As an occupation, working in the snow sports industry as a guide, instructor, coach and patroller has one of the highest non-fatal workplace injury rates in North America.Recreationally, skiing and snowboarding are often thought of as extreme sports, although I think we can all agree there is a range to that. Still, both resort and backcountry skiing and riding come with a much higher level of risk than most sports.In this episode, Jordy and Chris discuss what it takes to manage risk in snow more effectively. Chris leads the discussion leaning into the extensive work he has done on the Managing Risk on Snow program with Whistler Blackcomb and the Professional Ski Instructors of Canada (PSIC).Chris is currently developing the Managing Risk on Snow Certification for Instructors and Patrollers. When complete, this will be a four-level online certification stream with each level taking approximately three hours to complete. The first two levels are now complete.Jordy shares his extensive experience as an ACMG Mountain guide working in the Heli-ski and backcountry ski industry as well as his ski racing background.Both Chris and Jordy share what it takes to manage risk in snow more effectively so that you can reduce the risk of injury to yourself and others.Key TakeawaysChallenges of the Ski Environment: People are making decisions on the move. The environment is very changeable and fast moving. Conditions are inconsistent and the people themselves are unpredictable. All of this creates a high level of uncertainty.Smart Risk: Smart Risks are risks that are designed to maximize opportunities for growth and rewards, while reducing the chance of experiencing negative outcomes - to acceptable levels.Smart Risk Criteria: Smart risks are Calculated, Acceptable, Necessary and Prepared for.Key Components of Managing Risk: Managing hazard, exposure and vulnerability. Hazard is the thing that can cause us harm. Exposure is our proximity to the hazard, often measured in time, frequency and distance. Vulnersbility, is our susceptibility or fragility to the hazard. These are the three components that we are working to manage the most when it comes to managing risk.Three Top Risk Strategies: Reducing vulnersbility, limiting exposure by avoiding unnecessary risks and making sure we are prepared and ready.Guest BiosChris Kaipio is the produce and co-host of Delivering Adventure.He has worked in the adventure industry as an instructor, guide, trainer and manager since 2001.Chris is currently developing the Managing Risk on Snow eLearning Certification for the Professional Ski Instructors of Canada.

What does real prep look like? Hosts John Simon, Tim Cronin and Erich Veith discuss re-reading the pleadings (even when you think you remember them), pre-running exhibits with the video tech, using your experts, and why AI can draft your outline but can't do your thinking. Plus: the "just damages" lesson John Simon learned the hard way in year one.

A recent survey by Wired Research, asked one thousand parents of kids ages fourteen to eighteen if they thought their children were prepared to manage their finances in adulthood. The survey found that only eight percent of the parents surveyed believe their teenagers are “extremely prepared” to handle their finances in adulthood. What's interesting is that this is a ten percent drop from last year, when eighteen percent of the parents reported the same. This declining confidence reminds us that as Christian parents, we need to go out of our way to teach our kids biblical principles of good financial stewardship, to teach them about saving, to teach them about tithing, and to teach them to recognize and push back on the constant flow of marketing messages seducing them to spend, spend, and spend. First Timothy six ten tells us that “the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.”

September 27, 2026 - Len W Wyatt Life lessons from the parable of the 10 virgins (Matthew 25:1-13).

