Control can look a lot like leadership. But it's control. In this episode of Roots of Success, McFarlin Stanford facilitator Kevin Keim tackles one of the most expensive blind spots in the landscape industry: owners who have accidentally trained their teams to wait for permission on everything. Kevin walks through what real delegation looks like versus abdication, a four-part framework for transferring genuine ownership, and five questions that reveal exactly where you are the bottleneck, so you can start removing yourself from the day-to-day before it removes you from the work that matters.   THE BIG IDEA: Create the Systems so you are no longer the system   KEY MOMENTS: •        [00:30] Welcome — Kevin Keim Introduces the Owner's Blind Spot: You're the Bottleneck [01:00] The Pattern: Your Team Is Behaving Exactly the Way You Trained Them [03:00] Delegation vs. Abdication: The Distinction That Changes Everything [04:15] The Four-Part Delegation Framework: Outcome, Ownership, Authority, Accountability [06:30] Outcome vs. Process: Why the Path Matters Less Than the Result [08:00] Five Diagnostic Questions Every Owner Should Ask Themselves [10:30] Question 3 — What Information Exists Primarily in My Head? [12:00] Bundled Services, Flat Fees, and Sales Thresholds: Creating Systems That Eliminate the Ask [13:30] "Buy Back Your Time": Technology, SOPs, and Training as Long-Term Investments [15:00] "Create Those Systems — and You Are No Longer the System"     Questions we answer. •        How do I know if I'm actually the bottleneck in my own company? •        What's the difference between delegation and abdication — and why does it matter? •        What does real delegation sound like when you hand off a task or responsibility? •        What is the outcome / ownership / authority / accountability framework and how do I use it? •        How do I stop accidentally training my team to wait for my permission? •        Is it ever okay to give feedback on how someone completed a task — even if the outcome was right? •        What's the best way to capture tribal knowledge that only lives in my head? •        How do I set up systems that let my team make decisions without coming to me first? •        What thresholds or guardrails should I set so my team knows when they don't need my approval? •        If I disappeared for two weeks, what would that reveal about my business? •        How do I start removing myself from day-to-day operations without everything falling apart?

So when Heather sat down with European consultant Cristiana Carpini, the question she really wanted answered was whether property managers on the other side of the Atlantic are talking about it too, or whether something else entirely is keeping them awake. The answer was blunt. Margins are shrinking, OTA dependence is rising, owner acquisition is harder, and teams are overloaded. Operators call Cristiana believing AI is the fix, and she tells them what they do not want to hear: AI cannot repair a broken business model, it can only automate a broken business faster. From there the conversation opens out into the real differences between running this business in Europe and in North America, from GDPR and owner expectations to employment law and competitive culture. It also covers what makes a property management company sellable, why that takes three years rather than three months, and why Cristiana founded the Women Vacation Rental European Conference. About Cristiana Carpini Cristiana Carpini is the founder and CEO of Tara Home Consulting, working with property managers across Europe on audits, business plans, restructuring and exits. She came into the industry by accident after five years as a guest relations manager on cruise ships, then spent years inside the big European brands including Novasol, Interhome and Belvilla, running markets in Italy, France and Croatia. She launched Tara Home Consulting during the pandemic, giving free advice to panicking operators, and never stopped. She is also the founder of the Women Vacation Rental European Conference. Key Takeaways AI cannot repair a broken business model. If the margin structure underneath the business does not work, automation makes the problem arrive faster rather than fixing it. What European operators actually bring to a consultant is shrinking margins, OTA dependence, harder owner acquisition and overloaded teams. AI is further down the list than the conference circuit suggests. Owner relationships are the one thing not to automate. Cristiana describes an owner who complained about pricing when the real problem was his mother's illness and his need for more money. No AI would have surfaced that. Europe is not one market. Drive two hours and you are in a different country with different tax, language, rules and owner expectations. Southern European owners are emotionally attached to their homes; northern European owners often are not. Employment rules vary just as sharply. An Italian employee may accept a 24 hour emergency call-out where a French employee is protected by far stricter rules, so expansion planning has to account for labor law, not just demand. Preparing a company for sale usually takes three years. Sell faster than that and you leave money on the table, because valuation looks at reviews, brand, website and direct bookings, not just EBITDA. The business has to become independent of its founder. Heather hired her own replacement three years before selling Cottage Link, precisely so the buyer was not buying a company that only worked with her in it. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

