AI is no longer just automation or chatbots. It's becoming a real employee for service businesses. In this episode of Service Business Mastery, recorded live at AHR Expo 2026, Tersh Blissett sits down with Dennis Steele, co-founder of Podium, to talk about the rise of AI agents and how they're transforming HVAC and plumbing companies. From answering calls and booking jobs to handling angry customers and following up on estimates, AI agents are beginning to perform real work that previously required multiple team members. Dennis shares how Podium started by helping contractors get more Google reviews, how the platform evolved into a full communication system for trades, and why the new generation of AI agents can now handle complex tasks across phone calls, text messages, scheduling, and CRM data. They also discuss real-world examples of AI agents turning angry drivers into paying customers, managing after-hours calls, and helping companies scale without burning out their staff. If you're wondering whether AI will replace people or simply help service businesses run smarter and more efficiently, this episode breaks down what's actually happening right now.

Today I'm joined by Mo Zahabi, AVP of Product Consulting at Cox Automotive. Most dealers think the race begins when the lead arrives. But by that point, the customer has often been in-market for five or six weeks already. Mo breaks down how first-party data inside the Cox Automotive ecosystem can reveal buying signals before a lead ever exists, why fragmented dealership tech stacks create wasted effort and employee turnover, and how dealers can modernize customer engagement by focusing on real behavior instead of outdated tactics.

In this episode of Stories from the River, Charlie Malouf, CEO, welcomes Stacey McCormick, EVP, Retail Performance, to reflect on the impact of the recent VIP Summit, an event designed to unlock the potential of consumer financing across Broad River Retail. Sparked by strategic conversations during a quarterly business review with Synchrony Financial, the summit brought nearly 400 Memory Makers together for three days of focused learning. Through six curated breakout sessions, partners and Broad River leaders shared practical strategies around prequalification with Versatile, Synchrony's 60-month no-interest financing, credit line optimization, near-prime and lease-to-own solutions, and tools like Podium to drive repeat engagement. Stacey also discusses the momentum following the summit and how the team is translating insights into measurable results. From navigating unexpected snowstorms that disrupted store traffic to launching the Forge Forward challenge tied to key financing metrics, the focus remains on helping Memory Makers move beyond applications to grow the overall finance percent of business. With improved dashboards, surveys, and ongoing coaching, the effort reinforces a simple but powerful strategy: empower Memory Makers with knowledge, give guests flexible options, and play the long game with financing to drive sustainable growth.

In this episode of Trail Runner Nation's Aging as an Athlete series, along with Krissy Moehl, we welcome elite ultrarunner and therapist Darcy Piceu for a thoughtful conversation about longevity in endurance sports. Drawing on more than two decades of racing at the highest level, Darcy explains that there is no "magic pill" for staying in the sport long term, emphasizing instead the importance of self-care, strength work, listening to the body, and adapting training as athletes age. The discussion explores the mental side of endurance, including acceptance of changing performance, learning to manage negative thoughts during long races, and developing the wisdom that comes from decades of experience. Darcy also shares how mindfulness and time in nature play a powerful role in both mental health and athletic performance, something she incorporates into her therapy practice. We reflect on the evolving identity of an athlete over time, balancing competitiveness with enjoyment, family life, and other pursuits beyond running. We highlight that staying in the sport for decades is less about chasing podiums and more about cultivating resilience, perspective, and a lasting love for the trail.

Today I'm joined by Paul Nadjarian, Chief Product Officer at Carfax. We break down why the smartest dealers are shifting from one-time gross to lifetime value, how vehicle history data closes the trust gap with consumers, and why “homegrown” inventory is becoming the most profitable used-car strategy. Paul also explains how automation and consumer signals are quietly driving higher service retention and better acquisition decisions without adding dealer workload.

