    Ep. 201: The Dirty Side of Farming: Livestock Semen, Ag Education & Government Payments

    This week on Talk Dirt to Me, we're diving head-first into your burning questions, and things get wild. Ever wondered how farmers collect semen from bulls, horses, and even pigs? We break it down with some gritty, no-BS farm talk. We also tackle the big question in ag economics: what's the best way to learn it? Should you invest in a college degree, or can you gain just as much (maybe more) from hands-on ag extension courses? Then, we shift gears into one of the hottest topics in agriculture today: farm payments. This is a subject we've been outspoken about in the past, but with the extreme situation farmers are facing in today's ag world, we actually find ourselves rethinking our stance. You'll hear us debate it, wrestle with the realities, and share how our perspective has evolved. Whether you're a farmer, rancher, ag student, or just curious about the gritty truth of modern farming, this episode brings the heat with honest conversation, wild stories, and unfiltered opinions.

    Jared Ronski, Co-founder and President of Payarc, takes us behind the scenes of how modern payment technology is empowering independent sales agents and merchants alike.The conversation reveals Payarc's unique approach to partner relationships, where "growth through alignment" isn't just a catchy phrase but a business philosophy that has kept agents loyal since the company's earliest days. At a time when margins are under pressure and regulations constantly shift, Payarc has doubled down on relationship equity, transparency, and technological innovation.The spotlight shines on Payarc's groundbreaking PIE AI pricing advisor, a tool that transforms the traditionally time-consuming process of statement analysis into a streamlined, self-service experience. "It's like having a seasoned sales coach whispering in your ear during merchant conversations," Ronski explains. This AI-powered assistant helps agents confidently navigate complex pricing structures, even in challenging verticals like microtransactions where interchange economics can quickly erode profits if mishandled.What truly sets Payarc apart is their approach to agent relationships – treating them "like enterprise customers" with dedicated support teams, shared dashboards showing real-time data, and proactive risk monitoring that spots potential issues before they affect merchant processing. While some industry voices have long predicted the decline of the agent model, Ronski sees the opposite trend, with Payarc signing new agents daily and creating pathways for them to thrive in evolving markets.Listen now to discover how Payarc is turning payment complexity into opportunity and building lasting partnerships one transaction at a time.

    Donna Adelson Trial: Clariza Spoltore Testifies on Dental Office Payments and Family Finances

    Donna Adelson Trial: Clariza Spoltore Testifies on Dental Office Payments and Family Finances The Trial of Donna Adelson took a turn into the world of the Adelson family's dental practice when Clariza Spoltore—a longtime dental assistant who worked for Dr. Harvey Adelson for forty years—took the stand. Her testimony gave jurors an insider's view of the Adelson Institute, the family-run office where both Harvey and Charlie Adelson worked, and where financial dealings may have overlapped with the murder-for-hire plot against Dan Markel. Spoltore testified that throughout her decades of service, she never saw Katherine Magbanua—the woman prosecutors say acted as the go-between in the murder plot—working in the office. Yet, Magbanua appeared to receive payments tied to the practice, raising serious red flags. Spoltore also explained that only Donna and Dr. Harvey Adelson had access to certain records, underscoring the level of control they maintained over finances and administration. On cross-examination, the defense pressed Spoltore on whether she had ever heard Donna speak poorly of Dan Markel. She said no—she had never personally witnessed Donna express hostility toward her former son-in-law. But prosecutors argue the real issue wasn't casual remarks, it was the money trail and the financial records Donna could manage behind closed doors. Why does this matter? Because Spoltore's words help connect the dots between the Adelsons' professional lives and the conspiracy prosecutors allege Donna orchestrated. If Magbanua was being paid without working, those payments could represent hidden compensation for her role in the plot. With her credibility as a loyal employee of four decades, Spoltore's testimony added weight to the prosecution's theory that the family's dental business wasn't just about dentistry—it was also a financial vehicle for covering up a murder-for-hire scheme. #DonnaAdelsonTrial #ClarizaSpoltore #AdelsonInstitute #DonnaAdelson #CharlieAdelson #KatherineMagbanua #DanMarkel #TrueCrime #FloridaTrial #CourtroomDrama

