In this mini episode of the RV Miles podcast, Jason and Abby revisit past RV mythbusting segments from earlier episodes to see what still holds up, including whether you should buy an RV from Camping World, whether RV-specific toilet paper is necessary, and misconceptions about using Drano in RV plumbing (including cautions around waterless Hepvo traps). They also debunk bags of water with pennies to deter flies, discuss mixed claims about Irish Spring soap or dryer sheets for mice, and recommend sealing entry points, and dismiss the idea that you must be under 30 feet to camp in national parks. *Get links and more in the show notes at https://RVMiles.com/416 *Support RV Miles and independent RV journalism

On this week's episode of The RV Atlas Podcast, we head west to one of the most spectacular—and surprisingly diverse—RV destinations in the country and take a deep dive into […] The post RVing in Central Oregon: Campgrounds, Craft Beer, Food Culture, Outdoor Adventure + More! appeared first on The RV Atlas.

Ryan Duey was living in an RV with his float spas closed and no backup plan when he and Michael Garrett built their first cold plunge from a retrofitted $100 bathtub in a garage. They turned their Shopify store on with zero marketing—and got a sale. What followed was one of the most unlikely scaling stories in DTC history: $30 million to $80 million in a single year, $250 million in cumulative revenue, four sharks bidding on Shark Tank, and a category they essentially created from scratch—all bootstrapped, all assembled in-house in California. In this interview, the co-founders of Plunge break down the real cost of scaling a high-ticket inventory business, why they lost an estimated $20 million in revenue from lead times alone, and the organic influencer strategy that built the brand before they ever ran a paid ad. What you'll learn in this interview: • How they got their first sale with zero marketing—and the Black Friday that showed them how big this could get • The cash flow trap every inventory-heavy founder hits: why a great P&L and an empty bank account can exist at the same time • How customer prepayments funded growth for years—and what forced the switch to holding inventory • Why long lead times cost Plunge an estimated $20 million in lost sales • From buying parts on Amazon to co-designing a custom chiller in China—the full supply chain evolution • How a single Instagram comment to Aubrey Marcus started a chain of organic gifting to Huberman, Tony Hawk, and Rich Roll • The Shark Tank deal that never closed—and why they still got the PR, the airing, and the exposure • How they bought plunge.com from a New Orleans jazz band for $250K—and why the trademark was the bigger win • Why nearly half of all orders close through a phone call or SMS, not a checkout button • How they raised $1.3 million from their own customers in under two weeks via Wefunder If you're building a high-ticket DTC brand, navigating the brutal cash flow realities of an inventory-heavy business, or trying to grow without burning cash on paid ads before you're ready, this conversation will fundamentally change how you think about scaling, supply chain, and what it actually takes to build a category from a garage.

Wax is not dead. The detailing industry just got it wrong. For years, brands tried to evolve car wax by making it last longer, act more like a ceramic coating, or compete with ceramic sprays. But I think they missed the real point. People still love waxing their cars. They love the gloss. They love the slickness. They love the water beading. They love the feeling of protecting their car after a wash. The problem is wax became too much work. In this episode of the Auto Detailing Podcast, I talk about what I think the detailing industry got wrong about wax, why simplicity matters, and why wax did not need to disappear — it needed to evolve. Wax does not have to last forever to matter. It just has to be easy enough that people actually use it. That is the idea behind Wax 'N Relax. It is not trying to be a five-year ceramic coating. It is not trying to replace Tough As Shell or The Gloss Boss. It is simply the fastest, easiest way to add gloss, slickness, water beading, and protection after a wash. If you have a car, truck, RV, boat, work vehicle, or daily driver that you want to protect without overthinking it, this is the conversation for you.

David Hiler's answer to “What does it mean to be growth ready? ”is simple—and hard-earned: adapt to whatever comes your way.A lifelong runner and hospitality entrepreneur, David's life changed fast when a knee issue turned into cancer. Faced with two paths—an invasive rebuild with uncertain outcomes or amputation with a clear shot at living fully—he chose the decision that protected what mattered most: movement, presence, and the life he wanted to keep saying yes to.Then came the second wave: recovering during COVID while trying to keep multiple hospitality businesses alive. What followed wasn't just a comeback story. It was a full reset.In this conversation, David shares what it looked like to let go of the “more, bigger, next” mindset, selling the house, exiting the businesses, and trading a life of constant pressure for a life built around freedom, health, and daily happiness. Along the way, he talks candidly about the hard days too: the frustration, the self-consciousness, the work of journaling when you don't feel like it, and the discipline of choosing yourself before life forces the issue.About the Guest:David Hiler is a former hospitality operator who built and ran multiple businesses, including a restaurant and brewery, before stepping into a new chapter after losing his leg to cancer.Today, David works as a consultant for bed & breakfasts and country inns, while traveling full-time with his wife in an RV—building a life around movement, simplicity, and the places that make them feel most alive.He's also an advocate for accessible mobility through So Everybody Can Move, supporting efforts to improve insurance coverage for prosthetic options that help amputees live fully (including water legs, running blades, and sport-specific prosthetics).Connect with David:Instagram: @davidheilerAdvocacy:  https://soeverybodycanmove.orgSend us Fan MailSupport the showConnect with Steve MellorStay connected and keep growing with Steve:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-mellor-cc/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/coachstevemellorBook Steve to speak at your next event → www.stevemellorspeaks.comSupport the GrowthReady Podcast by leaving a 5-star rating → Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/growthready-podcast/id1406082163Connect with GrowthReadyJoin the community and keep your growth journey going:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/wearegrowthready/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/growthreadypodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/growthreadywithcoachstevemellorOfficial Website - https://growthready.com/----This podcast was produced on Riverside and released via ...

