Tired of hearing "let me think about it" after every proposal? In this episode, I break down why most tech consultants are stuck grinding on $3K projects while plumbers are one of the highest paid trades.

If you've been told you need better marketing, better positioning, or a tighter niche but nothing's moving the needle, the real issue might be simpler than you think.Resources and LinksApply for a Multiplier CallPrevious episode: 652 - Building a Top 3% HubSpot Partner Through Vertical Focus and Culture-First Leadership with Gemma PriceCheck out more episodes of the Paul Higgins PodcastSubscribe to our YouTube channel: @PaulHigginsMentoringJoin our newsletterSuggested resources

Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com launches with a powerful roundtable featuring Dr. Kelly Victory (https://www.rushtoreason.com/dr-kelly-victory-2), trauma and public-health expert, and Steve House, former health-care executive and longtime analyst. Together, they take listeners into a fast-moving, unfiltered look at free speech, medical censorship, and the disturbing global trends shaping public policy. Why did honest medical debate vanish during COVID? Why is the CDC now admitting gaps in vaccine-autism research after years of denial? And how far are today's Malthusian-minded leaders willing to go—climate mandates, 15-minute cities, population control agendas—to gain power over your daily life? The conversation goes deeper as Steve and Dr. Kelly expose a growing crisis of trust: a collapse in confidence in doctors, the media, the legal system, and government. What happens when truth becomes subjective, experts contradict each other, and critical thinking disappears? And what does it cost to stand against the narrative? Packed with raw honesty, firsthand experiences, and piercing questions, this hour asks listeners to decide: will you choose freedom over force… and can America recover before the window closes? HOUR 2 Hour 2 opens with a powerful, no-nonsense interview featuring Alvin Lui, President of Courage Is a Habit (https://courageisahabit.org), who exposes what he calls the real mission of today's public schools. Is K–12 education still focused on academics—or has it become a pipeline for social-justice indoctrination, emotional manipulation, and Marxist ideology disguised as “empathy” and “mental health”? Alvin breaks down how language contamination, restorative justice, and culturally responsive teaching reshape children's worldview by teaching them to rely on the government, not their parents. How do you protect your kids when teachers get the “best hours” of your child's day… and you only get the leftovers? Then the hour pivots to government overreach on a broader scale—from California's jaw-dropping proposal that could force teens up to age sixteen into booster seats, to new credit-card surcharge schemes that threaten to nickel-and-dime consumers into submission. Are these policies really about safety and business costs… or part of a growing trend where personal freedom shrinks and regulation expands? Packed with insight, candor, and urgency, this hour dares listeners to ask: How much control are we willing to give away—and who benefits when we do? HOUR 3 Hour 3 explodes out of the gate with Jersey Joe (https://www.youtube.com/@jerzeejoe3145) and John taking on one of the biggest battles of our time: truth vs. deception. What happens when people build their worldview on memes, bad data, and AI-generated political fakes that look and sound like the real thing? From Thomas Sowell's warnings about moral superiority to a deepfake Bernie Sanders quote that even Joe fell for, the hour raises a chilling question: how do you find truth in a world where lies are easier than ever to manufacture? Then the tone shifts to opportunity and grit, as Mike Rowe and NVIDIA's Jensen Huang predict that America's next millionaires won't come from Silicon Valley—they'll come from the trades. Plumbers, electricians, mechanics, and young entrepreneurs willing to take risks are building wealth the old-fashioned way: sweat, skill, and guts. But the hour doesn't stay calm for long. Joe and John rip through outrageous real-world stories—dangerous crime policies, ICE operations, exploding government costs, and EVs that fail spectacularly. Finally, Phil Kerpen, president of American Commitment (https://www.americancommitment.org), exposes the stunning truth about AARP and its billion-dollar ties to UnitedHealth. Is the nation's most famous “senior advocacy group” really advocating for seniors… or something far more lucrative? Hour Three is packed with facts, fire, and the kind of questions that make you rethink everything.

