The Breakfast Show invites Jasie Fon, Regional Vice President for Asia at Ping Identity, to unpack what these findings reveal about changing consumer behaviour, why login friction quietly costs retailers millions, and how businesses can turn digital trust into their next big advantage this shopping season.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's the day that we put drive tire ROI front and center. On this episode of What's Treading, Valentino Faraone, Regional Vice President & New Product Development Manager at Double Coin, explains why fleets and dealers should give more attention to this tire position to boost the bottom line.Valentino notes that while steer and trailer tires often dominate purchasing decisions, drive tires carry a heavy cost. They also play a major role in a fleet's total cost of ownership. He shares methods for calculating drive tire ROI, tracking mileage, and comparing acquisition costs. He also suggests using simple spreadsheets to benchmark performance against other products.The conversation highlights the importance of preventative maintenance. Dealers can deliver real value by monitoring tread depth, air pressure, and mismatched diameters before costly breakdowns occur. Valentino explains that this proactive approach may require an upfront investment but provides significant long-term savings and peace of mind.He also discusses Double Coin's durability approach, building heavier, more robust tires that excel in harsh environments and offer strong retreadability. That combination, he says, helps fleets maximize value throughout the tire's lifecycle.For commercial fleets, product quality matters as much as service and maintenance. Dealers who prioritize reliability, preventative maintenance, and consistent support build lasting trust with fleets and owner-operators, Valentino says.Watch now for Valentino's insights on service, durability, and why the drive tire should never be overlooked in a fleet's ROI strategy.Tire Review: www.tirereview.comHunter Engineering: www.hunter.com

In this episode of American Potential, host David From, Regional Vice President at Americans for Prosperity, sits down with Chris and Aziza Butler, a husband-and-wife team on the frontlines of the fight to protect homeschooling freedoms in Illinois. When a bill threatened to force homeschool families to register with the state and potentially face criminal charges, the Butlers didn't just speak out—they mobilized. Aziza, a former public school teacher turned homeschool mom, and Chris, a pastor and education reform advocate, share their journey from skeptics to passionate homeschoolers. Along the way, they built a thriving micro school in Chicago's South Side—one that's transforming the lives of families looking for educational alternatives. They discuss why parent-led education matters, how community-based solutions outperform bureaucratic control, and how legislation like HB2827 threatens educational opportunity—especially in underserved communities. Their message is clear: families, not government, should be in the driver's seat. This is a powerful conversation about faith, family, freedom, and the power of ordinary people standing up to defend their rights—and the future of education.
In this inspiring episode of American Potential, host David From, Regional Vice President at Americans for Prosperity, sits down with entrepreneur and builder Justin Mannina—CEO of Rexcon Enterprises, Vice President of JB Pinnacle Group, and Co‑founder of My Truck Boss. Justin opens up about his journey from working grueling hours on construction sites to walking away from a secure six‑figure job to launch multiple successful companies. He shares the tough early years—when he and his partner didn't pay themselves for five straight years—as well as the milestone moment of building America's largest carbon-capture plant and major infrastructure projects in Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. But this episode isn't just about concrete and highways—it's about people. Justin discusses his passion for hiring high school graduates, giving second chances to formerly incarcerated individuals, and defending hardworking DACA recipients who have become cornerstone team members. He also reveals how his love for problem-solving led him to co-create an app that brings real-time tracking and efficiency to dirt-hauling operations still buried in paperwork. Justin's story is a modern blueprint for how grit, mentorship, and faith in people can create opportunity—not just for individuals, but for entire communities. Whether you're a parent questioning the traditional college path, a business leader seeking to empower your team, or simply someone who believes in the power of second chances, this episode is a must-hear.

In the financial services industry, we often see a critical gap between technological potential and practical implementation. Financial institutions must bridge this divide, moving beyond the excitement of new technology to achieve measurable outcomes that impact both customer experience and operational efficiency. Today, we're joined on the Banking Transformed podcast by Tara Lacey, Regional Vice President of Customer Success at Backbase. Tara has made her career focusing on what truly matters in financial technology – not just helping to build innovative solutions, but ensuring they're effectively deployed to create real business value. We explore the evolving philosophy of customer success in banking technology – where the emphasis isn't on selling solutions but on ensuring their successful deployment and adoption. We also discuss why implementation strategy is often more important than the technology itself.
