AAPL President Kyle Reynolds sheds light on the landman compensation crisis that's threatening the industry's future. While attorney salaries jumped 76% since 2000, field landmen still earn the same $400-500 day rates they have for the past 25 years. That puts them below the living wage in most markets. Reynolds shares AAPL's strategic plan to address the talent shortage before 40-50% of field landmen retire, plus insights on recruiting across oil, gas, and renewables.What You'll LearnWhy field landman day rates haven't increased since 2000, despite doubled costsThe real numbers behind the landman talent shortage and aging workforceHow AAPL is tackling compensation conversations without price-fixingWhy field experience matters more than ever for career advancementSmart strategies for justifying higher contractor rates to operatorsTime Stamps00:42 - Episode & Guest Intro00:54 - Kyle's Journey as AAPL President02:15 - The Evolving Role of Landmen02:45 - Impact of Media and Education on Landmen04:31 - Recruitment and Training Challenges07:44 - Field vs. In-House Landmen11:37 - The Importance of Mentorship17:51 - Economic Realities and Compensation26:46 - The Future of Landmen and Technology35:11 - Understanding Brokerage Fees and Costs36:10 - The Importance of Skilled Labor in Drilling Projects37:54 - The Value of Investing in Quality Landmen38:49 - Challenges and Strategies in Land Management47:18 - The Debate on Licensing for Landmen51:35 - Innovative Approaches to Land ManagementSnippets from the Episode"Field landman day rates have been pretty stagnant, $400 to $500 a day in 2000, and that's still what they're making today.

 Amid crackdowns by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, some are turning to serve for the U.S. military in order to receive protections for their undocumented family members. The Parole in Place program provides a protection from deportation for undocumented parents and spouses of military members.

In this episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, Sean V. Bradley sits down with Gina Anguilla of CallSource for a conversation that challenges how most dealerships think about their service department, and the role the Service BDC plays behind the scenes. Not only that, we uncover if you're missing out on thousands of dollars of potential revenue! "Fixed ops should be 65% of the dealership's overall revenue. And if you're doing it the right way, your fixed ops revenue should cover 100% of all of your operational expenses." – Sean V. Bradley This isn't a surface-level discussion about appointments or scripts. It's a deeper look at how service operations, customer communication, and long-term retention quietly determine whether a dealership thrives or struggles. Sean and Gina explore why treating service like a silo is costing dealers more than they realize, and why the smartest operators are starting to rethink the entire ecosystem! "Having a service BDC ensures that there's a managed process for keeping communication timely, efficient, and effective with your guests." – Gina Anguilla From overlooked touchpoints to missed opportunities hiding in plain sight, this episode shines a light on the side of the dealership that truly keeps everything moving. If you've ever wondered why some stores build loyalty effortlessly while others constantly chase new customers, this conversation will make you stop and listen! "We are bringing an ecosystem that drives consistent and predictable service revenue by improving customer retention, communication, and engagement." – Gina Anguilla Because when service works the right way, everything else follows. Tune in… this one might change how you see your dealership. ps.