David Finley, the manager of the NECA chapter (National Electrical Contractors Association) in Oklahoma, joins Nic in the studio. David was the one who spurred Nic to launch his leadership training work.After working in the sugar industry in Hawaii, David moved to Oklahoma. In 2010, he took over both the Kansas and Oklahoma SMACNA (Sheet Metal Air Conditioning Contractors National Association) chapters. Today he is the only chapter manager who oversees all the trades: International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW), Sheet Metal Air Rail Transport (SMART), and United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters (UAPP).From his perch David sees the differences in the various trades: the massive shortage in labor as well as a shortage of good leaders who can manage teams to get jobs done.Together, Nic and David created the Oklahoma NECA Leadership Academy. They built a program for future leaders to see the value in assuming the role of a foreman or supervisor. In an environment where many say being a foreman or supervisor not worth the headache, Nic has identified how messaging the value of being a leader is the real opportunity.One thing for contractors David advises: “Don't get trapped in the old ways. There are so many opportunities out there that do not require a college degree.” He highlights how some of the big tech firms do not require a degree but today look for skills.If you enjoy Nic and Tarina's podcast and get something from listening to “all this Nic Bittle Crap,” please hit the like button, share it with a friend, or both.

Brantley Coile stumbled upon programing in the 70s when he enrolled in an elective Statistics and FORTRAN course as an undergrad at University of Georgia. His first program was written on punch cards, and once it ran there was no looking back: programming became his life's passion. After cutting his teeth in the tech industry as a systems developer, he invented Network Address Translation and created the PIX Firewall technologies that were acquired by Cisco Systems in 1995. He went on to invent the ATA-over-Ethernet Protocol in 2002, a lightweight method of network storage. It was this invention that led to his founding Coraid, Inc., for which he served as CTO until 2013. In 2014 he founded SouthSuite, Inc., a software-only storage company working to advance AoE for implementation in the modern data center with all its cloud storage needs. SouthSuite will continue to advance AoE technology using its Coraid-branded storage software appliance. == The Computer Science Department at Bob Jones University hosted the inaugural lecture of the SermonAudio Technology Lecture Series on April 18 at 7 pm. The SermonAudio Technology Lecture Series features informative and educational presentations focusing on the latest advancements and trends in technology utilized by the SermonAudio platform. For this lecture, Brantley Coile spoke on the topic "Plumbers, Preachers, and Programmers." Among his accomplishments, Brantley holds the fundamental patent on the Network Address Translation (NAT) protocol. He also invented the first firewall and load balancer for CISCO.

In this episode of the Fleet Success Show, Josh Turley and Marc Canton break down the real reasons behind the fleet technician shortage. Spoiler: it's not just about pay, and it's not just about competition with dealerships anymore. Today, fleets are fighting a war on two fronts—against white-collar careers and blue-collar trades that offer higher pay, lower complexity, and better mobility.Josh and Marc explore:Why techs are avoiding the automotive space and opting for HVAC, electrical, and plumbing.The psychology of Gen Z (aka the Toolbelt Generation).How lack of exposure and outdated compensation models are killing technician pipelines.The missed recruiting opportunities fleets ignore at trade schools and even 4-year universities.You'll also learn how to rethink recruiting, reposition your fleet, and make technician roles more appealing—without waiting for "the industry" to save you.  Key TakeawaysThe technician shortage is not unique to fleet—dealerships and private shops are hurting, too.Gen Z is entering the trades, just not yours. Plumbers, HVAC techs, and electricians are winning the war for talent.Fleets struggle to recruit because they don't market themselves well and they lack a clear career path for techs.Dealerships have visibility and recruiting power. Fleets often hide behind HR processes and outdated comp studies.Competing requires intentional culture, real wage strategy, and recruiting at high schools and community colleges.Fleet managers must think like marketers—position your brand, tell a compelling story, and offer a growth path.  Speaker BiosJosh TurleyCEO of RTA, Josh brings a practical, strategic mindset to modern fleet challenges. With deep industry experience and a passion for technician development, he champions data-driven fleet management and sustainable recruiting.Marc CantonFleet consultant and workforce strategist, Marc works with fleets to improve operational efficiency and tackle workforce shortages head-on. A master storyteller, Marc connects cultural trends with actionable steps for fleet leaders.

