Keith sits down with Fred Hodge Jr., owner of Clearview Washing in New Jersey—an exterior cleaning company that's been growing since 2004 and now runs up to 26 employees in peak season. Fred breaks down what actually helped him scale: lead gen, hiring, culture, and the systems that keep the business running even when he's on vacation (without the "putting out fires from the beach" vibe). They get into niche high-profit services (yes, chandelier cleaning), the KPIs that drive pricing decisions, how to raise prices without nuking your calendar, and why Fred keeps a buffalo picture behind his desk—to remind himself to run toward problems, not away from them.   "What got you there isn't the same avenue what's gonna get you to your next place." – Fred Hodge Jr.   What You'll Learn in This Episode: How Fred scaled from "Chuck in a truck" to a multi-crew operation The systems that help him step off the truck—and stay off Why bundling services dramatically raised their average ticket How to use simple KPIs (no algebra required) to make smarter pricing moves What "penny smart, dollar foolish" looks like in real business decisions How to build a team culture that retains great people   Key Takeaways: The Business: 22 Years, 26 Employees, Multiple Services. Clearview Washing offers window washing, power washing, soft washing, gutter and roof cleaning, holiday lights, shrink wrapping outdoor furniture—and even chandelier cleaning. Peak season team size hits around 26 employees, with a business mix that's roughly 70% commercial (including HOAs/condos) and 30% high-end residential. The "Chandelier Cleaning" Advantage. Fred explains why chandelier cleaning became a standout niche: most competitors avoid it due to complexity and liability. Clearview leaned in, developed the skill set and tools, and now gets inbound calls from across New Jersey—sometimes landing $8K–$10K chandelier-cleaning projects in high-end homes. Scaling Happened When Systems Got Serious. Fred credits a major turning point to implementing real operational systems (with big help from his wife, who drives processes). That included choosing a CRM (Jobber) and building workflows that reduce chaos and prevent everything from escalating to "owner-level emergencies." He even jokes their QuickBooks coach says they're "not an exterior cleaning company—they're a technology company that offers exterior cleaning."   Connect with Fred Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fredhodgejr/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/freddie.hodge  Website: https://clearviewwashing.com/  Connect with Keith Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keithkalfas/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thelandscapingemployeetrap Website: https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@keith-kalfas   Resources and Websites:  Start Getting Leads Now https://www.footbridgemedia.com/keith The Untrapped Alliance: https://www.keithkalfas.com/alliance Resources You Need To Build A Successful Business https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources

We explore how to move from simple requests to a deep, trusting relationship with God, even when facing the pain of seemingly unanswered prayers. We see in Matthew 7 that we are called to never stop pursuing God's heart. Learn practical tools like "breath prayers" and daily rhythms to help you overcome anxiety and self-reliance. Join us as we uncover how a loving Heavenly Father provides good gifts and remains present with us in every season of life. Speaker: Angela Beise