Rob Jetten is groen als gras als premier, maar oogde tijdens zijn allereerste debat soms als éminence grise. Dat kwam óók door hulp uit onverwachte hoek. Een oud-PVV’er én een streng-christelijk Kamerlid zorgden ervoor dat de progressieve premier een valse start kon ontlopen. Het controversiële AOW-plan moet wel op de schop. Maar hoe stevig zit dit kabinet, nu het Malieveld al wordt gereserveerd voor groot protest? Wie ontpoppen zich tot helpers van de nieuwe coalitie, wie tot saboteurs? En: wat is er aan de hand in de top van de BBB, de partij die nog maar een paar jaar geleden opkwam als een komeet maar nu inzakt als een pudding.

Inside a Quiet Combine Day for the Lions Jeff Risdon checked in live from Indianapolis on the Detroit Lions Podcast. Thursday at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine brings the first on-field work across the street. Wednesday was lighter. For the Detroit Lions, it was mostly defensive podium sessions. Useful, but limited. You learn how prospects communicate. You hear how they talk football. You watch poise and clarity. You do not get many hard answers. What Detroit Looks For in Combine Meetings The NFL churns on the question, did you meet with the Lions? It is a weak tell. Teams meet for different reasons. The Detroit Lions use those rooms to learn the person. Competitiveness. Ability to be coached. How a player meshes with coaches. The whiteboard matters, but less than with some clubs that grill pure X's and O's. Others will demand a defensive tackle recite gap fits from a specific snap. Detroit more often probes mindset and fit. Do not overread formal versus informal. Kirby Joseph had only an informal visit at the Combine and left thinking the Lions were not all that interested. He became a Detroit Lion anyway. There is also a player from this regime who was drafted with no Combine meeting at all. On the flip side, a prospect two drafts ago helped himself with a strong interview. The door swings both ways. Timing matters too. Podium appearances happen before many meetings. Prospects stay in town through workouts. A player who says he has not met Detroit yet on Wednesday might sit down with them Thursday night. Keep that context in mind when the meeting lists hit social media. Kelvin Shepherd's HC Interview Was Real One media session cut through the noise. The Dolphins GM discussed their head coach search after moving on from Mike McDaniel. Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Shepherd interviewed for that job. Some dismissed it as a box-check. The GM made it clear Shepherd was a serious candidate. That resonates in Indianapolis. It reflects how league decision-makers view Detroit's staff after back-to-back ascents. It also underscores why interviews at this NFL event are about people as much as plays. There is broader chatter. Miami's situation drew side-eye. Questions linger about Tua. There was even speculation about who will play quarterback for the New York Jets. Kyler Murray's name came up. It is not a great year to need a quarterback. None of that changes Detroit's plan this week. Watch. Learn. Separate signal from noise. The Combine is about stacking small edges. The Lions are sticking to it. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #nflscoutingcombine #indianapolis #podiuminterviews #formalmeeting #informalvisit #whiteboardx'sando's #defensivetackle #abilitytobecoached #kirbyjoseph #dolphinsgm #mikemcdaniel #tua #kylermurray #newyorkjetsquarterback #kelvinshepherdheadcoachinterview Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to the Monday Minute, brought to you by our friends at Podium. The Monday Minute is your weekly reset to help you lead better, think clearer, and build your dealership with intention.Goal setting is the bridge between intention and execution. Without clear, measurable goals, your team drifts—chasing every shiny object instead of focusing on what really matters. In this episode, we break down how to set dealership goals that support your mission, create accountability, and drive real results.WHAT WE COVER:Why vague goals like "sell more cars" or "get better reviews" kill momentumThe power of specific, measurable goals (10 more units this month, 4.8-star rating)Short-term wins vs. long-term vision: How to balance both in your dealershipSetting 6-month goals that prove progress (sales targets, online reviews, financing process, follow-up systems)Defining your 3-5 year vision: more locations, digital sales, work-life balanceThe tracking systems that work: whiteboards, spreadsheets, and dashboardsWhy you adjust the PROCESS, not the goal (and how to do it monthly)ACTION STEPS THIS WEEK:Set one short-term goal - Pick something specific for the next 6 months (measurable and tied to your mission)Define your long-term vision - Where do you want your dealership in 3-5 years? Write it downOutline the steps - What specific actions will get you there?Build your tracking system - Whiteboard, spreadsheet, or dashboard—pick what keeps goals visible dailySchedule monthly reviews - Track what's working, what's not, and adjust your processClarity creates accountability. Strong dealerships don't drift—they set goals, track progress, refine processes, and train their teams until they hit the target. This week, let's turn your intentions into execution.Be sure to review this week's Sunday newsletter at theindependentdealer.com, where the full theme and exercises are laid out to help you work through this with your team.