It helps protect the lender against certain title-related risks such as: ✔️ Fraud or forgery ✔️ Title defects ✔️ Registration errors ✔️ Unknown liens or ownership issues This policy protects the lender's mortgage, not the homeowner. Owner Policy An owner title insurance policy protects the property owner. It can help cover losses related to certain title issues affecting ownership, such as: ✔️ Title fraud ✔️ Boundary or survey issues (depending on coverage) ✔️ Title defects ✔️ Certain encroachments or undiscovered title problems The key difference: Lender Policy = protects the lender's mortgage interest Owner Policy = protects the homeowner's ownership interest Understanding title insurance is an important concept in real estate and mortgage education. #AlbertaRealEstateSchool #PassYourRECAExam #HowToBecomeARealtorInAlberta #HowToBecomeAMortgageBrokerInAlberta #RealEstateEducation

The hardest part of life in the North isn't the weather, the long days, or even the problems that show up at the dock when you're already running flat out. It's realizing you can't hold on to every season forever. This goodbye is personal, bittersweet, and honest: a final reflection on what a fishing lodge on the French River in Ontario can create when you do it with your whole heart. We talk about the mantra that guided us through chaos and calm alike: they come as guests and they leave as family. That single idea shaped how we treated people, how we handled mistakes, and how we built trust with returning anglers and travellers. You'll hear a classic lodge story that captures it perfectly, when a checkout-day fishing run turns into a rescue mission, a dead engine, and one unforgettable soundtrack: Tina singing “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” in a Russian accent while Ross rows, furious, across open water. From there, we zoom out to the bigger truth behind lodge life and outdoor hospitality: the real legacy is relationships. We share gratitude for the guests who became lifelong friends, the staff who carried the place on their shoulders, and the mentors who quietly made a difference, including Angelo Viola and the people who helped bring the podcast to life through Outdoor Journal Radio and Fish'n Canada. If you care about the Canadian wilderness, fishing lodge culture, and the kind of storytelling that's built on real places and real people, this one will land. If these stories meant something to you, please subscribe, share the episode with a friend who loves the outdoors, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.

Growing a franchise system means leading people who are already leaders themselves.In this episode of The Franchise Advisory Board Podcast, ClientTether CEO Dave Hansen sits down with Jason Sant, Owner and CEO of Team Up Athletics, for a practical conversation about franchise leadership, communication, technology, field support, and the lessons that come from growing a young franchise system.Team Up Athletics began franchising in 2022 and has grown to 46 operating locations. The business serves schools, recreation programs, athletic teams, and businesses with uniforms, equipment, apparel, promotional products, and related services.Jason explains that one of the earliest challenges of franchising was learning how to support owners with different personalities, professional backgrounds, experience levels, and approaches to business.Rather than treating that diversity only as a challenge, Team Up Athletics has worked to turn it into a strength.The company encourages owners to communicate with one another, uses its Franchise Advisory Board to gather feedback, stays connected through regular meetings and internal communication channels, and continually evaluates where systems and processes need to improve.Thanks to ClientTether, our episode sponsor. ClientTether provides franchise CRM software that helps franchise brands organize lead communication, automate follow-up, and maintain visibility across customer and franchise development processes.Jason also discusses Team Up Athletics' approach to technology. The brand has moved from spreadsheets and more manual workflows toward proprietary software designed to simplify the work happening behind the scenes. His guiding question when evaluating changes is straightforward: Will this make the franchisee's life easier? That philosophy applies beyond technology.Jason talks about using KPIs and milestones to know when an owner may need additional coaching, while recognizing that franchisees are independent business owners who need room to operate. He also shares why advice sometimes has more influence when it comes from another successful franchisee instead of the corporate office.Throughout the episode, listeners will learn:• How Team Up Athletics supports owners with different personalities and backgrounds• Why open communication with franchisees can strengthen the entire system• How Franchise Advisory Boards can help leadership hear different perspectives• Why peer-to-peer coaching can increase adoption of best practices• How KPIs help determine when a franchisee needs more support• Why staying connected to the field keeps franchisor leadership relevant• What Team Up Athletics looks for in franchise field support• How technology can simplify operations without replacing strong leadershipFor growing brands, franchise management software and other operating tools can provide useful infrastructure, but Jason's experience reinforces a larger point: systems are only as valuable as the people using them and the problems they solve.Jason also reflects on the reality of becoming a franchisor. Growth does not happen automatically once franchise agreements are signed. Leaders still have to show up, build relationships, refine the system, and support owners as they build their businesses.Thanks for listening to the Franchise Advisory Board Podcast, where we explore the ideas, strategies, and people shaping the future of franchising.If you found today's episode valuable, please subscribe, rate, and share it with a fellow franchise leader.

