While the opportunity showed early promise, unexpected operational and marketing obstacles forced them to rethink their approach and rebuild from the ground up.The Brandons discuss how a suspended Google Business Profile significantly impacted customer acquisition, the complexities of managing a business remotely, and the importance of establishing reliable systems and leadership before expanding into a new market. They also explain how seemingly minor administrative issues, including business verification and address discrepancies, created larger operational challenges than anticipated.Throughout the conversation, they reflect on the risks of pursuing multiple growth initiatives simultaneously and why they ultimately decided to pause their franchising plans to focus on strengthening their existing operations. By improving financial visibility, refining key performance indicators, and making more data-driven decisions, they have developed a clearer strategy for sustainable growth.Whether you are considering opening a second location or looking to improve the performance of your current business, this episode provides practical insights on resilience, operational discipline, and why long-term success is built through consistent execution rather than rapid expansion.Listen now!Highlights:(00:50) Brandon and Brandon provide a one-year update on the Las Cruces expansion and discuss the realities of launching a second cleaning business location.(03:34) How a suspended Google Business Profile disrupted customer acquisition and the lessons they learned while rebuilding their online presence.(05:43) The operational challenges of managing a remote location, hiring local leadership, and maintaining consistency across multiple markets.(10:32) Why they chose to pause their franchising plans and refocus on strengthening existing operations before pursuing further expansion.(13:28) How improved financial reporting, KPI tracking, and operational data are helping them make more informed business decisions.(17:58) Why they decided to continue investing in the Las Cruces location instead of walking away, and how a few strategic improvements can restore profitability.(20:23) The importance of resilience, continuous improvement, and maintaining long-term focus when navigating setbacks in business.Links/Resources Mentioned:Profit Cleaners Website Watch the FREE Masterclass: https://profitcleaners.com/masterclass)Join the FREE Facebook community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/profitcleaners/Visit profitcleaners.com/cleanerclean to stay updated on everything coming next from Profit Cleaners. profitcleaners.com/cleanercleanLearn more about Noctave AI:noctave.ai

Joe Beech is not - we repeat NOT - an entrepreneur (per him). He also doesn't like titles and - until recently - wasn't even that fond of his own company's name. What Joe IS is someone who has learned the art of staying open to possibility and embracing a good pivot when it comes his way. He's taking his own experiences and sharing them with college and uni students about to make the leap into their own careers, which technically makes him a mentor - another word he's not that fond of. If you're ready to make a change and take your own leap, this good guest's upfront and truthful thoughts may be just the inspiration you need. And don't forget our 2026 theme: SAY YES. Joe Beech is saying yes. _________________________________ SLIDESHOW: IN COLOR! now playing in London.

The St. Louis Morning Brief breaks down what early voters actually need to know — check your county's specific polling locations, because it's not business as usual today. Then Marc and Kim tackle the Board of Aldermen's vote letting data centers skip the city's green energy mandate when Ameren can't keep up, a common-sense nod to reliable power over feel-good mandates. The lettuce-outbreak silver lining has Missouri farms cashing in as families ditch the prepackaged salad kits, and Kim admits she's tossing hers just to be safe.

In today's episode of Trending Middle East, the regional war reaches occupied UAE territory after US forces strike Iranian military positions on Greater Tunb. The UAE island was seized by Tehran in 1971. Washington says the operation struck coastal defence systems and other military infrastructure to weaken Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Jordan and Kuwait report intercepting renewed Iranian attacks. We also examine Washington's approval of nearly $2.5 billion in new military equipment sales to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. In Rome, Lebanon and Israel make progress in their US-backed negotiations, agreeing to advance the plan for pilot security zones in southern Lebanon while technical talks continue. We also look at new US transparency rules that could force Gulf family offices investing in activist campaigns on Wall Street to reveal their identities for the first time. And Dubai's Museum of the Future prepares for its biggest transformation since opening, with every major exhibition set to be replaced before a relaunch in early 2027.

Kentucky state represenatative John Hodgson (Dist 36) shared his thoughts on today's tumult within the ranks of tourism leadership. Here's the background info: the Kentucky Supreme Court ruled that Republican-led laws to reduce Governor Andy Beshear's power is unconstitutional.Today, Beshear revamped the Kentucky State Fair Board and his newly appointed members immediately fired longtime Ky Venues CEO David Beck.Beck's leadership produced generous funding thru the state legislature for massive upgrades at the Kentucky Expo Center and Ky International Convention Center. Plus, the convention and tourism numbers soared under Beck's relationships with decision makers.Some of the biggest shows on the tourism calendar: Bourbon & Beyond, Louder Than Life, the farm machinery show, teen sports competitions, faith group conventions, and so many more have expanded during Beck's tenure.Mike Berry has been named interim CEO, but admitted he's a short-termer.Will the new leader be able to maintain Beck's successes? Will Louisville tourism continue its upward trajectory now that Beck's longterm connections are severed?Governor Beshear will hopefully step forward to confirm that Ky Venues can best utilize the $400 million investment in Ky Expo Centers' upgrades.