Women over 40 are the most understudied population in modern medicine. In this powerful and overdue conversation, Darin sits down with Dr. Amy Shah to unpack the massive blind spots in women's health — from perimenopause and menopause to cortisol shifts, brain fog, gut bacteria collapse, muscle loss, and the social isolation epidemic affecting women in midlife. Dr. Shah reveals why hormone labs often don't tell the full story, why 95% of Americans are fiber deficient, how fermented foods regulate inflammation, and why morning sunlight may be one of the most powerful hormone resets available — and it's free. This episode is more than symptom management. It's a blueprint for reclaiming power during one of the most misunderstood transitions in a woman's life.     What You'll Learn Why women weren't required in medical research until 1993 How perimenopause is diagnosed by symptoms — not lab tests The hormonal cascade: hypothalamus → pituitary → ovaries → whole-body effects Why fiber is the missing hormone regulator The 30-30-3 framework: protein, fiber & fermented foods The estrobolome and how gut bacteria regulate estrogen Why cortisol sensitivity increases during perimenopause The circadian reset protocol: morning light & nighttime boundaries Why recovery becomes more important than high-intensity stress The female friendship effect & oxytocin biology Hormone therapy myths — and what the research actually shows Why menopause may actually be a leadership upgrade     Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome back Dr. Amy Shah 00:00:29 – Novelty, brain aging & why time "speeds up" 00:02:03 – The hormone cascade: hypothalamus, pituitary & endocrine signaling 00:03:39 – The most understudied population in medicine: women over 40 00:04:11 – Women excluded from research until 1993 00:05:06 – Ambien example: why women metabolize drugs differently 00:08:14 – Cultural silence around menopause 00:09:48 – Anxiety, palpitations, carpal tunnel: unrecognized hormone symptoms 00:11:17 – Gut-brain connection & why nutrition is medicine 00:15:11 – The 30-30-3 method explained 00:16:10 – Why fiber drops during perimenopause 00:17:23 – Simple fiber sources that extend longevity 00:19:00 – Fermented foods & lowering inflammation 00:21:01 – Why Americans lost fermented foods 00:22:26 – Circadian biology: every cell runs on light 00:23:46 – Morning sunlight & hormone regulation 00:26:25 – Late-night eating & insulin resistance 00:28:20 – Cortisol spikes in perimenopause 00:29:41 – Why high achievers crash in midlife 00:31:11 – Walking as cortisol-lowering exercise 00:32:24 – Why hormone labs don't show perimenopause 00:33:38 – Key symptoms: sleep, fat redistribution, brain fog 00:35:24 – The estrobolome: gut bacteria & estrogen recycling 00:36:30 – Gut bacteria change within three days 00:38:38 – Andropause vs menopause differences 00:41:21 – Hormone therapy: what's proven & what's misunderstood 00:44:53 – Peak bone & muscle before 30 00:46:02 – Exercise for longevity vs punishment 00:47:55 – The community & oxytocin effect 00:49:49 – Female friendship & cortisol reduction 00:52:18 – Intergenerational connection & health 00:57:05 – Gut bacteria & proximity effect 01:00:24 – The Grandmother Hypothesis 01:02:15 – Menopause as leadership evolution 01:04:28 – You can build muscle, brain & bone at any age 01:05:16 – Rewriting the narrative for women's health     Thank You to Our Sponsors Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Shakeology – Shakeology-All in One Nutrition: Get 15% off with code SUPERLIFE at Shakeology.com.

It's a biological transition that requires new inputs, more recovery, more fiber, more protein, more community, more light. When women understand what's happening inside their bodies, they stop thinking they're "falling apart", and start stepping into power.  

You probably expect that the more sober time you have, the less you crave alcohol. That's true for some people, but others experience an effect called incubation of craving. This is where cravings build up over time and peak around 60 days, then again around 6 months sober. In this episode, I'll explain the research on incubation of craving, what you might experience, why this happens, and what you can do to stay sober.

The time has come at last to begin THE PEAK as your heroes begin their epic, three part review of the best Trek movie you have forgotten about "The Way of the Warrior"! To be honest we only get 15 minutes into the episode because there is so much to talk about. The director, the costume changes, the immediacy of the tension, the Klingons, Martok...it's going to take several hours to get through it all, so enjoy this first part!

What if fear isn't a stop sign but a compass? We sit down with Chris Duffin—engineer, world-record powerlifter, entrepreneur, and author of The Eagle and the Dragon—to unpack how real strength is built: by choosing meaningful pressure, not chasing comfort. Chris grew up homeless in the wilderness, learned to respect fear while holding live rattlesnakes, and later rebuilt his body and businesses after brutal setbacks. His thesis is simple and hard: specific adaptation to imposed demand applies to everything—bones, teams, mindsets, and companies.We dig into the Six Ps of resilience—Precipice, Plunge, Pit, Pull, Peak, Plateau—and how to use each phase instead of fighting it. Chris explains why motivation fades, values endure, and entrepreneurship only works when it's an expression of what matters most. We talk leadership that paints a visceral picture of now and next, micro-bravery that compounds into macro-capability, and the quiet courage of hard conversations that prepare you for big leaps. If you've ever felt stuck, his challenge is direct: turn into the pain, ask what you're avoiding, and take the smallest scary action this week.You'll hear how he returned from a devastating back injury to elite performance by owning the process, coordinating experts, and refusing limiting stories—and how a documented case of a double-quad reattachment led to a 700-pound deadlift in seven weeks. The takeaway is practical and liberating: most limits are stories repeated until they feel like physics. Rewrite the script with systems, accountability, and consistent action.If this conversation moved you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a quick review so more people can find it.

