Send us Fan MailIn this thought-provoking Floc It Friday episode, Rudy Stankowitz takes a step away from chemistry myths, manufacturer sound-offs, and social media debates to explore a topic that has generated considerable discussion in both the pool industry and online communities: natural swimming pools. Drawing from four peer-reviewed scientific studies provided by Professor Charles Gerba, Rudy examines what the current scientific literature actually says about biological water treatment systems, pathogen control, microbial communities, and public health.Before diving into the science, Rudy also shares a personal message recognizing National PTSD Awareness Month, discussing the unseen challenges many industry professionals carry and reminding listeners that they are never alone in their struggles. In This Episode Why natural swimming pools represent a fundamentally different philosophy from traditional disinfected pools  The role of biological treatment systems, regeneration zones, gravel beds, and microbial communities  A review of a documented 2001 German outbreak involving more than 200 illnesses associated with a public nature-like swimming pond  What researchers discovered about swimmer exposure, water ingestion, and viral transmission  The findings of a Canadian risk assessment examining pathogen behavior in natural swimming ponds  How filtration rates, turnover times, and treatment efficiency influence health outcomes  The potential role of UV disinfection and why questions remain about its interaction with biological ecosystems  Research from Spain examining microbial populations and fecal contamination in natural swimming pools  Wildlife as a potential source of contamination in recreational waters  The importance of biofilms and the complex microbial communities that inhabit them  Why cyanobacteria, algae, and aquatic microbiology continue to raise important scientific questions  The challenges of identifying microbial populations without site-specific testing  What a 2024 One Health review reveals about algae, cyanobacteria, recreational water quality, and public health  The difference between visible water quality and the unseen biological processes occurring beneath the surface  Why scientific uncertainty is not a weakness, but a critical part of the scientific process Key TakeawayThe current scientific literature does not conclude that natural swimming pools are inherently unsafe, nor does it suggest that all questions surrounding their operation have been answered. Instead, the research consistently points toward the need for continued study, monitoring, challenge testing, and a deeper understanding of the biological communities responsible for water treatment. As Rudy emphasizes throughout the episode, science advances not by defending positions, but by asking better questions. Topics Discussed Natural swimming pools  Biological water treatment  Recreational water health risks  Pathogen control  Biofilms  Cyanobacteria  Algae ecology  Public health  Water quality monitoring  Environmental microbiology  Charles Gerba  Risk assessment  One Health research Mentioned During the Episode Professor Charles Gerba  Canadian Natural Swimming Pool Risk Assessment  German Nature-Like Swimming Pond Outbreak Investigation  Spanish Natural Swimming Pool Microbial Study  2024 One Health Review on Algae and Recreational Waters  National PTSD Awareness Month SponsorsThe 2026 Talking Pools Podcast Pool Industry Mentor Award is proudly supported by: BlueRay XL  LaMotte Company  Revved Up Apparel  Aqua Comfort Water Group Research on Natural Pools https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QpahWoVh3DDoNPwdw3oFsnbmUEj_umrS/view?usp=sharingConnect With Talking Pools

Today we’re going to take you to a sleepy pocket of Japan’s countryside called Myoko. Located about a three-hour train ride from Tokyo, Myoko was said to be one of the oldest ski areas in Japan, where it once saw young skiers streaming along its neon-lit streets. That was, of course, during the economic boom back in the 1980s and 1990s, before ski-lovers swapped Myoko for other popular destinations like Niseko in Hokkaido and Hakuba in Nagano. But one Singaporean company is hoping to inject life back into the area by buying up ski resorts in Myoko and the nearby Madarao, and building an integrated township out of them. And that company is called Patience Capital Group. Founded in 2019 by the former head of Japan at Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC Ken Chan, Patience Capital Group manages assets on behalf of institutional and private investors worldwide. The firm says it currently manages two close-ended funds. The first is a hospitality fund focused on unlocking value in the Japanese tourism sector, and that’s where the ski resorts come in. The fund, in particular, was said to have raised 39 billion yen from institutional investors ranging from sovereign wealth funds to a university endowment fund. The other close-ended fund, meanwhile, is a residential fund investing in mid-market residential assets located in the Greater Tokyo Area. Beyond that, the firm also has a lifestyle vertical that aims to create a suite of consumer experiences and businesses to complement its portfolio and encourage placemaking in its destinations. But how will the various business operations under Patience Capital Group come together to create viable recreational townships in Japan? Meanwhile, the firm says it is tapping into the Japanese tourism and residential markets given a rise in investors’ interest in the country amid relatively low cost of capital. But how much money is in the Myoko and Madarao areas exactly and what are the risks of pulling off a transformation project of this size? How sustainable is the tourism boom in Japan for long-term infrastructure projects in both the recreational and residential space? On Under the Radar, finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Ken Chan, CEO, Patience Capital Group.