His focus on profitability, leadership, and people development has helped shop owners across the country regain control of their businesses, their time, and their confidence.In this episode…What happens when everyday challenges in the tire and auto repair world start to feel overwhelming? According to Tony O'Billovich, the key to taking back control isn't working harder, it's learning to lead smarter.From raising labor rates without fear to building systems that reduce stress, Tony shares practical lessons that help shop owners stop feeling like their business is running them. He explains how profitability isn't something to feel guilty about, but a powerful tool to invest in employees, improve customer trust, and grow stronger teams.The conversation also dives into the importance of leadership and delegation. By training staff and empowering them to take on responsibility, shop owners can step back from micromanaging and focus on growth. For many, this shift leads to working less, earning more, and building businesses that thrive long-term.Finally, Tony highlights how community and collaboration play a role in success. Through Point S and its cooperative model, shop owners find mentorship, support, and the ability to grow while preserving the legacies they've worked so hard to build.Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn: [02:04] How Tony entered the tire and auto repair industry and scaled multiple locations[03:06] What Point S is and how its co-op model empowers independent shop owners[05:18] The story of a daughter who took over her father's shop and found success[07:01] The biggest challenges Tony sees when walking into struggling stores[08:27] Why shop owners hesitate to raise prices — and what really happens when they do[11:26] How courtesy inspections improve customer trust and educate clients[13:52] Why positioning as a one-stop shop makes life easier for both customers and owners[15:33] What makes Point S unique as a brand and why members describe it as “family”[17:41] How the “555” growth plan is shaping the future of Point S across the U.S.[19:28] The new mentor program for shop owners and how it supports growth[20:53] Tony's coaching style and how he helps owners regain confidence[22:20] Why delegating and training employees leads to working less and earning more[24:30] Tony's personal motto: “Polite, honest, direct” and why clarity matters in leadershipResources mentioned in this episode:Point S Tire WebsiteTread PartnersMike Edge on LinkedInGain Traction Podcast on YouTubeGain Traction PodcastQuotable Moments:“Profitability is a healthy thing, it allows you to reinvest in your people and your business.”“If you raise your labor rate, chances are customers won't even notice but your business will thrive.”“Clarity is charity. Be polite, be honest, and be direct.”“When you grow your people, your life as a shop owner gets easier.”“The most successful shops aren't run by micromanagers, they're led by owners who trust and train their teams.”Action Steps:Reevaluate your pricing: Are you competitively priced in your market?

Mom and Dad head to a dinner party, leaving an 11-year-old, her best friend, and an arthritic terrier to polish off popcorn and late-night movies in the basement. Nothing unusual—until the dog erupts into frantic barking and, an hour later, the girls emerge to find the solid-oak front door flung wide open, the house untouched, and a single corner of Mom's pristine bedspread mysteriously folded down. No wind, no footprints, no missing jewelry—just a freshly chilled living room and two kids too scared to dial 911. Was it a burglar with obsessive-compulsive tendencies…or a polite poltergeist who prefers doors over walls?

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Chuck Peter from Roseville, MN. Thank you for standing with us throughout Project 23. You're helping people move from the appearance of faith to the fruit of it. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 11:12-14: On the following day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry. And seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if he could find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. And he said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard it. — Mark 11:12-14 At first glance, this seems like one of the most confusing moments in the Gospels. Jesus is hungry. He sees a fig tree full of leaves, promising the possibility of fruit. But when he gets close, there's nothing. So he curses it. Why? Because it looked fruitful from a distance, but had nothing to offer up close. This wasn't just about a tree. It was a parable in real time. An enacted warning. Jesus was making a point about empty religion. You see, the fig tree had the appearance of being healthy and vital. But no fruit. Just like the temple he was about to walk into. The temple was full of religious activity, rituals, and noise, but no repentance. No faith. No spiritual nourishment. It was all leaves, no fruit. Jesus sees through the façade. And he still does. From a distance, your life could look spiritual. Church attendance. Polite behavior. Christian language. Even Bible reading. But up close and intimate, does your life bear real fruit? Jesus doesn't curse the fig tree out of irritation. He curses it to make a statement. He's not fooled by appearances. Neither is he interested in performance that has no power behind it. So, stop focusing on looking spiritual. Start cultivating what actually matters—humility, repentance, love, truth, obedience, surrender. Because Jesus doesn't just want your leaves. He wants your life. And he wants it to be full of fruit. #RealFaith, #SpiritualFruit, #Mark11 ASK THIS: Why did Jesus curse the fig tree? What's the danger of outward appearances without spiritual depth? Where in your life are you tempted to “fake” fruit? What does real spiritual fruit look like for you this season? DO THIS: Ask someone who knows you well: “What kind of fruit do you see in my life?” And really listen. PRAY THIS: Jesus, I don't want to just look the part. I want to bear real fruit. Expose anything in me that's all appearance and no substance. Amen. PLAY THIS: “Clear the Stage” by Jimmy Needham.