Feel the chill of the Winter Games—and the heat of the lab—where medals are measured in milliseconds and built on decades of design. We pull back the curtain on the quiet inventions that make elite sport possible, from fluid-dynamic swimsuits to carbon-plated marathon shoes, from the hinged brilliance of the clapskate to the high-speed vision of tracking and timing systems. The story isn't scandal; it's structure. We trace how ideas move from a whiteboard to the world stage through patents that document methods, invite competition, and help set the boundaries that keep sport both fair and thrilling.We start in the pool, where bonded seams, compression maps, and hydrodynamic panels turned “just a suit” into a system—and where rule updates redirected, not punished, progress. On the roads, we break down the mechanics of energy return: foam that rebounds, plates that guide, and filings that map curvature and geometry so rivals can design smarter. On the ice, the clapskate's heel hinge extends blade contact and power transfer, proving that tiny mechanical shifts can reshape an entire discipline when paired with rigorous disclosure and iteration.Fairness gets its own engineering arc. High-speed cameras, calibrated sensors, and photo finish systems transform human limits of perception into trustworthy data. Companies refine optics, synchronization, and algorithms, then publish their methods through patents—fuel for a healthier ecosystem where accuracy becomes a form of respect. Along the way, we share five clear takeaways: innovation is part of sport; patents structure progress; rules and tech evolve together; precision builds trust; and small structural changes can move mountains.If you love sport and love ideas, hit play, share with a friend who obsesses over gear and split times, and leave a review to help more curious listeners find us.Send a textCheck out "Protection for the Inventive Mind" – available now on Amazon in print and Kindle formats.

Leute, diesmal melden wir uns live vom letzten Karnevalswagen der Liga, schmeißen Kamelle aus Beton und klären, ein für alle Mal, den Unterschied zwischen Rede und reden, zwischen Bürde und Bütte, zwischen Kult und Kultur. Weil ganz vorne ein Trainer sitzt, der eine Sprache gefunden hat, die gleichzeitig entwaffnet und umarmt. In einer Erzählung, die persönlich ist und gerade deshalb global, die Grenzen zieht und trotzdem Türen offen lässt. Und ihm schon jetzt einen Platz in der Ahnengalerie des FC Bayern sichert, weil sie nicht nur über den Sport hinaus klingt, sondern auch größer ist als der Verein, auf dessen Podium er sprach. Und weil ganz hinten, Gegenschnittlauch, wieder mehr Bock als Gärtner, ein anderer die Stille nicht ertragen konnte, hinein dröhnen musste in den Anstand und die Empathie. Ein Poltergeist, vom Abstiegsgespenst getrieben, der sich so gern als Stefan Baumgart verkleidet. Laut und vulgär, Schweineminute. Dabei hätte er sich doch auch einfach nur freuen können, still und heimlich über seinen Effzeh. Und einen Stürmer, der vier Tage nach Aschermittwoch als Klaus Fischer verkleidet die Schwerkraft verhöhnte. Ragnar Ache, vielleicht das Tor des Jahres. Sehr wahrscheinlich aber Kwasnioks einzige Transferleistung. Das waren sie ja, die großen Geschichten. Und wer jetzt noch wissen möchte, was dazwischen passierte, mit Blatter und Infantino, mit Trump und Gaza, mit Maik und dem nigerianischen Prinzen, dem legen wir ans Herz, doch bitte die ganze Übertragung zu hören, ehe Ansgar Brinkmann den verbalen Vorhang fallen lässt, als große Klammer, als passende Umarmung, zwischen schwarzen und weißen Brasilianern. Bis dahin verbleiben wir mit dem Schlusssatz einer denkwürdigen PK und sagen: Danke, Vinnie!

