While most entrepreneurs chase the next shiny object, they are glazing right past one of the most powerful growth strategies: referral marketing. In this episode, Kelly continues the Analog in an AI Era series with part two of the conversation on building a million dollar referral pipeline. The truth is, it does not take hundreds of clients to make a million dollar leap in your business. In fact, for many mid to high ticket offers, just a handful of high quality referrals can completely transform your revenue. In this episode, Kelly walks you through the exact steps to activate a powerful referral pipeline by identifying your top centers of influence, creating clear incentives for partners, and building a simple campaign that makes referring easy. You'll also learn how referral marketing can be systemized inside your business so that anyone on your team can generate revenue, even in just one hour a day. If you're looking for a simple, relationship-driven way to scale your business in today's rapidly changing landscape, this episode will show you how to leverage the most overlooked strategy for predictable growth. You'll learn: How to identify your top 10 centers of influence for referrals Why referral partners are motivated by more than just financial rewards How to create a simple referral campaign with multiple touchpoints Ways to make your business easy and natural for others to refer How referral marketing can be delegated inside your company to break founder dependency Resources:  Get on the Miracle Hour early listener's lst to be one of the first to listen to the audiobook: https://api.leadconnectorhq.com/widget/form/u3RyaGPFchNEHdnSf4lD  Pre-Order Your Physical Copy of The Miracle Hour Book: Buy in bulk and get tens of thousands of dollars in extra bonuses: https://themiraclehourbook.com  Subscribe to Kelly's Substack as a free, paid, or founding member: https://kellyroachofficial.substack.com/subscribe  Follow Kelly on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kellyroachofficial/  Follow Kelly on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kelly.roach.520/  Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kellyroachint/ 

If your business is built on your thinking, your insight, and your ability to diagnose problems, giving strategy away for free is not generosity. It's a broken revenue model. Too many consultants, advisors, and service-based professionals fall into the same pattern. We jump on call after call, answer “quick questions,” and unpack strategy before someone has made any real commitment. It feels productive in the moment. But the reality is different. Time gets drained. Energy disappears. Proposals get ghosted. And while we're entertaining window shoppers, the people who are actually ready to invest are waiting. In this episode, we break down the mindset shift many consultants need to make: clarity itself has value. Diagnosing problems, identifying direction, and helping someone understand what to do next is real work. Lawyers charge for advice. Doctors charge for diagnosis. Accountants charge for insight. Strategists, marketers, and consultants should too. In addition, let's unpack the larger reality happening across modern marketing and business. Why many companies misuse paid advertising, why marketing cannot fix weak products, and why the explosion of AI-driven content makes authentic positioning and human connection more important than ever. If you're a consultant, strategist, coach, or service-based entrepreneur who feels stuck chasing conversations that never convert, this episode will challenge how you think about value, boundaries, and how you position your expertise in the market. Key Topics Covered: Why letting people “pick your brain” for free undermines your business The hidden revenue cost of endless discovery calls Why chasing vanity metrics and pipeline volume can hurt real growth The difference between window shoppers and serious buyers Why clarity, diagnosis, and strategy are valuable services How consultants accidentally train clients to expect free expertise Why marketing cannot fix weak products or poor positioning When paid advertising actually works and when it doesn't Why human creativity and connection still matter in an AI-driven market How boundaries and positioning increase both revenue and respect Beyond The Episode Gems: Buy My Book, Strategize Up: The Blueprint To Scale Your Business: StrategizeUpBook.com Discover All Podcasts On The HubSpot Podcast Network Get Free HubSpot Marketing Tools To Help You Grow Your Business Grow Your Business Faster Using HubSpot's CRM Platform Support The Podcast & Connect With Troy:  Rate & Review iDigress: iDigress.fm/Reviews Follow Troy's Socials @FindTroy: LinkedIn, Instagram, Threads, TikTok Subscribe to Troy's YouTube Channel For Strategy Videos & See Masterclass Episodes Need Growth Strategy, A Keynote Speaker, Or Want To Sponsor The Podcast?

Court records and newly surfaced documents indicated that Jeffrey Epstein financed the tuition of a student attending the University of California, Berkeley School of Law. According to records reviewed in the report, Epstein paid roughly $26,000 in tuition for the law student. In return, the student allegedly helped recruit or refer young women to work for Epstein as “assistants,” a term widely used within Epstein's network to describe women who often performed personal or administrative tasks around his operations. The arrangement appeared to mirror patterns seen in other parts of Epstein's network, where financial support, gifts, or opportunities were provided in exchange for helping connect him with women.The report highlighted how Epstein leveraged money and influence to build relationships within elite institutions, including universities, where tuition payments and donations could open doors. Documents suggested that paying the Berkeley student's tuition was part of a broader strategy in which Epstein used financial incentives to cultivate loyal intermediaries who could introduce him to potential recruits or associates. The revelations added to growing evidence from released files showing that Epstein repeatedly used his wealth and connections to gain access to young women while embedding himself within respected academic and professional environments.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:‘Price to pay for Berkeley': Jeffrey Epstein paid law student's tuition in exchange for ‘assistants' | National | dailycal.org

