Let's just get this out of the way: your email list is not a nice-to-have. It's not something you'll "get to eventually." It is the one digital asset you actually own, and if you're not building it, you're building your business on rented land. In this episode I'm making the case (loudly) for why email needs to be a non-negotiable in your marketing, why social media alone could leave you stranded, and exactly what makes a good weekly email work. Spoiler: it's three pieces, one story, and always a PS.

Motorcycling offers far more than transportation—it can be a powerful source of discovery, creativity and personal vitality. Clinical psychologist and motojournalist Mark Barnes explores how riding, learning new skills, understanding and maintaining motorcycles, planning trips, customizing bikes and connecting with other riders can keep motorcyclists curious, engaged and fully alive.

Greg begins by discussing a suggestion from their friend Scott to explore the origins of well-known street names in Bangkok. After briefly touching on familiar spots like Khaosan Road and Lumpini Park, Greg dives into the history of Sukhumvit Road. He notes it was originally a dirt track before being formally constructed and named after the fifth chief of the Department of Highways, who was notably the first Thai person to graduate from the storied MIT. They then confront a bit of trivia - is Sukhumvit actually the longest road in Thailand? Ed digs around online and finds that Phetkasem Highway is actually significantly longer than Sukhumvit. Next, Greg brings up Wireless Road, explaining that it earned its name because it housed the very first radio telegraph station in Thailand. He mentions there is even a small museum built on the original foundations. Following this, Greg explains that the nearby Saladaeng area got its name from a red pavilion located at an old railway station. Continuing their discussion, Greg reveals that Asok Road has ties to a famous Buddhist emperor named Ashoka, though it was officially named after a local landowner known as Asok Montri. He then shares that Phetchaburi Road is surprisingly named after a royal aunt rather than the province itself. Finally, Ed wraps up the historical segment by noting that Songwat Road translates to being drawn by a king, while the lengthy name Borommaratchachonnani honors a supreme royal mother.

What do you do when following Jesus gets hard? In Stay Strong: Endure, you'll be challenged to look at what happens when resistance, hardship, persecution, and spiritual opposition come against your faith. Jesus never promised that following Him would mean avoiding difficulty. He called His followers to remain faithful, stand firm, and endure. Mark 4 warns about seed that falls on stony ground. The Word is received with joy, but when trouble comes, there is no deep root to sustain it. That same warning still matters today. It is possible to hear the Word, agree with it, and even be encouraged by it without allowing it to take root deeply enough to shape how you respond when life becomes difficult. This message will challenge you to examine the condition of your heart and ask whether your faith is prepared to endure. You'll see why resistance does not always mean you are doing something wrong. Following Jesus puts you in opposition to the ways of the enemy, and spiritual battles are part of the life of a disciple. Scripture calls believers to endure hardship as good soldiers of Jesus Christ, resist the devil, and refuse to abandon their confession of faith. You'll also be challenged to count the cost of following Jesus. Salvation is a free gift, but discipleship calls you to carry your cross, surrender your life, and keep following when obedience costs you something. If you are facing pressure, disappointment, betrayal, fear, hardship, or a season where you feel like giving up, this message is an encouragement to keep going. Your strength does not come from your ability to fight alone. Jesus is with you, the Holy Spirit strengthens you, and you can remain faithful through the battle. “Stay strong. Don't back down. Hold fast to your confession of faith. Believe God.” - Justin Younger Don't let resistance uproot what God has planted in you. Draw near to Him. Stand your ground. Keep believing. Keep following. Stay strong and endure. The Roads Church - https://theroads.church

Colorado's roads are in a state of disrepair, and a recent deal between the state legislature and the backers of Initiative 175 has left many wondering what's next for transportation funding in the state. This episode delves into the details of the agreement, which involves a proposed ballot measure to fund road maintenance and repairs through bonds.The conversation centers around the trade-offs involved in this new approach, which some see as a step forward, while others are concerned about the potential impact on taxpayers. The guest, Jeff Keller, co-chair of Restore Our Roads and president of APC Construction, explains the reasoning behind the deal and the benefits it could bring to Coloradans and visitors alike.

