alive—but mentorship would have saved me years.” “You don’t need money to be the bank—you need knowledge.” Overall Impact This interview reframes real estate success away from property ownership and toward capital intelligence. Adonis Lockett offers listeners a nontraditional, scalable, and low-risk path to wealth—particularly powerful for: Professionals stuck in high-paying jobs Entrepreneurs denied bank loans Real estate investors seeking leverage Individuals looking for alternative income streams Final message: If you understand money, you don’t need to chase property—property comes to you. #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
