In this episode of the Loveall Sales Podcast, I sit down with Lincoln—a leader I've looked up to for years because of one thing you can't fake: positivity backed by results.We talk about real life…not the Instagram version.Lincoln opens up about going from Army Ranger to being homeless for 9 months, sleeping in a smashed '87 Chevy Celebrity…to grinding his way into a machine shop, becoming a manager, and eventually taking a leap into the car business—where he became Salesman of the Month for 19 straight months and never looked back.From there, we break down what separates average stores from elite ones:Why process beats “winging it” every timeHow to get people to see their potential (and stop living at their ceiling)The truth about work-life balance when you're brokeWhat Lincoln looks for when promoting someone: production + leadership before the titleWhy he still sits on the desk, takes phone ups, and believes in TOsHow he motivates performance—like his famous Rolex challenge for 350+ carsThe exact standards he uses daily: cars sold, appts set, live connects, activity that mattersIf you're a salesperson, manager, or future GM who wants to build a career you're proud of, this one is pure fuel.Want my help building your process + daily activity plan?DM me “PODCAST” on Instagram and I'll send you my framework.

Stephanie Cegielski is Vice President, Research and Public Relations at ICSC, where she leads consumer research initiatives. Cegielski explains why Generation X—born between 1965 and 1980—represents a significant but overlooked opportunity for retailers and shopping center owners. Despite comprising only 19% of the U.S. population, Gen X accounts for a third of total consumer spending. She discusses Gen X shopping behaviors, including their preference for in-store experiences over online shopping, their resistance to social media influencer marketing, and their focus on high-dollar purchases like luxury goods. Joining the discussion are Ana Leon, Director of Retail Research at Nuveen; Mike Jordan, Director of Research at Big V Property Group; Gregg Katz, Director, Business Industry Solutions - Real Estate at Esri; and Meghann Martindale, Principal, Director Market Intelligence, Retail at Avison Young. The panel explores how Gen X's unique position as the "sandwich generation"—caring for aging parents while supporting their own children—drives their spending patterns, and why this generation's hybrid approach to technology makes them the ideal omnichannel consumer.   James Cook is the Director of Retail Research in the Americas for JLL.  Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify  Listen: WhereWeBuy.show  Email: jamesd.cook@jll.com  YouTube: http://everythingweknow.show/ Read more retail research here:  http://www.us.jll.com/retail Theme music is Run in the Night by The Good Lawdz, under Creative Commons license.

On November 20th, 2025, the EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers proposed a rule to define what “waters of the United States” (WOTUS) means under the Clean Water Act. This is yet another effort to finally provide a durable WOTUS rule. Fortunately, the 2023 Supreme Court opinion in Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency provided much-needed clarity for the agencies when determining what are regulable waters. Have the agencies developed a proposed rule that is consistent with Sackett? How have they defined key terms like “relatively permanent” and “continuous surface connection” and what wetlands would be regulated?The public comment period for this rule ended on January 5th, 2026, with a final rule likely to come out in the coming months. Please join our panel of experts as they detail what is in the rule, provide analysis and perspective on the rule, and explain what changes the agencies should make for any final rule.Featuring:Prof. Pat Parenteau, Professor of Law Emeritus, Vermont Law SchoolJohn Paul Woodley, Principal, Advantus Strategies, LLCDamien Schiff, Senior Attorney, Pacific Legal Foundation(Moderator) Daren Bakst, Director of the Center for Energy and Environment and Senior Fellow, Competitive Enterprise Institute

This week the boys break down the Crypto Clarity Act's dramatic Senate markup with Coin Center's Peter Van Valkenburgh, covering developer liability concerns, tokenized securities language controversy, the banking industry's war against stablecoin yield. Welcome to The Chopping Block — where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner chop it up about the latest in crypto. Tarun's out this episode, but we're joined by Peter Van Valkenburgh, Principal of Policy at Coin Center and one of the sharpest legal minds in crypto. This week, we're diving deep into the Crypto Clarity Act drama that has DC in chaos mode. What started as crypto's best shot at comprehensive regulation just hit a major roadblock when Coinbase pulled their support hours before the Senate markup. We'll break down the developer liability questions around "control" definitions, the tokenized securities language that has Brian Armstrong fired up, and the stablecoin yield restrictions that have banks and crypto companies at each other's throats. Peter gives us the inside scoop on what's really in this 200-page bill, why Polymarket odds crashed from 80% to 40%, and whether this legislative train wreck can still get back on track.