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop sits down with Andre Oliveira, founder of Splash N Color, a bootstrapped 3D printing e-commerce business selling consumer goods on Amazon. The two cover a lot of ground — from how Andre went from running 40 FDM printers out of South Florida to offshoring manufacturing to China, to how he's using Claude Code to automate inventory management and generate supplier RFQs across 200+ SKUs. The conversation stretches into bigger territory too: the San Francisco AI scene, the rise of AI agents and what they mean for the future of the internet, whether local on-device AI will eventually replace cloud-based tools, and why building physical products will stay hard long after software becomes easy. It's a candid, wide-ranging conversation between two self-taught builders figuring things out in real time. Follow Andre on X: @AndreBaach.Timestamps00:00 — Andre introduces Splash N Color, his Amazon-based 3D printing e-commerce business and explains the grind of running 40 FDM machines in South Florida.05:00 — The conversation shifts to Claude Code and how Andre built an inventory automation system to manage sales velocity and RFQs across 200+ SKUs.10:00 — Stewart and Andre compare notes on Opus 4.6, debate Codex vs Claude, and Andre breaks down the new Agent Teams feature in Claude Code.15:00 — Discussion turns to the San Francisco AI scene, the viral OpenClaw launch event that drew 700 people, and what's capturing the city's imagination right now.20:00 — The pair wrestle with data privacy, the illusion of it since 2000, and whether full transparency of personal data might actually serve people better.25:00 — Stewart pitches his vision of local on-device AI replacing cloud tools entirely, and they debate the 10–15 year timeline for mainstream societal adoption.30:00 — Andre traces his origin story: a high school dropout from Brazil who spotted a 3D printing opportunity on Facebook Marketplace and got lucky timing with COVID.35:00 — They explore whether AI-generated 3D models and DfAM will automate physical manufacturing, and why proprietary specs keep the space stubbornly hard.Key InsightsLifestyle businesses deserve more respect. Andre spent months feeling inadequate scrolling through Twitter watching founders announce funding rounds, before realizing his cash-flowing, location-independent business was already the goal. The social media version of entrepreneurial success warped his perception of what he actually had built.Claude Code is becoming an operating system. Stewart describes running Claude Code as having a second OS on top of MacOS — one that makes the underlying machine legible in ways it never was before. Both guests use it not just for coding but as a primary interface for understanding and operating their businesses.Agent Teams changes how work gets done. Andre explains that Claude's new multi-agent feature lets you assign a team lead and specialized roles that communicate with each other in parallel, essentially running an autonomous task force inside your terminal — a meaningful leap beyond single-instance prompting.Physical manufacturing will stay hard. Even as AI-generated 3D models improve, tolerances of 0.5 millimeters can mean the difference between a product working or not. Design for manufacturing is a separate discipline from design itself, and proprietary specs mean open source models rarely hit commercial quality.The internet is heading toward agents. Both guests agree that AI agents will increasingly handle tasks humans currently do manually online — booking services, making payments, coordinating logistics — with the human internet potentially becoming secondary to a machine-to-machine layer.Iteration is the real value of 3D printing. Andre pushes back on 3D printing as a business unto itself, framing it instead as a prototyping tool. The true value is rapid iteration on housing, tolerances, and fit — not the printer, but the speed of the feedback loop it enables.Technology compounds in layers. Andre closes with a tech-tree analogy: each generation normalizes the tools of the previous one and builds the next layer on top. Agentic coding today is what the internet was in the 90s — the foundation for something we can't yet fully see.

If you are not hitting your pipeline goals, you might be ignoring the easiest way to generate revenue: a systematic referral program. Mason Cosby argues that most organizations leave millions of dollars on the table simply because they do not know how to ask for referrals effectively.ㅤMany revenue leaders fall into the trap of thinking referrals are serendipitous or awkward to request. In this episode of Scrappy ABM, Mason breaks down a repeatable process to turn referrals into a scalable revenue engine. He explains exactly when to make the ask, how to structure incentives so everyone wins, and why even offboarding can be a prime opportunity for growth.ㅤWhat We CoverThe three common referral camps: Why most companies either never ask, only get referrals by accident, or rely on a single salesperson to do all the work.The "Wingman Referral" concept: How to structure incentives (inspired by Acquisition.com) that reward both the person making the referral and the new prospect.Asking at the close: Why new customers are actually the best source of referrals immediately after they sign the contract.Leveraging QBRs: Using Quarterly Business Reviews to remind happy clients about referral incentives with a one-time invoice discount.Monetizing offboarding: A strategy to waive final invoices in exchange for introductions when a client leaves due to budget cuts.The economics of referrals: How to calculate the right incentive amount based on your existing Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC).Target Account Mapping: Moving away from generic "who do you know" questions to asking for specific introductions within your target market.ㅤResourcesAcquisition.com: The source of the "Wingman Referral" concept mentioned by Mason.Scrappy ABM: Visit for more ABM tips and strategies.Connect with Mason: Connect with Mason on LinkedIn for a conversation about ABM.ㅤIf you enjoyed today's episode and found valuable insights for your business, be sure to subscribe to the Scrappy ABM podcast for more expert discussions.