    In this episode of the Canary Cast, Florian Hagenbuch, Co-Founder and General partner at Canary, sits down with Jose Gedeon, co-founder and CEO of Cobre, a Colombian fintech building the real-time B2B payments and cross-border infrastructure powering finance teams across Latin America. From his early fascination with M-Pesa’s case at the University of Pennsylvania, to failed attempts at building his own mobile money business in Colombia, a stint as a consultant at McKinsey New York, and a role at Oyo in Mexico, José shares how each chapter of his journey shaped the vision for Cobre. What started as white-label wallets for meal vouchers during the pandemic evolved into Colombia’s leading real-time B2B payments platform, now expanding rapidly into Mexico and cross-border flows. During the episode, José reflects on the unique challenges of scaling a fintech in LatAm, the pivotal customer moments that unlocked entirely new business lines, and the ambition of turning Cobre into the default infrastructure for payments across the region. In this episode, we dive into: From White-Label Wallets to Infrastructure: How Cobre pivoted from building digital wallets for meal vouchers into real-time B2B payments and treasury management. Cross-Border Breakthroughs: The customer emergency that sparked Cobre’s cross-border product and how it led to a new revenue line. The Role of Stablecoins: Why stablecoins are becoming increasingly relevant in illiquid or high-cost currency corridors like Colombia, Turkey, and Argentina. Scaling in Mexico: How Cobre reached $100M in monthly volume in only 8 months in Mexico—10x faster than in Colombia. Vision for the Future: Why Jose believes it’s still “day zero” for Cobre and how the company aims to become the de facto B2B payment infrastructure for LatAm. Founder Lessons: Biggest mistakes, wins, and the cultural values that define the Cobre team. Whether you’re a founder, operator, or fintech enthusiast, this episode offers a masterclass in product pivots, client-focused culture, scaling infrastructure in emerging markets, and building with ambition in one of the most dynamic regions in the world. Tune in to hear how Cobre is not only modernizing payments in Colombia and Mexico, but also shaping the future of financial infrastructure across Latin America. Guest: Jose GedeonJose is the co-founder and CEO of Cobre, a fintech modernizing B2B payments and cross-border infrastructure in Latin America. Cobre moves billions annually, already processing ~3% of Colombia’s GDP, and recently raised its Series B led by Oak HC/FT, with participation from Canary and other global investors.