If robotic automation is becoming inevitable in utility-scale solar, where does that thesis run into the realities of actually building a power plant?That's the question behind today's episode.We start with Nick de Vries, CTO of Silicon Ranch, to ask what an owner actually wants from automation. Nick's answer sets the standard: the technology matters only if it improves safety, quality, repeatability, and the performance of an asset Silicon Ranch expects to own for decades.Then Matt Campbell, CEO of Terabase, takes us into the field, where his team is applying manufacturing principles to solar construction. That's where an important constraint emerges. Robots can move and place modules remarkably well, but some of the work that experienced crews make look simple becomes much harder when every action has to be repeatable.One deceptively small interface keeps surfacing: the point where the module actually attaches to the structure.That leads Nico to Frédéric Laure, VP of Diversification at ARaymond North America, to understand why fastening, tolerances, torque, and component design become different problems once machines enter the workflow.The bigger lesson isn't simply about robots or fasteners. It's about constructability.If what we are seeking is manufacturing-level throughput in the field, more of the variability may need to be engineered out long before construction begins.Listen in to hear where solar automation is working, where the real-world constraints still live, and what the industry may need to redesign next.Paid partnership: This Tactical Tuesday was produced with support from ARaymond.Are there other technologies you've scouted on the frontlines of the Clean Energy Revolution that you think we should be covering here on SunCast?

SummaryDom Beveridge, Founder of 20for20, returns to Modern Multifamily for the eighth edition of his annual white paper, built on 20 structured, open-ended interviews with multifamily executives. Host Mike Wolber, Chief Sales Officer at Apartment List, digs into the word that kept surfacing this year (exhaustion), why a balance sheet industry finds three years of P&L focus so draining, and how centralization now looks settled for owner operators while third party managers still depend on their owners to roll it out.The conversation then turns to tech bloat: community managers with more than 40 logins, the third of operators now running tech freezes and shedding applications, the VC funding model that quietly drives over-buying, and the 6 companies Dom calls AI first, who are configuring their organizations around automation instead of buying widgets. Dom closes with his early read on 2027: a possible peak in the proptech VC wave and a push to simplify the resident application process. For multifamily operators, marketers and anyone selling technology into real estate.Chapters00:00 Why a digital leasing assistant isn't an AI strategy00:46 The 20for20 thesis after eight editions03:15 Owner operators versus third party managers on centralization05:36 Exhaustion becomes the word of the year09:39 Tech bloat, tech freezes and cutting 40 apps to 2014:50 Shifting sands for proptech vendors17:52 The VC model and the tech bloat trade-off20:18 AI first operators versus widget buyers26:27 Conversion rates when AI nurtures every lead32:06 The 2027 outlook: peak VC and simpler applicationsTakeaways- Exhaustion is structural: a balance sheet industry has spent 3 years focused on NOI while also changing how it operates, and the same second-half recovery has been predicted 3 years running.- Community managers routinely carry more than 40 logins, and getting rid of technology is at least as hard as acquiring it.- About a third of operators now treat shedding tech as a formal initiative, with tech freezes and one large owner operator cutting from the low 40s to under 20 applications.- The VC model that gives startups access to LP operators creates an incentive to roll out software most portfolio companies will never grow into.- AI first operators configure the organization around automation and ask software to tell them how to improve, while most of the industry still reflexively buys widgets like a digital leasing assistant.Connect with the GuestDom Beveridge LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dombeveridge/Company Website: https://20for20.com

Dedicated to finding loving homes for America's wild mustangs, Siyon has built a community focused on adoption, education, and giving these iconic horses a second chance.Siyon shares the story behind the adoption center, the unique challenges and rewards of working with wild horses.  This conversation offers a fascinating look at the effort to preserve the legacy of the American mustang, one horse at a time.

