“Emergencies don't wait—neither should you.” —Dave Beagle, Ooma In a time-sensitive and information-rich conversation, Doug Green, publisher of Technology Reseller News, sat down with Dave Beagle of Ooma to discuss the urgent need for businesses to migrate away from traditional copper POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) lines. Beagle delivered a compelling presentation centered around Ooma's Airdial solution, which is specifically engineered to support mission-critical applications like fire and life safety systems. The discussion highlighted a ticking clock: with AT&T aiming to sunset all copper lines by 2029—and over 10 million POTS lines still active—resellers and IT advisors are faced with a once-in-a-generation opportunity. “That means replacing over 8,500 lines a day, starting now,” said Beagle. “It's time for partners to act.” Ooma Airdial stands out in the growing “POTS-in-a-box” market for several reasons: Purpose-Built for Fire Life Safety: Unlike competitors that cobble together multiple technologies, Airdial is a vertically integrated solution—built by Ooma from the ground up for environments like elevators, fire panels, and emergency call systems. MultiPath Transport (MPT): Ooma's patented, active-active voice transmission over LTE and Ethernet ensures emergency calls remain connected without failover delays. Compliance and Visibility: Airdial supports NFPA 72, UL certifications, and PCI/HIPAA regulations, with device-level management available via a robust Remote Device Manager portal. Award-Winning Technology: Airdial has earned accolades from Elevator World, Internet Telephony, FacilitiesNet, and Frost & Sullivan for innovation and reliability. Beagle also underscored how rising costs and decommissioning notices—often buried in telecom bills—are already impacting organizations. In one case, a $100 POTS line was suddenly billed at $1,000 due to a rate hike buried in the fine print. “That's $25,000 in exposure over two months—money that could've gone to laptops in a school district or medical equipment in a hospital,” said Beagle. Airdial's design reflects real-world installation challenges: from basement deployment and signal optimization to asset management and E911 location accuracy. Even the power cord has a locking mechanism to prevent accidental shutdown. “We control the hardware, the software, and the supply chain,” Beagle said. “We believe that's why so many resellers and channel partners are choosing Airdial—and why many who started with other solutions are switching to Ooma.” To learn more, visit ooma.com/airdial.

Is the GTA housing market oversupplied or just misunderstood? In this episode of Sync or Swim, host Max Steinman takes a deep dive into the purpose-built rental market with industry leaders Chrystal LeBlanc (BGO), Michelle Calloway (Fitzrovia), and Todd Spencer (Park Property Inc.). Together, they explore how their organizations are responding to shifting renter preferences, navigating condo oversupply challenges, and redefining the rental experience in the Greater Toronto Area. Tune in for expert advice on navigating Toronto's rental market, practical strategies for adapting to evolving renter expectations, and inspiring lessons from exceptional leaders shaping the future of multifamily housing. Whether you're a property pro, a curious investor, or simply interested in where Toronto's housing market is headed, this episode will leave you informed, inspired, and ready to take action!   Key Points From This Episode:   Purpose-built rental developments in Toronto: affordable, downsizer-friendly, and amenity-rich. Market insights into rental oversupply and condo saturation impacting prices and demand. Key distinctions between condos and purpose-built rentals (and why purpose-built is better!) Michelle's take on the decline in foreign student demand in Toronto rentals. Growing demand for flexible lease terms, dedicated workspaces, and personalized leasing. Insight into the customer service evolution needed to meet changing renter preferences. Strategies the panel has implemented to reduce “shopping around” and close deals faster. Hospitality-inspired practices that are key to elevating the resident experience. Reframing renting as a choice, emphasizing security, community, and modern amenities. Combatting negative stigma around renting and landlords by creating great experiences. New language, fostering renter dignity, and leveraging technology to change perceptions. The panel's reflections on the “promise of Toronto” and why they remain optimistic. Why collaboration and knowledge-sharing among industry peers is critically important. Reasons to create community “stickiness” and what it can to do reduce tenant turnover. Some of the most rewarding aspects of being in the purpose-built rental industry.   Quotes:   “We need to be better at saying why purpose-built rental is different [to condos]. We think about our residents – 24/7 – We need to work harder in the sales pitch to highlight what that means: that our service levels are higher [and] our systems are better.” — Todd Spencer [0:10:26]   “You can spend all the money on marketing in the world, but if you don't step in that front door and have a consistent experience with what you see – online, it can fall flat really quickly.” — Chrystal LeBlanc [0:13:46]   “What I always say is we don't have 500 suites. When a prospect walks in the door, we have three suites for you based on your budget, your family, what's important to you, [and we only show] suites that are right for that prospect.” — Chrystal LeBlanc [0:19:37]   “If we want to be recognized as world cities, we need to behave like world cities. In the rest of the world, renting is not a stigmatized activity. It's actually the dominant housing ecosystem in most major cities in the world.” — Todd Spencer [0:25:19]   “We need to be better at sharing insights with each other in the industry. I invite everybody to come tour my assets not because they're new and shiny but [because] I want to hear what you're doing too. That's going to raise us up altogether.” — Michelle Calloway [0:35:28]   “The [purpose-built rental] industry is changing since I joined 10 years ago. That – excites me. We still have a long way to go. We're not there yet, but I can't wait to see where we go.” — Michelle Calloway [0:40:39]   Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:   Toronto Rentsync User Roadshow 2024 Chrystal LeBlanc BentallGreenOak (BGO) Chrystal LeBlanc on LinkedIn  Michelle Calloway Fitzrovia Michelle Calloway on LinkedIn Todd Spencer Park Property Management Inc.