Welcome to the Monday Minute, brought to you by our friends at Podium. The Monday Minute is your weekly reset to help you lead better, think clearer, and build your dealership with intention.Your core values shouldn't just be words on a poster—they should guide how your team shows up when deals get tight, customers get frustrated, and decisions cost you in the short term. In this episode, we break down how to define core values for your car dealership that actually shape your culture and customer experience.WHAT WE COVER:Why most dealership core values fail (and how to make yours stick)The personal reflection every dealer owner must do: What matters most to YOU?How to narrow down your values to the critical three (if everything's a priority, nothing is)Real scenarios to test your values: flat tires, challenging credit, and daily interactionsThe difference between policies and principles—and why values must be lived, not listedBuilding team alignment so "What Would [Your Name] Do?" becomes second natureACTION STEPS THIS WEEK:Brainstorm your values - Write down everything that comes to mind: honesty, transparency, community, reliability, quality, customer serviceNarrow to three - Pick the core principles that have actually helped you succeed (and saved you when things went wrong)Define applications - For each value, describe what it looks like in action at your dealershipTest scenarios - Walk through real situations with your team to ensure values guide decisions, not just sound goodThis isn't about creating wall art. It's about building standards that guide every customer interaction, even when no one's watching. Core values give your team clarity on how to make the right call—every single time.Be sure to review this week's Sunday newsletter at TheIndependentDealer.com, where the full theme and exercises are laid out to help you work through this with your team.

In this week's episode David and Ian discuss the S&P remaining range-bound, differentiation between S&P 500 performance and the average performance of it's constituents. They also discuss market breadth, sentiment, the continued drawdown in software, how homebuilders are starting to look interesting along with transportation stocks even with the rough week for trucking stocks. They also discuss seasonality moving into the second half of February, interest rates and what a move lower in rates might mean for the broader market. 

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP   Guys, get yourselves ready, this is a banger of an ep. I got to sit down with the man himself, the Sweendog. The 16 Wheeler. Sweet 16. Harry Sweeny He's one of the strongest riders in the pelo right now. They don't call him ‘The Truck' for nothing.   I spoke to Harry in person over in Adelaide at this year's Tour Down Under and picked his brains about everything from his journey into the sport, his transition from Lotto to EF Education Easypost, how his neurodiversity makes him a better bike racer, and heaps more.    Harry's a super interesting guy. He's a consummate professional and leaves no stone unturned in his hunt for being the best athlete he can be. Hearing Sweendog talk through how he prepares for every single race, and the level of detail with which he plans every gel, every corner, every meter of road covered really opened my eyes as to how hard he works.   Up until this point, Harry's cut his teeth in the bunch riding as a domestique; turning himself inside out for team mates to great success - pulling guys like Ben Healy to monument podiums and the Yellow Jersey at the Tour de France. But, after a conversation with his team boss Jonathan Vaughters, Harry's finding the confidence to ride for himself and show how strong he can be. As JV put it, ‘being 10% more of an arsehole'.   Not long after we recorded, Harry's efforts were rewarded with an absolutely stellar podium finish at the Tour Down Under - his first World Tour GC Podium. It's a fantastic result, and - I think - marks a real shift in focus; he knows he's got the engine to go toe-to-toe with the big guys, and now he's proved it out there on the road.    I loved chatting to Harry, and I hope you guys enjoy listening to one of the most hard working, enthusiastic pros out there.    Prefer to watch along?