Social media has changed who gets to tell stories—and who audiences turn to for information. Influencers can reach thousands of people instantly, sometimes faster than traditional news organizations. But at the end of the day, influencers are not journalists. New Orleans influencer Aubrey Avocado joins us to discuss the power of having an audience, the trust that comes with it, and the distinction she sees between content creation and investigative reporting.New Orleans' independent music venues face rising costs and growing competition from larger entertainment companies and ticketing platforms. Now, The Howlin' Wolf is taking one of those platforms to federal court. The venue is suing StubHub, alleging its practices can make tickets appear scarce and push fans toward the resale market where they may pay more. StubHub says the venue's claims are without merit. Howie Kaplan owns The Howlin' Wolf and is a longtime advocate for independent venues. He's also the former director of the city's Office of Nighttime Economy. He joins us with more. Across Mississippi, dozens of residents made their voices heard at hearings hosted by Mississippi's Joint Legislative Redistricting Committee. The Gulf States Newsroom's Maya Miller visited Natchez and Meridian to hear their concerns about mid-decade redistricting. __Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Sara Henegan.

    Slam The Gavel welcomes Rick Lobo to the podcast. Rick has recently published his book, "The Trifecta Code,  When Crisis Becomes the Catalyst for Profound Change," #1 Best Seller on Amazon in August, 2026. This memoir is about making the journey through the hardest seasons of life instead of walking around them.     On 10-4-2019, Rick's father showed up on his doorstep, unannounced. He explained to his son, that his wife, Rick's mother - who has mental illness - had attacked him. Rick was suddenly the one who had to figure out what happened. He was advised to pursue a conservatorship. However no one told Rick how hard that process would be. A Temporary Conservatorship was granted in 2020. Covid hit in March and everything got pushed back in the courts. What followed was three years of a battle Rick had not expected. Not just against the courts, but against his whole family. His mother had passed away on 9-20-23. Rick had seen her four days earlier. Rick is still in the battle to this day.....To Reach Rick Lobo: ricklobo.comSupportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcast?si=INW9XaTyprKsaDkl https://capsmovement.org TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetrihttps://substack.com/@maryannpetri?r=kd7n6&utm_medium=iosInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryannEzlegalsuit.com   https://ko-fi.com/maryannpetrihttps://www.zazzle.com/store/slam_the_gavel/aboout*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

We will be exploring the Dark Side of Technology. Tech is growing faster than we can keep up with, and as we jump aboard with both feet in, are we unknowingly opening Gateways to malevolent negative energies who are setting us up for potential attachments?

About Dr. Macklin -Christopher Macklin presents an eye opening interview and understanding on how common and prevalent entities are and how they are manipulating scenarios around the planet through influencing and impacting governments and individuals, ultimately resulting in the current state of affairs in the world we are witnessing today.... that is culminating in planetary destabilization as well as the destruction of individual's lives, their well being and their quality of life. Is anyone on the planet untouched by their destructive and manipulative reach? Christopher has had interactions with both positive and negative races. As a very young child, reptilians would appear in his room and he learned even at that very young age how to stop them from interfering in his life and leave. He's had interactions with other negative races such as the Archons, Annunaki, Draconians and Snake beings. Inversely, there are also positive races that have been present on the planet, races like the Pleidians, Arcturians, Sirians and Lumerians. Their presence here has been for the purpose of helping humanity transcend the current levels of manipulation and negativity. Christopher works very closely with some of these races as well. Christopher specializes in healing abductees and others who have suffered related negative ET trauma. For over 14 years, Dr. Macklin assists people in removing negative ET presences from their lives, clearing homes and land, and closing multidimensional portals.