She started her career at Dealer Synergy, where she honed her skills in automotive telephony and BDC (Business Development Center) management. Currently, Gina is affiliated with CallSource Automotive, a company renowned for improving service departments through call tracking and management. Her expertise lies in the strategic implementation of outbound and inbound communication processes that enhance customer service and retention in the automotive service sector!   The Critical Role of Service BDC in Optimizing Dealership Performance In the ever-evolving automotive landscape, dealerships must juggle various operational aspects to remain competitive. Among these, the importance of an effective Service Business Development Center (BDC) stands out. Integrating a service BDC addresses multiple dealership challenges, optimizing revenue and enhancing customer satisfaction. This thought leadership article delves into the core aspects of setting up and maintaining a successful service BDC, as highlighted in a recent discussion between Sean V. Bradley and Gina Anguilla. Key Takeaways Efficient service BDCs are pivotal for maintaining dealership revenue and customer satisfaction. Utilizing a specialized service BDC allows dealerships to manage appointment scheduling better and improve CSI scores. Outsourcing the service BDC can alleviate managerial burdens and enhance call handling effectiveness. The Imperative of Service BDC for Dealership Revenue Dealerships have various revenue streams, and fixed operations, including servicing, play a vital role. As Sean V. Bradley points out, "Nada says that fixed ops should be 65% of the dealership's overall revenue." This highlights the monumental contribution that the service department can make to the dealership's financial health. Yet, not all dealerships are equipped with an efficient service BDC to maximize this potential. Bradley argues that a well-structured service BDC can ensure that "more service appointments" get scheduled, aligning them with customer convenience rather than the commission-driven schedules of service writers. Expanding on this, Gina Anguilla notes that service departments are the "bread and butter" of dealerships. By focusing on the customer's needs rather than solely on sales, dealerships can foster an ecosystem that thrives on customer loyalty and repeat business. The repercussions of neglecting a service BDC are far-reaching. Without it, dealerships may struggle to manage operations effectively, thereby compromising customer satisfaction and potential revenue. Emphasizing a holistic approach, Bradley states, "You need to have both sides. You can't be at the gym and just working out your arms." This analogy underscores the need for a balanced focus on both sales and service components. Streamlining Service Scheduling to Enhance Customer Satisfaction A key function of a service BDC is managing service appointments efficiently. The traditional approach often results in service writers scheduling appointments based on their convenience, which is not always customer-centric. Bradley highlights, "A lot of times service writers don't make appointments for service that's the most convenient for the prospect." By employing a service BDC, dealerships can prioritize the customer's convenience, leading to enhanced Customer Service Index (CSI) scores. Anguilla emphasizes, "Having the service, having a BDC or a scheduling department… is the best way to make sure that your customers are serviced, that they're heard." Beyond just ensuring appointments are made, a service BDC facilitates a proactive approach to managing customer needs and dealership goals. By separating responsibilities between inbound scheduling and outbound service reminders, as Anguilla suggests, dealerships can ensure both immediate coordination and long-term customer retention goals are met. Outsourcing: A Strategic Move for Efficient BDC Operations For many dealerships, managing a BDC in-house can become daunting. Recruitment, training, and maintaining staff involve substantial ongoing efforts and financial investment. Outsourcing the BDC emerges as a strategic alternative, as indicated by Bradley and Anguilla. Outsourcing eliminates the need for dealerships to continually manage human resource challenges, allowing them to focus resources on core business activities. Bradley articulates this benefit, noting, "If you're not a service BDC expert, why are you going to fumble through it?" Instead, specialized outsourced BDC services, like those from CallSource, can provide reliable management and expertise. Moreover, outsourcing partners are often equipped with advanced technologies and training programs that in-house teams may lack. Anguilla echoes this sentiment by emphasizing that outsourced services ensure the management of "communication, connection retention" without the dealership bearing the brunt of those tasks. This approach not only improves the efficiency of call handling but also ensures consistent customer communication and service delivery. Building a Future-Ready Service BDC To build a successful service BDC, dealerships should begin by assessing their current service call handling capacities and identifying where improvements can be made. Sean V. Bradley and Gina Anguilla provide a pathway forward, where dealerships embrace a structured approach to both inbound and outbound service communication strategies. Introducing a service BDC begins with focusing on the core — efficient service scheduling. From there, expanding into proactive outbound communications such as service follow-ups and management of declined repairs ensures a comprehensive contact strategy. With these foundational elements, dealerships position themselves to improve customer retention and operational efficiency, driving long-term profitability. Increasingly, dealerships recognize that expert partners, equipped with advanced technology solutions and proven strategies, offer valuable support. By outsourcing service BDC operations, they leverage specialized expertise that enhances both customer experience and dealership revenue. With clear benefits in efficiency, cost, and performance, embracing a service BDC — whether through in-house teams or specialized partners — is an investment in a dealership's future success. In the competitive arena of automotive sales and service, a robust Service BDC model is no longer a luxury; it's a necessity for thriving in today's market.     Resources + Our Proud Sponsors: ➼ The Millionaire Car Salesman Facebook Group: Join the #1 Automotive Sales Mastermind Facebook Group with over 29,000 automotive professionals worldwide.

The latest installment of The Chad & Cheese Podcast kicks off 2026 with a skeleton crew and a surplus of snark. While Chad Sowash is busy plotting his escape to the beach, Joel Cheesman, J.T. O'Donnell, and Lieven dive into a workforce landscape that feels more like a digital battlefield than a job market. The trio explores why today's entry-level talent might be fundamentally "broken" by recent history and how a new wave of high-tech sabotage—involving hidden AI commands—is forcing platforms like Indeed to overhaul their defenses. Between roasts of industry giants and a deep dive into "agentic" automation, the panel questions if the traditional act of "applying" for a job is officially dead. The chaos doesn't stop at the office door, as the conversation swerves into the bizarre intersection of professional networking and romantic snooping. From high-level CEO shuffles at Oyster and Textio to a major university scandal involving a fake Einstein quote, this episode exposes the growing pains of an AI-saturated world. Whether it's a "desperate" new ad campaign from ZipRecruiter or the strange rise of job hunting on dating apps, the crew connects the dots between global trends and absolute industry absurdity.