Still believe there aren't any good plumbers out there? That myth is costing you time, money, and freedom. In this episode, we show you how to attract the right people—plumbers who want security and a future—not just a paycheck. Then we tackle the real issue: you. If you're still stuck thinking no one can do it as well as you, you're the bottleneck. Systemize your business, lead like an owner, and let your team do the damn job. And if you want to build a real business, not just stay stuck on the truck, you've got to adopt an “always hiring” mindset and stack your bench with talent. Watch now and start building the team your business—and your life—deserve.

Solar and wind power are outpacing coal for the first time globally. However, the US faces challenges in meeting clean energy goals due to material shortages, a lack of skilled workers, and political roadblocks. Sign up now for Uptime Tech News, our weekly email update on all things wind technology. This episode is sponsored by Weather Guard Lightning Tech. Learn more about Weather Guard's StrikeTape Wind Turbine LPS retrofit. Follow the show on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Linkedin and visit Weather Guard on the web. And subscribe to Rosemary Barnes' YouTube channel here. Have a question we can answer on the show? Email us! Something remarkable happened this year. For the first time in history, renewable energy generated more power than coal worldwide. Solar grew thirty-one percent in just six months. Wind and solar together outpaced electricity demand. China built more clean energy in half a year than the rest of the world combined. India's renewable growth beat demand. Their fossil fuel use dropped. Why? Simple economics. Wind and solar are now the cheapest sources of electricity. But here in America, we have a problem. Johns Hopkins researchers just discovered we'll fall thirty-four percent short of our clean energy goals by twenty fifty. Not because renewables cost too much. Because we don't have the materials to build them. Nickel. Silicon. Rare earth elements with names like neodymium and dysprosium. China controls ninety percent of the processing. And last week, they announced export controls. Meanwhile, in Britain... They're creating four hundred thousand clean energy jobs by twenty thirty. Plumbers. Electricians. Welders. Building wind farms. Installing solar panels. Running smart grids. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband put it simply: "Where are the good jobs of the future going to come from? This is the answer." The Sizewell C nuclear plant alone needs ten thousand workers. But here's the rub - they need to triple their welders, double their plumbers. The workers don't exist yet. Down in North Carolina... Duke Energy just announced a new plan. They're delaying wind projects. Extending coal plants. Not because coal is cheaper - it isn't. But because artificial intelligence and data centers are driving electricity demand eight times faster than expected. Glen Snider from Duke says they need reliability while demand surges. The irony? Duke's moving away from the cheapest new sources of power - wind and solar - just when they need the most electricity. They're choosing to extend expensive coal plants that cost more to run. Australia sees opportunity... Treasurer Jim Chalmers is in New York meeting with Blackstone and Wall Street. Australia has lithium, manganese, rare earths. They claim they can deliver the world's lowest-cost renewable electricity by twenty fifty. "Australia has exactly what the world needs, when the world needs it," Chalmers says. Think about this... The technology works. Solar and wind are cheaper than coal. Batteries can store the power. Countries using these technologies are seeing their energy costs drop. But America faces three bottlenecks: First, we don't control the materials. Second, we don't have the skilled workers. Third, states like North Carolina are choosing reliability over cost savings. President Trump calls renewables "a joke." But JP Morgan says something different. They say America will have to use renewable energy whether we like it or not. Nuclear takes too long to build. Fossil fuels cost too much. The numbers tell the story... Britain: Four hundred thousand new jobs. America: Seven hundred thirty gigawatts short of materials. North Carolina: Eight times the demand growth. Global renewables: Cheaper than coal for the first time. We're watching the free market work. The cheapest energy is winning worldwide. Except in places where politics and supply chains get in the way.

Albert Einstein once said he'd rather have been a plumber. Here in KC Plumbers Local 8 has a new leader - Matt Harris. He'll be on the Heartland Labor Forum this week. Then, Donna Birks rose through the ranks to become financial secretary of UAW Local 31 at the GM Fairfax plant, then led the Tri-County Labor Council and now in retirement is heading Labor's Educational and Political Club Independent. We'll talk to both Matt and Donna. Our feature is Labor Song of the Month with Mark Galus.

