Most restoration owners have a crazy story about how they got into the business, but very few have survived a first job so brutal it almost drove them out of the industry forever.In this episode of Restoration Pros Unplugged, host Clinton James sits down with Andrew Rickabaugh, co-owner of Rick and Ball Restoration and a One Tom Plumber franchise in Huntsville, Alabama. Andrew pulls back the curtain on his non-linear path to entrepreneurship, spanning roles as a paramedic, firefighter, Huntsville police officer, and a 20-year career in the Marine Corps. The real turning point, however, came at age 24 when he was hired into a restoration firm as an area manager, only to find himself leading an operational disaster. Handed a mountain of derailed reconstruction files, Andrew spent his days visiting furious homeowners and eating crow for mistakes made by completely unmanaged crews. The experience was so exhausting that he quit after 364 days, vowing never to set foot in the restoration industry again.The story didn't end there. Years later, a call from his brother-in-law and business partner, Kevin Ball, convinced him to return on his own terms to launch an independent company. Andrew breaks down how they put their heads down and did the dirty grunt work themselves, organically climbing the organic rankings to become the highest-rated restoration firm in a hyper-competitive market. He details their strategic expansion into the commercial market, explaining what it takes to find and manage a high-performing business development rep who isn't afraid to pick up the phone and build long-term relationships with property managers.To eliminate the expensive, margin-choking bidding wars over third-party plumbing referrals, Andrew and Kevin made the bold choice to buy a One Tom Plumber franchise. Now managing a team in the mid-30s with a fleet of 15 service vehicles, Andrew shares raw insight into how they handle modern operational constraints. He explains how they utilize AI tools to audit scopes and counter insurance adjusters using strict IICRC guidelines, and why they are aggressively pivoting toward a customer financing model to bypass carrier delays and compress their average 30-day reconstruction start times.Whether you are a military veteran looking to make the leap into home services or an established restorer feeling trapped as the bottleneck in your own business, Andrew's perspective on efficiency, tech integration, and self-reliance will reframe your growth strategy. He leaves listeners with a powerful reminder on the true value of entrepreneurship: if you don't own your business, you can't control your future.- Connect with Our GuestLearn more about Andrew and his team: www.rickandball.com- Scale Your Restoration BusinessWant to generate exclusive, high-intent water damage jobs and build an inbound marketing system you actually own?

Send us Fan MailYour software is only as trustworthy as the dependencies you quietly inherit and attackers know it. Today I break down the NCSC warning on software supply chain security and why open source package ecosystems have become a high-value target for real-world compromises that spread fast through CI/CD pipelines.I walk through the attack patterns that keep showing up in incidents: maintainer account compromise, expired domain takeover, typosquatting, and credential chaining. We connect each technique to the CISSP mindset so you can spot it in scenario questions and, more importantly, recognise it in your own environment. Along the way, I explain why Node.js, Python, and Rust projects are especially exposed, how automation can turn “latest version” convenience into an enterprise incident, and why developer environments often become an overlooked attack surface.Then we get practical with controls you can actually implement: pausing automatic dependency updates when compromise is suspected, adding human approval for critical packages, rotating credentials immediately, enforcing MFA on developer and registry accounts, and using private or trusted registries to mirror and vet dependencies. I also zoom out to show how to build supply chain security into the secure SDLC with software composition analysis (SCA), code signing, checksum verification, audit logging, continuous monitoring, and an SBOM so you can respond fast when a package turns toxic.If this helps you tighten your dependency management and level up your CISSP prep, subscribe, share this with a teammate, and leave a quick review so more security pros can find the show.Gain exclusive access to 360 FREE CISSP Practice Questions at FreeCISSPQuestions.com and have them delivered directly to your inbox!  Don't miss this valuable opportunity to strengthen your CISSP exam preparation and boost your chances of certification success.