It is July 7th and this is: Nakashima Nightly. I'm your host, Dan Burkett, bringing you the latest and greatest about ATP superstar Brandon Nakashima. Tonight, we're recapping Wimbledon. Ladies and gentlemen, tennis aficionados and casual Centre Court snackers alike, gather 'round for the tale of Brandon Nakashima's charmingly clinical, statistically stunning, and unexpectedly spicy run at Wimbledon 2025—a performance that left fans grinning, commentators reaching for new adjectives, and opponents...well, mostly reaching for towels.Let's set the scene: it's 2025, the grass is freshly trimmed, the strawberries are overpriced, and Brandon Nakashima strolls into Wimbledon like your calm, unbothered friend who somehow always finds parking. Ranked just outside the top-tier headlines but firmly inside the “don't sleep on him” club, Nakashima arrived with quiet confidence, clean groundstrokes, and a serve so effective it should probably be taxed.Now, about that serve. Forty-nine aces. That's right. Forty-nine. That's not a stat, that's a flex. The man served up more aces than a Las Vegas poker table. And with only 4 double faults? That's practically monk-like discipline. Somewhere, John Isner nodded in solemn approval.Brandon landed 72% of his first serves in—basically turning each service game into a polite but firm announcement: “Hi, I'll be holding serve now.” And when he did? He won 77% of those points. Seventy-seven! At that point, his serve was less a weapon and more a Wimbledon-certified public utility.But let's not ignore his second serve—where many players flirt with disaster, Brandon was dating efficiency. He won 60% of second serve points, which is like saying, “Even on my backup plan, I'm still better than most of your first ideas.”And it wasn't all serve and no spice. Nakashima broke serve 10 times over the fortnight—proving that he wasn't just a one-trick pony. He was also a sly little thief, sneaking return games when opponents least expected it, like a tennis-playing ninja in Uniqlo.Now, while the British crowd loves their big names and royals-in-the-royal-box cameos, by the second week, Centre Court was whispering one name over tea and crumpets: Nakashima. He didn't just win matches—he conducted them, like a symphony of clean technique, calm demeanor, and the occasional “did he just paint the line again?” shot that left everyone in a mild state of disbelief.Opponents described him as “annoyingly consistent,” “robotically precise,” and “way too nice to beat me this badly.” Brandon, ever the gentleman, would simply give a humble nod, pack his bag, and move on like he hadn't just dismantled someone's Wimbledon dream with surgical forehands and a serve that could knock a pigeon off the scoreboard.Did he win the title? Well, not quite. But he went deep. Like, “call the hotel, we're staying another week” deep. And more importantly, he won over fans with his stoic swagger, effortless shot-making, and charmingly understated post-match interviews. Somewhere between the ace count and the unforced error avoidance, Brandon Nakashima became Wimbledon's most polite menace.So as the final grass clippings settled and the applause faded, one thing was clear: Brandon Nakashima didn't just have a run at Wimbledon—he glided. And next year? Well, let's just say...Centre Court better start reserving his spot early.

When we say "please" or "thank you" to ChatGPT, we're witnessing the remarkable power of human social psychology in action. Our brains have developed such deeply ingrained social scripts over millions of years that they automatically activate whenever we encounter conversational situations—even with machines. Through social scripts, attribution theory, and automatic processing, we treat AI interactions just like human conversations, complete with politeness and courtesy. This isn't a flaw or embarrassing quirk; it's actually a testament to how fundamentally social we are as humans. Our ancient social instincts are so robust that they extend even to artificial entities that can't reciprocate our politeness. Rather than making us naive about technology, maintaining these social habits with AI might actually help preserve our humanity and social skills in an increasingly digital world, showing that even as technology advances, our evolved cooperative nature remains beautifully consistent.
This episode of the Allyship in Action Podcast with Julie Kratz features Charlene Polite Corley, Nielsen's VP of Diverse Insights and Partnerships, and Stacie De Armas, Senior Vice President of Diverse Intelligence & Initiatives at Nielsen. Together we discuss the long-term value of diversity for businesses, emphasizing that engaging historically excluded consumers is crucial for growth and brand loyalty. Stacie and Charlene highlight that while people can be "trickier" than money, diversifying your workforce and your approach to consumers is as important as diversifying your financial portfolio. Some key takeaways from this conversation: Diversity is a significant driver of business growth and ROI: Engaging with historically excluded consumer groups is essential for long-term business growth as they represent untapped markets and offer greater potential for building brand loyalty and achieving higher returns on marketing investment. Understanding nuanced cultural and consumption habits is crucial for effective marketing: A "copy-paste" approach to marketing is ineffective. Brands need to develop a deeper understanding of the media consumption habits and cultural nuances of diverse audiences to connect authentically and build lasting relationships. Data shows, for example, that Black, Hispanic, and Asian audiences spend significantly more time online. Centering diverse narratives benefits everyone and creates broader cultural impact: Focusing on representing specific communities authentically in content and advertising doesn't exclude other groups. Instead, it provides "windows" into different experiences, enriching everyone's understanding and often leading to broader cultural trends and significant financial success, as seen in sports and film. Actionable Allyship Takeaway: Organizations and individuals should actively lean into fear and commit to an inclusive data strategy, continually seeking to understand and meet diverse consumers where they are, knowing that it's both the right thing to do and a smart business decision that drives growth and loyalty, regardless of external pressures.

It's Witness Wednesday! Todd Friel is at Georgia Tech where he talks with four students about Christianity, repentance, the significance of Easter, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Throughout the episode, Todd emphasizes the importance of the gospel, the need for forgiveness, and the role of Jesus Christ in salvation. Segment 1: • Student claims to believe in Easter but doesn't know why the resurrection matters. • Admits he's never really examined Christianity or the reason for Jesus' death. • Politely disengages without much spiritual interest. Segment 2: • Student who is from Maryland was raised Christian but avoids saying Jesus is the only way. • Hesitant to call other religions false, even while affirming Christianity for himself. • Struggles to boldly proclaim gospel exclusivity despite claiming personal faith. Segment 3: • Yoni proudly identifies as practicing Jew but admits breaking God's laws. • Rejects the idea of needing a Messiah, preferring personal responsibility for his sin. • Hears how Old Testament sacrifices point to Jesus, but remains unconvinced. Segment 4: • Rex boldly affirms Jesus as Lord but initially struggles to explain why. • Learns how the law exposes sin and why people need forgiveness, not just a better life. • Gets coached on using the Ten Commandments to make the gospel urgent and personal. ___ Thanks for listening!
