When the River Moves On You | Chris Seidman by The Hills Church

The fastest way to lose money in pool service is not a bad test kit or a missed brush. It is a pricing system that looks “simple” on paper but collapses the moment chemical costs jump or one pool starts chewing through tablets. We walk through the big decision every pool service pro faces: do you bundle everything into one white-glove monthly service fee, or do you charge separately for the work and materials that actually move your costs? We break down how all-inclusive pricing makes billing effortless, especially on a big pool route with employees, and why it can still be a disadvantage when you are bidding against companies that itemize filter cleaning, salt cell cleaning, and trichlor tablets. We also get honest about the downside: when chlorine, acid, or tablet prices spike, your profit margin takes the hit, and “chemicals included” can quietly encourage overuse. Then we dig into itemized billing and why it can increase profitability, using a contractor-style way of thinking that accounts for price fluctuations. We talk real-world filter cleaning pricing, how often filters truly need attention, and why charging per cleaning can be both a revenue lever and a motivation tool for techs. Finally, we lay out a hybrid model designed for predictable invoices: a stable base rate that includes a maintenance dose of liquid chlorine and muriatic acid, with separate charges for tablet buckets, filter cleanings, salt cell cleanings, and specialty chemicals or seasonal add-ons. If you want cleaner invoicing, fewer billing surprises, and a pool service pricing strategy that scales, listen through to the end.

In this bonus episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter Donia and Jodie Brown come back to finish what they started. Gray transformations were promised in the trending service niches series and then completely forgotten, so consider this the part three that the Modern Stylist Movement group asked for.Gray transformation is one of the most in demand niches in the industry right now, and it is also the only one on the list that is deliberately designed to make your clients visit you less often. Hunter and Jodie break down what that actually means for your business, and how to build around it instead of getting blindsided by it.Key Takeaways:

The Church Of The Souls Evolution with The Reverend Blake Rubie (Ordained Minister) Time Travel, Soul Evolution, and the Prayer That Can Change the World Reverend Blake Rubie reflects on singing, service, extraterrestrials, time travel, afterlife judgment, world conflict, prayer, and the soul's journey, urging listeners to love one another, respect the human family, and help guide Earth toward peace. Everyday Life, Date Night, and Toastmasters In this episode of The Church of the Soul's Evolution, Reverend Blake Rubie opens with a personal update from San Antonio, mentioning the weather, a movie date night with his wife, and their new Friday-night routine of going out together. He also discusses attending a Toastmasters meeting that morning, where he gave a short speech he later expands on during the broadcast. The corrected transcript notes that Blake's spiritual, metaphysical, political, and personal reflections are preserved as his statements, while claims about extraterrestrials, time travel, hell, world politics, and religious belief are not independently verified. Singing, Military Cadence, and Service to Wounded Warriors Blake spends a major portion of the early episode reflecting on his lifelong connection to singing. He traces that gift back to his Army service beginning in 1982, when he sang cadence during infantry training and later carried that love of music into karaoke, church choir, and personal practice. He describes singing for wounded warriors at the Warrior and Family Support Center on Fort Sam Houston as one of the best things he has done, recalling how he brought equipment, performed during lunch gatherings, and used music as a quiet form of service, encouragement, and praise. The Sun, Spirit, Hell, and the Recorded Life The episode then moves into Blake's metaphysical view of the sun, spirit, death, and afterlife judgment. He describes human beings as spirits in material bodies, says every second of life is recorded, and presents dreams as times when the spirit leaves the body and travels into “dream land.” Blake also gives an intense description of hell or purgatory as a temporary place of painful rehabilitation for deeply harmful people, while emphasizing that the Creator is ultimately merciful and that souls continue their journey after correction. Creation, Extraterrestrials, and the Universe of Many Beings Blake expands his reflections into a cosmology that includes the Big Bang, a male-and-female Creator, four forces of the universe, and thousands of extraterrestrial civilizations. He describes many types of beings — humanoids, greys, beings of light, hermaphroditic beings, and advanced races from other planets and galaxies — and frames Earth as a young species being helped by older souls and more advanced civilizations. He also suggests that some billionaires and powerful people may be younger souls who make life difficult for others on this planet. Time Travel, Living Spacecraft, and Parallel Reality The central teaching comes from Blake's Toastmasters speech on time travel. He describes extraterrestrial spacecraft as living entities, possibly made from plant matter, crystalline structure, and other materials, piloted through consciousness and advanced mind-machine interaction. Blake says some beings can accelerate close to the speed of light, harness universal energy, and transition into a parallel or spiritual universe where time can be traveled as a location or trail. In his explanation, travelers re-enter the physical universe at a chosen point in history, then return by riding the parallel-universe path forward while avoiding the danger of returning to the same place and time as their earlier selves. Thiaoouba, Guardianship, Nuclear Danger, and Free Will Blake also discusses extraterrestrials from Thiaoouba, describing them as nine-foot-tall hermaphroditic guardians who have interacted with Earth for thousands of years and are represented, in his view, by the statues on Easter Island. He presents advanced civilizations as responsible for helping lower civilizations, but says they cannot override human free will except in rare moments of crisis or divine intervention. This leads into his warning about nuclear weapons, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and the possibility that civilizations must suffer consequences if they choose self-destruction rather than peaceful cooperation. Prayer, Peace, Palestine, Iran, and the Human Family The final section turns toward peace, prayer, and human dignity. Blake argues that Earth is a difficult school for the soul, but that people can still make the world better by loving one another, respecting human life, and praying for others. He speaks emotionally about Palestine, Israel, October 7th, Iran, war, innocent civilians, Trump, political division, and the inability of nations to talk through conflict. He closes by calling on “prayer warriors” to pray for the world, asking the Creator to help humanity survive, continue its soul evolution, and learn to love each other more fully.