In today's episode, we spoke with David O'Malley, MD. Dr O'Malley is a professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at The Ohio State University College of Medicine and the director of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center–James in Columbus, Ohio. In our exclusive interview, Dr O'Malley discussed his approach to treatment selection and sequencing in platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, a disease setting he described as representing the highest unmet need in the field. He emphasized the central role of clinical trial enrollment and biomarker-driven decision-making, alongside practical patient-centered considerations, such as infusion schedule and quality of life.He highlighted the growing importance of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in this setting, noting that folate receptor alpha and HER2 are the two biomarkers most relevant to current practice. Dr O'Malley outlined how National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines support treatment across a broader range of expression levels than initial approvals reflected, citing emerging data suggesting activity even at lower expression thresholds. He also addressed payload sequencing, explaining that outside of a clinical trial, he currently uses topoisomerase I–based ADCs and antimicrotubule-based ADCs each one time only, and remains open to targeting the same antigen again if the payload differs.The discussion also touched on combination strategies, resistance biology, and the evolving role of immunotherapy following the survival benefit observed with pembrolizumab (Keytruda) in the phase 3 KEYNOTE-B96 trial (NCT05116189). Dr O'Malley expressed enthusiasm for next-generation payloads, dual-target approaches, and the potential for bispecific antibodies and novel DNA damage response–targeting agents to define the post-ADC treatment landscape.Finally, Dr O'Malley underscored the need for more tumor biopsies to better characterize resistance mechanisms and called for expanded pharmaceutical investment in retreatment and cross-resistance studies to guide future sequencing decisions.

As we ReVamp the Seat and move from attender to active, it's comforting to know we don't have to do it alone. We have the Holy Spirit that satisfies, moves and provides power.