“First we shape our buildings, thereafter they shape us.” - Winston Churchill (attributed)The natural world is humanity's original habitat. This habitat supports our physiological energy efficiency and is an important health intervention for the AEC industry. These are core perspectives that Helena van Vliet shares in this joint PHA-Building Science Podcast interview. Helena makes the clear case that we are “open systems” - we take in our environments, both physically and with our perceptions. Whether outdoors or indoors, our physical selves have their own experience of each environment we inhabit. This experience first informs our bodies, which have their own reactions of ease or dis-ease; and next, seemingly at the same time, this experience then informs our minds and our psychological reality comes to life. This interview is yet another beacon guiding us to deeply rethink how we deliver indoor spaces to ourselves. Enjoy the nourishing feast of ideas here!Helena van VlietHelena van Vliet Dipl.-Ing.

She is a registered Architect, Consultant, Researcher, Educator, and Speaker focusing on the direct connections between human and bio-habitat resilience in built environments.

What if everything you believe about advocacy is incomplete? What if the real work of changing the world isn't just about fixing problems, but about transforming ourselves in the process?That's the heart of the work of Sam Daley-Harris, Founder and Principal of Civic Courage, and author of Reclaiming Our Democracy: Every Citizen's Guide to Transformational Advocacy.This conversation reframes what it means to participate in democracy. It's not just about agonizing or protesting or turning off the news. It's about awakening to our own power and using empathy to bridge divides and build the kind of future we actually want. It's about sharing personal stories, engaging in deep listening and conversation, and making bold asks of leaders and volunteers.To access the episode transcript, go to www.TheEmpathyEdge.com, search by episode title.Listen in for…Why sharing your “story of self” matters and how knowing your why becomes your anchor in meaningful leadership and advocacy.What transformational advocacy truly is, and why it has the power to change both the issues and the advocates themselves.The essential role of empathy in advocacy and the three questions volunteers ask when meeting with an opposing elected official that can turn conflict into connection.Why leaders and organizations must move past their fear of asking volunteers to do big, bold things, because that's where transformation happens. "Transformational advocacy is where you're trained, encouraged, and succeed at doing things as an advocate that you never thought you could do.

"You look too young. You can't talk to me about my benefits." That was the feedback Stephanie Handschuh received from a CFO early in her career. It is a bias that plagues the insurance industry, where the average age is pushing 60 and the "old guard" still holds the keys. With a massive wave of retirements on the horizon, the industry is in the middle of a culture clash between the traditional "golf and drinks" crowd and a new generation demanding tech, resources, and rapid growth.My guest, Stephanie Handschuh, Principal at Palmer & Cay, joins me to discuss how to navigate this generational divide. We talk about the burden on the "Middle Generation" to bridge the gap, why Gen Z doesn't care about your country club membership, and how young producers are using content to bypass the age objection entirely. This is the truth about what it takes to succeed when you are the youngest person in the room.Chapters:(0:00) The Silver Tsunami: Why the Industry is "Male, Pale, and Stale" (3:32) The AI Stance: Why You Can't Just "Evaluate" It Anymore (6:55) Gen Z Demands: Why They Want Titles Over Job Security (11:54) The Death of the "Three Martini Lunch" Culture (15:21) The Hardest Lesson for Young Producers: Pick Up the Phone (18:35) "You Look Too Young": Overcoming Age Bias in the Boardroom (20:37) How a 25-Year-Old Producer Won a President's Trust via Content▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callhttps://calendly.com/aneary/strategy-sessionCONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

We're back for more stories about the impact the David Eccles School of Business has on their lives and careers, and for this episode, host Frances Johnson is joined by Ashley Atkinson Williamson, Founder and Principal at Williamson Development. In this episode, Frances talks to Ashley about her journey from med school to finance and then real estate, and what valuable lessons she learned from each segment, and how it all helps her now in her passion for real estate development. Ashley discusses her other significant projects, including the co-founding of Utah's Perpetual Housing Fund, and highlights the importance of adaptability, intuition, continuous learning, and building strong relationships. Ashley also emphasizes the value of grit and open-mindedness in navigating career changes and underscores the importance of community involvement and giving back.Eccles Business Buzz is a production of the David Eccles School of Business and is produced by University.fm.Eccles Business Buzz is proud to be selected by FeedSpot as one of the Top 70 Business School podcasts on the web.

