Tom and Amy Johnson are turning a years-long dream into B-Side the Tracks Brewing Company in Conyers, GA. Amy, a 30-year finance pro turned American Brewers Guild grad, will helm the brewhouse. Tom will run front-of-house and a small distillery (bourbon, whiskey, vodka; rum later). Their vision is a true “third place” with standout hospitality, pizza from a 700° rotating oven, smart limited specials, weekend brunch, and education-forward beer & spirits pairings. The path wasn't linear: failed financing, lost earnest money, an architect/GC reset, a surprise ~$42k water fee, and an 18-month slog to close on their historic railroad-side building. Permits landed late May, renovation began in June, target opening is October. Equipment is en route, community excitement is real, and their service-first mindset (“welcome home”) is the throughline.8–10 Takeaways Hospitality > Hype: They're building a neighborhood “third space” where regulars feel known. Service is the differentiator, not bells & whistles. Beer + Spirits, thoughtfully: Six house beers on 12 taps, a 1-bbl pilot for experiments (first up: a peach wheat), and a micro-distillery launching with three core spirits. Education matters: Tasting flights, three-course pairings (beer and spirits), and “why you like what you like” guidance to win over the “I don't like beer” crowd. Menu discipline: 700° oven, ~90-second pizzas, tight rotating specials, and brunch on weekends, quality over quantity to control COGS and execution. Perseverance playbook: Multiple failed loans, lost deposits, a full architect/GC change, and a late surprise water impact fee, yet they kept going. Community roots: Name and location honor Conyers' rail history. Goal is a Cheers-style welcome: “Welcome home, we're glad you're here.” Real operator chops: Amy's ABG training (and engineering-heavy exams) plus Tom's FOH leadership and distilling background from UVM/Colorado Boy. Own the asset: They bought the historic building; renovations started June after permits cleared in late May. Right partners: POS via GoTab for responsive support and fit; local construction management to keep it community-driven. Target timeline: Brewing kit is on the water (ETA late September); opening aimed for October (Oktoberfest whenever the doors open).

Energy Voice's Ryan Duff, Erikka Askeland, and Mat Perry discuss the number one question GB Energy boss, Dan McGrail, has been asked since taking over the state-backed body. Erikka tells us about the speech Dan delivered while at the Scottish Green Energy Supply Chain Awards in Aberdeen, in which he said the most popular question he's asked is "What is GB Energy?" There were some interesting insights given by Dan as our trio of journalists discussed the implications of a state-owned "activist investor". Next up, Energy Voice editor Mark Selby spoke with renowned energy analyst Michael Liebreich in a pre-recorded interview. While trying not to come across as a "Debbie Downer" on net zero, Liebreich said the UK needs to stop "chasing the Quixotic dream of Clean Power 2030" and embrace a more pragmatic approach. Finally, this episode wraps up on the University of Aberdeen's latest review, conducted by John Underhill. It is suggested by John that "bespoke" permits should be handed out to oil and gas developments located near existing infrastructure. This raises some interesting questions at a time when the UK offshore regulator, the North Sea Transition Authority, is unable to hand out any licences while operators await the results of government consultation.