Terms of Service with Future Caucus Two Minnesota lawmakers, one Democrat and one Republican, on what public service costs and what it took to keep going after tragedy. Terms of Service is a new limited series from Future Caucus and TP&R, hosted by Future Caucus CEO Layla Zaidane. People run for state legislature to serve their communities, then find the fine print. Recorded at Future Summit, this first conversation brings together two young Minnesota representatives, Andy Smith (D) and Isaac Schultz (R), on political violence, pay, staffing, and what it takes not just to serve but to stay. This series is a partnership between Scan Media and Future Caucus. Executive Producers: Future Caucus and Layla Zaidane.

An evenly divided chamber meant building trust across the aisle before any bill had a chance. Relationships came first, legislation second. Coming together after political violence. The assassination of Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, and the wounding of a colleague, changed how these two think about safety and each other. Shared grief pulled them closer across party lines. The fine print of serving. Pay that runs about $10,000 below the average worker, little to no staff, and months living out of a hotel away from family. Both still call it worth doing. About Our Guests Rep. Andy Smith (D) represents Rochester, Minnesota, is in his second term, and runs a used bookstore with his wife. Rep. Isaac Schultz (R) represents a rural district, is in his second term, and works as an auctioneer and small business owner. Host Layla Zaidane is president and CEO of Future Caucus.

Let us know what you think of the show and what we can do better! A single leadership decision can change the course of a career and sometimes a life. Chad Bruckner joins me to talk about what he's learned across infantry combat missions in Iraq and 15 years in law enforcement, and why the “price of service” is often paid quietly after the call ends. We get honest about moral injury, shame, and the painful gap between how we train warriors and officers to perform under stress and how little we prepare them to come back, reconnect, and stay healthy.We dig into toxic leadership, the trust gap inside agencies, and why officer wellness can't be solved with a seminar, an app, or an annual training requirement. Chad breaks down what actually works: accountability at every level, leaders who model the standard, and a culture where hard conversations happen early. We also talk about fear-driven decision-making, endless meetings that replace real communication, and how “looking the part” can become a substitute for doing the work.Then we move toward practical hope: building a tight circle of trusted people, using community and shared challenges as a healthier alternative to numbing, and returning to the basics of community policing where presence, respect, and relationships reduce crime and rebuild legitimacy. If you care about police leadership, law enforcement culture, first responder mental health, and what it takes to help people serve effectively and return home whole, this one is for you.

In part one of this Portals Current Openings event, Threefold Leadership in this Epochal Moment, Aviv Shahar and David Price Francis explored the call for each of us to become self-authoring and self-determining. In these tumultuous times of challenge and change, the truest solidity we can rely on is the one we build from within. In part two, Aviv and David turn to the awareness that our energetic hygiene — the inner ecology of our being — plays a vital role in sustaining balance and agility in any situation, while supporting our greater intentions. The understanding that each of us is an ecology opens an important inquiry: are we conscious of what we allow to live and thrive within our inner environment? Violent video games, horror movies, and harsh music, even if we enjoy them, can seed and sustain dissonant energies within us. If we dwell on painful memories or replay interactions that made us angry, we muddy our inner waters. It's like a dark cloud crossing a clear sky; we feel the shift immediately, and it can take hours or even days to clear the state we've created. The point is not to suppress or deny such influences, but to cultivate awareness and discernment — to set standards, to regulate and manage our exposure, and to create a safe and luminous inner environment that supports what we seek to accomplish. Energetic hygiene means developing personal tools and processes for realigning and rebalancing ourselves whenever something knocks us off course. Five key dimensions of energetic hygiene: Standards – what you do not go below Process – how you cleanse and renew Alignment – what you attune to and nurture Ecology – what resides within you Service – what finds life through you This conversation is part of the continuing Portals discovery into what is emerging on the frontiers of human experience in this time of profound change.