You roast the same coffee, same profile — and it tastes completely different. The culprit is often hiding in your green coffee beans: moisture content and water activity. In this episode, Ingo from Roast Rebels breaks down what these two parameters mean, why they matter for green coffee quality and food safety, and how they directly shape your roast.What you'll learn:▸ Moisture content should sit between 10–12%. Below 8–9%: quality risk (hay, baked notes, fast aging). Above 12–13%: health risk from mold and bacteria.▸ Water activity measures how freely water is bound in the bean (scale 0–1). SCA defines specialty coffee as below 0.7. Best practice: 0.5–0.6. Above 0.78: high microbial risk.▸ Higher moisture = more energy needed in the drying phase. Lower moisture = faster drying, more careful heat management required.▸ Proper packaging (GrainPro or Ecotact inside burlap) protects both parameters during storage and transport.▸ Water activity has been underused in roasting due to expensive equipment — affordable tools are now changing this fast.▸ Roast Rebels measures moisture content, density, and water activity on every green coffee delivery. Coffee at 13.5% moisture has been rejected.Links & ResourcesGreen Coffee – A Guide for Roasters and BuyersMeasuring Devices at Roast RebelsRoast Rebels Academy – Online Courses for Home & Pro RoastersRoast Rebels ShopAbout Roast RebelsRoast Rebels is Europe's go-to platform for specialty coffee roasting.

Ch 10 axes I'm A Celebrity | Angus Ross returns to 7 | Kyle & Jackie O staff sacked | Colbert's bizarre finale | Eurovision TV tech Rob McKnight, television and radio producer-presenter with over 30 years experience, brings you the week's biggest media industry stories from his garage on the Gold Coast. - Channel 10 confirms I'm a Celebrity axing — Rob broke it first - Angus Ross returns to Seven in expanded MD role - Kyle & Jackie O staff redundancies — Intern Pete speaks out - Stephen Colbert's Late Show finale and the $40M question - NBC reporter mocked for White House shooting reaction - Behind the scenes of Eurovision's world feed graphics system Channel 10 has confirmed the axing of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! — and Rob broke the story over a week before the official announcement. Despite other outlets calling it speculation, his trusted sources were right. Again. Angus Ross is back at Channel 7 — and in a bigger role. After being sacked in March following 27 years at the network, the popular programmer returns as Managing Director, Television and Streaming. Meanwhile, veteran commercial director Bruce McWilliam has quietly become Southern Cross Media's second-biggest shareholder, setting the cat among the pigeons after the 7/SCA merger. The fallout from the Kyle and Jackie O axing continues, with three more team members — including the show's censor — now made redundant. Rob's recent interview with Intern Pete gives an inside look at how the team is coping, with the Kyle/Jackie O legal action against ARN still playing out in court. Stephen Colbert's Late Show finale was, by Rob's assessment, a bizarre farewell. With Paramount citing $40 million in annual losses and speculation about Trump's influence, Rob examines whether the show's enormous overheads — including custom-made Armani suits for every appearance — contributed to its demise. And what does it mean for the future of late night TV? Plus: an NBC reporter gets mocked online for her measured reaction to gunshots at the White House — and Rob has something to say about that. And a fascinating look at the extraordinary broadcast technology behind Eurovision's global graphics sync.

In this series of The Daily Coffee Pro Podcast by Map It Forward, we've been discussing leadership, hospitality, workplace culture, and the future of coffee businesses.In this final episode, host Lee Safar and Isabela ask a difficult but important question: Why is “specialty coffee” failing as a value proposition?This conversation challenges many of the systems, assumptions, and power structures that have shaped the global specialty coffee industry over the last two decades.Lee and Isabela explore whether the modern specialty coffee movement has drifted away from its original intention of creating a more equitable and values-driven coffee supply chain, and whether it has instead recreated many of the same extractionist behaviors it originally claimed to oppose.The discussion looks at who gets to define “quality coffee,” why producing countries are increasingly challenging Western-centric definitions of specialty coffee, and how organizations like the SCA and CVA continue shaping industry standards without adequately including the voices of producers and producing countries.Isabela also argues that “specialty coffee” is not simply a product category, it's a cultural and political concept, and that unless the industry becomes more inclusive, more self-aware, and more willing to redistribute power, it risks losing credibility altogether.This is one of the most direct, provocative, and important conversations we've had on the podcast in a long time.Connect with Isabela Raposeiras and Coffee Lab here:https://www.instagram.com/coffeelab_br/https://www.instagram.com/isabela.raposeiras/If you found this episode valuable, make sure you're subscribed to the podcast and follow along for the rest of this 5-part series.