In dieser Episode sprechen wir mit Matze, dem Gründer und CEO von Jimdo, über die Veränderungen und Herausforderungen, die das Unternehmen in der neuen Ära der KI-Tools bewältigt. Matze gibt einen tiefen Einblick in die Entwicklung von Jimdo seit der letzten Aufnahme im Jahr 2020 und erläutert, warum er optimistisch in die Zukunft blickt. Wir diskutieren, wie Jimdo sich als Plattform für Selbstständige und kleine Unternehmen positioniert hat und welche neuen Funktionen und Produkte in der Pipeline sind, um den Nutzern zu helfen, ihre Webseiten effektiver zu gestalten und ihre Geschäfte voranzutreiben. Matze betont die unternehmerische Freiheit, die sie seit dem Rückkauf aller Anteile von Investoren gewinnen konnten, und wie dies die langfristige Vision von Jimdo positiv beeinflusst hat. Wir werfen einen Blick auf die Historie des Unternehmens, das seit 2007 existiert, und beleuchten die Mission, Webseiten für jedermann zugänglich zu machen. Dabei wird deutlich, dass Jimdo besonders auf die Bedürfnisse von Solo-Selbstständigen und kleinen Unternehmen eingeht, die oft nicht über das nötige technische Wissen oder die Ressourcen verfügen, um ihre Online-Präsenz zu stärken.

Send a textDaniel Gledhill is a seasoned manufacturing and engineering leader whose career bridges high-risk industrial operations and precision-driven medical device manufacturing. Daniel leads engineering teams responsible for multiple production areas supporting transcatheter heart valve delivery systems—products where quality, reliability, and patient safety are absolutely critical.Daniel's journey to medical devices began in heavy industry, where he worked as a process, chemical, and metallurgical engineer at Rio Tinto, including leadership roles at copper smelters overseeing sulfuric acid plants, powerhouses, and byproduct operations. These early roles shaped his systems-level thinking, comfort with complex processes, and respect for disciplined operations—skills that would later translate powerfully into regulated medical manufacturing environments.Over nearly ten years at Edwards Lifesciences, Daniel has progressed from manufacturing management into senior engineering leadership, guiding teams through scale-up, process improvement, cross-functional collaboration, and organizational change. His work sits at the intersection of engineering, manufacturing, quality, and leadership—where decisions directly impact both operational performance and patient outcomes.Daniel holds a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Utah, along with an MBA from the University of Utah's David Eccles School of Business. This combination of technical and business education informs his balanced approach to leadership—one that values data, people, and long-term system health over short-term wins.In this conversation, we explore what it really means to lead engineering teams in medical device manufacturing, how leadership expectations evolve as engineers move into management, and what lessons from heavy industry can sharpen execution in highly regulated, patient-critical environments.LINKS:Guest LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-gledhill-a6155237/Guest website: https://www.edwards.com/  Aaron Moncur, hostDownload the Essential Guide to Designing Test Fixtures: https://pipelinemedialab.beehiiv.com/test-fixture Subscribe to the show to get notified so you don't miss new episodes every Friday.The Being An Engineer podcast is brought to you by Pipeline Design & Engineering.

Diesmal mit Verena Kern und Susanne Schwarz. Wirtschaftsministerin Katherina Reiche (CDU) will die staatliche Förderung für kleine Solaranlagen stoppen. Das heißt in erster Linie: die Förderung für Bürger:innen, die sich eine Solaranlage aufs Dach setzen wollen. Ein Ölkonzern hat in den USA erfolgreich Greenpeace auf eine gigantische Schadensersatzsumme verklagt. Die Organisation hatte sich vor Jahren an Protesten gegen eine Pipeline des Unternehmens beteiligt. Greenpeace sieht das als Versuch, die Zivilgesellschaft einzuschränken. Sollte das Urteil Bestand haben, kann es sein, dass die US-Gruppe von Greenpeace Insolvenz anmelden muss. Eine Studie kommt zu einem alarmierenden Ergebnis: Der Meeresspiegel wird bislang systematisch unterschätzt. Das bedeutet auch, dass der künftige Meeresspiegelanstieg noch viel mehr Menschen betreffen könnte als bisher gedacht. -- Das klima update° wird jede Woche von Spender:innen unterstützt.