A Clare tourism company is looking forward to putting a three-year ordeal behind it, with the arrival of its new-purpose built boat. Dolphinwatch Carrigaholt, which offers tours along the coast of Clare as far down as Kerry, has been unable to operate since before the pandemic due the delayed arrival of its new vessel. The boat, which is called Murúch, was supposed to be fully-built in May 2022 but financial difficulties, the war in Ukraine, the pandemic and a fire in the factory have meant it only arrived this month. Owner and Skipper of Dolphinwatch Carrigaholt Mary-Kate Bolger is happy the company is back on course after what has felt like a rudderless few years.

Scott Eckstein shares his unique and diverse background creating solutions for an aging planet. Learn about his current roles as Managing Director of Active Living International and Chief Strategy Officer for CiminoCare Care, challenges curating quality care for his aging loved ones, and passion for educating the next generation of senior living providers.  About Scott Scott Eckstein has over 30 years of diverse research, analysis, development, operations, and education experience in the senior living space. He has been directly involved in senior living projects throughout the United States, South and Central America, Europe, Africa, and Asia and specializes in providing strategic analysis, acquisitions, development, education, and operations advisory solutions for an aging planet. He is currently the Managing Director for Active Living International, an internationally focused senior living advisory firm, as well as Strategic Advisor for CiminoCare, a California-based middle market senior living operator.  Eckstein's senior living experience began in the nascent days of senior housing. He has helped promote the creation of purpose built environments for senior wellness, lifestyles and care as well as having specialized in the creation and operation of a unique range of residential alternatives for the aging population worldwide, from active adult housing through the spectrum to memory care.  Eckstein has held management positions at numerous senior living operators: Brookdale, Emeritus (now Brookdale), Aegis Living, Sunrise Senior Living and ARV Assisted Living (now Atria).  In addition, he was also the Director of Business Development at WellAWARE Systems (now part of Best Buy), a pioneer in the senior tech space. Eckstein was also, the Director of the Senior Living Program at Boston University's School of Hospitality Administration and was a Clinical Assistant Professor and Senior Living Executive in Residence at the Granger Cobb Institute for Senior Living in the Carson College of Business at Washington State University (in which whose formation he was actively involved.) Key Takeaways A career in senior living and aging services is impactful because of the ability to make a difference in people's lives for a few years rather than a few days in a hotel or resort. There are incredible opportunities, but the industries don't market themselves well. Active adult (55+) communities serve a younger age bracket needing minimal care. The category overlaps with wellness real estate and intergenerational housing. Independent living adds care services and attracts people in their late 70s and 80s. One of the biggest problems in the active adult housing market is residents don't want to leave as they age and need higher levels of care. In the United States, you can't push people out legally. The biggest challenges in senior living are related to management, leadership, training, and culture. They are intricately related. The silent generation and baby boomers are focused on wellness and technology, so senior living communities are incorporating Centers for Healthy Living with massage rooms, fitness equipment and aging-related retail. Most communities offer telehealth post covid, and some offer a tech concierge. The most important questions to ask an assisted living community before signing on the dotted line include the turnover of team members and the training they receive, the flexible (or lack of) of the dining options. Dining is the major issue beyond care.

And despite her success, she's more likely to talk about how bad she is at karaoke than about how good she is at building operationally excellent companies and teams.In the latest episode of Change Enablers, Robin opens up and reflects on the highs and lows of scaling operations at Clearbit—with advice for operators at all levels. Robin and Ken cover:• how much in Operations is process and how much is people• not getting ahead of yourself at a small-stage company• Robin's experience joining Clearbit when they had more tools than people, and how she approached her role to simplify things• processes are processes, no matter how informal (and sometimes the simplest solution = the most elegant one)• the influence that team dynamics play in making or breaking operations at a company• how to effectively set up a team early on to achieve optimal productivity• documenting your playbooks, even if you're the only player• what her team was able to focus on once she freed up their time to be creative Where to find Robin Spencer:• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robinbspencer/Where to find your host, Ken: • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kenbabcock/• Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/bigredbabz• Change Enablers, a community by Tango: https://www.tango.us/change-enablers-communityLike what you heard?