A maioria dos programas de AppSec está afogada em findings, dashboards, scanners, CVEs, SLAs e relatórios que ninguém aguenta mais ler. O problema não é falta de ferramenta. O problema é falta de contexto, correlação e inteligência para entender o que realmente importa. Neste episódio, eu apresento o M.A.R.I.A., o Management Application Risk Integrated Analysis, uma plataforma criada para atuar como uma camada de inteligência de risco em Segurança de Aplicações. O M.A.R.I.A. não nasceu para ser mais um scanner. Ele nasceu para responder perguntas que ferramentas tradicionais normalmente ignoram: qual aplicação está realmente em risco? Qual vulnerabilidade merece atenção agora? Qual time precisa de ajuda? Qual mudança aumentou o risco do ambiente? A proposta é simples e ambiciosa: conectar dados de SAST, DAST, SCA, IaC, Secret Scan, pipelines, repositórios, contexto de negócio e exposição real para transformar ruído em decisão. Porque no fim do dia, AppSec não deveria ser uma fábrica de tickets. Deveria ser um sistema de priorização inteligente para proteger o que importa. Neste episódio, falo sobre:Por que scanners sozinhos não resolvem AppSecO problema real por trás do excesso de vulnerabilidadesA diferença entre dashboard, ASPM e inteligência de riscoComo o M.A.R.I.A. pretende correlacionar contexto técnico e contexto de negócioOnde entram risco, exposição, criticidade, SLA, dívida de segurança e Security ChampionsPor que AppSec precisa sair do modo “lista de problemas” e entrar no modo “tomada de decisão”Um episódio para quem está cansado de medir segurança por quantidade de findings e quer começar a discutir risco de verdade.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/devsecops-podcast--4179006/support.Apoio: Nova8, Snyk, Conviso, Gold Security, Digitalwolk e PurpleBird Security.

Todo mundo fala de DevSecOps. Todo mundo fala de IA. Mas quase ninguém conectou os pontos do jeito certo ainda. Neste episódio, a gente entra em um território que está começando a separar quem só usa ferramenta de quem realmente entende o jogo: SpecOps com IA. E não, isso não é sobre mais um YAML bonito ou documentação que ninguém lê. É sobre transformar especificações em algo vivo. Algo que define o sistema antes do código existir… e impede que ele saia da linha depois. A conversa passa por:por que “finding-based security” já não escala maiscomo a IA pode validar intenção, não só códigoo conflito direto entre vibe coding e governança realcomo specs podem virar enforcement automático no pipelinee o que muda quando segurança deixa de ser checklist e vira contratoA gente também traz isso para o mundo real:como integrar isso com pipelines atuaisonde ferramentas como SAST e SCA entram (e onde deixam de ser suficientes)e como esse modelo pode evoluir para algo muito mais próximo de risk-driven securitySe você ainda está medindo segurança só por quantidade de vulnerabilidades, esse episódio vai te incomodar.