As housing preferences evolve, more buyers look beyond traditional subdivisions in search of greater privacy, flexibility and personalization. For many, that means building a custom home on land they already own or plan to purchase.  This week on Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio, Dean Cowart, principal of Cowart Residential, joins Host Carol Morgan to discuss the growing appeal of build-on-your-lot homes, the custom home building process and how today’s luxury buyers are redefining what they want from their living spaces.  The Growing Demand for Build-on-Your-Lot Homes  Build-on-your-lot construction continues to attract buyers entering a new phase of life. Many homeowners leave behind larger family homes and pursue a more intentional lifestyle on property that offers additional space and privacy. Many of these buyers gravitate toward North Georgia’s mountains and rural landscapes for a quieter pace of life.  “I think it’s a demand that people love to sort of get out of the rat race of Metro Atlanta into something that’s more tranquil,” said Cowart.  Build-on-your-lot opportunities give them the ability to create a residence tailored to their lifestyle without sacrificing location.  Navigating the Challenges of Building on Private Land  While selecting a floor plan excites many buyers, building on private property introduces several variables that they often underestimate. Soil conditions, topography, setback requirements and stormwater regulations all create unique considerations that can affect construction costs and timelines.  “What can be really scary is thinking about placing that on your lot and figuring out what are the nuances to this land that are going to affect the ultimate cost of my house,” said Cowart.  Cowart Residential guides clients through property evaluations before construction begins, helping them understand how factors like home placement, site development costs, surveys and municipal requirements all come together. By taking this proactive approach, the team ensures homeowners have a clearer picture of their overall investment and can move forward with greater confidence, avoiding unexpected challenges later in the process.  More Land Means More Freedom  Build-on-your-lot construction gives homeowners greater freedom. Unlike traditional neighborhoods with HOA restrictions, larger homesites allow homeowners to design a property around their unique needs and interests.  Whether homeowners want a detached workshop, RV storage, an accessory dwelling unit or a hobby farm, they gain significantly more flexibility than they would in a conventional subdivision.  “It [build-on-your-lot construction] really gives you the opportunity to be extremely creative with how you want to use the land and what your family needs are,” said Cowart.  This growing interest in flexibility continues to drive demand for larger homesites and homesteading-style living, trends Cowart expects to gain even more momentum.  Outdoor Living Remains a Top Priority  The pandemic sparked a renewed focus on outdoor living, and that trend continues to shape home design decisions today. Luxury buyers now prioritize seamless connections between indoor and outdoor spaces. Many request outdoor kitchens, covered living areas and expansive patios.  What Luxury Home Buyers Want in 2026  Platforms such as Pinterest, Instagram and Houzz influence how homeowners make design decisions and select products. Instead of relying on magazines and model homes, buyers now arrive with curated ideas and highly specific preferences.  Beyond personalization, buyers also prioritize flexibility during the design process. Cowart Residential often collaborates with homeowners’ interior designers to streamline selections and ensure the finished home reflects the client’s vision.  While kitchens and bathrooms remain focal points, homeowners increasingly seek unique finishes, specialty materials and customized features that set their homes apart.  Balancing Personalization & Budget  Although buyers have access to more inspiration than ever, they must still manage expectations and budgets throughout the custom home process. Cowart emphasizes the importance of involving the builder early, especially when working with an architect on a fully custom design. This collaboration helps align design decisions with financial goals before plans progress too far.  “We like to take an opportunity to have a discovery period,” said Cowart. “The builder can sort of guide you as the designs are getting created, knowing what your ultimate budget is.”  By establishing priorities early and creating a clear roadmap for finishes and selections, builders help homeowners make informed decisions and avoid costly redesigns later in the process.  Building Community at Enclave at Mill Creek  In addition to custom homes and build-on-your-lot opportunities, Cowart Residential is developing Enclave at Mill Creek, a new community in the City of Mulberry near Hamilton Mill.  The community features detached single-family homes in a thoughtfully planned setting that offers privacy, quiet streetscapes and attainable pricing in a highly desirable location. Designed with today's buyers in mind, the homes emphasize functional layouts, modern finishes and low-maintenance living, making them appealing to a wide range of homeowners, from young professionals to those looking to downsize.  Residents will also benefit from convenient access to nearby shopping, dining and major transportation corridors, while still enjoying the laid-back atmosphere of a smaller, emerging city. This balance of accessibility and tranquility has made the area especially attractive to buyers seeking both convenience and a sense of community.  The project has already proven successful due to its unique product offering and strategic location within one of metro Atlanta’s newest cities.  About Cowart Residential  For more than 40 years and across three generations, the Cowart family has built homes and communities throughout metro Atlanta and North Georgia. Led by Dean Cowart and Nick Williams, Cowart Residential specializes in custom homes, build-on-your-lot opportunities and thoughtfully designed residential communities tailored to today’s lifestyles. Drawing on decades of experience in homebuilding, land development and construction, Cowart Residential guides clients through every stage of the process, from site evaluation and design to construction and completion. Whether building on private land or within one of its communities, Cowart Residential is committed to delivering homes that reflect each homeowner’s vision while maintaining the highest standards of craftsmanship, quality and attention to detail.