Jimmy and Tyler dig into a stack of public lands updates in this week’s Monday episode — the kind of episode where you walk away actually understanding the legal mechanics behind the headlines, instead of just reacting to them. The Roadless Rule kicks things off, and it’s more interesting than it sounds. Roads through national forest and BLM land aren’t just recreation access — they’re wildfire infrastructure. Jimmy and Tyler talk through the Caldor Fire, where popular Sierra OHV routes served as fire lines and ingress for hotshot crews, and the broader ecological argument that decades of total fire suppression (no controlled burns, no small fires clearing brush) is exactly why mega-fires have gotten so much worse. The Roadless Rule — which has blocked any new road construction and forced a steady decline in usable routes — is now being reconsidered, with agencies reviewing historical road inventories to determine what could reopen for fire management purposes. It’s currently open for public comment, and Blue Ribbon Coalition has a tool on their site that maps your zip code to your legislators for submitting comments directly. Make a public comment on the Roadless Rule: https://blueribboncoalition.org/roadless-rule-draft-eis-comment/ From there: an update on the Big Bend National Park border wall project in Texas — over $7 billion across five sections, built with no-bid contracts, cutting a new road directly next to an existing one, and initially bypassing NEPA environmental review and public comment entirely. The good news: sustained public pressure has forced a pause on construction while it undergoes review. Also covered: why picking up a rock on public land is technically a federal offense (it’s classified as mining), the ongoing accessibility angle of road closures for wheelchair users and other visitors who can’t hike miles in on foot, and the California OHV permit saga — a coalition-negotiated agreement that got rewritten by the legislative committee and failed its vote, leaving the whole permit effort dead for now. The back half covers two related legal patterns worth knowing: newly released Yellowstone grizzly bear studies show OHV use has never caused a single recorded grizzly death — despite that exact justification being used to close routes — and Jimmy and Tyler connect the dots to the nearly identical legal language used to justify closures at Oceano Dunes (snowy plover), the Western Mojave (desert tortoise), and now the Oregon Dunes (western marmot), in each case without a definitive study proving OHV is actually the cause of death. Then a full breakdown of Wilderness Study Areas — land that’s been managed as de facto wilderness for decades without ever being formally designated, with no legal deadline forcing a decision either way — and Blue Ribbon Coalition’s push to get courts to force a timeline.

Trump is promising an "economic D-Day" against Iran while trying to lower beef prices by temporarily removing a tariff. So tariffs don't raise prices... except when removing them lowers prices? Nate and Charlie break down Trump's new economic pressure campaign against Iran, the oil-market reaction, and whether decades of sanctions give us any reason to expect a different result this time. Then it's beef. Trump announced a 90-day plan allowing hundreds of thousands of metric tons of ground beef to enter without the out-of-quota tariff, while promising cheaper prices and more room for American cattle producers to grow. The guys dig into the incentives, Thomas Massie's response, and the obvious tariff contradiction. Finally, the national debt has crossed $40 trillion. Did the Bush and Trump tax cuts create the debt problem, or does Washington simply spend every dollar it can get its hands on? Plus: 91% tax rates, government roads, patents, AI data centers, and a viral claim about Gary, Indiana that sends the show completely off the rails.

After being forced to endure quizzes on subjects she had absolutely no interest in — Horror, Christmas and all manner of nonsense — it's finally Marie's turn in the big chair! This time, Neil, Luke, David & Jose are being put through the Queer Pop Culture Quiz, as Marie tests four straight guys on the ultimate question:Are they actually good allies… or are they about to embarrass themselves spectacularly?David is already worried he's going to get absolutely nothing right.Neil is quietly confident when it comes to the TV and film questions, but he's also keeping one eye on Jose, convinced that Jose is going to say something that gets the entire podcast cancelled.Jose, meanwhile, thinks Neil is the one most likely to put his foot in it.And Luke? Luke is just happy to be here.So after years of everyone else getting to test their knowledge on subjects that Marie couldn't care less about, the power is finally hers.But will Marie be a fair and just Quiz Master?Or will the power go straight to her head?There is as always in our quiz episodes copious amounts of swearing, blatant cheating and at least one person throwing their toys out of the pram in an almighty show of poor sportsmanship…I'll let you guess who that is, and guess what you'll learn something - we sure did!Play along at home and let us know how you scored in the comments!!!Don't forget to follow and subscribe to the We Needed Roads Podcast on Spotify, Apple and all social media.Needed Roads on Twitter / X https://x.com/NeededRoadsWeneededroads on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/weneededroads/Weneededroadspodcast on Tiktokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@weneededroadspodcastNeil Needed Roads on Substackhttps://substack.com/@greggors78

On the night of Sept. 27, 2024, Hurricane Helene dropped a historic wall of rain on the southern Appalachian mountains.Some 31 inches of water fell in three days. The Swannanoa River rose 27 feet. Roads, bridges, and entire communities – very little was left in the storm's aftermath.  More than 250 people died across the Southeast. More than a hundred of them in North Carolina alone. It was the deadliest hurricane to hit the continental United States since Katrina.We check in on how much western North Carolina has rebuilt in the nearly two years since the storm.