Q1 rapporterna börjar komma in och det ser tungt ut för skogsbolagen men röda siffror i princip i alla segment. Vi pratar främst SCA och Södra idag. Vi har också varit på byggmässa och delger våra skogliga reflektioner därifrån. För den hugade fås också en genomgång av status i vårt lövskogsprojekt

Sveriges Radios granskning avslöjar att nyckelbiotoper som totalt motsvarar åtta Gamla stan huggs ner årligen ofta på bekostnad av fridlysta arter. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Nyckelbiotoper har pekats ut för sina höga naturvärden, som gamla träd, död ved och för att de aldrig kalhuggits. Vetenskapsradions och Ekots granskning, där vi jämfört Skogsstyrelsens satellitbilder med kartor, visar att nära 300 hektar registrerade nyckelbiotoper avverkas varje år. Det motsvarar åtta Gamla stan. Samtidigt är mer än 1300 hektar nyckelbiotoper avverkningsanmälda.I en barrnaturskog utanför Uppsala syns vad som står på spel, med fridlysta och rödlista arter som knärot och kortskaftad ärgspik. SLU Artdatabanken bedömer att skogsbruket har stor negativ effekt på 1744 rödlistade arter och anser att det är av högsta prioritet att skydda de kvarvarande gammelskogarna för den biologiska mångfalden.Politiska beslut har också förändrat spelplanen. Skogsstyrelsen har slutat registrera nya nyckelbiotoper och avregistreringar gör att information om nyckelbiotoper försvunnit ur deras karttjänst. Då kan avverkningsanmälningar lättare passera myndighetens automatiska granskning och leda till så kallade nollbeslut, som i flera fall prövats i Mark- och miljödomstolen. Skogsbolag som Holmen, SCA och Sveaskog pekar på felaktiga gränser i äldre underlag. Samtidigt vill regeringen förändra artskyddet så att skogsbruket ska få undantag för arter som knärot och att Skogsstyrelsen får kortare granskningstid innan en avverkning får börja.Reporter: Daniel Värjödaniel.varjo@sr.seResearch: Clara Guiborgclara.guiborg@sr.seProducent: Gunilla Kyhléngunilla.kyhlen@sr.se

Remember the Black Knight from the movie Eternals (2021)? The Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends episode "Knights and Demons" actually does a better job introducing this character. Prior to the events of this episode, the Black Knight banished Modred (not to be confused with Mordred) to the Land of Shades, so Modred sends an enchanted gargoyle statue to Earth to steal the Black Knight's magic sword from a museum at the Spider-Friends' college. The gargoyle and the Black Knight both show up to fight over the sword in the NYC streets (and skies), so the Spider-Friends get involved, but they sure aren't helpful. The entire rest of the episode plays out like a Dungeons & Dragons game in which the Black Knight has surprisingly few points allocated to dexterity. Although, actually, it's not a Dungeons & Dragons game, because in this show, that game is called Sorcery & Serpents. Also, Peter and Bobby and Angelica are all members of the SCA, and we aren't even kidding about that bit.

Daniel Bardenstein, CEO and co-founder of Manifest Cyber, opens with a candid assessment: the fundamental problem hasn't changed since Log4Shell. Organizations still don't understand what's inside the software and AI they build and buy. A recent Manifest Cyber study found a 40-50% gap between how well CISOs believed their security posture was managed and how their own AppSec teams rated the reality. Traditional SCA tools bury analysts in alerts without enabling response. Third-party tools hand out letter grades without reflecting actual empirical risk. The result is what Bardenstein calls the illusion of transparency -- confidence in visibility that doesn't actually exist. The hidden sources of risk go deeper than most teams realize. C/C++ code underpins critical infrastructure across medical devices, automotive, defense, and financial services -- yet most scanning tools can't effectively analyze it. Third-party binaries carry serious risk that vendors rarely disclose. Open source libraries that haven't been updated in years represent quiet exposure. And AI adoption is adding a new layer of opacity: datasets of unknown provenance, open-weight models with untested risk profiles, and AI-embedded applications where organizations have no visibility into what models or agents are operating underneath. Bardenstein frames the path forward in three dimensions: rapid response when a new issue emerges, proactive inventory and monitoring of critical dependencies, and supply chain risk stopped at the procurement gate before it enters the enterprise. When customers demand SBOMs as a condition of doing business, vendors improve -- and those improvements flow to all their other customers as well. Manifest Cyber sees this market dynamic as one of the most powerful forces for making the software ecosystem more secure. The conversation also takes on accountability. Drawing on his time leading technology strategy at CISA, Bardenstein argues that the burden of transparency must fall on the people who write software, not those who buy and use it. The "transparency tax" -- the hidden cost of cheap or opaque technology -- only surfaces after something goes wrong, in the form of incident response, people-hours, and exposure. Compliance drivers like the EU Cyber Resilience Act are reinforcing this shift, but market pressure from major banks, pharmaceutical companies, and government is already moving faster than regulation. Manifest Cyber automates the hard work: generating SBOMs, analyzing binaries, surfacing risk in C/C++ and third-party dependencies, and enabling fast, owner-assigned remediation. One customer went from zero to generating SBOMs across their entire fleet in 90 seconds -- without touching a command line. The platform is built to keep engineer velocity high, surface risk in plain language for procurement and risk teams, and make supply chain security accessible to the entire organization, not just the AppSec team.