Most roofing companies have one way to make money: replace the roof. Joel Stark built a second one, and it took Go Nano from 14 contractors to 517.Grab the free Scaling Playbook: https://ownersos.com/scaling-playbook?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=ownersos&utm_content=how-to-add-a-second-revenue-stream-to-your-roofing-businessOn the D2D Podcast, James Edwards sits down with Joel Stark, COO of Go Nano, the roof rejuvenation company. Joel explains how a treatment that restores flexibility to aging shingles gives roofing contractors a second vertical, one that turns the homeowners who aren't ready to replace into paying customers instead of dead leads. He also breaks down the leadership that made the growth possible: why he stopped doing all the work himself, why he hires people stronger than he is, and why he considers himself in the people business no matter what industry he's standing in.Joel Stark came up through construction, served in the Army, spent 18 years in hospitality operations, and moved into roofing in upstate New York before joining Go Nano roughly five years ago, growing its contractor network from 14 to 517.Questions this episode answers:What is roof rejuvenation and how does it work?Does roof rejuvenation actually extend the life of a roof?How can a roofing contractor add a second revenue stream?How do you scale a contractor network?How do you know when to stop doing the work yourself?What you'll learn in this episode:How roof rejuvenation works and why it makes aging shingles flexible againWhy it turns "not ready to replace" homeowners into revenue instead of lost leadsThe four-win model: the homeowner, the environment, the contractor, and Go NanoThe Law of the Lid, and why your own ceiling becomes the company's ceilingWhy Joel hires people stronger than himself and delegates by what he's good at and enjoysWhy he says he's in the people business, whether that's the Army, hospitality, or roofingHere's the thing: your company stops growing exactly where you stop growing.

In this episode of the Uncaged Clinician Podcast, David Bayliff sits down with Amber Rice and Liz Aiello of Summited Solutions to talk about the behind-the-scenes challenges that can keep clinicians from actually growing their businesses. Amber and Liz share why practice owners need to make the mindset shift from working in the business to working on the business, and how fractional support can give smaller and growing practices access to expertise without immediately adding full-time overhead. They unpack practical strategies for identifying the gaps in your business, tracking the right KPIs, finding cash-flow leaks, improving operational workflows, delegating administrative tasks, and knowing when it's time to bring support in-house. The conversation also dives into hiring and culture—why finding someone with the right skills isn't enough, why mission and values matter, and why relationships and word-of-mouth can be powerful tools for finding the right people. Whether you're a solo clinician, a growing practice owner, or building toward multiple locations, this episode will challenge you to stop trying to do everything yourself and start building the infrastructure, team, and systems that allow your practice to grow with intention. In this episode, you'll learn: Why clinicians need to shift from working in the business to working on the business How fractional support can help growing practices without the cost of a full-time executive How to identify operational and financial leaks in your practice Which KPIs actually matter—and why you don't need to track 25 different numbers How missed phone calls and poor intake systems can cost more than a single patient Why delegation can create mental space for the work you're actually gifted to do The difference between revenue, net income, and healthy margins How to build the right infrastructure as your practice grows Why culture and values should play a major role in hiring decisions How compliance, HIPAA, and cybersecurity become increasingly important as you grow If you're ready to build a practice that supports your life instead of requiring your life to support the business, this conversation is for you.