Diversifying income streams, building community, and personal storytelling with Rebecca Blackwell. ----- Welcome to episode 576 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork interviews Rebecca Blackwell. Last week on the podcast, Bjork chatted with Jenna Arend. To go back and listen to that episode, click here. How Rebecca Blackwell Turned Food Blogging into a Six-Figure Digital Business from an RV Rebecca started out as a food blogger, but somewhere along the way, she traded a stable paycheck for a life on the road, running her digital business full-time from an RV! In this episode, she opens up about what that transition actually looked like: the risks she took by leaving a steady job, how the RV lifestyle reshaped her thinking about work and creative freedom, and why she made the strategic decision to manage multiple websites rather than rely on a single income stream. The conversation also gets into the community side of Rebecca's business. Specifically, how she's used Substack to build genuine connections with a growing audience of food writers. She shares practical advice on growing a newsletter, engaging readers, and landing sponsorships that feel like a natural fit. You'll also hear her talk about how she's navigating the challenges of AI and shifting search algorithms, why leaning into personal storytelling has been her biggest differentiator, and what she's learned from building community through mastermind groups and in-person retreats. Three episode takeaways: Diversify your income streams: Branching out to different avenues instead of relying on a single blog or platform gives you more creative freedom and financial stability, especially important in an era of unpredictable algorithm changes! Personal storytelling is your biggest differentiator: As AI and search engines continue to evolve, what sets your content apart isn't information. it's your unique voice, perspective, and lived experience. Rebecca's journey from food blogger to RV-dwelling digital creator is a perfect example of a story no algorithm can replicate. Community is a growth strategy: Whether it's building a newsletter on Substack, joining a mastermind group, or hosting retreats, investing in genuine relationships with your audience and peers pays dividends that go far beyond traffic and page views.

Today, I am speaking with a woman who is on her second stint of Workamping in Alaska with her family and enjoying an amazing experience. Jessie Watters is a full-time RVing mom of three who traded a traditional suburban lifestyle for a life of adventure, family travel and Workamping opportunities across the country. Just over a year ago, Jessie and her husband packed up their family, hit the road and began a journey that has already taken them from Alaska to Arizona and back again. In this episode, Jessie shares what it’s really like to raise three children in a 32-foot motorhome while managing campgrounds in some of Alaska’s most beautiful locations. She talks about the transition from a four-bedroom house to RV living, how Workamping has allowed her family to travel full time and why Alaska has captured their hearts. If you’ve ever wondered whether Workamping could work for a family with children, Jessie offers an honest look at the rewards and challenges. She explains how her kids are learning practical life skills on the road and why every day feels a little like a vacation. Workamping has given their family opportunities they never could have experienced otherwise. You’ll also hear about managing campgrounds for Alaska Recreational Management, living in bear country, boondocking in remote locations and navigating the famous Alaska Highway. Whether you’re a seasoned RVer or just beginning to explore the Workamping lifestyle, Jessie provides plenty of inspiration to help you understand what might be possible if you follow in their footsteps. Jessie and her family didn’t wait until everything was perfect before pursuing their dream. They accepted a Workamping position before they even owned an RV and figured things out along the way. One of the themes that stood out in this conversation was the importance of embracing change. Jessie shared how downsizing their possessions, adapting to close quarters and learning new skills helped their family grow stronger together. She also reminded us that Workamping can provide opportunities to experience places and lifestyles that many people only dream about. I also appreciated her perspective on Alaska. While many RVers worry about the distance, cost and challenges of getting there, Jessie believes the experience is well worth it. From managing campgrounds in Cooper Landing to living among mountains, glaciers and wildlife, she has found a place that truly feels like home. Her advice for anyone considering the Workamping lifestyle is don’t be scared. Your home travels with you, and the opportunities can be life changing. To learn more about Jessie’s adventures, connect with her on Facebook at The Watters Way, where she regularly shares family travels, fishing trips, hiking adventures and life on the road.

This week, a deadly heat warning from Grand Canyon National Park after multiple hikers died in extreme summer temperatures, a New Jersey RV park fire that destroyed several rigs, and flash flooding that trapped campers at a Gulfport RV resort. We'll also look at  @OutdoorsyRV 's rebrand as The Ride Platform, a new class action lawsuit involving Ram ProMaster vans used in many camper van and Class B RV builds, a new SuperSteer sway bar upgrade for Sprinter-based motorhomes, and AAA's latest Independence Day travel forecast.