I spent an afternoon at Ramsey Solutions in Tennessee with Jason Williams, Vice President of Sales for the EntreLeadership Division. What stood out wasn’t the size of the operation or the fancy building. It was walking into a room where sales reps genuinely wanted to talk to their leader. Most sales floors feel like number factories. Reps avoid their managers. One-on-ones get rescheduled. And everyone wonders why performance stays flat despite “investing in our people.” Sales leaders say coaching matters. They talk about developing talent. Then they spend their days staring at dashboards and asking why the team isn’t getting better. Real sales coaching looks nothing like what most organizations call coaching. And after watching Jason work, I’m reminded why so few leaders actually get this right. What Sales Coaching Actually Looks Like Jason told me about one of his reps who started missing quota. Here’s what usually happens: Manager pulls up the CRM, points at red pipeline metrics, asks what happened. The conversation goes nowhere. Rep gets defensive, makes excuses, promises to work harder. Nothing changes. Jason took a different approach. He asked about his rep’s life. Turned out he was stressed about buying his first house. That weight was bleeding into his work, affecting his confidence on calls, making him hesitant to push for commitments. So Jason got into the field with him. He listened to calls. He rode along on appointments. He watched where deals were actually stalling. Then they debriefed what he observed. “Here’s what happens when pricing comes up.” “Let’s tighten how you handle that objection.” Zero mention of quota or pipeline metrics. The rep turned it around because someone cared enough to understand what was broken and help him fix it. That’s what coaching looks like. Managers react to outcomes they can’t change. Coaches focus on behaviors that create future outcomes. Why Most Leaders Don’t Coach The biggest barrier isn’t that leaders don’t want to coach. Most genuinely do. The problem is they don’t know what they’re looking for because they never see their reps in action. Think about last week. How many discovery calls did you listen to? How many demos did you observe? How many customer meetings did you attend just to watch your rep work? If the answer is zero, you’re coaching from spreadsheets instead of reality. You’re looking at lag indicators (closed deals, pipeline value, activity counts) and trying to diagnose skill gaps without ever seeing the skills in action. Jason blocks time every week to observe his reps. He's not there to supervise them or take over calls. Just to watch. Then the coaching becomes specific. He can say, “when that prospect brought up budget concerns, you deflected instead of asking questions,” instead of just “you need to handle objections better.” You can’t coach what you don’t see.  The second barrier is culture. In typical organizations, admitting weakness feels dangerous. You’re supposed to be confident, crushing it, always having answers. So problems stay hidden until they show up in the numbers. By then, it’s too late to coach. You’re in damage control. Creating an Environment Where Problems Surface Early Jason builds what he calls a “safe space” for his team. When a rep is struggling, he starts the conversation with curiosity instead of judgment. He asks open questions about what they’re experiencing, where they’re getting stuck, what feels hard right now. When reps admit struggles, he treats it as useful information, not a character flaw. A rep says, “I’m nervous on C-suite calls,” and Jason’s response is “okay, let’s work on that,” not “you shouldn’t be nervous.” Then he follows through. If someone admits they’re stuck, he actually helps them. He role-plays the situation. He rides along on the next similar call. He provides tools and frameworks. The rep sees that honesty led to help, not punishment. Over time, reps learn that surfacing problems early gets them solved. Hiding problems just makes things worse. So they start talking about what’s actually happening instead of pretending everything is fine while their numbers slide. The first time someone admits a weakness and you respond with frustration, you train the entire team to stay quiet. Managers say they want transparency. Few consistently reward it. How to Actually Build a Coaching Culture If you want to coach instead of manage, you have to make developing people the primary job.  Jason is clear that his main responsibility is making his reps better. Everything else supports that goal. Pipeline reviews and forecasting matter, but they exist to serve sales coaching, not the other way around. Protecting coaching time is non-negotiable. One hour per rep per week, minimum. When conflicts come up, the internal meeting gets moved, not the coaching session. Getting better at coaching matters too. Most of us got promoted because we were individual contributors. Nobody taught us how to develop other people. So we replicate whatever leadership we experienced, which is usually mediocre. Your reps practice selling every day. You should practice coaching. Role-play difficult conversations with your peers. Practice giving feedback. Work on observation skills. Treat coaching like the professional skill it is. And you have to measure what matters. If you only track team revenue, you’ll optimize for short-term numbers at the expense of development. Start measuring coaching conversations. Track whether your reps are improving on specific skills. Monitor how long it takes new hires to ramp. When I walked through Ramsey Solutions that day, I could feel the difference. Reps weren’t avoiding their leader. Retention was better. Performance was compounding over time instead of bouncing around based on whoever happened to be hot that quarter. What Happens Next Look at your calendar from last week. How much time did you spend observing your reps versus reviewing their numbers? How many true coaching conversations did you have versus pipeline reviews? If that ratio doesn't reflect what you say your priorities are, you've found the gap. Your reps don't need another dashboard. They need a leader who sees the work, understands where it's breaking down, and knows how to help them improve. Sales coaching isn't reacting to results. It's shaping the behaviors that create them. The question is whether you're willing to make that your real job. — Ready to build a stronger sales team?