“You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.” – Wayne Gretzky, ‘The Great One' A fellow like me rarely gets to interview the chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) on his show, let alone get the opportunity in the first place. The statistics say that it is a near-zero probability. The Brian D. O'Leary Show is a relatively small podcast. It's growing, though we mostly talk about sports on the show these days. Nevertheless, it happened. He came on our show. The guy we had zero chance of booking took time out of his day to join us. On Friday morning, we were fortunate to interview David M. Rubenstein, author of the new book, “INSIDE THE OWNER'S BOX: Conversations on Power and Leadership in Sports” (Simon & Schuster / September 22, 2026). The conversation centered on sports, however. Not foreign policy or politics. Rubenstein is indeed the chairman of the CFR, a prestigious think tank that includes politicians, high-ranking government officials, bankers, lawyers, businessmen, professors, and prominent media figures. To sports fans today, though, he is probably better known as the owner of the Baltimore Orioles, a club in which he bought a controlling interest in 2024. A Baltimore native, Rubenstein said buying the Orioles was a philanthropic gesture to lift up his hometown. This is precisely the type of sports-related traditionalism we champion here on our platform. Local owners. Local interest. Local passion. Real rivalry. Real competition. Cities and communities need something to believe in. When I was growing up in Portland, we believed in the Blazers. “Blazer Believer” signs and t-shirts were ubiquitous in the Rose City during the heyday of the Trail Blazers. We believed. Winning a lot certainly helped, though the Trail Blazers have only won one World Championship. Portland's love affair with the Blazers was about the people. Not only the players and coaches, but the ownership. Owner Paul Allen was not from Portland. He was from the Seattle area, but he gave Portland a huge gift and a huge lift by buying and investing in its basketball team. The city government never appreciated the gift Allen gave the city and the fans. Perhaps Rubenstein can give Baltimore what Allen gave to Portland. Hopefully the politicos don't squander the gift like what happened in Portland. Baltimore and Portland have both fallen on hard times thanks to societal unrest, poor leadership, and virtually zero accountability. HBO's series The Wire showed a side of the Charm City that most Baltimoreans would prefer not to see and certainly don't care to address. Portland was parodied in the sophomoric Portlandia, starring Saturday Night Live's Fred Armisen. That series left many longtime Portlanders shaking their collective heads in disgust and bewilderment. “We're nothing but a punchline,” said many. To be fair, there may have been a chuckle here and there from those who watched on occasion. The producers of Portlandia even had a paid subscriber to UNRELENTING and guest on our show, Dwight Jaynes, guest-star in their program. In Portland, there was also Grimm, an NBC show that yours truly had a bit part in. One scene. One episode. But that show was literally the fairy-tale version of the Rose City. Again, take the shots on goal. You might not put everyone past the goalie, but as Gretzky said, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. Fight for your city, your state, your country, if you believe in it at all. Fight for your family. A remnant out there still fights for and has passion for their hometown. At its core, it's a patriotic instinct. The problems in today's cities are bigger than money. Solving them requires effort, vision, and passion. Portland has a few patriotic citizens. Some have vision, some have passion, and a few are willing to make the effort. Not enough, however. In Baltimore, David Rubenstein is the man of the hour. He's trying to turn around the city that he was raised in. His first step was buying a controlling interest in the Orioles in 2024. When Rubenstein grew up, Baltimore was the 9th biggest city in the nation, approaching 1 million residents. It's a little more than half that size now. For generations now, Baltimore's biggest export has been its people. In our short interview, Rubenstein and I touched on some important topics. We talked about the Orioles' history of largely Baltimore-connected owners, the challenges of building a winning franchise, and the disappointment of a recent playoff elimination despite increased payroll, major stadium upgrades, and an injury-plagued 2026 season. Rubenstein explained modern sports ownership structures, including the role of a controlling owner, growing private equity participation through minority stakes, and his firm's (Carlyle Group) sports investments, including a recent investment in the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks. He also addressed my question about the rise of legalized sports gambling, which led to his take on the integrity risks of prop bets, and the need to educate and police players. One takeaway In his book, Rubenstein writes: I am pleased that I made the investment. I think it did—and will—help with the ongoing rejuvenation of Baltimore. I reconnected with my hometown and friends from my youth. I learned more about a sport that I had relished as a boy. And I felt that I was part of a team of professionals trying hard to bring glory back to Baltimore. I hope he is correct. And I hope he is successful. For Baltimore. For sports. For the nation. *** Buy the Book Click the link to buy at Amazon. “INSIDE THE OWNER'S BOX: Conversations on Power and Leadership in Sports” (Simon & Schuster / September 22, 2026). *** About the Episode Chapters ♦ Meet David Rubenstein ♦ Baltimore Roots and Civic Pride ♦ Adley Rutschman Trade and Baseball Fandom ♦ Baltimore Baseball History ♦ Private Equity in Sports ♦ Fans and Community Identity ♦ Sports Gambling and Integrity ♦ Local Owners vs Outsiders ♦ Orioles Season and Next Year ♦ Camden Yards Renovations ♦ Roster Notes and Wrap Up *** About the Guest DAVID M.
