Guest Paul Glover is the No B.S. Executive Leadership Coach, assisting leaders in organizations with revenue up to one billion dollars.  He's a Tedx speaker, an approved Vistage and YPO Speaker on leadership in the Post-Pandemic work environment, the author of WorkQuake™: Making the Seismic Shift to a Knowledge Economy, a Forbes contributor, a "recovering” federal trial lawyer, an ex-felon, a Starbucks addict, and a Chicago Bears fanatic. Summary: Why this discussion matters In this candid and compelling conversation, Paul Glover shares his journey from successful labor lawyer to convicted felon and how a transformative prison experience led him to embrace vulnerability, personal accountability, and leadership coaching. Drawing on the metaphor of the "medieval fool," Glover emphasizes the value of truth-telling advisors and the importance of self-care and legacy in leadership. His coaching philosophy demands commitment, honesty, and hard work. Three Takeaways The Power of a "Fool": Inspired by the medieval fool who had the psychological safety to tell the king hard truths, Glover advocates for everyone to have a "fool" in their life – someone who provides honest, unfiltered feedback to expose blind spots and ensure accountability. His wife played this critical role during his imprisonment and continues to do so. Accountability as a Catalyst for Change: Glover's own profound transformation was rooted in taking full responsibility for his illegal actions and the devastating impact on his family. He emphasizes that true change and growth, both personally and in leadership, require unwavering personal accountability. Legacy and Self-Care in Leadership: Glover's coaching philosophy prioritizes building a lasting legacy—improving an organization for future leaders—over short-term, ego-driven gains. He also stresses that dedicated self-care is non-negotiable for effective leadership.

Send us a textWhat separates truly successful shed dealers from those who merely survive? The Steel Kings podcast answers this question as host Jared Ledford welcomes Sheds Direct's JW Rucker and Marc Church for a motivational deep dive into winning strategies for 2025 in the portable building industry.The conversation kicks off with a powerful framework for success that goes beyond wishful thinking. Marc emphasizes that winning in today's market requires three essential elements: defining what success means specifically for you, creating detailed action steps to reach those goals, and consistent daily execution. JW builds on this by sharing how implementing daily targets transformed his business approach – posting a specific number of marketplace ads daily, making follow-up calls to a set number of leads, and maintaining consistent social media presence.Perhaps the most eye-opening segment reveals startling statistics about customer follow-up. While 80% of sales require five or more follow-up contacts, nearly half of salespeople never make even a single follow-up attempt. The experts share their proven approach to nurturing leads through relationship-based follow-ups rather than high-pressure tactics. "It's not about asking if they're ready to buy today," Jared explains. "It's about remembering their kid's baseball game and genuinely connecting."The conversation shifts to a candid discussion about product focus versus diversification. Using real-world examples from their experience, the team explains why many shed dealers waste valuable resources on low-volume specialty products when focusing on core offerings would yield substantially better returns. As JW puts it, "You're going to sell ten barns for every chicken coop," making the case for mastering your primary revenue generators.Whether you're struggling with sales performance, considering new product lines, or searching for the right manufacturing partner, this episode delivers actionable insights to transform your approach. The passionate conversation culminates with JW's powerful reminder: "I can't want it more than you" – a challenge to bring your fullest commitment to your business every single day.Want to connect with industry leaders who understand your challenges?