Jack sits down with Paul Calf (Salesforce Release Manager at Standard Life, and Gearset DevOps Leader for 2026) to talk through a decade-long Salesforce journey that took him from accidental admin to release manager. Paul gets candid about the failed audit that forced his team to get serious about governance, what it looked like to build a compliant release process from scratch, and why cherry-picking components in VS Code nearly broke him (and the team).The conversation goes beyond tooling. Paul opens up about the culture-first approach his team takes to collaboration, from daily standups to blameless post-mortems, and what happens when someone accidentally data loads the wrong file into prod. He also shares his take on evaluating DevOps tools, approval bottlenecks, and how his financial services org is treading carefully, but deliberately, into AI territory.About DevOps Diaries: Salesforce DevOps Advocate Jack McCurdy chats to members of the Salesforce community about their experience in the Salesforce ecosystem.

Tom Carroll doesn't just have 2 World Titles and 3 Pipe Masters — he's got one of the most honest comeback stories in surfing. In this episode of Pinch My Salt, Sterling Spencer and Cousin Ryan sit down with the Aussie legend to talk about life after pro surfing, the pressure of being on top, and the dark chapter Tom has openly shared: drug addiction, recovery, and learning how to feel “love trying to get in” again. Tom breaks down how grief, trauma, and single-minded focus helped build a world champion… and how that same intensity can eventually turn on you.We also get into Mark Occhilupo, Kelly Slater, the 80s/90s era, training, meditation, foiling, Pipeline, North Shore stories, and why staying inspired by the next generation keeps him ripping at 64.If you love surf history, WSL legends, and real conversations about mental health, addiction, and redemption, this one hits deep (and still gets weird/funny, obviously).#TomCarroll #SurfingPodcast #PinchMySalt #SterlingSpencer #CousinRyan #Pipeline #PipeMasters #WorldChampion #AussieSurfer #WSL #KellySlater #MarkOcchilupo #SurfHistory #NorthShore #MentalHealth #AddictionRecovery #Sobriety #Meditation #SurfCulture #80sSurf #90sSurf #PowerSurfing #Foiling

Send a textIdaho has had charter schools for nearly three decades. They were created to innovate, and the question today is: are they doing that? In this episode, I'm joined by Duncan Robb, education policy expert and the writer behind the Substack K–12 Education in Idaho (k12educationidaho.substack.com). We break down the basics, what charter schools are (and aren't), how they're governed, and the role of the Idaho Public Charter School Commission...then zoom out to the bigger policy design question: if charters were meant to be “labs of innovation,” who is responsible for making sure what works actually transfers to traditional public schools? We also talk through current education policy debates, including state testing, accountability, and what meaningful flexibility really looks like in practice. By the end of the conversation, it was clear we had only scratched the surface, so stay tuned for more conversations with Duncan as we continue digging into charter schools and education policy in Idaho. Bonus: Duncan and I don't agree on everything, which makes for a fun conversation.Find Alexis on Instagram and JOIN in the conversation: https://www.instagram.com/the_idaho_lady/ JOIN the convo on Substack & STAY up-to-date with emails and posts https://substack.com/@theidaholady?r=5katbx&utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-page Send Alexis an email with guest requests, ideas, or potential collaboration.email@thealexismorgan.comFind great resources, info on school communities, and other current projects regarding public policy:https://www.thealexismorgan.com

Dylan Crews gets hit by a pitch and all of Nationals Park holds its breath. Is this just a minor spring scare or something bigger? We break down the thumb contusion, what it means for the Nats' 2026 season, and who benefits if Crews misses time. Plus, MLB Pipeline drops its updated Top 30 prospects list — and there are some serious risers in the system. Yoel Tejada is climbing. Miguel Sime hasn't thrown a pitch and still moved up. And what exactly are the Nationals doing with Gavin Fien defensively? We dive deep into what it all means for the rebuild and why the system might be trending up faster than people think.

Global hotel "conditions" don't hit everyone the same way. The big franchise companies play a global game. Most owners play a street-corner game with one asset and one set of debt terms. That gap matters. I talked with Bruce Ford (SVP, Lodging Econometrics) about the global pipeline and the economic forces shaping what actually gets built, renovated, or converted right now. I'm sharing it under hashtag#NoVacancyNews.