This Podcast Is Episode 642, And It's About How To Know If It's Time To Raise Your Rates Without Losing Clients A Practical Guide for Contractors Who Want to Stay Profitable—Without Scaring Off Business If you're like most small construction business owners, you've probably had this thought: "I'm working non-stop, but I'm still barely keeping up—should I raise my prices?" And then right after that, the fear kicks in: "What if I lose clients? What if no one can afford me anymore?" As construction bookkeeping specialists, we hear this frequently. Contractors are nervous to raise their rates because they worry it'll cost them jobs or damage their reputation. But here's the truth: Raising your rates isn't about greed—it's about survival. In this post, we'll guide you through understanding when it's time to increase your rates, how to do it without losing your best clients, and how your books can provide the data and confidence to price with clarity. Why Contractors Hesitate to Raise Rates Let's start with the everyday fears: "My clients won't pay more." "I'll lose out to cheaper competition." "What if I price myself out of the market?" These fears are common, but often based on assumptions rather than data. Low rates can hurt your business more than help it. They lead to: Burnout from overwork Poor-quality clients who expect a lot and pay late Inability to reinvest in tools, help, or marketing Projects that cost more than they bring in So let's flip the script. Instead of fearing a rate increase, let's explore how to raise with purpose—and use facts, not fear, to guide your pricing. 1. Start with Job Costing Before raising rates, you need to know one thing clearly: Are you actually making money on your jobs? Job costing is the process of tracking: Labor hours (including your own!) Material and supply costs Subcontractor fees Equipment and tool usage Permits, dump runs, gas, insurance A share of your overhead (office, truck, phone, software) Once you tally this up, compare it to what you charged. If you're seeing slim margins—or worse, negative ones—you're undercharging. Bookkeeper's Tip: Start by reviewing your last 5–10 jobs. Break them down into: Estimated vs. actual cost Hours quoted vs. hours worked Gross profit (before overhead) Net profit (after overhead) Even a simple spreadsheet can help you see which jobs are winners—and which ones need a pricing tune-up. 2. Watch for These Signs - It's Time to Raise Rates Still unsure? Here are seven signs it's time to raise your prices: 1. You're booked out for weeks (or months) This means demand is high, and your pricing may be too low. If people are lining up, a modest increase won't deter them. 2. You're working too hard for too little If you're exhausted, working weekends, and still not taking home enough, your rate is too low. Period. 3. You haven't raised your prices in over a year Material costs, fuel, insurance, and labor have all increased. If your rates haven't changed, you're likely absorbing the difference. 4. Your quality has improved Are you more skilled than when you started? Do you offer better results, smoother communication, or cleaner job sites? Then you should be charging for it. 5. You're attracting low-quality clients If you constantly deal with haggling, late payments, or poor communication, your pricing is attracting bargain hunters rather than quality clients. 6. Your tools, overhead, and team cost more Running a legit business costs money. If you're licensed, insured, and invest in quality, your rates should reflect that. 7. You're turning away work If you're saying no to jobs because you're too busy, that's a strong sign it's time to raise your prices and focus on higher-value projects. 3. How to Raise Rates Without Losing Good Clients You don't need to double your rates overnight or announce a price hike in bold letters. Here's how to do it strategically and professionally: A. Start with New Clients This is the easiest path. Quote your new price to new inquiries in the future. They won't know the old rate, so there's no resistance. B. Add Value, Not Just Cost When raising rates, remind clients of what they're getting: Better project management Faster turnaround Clearer communication Higher quality materials Insured and dependable work Frame your pricing as an investment, not just a fee. C. Offer Tiers or Packages For price-sensitive clients, offer a few levels of service: Basic (bare-bones scope) Standard (your usual full-service) Premium (extras like design, faster turnaround, etc.) This helps clients self-select based on budget without forcing you to underprice your work. D. Phase In Rate Increases If you work with repeat clients, give them a heads-up: "Due to rising material and labor costs, I'll be increasing my hourly/project rates starting [date]. I wanted to let you know in advance so we can plan accordingly." Most reasonable clients will understand, especially if you've consistently delivered value. 4. Use Pricing Psychology to Your Advantage Pricing is part math, part mindset. Here are a few tactics to make your price increases feel smoother: Avoid round numbers Instead of $1,000, say $1,175 or $3,950. It feels more calculated, not random. Anchor with options Show your higher price next to a more expensive (or less valuable) one. This frames your offer as the "just right" choice. Include a price breakdown. Show labor, materials, subs, overhead—so clients understand what goes into your rate. Be confident Clients can sense uncertainty. If you hesitate or over-explain, it creates doubt. Quote clearly and stand behind your values. 5. Track What Happens Next After you raise rates, keep an eye on: Win/loss rate (are fewer clients saying yes?) Job profitability (are you keeping more after costs?) Client satisfaction (any change in feedback or reviews?) Hours worked vs. income (are you earning more with less hustle?) Often, you'll find you're getting fewer clients, but better ones. And that's the goal: less chaos, more profit, and more control over your schedule. Final Thoughts You Deserve to Be Paid for What You're Worth You started your business to build freedom, not to be overworked and underpaid. Raising your rates isn't risky when data, systems, and experience back it. It's a sign of growth and professionalism. The right clients will respect it, and you'll finally start seeing the kind of income and balance your hard work deserves. Need Help Understanding Your Numbers Before You Raise Rates? As a construction bookkeeping specialist, we help contractors: Break down job costs Analyze profit margins Clean up financials Set pricing that actually works As we always say, Contractors like you deserve to be wealthy because you bring value to other people's lives. You don't need more jobs. You need the right jobs at the correct rate. Let's get you there.