Send us a textNavigating the shed industry in a post-pandemic world requires wisdom, strategy, and strong partnerships. In this revealing conversation, Jared Ledford welcomes Sheds Direct's dynamic duo – JW Rucker (District Sales Manager) and Marc Church (Business Development Director) – who bring decades of industry expertise and infectious enthusiasm to the discussion.The conversation dives deep into how COVID fundamentally transformed the shed business, creating what Marc describes as a shift from being shed sellers to mere "order takers" during the pandemic boom. As JW explains, "You could be bad at selling sheds and have a line out your door in 2020 or 2021." Now, as the market normalizes, quality and service have reemerged as crucial differentiators.At the heart of their discussion is the "price, quality, and service triangle" – the industry principle that no manufacturer can truly excel in all three areas. This challenging reality forces strategic decisions about identity and market positioning. What's fascinating is that despite conventional wisdom suggesting price drives purchasing decisions, Marc reveals their value line represents just 10-15% of total sales, proving customers ultimately seek quality and value over rock-bottom pricing.For dealers, the insights shared might fundamentally change how you approach manufacturer partnerships. The team candidly discusses how choosing partners solely on price often leads to spending countless hours addressing quality issues rather than selling more sheds. As Jared laments from experience, "We're still getting negative reviews from other manufacturers just now, and it makes us look bad."Whether you're a manufacturer, dealer, or industry supplier, this conversation provides critical market intelligence as we navigate 2025. The early winter challenges, the promising spring momentum, and the industry's overall trajectory offer valuable perspective for anyone invested in the portable building space. Their closing message resonates clearly: success lies not in racing to the bottom, but in delivering quality products that make customers proud and keep referrals flowing.For more information or to know more about the Shed Geek Podcast visit us at our website.Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube at the handle @shedgeekpodcast.To be a guest on the Shed Geek Podcast visit our website and fill out the "Contact Us" form.To suggest show topics or ask questions you want answered email us at info@shedgeek.com.This episodes Sponsors:Studio Sponsor: J Money LLCShed Geek MarketingShed HubRealwork Labs

Many of Oregon's county health officials are asking for a little extra consideration from lawmakers this year as they decide where to allocate funding. Two counties, Wallowa and Curry, have no public health staff and rely solely on the Oregon Health Authority to meet their needs. With the fifth anniversary of the initial COVID-19 lockdown this week, perhaps nothing is a bigger reminder of the need for a stable funding source for public health infrastructure. Sarah Lochner, the executive director of the Oregon Coalition of Local Health Officials, told OPB that not only is the state not ready for the next pandemic, counties are in dire need of stable funding just to deal with the everyday public health needs of the communities they serve — from vaccinating against whooping cough and measles, to providing needed treatment for alcohol and substance use disorder, to preventing HIV, hepatitis C, syphilis and other communicable diseases.  Jackson county public health worker Tanya Phillips said because grants are often available only when the health of a particular population declines, the system sets up a kind of unreliable boom and bust cycle for funding, which does not support healthy communities long term. Phillips and Lochner join us to share the impact that unpredictable and insufficient funding is having in Jackson County and around the state.

Texas students largely aren't making enough progress recovering from the learning disruptions touched off by the pandemic, new test results show. In other news, President Donald Trump's administration's crackdown on immigration, which began last week, has led to a daily spike in the number of arrests of undocumented people in the country; as a bird flu-induced egg shortage sweeps the country, North Texas restaurateurs are having to make adjustments to their menus to keep up with price increases and lack of availability. Matt Tobin, owner of Goodfriend Package and Goodfriend Beer Garden in East Dallas said, ‘we've seen a 20 to 25% increase in egg prices from November until now. They're probably up 17 to 18% just in the last month.' And the Dallas Cowboys' confirmed that newly minted head coach Brian Schottenheimer will also serve as the team's offensive play caller. The duty might've kept him in the building. Cowboys chief operating officer Stephen Jones said after Schottenheimer's introductory news conference Monday at The Star that former head coach Mike McCarthy would have continued to call plays had the team retained him as head coach. Schottenheimer — who served as offensive coordinator for two seasons under McCarthy — wouldn't have hung around for a third year of that arrangement.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Discover the unexpected consequences of a post-pandemic housing market with renowned housing analyst Amy Nixon. As mortgage rates rise, the phenomenon of mortgage lock-in is holding homeowners back from selling, creating an intriguing paradox of constrained supply amidst cooled demand. We unravel the unconventional tactics like builders buying down mortgage rates and the rise of cash transactions, while navigating the unique challenges confronting first-time buyers. With a spotlight on regional trends in Florida and Texas, we question whether the current housing prices are sustainable across different market tiers.Next, we dissect the interplay between federal interest rates, housing prices, and immigration. With an insightful examination of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's stance on economic independence, we explore how immigration impacts both the construction labor force and housing demand. The intricate balance of these factors is evident in booming markets like Florida and Texas, where the decision to upgrade homes despite higher rates is a critical choice for many. Amy and I delve into the potential effects of changing immigration policies under the Trump administration and the resulting pressures on construction labor and rental demand.Lastly, we gaze into the future of the housing market and investment strategies for 2024. The so-called "silver tsunami" of retirees selling their homes, particularly in Florida, creates a ripple effect on local markets, influencing real estate landscapes across the nation. As we weigh the merits of renting versus owning, I share my personal investment philosophy, emphasizing assets like gold, Bitcoin, and equities that promise better wealth-building opportunities than real estate.