⭐️ Get Your Buckeye Gear ON SALE NOW!!! VISIT TheBuckeyeCast.com https://thebuckeyecast.com/ The NFL Combine just wrapped up, and it's time to say the quiet part out loud: the Big Ten is winning the "NFL pipeline" battle right now — and the SEC's old trump card is fading. For years, the SEC's last line of defense in every conference argument was simple: "Yeah, but we produce the most NFL dudes." After this Combine + early 2026 draft boards? That argument is getting a lot harder to make. In this episode, we break down the Combine story the national media keeps tiptoeing around: Why the top-end draft talent is tilting Big Ten (and not just Ohio State) How the fastest DB group on record changes the "SEC speed" narrative The Big Ten's current advantage in elite athletic testing + top-of-draft presence What it means for Ohio State's identity, recruiting, and national perception And why the SEC may be leaning on portal patchwork more than "homegrown development" in this draft cycle We'll also talk about the Combine freak-show performances that lit the fuse — including the kind of testing numbers that should have Big Ten fans screaming "Big Ten speed" from the rooftops.

This week on the podcast, Shannon Donoghue joins us to talk about why she's so passionate about telling the story of wool. Growing up on a sheep property in South Australia, Shannon started off in the industry as a wool classer before stepping into her current role as an industry relations officer with AWI. Her work now involves helping producers better understand where levy investment goes and ensuring their feedback shapes research, development and marketing.Alongside that, Shannon has built a significant following online, sharing drone footage and, more recently, "Weekly Wool Facts", a series to get more people interested and excited about sheep and fibre production. Shannon also explains the shift in consumer attitudes post-COVID and the move towards everyday wool in casual and athletic wear, rather than the standard woollen suit. Head Shepherd is brought to you by neXtgen Agri International Limited.

Day four of the Kouri Richins murder trial brought the witness prosecutors have been building toward since the case began. Carmen Lauber, Kouri Richins' former housekeeper, testified under immunity that she purchased illicit drugs for Kouri four times in the weeks surrounding Eric Richins' death in March 2022.According to Lauber's testimony, the requests started with pain pills allegedly meant for an investor and escalated to fentanyl. Lauber says she told Kouri the pills were fentanyl and that Kouri told her to go ahead and get them. Cash was left in a house Kouri was flipping. Pills were dropped in a firepit. The system, as Lauber described it, was designed to keep Kouri at a distance from every handoff.The most damaging testimony may have been what allegedly happened after Eric died. According to phone records displayed in court, Kouri texted Lauber three days after her husband's death asking if she still had her connection. She paid for the purchase with a check disguised as a cleaning payment. And when Lauber says she confronted Kouri about whether the pills had been for Eric, Kouri allegedly told her he died from a brain aneurysm.The defense landed significant blows on cross. Lauber tested positive for meth throughout the period of the alleged deals, initially told investigators Kouri asked for oxycodone rather than fentanyl, and confirmed that a recorded meeting with investigators included the instruction to provide details that would ensure a conviction. Her drug source, Robert Crozier, has also changed his account of what he sold her.Earlier in the day, toxicology testimony confirmed five times the lethal dose of illicit fentanyl in Eric's blood. No hydrocodone was detected. The jury also heard about phones belonging to Kouri's alleged boyfriend that were initially reported broken but later became operable and were processed by the FBI.Kouri Richins has pleaded not guilty to all charges and is presumed innocent. Cross-examination continues Friday.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The fourth day of the Kouri Richins murder trial put the prosecution's most important witness on the stand — and the defense spent the rest of the afternoon trying to tear her apart. Carmen Lauber, the former housekeeper who allegedly obtained the fentanyl prosecutors say was used to kill Eric Richins, testified to four escalating drug transactions she says she carried out at Kouri's direction.Lauber told the jury she bought pills for Kouri starting in late January 2022 after being told they were for an investor. The requests allegedly escalated from generic opiates to fentanyl, with Kouri approving the purchase after being informed of what the pills contained. Lauber described cash drops in a house Kouri was flipping, pills left in a firepit, and a fourth buy that happened just days after Eric was found dead — paid for with a check made out for cleaning work Lauber says she never performed.Lauber also testified about a phone call with Kouri shortly after Eric's death, in which she says she told Kouri to please tell her the pills weren't for him. According to Lauber, Kouri calmly told her Eric had died from a brain aneurysm.On cross-examination, defense attorney Wendy Lewis went after Lauber's credibility from every angle — methamphetamine use during the period of the drug deals, inconsistent prior statements about whether the drugs were oxycodone or fentanyl, prior convictions, pending charges, and a failed drug court program. The defense played a recording from a 2023 investigator meeting in which Lauber was told to provide details that would ensure a conviction, and Lauber confirmed she said she'd do whatever it takes. Cross-examination was not completed and continues Friday.The morning session featured testimony from a forensic toxicologist confirming five times the lethal dose of illicit fentanyl in Eric's blood with no hydrocodone present, a crime lab scientist who found no fentanyl on 19 tested items, and testimony about phones belonging to Kouri's alleged boyfriend that were reported broken but later became functional.Kouri Richins has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent until proven otherwise.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Send a textAfter more than 300 episodes of conversations with engineers, founders, and technical leaders, certain patterns start to emerge. In this special retrospective episode of Being An Engineer, Aaron Moncur and Brad Hirayama flip the mic around to distill the biggest lessons learned from six years of interviews. Instead of focusing on any single quote or guest, they zoom out and identify the recurring themes that consistently show up in the careers of high-performing engineers. Surprisingly, none of the top takeaways are about mastering CAD tools or memorizing GD&T standards. They explore why understanding the business—not just the engineering—can dramatically accelerate your career. They unpack why soft skills and communication are non-negotiable if you want to move beyond being “just” a technical contributor. They discuss the transformational impact of mentors and coaches, and how simple habits like lunch conversations and honest feedback can change your trajectory. Aaron and Brad also dive into what it really means to “do more than you're paid for”—not by working longer hours, but by focusing on high-impact contributions that move the business forward. And they explain why establishing repeatable processes, checklists, and systems is one of the most overlooked drivers of engineering success. Finally, they introduce a new three-part mini-series on accelerating the speed of engineering, previewing practical tactics like hacking prototypes from off-the-shelf products and building psychological safety so teams surface problems early. If you want to grow faster, lead better, and think beyond the technical, this episode delivers a clear blueprint drawn from hundreds of real-world engineering stories. LINKS:https://www.linkedin.com/in/pipelinedesign/https://www.linkedin.com/in/bradhirayama/https://pipelinemedialab.beehiiv.com/https://teampipeline.us/Download the Essential Guide to Designing Test Fixtures: https://pipelinemedialab.beehiiv.com/test-fixture Subscribe to the show to get notified so you don't miss new episodes every Friday.The Being An Engineer podcast is brought to you by Pipeline Design & Engineering.