Revelation Episode 14: Babylon and 666 Today we see the final conflict between the Kingdom of God and the Babylonian system. The final conflict is deeper than a struggle between individual nations or political rulers. Revelation presents a profound conflict about who has the right to define humanity, receive its worship and determine its ultimate destiny. On one side stands the Kingdom of God, a covenantal reality established through humility and truth; on the other stands Babylon, humanity's attempt to construct an identity and establish security entirely independent of God. (Camera angle 5) Revelation 17:1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, "Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth were made drunk with the wine of her fornication." Babylon is more than just an ancient city. In Revelation it becomes the final expression of a system involving religion, politics, economics, commerce, human power, spiritual deception and rebellion against God. The story of Babylon begins in Genesis and develops progressively through Scripture. Its pattern can be traced from the Tower of Babel to ancient Babylon with Nebuchadnezzar and Daniel, to the Beast of Revelation chapter 13, and finally to the worldwide Babylon of Revelation 17-18. At the heart of this system is the declaration in Genesis 11:4: 'Let us make us a name.' God creates humanity in His image and gives humanity identity in relationship with Himself. Babylon reverses that order. Humanity attempts to create itself in its own image, establish its own identity and authority, and construct its own system of worship. The fundamental contrast between God's Kingdom and Babylon can be mapped as follows: God's Kingdom — Babylon Hallowed be His name — Let us make us a name God's glory — Human glory Dependence upon God — Independence from God Servanthood — Power The Lamb — The Beast The Bride — The Harlot The Origin of Babylon and Let Us Make Us a Name The roots of Babylon reach back to the tower of Babel after the Flood in Genesis 11, with humanity gathering to build a city and a tower reaching toward heaven. Their stated purpose was: 'Let us make us a name.' Humanity's identity becomes its own image. The "Babylonian Principle" operates as a threefold structure of independence that seeks to occupy every sphere of human life: • Religion: The use of spiritual language and ritual to serve human pride, authority, and institutional glory. • Politics/Power: The establishment of universal systems of control and authority that demand absolute allegiance. • Economics: A structure of commerce and prosperity where wealth is the ultimate measure of success, detached from divine stewardship. Babylon Is Not Merely a False Church It is a comprehensive world system capable of incorporating religion, politics, economics, culture and commerce into a structure of human self-exaltation. Revelation does not identify Babylon as 'the apostate Christian church' or as any Christian denomination or organisation. It is reconnecting people's souls to a primal darkness. John describes Babylon as the great harlot, a centre of spiritual corruption, a persecutor of God's people, a power intertwined with kings and merchants, and a system ultimately destroyed by the Beast and the final ten kings. Therefore we should distinguish between the actual prophetic Babylon of Revelation and essential Babylonian characteristics. A Christian organisation can display Babylonian tendencies if it becomes dominated by wealth, prestige, political power, institutional ambition, manipulation, celebrity status, control, religious performance, empire-building and spiritual exploitation. But even that still does not provide sufficient biblical grounds to declare any one Christian organisation to be the prophetic Harlot. The better question is: What does Babylon represent, and are any of us participating in its values? This is particularly important because Revelation 18:4 declares, "Come out of her, my people." The presence of 'my people' within Babylon indicates that God's people can become entangled with Babylonian values and must respond to God's call to separate themselves from her ungodly culture and behaviour before that culture claims them. Nebuchadnezzar and Babylon's First Great End Time Pattern In Daniel chapter 3, the historical Babylonian kingdom provides a remarkable prophetic pattern. Nebuchadnezzar erects a great golden image and commands the peoples, nations and languages of his empire to worship it. Political authority, religious authority and enforced worship become united. The pattern is striking: a powerful ruler, a humanly constructed image, universal political authority, religious worship, governmental enforcement, economic and social consequences, and death in a fiery furnace being threatened for those who refuse. The Babylon of Daniel 3, and the demand of Nebuchadnezzar to worship his image gives us a model of Revelation chapter 13 