The Roads to Bad Questions and One-Liners

This episode is presented by Create A Video – Local Charlotte-area leaders are on a deadline to decide whether to reverse their reversal and (once again) approve a state plan to expand I-77 and add toll lanes. After some residents objected, local officials pulled their support for the $4 billion project. The state responded by demanding repayment for design and planning work already done over a decade. But if local officials flip again and support the project by October 5th, they'll get an additional $300 million in incentives.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-pete-kaliner-show--6946691/support.Subscribe to the podcast My preferred podcast platform: SpreakerAll the links to Pete's Prep are free!Get exclusive content here!Media Bias Check: GroundNews promo code!Advertising and Booking inquiries: Pete@ThePeteKalinerShow.com  

Metro Atlanta is growing quickly, adding more jobs and new development, but delivering housing in step with that growth is increasingly complex. Builders and developers must balance limited land availability, infrastructure constraints, rising costs and evolving buyer expectations while creating communities that work for both residents and local governments.  Myles Cardenas, senior land planning and development manager with Taylor Morrison, joins Host Carol Morgan on Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio to break down the forces shaping residential development across Metro Atlanta and what's ahead for the region's next phase of growth.  Growth Is Outpacing Infrastructure in Many Areas  As Metro Atlanta's population grows, local governments are working to align housing demand with existing infrastructure capacity. Roads, water and sewer networks, utility expansion timelines and stormwater systems all play a role in whether new development can move forward. In some cases, municipalities are slowing approvals or tightening development standards while they assess how much additional growth these systems can support.  “I don't think it's a shortage. I think it's more so of a slowdown,” Cardenas said.  That distinction is important. Land may be available, but development cannot proceed without the infrastructure and approvals needed to support it.  Housing is not the only demand on these systems. Large-scale commercial projects, including data centers and industrial development, also require significant infrastructure capacity, making long-term planning even more critical.  Infill and Redevelopment Are Key Housing Drivers  As large parcels become harder to find in established areas, older office buildings, outdated retail centers and underperforming commercial sites are increasingly being evaluated for residential or mixed-use redevelopment. These locations often have existing infrastructure and established communities nearby, creating opportunities to add housing in areas that already have jobs, services and amenities.  While these projects can help bring housing closer to established activity centers, they also require more creative planning. Developers must work within existing structures, infrastructure and site constraints rather than starting with a blank slate.  Stormwater Requirements Are Reshaping Site Design  One of the most influential and often underestimated factors in land development is stormwater management. Regulations and infrastructure requirements can significantly affect site layout, density and overall project costs.  Every added cost in land development ultimately affects home affordability. That reality is pushing developers to look for efficiencies earlier in the process by optimizing land use, refining site design and reducing unnecessary expenses wherever possible.  Finding those efficiencies can help developers make better use of available land while keeping the cost of new housing in focus.  No Single Housing Model Fits Every Market  Housing demand across Metro Atlanta is not uniform, and development strategies reflect that reality. Depending on location and market conditions, communities may include smaller lots, higher-density townhomes, larger homesites or mixed-use components.  Local regulations, infrastructure availability, land costs and buyer preferences all influence what gets built and where.  “I think everybody's really taking a look at what they do and understanding what they do best and trying to strategize land position from there,” Cardenas said.  That strategic approach is becoming increasingly important as builders determine where their products and expertise align with local demand.  Atlanta's Residential Growth is Moving in Multiple Directions  Metro Atlanta's next wave of residential growth is not concentrated in a single corridor. It is emerging in multiple directions as employment centers, infrastructure investment and land availability.  Southern communities such as South Fulton, Union City, Peachtree City and Newnan continue to attract attention as new jobs and master-planned communities take shape. At the same time, northern areas are seeing increased interest driven by data centers and other employment hubs.  Across both regions, the pattern remains consistent: Housing follows opportunity. Where jobs, infrastructure and amenities expand, residential development tends to follow, although the pace of that growth still depends heavily on infrastructure readiness.  Infrastructure Will Shape Atlanta's Future Growth  While land availability is important, infrastructure ultimately determines whether development can move forward at scale. Water, sewer, transportation networks and utilities all influence what is possible in a given area.  This makes coordination between developers and municipalities essential. Cities must plan infrastructure investment alongside expected growth, while developers must evaluate existing capacity before committing to projects.  The result is a more varied growth pattern across the region. Some areas may have available land but limited infrastructure, while others have infrastructure in place but fewer large development sites. Together, those conditions are creating opportunities for both greenfield and infill development.  Workforce Capacity Is a Core Industry Challenge  Beyond land and infrastructure, the construction industry faces another major constraint: workforce availability. Skilled professionals are needed across every stage of development, from planning and design to construction and long-term community management.  Cardenas recently earned his Georgia general contractor license through the Licensed Contractor Cohort, a program focused on expanding access to construction careers and licensing pathways.  “There just aren't enough young people that are getting into the industry fast enough to essentially take over the demand that's coming through the housing and construction industry,” Cardenas said.  The industry also extends far beyond field construction. Roles in architecture, engineering, design, marketing, insurance and technology all contribute to delivering housing at scale. Expanding awareness of these career paths will be critical to meeting future demand.  As Metro Atlanta continues to grow, the ability to develop land efficiently will be just one piece of the puzzle. Infrastructure, housing affordability and a strong construction workforce will all play a role in determining how the region grows.  To learn more about Atlanta residential growth and the trends shaping future communities, listen to the full episode of Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio.