Read, Write, Own by Chris DixonTranscrição do Episódio em Português: Hoje, estamos movimentando cerca de 3% do PIB da Colômbia dentro da Cobre.É um número muito grande.Mas, ao mesmo tempo, também é pequeno.Copo meio cheio, copo meio vazio.Isso nos dá bastante espaço para crescer. Agora, mudando para o inglês, para facilitar um pouco para você.José, muito obrigado por estar aqui. Agradeço por dedicar seu tempo. Estou muito animado para conversar com você. Como contexto, o José é cofundador e CEO da Cobre, uma fintech colombiana que está se expandindo para o México. Vocês rapidamente se tornaram uma das principais plataformas de pagamentos B2B em tempo real e de gestão de tesouraria corporativa na Colômbia — e, em breve, também no México. Sob sua liderança, muitas coisas empolgantes aconteceram. Vocês já escalam para centenas de empresas nesses dois países. Estão movimentando algo em torno de 18 bilhões em volume anual em folha de pagamento e pagamentos a fornecedores.E, o mais importante, estão se tornando uma camada crítica de infraestrutura para times financeiros modernos na região. Estou muito animado com este episódio, em mergulhar na sua jornada empreendedora, José, como a Cobre está modernizando os pagamentos corporativos, o cenário fintech na América Latina de forma mais ampla e, claro, a visão que você tem para o futuro da companhia. José, obrigado por se juntar a nós. É um prazer enorme ter você aqui hoje. José:Florian, o prazer é meu. A Canary foi a primeira firma de venture capital que acreditou na Cobre — e também o primeiro investimento de vocês fora do Brasil. Na época, nós até dissemos ao Marcos que expandiríamos para o Brasil… ainda não aconteceu.Mas tem sido uma ótima história até aqui, e vocês têm sido apoiadores incríveis. Obrigado. Florian:Sim, lembro bem disso. Inclusive, naquela época vocês tinham outro nome, não era? Acho que era “Pexto”, se não me engano.As coisas mudam, mas estamos felizes que deu certo. José, talvez possamos começar um pouco falando do seu histórico e da sua trajetória pessoal. Pode nos contar sobre sua origem e o que você fazia antes de empreender? José:Claro. Eu nasci e cresci em uma cidade pequena da Colômbia chamada Cartagena. Hoje é turística e bastante conhecida, mas, quando eu crescia lá, era apenas um destino nacional, relativamente pequeno. Eu, inclusive, nasci em Barranquilla porque minha mãe era de lá — que é ainda menor.De Barranquilla vêm muitas coisas conhecidas: Shakira, a Avianca (nossa companhia aérea nacional), e as últimas duas empresas colombianas que abriram capital nos EUA também são de lá.É uma cidade muito empreendedora. Talvez um bom precedente para a Cobre, não é? Venho de uma família de imigrantes libaneses — extremamente trabalhadores e empreendedores. Cresci aprendendo, por osmose, o que significava ser um empresario. Homens e mulheres da minha família sempre fundaram e até hoje administram empresas. Era um ambiente muito natural para acabar trilhando o caminho que trilhei. Depois tive o privilégio de estudar na Universidade da Pensilvânia. Meu primo Felipe — hoje cofundador da Cobre — estudava lá um ano antes de mim. Eu nunca achei que conseguiria entrar, mas consegui, e fui para a Penn cursar a graduação. No meu primeiro ano, li um business case sobre a M-Pesa, considerada precursora do dinheiro móvel — e, por consequência, de boa parte do que chamamos hoje de fintech: Zelle, Venmo, Paytm, GCash…A ideia original surgiu da M-Pesa, um serviço criado pela Vodafone que permitia às pessoas enviar dinheiro via SMS. Hoje, algo como 20% do PIB do Quênia transita pela M-Pesa. É completamente ubíquo. Inspirado nisso, tentei várias vezes criar algo parecido na Colômbia durante meus verões na Penn, mas obviamente falhei — afinal, eu não era uma empresa de telecomunicações. Ainda assim, essa experiência me mostrou como uma infraestrutura de pagamentos em tempo real poderia transformar a vida de milhões de pessoas e empresas. Ao me formar, voltei para a Colômbia para tentar de novo. E falhei mais uma vez. Foi aí que percebi: “o problema sou eu, preciso aprender a construir empresas de verdade”. Então fui trabalhar na McKinsey em Nova York. Passei um ano e meio lá e tive como cliente uma das maiores gestoras de venture capital do mundo. Eu era apenas analista júnior na equipe, mas aprendi muito sobre como os VCs pensam. Isso me levou a largar o emprego em Nova York e me mudar para a Cidade do México, para trabalhar na Oyo Rooms, um dos grandes unicórnios da Índia. A ideia era aprender mais sobre startups de hiperescala do que eu aprenderia ficando na consultoria. Fiquei um ano e meio na Oyo — até a pandemia começar. Com a COVID, percebi: “este é o momento certo para digitalizar pagamentos na Colômbia”. As empresas estavam forçadas a mudar.

    Pat Moye, Executive Director of Product Innovation at Deluxe, unveils the surprising reality of accounts receivable departments still trapped in manual processes despite technological advances elsewhere in business. As he aptly points out, AR professionals often describe themselves as "cash detectives," spending valuable time hunting down payment information across disconnected systems - a critical bottleneck in business cash flow.The heart of modern AR transformation isn't flashy AI algorithms but rather solid data foundations. Pat emphasizes that payment information typically exists across multiple fragmented systems: "The data from ACH and wire payments is with the bank. The data from lockbox payments is with a company like Deluxe. The data about open invoices is in their ERP." This fragmentation creates significant challenges when attempting to implement automation, as these disparate data sources must first be unified and standardized.Organizations seeking to modernize their AR operations should resist the temptation to overhaul everything at once. Instead, Pat advocates for an agile approach that tackles specific pain points incrementally: "Don't think about making these big swings. Think about the incremental gains you can have by just changing some pieces of the puzzle." This methodical journey begins with consolidating basic payment data sources before expanding to incorporate unstructured data and advanced analytics - allowing teams to transform from operational cost centers into strategic business partners.Discover how Deluxe has evolved beyond its 110-year history as "the check company" to become a comprehensive payment and data solutions provider, helping businesses eliminate AR friction points and accelerate cash flow. Whether you're just beginning your automation journey or looking to enhance existing capabilities, this episode offers practical insights for finance leaders ready to transform their receivables operations.

    Is It Time for a Fall Financial Reset?