Joel Parkinson is a Gold Coast surfing icon; a CT standout with 11 CT wins, 3 Hawaiian Triple Crowns, 4 World Runner-Ups, the 2012 World Champion, and is globally-renowned as one of the most stylish and consistent competitors in modern surfing history.  In this year's first episode of The Lineup, he reflects on the journey that defined his career. Parko opens with the grassroots of Australian surfing, from Snapper Rocks Boardriders' 60+ year history to why club culture remains the backbone of the sport. He rewinds the tape back to when he was a young 11-year-old grom signing with Billabong for discounted boardshorts–and three decades later, still part of the team, a partnership that endured the ups and downs of brand-athlete relationships in surfing. He reveals how close he came to jumping ship to Rip Curl as a teenager, the jaw-dropping offer from Quiksilver in his early 20s, and why loyalty ultimately won.  Parko reflects on sharing a team with legends like Mark Occhilupo, Taj Burrow, and Luke Egan, and what it was like witnessing Andy Irons at his peak during the Blue Horizon era. He also shares the unforgettable story of Andy claiming the top room at the Billabong house in Hawaii—rankings be damned. The conversation shifts to life on Tour: traveling with his wife and kids long before it was common, the emotional toll of chasing a World Title while raising a family, and why his wife “deserves more of a World Title” than he does.  Parko opens up about nearly quitting in 2011 after a brutal New York event, how letting go reshaped his mindset, and the constant mental weight surfers carry when fighting for a Top 5. He dives into his rivalry and lifelong friendship with Mick Fanning and Dean Morrison, addresses the “style” narrative that followed him throughout his career, and gets deep into board talk—from early DHD days to his long partnership with JS Industries, including the mythical board that went 17 heats undefeated.

Ein Gedankenexperiment von Citrini Research erschüttert die Tech-Welt und vernichtet über Nacht hunderte Milliarden an Börsenwert. Die düstere Vision: Menschliche Denkleistung wird durch die KI ersetzt. Eine "Intelligence-Displacement-Spiral" disruptiert hoch bezahlte Bürojobs und löst eine strukturelle Wirtschaftskrise aus. In dieser Episode diskutieren die beiden Wirtschaftsjournalisten Dietmar Deffner und Holger Zschäpitz, ob wir gerade den Gipfel einer irrationalen KI-Hysterie erleben oder ob der "Kanarienvogel in der Mine" bereits verstummt ist. Während Software-Aktien und Zahlungsdienstleister wie Mastercard unter die Räder kommen, stellt sich die Frage: Ist der Ausverkauf die Einstiegschance des Jahrzehnts? Außerdem im Fokus: Das hitzige Pro und Contra zum Social-Media-Verbot für unter 14-Jährige nach dem Vorbild Australiens. DEFFNER & ZSCHÄPITZ sind wie das wahre Leben. Wie Optimist und Pessimist. Im wöchentlichen WELT-Podcast diskutieren und streiten die Journalisten Dietmar Deffner und Holger Zschäpitz über die wichtigen Wirtschaftsthemen des Alltags.

SAVI Basketball Membership 7-day free trial: https://www.skool.com/savi-coach Late in the season, most coaches try to fix too many things at once. In this episode, Mark and Tyler break down a simpler, higher-leverage approach: identify your best action, identify the coverage hurting you most, and decide — do you prevent it or punish it? You'll also learn why coaches revert to the same tools under pressure, how to build offensive vocabulary that actually transfers to games, and how the Hedgehog vs. Fox framework can sharpen your late-season game planning. Whether you're a high school, youth, or college coach, these are ideas you can take into practice this week.