What if the Industrial Revolution wasn't sparked by the steam engine, but by a quiet legal revolution in how England handled property rights? Ben Southwood of Works in Progress argues that the Glorious Revolution of the 1680s unleashed British growth by empowering a Parliament composed of landowners who simplified their own tangled, inefficient property rights. Through thousands of case-by-case acts, they freed up land for investment, consolidated inefficient farm ownership, and enabled a boom in privately-built roads, canals, and navigable rivers that created national markets. Along the way you'll learn why roads once moved at 1.5 miles per hour, and how these centuries-old lessons about buying off holdouts might solve today's housing and infrastructure gridlock.

NOTHING WORKS IN UK! BECAUSE POLITICIANS HAVE NEVER HAD A PROPER JOB  #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #UKPolitics #CareerPoliticians#BrokenBritain #AndyBurnham #NigelFarage #PCAndrewHarper  Why does NOTHING seem to work properly in Britain anymore? The borders. The prisons. The NHS. Housing. Roads. Water. Government IT. The criminal justice system. Major infrastructure. We pay more and more tax — but where are the results? So tonight I'm asking a deliberately provocative question: IS ONE OF BRITAIN'S BIGGEST PROBLEMS THAT TOO MANY OF THE PEOPLE RUNNING THE COUNTRY HAVE NEVER HAD A PROPER JOB IN THE REAL WORLD?  Look at the people at the top of British politics. How many have spent a substantial part of their working lives running a business, meeting a payroll, selling something, making something, working on a building site, driving a van, working in a factory, serving customers or simply dealing with the pressures ordinary workers and employers face every day? Instead we've created the PROFESSIONAL POLITICIAN. University. Political researcher. Think tank. Union. Special adviser. MP. Minister. Cabinet. Politics isn't something they enter after experiencing life. POLITICS IS THEIR LIFE. And I think that matters. Where are the awkward, independent-minded MPs prepared to tell their own party: "That's complete rubbish and I'm not voting for it"? Where are the characters? The entrepreneurs? The people who've actually succeeded — or failed — outside Westminster? Last night millions of phones across England and Wales suddenly started screaming with an Emergency Alert warning about the extreme wildfire risk. Fine. Fire chiefs believed the danger justified it. But it got me thinking. WHAT DOES THIS GOVERNMENT CONSIDER AN EMERGENCY? We're in August. It's extremely hot. Most of us can work that out. But what about the prisons? What about the possibility of serious offenders being released early because we haven't built enough prison places? What about the extraordinary controversy over two men convicted of the manslaughter of PC Andrew Harper potentially qualifying for early release? What about foreign national offenders occupying prison places when the Government should be doing everything possible to remove those who can lawfully be deported? And what about the Channel? More than 3,000 people had crossed in small boats in the first fortnight of Andy Burnham's premiership, despite his promise to be "relentless" on the issue. These are the things many ordinary people are talking about. So why does Westminster so often appear to be having a completely different conversation? THEY DON'T LIVE IN OUR WORLD. And perhaps that's why they're so frightened of politicians who can bypass Westminster and connect directly with voters. Whatever you think of Nigel Farage, he understands how to communicate with people who believe the political establishment neither listens to them nor understands them. Perhaps that's the real political divide now. Not simply LEFT versus RIGHT. THE POLITICAL CLASS versus EVERYONE ELSE I want YOUR views.  Is Britain suffering because we've created a generation of career politicians? Should MPs have substantial real-world experience before entering Parliament? Would Parliament be better with more builders, nurses, engineers, soldiers, shopkeepers, farmers, factory workers and entrepreneurs — and fewer professional politicians?  Or is the whole idea nonsense and political experience exactly what ministers need? JUST ASKING! Join me LIVE and don't sit on the fence.