C3 Metals Inc CEO Dan Symons talked with Proactive about the company's upcoming maiden drill program at the Khaleesi project in Peru. Symons called the receipt of permits “a very significant milestone” and highlighted the challenges of operating in Peru, especially securing social licence from local communities. He said the company is proud of its corporate social responsibility work in the region. Khaleesi is described as a top geological target in C3's portfolio, with large copper soil anomalies including up to 1,260 ppm copper—far exceeding typical exploration excitement thresholds. Symons noted that rock chip samples have returned up to 2.8% copper and 6 grams of gold per ton. The drill program will consist of 14 holes over 6,000 meters, focused on both skarn and suspected porphyry targets. C3 Metals is fully funded for the program and expects to start drilling in September. Symons said: “We have a chance for looking at the size of the anomaly on our ground for a very sizable deposit… It's never had a drill hole.” Alongside Khaleesi, C3 is advancing two other projects in Jamaica—Super Block and Bellas Gate. All three projects are fully financed, and the company anticipates a news-heavy second half of the year. For more interviews like this, visit Proactive's YouTube channel.

Calm on the Surface, Distress Below: Joe Blackbourn on the State of Sunbelt Multifamily   The Eye of the Storm? When my podcast guest this week, Joe Blackbourn, president and founder of Everest Holdings, stepped in front of a room of ULI members in late 2024, he titled his multifamily market forecast “An Underdressed Weatherman Gets Sent Into a Hurricane.”   The image was evocative – and accurate. Multifamily investors, developers, and lenders had been navigating gale-force winds of rising rates, inflation shocks, and structural cost resets. And yet, as Blackbourn noted in my conversation with him, today the industry still appears eerily calm.   “There's a lot of stormy weather on the horizon, and, like a hurricane, we don't know quite where it's going to land or how bad it's going to be.”   The Invisible Cost of ‘Calm' Core inflation may be retreating, but the real story, Blackbourn argues, is not about the rate of change. It's about the baseline shift.   “Even if we're at just over 2% now, it's still a 30% increase in a very short period of time,” he said, referring to food prices, but with implications for housing as well. Home prices in many U.S. markets, particularly across the Sunbelt, have surged by 30–50% since 2020. That repricing is likely to stick.   “It's really difficult to give that pricing back,” he added. “Short of some real economic calamity, the best we can manage is slower growth, not a decline in consumer pricing.”   That same principle is locking up real estate deals. Rent growth has slowed, but operating expenses have not. The result is compressed margins, sluggish NOI, and a widespread inability to transact or refinance.   Multifamily: Where Distress Hides Quietly On paper, the multifamily sector looks surprisingly stable. Cap rates for high-quality assets remain in the 5.0%–5.25% range, and transaction volume is beginning to pick up in select markets. But beneath the surface, stress is mounting.   “There's a lot of stress at the balance sheet level,” said Blackbourn. “And it's not being helped by property-level performance.”   In many Sunbelt markets, especially those with pandemic-era construction booms, organic NOI growth is flat or negative. Rent collection is delayed, staffing is inconsistent, and delinquencies are rising.   “We're seeing situations where it's taking all month to get the rents collected,” he noted. “You'd be at the 15th of the month with less than 50% of rents in the door.”   Yet distress sales remain rare. Why? Blackbourn offers two reasons: Lender tactics: Debt funds are “hope-certificating” properties, granting extensions, persuading sponsors to inject capital, and delaying the inevitable. Human psychology: “There's a survival instinct at work,” he observed. “People will do whatever they can to stay in the game.” What Keeps Deals Frozen? Everyone is waiting. Borrowers, lenders, and investors are all betting on falling interest rates to solve their problems. But Blackbourn remains skeptical.   “I don't think it's inevitable that rates come down,” he said. “And yet, it's within the debt fund's interest to persuade borrowers that they will.”   Many current valuations are premised on that hope. But even if rates do drop, the bid-ask spread remains wide. In his words, “It feels like this really taut balloon; fragile.”   Why Aren't Cap Rates Rising Faster? One of the stranger dynamics in today's market is that cap rates haven't risen much, despite the Fed holding policy rates above 5%. High-quality assets are still trading at 5%–5.25% caps. How is that possible?   “If you have the right basis, you can sell into that,” Blackbourn explained. “The pricing for high-quality assets hasn't jumped that much.”   But for vintage assets, pricing capitulation is coming. Lenders are forcing assets to market when no other solutions are viable. And while buyers are circling, few are pouncing.   Supply, Demand, and the Surprise of Absorption Another surprise: absorption is holding up remarkably well.   “We're seeing absorption that's about keeping up with supply,” Blackbourn noted. “In some markets, we're about to hit the point where we're absorbing more units than we're adding.”   This matters. Historically, once net absorption overtakes new deliveries, rents begin to recover, often before occupancy hits 95%. And that could happen sooner than expected in markets like Phoenix.   “We're modeling that inflection point this year,” he said.   But again, bifurcation matters. New Class A developments are attracting high-income renters,  people who once would have bought homes. Meanwhile, vintage B and C properties are seeing tenants who are increasingly rent-burdened.   “In new projects, we're seeing a higher-income demographic than we've ever seen,” said Blackbourn. “But in older assets, collections are way down. Rents are up 30%, but incomes aren't.”   The Forecast: Q3 and Q4 2025 Looking ahead to the rest of the year, Blackbourn sees a mixed bag. More volume is expected from both opportunistic buyers and forced sellers. Permits are collapsing, setting up an eventual rebound in pricing power. Selective outperformers will emerge in submarkets with favorable rent-to-income ratios. “We could see surprising outperformance in the asset class sooner than people think,” he said. “But it will be bifurcated by quality, by tenant income, and by geography.”   In short, the underdressed weatherman may not be in the eye of the storm just yet – but the wind is shifting.