If you want to know how to understand Service Contract Act (SCA) wage determinations and apply them correctly in federal contracts, this episode breaks it down in a practical, easy-to-follow way. Navigating the SCA can be confusing—especially when solicitations don't clearly state whether it applies or how to interpret wage determinations. In this conversation, we unpack how to identify whether a contract falls under SCA, where to find the right wage determinations, and what to do when information seems unclear or missing. We also touch on the differences between SCA and Davis-Bacon wages, and how these impact your pricing, compliance, and overall bid strategy. Key takeaways include: How to determine if a contract is SCA-covered Where to find and verify wage determinations When and why to submit an RFI for clarification Whether you're new to federal contracting or looking to avoid costly compliance mistakes, this episode will help you bid smarter and more confidently.

We're Big John's BBQ out of Las Vegas. I am the head pit master - Big John Bowman. My BBQ journey started in Kansas City in 2009 when my wife Kim worked with the marketing agency for the American Royal BBQ—so I got to meet and taste BBQ from top competitors, and I was instantly hooked. I bought a cheap offset smoker, started learning everything I could, and when we moved back home to Vegas, it grew from cooking for friends and church gatherings into catering events and weddings.     In 2015, I launched Big John's competition bbq team and started competing. Since then we've done numerous Nevada BBQ Association events, 16 KCBS contests, and a few SCA events, with highlights like 1st place brisket at the 2024 Golden State Battle in Hollister, CA, and Grand Champion at the 2025 KCBS BBQ Jackpot in Las Vegas. We're currently ranked 4th in the KCBS Master Series—and we're a family team: my wife Kim, my parents Rocky and Sandy, and my Brother Doug.

In this episode of The Other Side of Campus, hosts Jen Moon and Katie Dawson speak with Charles Di Piazza from the UT School of Architecture about his Rural Architecture Studio course. Charles takes students to Terlingua, near Big Bend National Park, where they work alongside local partners to explore sustainable design rooted in place.From earthen construction and compressed earth blocks to the design of potential teacher housing for the local school district, the studio invites students to connect ideas with material practice. Along the way, they learn how environmental constraints, traditional building knowledge, and community collaboration can shape better architecture.Professor Di Piazza describes the project as an “experiment in reciprocity,” where knowledge flows in both directions between the university and rural Texas communities. The result is a powerful model for experiential learning, sustainable design, and meaningful engagement beyond campus.The Fall 2025 class description...Earthen Grounds: Graduate Studio in West TexasIn partnership with Bob Estrin, Director of the School of Constructive Arts (SCA) in Alpine, Charles Di Piazza leads this new graduate design studio, building on the work in Marathon, Texas. Earthen Grounds brings Di Piazza's interest in vernacular architecture, massive construction, and courtyard housing and combines it with Estrin's focus on regenerative design and hands-on building practices.The studio asks students to envision new models of sustainable housing and walkable communities for dryland environments. Beginning with the study of precedents spanning nearly 9,000 years, students will explore the fundamental relationships between people, climate, space, and place before applying their research to a site in the Chihuahuan Desert near SCA. The class includes a trip to Big Bend to participate in an earthen construction workshop on the SCA campus.The studio's research and proposals aim to generate ideas for affordable housing in the Big Bend region and beyond. This work is supported by a grant from the Still Water Foundation, whose generosity makes this collaboration possible.CreditsHosts: Jen Moon & Katie DawsonMusic by various artists: "Arizona Moon" by Blue Dot Sessions, "Lyanetha" by John Bartmann, "Help Me" by Eme HacheTheme track: "Soul Sync" by KetsaExecutive Producer: Michelle Daniel