In this episode of The Huddle Breakdown Extra Time, we dissect the unconvincing 1-0 victory over Falkirk and ask if the "chaos" has actually left with Wilfried Nancy. James explains why he is "offended as an analyst" by the double standard in how the performance is being judged compared to the previous regime, while Alan praises John McGlynn's "Gasperini-esque" tactics that put Celtic under the most pressure since 2019. We also launch a scathing critique of the "grossly incompetent" transfer strategy, debating why Sean Maloney is being left to run a window he isn't qualified for, and why we desperately need four "competent" signings to save the league title.Want to support the channel? - https://huddlebreakdown.comLike this video and want more content like it?

"Resumés don't actually have that much useful information; your experience as a candidate can vary wildly based on the environment that you're in and your motivations to perform."   In this Best of Series episode, we replay a chat we had in 2019 with Psychometrics Guru, Justin McNamara, on improving recruitment selection, performance prediction and acing psychometric tests.  

The conversation covers various topics including the Chinese calendar and the Year of the Horse, new World Cup soccer balls, club soccer updates, choosing a club based on coach vs. club, the integration of NPL and RL, thoughts on the integration and its impact, and a discussion on club requirements and regionalized play. The integration of NPL and RL is a significant theme throughout the conversation, highlighting the impact on club soccer and player development. The conversation covers the introduction of a unified postseason for NPL teams and its impact on recruitment due to grade year changes. It also delves into the implications of these changes on player development and the overall improvement of the game.TakeawaysYear of the HorseIntegration of NPL and RLClub-based system and coaching progression Unified postseason for NPL teamsImpact of grade year changes on recruitmentChapters00:00 Discussion on Club Requirements and Regionalized Play26:12 Grade Year Changes and Recruitment

In this episode, we break down the sacking of Rúben Amorim, what went wrong during his time at Old Trafford, and why the problems at Manchester United feel deeper than any one manager. From tactical confusion and recruitment failures to fan frustration and an ongoing identity crisis, we ask the uncomfortable questions about where this club is really heading.We're joined by Paul Cocks, coach at Curzon Ashton and a regular at Old Trafford, who brings a unique perspective from both the touchline and the stands. Paul shares his views on Amorim's tenure, the expectations placed on United managers, and what fans truly want to see from their team moving forward.The conversation also dives into recruitment and squad building, the club's approach to youth development, and the growing discussion around Kobbie Mainoo. To close, we run through a rapid-fire YES or NO on potential managerial candidates and ask the big question:

In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, we sit down with Kristen A. Pressner, Global Head of People & Culture at Roche Diagnostics UK & Ireland, to unpack why neurodiversity may be the single biggest untapped advantage in the post-AI workplace.Kristen explains why most organisations are sitting on “free upside”, talented people already inside the business who are not thriving because work was designed for one type of brain. She shares why only ~25% of employees feel psychologically safe, and why the line manager is the biggest determinant of whether neurodivergent employees thrive or merely survive.Most importantly, she reframes neurodiversity away from labels and diagnoses, and toward practical, human questions, how do you work best, what gives you energy, and what conditions help you shine, and why asking those questions changes performance, engagement, and learning at scale.

Topics covered in this episode: ty: An extremely fast Python type checker and LSP Python Supply Chain Security Made Easy typing_extensions MI6 chief: We'll be as fluent in Python as we are in Russian Extras Joke Watch on YouTube About the show Connect with the hosts Michael: @mkennedy@fosstodon.org / @mkennedy.codes (bsky) Brian: @brianokken@fosstodon.org / @brianokken.bsky.social Show: @pythonbytes@fosstodon.org / @pythonbytes.fm (bsky) Join us on YouTube at pythonbytes.fm/live to be part of the audience.

