In this episode of the HVAC Know It All Podcast, host Gary McCreadie talks with David Rames, Senior Product Manager at Midea America, about how Multi-zone Ductless systems work and where they fit best. David explains why they're great for homes without ductwork and how each room can have its own comfort setting. They break down how the system runs, including how it uses one outdoor unit for many indoor units. Gary and David also cover installation tips, design tricks, and how to avoid wiring mistakes. Plus, they share real-world advice on mounting units to reduce noise and making sure systems run smoothly and last longer. David Rames explains why Multi-zone Ductless systems are a smart choice for homes without ductwork. He shares how one outdoor unit can run many indoor heads, giving each room its own comfort level. David also talks about how the system adjusts refrigerant flow to match the needs of each zone. He explains why line sets and wiring must be carefully planned and how a special feature can fix mistakes if zones are mixed up. David gives tips on placing the outdoor unit to avoid noise, and how knowing these small things helps the system work better and keeps customers happy. Here, David explains how Multi-zone Ductless systems give better comfort by letting each room set its own temperature. Like having light dimmers, people can control heat or cool just where they need it. He talks about how one unit sends refrigerant to all zones and why installers must size and wire things right. David also shares how a smart feature can fix wiring mistakes fast, but it's still best to fix it right later. He reminds techs that placing the outdoor unit in the right spot helps avoid noise and keeps the home peaceful. Expect to Learn: Why Multi-zone Ductless is great for homes without ductwork.

В этом выпуске у меня в гостях Максим Цыганков — фаундер EasyVision и бывший senior product manager в VisionLabs и Яндекс Cloud. Переехав в США по туристической визе, Максим запустил стартап в области компьютерного зрения для ресторанов, привлек клиентов и инвестиции, оформил визу O-1 и начал масштабировать бизнес с нуля — без нетворка и без плана переезда заранее.Мы обсудили, как строится продукт и трекшн в B2B-стартапе с минимальными ресурсами, что сработало и не сработало в холодных рассылках и партнёрках, почему рестораны не спешат подключать камеры даже после согласия, и какова реальная стоимость и отдача от пилотных проектов. Разобрали путь привлечения первых $50 000 инвестиций и 3-х клиентов, особенности сбора кейса на визу O-1 от своего стартапа, роль адвайзеров, влияние паспорта и туристического статуса на шансы фаундера в США, а также обсудили разницу между ростом продукта и ростом продаж.Максим Цыганков (Max Tsygankov) - Founder at EasyVision (ex Senior Product Manager at Vision Labs & Yandex Cloud)LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tsygankovmaksim/Эпизоды по теме релокации для предпринимателей:Как бизнесмену и стартаперу переехать в США по визе таланта O1, EB1 - как открыть компанию и подать на себя петици.

Building your business on social media is like renting a house—you've decorated it beautifully, but the landlord can change the rules anytime. Your email list, however, is property you own outright. This distinction can make or break a small business when platforms change algorithms or face potential bans.In this episode, Dave Charest speaks with Constant Contact product leaders Jesus Flores, Product Manager focused on audience growth; Ryan Burke, Director of Product specializing in small business growth; and Mike Crawford, Senior Product Manager responsible for the contacts experience. They discuss the risks of relying solely on social media for marketing and why building a contact list you actually own is the foundation of sustainable marketing."Owning your audience means having a direct line of communication with people who have explicitly shown interest in your brand, typically through an email list without a dependency on a governing social platform," explains Jesus. "It's your list, you own it. You can carry it from platform to platform."The team discusses how businesses can convert social followers into email subscribers, introduces Constant Contact's new Lead Magnet tool, and explains how contact data helps create more effective marketing campaigns.Whether you're just starting to build your contact list or looking to better leverage your existing contacts, this episode offers actionable strategies to help turn audience growth into business growth.Additional Resources:Create a Facebook and Instagram AdCreate a Pop-Up Contact Sign-Up Form for Your WebsiteCreate a QR code from a URLCreate a Google Ad with KlikenUsing Contact Lists, Tags, and Segments Based on Your List SizeOverview: Email ReportingInstall a Contact Sign-Up Form on a WebsiteCreate a Sign-up Landing Page to Collect New Email and SMS Contacts OnlineCreate a Lead Magnet and Capture LeadsCreate and Manage Custom Contact FieldsLatest Small Business Now ReportMeet Today's Guests: Jesus Flores, Ryan Burke, and Mike Crawford of Constant Contact Jesus Flores

In this episode of "Talking Shop with Shop Owner," Kyle Price, Senior Product Manager at Monroe Shocks, explains about the transition from winter to spring and the importance of suspension maintenance.Price highlights the impact of winter conditions on vehicles, emphasizing the need for drivers to care for their suspension systems. "With rising prices, vehicle owners are holding onto their cars longer, making suspension maintenance crucial. They want to make sure that their suspensions – shocks, struts, coil springs – are working the way that they should after enduring lifetime of cold and salt during winters.""We're trying to publish a lot of training and education. The Restore line is designed for the general population; the everyday driver who is looking for performance and a product that's going to keep their vehicle running, at a level that they can afford."According to Price, there are several key symptoms that bring customers into shops, including noise and ride quality. "Shop owners need to consider vehicle mileage, and have dialogue with customers about their driving habits to recommend suitable options.The suspension system is critical to the safety and the comfort of your customers' rides, and safety is always top of mind," he says. This dialogue presents an opportunity for shop owners to have a conversation with their customers to open their eyes to options that are right for their needs. Monroe's new product line, Monroe Restore, was developed to meet the needs of everyday drivers seeking performance at an affordable price.Price says different options may, in fact, be right for different drivers' needs and encourages shop owners and technicians to explore the Monroe website (www.monroe.com) for training and conversation points to guide customers. He also recommends visting the Garage Gurus (GarageGurus.tech) for expert training that can be tailored to individual shop needs.

The internet is evolving, but so are the threats that come with it. The latest Bad Bot Report from Imperva, a Thales company, reveals a staggering statistic: nearly 50% of internet traffic now comes from non-human sources, with bad bots making up almost one-third of all online activity. These bots are no longer just simple scripts running in the background; they have become more advanced, leveraging AI to mimic human behavior and evade traditional detection methods. The consequences? A surge in transaction fraud, web scraping, data harvesting, and account takeovers, affecting industries across the board. In this episode, I'm joined by Lynn Marks, Senior Product Manager at Imperva, who returns to the podcast to break down the key findings of the 2024 Bad Bot Report. We explore how bot activity is evolving, why businesses need to rethink their approach to security, and what proactive steps can be taken to mitigate these threats. Lynn explains how attackers are shifting their focus from technical vulnerabilities to exploiting business logic, making it increasingly difficult for companies to detect and prevent malicious activity. We also discuss the growing security challenges surrounding APIs, which have become prime targets for cybercriminals. With half of all account takeover attacks now targeting APIs directly, organizations need better visibility and stronger protections in place to defend against automated threats. Lynn shares insights on why industries like gaming and travel are seeing disproportionate bot activity and how businesses can better secure their platforms. As AI legislation gains momentum worldwide, the conversation around bot management is becoming increasingly complex. How can companies stay ahead of evolving threats while ensuring compliance with emerging regulations? What lessons can be learned from past security failures? And more importantly, how can organizations take a proactive stance in the fight against automated cyber threats? Tune in for an eye-opening conversation that sheds light on the hidden dangers lurking beneath internet traffic and learn how to better protect your business from the growing wave of automated attacks.