For so many people in their 50s and early 60s, the road to retirement doesn't start with a perfect plan, it starts with fatigue. That's where Shawn is today. After decades of running two small businesses, volunteering as a firefighter, and never really turning “off,” he's finally asking the question every pre-retiree faces: When is enough… enough?This episode dives into the real challenges people face when they're 1–3 years from retirement: selling a business, navigating healthcare before Medicare, planning around a spouse's job and benefits, understanding true retirement spending, and figuring out what life looks like when the work phone finally stops ringing. Shawn shares his dream of RV travel, more fishing, more freedom — and the mental battle between “one more year” and finally pulling the trigger.You'll hear how he's approaching Social Security timing, retirement budgeting, burnout, identity, financial independence, and designing a lifestyle that actually fits who he is now. If you're preparing for retirement and wondering whether you're emotionally, financially, or physically ready to take the next step, this conversation is full of real-life insight — not theory.--Shawn is not a client of Root Financial Partners, LLC and received no compensation for participating in this video.

The RV industry is chasing the wrong generation. While manufacturers court 30-somethings with outdoor TVs and influencer campaigns, the buyers who are actually writing checks right now look nothing like the people in the ads.Last week I sat around a campfire in Hocking Hills, Ohio with 88 members of our RVCommunity. I asked how many had bought a new RV in the past year. Eleven hands went up. A 12th would have, but he was out on a six-mile hike. He was turning 70.That tells you everything the sales charts do not.In this episode we dig into who is really driving the RV market right now, what experienced RVers actually want that manufacturers keep missing, the quiet but alarming shift happening in our national parks, and a dramatic rescue on the Appalachian Trail that is a reminder of exactly why preparation matters out there.Read the companion blog post on RVing in the second half of life at RVLifestyle.com - link below.Here is the complete episode, start to finish.THE RV PODCAST - MONDAY NEWS EDITION Episode Air Date: Monday, June 23, 2026 - 6:00 AM Approx. Running Time: 25 Minutes Host: Mike WendlandTHE LAST GENERATION THAT KNOWS HOW TO TRAVEL ...and why the RV industry keeps ignoring themOPENLast week I was sitting around a campfire in Hocking Hills, Ohio, with about 50 members of our RVCommunity.com.I asked a simple question: how many of you have bought a brand new RV in the last year?Eleven hands went up. A 12th would have, but he was out on a six-mile sunset hike - and he was turning 70 that summer.This was happening while the RV industry is posting some of the worst wholesale shipment numbers in over a decade.Which raises a question the people running this industry ought to be asking themselves: who exactly are they building RVs for?Because I can tell you who is actually buying them. And they look nothing like the people in the ads.OPENINGGood morning and welcome to the RV Podcast Monday News Edition. I'm Mike Wendland.Eighteen Emmy Awards. Thirty-plus years covering everything from wars to the White House to consumer affairs. And for the past 15 years, living the RV lifestyle myself with my wife Jennifer in every type of rig you can imagine, coast to coast, all 48 contiguous states.Today's show is a little different. Instead of leading with a breaking story, I want to start with something I witnessed firsthand that I believe tells you more about the real state of the RV market than any press release you will read this year.And if you want to go deeper after you listen, I have been writing about this topic at RVLifestyle.com for the past several weeks. We have been exploring what it means to RV in the second half of life - the freedom, the community, the mindset, and yes, the ways the industry keeps getting it wrong. There is a link in the show notes. I think you will recognize yourself in it.Here is what is happening on the road. And here is what the industry is getting wrong. Let's get into it.LEAD STORY: THE LAST GENERATION THAT KNOWS HOW TO TRAVELThe RV industry is having a rough year. A really rough year. And the numbers tell the story fast, so let me give them to you and move on, because the real story is not the numbers. The real story is who is still out there buying and camping while those numbers grind downward.Wholesale shipments are down more than 13 percent through the first four months of 2026. Retail sales off 14 to 15 percent from last year. The industry's own forecast, just revised downward again this month, now projects this as one of the worst years for new RV sales in over a decade.So who is still buying?Here is what I can tell you from 15 years in this world and from what I saw last week in Hocking Hills. The people who are still writing checks for new RVs, right now, in the worst market in a decade, are the people the industry seems most determined to pretend do not exist.Baby Boomers. Older Gen Xers. People who grew up reading paper maps. Making reservations by phone. Talking to strangers when they got lost. Fixing things with their hands. Navigating real uncertainty with nothing but experience and nerve.According to industry