for the image of the Beast. The three Jewish men, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego demonstrate that God's people can exist within Babylon without belonging to Babylon. They were physically within Nebuchadnezzar's kingdom, but Babylon could not possess their worship. They were thrown into the furnace, and while the attendants were consumed by fire, the king's aide said, 'Look! I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth man is like the Son of God.' This becomes an important principle for God's people in the final conflict: Babylon may surround God's people, threaten God's people and try to destroy their bodies, but it cannot possess those who belong to God. The conflict is therefore not merely political. Behind the visible structures of the final world system stands a spiritual power seeking to destroy God's purposes and God's people. The Woman, the Church, is found in the midst of this conflict, yet she is preserved by God. Revelation chapter 12 does not portray the Church simply disappearing from the earth. The Woman is given the two wings of the great eagle and carried into a 'wilderness' - a prepared, vacant and 'marked out' place (topos), out of the way of danger but still in the midst - where she is nourished for three and a half years. That is an important parallel with Daniel chapter 3: in the fire but unharmed. The central question becomes: Can Babylon penetrate and possess the people of God? The answer is ultimately no. God preserves His people even as the Babylonian system develops around them. Revelation 13 and the Beast the Image and the Mark Revelation 13 now brings the political manifestation of this system into view. The First Beast rises from the sea and receives authority over the nations. The Dragon gives him his power, throne and great authority. The second Beast, as the false prophet, exercises religious influence and directs humanity toward worship of the first Beast. Here in Revelation, what we saw in Daniel 3 is brought to a final expression: Beast -> image -> religious worship -> universal authority -> economic control -> persecution -> death for refusal. The Beast is therefore not merely a political ruler. His system demands allegiance, worship and economic control (the two horns of the false prophet). The mark of the Beast, 666, is associated with the right hand or forehead - what you do and what you think. We now have two competing identities: the Beast's name, mark and number versus the name of God and the Lamb. Babylon 66 and 666 and the Completion of Human Autonomy This is where the connection between Daniel 3 and Revelation 13 becomes especially significant. Nebuchadnezzar's golden image was sixty cubits high and six cubits wide: 6 and 6, or 66. Revelation 13 brings the pattern to its ultimate expression in 666. Revelation 13:18 666 is "the number of a man." Six can be understood symbolically as falling short of seven, the number associated with divine fullness and completion. Within this theological framework, the three sixes can be viewed as representing humanity's attempt to occupy the whole field of existence apart from God. Humanity is tripartite, spirit, soul and body, so the Beast's system seeks total control: • The Babylonian spirit says: "I will establish my own identity." • The Beast says: "I will establish my own authority." • The image says: "I will establish my own object of worship." 666 represents the culmination of that human-centred system in spirit, soul and body. The Lamb as God's Answer to the Beast Revelation presents the Lamb and His people as the true answer to the Beast's counterfeit kingdom, but this has wider scope than the polarities of the two marks on the forehead that we saw in the study of the 144,000. The issue is therefore not simply who controls the world politically. It is whose image and whose name humanity will carry. Revelation 17 and the Harlot and the Beast Revelation 17:15 Then he said to me, "The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are the people, multitudes, nations, and different languages." Only after the Beast's system has been established does Revelation 17 unveil Babylon in its fullest prophetic form - a woman sitting upon a scarlet Beast having seven heads and ten horns. The Beast represents the political and imperial power. The harlot woman represents Babylon's religious, spiritual, economic and seductive dimension, and initially they cooperate. The woman, Babylon, rides on the Beast, showing that religious and spiritual influence becomes joined to political authority. Babylon gives the Beast legitimacy and influence, while the Beast provides the power by which Babylon operates. Yet this relationship is temporary and the very political powers supporting Babylon will ultimately turn against her. The Seven Heads the Seventh Kingdom and the Eighth Revelation 17:9-11 Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must continue a short