Fresh from pre-season camp in Australia, Richard Graves sits down with Stan Parker, Sports Scientist at the Western Bulldogs, to explore how tracking data, contextual analytics, and interdisciplinary collaboration shape performance in elite AFL. Stan's journey spans the Brisbane Broncos in the NRL, Queensland Rugby Sevens, and now five seasons embedded within the Bulldogs' high-performance programme, including a PhD focused on contextualising tracking data beyond simple load metrics. This episode moves beyond “distance covered” and “top speed” to examine how sports science actually influences coaching decisions, athlete development, injury management, and tactical execution. From peak demand analysis and real-world decision-making under fatigue, to AI readiness and workflow efficiency, this is a grounded, practitioner-led conversation about where elite sport is really heading. In this episode you will learn: Why contextualising tracking data matters more than collecting more of it How to compare peak training demands to peak match demands The role of vision and video in translating data for coaches and players How to build buy-in when athletes aren't “numbers learners” The balance between availability and performance in weekly competition cycles How interdisciplinary decision-making works inside an AFL club Why isolated fatigue “flags” can be misleading How gym-based physical development can be directly tied to on-field outcomes The importance of soft skills in high-performance environments Where AI realistically fits (and doesn't fit) in elite sports science About Stan Parker Stan Parker is a Sports Scientist with the Western Bulldogs in the AFL. He has previously worked with the Brisbane Broncos and Queensland Rugby Sevens, building experience across multiple elite sporting codes in Australia. Stan is also completing a PhD focused on the contextualisation of tracking data in team sports, exploring how movement patterns and peak demands can better explain performance impact rather than serving purely as load monitoring tools. He is particularly interested in bridging the gap between data analytics, coaching vision, and real-world performance application.

The Sermon on the Mount contains some of Jesus' most famous teachings. We explore what Jesus says about trust, hope, and anxiety. We learn why Jesus commands us to "not be anxious" and how to trust in a Heavenly Father who cares deeply for us. Together, we dive deep into the "rocking chair" of worry, addressing the unique mental health challenges faced by kids and adults alike in our hyper-connected world. By shifting our focus from perfectionism and control to seeking God's kingdom first, we can find a peace that transcends all understanding. Join us to learn practical, spiritual ways to give your anxieties to Him and rest in the security of God's sovereign care. Speaker: Greg Holder

In this episode, Robert draws a striking comparison between today's AI-driven market and the early days of the internet boom, exploring why rotations into “safe” stocks often happen before the most explosive phase of a bull run. He explains how to think about pullbacks in high-growth sectors, what historically signals a true market top, and why patience can outperform panic during volatile stretches. Robert also shares how he is managing cash, positioning through the current rotation, and what needs to improve before getting more aggressive again. The episode closes with a discussion on risk management, market breadth, and how to navigate uncertainty without forcing trades.

Today Alan and Mark step back from the noise to examine a market environment that feels subtly but meaningfully different. From AI euphoria giving way to harder questions, to gold's steady rise and a surprising divergence between US and emerging market inflation, the conversation centers on rotation, uncertainty, and shifting assumptions about safety. They explore whether Treasuries still anchor portfolios the way they once did, how fiscal pressures could reshape monetary policy, and why regime thinking matters for systematic investors. Beneath it all is a reminder that correlations change, narratives evolve, and adaptability remains the most durable edge in uncertain markets.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Alan on Twitter.Follow Mark on LinkedIn.Episode TimeStamps:00:00 – Introduction & market check-in02:52 – February performance: CTAs, trend following & commodities04:53 – Peak bubble?

Clemson drops a third straight in ACC play with an ugly loss at Wake Forest, and Swanny asks the hard question — is this just a slump or something deeper? Tim Bourret joins to break down the basketball slide, Jamie Bradford brings elite college baseball insight ahead of rivalry week, and the Tigers look to regroup before Florida State comes to town.