Jeannie founded Funding U to provide a responsible loan option for academically achieving, low income students who needed last gap funds to complete college, but for whom the only available options were high interest rate credit cards. Her drive to solve this problem came from a decade of working in education nonprofits in Atlanta and an understanding that a mother's education level holds the single strongest correlation to outcomes of infant mortality, child literacy, household employment and income, and likelihood to live in poverty. Today, Funding U has originated $42M in affordable student loans to more than 4000 academically achieving undergraduates, 40% of whom are from families with income of $40,000 or less, and 60% are first generation 4-year college students. In 2020, the Company launched a Platform as a Service product, “Powered by Funding U,” which provides end to end data and technology solutions for organizations that want to provide outcomes based, income share repayment loan options for low income or other marginalized Americans. Funding U has raised ~$80M in equity and debt financing from investors including Goldman Sachs, Mackenzie Scott and Deciens Capital. Prior to starting Funding U, Jeannie was the first employee of the Atlanta Girls' School in Atlanta, Georgia, where she acted as Founding Director of Admissions. She then became Director of Development for Literacy Action and then worked for the Rollins Center for Early Literacy at the Atlanta Speech School as a Strategic Consultant. She is a currently a Trustee of Atlanta Girls' School, served on the Emory Board of Visitors from 2017 to 2019, was a Founding Board Member of Girls on the Run, Atlanta, 1998-2001, and was the first alumna trustee of The Lawrenceville School, Lawrenceville, New Jersey, 1994-1996.Jeannie is a graduate of Princeton University, where she obtained a B.A. cum laude, in English Literature and American Studies. She has launched three other successful ‘startups' - her children, Anna, Peter, and Robert - ages 22, 21, and 18. Jeannie joins me today, we start at a very high level about the industry in this conversation, we get very tactical for early stage founders.“I feel I fight and resist and tell my team to resist any binary conversations or a binary way of thinking.” - Jeannie TarkentonConnect with Jeannie on LinkedInSubscribe, Rate & Share Your Favorite Episodes!Thanks for tuning into today's episode of Startups For Good with your host, Miles Lasater.

Show Notes In this episode, Will Bachman explains how independent consultants can set up and use a paid CRM system.  While a spreadsheet is a great place to start when setting up a CRM system as it is free, and can help you understand which features of a paid system you would like to have, Will explains why, at one point,  you might want to upgrade to a paid CRM system, and how CRM systems offer advantages over spreadsheets when tracking contacts, opportunities, and projects. Advantages of a CRM System over a Spreadsheet One advantage is that you can add documents to the categories mentioned in the previous episode: contacts, company and/or opportunity. Other features can include the ability to add notes from discussions to  keep track of customer interactions, automated reminders, and tracking customer feedback.  The CRM system provides the ability to attach documents, such as resumes for potential subcontractors, and add notes from conversations. It also allows for a photo of the contact to be attached, as well as other fields like name, title, employer, education, location, and LinkedIn profiles. Custom fields can also be created to track newsletters, gifts sent and received, and who introduced you to the contact.  Will explains how CRM systems sync with the user's emails and the contacts' emails, making it easier to track emails from multiple addresses.  Using a CRM System for Opportunities The CRM system also allows the user to track and easily see all the project opportunities associated with your contacts. Additionally, the user can tag contacts, opportunities, and projects with an  industry tag, or functional tags, or skill-based or discreet defined tags, making it easier to categorize and track these elements. Using a CRM system to Manage Tasks Using a CRM system has several advantages. One of these is the ability to easily manage tasks. This can be done by adding task tags to contacts or projects and then viewing them all in one place, whether that is to follow up with a contact or submit a proposal, and you can easily mark them as done or change dates etc.  Another advantage is the ability to easily manage opportunities. It is possible to have a visual view, with columns for the status of each project, and have the ability to drag and move the tiles. A third advantage is the ability to customize the names for the stages of an opportunity. These stages include identified opportunity, completed context discussion, submitted proposal, and finally whether the project was ‘lost'  or if it is ‘1 Active', or ‘1 Completed'. Additionally, when a project is moved from one stage to another, a pop up will appear asking for the reason. You could also add other stages such as ‘On Hold' to remind you to follow up at a later date, and you could add a ‘Future Opportunity' tab to remind you to follow up about it. You can also add documents to opportunities to keep all that information in one place and easy to access. Another useful feature is to add reports to give insight into projects won and lost. You can also easily add other users to give easy access to team members, but you also maintain control over the system to ensure no-one accidentally deletes or changes information.  Researching CRM Systems Will also explains how to set up a paid CRM system, such as choosing a provider, setting up user roles, and integrating the system into your workflow. Lastly, he talks about the importance of finding the right CRM system that suits your needs. Will recommends starting with a spreadsheet to get an idea of how you need to structure the information you need, and then look into resources on Umbrex.com where you will find information on CRM systems used by members.   Timestamps 00:01 The benefits of using a purpose-built CRM system 02:38 The benefits of a CRM system for tracking contacts 03:49 Creating custom fields 04:57 The benefits of a CRM system for tracking opportunities and projects  07:36 Stages of opportunities in a CRM system 11:18 Adding users to the CRM system Links: Notes on using a purpose-built CRM system: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SfVS9cB_YtmTgtRoBb1hWAxo-qy1vbC6BqiOKtTpEFo/edit?usp=sharing