This week on the Power House podcast, Diego sits down with Daren Blomquist, VP of Market Economics at Auction.com. Daren is a friendly face to many of you, and was last on the show in early 2023 to discuss his 2023 forecast. He's joining us again to talk about what he expects to see in the market post-election and into 2025. He and Diego talk about a potential market uptick as rates stabilize, how the mortgage rate lock-in effect is still impacting low inventory across the nation, and Auction.com's plan to expand into non-foreclosure property sales. Here's what you'll learn: We'll see a ‘Trump bump' in housing data. The certainty of the election results will encourage market activity. The current bidding activity indicates a sluggish spring market. The lock-in effect is keeping inventory low across the country. Auction.com is seeing interest from sellers outside of traditional foreclosure. Many sellers are turning to auctions as a viable selling option.

A few years after the start of the pandemic, and a couple of years into “recovery”, scientists are still disentangeling the effects of COVID-19 lockdowns and exposure. For example, is there an uptick in autism screen positives when pregnant mothers fell ill? Were there diagnostic disparities based on co-morbid conditions? Did autistic people feel better … Continue reading "Post-Pandemic Problems"

Greedflation - companies exploiting a high inflation environment to raise prices relatively more than costs - has grabbed attention and headlines in economics commentary, but the evidence to prove definitively whether it took place on a wide scale in the post-COVID period is not conclusive. This week, we chat with our academic partner Alberto Cavallo, professor at Harvard Business School and co-founder of PriceStats, about a new working paper in which he and his co-authors take a deep dive into cost and pricing dynamics during the pandemic years. They employ unique data sets and analysis to determine whether, where and when excessive mark-ups on goods prices took place along the supply chains during the high inflation years of 2021-2023.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

HOW MUCH OF THE TRAGEDY IS FENTANYL ETC? 1/4: Men Without Work: Post-Pandemic Edition (2022) (New Threats to Freedom Series) https://www.amazon.com/Men-Without-Work-Americas- Nicholas Eberstadt's landmark 2016 study, Men Without Work, cast a spotlight on the collapse of work for men in modern America. Rosy reports of low unemployment rates and “full or near full employment” conditions, he contends, were overlooking a quiet, continuing crisis: Depression-era work rates for American men of “prime working age” (25–54).    The grim truth: over six million prime-age men were neither working nor looking for work. Conventional unemployment measures ignored these labor force dropouts, but their ranks had been rising relentlessly for half a century. Eberstadt's unflinching analysis was, in the words of The New York Times, “an unsettling portrait not just of male unemployment, but also of lives deeply alienated from civil society.”    The famed American work ethic was once near universal: men of sound mind and body took pride in contributing to their communities and families. No longer, warned Eberstadt. And now—six years and one catastrophic pandemic later—the problem has not only worsened: it has seemingly been spreading among prime-age women and workers over fifty-five.    In a brand new introduction, Eberstadt explains how the government's response to Covid-19 inadvertently exacerbated the flight from work in America. From indiscriminate pandemic shutdowns to almost unconditional “unemployment” benefits, Americans were essentially paid not to work 1929 BLACKFRIDAY NYC