Welcome back to Dental Unscripted Shark Week!

From Colorado's Blue Lakes Trail limiting hikers to 40 per day, to Bhutan charging tourists $200 daily just to exist in the country, this episode explores the uncomfortable truth about environmental protection: the solutions that actually work all involve saying NO. We examine successful tourism limits from the Galápagos Islands to Antarctica, revealing how permits, quotas, and fees are preserving ecosystems while mass tourism destinations collapse under their own popularity. The evidence is overwhelming—places like Thailand's Maya Bay and Mount Everest show what happens when we prioritize unlimited access over protection.But here's the breakthrough insight environmentalists are missing: tourism limits have broader political support than almost any other environmental policy. Even people who oppose carbon taxes will fight to protect their favorite hiking spots from overcrowding. Tourism restrictions work politically because the problem and solution are both visible and immediate—unlike abstract climate policies, everyone understands not wanting paradise destroyed by crowds. This could be our gateway to normalizing environmental protection that actually requires limits on consumption.The episode reveals how accepting permits for wilderness areas could lead to accepting limits everywhere else. From Hawaii's new green fees funding climate adaptation to the Netherlands' A-E scoring system for flights, tourism policy is quietly teaching people that environmental protection requires sacrifice. We're not just saving hiking trails and coral reefs—we're changing how people think about growth, limits, and what's worth protecting. Tourism restrictions could be the trojan horse for climate action that actually works.A CALL TO ACT: Comprehensive Database of Eco-SolutionsTRUMPING TRUMP Database for the New American Resistance RevolutionEpisode WebpageEpisode 36: Touching on Similar Themes — 1.

Peyton and Jamie are back for this month's 'A Planned Party' miniseries, where they break down the common misconceptions behind zoning permits, and the value they serve in keeping our county from descending into chaos. 