This Day in Legal History: Rhode Island Ratifies the Constitution, 1790On this day in 1790, Rhode Island became the thirteenth and final original state to ratify the United States Constitution, doing so by a margin of 34 to 32 at a convention in Newport. Rhode Island's hesitation had been considerable: the state refused to send delegates to the Philadelphia Convention in 1787, and twice rejected ratification in popular referenda — a curiously democratic method for refusing to join a constitutional union founded in part on the premise that pure direct democracy is dangerous. The state's small-farmer and debtor classes, the same constituencies that had backed the paper-money policies that horrified Madison, were deeply suspicious of a strong federal government that would constrain state-issued currency, ban impairment of debt contracts (Article I, Section 10), and override state-level debtor protections.Ratification finally came under the gun: Congress, frustrated by the foot-dragging, was openly threatening to treat Rhode Island as a foreign nation for tariff purposes, which would have devastated the Providence merchants. The convention's narrow margin reflected a hostile deal more than a meeting of constitutional minds.Importantly, Rhode Island's ratification was conditioned on a lengthy list of proposed amendments — many of them mirroring the Bill of Rights that James Madison had already shepherded through Congress in September 1789 and that would be ratified in December 1791. With Rhode Island in, the original Union was at last complete, and the practical question of whether the new federal government could function with one stubborn holdout fell away. The episode is a useful reminder that the constitutional founding was not so much a singular moment as a slow, contested, occasionally coerced bargain — one that ended in Newport on a humid Saturday in May.The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday handed down a narrow 5-4 ruling in Pitchford v. Cain, reviving a Mississippi death row inmate's challenge to the prosecutor's race-based use of peremptory strikes at his 2006 capital trial. Justice Kavanaugh, writing for a majority that included Chief Justice Roberts plus Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson, held that the Mississippi Supreme Court unreasonably applied Batson v. Kentucky's three-step framework for challenges to peremptory strikes.The Court found the trial judge accepted the prosecutor's race-neutral explanations without giving defense counsel a meaningful opportunity to argue that those reasons were pretextual, and the state appellate court compounded the error by treating that omission as a waiver. The prosecutor, Doug Evans, used four of his twelve strikes to remove four of the five Black prospective jurors, leaving a jury of eleven white jurors and one Black juror in a Mississippi county that was then roughly 40 percent Black.The Court leaned heavily on its 2019 Flowers v. Mississippi decision, which involved the same prosecutor and the same trial judge and had already found Evans's pattern of striking Black jurors discriminatory. Federal habeas relief was appropriate because the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act's deferential “no fair-minded jurist could agree” standard cannot rescue a state-court ruling that simply skips Batson's third step. Justice Gorsuch dissented, joined by Justices Alito, Thomas, and Barrett, arguing the record showed counsel chose silence rather than being denied an opportunity. The case now returns to the Fifth Circuit for further proceedings.Justices Revive Mississippi Death Row Inmate's Batson Claim | Law360Caesars Entertainment agreed Thursday to be acquired by Tilman Fertitta's privately-held Fertitta Entertainment in an all-cash deal valued at roughly $17.6 billion, including the assumption of approximately $11.9 billion of Caesars' outstanding debt. Shareholders will receive $31 per share, a 49 percent premium over Caesars' unaffected share price as of February 25, and the company will be delisted from Nasdaq upon closing. The agreement includes a go-shop period running through approximately July 11 — a Delaware deal-protection mechanism that lets the target board solicit competing bids without triggering a termination fee, and that helps insulate the sale process from a Revlon-flavored fiduciary-duty challenge by signaling the board actively tested the market after signing.Latham & Watkins and Skadden are representing Caesars (the latter on antitrust), White & Case is advising Fertitta, and Freshfields is counseling the Carano family, which holds a roughly 5 percent stake and will roll part of its equity into the combined entity. The combined company would control more than 60 casino resorts and over 200 retail sports betting locations under the William Hill brand. Antitrust review will be the inflection point given the overlap on the Las Vegas Strip — where Caesars operates eight properties — and across digital betting. Funding will come from Fertitta equity and committed debt financing arranged by a syndicate of ten banks.4 Firms Steer Fertitta's $17.6B Caesars Entertainment Buy | Law360The Department of Health and Human Services on Thursday finalized a long-awaited overhaul of the federal Independent Dispute Resolution process under the No Surprises Act of 2021, the statute that pulls most out-of-network billing fights out of the patient's hands and into a baseball-style arbitration between provider and payer. The headline change slashes the per-party administrative fee from $115 to $15 per case, undoing a sharp 2023 hike that providers had successfully challenged in the Eastern District of Texas as having been adopted without notice-and-comment rulemaking under the Administrative Procedure Act.The rule also expands batching, so economically similar items and services can be bundled into a single arbitration, which the agency says will cut transaction costs and ease the chronic IDR backlog. HHS is also rolling out a centralized federal dispute portal and a payer registry intended to fix the persistent problem of providers being unable to identify which entity is actually on the hook in any given case. Reactions from physician and radiology groups have been mixed, with broad support for the fee cut but lingering concern that the qualifying payment amount methodology — the benchmark arbitrators must consider — still tilts the field toward insurers. APA Section 706 challenges to portions of the earlier IDR framework remain pending in the Fifth Circuit.US HHS finalizes rule to streamline dispute resolution under No Surprises Act | ReutersABC's New York affiliate WABC-TV filed an objection with the FCC on Thursday, calling Chairman Brendan Carr's April order requiring early license renewals for all eight ABC-owned stations an “unconstitutional” act of viewpoint-based retaliation barred by the First Amendment. WABC submitted its renewal under protest, arguing the agency has not demanded simultaneous early renewals from a commonly owned station group in more than fifty years and that the Media Bureau's stated rationale — possible violations of the Communications Act of 1934 and the FCC's nondiscrimination rules — is pretext for punishing disfavored editorial speech.The doctrinal hook is the Bantam Books line of cases through last term's NRA v. Vullo, which holds that government officials cannot use the implicit threat of regulatory sanction to coerce private intermediaries into suppressing protected expression. The order followed a separate FCC inquiry into whether “The View” has been violating the agency's equal-time rule for political candidates, and came against the backdrop of repeated White House demands that Disney fire Jimmy Kimmel. Democratic Commissioner Anna Gomez has openly urged Disney not to “flinch.”On the same day, the FCC issued a broader notice warning all broadcasters that licenses could be reviewed early if stations are deemed to be failing their statutory public-interest obligation — a posture that drops the question of broadcast licensing back into Red Lion-era First Amendment territory.FCC Targeting ABC Licenses To Punish Speech, Station Says | Law360 This is a public episode.