There is a question that sounds almost embarrassingly simple. After a vulnerability is discovered in a piece of widely used software — something like Log4Shell, which shook the security world and left hundreds of thousands of organizations exposed overnight — the question organizations scrambled to answer was this: where is this code, and what does it touch? Most couldn't answer it. Not the Fortune 500 companies. Not the government agencies. Not the critical infrastructure operators. Not the hospitals or the banks or the utilities. They had built and bought mountains of software over years and decades, and when the moment came to understand what was actually inside it, they were effectively blind. That gap is exactly what Daniel Bardenstein set out to close when he co-founded Manifest Cyber in 2023. And in a conversation on ITSPmagazine's Brand Highlight series, he made a case for technology transparency that is hard to argue with — not because it's technically complex, but because the analogy he draws is so strikingly obvious once you hear it. "If you want to buy a house, you get to go inside the house, do the home inspection," he said. "You want to buy food from the grocery store — you can look at the ingredients. Even our clothes tell you what they're made of, how to care for them, and where they're from." But software? The technology running hospital MRI machines, weapon systems, financial infrastructure, water delivery? No transparency required. No ingredient label. No inspection rights. Just trust. That trust, as Log4Shell demonstrated, is a vulnerability in itself. Bardenstein came to this problem with credentials that few founders in the space can claim. Before starting Manifest, he spent four and a half years in the US government leading large-scale cyber programs and serving as technology strategy lead at CISA — the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. He saw firsthand how defenders are perpetually at a disadvantage, operating without the basic visibility they need to do their jobs. His mission became building the tools to change that. The problem, he's quick to point out, has not improved in the years since Log4Shell. Software supply chain attacks have multiplied — XZ Utils, NPM Polyfill, and others following the same pattern: trusted software becomes the attack vector, and it spreads fast. Meanwhile, most security teams are still operating with SCA tools that generate noisy, overwhelming alerts and vendor risk programs built on Excel spreadsheets and questionnaires rather than actual empirical data about the security of what they're buying. "Security teams have a false sense of security," Bardenstein said. The gap between what organizations think they know and what they actually know about their software supply chains remains dangerously wide. Manifest Cyber addresses this across the full lifecycle. For organizations that build software, the platform maps every open source dependency, assesses it for risk, and ensures developers can write more secure code without losing velocity. For organizations that buy software — which is everyone — it finds risks before procurement, then continuously monitors every third party component so that when something breaks, they know the blast radius in seconds, not weeks. The timing matters. Regulation is catching up to the problem. The EU AI Act, the Cyber Resilience Act, and a growing body of global policy are beginning to demand exactly the kind of software supply chain transparency that Manifest is built to provide. Organizations that wait to build this capability will find themselves scrambling to comply — those that build it in now will have it as a competitive advantage. The ingredient label for software has always been missing. Manifest Cyber is writing it. ________________________________________________________________ Marco Ciappelli interviews Daniel Bardenstein, CEO & Co-Founder of Manifest Cyber, for ITSPmagazine's Brand Highlight series.