    Feeling the post-summer financial fog? You're not alone—but now's the perfect time to reset.Summer is a season of rest, family, and fun—but it can also knock our financial habits off course. That's why fall is an ideal time to pause, reflect, and get back on track. Let's explore six small but meaningful steps that can help realign your finances with your goals—and your faith.Summer Spending Can Leave You Off BalanceSummer often brings looser schedules and, sometimes, looser spending. That's okay—we need time to rest. But if your finances feel off-center, it may be time for a reset.1. Review Your Summer SpendingBefore moving forward, look back. Did your summer spending reflect your values or just your impulses? Whether it was vacations, eating out, or spontaneous purchases, reviewing where your money went brings clarity. Think of it as an act of stewardship—learning from the past so you can plan better for the future.2. Revisit Your BudgetSeasons change—and so do financial rhythms. Back-to-school costs, higher grocery bills, or other expenses may have shifted your cash flow. Revisit your budget to ensure it reflects your priorities: generosity, saving, and wise spending.A helpful tool: The FaithFi app makes budgeting a daily reminder that every dollar belongs to God. It helps you plan and track your finances in alignment with your faith.3. Check for Missed PaymentsLife gets busy, and bills sometimes slip through the cracks. Go back and confirm you haven't missed any payments. Even one late bill can hurt your credit. Also, review your autopay accounts to ensure everything is running smoothly. A little attention here prevents bigger headaches later.4. Catch Up on Your GivingGenerosity sometimes takes a backseat in busy seasons. If that happened this summer, take time to prayerfully revisit your giving. Ask yourself: Has God blessed me in a way that calls for deeper generosity? Whether to your church, a ministry, or a neighbor in need, giving is more than duty—it's an expression of trust in God as your ultimate provider.5. Tackle That Financial To-DoWe all have one thing on our financial to-do list that gets pushed aside—reviewing insurance, starting a will, or scheduling a meeting with an advisor. Stewardship often looks like taking the next step, even if it's small or unglamorous.6. Look Ahead with WisdomFall is a season of preparation. Anticipate upcoming costs, such as school expenses, open enrollment, holiday shopping, or tax planning. Mark dates and set reminders now so you won't be scrambling later. Wise stewardship is proactive, not reactive.One Step at a TimeDon't feel pressure to fix everything in one day. Growth—financial and spiritual—comes through steady, faithful diligence. Proverbs 4:26 reminds us: “Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways.”Wherever you're starting from—catching up, starting over, or just resetting—God meets you there. He isn't after perfection; He's after your heart, and He promises to walk with you every step of the way.At FaithFi, we're committed to equipping Christians to integrate faith and financial decisions for the glory of God. If you believe in this mission, we'd love to invite you to become a monthly partner.A gift of $35 or more per month (or $400 per year) helps us continue this vital work.

    Today, traditional insurance faces mounting pressures from new technologies and market entrants, and digital transformation has become an imperative rather than an option. Kamiel Bouw, Global Head of Insurance for Citi Treasury and Trade Solutions, joins the show today. He brings extensive experience navigating this evolving landscape, where efficiency, data-driven approaches, and customer-centricity have become paramount. With traditional insurers working to adopt new technologies within legacy infrastructure, Buow describes how Citi has positioned itself to strategically support these organizations capture opportunities while enhancing customer experience. Throughout the interview, Buow explores several transformative themes reshaping the insurance industry. He uses real life case studies to emphasize the tremendous opportunity in digitizing payment processes — both for premium collections and claims payments — highlighting how instant payments can create superior customer experiences while providing operational benefits. Buow also discusses how Treasury functions must evolve beyond their traditional role as financial settlement centers to become innovation leaders, engaging across enterprise-wide initiatives and providing expertise in risk management and end-to-end payment flows. Listen to the podcast to gain unique insights into emerging technologies like digital assets and tokenization and their growing role in insurance, and how organizations can start with small, focused use cases to drive learning and foster broader adoption of this new tech.