research, Americans 50 and older remain the primary customer segment for RVs. Many are retirees fulfilling long-held travel dreams, and that population is still growing as the tail end of the baby boom ages into retirement. These are people with home equity, disposable income, and something even more valuable: the time and the confidence to actually use what they buy.And yet when you look at the ads. When you watch the Go RVing campaigns. When you walk the floor of any major RV show and look at the marketing materials stacked at the booths. You see toned and trendy 30-year-olds doing yoga on the roof of a Class B. You see influencers with ring lights and perfect hair. What you do not see is the 68-year-old retired engineer who just dropped $95,000 on a new fifth wheel and is headed to Alaska.That is a real blind spot. And I think it is costing the industry real money.Here is what I saw at our Hocking Hills rally. Eighty-eight people, ranging from their 50s into their 80s. Riding bikes and e-bikes and scooters. Hiking up and down some of the most spectacular terrain in the Midwest. One of our members, a retired RV technician, got under a fellow member's trailer and repacked the wheel bearings on the spot. Another couple spent an afternoon giving scooter lessons to anyone who wanted to learn.Nobody was stuck. Nobody was panicking. When something broke, someone fixed it. When someone needed help, someone helped them. These are people who grew up problem-solving before there was an app for it. And they brought every one of those skills out here.I asked how many had bought a new RV in the past year. Eleven hands went up. Twelve if you count the man who was out on a six-mile hike at 70 years old.This is happening while the industry chases 33-year-olds with solar panels and TikTok aesthetics.I am not saying younger buyers are not important. They are the future and we need them. But the marketing case being made inside RV boardrooms right now, that the 50-plus buyer is yesterday's news, is demonstrably wrong. And in a market this soft, you cannot afford to ignore your most reliable customer.I wrote about this at length over at RVLifestyle.com. It is part of an ongoing series we have been running on RVing in the second half of life. The link is in the show notes. If today's lead story speaks to you, that post will too.STORY 2: WHO IS ACTUALLY DRIVING THE MARKETThe demographic picture of who owns and buys RVs is more complicated than the ads suggest, and it is worth understanding.The median age of RV owners has come down in recent years. Younger buyers were absolutely part of the pandemic surge. Millennials and Gen Z now represent roughly 22 percent of RV owners - the same share as Baby Boomers - which tells you something about how quickly the demographics shifted during COVID.But here is what the industry sometimes misses in that data. Younger buyers came in during a period of historically low interest rates, flush pandemic savings, and work-from-home flexibility. Those conditions no longer exist. The buyers who are proving most resilient in this market are the ones who are not dependent on 7 percent financing to make the purchase work.Industry analyst Earl Hunter Jr., founder of The Unity Folks, put it bluntly in a recent trade publication outlook piece. He said the biggest trend in the RV industry right now is, simply, lack of growth. And that the industry has not figured out why emerging demographics and nontraditional consumers have little to no interest in the RV lifestyle.That is a real problem worth solving. But while the industry works on reaching new audiences, there is a generation of experienced, well-capitalized, deeply motivated buyers out on the road right now who built this market and are still carrying it. They deserve a little more respect than a supporting role in someone else's marketing story.STORY 3: WHAT EXPERIENCED RVers ACTUALLY WANT - AND WHAT MANUFACTURERS KEEP MISSINGI want to tell you one more thing from Hocking Hills, because I think it reveals something important about the disconnect between what the industry is building and what experienced RVers actually need.During our campfire conversation, I asked people what features they most use in their current rigs. What do they love. What they would change.Nobody mentioned outdoor TVs. Not one person. This is notable because outdoor entertainment has been one of the most aggressively marketed RV features of the last several years. Manufacturers have been loading up rigs with outdoor TVs, outdoor kitchens, outdoor speakers. The assumption is that RVers want to recreate the suburban living room experience outside.Our members were out hiking six miles. They were packed into a campfire circle talking to each other. They were fixing each other's trailers. The last thing they wanted was a television.What did they talk about wanting? Better towing stability. Improved service networks. Simpler systems that do not require a software update to turn on the hot water. Quality that lasts. And dealers who actually know the products they are selling.These are people with decades of RV miles behind them. They know exactly what they need and exactly what they do not. When you have that kind of experience, you stop being impressed by features and start being impressed by reliability.The industry could learn a lot by listening more carefully to the people who have been doing this the longest....