Del humo del incienso en Etiopía al café que apuramos antes de entrar a trabajar. El programa recorre hoy la historia, la técnica y el ritual que hay detrás de cada taza.Partimos de la ceremonia etíope del bunna —que rescata la periodista Eira Scheper en su libro— y aterrizamos en el auge del café de especialidad, el que debe superar los 80 puntos en la escala de la Specialty Coffee Association.Para entender qué hay detrás del grano y del tueste, hablamos con Aurelio Salinero, maestro tostador de Cafés Puerto Rico, y con José María Pellejero, barista formador de la SCA y fundador de Cafés Santo Amaro. Con ellos analizamos las diferencias entre arábica y robusta, el debate sobre el torrefacto, los parámetros técnicos del espresso perfecto y qué hay de cierto en los beneficios del café para la salud.

In this episode, the hosts discuss the seismic shift in the application security landscape triggered by the rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Anthropic's "Claude Code". They highlight the massive economic repercussions of these AI advancements, noting that billions in market value were wiped from traditional cybersecurity stocks as investors begin to believe frontier models might eventually write perfectly secure code. The hosts critique the industry's historical reliance on "checkbox" compliance tools like SAST, DAST, and SCA, arguing that these "archaic" methods are being replaced by AI-native strategies capable of reasoning through complex logic flaws. While they acknowledge that AI can suffer from "reasoning drift" and still requires deterministic validation to avoid false positives, they emphasize that security professionals must adapt by building custom "skills" and focusing on governance and observability. The discussion concludes that as developers move to "AI speed," the traditional role of the AppSec professional is evolving into a "Jarvis-like" orchestrator who manages automated workflows and infuses institutional knowledge into AI agents to maintain oversight without slowing down production.

Description:  Bill & Michael Wurth (Succession Capital's Regional Vice President) discuss "Carrier Endorsed" Premium Finance opportunities in today's evolving landscape. Whether it's marketing to business owners, high net worth individuals, charitable solutions, policy reviews, creative estate planning or tax savings strategies, many opportunities may exist. Modern premium financing for life insurance began in 1996 when CEO Julian Movsesian was challenged by a High-Net-Worth Client to come up with a method for using leverage to enhance the purchase of life insurance. This challenge led to the creation of the "Capital Maximization Strategy℠ (CMS), which provided Clients with a better way to buy life insurance. Each client requires a unique plan reflecting their capital, income, business, tax, estate, and charitable objectives. In collaboration with Advisory Teams, SCA tailors custom plans to achieve each client's goals. Levinson & Associates has teamed up with SCA to help our agents help their clientele with these creative financial solutions, as discussed in episode 65. Michael's Bio: Michael Wurth joined Succession Capital in January 2021. Hired before the official Vice President program was put in place, Michael spent his first 2 years at SCA supporting Michael Rothman and managing all cases in underwriting. His territory includes San Diego, Inland Empire, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Florida, Alaska, and Hawaii. Prior to joining SCA, Michael worked for Apple in their Beijing office, where he was the only non-native Chinese speaker on Apple's team of 250 employees. He was specifically responsible for analyzing the financials and setting targets for iPhone sales in the Greater China region, a $50 Billion dollar revenue generating group. After his time in China, he completed his MBA in Barcelona, Spain in 2019 before launching his own Search Fund after graduation. Aside from work, Michael is passionate about education and his faith. He and his wife started a Catholic Classical Education school in Southern California called The Camino School. Michael received his undergraduate degrees in International Business and Chinese Language and Culture from the University of Southern California and his MBA and Spanish degree from IESE in Barcelona. Michael and his wife met in Rome and have been married since 2019. They live in Aliso Viejo, CA with their three sons (Michael, Lucas, & George), their daughter (Lola), and Chocolate Lab, Kona.