    In this episode, Lex speaks with Ravi Adusumilli - President and GM of the Americas at Airwallex. Ravi and Lex discuss how Airwallex has evolved into a global financial platform by offering businesses an integrated suite of cross-border payments, treasury, and banking services. Founded in 2015, Airwallex now supports 150,000 customers, processes $130 billion in annualized volume (up 73% YoY), and projects a $1 billion revenue run rate by year-end.The company's success stems from its end-to-end infrastructure, homegrown payment rails, and multi-product strategy, with 80% of revenue now coming from customers using more than one product. Airwallex differentiates itself by focusing on global-first B2B use cases and building regional autonomy alongside centralized infrastructure. While not prioritizing stablecoins today, the company is exploring AI-driven financial operations and aims to reach $1 trillion in transaction volume by 2030. NOTABLE DISCUSSION POINTS:Airwallex's Infrastructure: Proprietary Global Payment NetworkAirwallex operates a proprietary global payment infrastructure that processes 95% of its $130 billion in annualized transaction volume. The company has developed its own technology and regulatory framework in partnership with over 60 banks worldwide. This approach reduces dependence on legacy systems such as SWIFT and supports greater control over transaction speed, cost, and compliance.Expansion Through Multi-Product OfferingAirwallex has expanded its services beyond cross-border payments to include card issuance, spend management, treasury functions, and merchant acquiring. According to company data, 80% of revenue is generated from customers using multiple products. Payments now account for 70% of net revenue and are growing at three times the rate year over year.Decentralized Go-To-Market StructureAirwallex employs a regional management model, with General Managers responsible for performance and operations in specific geographies. This structure is supported by centralized functions such as product development, compliance, and engineering. With 1,700 employees in 26 offices, the company uses this hybrid model to manage growth and adapt to local regulatory environments across multiple regions, including Latin America and Asia-Pacific. TOPICSAirwallex, Stripe, Brex, Rippling, Shopify, Pinterest, Visa, fintech, global payments, e-commerce, cross-border transactions, paytech, embedded payments, CFO stack, stablecoins, AI ABOUT THE FINTECH BLUEPRINT

    Zac Schneiderman shares a deeply personal journey from political science student to VP of ISV at Payarc, where he's become a driving force behind the company's innovative approach to payment integration for software platforms.What does it take to build successful partnerships in the fast-evolving payments ecosystem? For Schneiderman, it begins with understanding what software companies truly need: feature-rich payment solutions that deliver reliability, flexible pricing models, and exceptional support. "Speed to revenue is the name of the game," he explains, detailing how Payarc's approach combines cutting-edge technology with human expertise to activate partners quickly.The conversation reveals fascinating insights into the integration process – often the make-or-break moment for ISV partnerships. Schneiderman estimates a third of signed contracts fall apart during integration, which is why Payarc invests heavily in dedicated sales engineers, weekly check-ins, and robust sandbox environments. Their proprietary AI tool, PIE AI, represents the next frontier, helping debug code and streamline developer experiences.Looking toward the future, Schneiderman predicts a significant "decoupling of SaaS and payments" as technology evolves at breakneck speed. Software companies will increasingly rely on specialized payment partners rather than building in-house payment departments. Meanwhile, AI applications continue expanding beyond integration support to include lead generation, external developer tools, and merchant conversion campaigns.

Bobby shares fresh Index data on spend and shipment velocity, while Bob brings broader economic context, including consumer spending patterns, inflationary pressure, and the uneven pace of recovery. From driver shortages and regional capacity gaps to policy impacts and shifting inventory strategies, the panel examines how these macroeconomic forces are playing out in freight and what they could mean for the rest of 2025, offering insights for supply chain professionals preparing for continued volatility, opportunities in cross-border trade, and early signs of renewed activity.Jump into the conversation:(00:00) Intro(00:51) Overview of the U.S. Bank Freight Payment Index(06:15) National freight trends and insights(22:26) Midwest region analysis(25:59) Rebalancing supply chains(26:57) Consumer spending trends(27:33) Goods vs. services spending(29:30) Northeast region insights(36:31) Southeast region insights(44:56) Future of freight marketsResources:Download the full Q2 2025 U.S. Bank Freight Payment Index: bit.ly/scn-us-bankRegister for the ATA Management Conference on October 2025 in San Diego: https://www.trucking.org/news-insights/registration-now-open-ata-management-conference-exhibition-0 Learn more about U.S. Bank: https://www.usbank.com Learn more about the American Trucking Associations (ATA): https://www.trucking.org Connect with Bobby Holland: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bobby-holland-4a9355/ Connect with Bob Costello: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robert-costello-444bb670/ Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.com Watch and listen to more Supply Chain Now episodes here: https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-now Subscribe to Supply Chain Now on your favorite platform: https://supplychainnow.com/join Work with us!