Consider The Downstream Effects - Mike CohnHave you ever looked at the pipes under a bathroom or kitchen sink?If you do, you'll notice that the pipe doesn't run straight from the sink to the wall. Instead the pipe from the drain goes down farther than necessary, curves right back up and then heads into the wall.This little extra bit of pipe that goes down farther than necessary and u-turns back up is called a P-trap. That's because it looks like a P turned on this side.Why do plumbers install P-traps? They must cost more to manufacture, so it increases their costs, which they may or may not be able to pass on to customers. They're a little harder to install, so they cost the plumber time, too.So, why? Plumbers install P-traps because they prevent downstream problems. A P-trap under your sink traps gases that would otherwise rise back into the house. They also catch small items that fall down the drain.And good plumbers care about this even though they know they may not be the plumber to return to fix the problem.Good plumbers care because they're good plumbers. Installing a P-trap under your sink is simply the right thing to do because it prevents downstream problems. We want agile team members who behave the same way. Good agile team members care–not just about their own work but also about the work of everyone downstream of them. OK. Back to the example. A while back, I helped a team incorporate more automated testing into their work. Some programmers, who viewed their job as nothing more than writing what they considered good code, balked at the idea of altering their code to make future testing easier. Code testability, they argued, was not their problem; it was the testers' problem.The situation came to a head during a sprint planning meeting, when the testers were giving some really large estimates for testing code that was going to take only a fraction of that amount of time to program.The programmers were asked if they could do anything to make the code easier to test. And it turned out there were some things they could do, but some of the programmers didn't want to do them because they felt it would make their code less elegant.They had defined their jobs as merely writing good code. Who cared if that code was hard to test?Why Do Something If It's Harder?Act Like a Good PlumberI'm going to give you an example of why this matters, but first, I need a favor. Would you take this short AI survey?We want to learn more about how Agile teams are using (or thinking about using) AI in their work. Your input will help us better understand current practices, opportunities, and challenges—and we'll be sharing the results with the community.Take the survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ZJY2SXY“They had defined their jobs as merely writing good code. Who cared if that code was hard to test?”If my plumber had done that, I would have had a fully functional sink, perhaps for years. But eventually enough debris would have made it past where a P-trap should have been installed and deep into my plumbing. This would have led to an expensive--and easily avoidable--repair.When team members accept responsibility for issues caused downstream of their work, that team can begin to grow from good to great.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] https://www.agiledad.com/- [instagram] https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/- [facebook] https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/- [Linkedin] https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

If you've ever believed that just because something's sold at a big box store it's safe or effective, then prepare to have your mind blown (or more accurately, your misconceptions dismantled) by Eric G. in this episode of Around the House! Eric has curated a list of the top ten home improvement myths that will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about fixing up your abode. The first myth Eric tackles is the classic idea that products found in home centers meet all building codes. Spoiler alert: they often do not! With his trademark sarcasm, Eric warns us about those vent hoods that recirculate air like a bad sitcom rerun. But wait, there's more! As we continue our journey through this myth-busting list, Eric hilariously points out the irony of trusting advice from self-proclaimed DIY experts who haven't seen a doctor in decades. And just when you thought you could trust your uncle's plumbing skills, Eric dives into the murky waters of contractor rates, unpacking the costs that go into hiring a professional. He shines a light on the reality that many skilled tradespeople charge a pretty penny not because they want to rip you off, but because of the real costs associated with running a small business—think insurance, tools, and that ever-elusive ‘cost of living'. It's refreshing to hear Eric break down these costs while keeping the tone light and entertaining. To wrap up the episode, Eric brings us back to earth with a look at online shopping for home improvement needs. Sure, it can save you money, but it also might leave you with a knockoff faucet that's more trouble than it's worth. With a blend of laughter and practical advice, this episode makes it clear that while myths can be fun to debunk, the truth can save you a lot of headaches (and cash) in your home improvement adventures. So grab your tools, put on your thinking cap, and get ready to tackle your next project with Eric's sage advice!Takeaways: Just because you can buy something at a home center doesn't mean it's code compliant, folks. Ignoring asbestos is like playing with fire, but hey, who needs lung health anyway? Plumbers and electricians aren't just robbing you blind; their rates are due to legit costs, not highway robbery. Online deals might save you money, but remember: if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