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to your weekly UAS News Update, We have four stories for you this week: the FAA publishes TFRs for the 2026 World Cup, North Dakota cuts BVLOS waiver times down to just 23 days, Flock Safety pushes the limits of police drone cameras, and a Walmart drone delivery pad sparks a local zoning fight in North Carolina. Let's get to it.First up this week, the FAA has officially published the venue list, dates, and airspace dimensions for the FIFA World Cup 2026 flight restrictions. If you're flying in any of the host cities, you'll want to pay attention to this.Eleven U.S. stadiums are getting three-nautical-mile radius restriction up to 3,000 feet above ground level on every match day. Twelve fan festivals are getting a tighter one-nautical-mile ring up to 1,000 feet, and several of these stay active continuously for weeks! In addition, hotels and practice sites are also getting a 1NM TFRs, even in cities that won't be hosting games. This is a reminder that LAANC authorization buys you absolutely NO exemption inside an active TFR, this is for both Part 107 operators and Recreational pilots. The FAA is also using their DETER program to fast-track enforcement.Next up, North Dakota has managed to cut Beyond Visual Line of Sight waiver times from months down to just 23 business days. This is happening through the state's Vantis network, which covers more than 5,000 square miles of managed airspace. They recently activated the FAA's Federal Radar Enclave, which feeds the network the exact same real-time radar data that federal air traffic controllers use. Because the network handles the detect-and-avoid safety case, operators who join inherit that approval work instead of starting from scratch. Frontier Precision just joined as an operator, and their waiver covers any NDAA-compliant platform under 55 pounds flying within the Vantis service volumes.In our third story this week, Flock Safety is pushing the camera specs on its American-made Alpha drone as the Drone as First Responder market heats up. Flock claims the Alpha's gimbaled camera can read a vehicle license plate from up to 2,000 feet away. The payload combines multi-sensor optics, high-definition thermal imaging, low-light sensors, and a laser rangefinder. If you aren't familiar, the Alpha tops out at 60 mph and claims a flight time of up to 45 minutes. It also features a dual battery-swapping dock with climate control that gets the drone airborne again in under 90 seconds. In addition, the drone is designed and assembled in Atlanta, Georgia, and is fully NDAA-compliant. Last up, a Walmart drone delivery pad has turned into a major zoning fight in Lincoln County, North Carolina.  Walmart wants to build a small drone launch area in the parking lot of its Denver, North Carolina store to expand its Wing-operated delivery service. However, more than 200 neighbors have signed a petition to stop it, citing concerns over privacy, noise, and wildlife. The Wing delivery drones are hybrid aircraft that take off vertically and then fly on fixed wings. They weigh about 11 pounds and carry a 2.5-pound payload, though a newer model can carry up to 5 pounds. They cruise at 60 mph at about 150 feet above the ground with a 6-mile radius. When they arrive, they don't land, but instead hover at about 23 feet and lower the package on a tether. While the FAA already governs the airspace and has cleared this kind of delivery, local county commissioners control the land-use zoning for the launchpad itself.That's it for this week, see you next week for Post flight where we'll discuss these stories uncensored, live Q&A on Monday, and News update on Friday! https://dronexl.co/2026/06/02/flock-alpha-camera-drone-dfr-push/https://dronexl.co/2026/06/02/north-dakota-bvlos-waivers-23/https://dronexl.co/2026/05/31/faa-publishes-world-cup-tfr-venue-list/https://dronexl.co/2026/06/02/walmart-drone-pad-zoning-fight-in-nc/

Coach Caroline and Coach Valerie talk about the “day two runner” and why the average recreational runner needs a different kind of coaching than the elite or professional athlete. The conversation starts with the reality that major races are expanding and attracting huge numbers of everyday runners, which means more people need support, guidance, and a standard of running that is built around efficiency, injury prevention, and long-term progress rather than just chasing speed.Valerie explains why injuries have stayed just as common even as shoes, braces, and tape have improved, and why the real solution is not more gear but better movement. She shares how she went from running marathons in the eights to racing in the sixes after learning how to fall, accelerate, and train intervals correctly. The episode also covers the value of gait analysis, Zoom coaching, and check-ins, plus the importance of learning to activate the glutes and hamstrings so the hip flexors do not do all the work.Key takeawaysRecreational runners need a different coaching approach than elite or professional runners.More gear has not solved the injury problem; movement quality is still the key issue.A standard of running helps every runner, no matter their age, pace, or distance goals.Learning how to fall and train intervals can improve speed without just working harder.Gait analysis, Zoom coaching, and regular check-ins help runners make faster progress.Hamstring and glute activation are essential because the hip flexors often try to take over.Coachability and repetition are what help movement become natural for life.Where to find us ▶️ Free 30-Day RunRX Reboot — Skill, Strength & Self-Care https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0N-GZ0AosI&list=PLDPcF8ZrDdILC8bYyn2zR-4xvqKRzp2re▶️ Join the RunRX Membership https://runrx.fit/join-runrxstrongWebsite: https://runrx.fit App: RunRx Academy — search “RunRx Academy” on Apple App Store or Google Play Support email: support@runrx.fit