    MDJ Script/ Top Stories for August 20th Publish Date: August 20th Commercial: From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Wednesday, August 20th and Happy Birthday to Issac Hayes I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal 1. KMHS drama program wins Disney School of Excellence Award 2. Suspect charged with snatching $5,000 Rolex from Town Center mall jeweler 3. Sheriff’s office recognizes cadets for heroic actions following wreck All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: INGLES 3 STORY 1: KMHS drama program wins Disney School of Excellence Award “Every day, I get to do what I love with some of the most incredible students I could ever ask for,” said Dawn Parker, Kennesaw Mountain High’s Director of Theatre. “Their dedication—on stage and behind the scenes—is unmatched, and any recognition they get is so well-deserved.” KMHS Drama was just named one of 21 winners in the Disney on Broadway School of Excellence Program, a national honor recognizing creativity, leadership, and student engagement in theatre. Their production of Alice in Wonderland Jr. will showcase not just acting but student-led set design, tech, and choreography. STORY 2: Suspect charged with snatching $5,000 Rolex from Town Center mall jeweler Jason Adam Warren, a Lithonia resident, is accused of swiping a $5,000 white gold, diamond-encrusted Rolex DateJust from Shine Jewelers at Town Center mall. According to the Cobb County Police warrant, Warren walked in on May 22 around 10:40 a.m., chatted with an employee, and asked to see the watch. The moment it was handed over—still in its display box—he bolted. One second he’s admiring it, the next he’s gone, leaving the employee shouting behind the counter, unable to chase him. Warren faces a robbery snatch charge, though, as of now, he’s not listed in jail records. STORY 3: Sheriff’s office recognizes cadets for heroic actions following wreck Two Cobb County public safety cadets didn’t hesitate when they saw a crash unfold on Macland Road on Aug. 2. Cadet Capt. Aiden Decastro, a Georgia Cyber Academy student, and Field Training Officer Cadet Alexander Rodas, from McEachern High, were heading home from dinner at Marietta Diner when they spotted the wreck. An infant car seat lay in the middle of the intersection. Decastro called 911, moved people away from an oil spill, and cradled the crying baby. Rodas comforted an injured passenger, helping her stay calm. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info. We’ll be right back. Break: COBB INT. FESTIVAL STORY 4: Residents clash over fairness, transparency at Cobb elections meeting Monday’s Cobb Board of Elections meeting was packed—standing room only. The crowd? A mix of praise, frustration, and plenty of opinions about last month’s officer elections and new board appointments. Here’s the gist: the board elected a new chair and vice chair in a 3-1-1 vote, sparking debate. Debbie Fisher, a GOP appointee, called it “unfair,” while outgoing chair Tori Silas abstained. Jennifer Mosbacher, a Democrat appointee, now leads as chair, with Stacy Efrat as vice chair. Fisher proposed a bylaw amendment to prevent future mid-transition elections, but the board tabled it—unanimously—for next month. The tension? Palpable. STORY 5: Cobb jail inmate caught with synthetic drug hidden in book, authorities say Joseph George Cruz, 30, of Marietta, is facing some serious charges after allegedly sneaking synthetic drugs into the Cobb County Jail. According to a warrant, Cruz had just been transported back from Fulton County Jail on Aug. 27 when officers found the drugs—hidden in a book he brought with him. Field tests confirmed it was K2, a synthetic drug. Cruz reportedly told authorities the stash was worth $10,000 and that he planned to sell it to inmates in his dorm. He’s now charged with multiple felonies and remains in custody without bond, with a detainer hold in place. Break: STORY 6: Cobb County property tax bills issued, due by Oct. 15 Cobb Tax Commissioner Carla Jackson announced that property tax bills for 2025 are officially out, following approval of the county’s tax digest by the Georgia Department of Revenue. The deadline? Oct. 15. Payments need to be received—or at least postmarked—by then to avoid late fees. Jackson gave a shoutout to the teams behind the scenes—Tax Assessors, IT, Finance, and more—for pulling it all together. “Their collaboration made this possible,” she said. This year’s digest includes 271,757 bills totaling over $1.36 billion. You can pay online, by phone, mail, or in person. Questions? Email tax@cobbtax.gov or call 770-528-8600. STORY 7: Austell man accused of illegal dumping Aries Maliah Jordan, from Austell, is accused of tossing more than 10 pounds of household trash onto the property at Premier Apartments on Premier Lane. It happened around 7 p.m. on Aug. 12, according to a Cobb County Police warrant. The charge? Illegal dumping. Details are slim—why there, why then?—but the warrant paints a messy picture. As of now, Jordan doesn’t show up in jail records. We’ll have closing comments after this. Break: INGLES 3 Signoff- Thanks again for hanging out with us on today’s Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.