Oregon's small businesses are facing their toughest times in over a decade, with Portland at the epicenter. Bankruptcies have surged to a 12-year high, impacting storefronts, suppliers, and nonprofits alike. The situation is mirrored nationally, with increasing commercial Chapter 11 filings driven by higher interest rates and rising costs, according to Amy Quackenboss of the American Bankruptcy Institute. Layoffs from major employers like Intel and Nike exacerbate the problem, shrinking demand and pushing marginal businesses into insolvency. The fallout includes unpaid invoices, disrupted supply chains, and shuttered businesses, leaving nonprofits owed significant amounts like the $766,000 collectively owed to Oregon Nonprofits, further destabilizing the local economy. Will local leaders step up?

If you thought the internet was a dumpster fire before, the EU LAUNCHES SECOND INVESTIGATION INTO GROK because Musk's bot won't stop generating nonconsensual imagery. Meanwhile, META LARGELY FAILS TO PROTECT KIDS FROM AI CHATBOTS, proving that their internal safety checks are about as effective as a screen door on a submarine. If that doesn't creep you out, AFTER RING PRIVACY BACKLASH over police partnerships, a LEAKED EMAIL SUGGESTS RING PLANS TO EXPAND ‘SEARCH PARTY' from finding lost dogs to total neighborhood surveillance. Of course, REDDIT, META, AND GOOGLE VOLUNTARILY GAVE DHS INFO on users critical of ICE, because why stand up for privacy when you can just comply?In the news, we look at OPENCLAW, OPENAI AND THE FUTURE as the project's founder joins the Borg, even though META AND OTHER TECH FIRMS PUT RESTRICTIONS ON USE OF OPENCLAW because it's basically a security hole that can click your mouse for you. Peak stupidity has arrived with RFK JR'S NEW CHATBOT giving rectal dietary advice, while AI COMPANIES BOUGHT OUT ALL OF WESTERN DIGITAL'S HARD DRIVES through 2026, meaning you can't have storage because the bots need it more. Even VALVE ADMITS STEAM DECK AVAILABILITY IS AFFECTED by this memory hoarding. We also touch on STEVE BANNON SUED OVER MAGA CRYPTO SCHEME, LOS ANGELES COUNTY FILES LAWSUIT AGAINST ROBLOX for being a safety nightmare, and the fact that TESLA ROBOTAXIS REPORTEDLY CRASHING at four times the human rate. TESLA DODGES 30-DAY SUSPENSION by simply killing the word "Autopilot," while NEW YORK HITS THE BRAKES ON ROBOTAXI EXPANSION to keep the chaos at bay. Finally, POLYMARKET WITHDRAWS EXPLOSIVE ARTEMIS BETTING MARKET because betting on dead astronauts is too much even for them, leading the ETHEREUM CREATOR STARTING TO THINK THIS WHOLE PREDICTION MARKET THING MIGHT BE GAMBLING. As NEVADA SUES KALSHI and Jack Dorsey oversees INSIDE THE ROLLING LAYOFFS AT JACK DORSEY'S BLOCK—using AI to summarize the misery of his employees—just remember: YOU'LL BE SORRY WHEN YOU HEAR WHAT JUSTIN BIEBER'S $1.3 MILLION BORED APE IS WORTH NOW. Hint: it's twelve grand.In this week's MEDIA CANDY, we've got FREE BERT, KAT WILLIAMS: THE LAST REPORT, and the eternal return of SHREK. We're checking out MARK ROBER on Netflix, the return of MONARCH: LEGACY OF MONSTERS, and the trailer for GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON'T DIE. If you need a soundtrack for the apocalypse, Thomas Benjamin Wild Esq has you covered with STOP USING GENERATIVE A.I and the Gen-X anthem I'VE NO MORE F*S TO GIVE!.Moving to APPS & DOODADS, OBSIDIAN TO NOTES is a $14 well spent, unlike CURSOR and VISUAL STUDIO CODE which are getting bogged down by slow models. APPLE'S AI PENDANT sounds like a watered-down Humane pin that relies on your phone to think, and APPLE PODCASTS AND VIDEO remains a pipe dream because bandwidth costs money. We've reached the point where THERE'S A GRIM NEW EXPRESSION: “AI;DR” for things not worth reading, and THERE'S A NEW TERM FOR WORKERS FREAKING OUT over being replaced—AIRD, or AI Replacement Dysfunction—which is basically the low-grade panic of being made obsolete by a machine that thinks bananas go in your bum.AT THE LIBRARY, we're thumbing through CLEAVE THE SPARROW, THE REGICIDE REPORT by Charles Stross, and Robin Ince being NORMALLY WEIRD AND WEIRDLY NORMAL.Then we descend into THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, where the Muppets are taking over with THE MUPPET SHOW and MUPPETS NOW. We catch the latest on THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU and TOY STORY 5, while tracking the PENTAGON PIZZA INDEX to see if war is breaking out. For the kids, we look at a 3D PRINTER / ENTRY LEVEL FOR KIDS like the Bambu Lab A1, and for the nerds, A STAR WARS-CENTRIC RSS FEED and a NEAT IDEA FOR AN RSS READER, “CURRENT,” which lets news drift away like water under a bridge. We wrap it all up with some HORROR IN UNDER TWO MINUTES and IMPECCABLE COVERS OF 80S SYNTH MUSIC, because at least the 80s had better soundtracks than this AI-generated nightmare.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.SquareSpace - go to squarespace.com/GRUMPY for a free trial.