Cancer Caused by His Volunteer Work at a New York Attack: A 9/11 Volunteer's Fight Against Lung Cancer, Trauma, and Finding Hope. Those words summarize a journey that began with selfless service and evolved into a decades-long battle for survival. Twenty-five years after volunteering at Ground Zero following the September 11 terrorist attacks, Craig Sotkovsky continues fighting a different enemy, an aggressive form of lung cancer linked to toxic exposure at the World Trade Center. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. His remarkable story is featured on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and shared across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, and other major News and podcast platforms.

The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. #LawEnforcementTalk #Free #Podcast #Radio One Decision Changed Everything On September 11, 2001, Craig Sotkovsky watched history unfold from his home in Jersey City, New Jersey. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. Like millions of Americans, he watched in disbelief as the Twin Towers collapsed after terrorists hijacked commercial airliners and carried out one of the deadliest attacks in U.S. history. But unlike most Americans, Craig didn't remain a spectator. A skilled carpenter and mason, he volunteered to help. He joined the bucket brigade at Ground Zero and spent two of the first five days working in the debris field following the collapse of the World Trade Center. Cancer Caused by His Volunteer Work at a New York Attack: A 9/11 Volunteer's Fight Against Lung Cancer, Trauma, and Finding Hope. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. At the time, he believed he was simply helping his country. He had no idea the toxic dust surrounding him would follow him for the rest of his life. "Twenty-five years ago, I answered a call for help." The Hidden Cost of Being a Volunteer Ground Zero contained a dangerous mixture of pulverized concrete, asbestos, glass fibers, lead, fuel residue, and countless other hazardous materials released when the towers collapsed. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. Years later, Craig received devastating news. He had developed a rare and aggressive lung cancer connected to his exposure at the World Trade Center. The diagnosis transformed every part of his life. He underwent multiple cancer surgeries. He endured physical pain, emotional trauma, and overwhelming financial hardship. The illness eventually cost him nearly everything. "Cancer changed everything." More Than a Medical Battle Craig explains that surviving cancer became more than simply recovering from surgery. It became a complete rebuilding of his identity. He describes losing financial security, emotional stability, and the life he once knew. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. Yet amid tremendous hardship, he discovered something unexpected. Purpose. "Growth can come from pain." That philosophy became the foundation for what Craig now calls "Gro-Win Through Pain," a message encouraging others to find strength through life's darkest moments. Cancer Caused by His Volunteer Work at a New York Attack: A 9/11 Volunteer's Fight Against Lung Cancer, Trauma, and Finding Hope. Trauma Doesn't Always End When the Crisis Is Over Many people associate September 11 with the horrific events of that single morning. Craig reminds listeners that for thousands of responders, recovery workers, and volunteers, the disaster never truly ended. For many, the effects emerged years later through chronic illness, cancer, respiratory disease, and lasting emotional trauma. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast continues bringing listeners real conversations from the front lines of crime, policing, trauma, survival, and healing. His story highlights the reality that some of the greatest wounds are invisible for years. Research Continues to Show Elevated Cancer Risks Craig's experience reflects what researchers have documented for years. Studies examining World Trade Center responders have found elevated rates of several cancers among those exposed to Ground Zero dust. One study published in JAMA followed more than 12,000 World Trade Center responders. Researchers found that participants reporting heavier exposure experienced nearly three times the incidence of lung cancer compared with responders reporting minimal exposure, even after accounting for smoking history and other demographic factors. Cancer Caused by His Volunteer Work at a New York Attack: A 9/11 Volunteer's Fight Against Lung Cancer, Trauma, and Finding Hope. The complete interview is available as a Free Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, LinkedIn, and major podcast platforms. While every individual's medical history is unique, Craig's diagnosis illustrates the very real health consequences many volunteers and first responders continue to face decades later. A Mission Across America As the 25th anniversary of September 11 approaches, Craig is preparing for another mission. He plans to travel across America in an RV to honor those who lost their lives, recognize responders and volunteers still living with the consequences of that day, and share stories of resilience, perseverance, and hope. His journey is no longer defined by cancer. It is defined by purpose.

A pastor with 550,000 miles on his truck might not look like your typical ministry story, and that's exactly why this conversation sticks. Anthony takes us from a strict but loving childhood shaped by his grandmother's church faith, to the teenage years where he ran hard in the other direction, and then to the moment his own daughter invited him back. We dig into what Christian calling and obedience really look like when life gets messy. Anthony shares how ministry grew step by step: serving in a middle-school church plant, feeling the tug toward youth ministry, getting trained, preaching, and eventually being ordained. Then came COVID, burnout, and a surprising pivot into RV transport, trucking across the country while building a YouTube ministry. If you've ever felt stuck waiting for the “big change,” you'll love his simple decision-making prayer: “God, if this is you, open the doors. But if it's not, close them.”Subscribe for more faith stories that feel honest, share this with a friend who's in a season of waiting, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.

This sermon from Matthew 5:21–26 explores how Jesus transforms our understanding of anger, judgment, and righteousness in the Kingdom of God. Jesus moves beyond the external command “do not murder” and reveals that the heart behind our actions matters, exposing how anger, insults, and self-righteous judgment can separate us from others and from God. He calls His people not only to avoid harm but to pursue reconciliation, humility, and restored relationships before worship. Through the story of an RV and the weight of feeling betrayed, the sermon reveals how easily we hold others to debts they cannot repay while forgetting the greater truth that we ourselves have a debt of sin we could never repay. Yet the gospel declares that Jesus, the perfect Judge and Savior, paid our debt through His sacrifice, freeing us from both the burden of condemnation and the desire to condemn others. Because Christ has forgiven us, we are called to live as citizens of His Kingdom: reconciled, humble, forgiving, and trusting that our ultimate justice is found in Him.

