How often do we pause to appreciate the simple pleasure of a handwritten note? Reflecting on a recent postcard I received from my friend Rick Larkin, who visited the breathtaking Cliffs of Moher in Ireland, I found myself pondering the rarity and impact of these tangible messages in our digital age. Join me on this heartfelt journey where we rediscover the joy of connecting through letters and postcards, especially for those who might feel disconnected in our fast-paced world. Personal stories and interactions have reminded me of the importance of reaching out, not just through a screen, but with something they can hold onto and treasure.I'm passionate about reviving this meaningful tradition and invite you to be a part of it. Whether it's a quick hello or a heartfelt letter, let's bring smiles and warmth to each other's lives, especially to our older loved ones who might not have much interaction. If you're interested in starting a pen pal exchange, send a letter to the Scott Townsend Show, and I'll personally write back. Together, we can celebrate the art of writing and the powerful connections it fosters. So, grab a pen, some paper, and let's make a difference, one letter at a time.Support the show► Subscribe to The Scott Townsend Show YouTube channel --- https://bit.ly/3iV8sOTThe Scott Townsend Show Merchandise https://teespring.com/stores/tsts-2Resources and Links--------------------------------------------My contact info:LinkedIn https://bit.ly/2ZZ4qweTwitter https://bit.ly/3enLDQaFacebook https://bit.ly/2Od4ItOInstagram https://bit.ly/2ClncWlSend me a text: 918-397-0327Executive Producer: Ben TownsendCreative Consultant: Matthew Blue TownsendShot with a 1080P Webcam with Microphone, https://amzn.to/32gfgAuSamson Technologies Q2U USB/XLR Dynamic Microphone Recording and Podcasting Pack https://amzn.to/3TIbACeVoice Actor: Britney McCulloughLogo by Angie Jordan https://blog.angiejordan.com/contact/Theme Song by Androzguitar https://www.fiverr.com/inbox/androzguitar

Rick Larkin is the Chief Information Officer at BCB Transport, a trucking company in Texas that empowers its independent contractors, employees, and truck drivers. Unlike most transport companies, Rick is big on driver safety, making critical decisions based on data—especially with the pandemic persisting. With over 10 years of leadership experience in the transport industry, Rick has also become an expert in operations management, logistics, business development, and team building. Rick joins me today to discuss how BCB Transport uses data to reduce driver accidents and other safety incidents. He describes how the workplace has changed in just ten years. He details the market shift that happened in 2018 and how it bankrupted many transport companies. He explains how BCB Transport manages to put safety over profits, even if it means making a few customers angry. Rick also discusses their podcast and how it has positively affected the way their truckers drive and even park. "In June-July of 2018, the market changed, and those folks who didn't know their data went out of business." - Rick Larkin This week on Priorities Lifestyle: Why work today is quieter than it was a decade ago The big roadblock Rick initially encountered in his business What it was like to be forced to go big into the business How the market changed for the transport industry in 2018 When Rick realized the data they had before electronic logs were fake Trusting your team to hold themselves accountable for their roles The number of times you should change the way your business runs Shifting from a trucking company to a safety company Prioritizing the safety of your workers over sales How their podcast encourages driver safety Addressing the problem of retiring truck drivers Our Favorite Quotes: "Being on time is not as important as being safe.” - Rick Larkin "Sometimes, the more technology there is, the more dangerous it is." - Rob Schulz "You provide all that care for your employees, but you need some of that as an owner as well." - Rob Schulz Connect with Rick Larkin: BCB Transport BCB Transport on LinkedIn BCB Transport on YouTube BCB Transport Podcast Rick Larkin on LinkedIn Email: rick.larkin@bcbtransport.com About Rob Schulz and P&L Podcast The P&L Podcast is a show for business owners.

A draft of Dublin City Council's new development plan includes a proposal to limit the number of rental units in any new apartment schemes to 40%. Director of property developer Twinlite, Rick Larkin, says the impact of this will freeze future apartment developments in Dublin and mean renters and first time buyers will have fewer options and higher costs. Dublin City Councillor Dermot Lacey has rejected this notion. In this episode, Ciarán hears them both out. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