In this episode, Adam Torres ⁠interviews Todd Vande Hei, Founder of Stark Health, a Southern California-based healthcare company focused on proactive, root-cause health optimization. Todd shares why belief drives behavior change, how small sustainable habits outperform extreme resolutions, and why sleep, protein, and muscle mass are foundational to long-term health and longevity. About ⁠Todd Vande Hei Todd once believed he was destined for a life of sickness. In his early 30s, seizures, high blood pressure, and atrial fibrillation were his constant companions. At a time when he should have been enjoying the freedom and vitality of youth, he had instead resigned himself to the limitations brought on by illness. In a word, he was stuck… and he remained that way until he reached a life-changing realization: Health isn't something you're simply born with — it's a skill you can master. For the past 15 years, Todd Vande Hei has been on a relentless journey to uncover the practices behind peak health. Through countless experiments, setbacks, and breakthroughs, he discovered that true health isn't about fad diets, miracle products, or trending tips. It's about mastering the foundations: lifestyle, exercise, nutrition, and stress management. As the founder of Stark Health, Todd made it his mission to share what he learned with those who need it most. Together with his team of more than 80 medical experts — including doctors, nutritionists, and fitness coaches — he helps high-achieving professionals transform their health and perform at their peak in both life and business. Backed by over a decade of clinical experience and millions of data points, Stark's methods have produced transformations that defy conventional wisdom. At 56 years old, Todd is healthier, happier, and more vibrant than he was at 25 — living proof that peak health can be built at any stage of life. Whether someone is battling chronic illness, pursuing sustainable weight loss, or striving to thrive at every age, Todd's message is clear: Peak health isn't just possible — it's within reach.

Every business owner exits eventually.But will you do it voluntarily, at peak value, or reactively because you had to?Marvin Karlow focuses on helping founders get maximum market value for their businesses before burnout, bankruptcy, partner disputes, or life events force their hand. In this episode, we break down how business valuation actually works, why most deals die in due diligence, and what it really takes to build a company that buyers compete for.In This Episode, We Cover✅ What Your Business Is Really WorthWe break down EBITDA vs SDE, valuation ranges, and how multiples are determined. You can't control market conditions, but you can control where you fall within the range.✅ Are You Selling a Business… Or a Job?If the company depends on you, buyers discount the multiple. The litmus test? Can you leave for a month without the business breaking.✅ Operational Readiness Drives ValuationIt's not just profit. It's systems, KPIs, team structure, brand equity, and how attractive your operation looks to a buyer.✅ Why Most Deals Die in Due DiligenceLOI is not the finish line.