Former professional triathlete Colin Chartier joins Matt for a wide-ranging and controversial conversation about doping in endurance sport, the realities of EPO use and testing loopholes, and how his life changed after receiving a three-year suspension following a positive test in 2023. * We apologise for the poor audio quality in this podcast episode at times * Ground App: https://groundapp.live/ Collin Chartier Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/collinchartier/ Be coached by Matt: https://www.sweatelitecoaching.com/coaching-2026 Join the Shareholders Club / Private Podcast Feed: https://www.sweatelite.co/shareholders Matt Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattinglisfox/ Matt Training Log - Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/6248359/ Contact Matt: matt@sweatelite.co Chartier was once ranked 11th in the world and won both Ironman Mont-Tremblant (2022) and the PTO US Open before his career came crashing down. He speaks openly about the pressure that narrowed his identity entirely around performance and winning, why he chose to dope, how easily substances can be sourced online and through clinics, and how many athletes likely understand testing loopholes far better than the public realizes. He details the day of his EPO test in Girona, Spain, including taking an out-of-hours call from testers while swimming and later realizing he could have avoided the test entirely. Colin also discusses the emotional aftermath, the advice he received to immediately accept responsibility, and an offer from the ITA for a reduced "silent ban" in exchange for substantial assistance that he says he was unable to provide. The conversation then shifts toward identity, shame, mental health, and rebuilding life after elite sport. Colin explains how a long solo bikepacking trip through Mexico, Central America, and Colombia eventually led him toward breathwork and nervous-system regulation practices that became transformative for him personally. Matt and Colin also discuss how widespread doping may actually be in recreational endurance sport, peptides and recovery technologies, the ethics of the Enhanced Games, and whether modern anti-doping systems are truly effective. Colin closes by discussing the launch of GroundApp - an iOS breathwork and nervous-system regulation app that integrates wearable data and emotional state tracking - as well as his upcoming 2,000-mile run from Denver to Washington, DC beginning June 10.

Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals.  On today's episode, we are back in the studio with Travis Murray. We discuss: Land scarcity drives long-term demand. Inflation often pushes land values higher. Recreational buyers still dominate many markets. Overpaying usually comes from emotional buying. Land behaves differently than housing markets. Every tract has unique value drivers. Ethical representation matters in land deals. Infrastructure improvements rarely fully return value. Buyers should focus on long-term ownership goals. Land remains attractive during uncertain markets. And so much more!

FARM BILL BATTLES, FERAL HOG CRISIS, AND THE FIGHT FOR AMERICA'S FARMS This hard-hitting episode of Rural Route with Trent Loos delivers a powerful look at the biggest challenges facing American agriculture today. Joined by Jay Truitt from Texas, Trent dives straight into the chaos surrounding the Farm Bill, exposing growing uncertainty in Congress and raising serious concerns about government expansion, policy shifts, and the future of rural America. The conversation pulls back the curtain on political maneuvering, highlighting how key provisions are being reshaped and what it means for farmers, ranchers, and producers across the country. The discussion doesn't stop there. Trent and Jay tackle the rising threat of feral hogs—an out-of-control crisis devastating farmland, spreading disease, and threatening food production. They question whether massive government spending will solve the problem or make it worse, while calling for stronger biosecurity and real, common-sense solutions. From global food aid debates to the economic reality of feeding the world, this episode challenges viewers to think critically about America's role on the global stage. The conversation also shines a spotlight on the dairy industry's rapid growth and the obstacles holding it back, including water concerns, local resistance, and questions about long-term sustainability. And it's not all policy—listeners also get a glimpse into the culture of rural life, from horse racing headlines to the fascinating world of mule competitions. But the message is clear: America's farmers are facing serious pressure, and the time for leadership, accountability, and action is now.