Through workshops, lectures, and presentations, she focuses on practical planning, resilience, sustainability, and building realistic paths toward long-term self-reliance.Key TopicsAly RiddleRiddle Ridge HomesteadHomesteading: Is It the Lifestyle for You?Self-sufficiency and resilienceEmotional challenges of homesteadingFinancial planning before buying landCommunity and neighbor relationshipsRural versus urban lifestylesInfrastructure costs and land developmentPreparedness and disaster resilienceBuilding realistic homestead plansPersonal consultations for aspiring homesteadersHurricane Helene recovery lessonsThe Encyclopedia of Country Living by Carla EmeryKey Questions AnsweredWhy did Aly choose the homesteading lifestyle?After experiencing multiple personal tragedies and a divorce, Aly decided to rebuild her life from scratch. She left the corporate world, traveled in an RV, and eventually found a path toward a simpler, more intentional lifestyle.What inspired the book Homesteading: Is It the Lifestyle for You?Aly and her husband noticed many people leaving homesteading after only a couple of years because they entered the lifestyle with unrealistic expectations. The book was created to help people understand what they are truly signing up for before they buy land.What makes this book different from other homesteading books?Most homesteading books focus on skills and projects after purchasing land. Aly's book focuses on the planning, financial, emotional, and practical considerations that should happen years before purchasing property.What is the biggest misconception about homesteading?Many people believe homesteading is a slower, stress-free lifestyle. In reality, it replaces urban stresses with different challenges that require resilience, adaptability, and commitment.How does Aly define homesteading?Homesteading is any effort to become more self-sufficient and less dependent on systems that can fail. It can happen in rural settings, suburban backyards, or even urban apartments.What hidden costs surprise new homesteaders?Infrastructure expenses such as wells, septic systems, driveways, utilities, and ongoing maintenance are often underestimated. Many people also overestimate how quickly a homestead can generate income.Why is community important for homesteaders?Strong neighbor relationships provide support, skill sharing, trade opportunities, and resilience during emergencies. Community often determines long-term success more than individual effort.What lesson did Aly learn from a tornado striking her property?The experience reinforced that no amount of planning eliminates uncertainty. Gratitude, adaptability, and resilience become essential when nature disrupts carefully crafted plans.What drives Aly's work today?She is passionate about helping people move from dreaming about self-sufficiency to creating practical, realistic plans that can succeed over the long term.Episode HighlightsAly rebuilt her life after personal tragedy by leaving corporate life and traveling full-time in a vintage RV.She met her future husband on the very first day of a work-camping opportunity in Florida.Their homesteading journey required far more planning and time than they originally expected.Emotional resilience is often more important than practical skills for long-term success.Homesteading can be practiced anywhere, not just on large rural properties.New homesteaders frequently underestimate infrastructure and development costs.Community relationships can be as valuable as land, tools, and equipment.A tornado that dropped over 100 trees on Aly's property became a lesson in gratitude and resilience.Calls to Action & ResourcesBook — Homesteading: Is It the Lifestyle for You?

Henry sinks deeper into his coma-dream, complete with a doctor telling him to "remove the anchor." Jade realizes the bottle tree grows right on top of the bone chamber and pitches a two-team extraction plan. And in a closing scene for the ages, the Man in Yellow lures Tabitha to the RV, decorates it with Ethan's stolen drawings, and terrifies her not with violence but with affection. Plus a Fromspiracy that might break your brain about the fallen tree in the road, the return of the Joni Mitchell needle drop, and a RIP for Fatima — who is dead, but also standing right there.

SummaryRV toilet problems can be frustrating, but most of them come down to a few basic areas: the bowl seal, water valve, floor flange, black tank, or water supply. In this episode of The Smart RVer Podcast, Eric walks through common RV toilet issues, including leaks, bad odors, a bowl that won't hold water, toilets that rock, and toilets that won't flush properly.Rather than assuming the whole toilet needs to be replaced, Eric explains how to narrow the problem down and look at the simple causes first. A worn blade seal, a loose water fitting, a clogged black tank, a cracked valve, or mineral buildup can often be diagnosed without tearing everything apart. He also explains the difference between a regular clog and a pyramid plug, and why knowing that difference matters.This episode also includes practical advice on what to check before buying a replacement toilet, such as the water line location, floor flange condition, bolt pattern, and available space. Eric also shares the “hold the line, turn the nut” approach for RV water fittings to help prevent leaks when making repairs.The goal is simple: help RVers understand what is going wrong, fix what they can, and avoid spending money on parts they may not need.Show NotesRV toilet problems are among the things every RVer wants fixed quickly. A leaking toilet, a bad smell, or a toilet that won't flush right can turn a good trip into a frustrating one fast. The good news is that many RV toilet problems are easier to understand once you separate the issue into the right category.In this episode, Eric breaks down the most common RV toilet problems and explains where to start looking before assuming the toilet needs to be replaced.What We Cover in This EpisodeThe bowl won't hold waterIf water slowly disappears from the bowl, the problem is usually the blade seal or ball seal. That seal helps hold water in the bowl and blocks odors from rising from the black tank.Water is leaking behind the toiletA leak behind the toilet often points to the water valve, the supply line, or a loose connection. Eric explains why it is important to check fittings carefully and avoid overtightening plastic parts.The toilet rocks or feels looseA rocking toilet may be caused by loose bolts, a damaged floor flange, or a soft floor. This is one issue you do not want to ignore because movement can lead to leaks or further damage.Bad smells in the bathroomOdors can come from a bad seal, black tank problems, venting issues, or poor tank treatment habits. The smell is not always the toilet itself, so it helps to look at the whole system.Clog vs. pyramid plugNot every blockage is the same. A simple clog and a pyramid plug are two different problems, and they require different solutions. Eric explains the difference and why black tank habits matter.Toilet replacement tipsBefore replacing an RV toilet, check the water line location, floor flange, bolt pattern, space behind the toilet, and the condition of the floor. A toilet may look like a simple swap, but small details can make installation harder than expected.Water fitting tip: hold the line, turn the nutEric also explains a simple rule for working with RV water fittings: hold the line steady and turn the nut. This helps prevent the water line from twisting and creating a leak during repairs.Main TakeawayMost RV toilet problems are easier to fix once you identify their source. Start with the simple things first: seals, fittings, water supply, the floor flange, the black tank, and the venting system. A little troubleshooting can save money, prevent damage, and keep your RV trip moving in the right direction.Resources Mentioned in this Episode: RV Toilet Compact Water Valve Simple Upgrade KitRV Pex Fittings and Tube - What to Keep in Your Tool BoxRV Water Lines and Fittings Made Simple in 2026Spray Port Fitting Video - Fix It Before It BreaksRV Pex Line Water Repair Kits - A must-have for any RVContact Us - Call, Text, Video, EmailOur Online Resources: The Smart Rver YouTube Channel - Check Out Our No-Nonsense YouTube VideosSunpro Mfg - RV Sunshade, Windshield Covers & Slide Out Awning FabricsHot Boat Ropes - Marine Cordage- Anchor Lines, Dock Lines, Tow Lines, etc.Top Rated Podcast - The Smart RVer Podcast Website