Now I'm 30, almost 35, and I still am like, well, now what am I going to learn? Like now I learned LIHTC; what should I learn next? Because you just have no idea where that's going to help you somewhere else. Anyway, I think continuing to want to learn and enjoy it, even if it's like architecture or planning or art or something that really, maybe it's adjacent, maybe it has nothing to do with your career, I think reading books about anything will help you somewhere. So I think just that mindset of enjoying learning—try to keep that up even when you're in the thick of long workweeks and your late twenties and early thirties. Find a way to learn and enjoy what you're learning.Ashley reveals what it took for her to push past the fear of changing careers.[16:42] Frances Johnson: Talk to us about how you motivated yourself and how you prepared yourself. What was it, maybe a mantra or a ritual or something that allowed you to overcome that fear and just really go for the opportunity?[16:58] Ashley Atkinson Williamson: I think it was just this self-knowing that this is where I want to be. I could have stayed at the bank; I could have worked my way up, but looking like five or ten years ahead, would I just have wasted those five or ten years, or would I be putting my effort into something else? And I have to attribute it to just grit. Like I just knew that this is where I was supposed to be. There were a lot of miserable days. Some of those days dragged on for a very long time, but I just, if this is what I wanted to do, I had to start somewhere. I had to get my foot in the door, and I do think that's one of my most valuable skills, especially being a developer.How staying connected to the alumni network opened doors for Ashley[30:52] I have gotten job offers, partnership opportunities from the relationships that I made years later. Like you talked about, maybe these relationships are going to bring opportunities years in the future. I'm really busy now. I'm running a business, and I'm a mom to a one-and-a-half-year-old, but I still make a point to say yes anytime I get invited to the U because, and I'm sure this is the same for most alums, we just want to give back to the school that gave so much to us. And I love getting invited to come back, and I love meeting with the students, and I really hope that I can inspire someone that maybe is nervous about jumping into something that seems scary or not following exactly the trajectory that seems like either their other classmates are doing or their mentors are kind of pushing them. Like just be open to doing something a little different. Anyway, I am always excited to come and tell my story and to try to help any students that I can.Show Links:Ashley Atkinson Williamson | LinkedInUtah's Perpetual Housing Fund | WebsiteDavid Eccles School of Business (@ubusiness) | InstagramUndergraduate Scholars ProgramsRising Business LeadersEccles Alumni Network (@ecclesalumni) | Instagram Eccles Experience Magazine

After three decades working to deliver easy, fast and cost-effective patient experiences through technology, Ryan Howells is more optimistic about the future than he's ever been before.At a time when healthcare has been at the center of polarizing and partisan politics, Ryan is focused on an area foundational to digital health that he says draws consensus across party lines: data exchange and interoperability. Freely moving data can unlock innovation in technology, payment models, and regulation to make healthcare work better for everyone, and Ryan is extremely encouraged by the openness to ideas and volume of activity he's seeing from the second Trump Administration in these areas.As Principal at Leavitt Partners since 2015, Ryan collaborates with the private sector, the White House, Congress, HHS, and the VHA to improve health care nationwide. For the past ten years, he has also led the CARIN Alliance, a bi-partisan, multi-sector alliance uniting industry leaders to advance the adoption of consumer-directed exchange across the U.S.In January 2023, Ryan joined Keith Figlioli on the podcast to discuss the myriad of new possibilities emerging in healthcare as a result of better access to data. In this episode, he recounts the progress and obstacles since that conversation, but more importantly, helps unpack the flurry of new activity.Topics Ryan and Keith covered include:ACCESS & TEMPO. These are the latest examples of two new government programs that Ryan believes will remove barriers to innovation. ACCESS is a CMS initiative that now makes it possible for technology companies to bill Medicare directly for digital health services – and get paid only when patients achieve specific, measurable clinical outcomes. Ryan explains how ACCESS is a breakthrough for transparency and has the potential to change contracting for digital health vendors as health system may now ask to share risk. TEMPO is a program from the FDA that complements ACCESS by allowing participating companies to bypass traditional device clearance processes through “enforcement discretion,” provided they share real time data with the FDA. Ryan explains how this oversight lowers cost and complexity for startups and accelerates the path to market for new digital health solutions.Removing administrative roadblocks. In early 2025, Ryan's team at Leavitt Partners published a paper titled, “Kill the Clipboard” that offered recommendations to cut administrative costs, lower the burden on consumers and providers, and modernize the health care data exchange ecosystem. Ryan discussed recommendations like the need for stronger enforcement of information blocking rules and suggestions for the government to change its certification program to focus on APIs, versus functionality of EHRs. He explained how these things would allow health systems to control their own data, build cloud-based workflows, and integrate with payers and innovative companies more easily.Linchpins for data liquidity. Ryan believes that achieving true data liquidity in healthcare requires three foundational elements: a cloud-based data store, an API endpoint, and robust digital identity credentials. With these in place, he says organizations can exchange data securely and efficiently, supporting everything from public health to quality measurement and pharmacy exchange. He says these are the linchpins to finally achieve the data liquidity needed for innovation, interoperability, and improved patient outcomes.To hear Ryan and Keith discuss these topics and more, listen to this episode of Healthcare is Hard: A Podcast for