In this episode, I sit down with Bill and Danielle Beer — a married couple of 20 years, parents of five, and one of the most genuinely connected pairs we've ever had on this show. Bill is a physician and Dad Edge Alliance member of four and a half years. Danielle is a former military spouse, internal processor, and the kind of woman who quietly holds everything together while pushing her husband to go take care of himself. Their story starts in college — Bill surviving leukemia at 16, making his own treatment decisions to preserve his fertility, and then secretly applying to the cancer camp where Danielle was a counselor. That same dock where they had their first kiss is where Bill proposed three years later. Twenty years and five kids later, they're still building — and they're willing to talk about all of it. We get into what Bill was actually like before the Alliance — the poking, the picking fights when he needed connection but didn't have the vocabulary, the "happy wife happy life" mentality taken to such an extreme that Danielle stopped sharing hard days because she didn't want to be the reason Bill felt like he was failing. We talk about the weekly marriage meeting, ballroom dancing as a date night game changer, why they go to counseling when nothing is broken, and the moment Bill's 16-year-old daughter looked at him at the grocery store and said "your needs matter, dad." This one is warm, funny, real, and deeply practical.   Timeline Summary [0:00] Introduction to the Dad Edge mission and the movement to raise leaders of families and communities [1:02] What Bill was looking for when he joined the Alliance — and the nudge Danielle gave him [6:33] Bill's leukemia diagnosis at 16 and the treatment decision he made to preserve his fertility [11:39] How they met at a cancer camp — and how Bill secretly applied after their first conversation [12:37] The dock proposal — same spot as their first kiss, fake run, hidden photographer [15:47] 20 years married, five kids, and a surprise trip to Hawaii Bill planned entirely himself [24:13] The moment Bill heard something in the group that Danielle had said for years — and why it landed differently [27:30] What poking and picking fights actually was — Bill seeking connection without the vocabulary to ask for it [29:51] Happy wife happy life taken too far — how it created pressure on Danielle and closed her off [33:37] The shift from avoiding divorce to asking "how do I actually want to be married?" [36:16] The weekly marriage meeting — appreciations, needs, big three, then logistics [38:07] Larry and Jessica in counseling right now — not because something is broken, but because the season demands it [40:38] Ballroom dancing as recreational intimacy — and why going even when you're annoyed always works [44:15] What Danielle finds most attractive about how Bill has evolved [46:11] Bill's people-pleasing taken to the extreme — and the day his 16-year-old daughter said "your needs matter, dad" [52:50] What they're most excited about for the next 20 years — and the four-year-old who starts every dinner with appreciations   Five Key Takeaways Your wife can't be your only outlet. When she carries everything you can't process, she runs out of capacity — and eventually stops sharing her own hard days because she doesn't want to be the reason you feel like you're failing. Happy wife happy life taken too far puts undue pressure on your spouse to perform happiness for your peace of mind. Happy spouse, happy house — everybody's needs matter, including yours. The shift from avoiding divorce to intentionally building a marriage changes everything. Stop asking "are we okay?" and start asking "how do I actually want to be married?" Recreational intimacy — doing something physical or creative together before a date — puts connection on steroids. The conversation that follows feels completely different than sitting down cold. Your needs matter. When a man learns to take care of himself, he comes back better every single time — for his wife, his kids, and everyone around him.   Links & Resources Dad Edge Alliance & Business Boardroom: https://thedadedge.com/mastermind The Men's Forge: https://themensforge.com Episode Link & Resources (Episode 1471): https://thedadedge.com/1471   Closing If there's one message from this episode that stands out, it's this: marriage and fatherhood are learnable skills — and it is never too late to start learning them. Bill Beer survived cancer at 16, spent the first decade of his marriage white-knuckling happiness for everyone around him, and then decided to go do the work. And what Danielle noticed wasn't a different man — it was more of the man she fell in love with on that dock. That's the goal. Not perfection. Not arriving. Just more of who you actually are, showing up more consistently, for the people who matter most. Go out and live legendary.