Key TakeawaysThe biggest value-add opportunity in self-storage isn't always raising rents—it's adding units. Expanding a facility can create significantly more value than operational improvements alone.Look for excess land when buying self-storage. Vacant land, truck parking, RV storage, or underutilized areas can often be converted into additional storage units.Modular storage containers allow you to expand in phases. Instead of investing heavily upfront, operators can add units as demand grows, reducing risk and vacancy.Simple site designs often outperform maximized layouts. Customer experience, ease of access, safety, and traffic flow can be more valuable than squeezing in a few extra units.Small business customers are often the best tenants. Contractors, HVAC companies, home stagers, and other service businesses tend to stay longer and expand into additional units over time.Unit mix matters. Offering a combination of different sizes can help attract a broader customer base and maximize occupancy.Appearance affects leasing. New, well-maintained units create a better customer experience and can command stronger demand than older, worn containers.Run the numbers before expanding. In Tyler's example, a relatively small capital investment in additional units had the potential to create hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional property value.Think beyond cash flow. Every dollar of NOI created through expansion can dramatically increase a property's value through cap rate compression and future refinancing opportunities.The best self-storage deals often have hidden expansion potential. What looks like excess parking, RV storage, or unused land today may become the highest-return portion of the investment tomorrow

Episode Description Are you truly being yourself—or are you letting the opportunity pass you by? In this thought‑provoking and story‑packed episode of Kent Hance, The Best Storyteller in Texas, Kent Hance opens with a simple but powerful truth: "Be yourself… everyone else is already taken." It's a message that sets the stage for a wide‑ranging conversation about identity, opportunity, and what it really takes to succeed in today's world.  Kent dives into the idea of the American Dream—Is it still alive, or slipping away? With insights drawn from real data and personal experience, he explores why so many people feel it's out of reach…and why others still believe hard work is still the path forward. One key takeaway stands out: your mindset shapes your outcome. Whether you believe success comes from effort or luck may determine everything.  Throughout the episode, Kent blends history, economics, and storytelling in his signature style. Listeners are reminded just how far society has come—from kings living without modern conveniences to everyday people enjoying comforts we now take for granted. One surprising moment highlights how modern technology has spread globally in ways that would have been unimaginable just a generation ago.  And of course, the stories are unforgettable. From a burglar breaking into an RV just to find clothes for his court appearance, to a bizarre case involving a stolen seven‑foot shark replica, Kent delivers humor that highlights a deeper truth: common sense isn't always common. These moments keep you engaged while reinforcing real‑world lessons.  The episode also explores powerful themes of capitalism, innovation, and wealth creation. Kent highlights how major success stories—from billionaires to emerging entrepreneurs—don't just represent personal success, but job creation and economic growth. His perspective is clear: systems that reward initiative tend to create opportunity.  History takes center stage as Kent reflects on the lasting impact of the Magna Carta—a turning point that helped establish individual rights and shaped modern democratic systems. It's a reminder that many freedoms people enjoy today were built over time through struggle, negotiation, and vision. Listeners will also hear incredible real‑life stories about persuasive personalities, questionable schemes, and the fine line between ambition and deception. One standout takeaway: just because something sounds convincing doesn't mean it's real. Even intelligent people can be misled if they stop asking the right questions.  The episode closes with practical, everyday advice—from travel insights and observations about the best places to eat and stay, to simple habits that can save time, money, and stress. One powerful reminder: taking care of small things early prevents big problems later. By the end of the episode, Kent delivers a clear message: success isn't about imitating others—it's about understanding who you are, thinking critically, and acting when opportunity appears. Call to Action If this episode made you think, laugh, or reconsider your perspective, take a moment to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who values meaningful stories and practical wisdom.

This episode was hosted by Marc Sollinger. Storytellers: Kristina Miggiani must decide what to do with her wedding ring after her fiance passes away.