Add your name and email to our friends of the show list, we'll never share it. Brian #1: ty: An extremely fast Python type checker and LSP Charlie Marsh announced the Beta release of ty on Dec 16 “designed as an alternative to tools like mypy, Pyright, and Pylance.” Extremely fast even from first run Successive runs are incremental, only rerunning necessary computations as a user edits a file or function. This allows live updates. Includes nice visual diagnostics much like color enhanced tracebacks Extensive configuration control Nice for if you want to gradually fix warnings from ty for a project Also released a nice VSCode (or Cursor) extension Check the docs. There are lots of features. Also a note about disabling the default language server (or disabling ty's language server) so you don't have 2 running Michael #2: Python Supply Chain Security Made Easy We know about supply chain security issues, but what can you do? Typosquatting (not great) Github/PyPI account take-overs (very bad) Enter pip-audit. Run it in two ways: Against your installed dependencies in current venv As a proper unit test (so when running pytest or CI/CD). Let others find out first, wait a week on all dependency updates: uv pip compile requirements.piptools --upgrade --output-file requirements.txt --exclude-newer "1 week" Follow up article: DevOps Python Supply Chain Security Create a dedicated Docker image for testing dependencies with pip-audit in isolation before installing them into your venv. Run pip-compile / uv lock --upgrade to generate the new lock file Test in a ephemeral pip-audit optimized Docker container Only then if things pass, uv pip install / uv sync Add a dedicated Docker image build step that fails the docker build step if a vulnerable package is found. Brian #3: typing_extensions Kind of a followup on the deprecation warning topic we were talking about in December. prioinv on Mastodon notified us that the project typing-extensions includes it as part of the backport set. The warnings.deprecated decorator is new to Python 3.13, but with typing-extensions, you can use it in previous versions. But typing_extesions is way cooler than just that. The module serves 2 purposes: Enable use of new type system features on older Python versions. Enable experimentation with type system features proposed in new PEPs before they are accepted and added to the typing module. So cool. There's a lot of features here. I'm hoping it allows someone to use the latest typing syntax across multiple Python versions. I'm “tentatively” excited. But I'm bracing for someone to tell me why it's not a silver bullet. Michael #4: MI6 chief: We'll be as fluent in Python as we are in Russian "Advances in artificial intelligence, biotechnology and quantum computing are not only revolutionizing economies but rewriting the reality of conflict, as they 'converge' to create science fiction-like tools,” said new MI6 chief Blaise Metreweli. She focused mainly on threats from Russia, the country is "testing us in the grey zone with tactics that are just below the threshold of war.” This demands what she called "mastery of technology" across the service, with officers required to become "as comfortable with lines of code as we are with human sources, as fluent in Python as we are in multiple other languages." Recruitment will target linguists, data scientists, engineers, and technologists alike. Extras Brian: Next chapter of Lean TDD being released today, Finding Waste in TDD Still going to attempt a Jan 31 deadline for first draft of book. That really doesn't seem like enough time, but I'm optimistic. SteamDeck is not helping me find time to write But I very much appreciate the gift from my fam Send me game suggestions on Mastodon or Bluesky. I'd love to hear what you all are playing.

ICE is undergoing one of the largest expansions in modern U.S. history—and critics warn this is not just about immigration enforcement. Backed by tens of billions of dollars in new funding and a $100 million “wartime recruitment” campaign, the Trump administration is rapidly transforming Immigration and Customs Enforcement into a force opponents describe as militarized, ideologically driven, and increasingly insulated from oversight. Recruitment ads frame deportation work as a “sacred duty,” target weapons and military subcultures, and use imagery and language civil-rights experts say mirrors authoritarian propaganda. Independent media has never been more important.

LINDBERGH'S 1939 RETURN AND FDR'S FAILED RECRUITMENT Colleague H.W. Brands. H.W. Brandsdiscusses Charles Lindbergh's 1939 return to America amidst rising European tensions. Lindbergh, world-famous for his 1927 transatlantic flight and the tragic kidnapping of his son, is greeted by paparazzi and invited to meet FDR. Brands explains that while Roosevelt found Lindbergh charming, the President unsuccessfully attempted to recruit the aviator into his administration to control his potential opposition to American intervention in the looming war.

Mitch McDermott joins us this week to discuss how to hire the right person for the right job. He shares his human-centered recruitment approach, which emphasizes hiring for results and seeing the individual beyond the resume and job description. Mitch also highlights key trends in recruiting and retaining top talent.

Will Clive, Chief Human Resources Officer at LVT (LiveView Technologies), to unpack what it really takes to build high performing teams in fast growing, high pressure environments without burning people out or killing trust.Will breaks down why clarity beats control, and why the job of a leader is not to micromanage talent, but to make the destination so clear that teams can figure out the path themselves. He shares how outcome clarity, values driven leadership behavior, and removing low performance quickly are foundational to building real performance cultures.Most importantly, Will explains the hard trade offs leaders avoid, why keeping low performers quietly poisons teams, how recognizing and stretching top performers matters more than money alone, and why autonomy plus accountability is the only model that scales.

Ric Elias - The Art of Living Well - [Invest Like The Best, CLASSICS] Welcome to this classic episode. Classics are my favorite episodes from the past 10 years, published once a month. These are N of 1 conversations with N of 1 people. Ric Elias is the CEO and co-founder of Red Ventures, which has a portfolio of fast-growing digital businesses like Lonely Planet, The Points Guy, Bankrate, and large investments in a variety of other businesses across industries. He began the business in 2000 and has grown it to now a global company with thousands of employees. Ric walks us through the early struggles that have led to what is now a flourishing investing platform, but mostly this episode is a masterclass on cultural values and philosophies that transcend mere financial gain. We discuss the difference between living good and well, the power of forgiveness, and compounding more than just your capital. Ric's story is one of resilience, humility, and grace. His story about being in the front row of the plane that Captain Sully landed in the Hudson is singular and very moving. Please enjoy my conversation with Ric Elias.