Conversions still beat new construction in a lot of markets right now, so I wanted to get specific on what Bruce Ford sees across the Americas pipeline. I talked with Bruce Ford (SVP, Lodging Econometrics) about where projects are moving, where they're stalling, and what owners/operators/investors should watch in Canada, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the U.S. for #NoVacancyNews. Here's what we cover:

Silicon Bites Ep293 | 2026-02-25 | Druzhba on Fire: Ukraine's drones, Orbán's veto, Fico's power cut — and Europe's energy solidarity stress-test. I love the smell of burning Russian oil in the morning – it smells, like… VICTORY! You may have seen the videos of the burning installation? Absolutely spectacular. A fireball in Tatarstan — more than a thousand kilometers from the Ukrainian border — and suddenly Hungary and Slovakia are threatening to hold up EU sanctions and attempting to take Ukraine's funding hostage (spoilers – they didn't succeed). This is the Druzhba pipeline crisis: drones, oil, electricity supplies and two EU capitals trying to turn Russia's outrageous aggression into their own political leverage. Druzhba means “friendship.” But 2026, it's unfriendly actions that are taking centre stage.----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.gofundme.com/f/scaling-up-campaign-to-fight-authoritarian-disinformation----------SOURCES:Reuters — Ukrainian drones hit Druzhba-linked pumping station in Tatarstan (23 Feb 2026).

In today's episode of the America's Work Force Union Podcast, we explore two critical fronts of the labor movement: proactive workforce development in the trades and the legal defense of bargaining unit integrity. Segment 1: Masonry's Next Generation in Central NY Daren Gulliver, Training Director for BAC Local 2, discusses a successful partnership with New York's Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES). Gulliver outlines how Local 2 is reaching students as early as age 17 to provide hands-on masonry fundamentals and clear pathways into registered apprenticeship programs. Key Insight: Why "bridge programs" and earlier recruitment are essential to combatting the skilled labor shortage while providing debt-free career stability. Segment 2: Protecting the Bargaining Unit from Technical Exclusions Kate Black, Field Director for AFSCME Council 65, breaks down a significant National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) unit clarification ruling involving Head Start teachers in Minnesota. Black explains how the employer used a "statutory supervisor" argument to narrow the bargaining unit and why this case serves as a warning for unions nationwide. Key Insight: How a single supervisory factor—effectively recommending discipline—can be used to strip workers of their union protections and what AFSCME is doing to prepare for future classification challenges.

Members of the U.S. Senate discuss gridlock on Capitol Hill on February 26, 2026. "We have kind of gotten to a really difficult and frustrating -- frustrating, as much as anything -- time in our process," Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska)s said in discussing why it seems to have taken a long time to gain passage of the Cape Fox Land Entitlement Finalization Act [H.R.2815]. "What is the holdup here? If everybody is supportive of this, why is it taking so long and proving so hard for Congress to agree on things?" Murkowski added. "I don't have a good answer on that. I am not sure that there is one," said Murkowski. SPEAKERS Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nevada) Sen. Alex Padilla (D-California)

Record-breaking EV milestones, the hidden dangers of fossil fuel crime, and a real-world test of what happens when a country bans new gas cars. In China, Nio pulled off an astonishing 175,000 battery swaps in a single day during the Lunar New Year travel rush — about two swaps every second — with drivers in and out in three to five minutes. It's a massive stress test that shows how battery swapping could compete with, or even outperform, traditional refueling for convenience and scale.