time. The beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition (lake of fire). This explains the mystery of the seven heads. The seven heads are associated with seven mountains and seven kings, which represent successive world kingdoms associated with the Babylonian-Beast system. These are Egypt, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome (the one 'that is' for John). Then there is the one to come who continues for a short time: the Beast who has the likeness of the lion, bear and leopard, is of the seven geopolitical rulers, suffers a mortal wound that is healed in a counterfeit resurrection, and is also the eighth who goes into the lake of fire. The Ten Horns and the Final Coalition Revelation 17:12 identifies the ten horns as ten kings who receive authority for a limited period with the Beast. They represent a final political coalition united around the Beast. These are the ten toes of another image in Daniel chapter 7, which we will consider in the next episode (15). Revelation 17:13 These have one mind and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. This apparent unity is temporary. The Great Reversal and Babylon Destroyed The alliance between Babylon and the Beast eventually collapses. Revelation 17:16 declares that the Beast and the ten horns will hate the Harlot, make her desolate and burn her with fire. The political system that once supported Babylon eventually destroys her, and God has sovereignly permitted this to accomplish His purposes. The Final Contrast Between Babylon and the Bride The destruction of Babylon prepares the way for the final revelation of the Bride. Revelation chapters 17-19 establishes a profound contrast between two women. The Harlot — The Bride Seductive, wealthy, politically powerful, materially magnificent, spiritually corrupt, intoxicated with influence, practising persecution and finally destroyed — Prepared for Christ, faithful, clothed in righteousness, united with the Lamb and ultimately revealed in glory Babylon can operate through religion, politics, economics and culture, but the final issue is not politics. It is religion and worship, identity and allegiance. It is the question of whether humanity will receive its identity from God or create its own. Religion Bonding and Allegiance I have been mentioning Religion quite a lot today, and I'd like to end with a few words about what religion means. Religion comes from the Latin word religio (root word religare). Ligare means ligament. A ligament binds bone to bone and bone to muscle. It allows bodily movement and it allows the inner bone and inner physical bodily framework to move into action and strength. Just as biological ligaments serve as the connective bonding that holds the body's framework together, true religion is a relational bonding that ensures a person is anchored in belief and truth. Therefore, re-ligio is the re-bonding that occurs when the binding has been lost, damaged or neglected. When people get a revelation of the goodness and grace of God through Jesus and the Holy Spirit, they get re-ligamented, re- connected to life and truth. But when Babylon seduces people into a false belief that declares it will assure their spiritual and social and financial survival and security they get reconnected to spiritual deception and darkness. Babylon exploits the fundamental human needs for belonging, security, and identity to create a structure of personal bondage and participation in something larger than themselves. • Babylon says: Bind yourself to this system so that you may belong and survive. • Jesus said: Take My yoke upon you, bonding you to Himself so that you may live. The religious aspect of Babylon in the end times is reconnecting people's souls to a primal darkness that is beginning to exercise its utmost destructive power. The Holy Spirit in these days is reconnecting people's souls to Himself as our new Helper and giving us an abundance of grace to become one with Jesus and with one another in the Spirit. Dimension — God's intention — Babylonian corruption Spirit — Relationship with God — Independence from God Soul — Mind, will and identity — Ideological conformity Body — Life belonging to God — Instrument of allegiance to the Beast The Seven Kingdoms and the Beast Head — Kingdom/system — Daniel/Revelation relationship 1 — Egypt — Early persecuting empire opposing God's covenant people 2 — Babylon — Daniel's first great imperial kingdom; archetype of Babylonian system 3 — Medo-Persia — Daniel's second kingdom 4 — Greece — Daniel's third kingdom 5 — Rome — Daniel's fourth kingdom; rules in John's era. Two legs of iron - East and West 6 — Final revived/composite Beast system — An emerging future manifestation 7 — Beast/Antichrist manifestation — Final geopolitical seven-ruler system 8 — The Beast himself — "Of the seven"; receives a mortal head wound and is healed in a counterfeit resurrection, then is destined for the lake of fire