Amanda Cruise interviews Liz Faircloth about her two-decade real estate journey, the evolution of InvestHER, and how her investing philosophy has shifted alongside life, family, and market cycles. Liz shares how early hands-on investing grew into larger multifamily projects, why supply-and-demand fundamentals matter more than ever, and how stepping outside hyper-local markets unlocked scale. She also explains the confidence gap women face in investing, the power of building the right team instead of knowing everything, and why legacy, joy, and impact now guide her decisions as much as returns. The conversation highlights how intentional strategy, clear lanes in partnerships, and mission-driven investing can create long-term success for both individuals and communities.

The Breakfast Club (1985) was chosen by Patreon supporter Lucky LouLou Green, and it stands as one of the defining films of 1980s American cinema. Written, produced, and directed by John Hughes, the movie was made during an incredibly prolific period for the filmmaker, as he reshaped teen movies with a more honest, character-driven approach. Shot on a modest budget of around $1 million, the film was produced quickly, with Hughes deliberately stripping away flashy set pieces to focus on dialogue, performance, and atmosphere. Principal photography took place at Maine North High School in Des Plaines, Illinois — a real, unused school that Hughes would return to multiple times throughout his career.The production schedule was famously short — just 28 days — and Hughes encouraged collaboration, allowing the young cast to contribute ideas and personal experiences to their roles. Several moments of dialogue were improvised or rewritten on set, helping give the film its natural, conversational feel that set it apart from other teen movies of the era. Composer Keith Forsey provided the now-iconic soundtrack, perfectly capturing the mood of mid-80s youth culture. Upon release, The Breakfast Club became both a commercial and cultural success, cementing Hughes' reputation and turning its cast into defining faces of a generation. Today, the film is widely regarded as a landmark of 1980s filmmaking — proof that a small budget, a single location, and strong creative confidence can produce something timeless.

Episode Description: What if the biggest risk to your project isn’t technical—it’s conversational? Most engineering projects fail not because of flawed plans or inadequate technology, but because teams aren’t having the right conversations about trust, coordination, and care. In this episode, Jason Klous, Principal at Midion with over 30 years in complex construction projects, reveals the Language Action Perspective—a framework that transforms how teams communicate and coordinate. Jason shares why the most technically skilled people often struggle with the most critical conversations, how to rebuild trust when it’s broken, and the surprising power of assessments delivered with care. Whether you’re leading a multi-million dollar construction project or navigating difficult conversations at home, this episode will change how you think about communication as the foundation of success. Key Takeaways: The missing conversations kill projects: Technically sound projects fail when teams don’t discuss trust, psychological safety, and coordination—not because of poor planning or inadequate software. Trust has specific domains: When trust breaks down, identify whether the issue is reliability, competence, or sincerity. Once you know which domain is lacking, you can develop a targeted plan to rebuild it. Moods are contagious and foundational: Teams fall into moods unconsciously, and those moods influence listening, trust, and coordination. Identifying and shifting moods can transform project outcomes. Assessments strengthen relationships when delivered with care: The most difficult feedback, when delivered to improve the relationship (not damage it), often brings relief and reveals more about the person delivering it than the person receiving it. Write it down before difficult conversations: To avoid “talking around” the issue, write down what you need to say. This helps you be more direct while maintaining care and candor.

Today on Mea Culpa, I welcome back Maria Cardona, Democratic strategist, CNN commentator, Principal at the Dewey Square Group, and founder of Latinovations, for an honest conversation about the ICE shooting that killed U.S. citizen Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis on Wednesday. We break down the video evidence contradicting federal claims, the Trump administration's rapid misinformation campaign, and what the killing reveals about unchecked federal power, reckless ICE recruitment, and the normalization of state violence. We also examine the broader implications for civil rights, public trust in law enforcement, and the weaponization of “domestic terrorism” labels. Most importantly, we explore why this moment marks a dangerous turning point for American democracy and accountability itself.