Starting at just $1 per month! We also examine how fuel theft in Mexico has evolved from small-time pipeline tapping into a billion-dollar criminal enterprise. Cartels now make enormous profits stealing oil and gas, and the consequences can be deadly. The 2019 pipeline explosion in Tlahuelilpan, which killed at least 137 people, remains one of the most tragic examples of how dangerous this underground economy can be. What began decades ago as localized "Robin Hood" style fuel theft has grown into an industrialized operation that in some regions rivals drug trafficking in profitability. Meanwhile, Ethiopia's 2024 ban on new combustion car sales is turning out to be less dramatic than critics predicted — and more effective. The move was driven largely by economics, as the country had been spending billions annually on refined fuel imports. With major hydropower expansion, including the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, Ethiopia now has excess clean electricity, growing EV adoption, and dramatically lower monthly fueling costs for drivers. Plus, South Dakota approves its largest wind farm yet, Waymo surpasses 200 million autonomous miles, France sets a new fusion runtime record, Tesla tops a French reliability study, and a pilot project proves portable solar panels can charge an EV in the sub-Arctic.

Public health is everywhere, but too often, people don't see it. In this episode, we explore how the field can build a stronger future by investing in the next generation of professionals and improving how it communicates its value to the public. Dr. Kimberly Wyche Etheridge, Senior Vice President of Health Initiatives at ASTHO discusses why workforce pathway programs, mentorship, and hands-on partnerships between universities and health departments are critical as experienced leaders retire and workforce gaps grow. She shares why more students are choosing public health, how practical experience helps bridge the gap between theory and real-world practice, and why retaining early-career professionals requires rethinking workplace culture. From creative funding strategies to proactive pipeline development, she makes the case that investing in people today is essential for protecting community health tomorrow. Then, Brian Castrucci, President and CEO of the  de Beaumont Foundation explains why, in a recent article, he argued public health must do a better job communicating its impact. He explores how partnerships across sectors, from business and education to faith communities, can strengthen support, and why consistency, speed, and alignment in messaging are more important than ever. We also discuss how digital creators and influencers are reshaping trust, why public health should meet audiences where they already are, and what it will take to build a clear, unified value proposition for the field.Journal of Public Health Management and PracticeSubscribe | ASTHO

In this week's episode of Faith for Normal People, Pete and Jared talk with theologian and ethicist Jared Stacy about the rise of conspiracy thinking, especially within American evangelicalism. Drawing on his research, Jared Stacy explains how conspiracy theories tap into fears of cultural decline, offer a sense of control, and become spiritually charged narratives about good and evil. He also explores opportunities for people to recognize these patterns and consider more grounded, truth-seeking ways of engaging faith and public life.

Build a Marketing "Vending Machine": A Predictable System for Leads & Clients Pat Rigsby explains the concept of creating a marketing "vending machine"—a predictable system where you invest in a front-end marketing process and reliably generate leads and clients. He outlines the steps: identify exactly who you want to serve and the problems/goals they have; determine where those people are so you can place your message in the highest-traffic locations (online or offline); create a simple, desire-based introductory asset (such as a book, guide, or lead magnet) followed by an experiential front-end offer, with a preference for free offers to reduce friction and get people through the door. Once you capture contact information, build a robust follow-up system to create brand awareness, familiarity, and know-like-trust, then present a clear offer focused on outcomes and the reasons people struggle to achieve or maintain results. He emphasizes delivering results, building deeper influence once clients are "under your roof," and moving them into an ongoing program. Pat encourages replacing episodic, tactic-by-tactic marketing with this consistent pipeline for stability, freedom, and wealth-building, and invites viewers to email pat@patrigsby.com for help through his Marketing Machine partner program. 00:00 Create Your Own Marketing "Vending Machine" (Intro) 00:10 The Origin Story: Dean Jackson's Vending Machine Concept 01:42 Step 1: Define Who You Serve & What They Want 03:09 Step 2: Put the Machine Where the People Are 04:19 Step 3: Build a Two-Step Intro Offer (Desire → Experience) 05:10 Why Free Front-End Offers Work (Getting Them Through the Door) 06:52 Follow-Up System: Know, Like, Trust on Autopilot 07:33 Convert to the Core Program: Deliver Outcomes & Retain Clients 09:04 Make It Predictable: Percentages, Pipeline, and Consistency 10:20 Wrap-Up + How to Get Help Building Your Marketing Machine