October cover star Mikey Madison joins Chloe at her hotel room in Milan ahead of Vogue World to discuss her role as Frances Haugen in Aaron Sorkin's The Social Reckoning, out October 7. The film is a follow-up to 2010's The Social Network, focusing primarily on the whistleblower and the journalist who exposed the rot in Facebook's infrastructure. Madison does not physically resemble Frances Haugen, so she had to embody the character in other ways. " For this one, I feel like it's more of an intellectual transformation that I needed to try and pull off. There was a lot of restraint involved in this character and how she processes emotions, and so that was something that was intriguing to me. Also, a little bit scary in a way." Aside from the film, Madison spends most of her time baking and with her family and pets. She recently acquired two donkeys and spends as much time as she can giving them cuddles and grooming them. "There was one point where I was like, 'I wonder, is this too crazy and unhinged and too many horse, pony, Chihuahua things? And, like, are people gonna think that I'm crazy?' And then I was like, "You know what? This is me." The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.

Dr. David Swanson | Ecclesiastes 12:1-14The Teacher closes by looking back and revisiting some of his questions, the tension that we live in between mystery, pain and joy. In the end, it is remembering the good works of God to save that keeps us living according to His purposes.

This month's Word of Life comes from the Book of Exodus, which recounts the increasingly desperate situation of the Israelites in Egypt. Oppressed and enslaved, they cry out to God for help, and their cry reaches His heart. God intervenes through Moses, leading the people to freedom and establishing a new relationship with them. After their liberation, God gives them the “Code of the Covenant,”[1] a collection of teachings and laws — including the Ten Commandments — that flow directly from the extraordinary experience of being rescued. This code, formally accepted by the entire people,[2] offered concrete guidance for how they were to live in fidelity to the God who saved them. Among these instructions is the command: “You shall not oppress or afflict a resident alien, for you were once aliens residing in the land of Egypt.” This reminder roots their moral life in memory: the people are called to treat others with the same compassion and justice that God showed them.“You shall not oppress or afflict a resident alien, for you were once aliens residing in the land of Egypt.”  (Ex 22:21)The stranger belongs to the categories favored and protected by God because they are among the most vulnerable, along with the poor, the orphan, and the widow. The rationale behind this rule appeals, first and foremost, to the memory of what was experienced during slavery in Egypt. God's mighty intervention in the Exodus is constantly repeated in the Old Testament. It is an event that the people must always keep in mind as something that continues to repeat itself, in different ways, in every generation. Origen's statement, in his commentary on the Book of Exodus, is significant: “Whoever oppresses the stranger shows that he has not yet left Egypt.”[3] This commandment also calls for empathy because putting ourselves in the shoes of another helps us understand them and grasp what they need. Those who have gone through a difficult experience should find it easier to empathize with the pain of others. But in the Old Testament, this is not merely a human experience. The first to set an example of what it means to enter into the situation of others is God himself.“You shall not oppress or afflict a resident alien, for you were once aliens residing in the land of Egypt.”  (Ex 22:21)How can we put this Word of Life into practice? It might be helpful to ask ourselves a few questions: Have I ever experienced being a stranger? Have I ever felt unaccepted, unwelcome, misunderstood, or out of place? What have I learned from these experiences? Who is the stranger to me? Who is the stranger to God? How can I welcome them without reservation, just as the Lord does with us? What concrete steps can I take? Chiara Lubich once wrote: “With a God who makes no distinction between people, how can we not take universal brotherhood to heart? As children of the same Father, we can discover that we are brothers and sisters to every man and woman we encounter. If, therefore, we are all brothers and sisters, we must love everyone, beginning with those closest to us, without stopping. Our love will not then be a theoretic, abstract love, but a concrete one, made of service. A love capable of reaching out to the other person, initiating a dialogue, empathizing with their distress, taking on their burdens and worries, all the way to the point that the other one feels understood and welcomed in their diversity and free to express all the richness they carry within themselves.”[4] This is the experience of Maryam, a young Pakistani woman: “In a café, I saw the owner refuse to serve tea to an elderly woman. I had only a few rupees (the local currency) in my pocket, but I felt I had to help her, so I approached the owner and offered to pay for her. At first, he hesitated. Then, after a pause, he smiled and said, ‘No, that's not right. If you, a customer, are willing to use what little you have to take care of her, how much more generous should I, the owner, be? It's easier for me to give her a free cup of tea than to charge you.' It was a powerful experience. By trying to show love, first to the woman and then to the owner, I saw how a simple gesture of kindness can open another person's heart.” Prepared by Augusto Parody Reyes and the Word of Life team[1] Ex 20:22-26.[2] See Ex 24.[3] Origen, Early Christian scholar, (185-254 AD), “Homily on the Exodus,” verse 5.[4] Chiara Lubich, Commentary on the Word of Life of May 2006.

The return of Jesus Christ is a vital part of the Gospel, and while believers may differ on some details of the end times, Scripture is clear about one thing: we must be ready. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef challenges Christians to live every day with their eyes fixed on Christ and their hearts prepared for His return.Jesus said, “Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning.” To be dressed and ready means being prepared emotionally, mentally, and spiritually—not living as though Christ's return has nothing to do with today, but allowing that promise to shape our priorities, decisions, and obedience.Keeping our lamps burning means letting the light of Christ shine through our lives. Believers are called to remain alert, faithful, and active in witness rather than becoming spiritually distracted or asleep.Jesus also warns that His return will come unexpectedly for those consumed with earthly concerns and unprepared to meet Him. But for those who love Him and eagerly await His appearing, His coming will be a moment of overwhelming joy and reward.Live faithfully. Serve wholeheartedly. Shine brightly. And keep looking to Jesus, knowing that the King is coming.Pray with me.Jesus, may I anticipate Your coming by living for You each day, sharing the hope of salvation with all You put in my path. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

reamworks Animation's The Forgotten Island Movie Review! Grab your D-BOX tickets here: https://www.cinemark.com/movies/resid... Here's my spoiler-free Out Of Theater Reaction and review for DreamWorks Animation's The Forgotten Island, starring H.E.R., Liza Soberano, Dave Franco and Lea Salonga. I went in knowing very little and had an absolute blast—this movie made me laugh, made me cry more than once and left me emotionally exhausted in the best, most cathartic way. Directors Joel Crawford and Januel P. Mercado deliver a visually stunning adventure rooted in Filipino culture, mythology and folklore, with animation that blends comic-book imagery, anime influences and traditional Filipino art. H.E.R. and Liza Soberano bring so much heart to Jo and Raissa's friendship, while Dave Franco nearly steals the movie as Raww. It's funny, weird, heartfelt, surprisingly intense and packed with meaningful ideas about friendship, memory, change and the stories we carry with us. This is a true feast for the senses and one of DreamWorks' most imaginative original movies in years.

The Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands faced back-to-back super typhoons in 2026, putting its health system and infrastructure under significant strain. Esther Muna, CEO of the Northern Mariana Islands Commonwealth Health Corporation and Territorial Health Official for CNMI and an ASTHO board member, discusses how the territory prepared for the storms and responded to their aftermath. We also hear from two other members of the CNMI hospital emergency preparedness program team: Warren Villagomez, the director for public health and Hospital Emergency Preparedness, and Patrick Fitial, the senior planner. The team describes efforts to activate emergency operations, protect healthcare facilities, plan workforce coverage, and secure vulnerable populations before the storms arrived. They also discuss challenges including prolonged power and water disruptions, damaged roads and ports, limited communications, and supply chain disruptions. Mobile clinics, medical reserve corps volunteers, nonprofit organizations, and federal, territorial, and local partners helped bring healthcare and public health services directly to communities during the recovery.How New Laws Support Telehealth and Access to Health Care | ASTHOFunding & Collaboration Opportunities | ASTHO

The U.S. declared measles eliminated in 2000 — so why are we seeing more cases and deaths than in the last 30 years? Dr. Jennifer Nuzzo reveals the hyper-local vaccination gaps driving the resurgence, and why preparing for the next pandemic starts on your block, not in Washington. In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Jennifer Nuzzo discuss the recurring nature of pandemics that require prevention, preparedness, and coordinated action from global, national, and local organizations, institutions, and communities. They discuss the current preparedness systems, where they are working, and where they could be strengthened, as well as breaking down some vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks and the future risks of pandemics.    Key Takeaways: Pandemics happen regularly throughout history. We are not going to be able to prevent them from happening, but we can prepare for them in a way that will not put everything on hold and upend lives (or cause deaths).  Pandemic means a global spread. It does not have to be deadly; it just has to be global. When talking about pandemics, respiratory viruses are the pathogens that are most worried about.  Transparency in preparedness not only is shown to help the individuals in that one country, but also other countries because decisions can be made based on more complete information. Immunization works by having the majority of a population covered by the vaccine. When more people are vaccinated, everyone can be protected. This makes the more immediate community, such as your child's school vaccination rate, more important than a larger population, such as the state or national vaccination rate.    "There's a lot of stuff wrong with the world right now, and a lot of it is at the global level or at the national level. But the good news is that preparedness is a bottom-up exercise. It starts in your community, and just like when I talked about, it really matters what the vaccination coverage is in your school, in your kid's school, or what it is in your community. What happens locally absolutely matters." —  Dr. Jennifer Nuzzo   Connect with Jennifer Nuzzo: Professional Bio: https://pandemics.sph.brown.edu/people/jennifer-nuzzo-drph  Research: https://vivo.brown.edu/display/jnuzzo  X: https://x.com/JenniferNuzzo    Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/jennifernuzzo.bsky.social    Website: http://thepandemiccenter.org/    Connect with Therese: Website:  www.criticallyspeaking.net Bluesky: @CriticallySpeaking.bsky.social Instagram: @criticallyspeakingpodcast Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Why Your Second Location Will Underperform Your First (be prepared)I got a call from a cleaning business owner a few weeks ago. He was doing $20,000 a month — solid business, great reviews, growing. And he wanted to open a second location.I told him to wait.He pushed back. So I asked him one question: "If you left for a month — like, actually left the country — does your business still run?"He went quiet.That silence told me everything I needed to know. And it's why most second locations don't just underperform — they quietly drag the first one down with them.Connect with me • X (Twitter): https://x.com/NeelBParekh • MaidThis Franchise info: https://maidthisfranchise.com/ • MaidThis on X: https://x.com/MaidThis• My local business: https://maidthis.com