In the oldest Japanese municipalities, close to half the residents are already over 65. As young people move to cities, the retailers close, then the clinics, then the bus that used to reach the next town. Rural Japan is not simply ageing: it is emptying.Elisa Giannone (CREI, CEPR) and her co-authors have analysed Japan's 1,741 municipalities from 1980 onwards. The oldest quarter of them lost around 26% of their population by 2010; the youngest quarter grew by 22%, and the gap between them is still widening. Taxing city dwellers could reverse the trend. But that's a century-long policy, that would also lower national income per head by about 1.3%. There is no version of this without a bill attached, she warns.The research behind this episode:Giannone, Elisa, Yuhei Miyauchi, Nuno Paixão, Xinle Pang, and Yuta Suzuki. 2026. "Living in a Ghost Town: The Geography of Depopulation and Aging." CEPR Discussion Paper 21447 (gated).To cite this episode:Phillips, Tim, and Elisa Giannone. 2026. "What price to save Japan's ghost towns?" VoxTalks Economics (podcast).About the guestElisa Giannone is a researcher at CREI, an Adjunct Professor at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, an Affiliated Professor at the Barcelona School of Economics. She works on internal migration, regional income divergence, the spatial consequences of local shocks and the question of why people move.Research cited in this episodeSocial and natural population change. Demographers separate population movements through migration, known as social change, from births and deaths, known as natural change. Giannone's team runs both counterfactuals separately. Shut down migration and the oldest municipalities still age, but the population loss between 1980 and 2010 falls from nearly 0.3 log points to under 0.1. The framework follows Stanley Smith, Jeff Tayman and David Swanson's standard treatment of state and local population projections.Scale economies in local public services. A 1% increase in local population is associated with a 0.53% fall in municipal government spending per head. Roads, schools, clinics and administration carry a large fixed cost, so the cost of serving each remaining resident rises as a town shrinks. This is the fiscal arithmetic that makes depopulation expensive.Consumption-equivalent flow utility. The paper's measure of quality of life, amenity-adjusted real income. It captures what the residents of a place can actually buy and enjoy rather than what they earn on paper, which matters when the shops and the doctors are leaving.The five oldest prefectures. Kochi, Shimane, Tokushima, Tottori and Yamagata, ranked by elderly share in 2015. They are the target group in every policy simulation, and their combined elderly share reaches nearly 60% by 2215 under the baseline projection.Municipal extinction. Hiroya Masuda's 2014 book Chiho Shometsu warned that unipolar concentration in Tokyo would drive hundreds of rural municipalities out of existence. It set the terms of Japan's regional revitalisation debate, and the paper's projections give that warning a number.United Nations World Population Prospects. Giannone's figures for the global picture, including the count of countries that have already passed peak population and those projected to do so by the mid 2050s, come from the UN projections rather than from the paper itself.More VoxTalks Economics episodesEconomic decline and the rise of populism.

In Spiritual Authority: Sons & Daughters - Identity, Chad Everett continues the Spiritual Authority sermon series from Galatians 3:26 with a foundational question: Who am I? “Your identity is found in your relationship with Jesus. That you were created to be a son or daughter of God.” The world offers countless ways to define identity through careers, accomplishments, titles, status, or success, but Scripture points us somewhere deeper. Through faith in Jesus Christ, we are brought into the family of God as sons and daughters with a Father who loves us and calls us His own. That truth changes more than how we see ourselves. It changes how we relate to God. In John 17, Jesus reveals the depth of the Father's love for His children, even saying that the Father has loved them as He loved Jesus. Galatians also reminds us that this relationship is received through faith, not earned through performance or determined by emotion. And faith is not about trying to manufacture enough belief. “It's not about the intensity of my faith. It's about the object of my faith.” If God is truly our Father, who has the final say in our lives? Sonship is a relationship that shapes our obedience, our choices, and the way we reflect the character of the One we belong to. This message is an invitation to stop building identity on what can change and begin living from what God has already declared: through faith in Christ, know whose you are and live surrendered as a son or daughter of God.