What if zoning rules weren't barriers—but puzzle pieces?   In this episode, I sit down again with urbanist and investor Jeffrey Kirton to demystify the complex world of city planning, zoning, and permitting in Montreal. We break down acronyms like PPCMOI, PIIA, and CCU, and explain how developers can navigate these layers of approval to unlock real opportunities. From overlapping regulations to political bottlenecks, Jeffrey shares how to manage city processes with more confidence and less guesswork.   We dive into how to plan for setbacks, height allowances, and parking requirements—and why understanding both the written code and the unspoken rules can make or break your project. Jeffrey also explains how site selection, due diligence, and community engagement shape what you can actually build, no matter what the zoning map says.   Tune in to learn how real urban planning works behind the scenes—and how knowing the system can help you avoid costly delays and turn complex sites into real value.   —   Tired of spreadsheets and admin headaches in your rental business?   If you're a real estate investor looking to simplify operations and grow your portfolio, Kompas is your new best friend. This all-in-one property management and accounting software helps you automate the tedious stuff—like receivables, renewals, and leasing—so you can focus on creating value.   Boost your cash flow, improve your NOI, cut down back-office work, and scale with confidence.

This episode is all about the 174-mile Tahoe Rim Trail — how to hike it, bike it, or even ride it on horseback— plus what's being done to keep this incredible land public. A recent threat to sell off parts of the trail and surrounding areas could have been devastating, but two experts from the Tahoe Rim Trail Association (TRTA) are here to break it all down. We're joined by TRTA's Executive Director, Lindsey Schultz, and Communications Manager, Daniel Corona, who share how the trail is maintained, how you can get involved, and the role TRTA plays in preserving access to the Lake Tahoe backcountry.

Now here's your hosts, Alan Hall, Joel Saxon, Phil Totaro, and Rosemary Barnes.  Allen Hall 2025: Well welcome back to Uptime Wind Energy Podcast. I have Rosemary Barnes down in Canberra Australia. Phil's in California, and evidently he lives next door to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and I, I had no idea, Phil, like you're that close to royalty.  Phil Totaro: I'm not. You're  Allen Hall 2025: making that up. Joel's up in Wisconsin somewhere in the northern wilds of Wisconsin. Next to a cheese factory, and here I sit in Charlotte, North Carolina. If we've been paying attention or if you've been paying attention to the news over the last, uh, 48 hours in America has been complete chaos as we are recording this and the US Senate has [00:01:00] passed a bill regarding renewable energy and it's back to the house. Supposedly this is all gonna get signed off by the 4th of July. So we're recording it. Today is July 2nd. Um. So by the time you hear this, something may or may not have happened, and we're trying to keep abreast of the latest, but I think there's some other news going on around the world. And, uh, one of the stories we found interesting was the Danish Offshore, uh, agency Energy Agency has approved permit extensions for two of Denmark's oldest offshore wind farms, which marks a major milestone for. Wind energy longevity. The middle Gruden and Newstead offshore wind farms have received permission to operate for an additional 25 years and 10 years respectively. That is massive extension. Uh, the middle Gruden facility, which is built in 2001, has about 20 turbines and about 40 megawatts of capacity, and it's owned by a community cooperative. [00:02:00] And the Danes being on top of all these things, uh, allowed the extension after doing an engineering analysis showing that the infrastructure has more life. This is unusual. Is this just a artifact of early designs being overly conservative? And these wind farms can practically live forever? I think so. I, uh,  Joel Saxum: I like it. Alright. I wish that all these wind turbines are built this way because it's then you can get more longevity of, I think now of course when everybody has a repower now or tries to extend life, they're trying to really do it. So they're trying to, if we're gonna put money, we'll try to, you know, up the kilowatt, we'll try to up the capacity, well then the foundations don't hold and these kind of things. So it's kind of like if you look at, um. I'm up here in northern Wisconsin, not too far from my house. There's a bridge that was built by the CCC, uh, the civilian Conservation Corps in like the, um, at the Great Depression. So like in the 1930s, late, [00:03:00] late 1920s. And that bridge is fine. Like it's golden. It's still good, right? But it was overbuilt, super built to be heavy duty construction. And there's another bridge just down the road from that same one over the same river that was done in the seventies that needs a complete replacement. Because it was done, it was done with like, you know, di different design functions, not as robust. And,
