It is an honor to welcome back Voices of Service to The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast. In 2012, military veterans Ron Henry, Christal Realms, Jason Hanna, and Caleb Green formed the quartet and have sung together ever since. The Voices of Service became household names in 2019 when they auditioned for NBC's talent competition, America's Got Talent. The group's spectacular harmonies received praise from Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, and former judges Gabrielle Union and Julianne Hough. The group reached the Season 14 finale, where they placed fifth. In 2020, Voices of Service performed during the America's Got Talent – The Champions: Season Two qualifiers. Despite not advancing to the Semifinals, Cowell, Mandel, Heidi Klum, and Britain's Got Talent judge Alesha Dixon joined the audience in giving them a standing ovation for their potent cover of Kodaline's “Brother.” That same year, the group released their first four-song extended play, Rise, which contained the original tune “Let Me Raise My Voice.” In 2021 and 2022, the quartet released original songs “Come Home” and “Hope” respectively. They also dropped a holiday EP, Deck the Halls, in 2022 that featured the group's interpretations of “Deck the Halls,” “Joy to the World,” and “Sleigh Ride.” In this episode of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Voices of Service discussed whether they would be interested in returning to compete for another AGT spin-off and talked about touring life.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar--4112003/support.

In an era where America is experiencing a construction boom, from new suburban developments to city revitalizations, there's a hidden challenge in built environments we can't afford to overlook: a glaring shortage of skilled tradespeople. As cities like San Francisco witness the top global construction cost at $440 per square foot, the stakes are incredibly high. With much of the labor force in construction aging out or moving to more stable markets, the industry faces an existential dilemma.So, what led us to this tipping point of a talent shortage in construction, and how can we stem the tide amongst a construction boom?Welcome to this week's second of a two-part series on decarbonization and built environments on DisruptED, hosted by Ron Stefanski. Our guest today is Ron Henry, the Senior Vice President of Sachse Construction, and together they delve into the intricacies of the talent pool crisis facing the construction industry.Stefanski and Henry also touch on:How the Great Recession of 2008 caused a talent drain from Northern states like Michigan to more stable markets in the South, creating a long-term deficit in skilled trades.Why a generational disconnect has also played a role in the talent pool crisis in the construction industry.How the scarcity of skilled labor contributes to a dramatic rise in construction costs, impacting project timelines and overall budgets.Ron Henry is the Senior Vice President of Sachse Construction. With years of industry experience and a focus on community engagement, Ron and his team have spearheaded initiatives like the Sachse Construction Academy, aiming to draw more young people into the skilled trades.

As cities around the world face urgent questions of sustainability and carbon reduction, Detroit is becoming a testing ground for decarbonization in built environments. In 2020, $10 trillion was to be invested in new structures over the next decade, and given that buildings account for 37% of combustion-related emissions globally, the stakes have never been higher.So, how can the construction industry adapt to not only create innovative structures but also do so sustainably?This topic is at the forefront of the latest episode, the first of a two-part series on DisruptED, hosted by Ron Stefanski. Joining him is Ron Henry, the Senior Vice President of Sachse Construction, a man with four decades of experience in design and construction. Together, they dig deep into the challenges and opportunities that decarbonization presents for cities like Detroit and the construction industry at large.In this episode, they discuss:The three scopes of decarbonization: Direct emissions from buildings, fuel consumption, and materials used.How increasing construction costs impact the willingness to adopt sustainable practices.The transformation of Detroit into a living lab for sustainable urban development.Ron Henry is a University of Michigan alum with a Masters in Architecture. A veteran of the construction and architecture fields in the Greater Detroit area, he has been instrumental in tripling the size of Sachse Construction. Notably, he is a thought leader in the realm of sustainable built environments.

In this episode of the DREAM. THINK. DO. podcast, Mitch Matthews talks with Ron Henry, founder of the premier brand and multi-million dollar company BlackRapid. Ron spent over 10 years as a photographer before he took the risk and invented and patented an entirely new type of camera strap. He launched BlackRapid and it has now become known for its great products and for a culture that cultivates growth, creativity, and innovation. Listen To The Podcast: There's a reasonable risk is scary… It's because there's no guarantee how things will turn out.   My next guest on DREAM THINK DO, Ron Henry, is familiar with risk. After 10 years as a successful wedding photographer in the Seattle-area, he decided he wanted more out of life.  So he started to pursue an idea and he invented and patented a new camera strap. Less than 10 years later, that one idea has grown into the multi-million dollar company BlackRapid, which is now known as the world's premier brand for camera straps. The risk clearly paid off. In our conversation, Ron talks about those early years of what pushed him to take that leap when he already had a successful career.   Plus, we dig into the importance of starting right where you are.  And… we discuss how he started small and kept pushing forward. That part of the conversation is TOTALLY worth it… but wait there's more! A bonus aspect of this interview is when we start to talk about creating a business culture that works.    Ron obviously values people and he's taken specific steps to cultivate an environment that inspires innovation, loyalty and full engagement - both internally and externally.   Listen to this episode for inspiration as Ron talks about the importance of timing in achieving big dreams and being able to create a life you love.   In this episode, you will… Be inspired to start on your dream regardless of where you are Learn why taking the risk to pursue your dream is worth it Gain insight into how what you think either creates or limits your success Learn how to create a workplace culture that people love   Episode Resources BlackRapid MitchMatthews.com/129 DREAM.

Blackrapid's founder Ron Henry faced a hard truth late 2013 when he was diagnosed with Cancer.  This is about his journey through the process from start to finish. He kept it private for almost a year and this is the first time he has gone public. This is Part 1 which takes us from diagnosis to post surgery.   Notes from Ron: "In the mirror of the hospital's waiting room.. I see an old lady sitting in a wheel chair, her daughter waits with her. I see the sadness of the caregiving daughter who has taken her mothers sickly energy and begins to look similar in body posture and frumpiness of not caring anymore. Her life was to keep her mother alive.  It was pretty much silent as they sat together with no conversation except for when the daughter wanted to go to the rest room and leave her for a minute. She told her three times I will be back you'll be ok. Then she left and was back as if she hurried her break not to be gone long. Her mother sat silent when she returned as if she really never knew her daughter left.  I see myself in the mirror with dated floral furniture and a 20 year old photo of Seattle as if this was to keep my spirits high and my mind off of this why i was there -  I can smell the dying mother from the far corner of the room where I stood. I was hoping soon she would be wheeled away to see the doctor so I can take a normal breath again. This is not me in the mirror I manifest cool things and great adventures. I have no more holes in my belt to cinch it any tighter. This is a day to be in the sun that shines through the dirty 18th floor window with its grand view of the city. I have my dog that brings me happiness staying with a friend in Bellevue so I can talk about how to beat this thing. I feel this is not me- this is not my story. When i finally wrap my head around this - It will not be the end - it will be a chapter and short chapter at best."

He kept it private for almost a year and this is the first time he has gone public. This is Part 2 which explains the whole radiation process.   "This may have been one of the hardest things in my life that I have had to deal with. I want to thank the team of doctors at the UW Hospital in Seattle who worked with us and the loving support of friends and family, I couldn't have done this with out you".     -Ron