At Fat Plate BBQ, everything began with a passion for outdoor cooking. What began as a weekend hobby in our own backyard quickly turned into a passion for creating bold and creative flavors that help make your next cook your best cook. I first caught the BBQ bug over a decade and a half ago, after buying a used Primo Oval XL from Craigslist. Probably 35 different cookers later, Fat Plate BBQ was born. Somewhere in the middle of that timeline, I started competing in as many sanctioned and unsanctioned BBQ contests as I could find. Just as my competition journey was picking up, COVID hit and shut down most comps anywhere near me. My desire to continue scratching that BBQ itch manifested itself in a slightly different way. With a background in tech, I decided to use the pandemic caused downtime to start an online BBQ supply store: boostyourbbq.com. Boost Your BBQ put me in a unique position to work with highly successful teams and contacts from all across the country. I was able to use my knowledge of competition BBQ to source products, help others on their BBQ journey, and just straight up learn everything I could. At this time, the SCA had a heavy presence on the East Coast, and I started competing regularly there. Personal commitments started demanding more of my time. I was lucky enough to become a father of two kids that I wanted to spend more time with, but also my parents' health began to rapidly decline, so I sold Boost Your BBQ and took a step back from competing. My wife and I cater upon request using our line of seasonings we've spent years perfecting, and I never wanted anyone to run out of food or feel like the BBQ wasn't a good value, so we have become known for our large portion sizes (a big old fat plate of BBQ), so Fat Plate BBQ it was. Our line of seasonings have been developed from our competition recipes and feedback from highly successful KCBS teams. Fat Plate BBQ rubs have helped many teams win MULTIPLE GC's, RGC's, 180's and Golden Tickets. Our Beef Blanket rub was part of the recipe for the FIRST EVER DOUBLE PERFECT SCA scores (West Newton, PA). Our sponsored teams have placed highly at hundreds of KCBS competitions and the Jack. Fat Plate BBQ's main goal is to create killer flavor profiles that don't taste like everything else on the market. We go for creative and unique, but still "covering the bases" to achieve traditional flavor profiles. Our rubs compliment each other, and lend themselves well to layering flavors. Our soon to be released products, really raise the bar and fill the gaps in the rub and sauce categories and add to our unique offerings.

In January 2026, the ACOG released its Practice Advisory on Screening for fetal Chromosomal Abnormalities. This comes after its Nov 2025 endorsement of the SMFM's Consult Series #74, “Cell-free DNA screening for aneuploidies: Updated guidance”. In this episode we will review the key parts of this PA. Is screening for microdeletions recommended? PLUS, we will focus on cfDNA for sex chromosomal abnormalities. Should screening for sex chromosomal abnormalities (SCAs) be an “opt in” or “opt out” process for patients? What are nest steps after an abnormal SCA screening result? Are commercial tests available for fetal gender recommended? Listen in for details. 1.

Matilda Rooney, a woman in her seventies from Illinois, died during the night of Christmas Eve in 1885. Her remains were almost completely burned, weighing just 12 pounds. Matilda appeared to have burned to death in the kitchen, with no clear explanation as to how the fire started. Her husband, Patrick Rooney, who had been sleeping in the couple's bedroom near the kitchen, also died that night due to smoke and fumes from the fire.Contact us at: weeknightmysteries@gmail.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/weeknightmysteriesTikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@weeknightmysteries

We started our journey in 2018 with our first competition at Tomato Days, where we earned a reserve grand champion title. From that moment on, we were hooked. Initially, there were four of us on the team, but as life got in the way, two members dropped out. However, Mitch and I continued to pursue our passion. Our first KCBS competition took place in Bullhead City, where we met Anthony. It was there that we realized just how much we still had to learn. While focusing on mastering the four meats, we also got involved with the SCA, where we found success. We received invitations to the world championships four times in a row, and Mitch performed well enough to advance to the next round. In 2024, we decided we were ready to fully commit to KCBS and set ambitious goals, including a desire to compete at The Jack. Despite facing setbacks, we persevered. Although we didn't receive an invitation last year, we continued to push ourselves harder. I told Mitch that all I wanted for our anniversary was to attend The Jack, and we achieved that dream. We had an amazing time, and this experience has only fueled our determination to return.