When you say, I'm going to take full responsibility for who I am, knowing that I don't know who I am. So, therefore, I'm taking responsibility to be the place, the ecology inside of which I am emerging anew. That's a very different kind of sense, and orientation, and inner cosmology than, oh, I can take responsibility because I know. It has a much more participative sense with the process of the emergence of life. I join the process of life.” (Aviv) “So what would be a level of energetic hygiene that's very practical? Trust the universe, but lock the door. How many of you have got locks on your doors? Probably all of you. Would you believe that's to do with energetic hygiene? Yes, it is because you want to monitor, not who is coming into your space, but what is coming into your space with the who that's carrying the what. So we don't think, who is that person, but what is that person processing? It's a different way of viewing.” (David)   RESOURCES MENTIONED   Portals of Perception Website Aviv's LinkedIn  Aviv's Twitter Aviv's Website Energetic Hygiene – The 5 Dimensions, Part 2

Rebuke The Reprobates | Titus 1:10-16 | 29 July 2026 - Wednesday Evening | Dr. Brad Weniger, Pastor

The Friction Tax: Are You Trapping Customers? Signing up takes less than a minute. Canceling takes 45. The cancellation button is buried. Customer support is difficult to reach. Returning a product requires multiple steps. A "retention specialist" keeps a customer on the phone until surrender feels easier than leaving. That is more than poor customer service. It is the customer friction tax: the extra time, effort, confusion, and frustration customers must absorb because a company benefits from making it difficult to cancel, return, receive help, or leave. In this episode of the Customer Service Revolution Podcast, Denise Thompson and John DiJulius examine when ordinary operational friction becomes deliberate customer exploitation—and what that friction reveals about an organization's priorities. When Customer Friction Becomes Part of the Business Model New York City recently adopted a click-to-cancel rule for automatically renewing and continuous-service subscriptions. Beginning October 1, 2026, covered businesses must clearly disclose subscription terms and provide consumers with a straightforward way to cancel. The fact that cancellation procedures need government regulation raises a larger customer experience question: Can an organization call itself customer-centric when it intentionally makes leaving difficult? John explains that ease of doing business should apply throughout the entire relationship—not just when the customer is ready to buy. That includes reaching support, resolving a problem, returning a purchase, changing an agreement, and canceling a service. Bad Profits Create Long-Term Damage Some companies generate revenue through what John calls "bad profits": hidden charges, excessive fees, restrictive policies, complicated contracts, or deliberately difficult cancellation processes. These practices may protect short-term revenue, but they can also: Destroy customer trust Generate complaints and negative word of mouth Increase service and staffing costs Create opportunities for competitors Force employees to defend policies they believe are unfair Increase frontline frustration and turnover Produce retention numbers that disguise customer dissatisfaction Blockbuster once generated approximately 16% of its revenue from late fees. That revenue made abandoning late fees appear financially dangerous—but it also prevented the company from adapting to a subscription model that customers increasingly preferred. Retention Is Not the Same as Loyalty A customer who remains because canceling is difficult has not been retained through loyalty. That customer has been trapped through friction. Healthy customer relationships produce repeat business, referrals, trust, and advocacy. Customer captivity may temporarily improve retention metrics, but it does not create customers who create more customers. Leaders must look beyond cancellation rates and ask why customers stay. Are they staying because they value the relationship—or because switching, canceling, or finding an alternative feels like too much work? Customer Friction Also Damages the Employee Experience Frontline employees frequently bear the consequences of unreasonable policies they did not create and cannot change. When employees repeatedly have to say, "I don't make the rules," it signals a larger system problem. Employees become the messengers for decisions designed to protect revenue, absorbing customers' anger while lacking the authority to make things right. Removing unnecessary customer friction is therefore both a customer experience and employee experience strategy. How Leaders Can Find Their Biggest Friction Points John recommends that leaders experience their organization as customers do. Purchase something. Attempt to return it. Try to cancel. Contact support. Track how many screens, calls, transfers, explanations, and approvals the process requires. Do not merely ask whether the process works. Ask how hard the customer must work to make it work. Leaders should also: Listen to customer calls and analyze customer sentiment Identify recurring complaints and escalations Examine policies that produce fees or prevent cancellations Compare earned sales from repeat customers and referrals with sales purchased through advertising Track retention after contractual obligations end Give employees appropriate authority to resolve problems Remove incentives that reward short-term revenue at the customer's expense Making it easier for unhappy customers to leave may feel risky. But making every customer feel trapped is far more dangerous. Trust is more valuable than captivity. Key Takeaways Ease of doing business must apply to the entire customer relationship, including cancellation, returns, support, and service recovery. Retention does not prove loyalty when customers face barriers to leaving. "Bad profits" may increase short-term revenue while damaging trust, referrals, employee morale, and long-term growth. Frontline employees suffer when they must defend policies they know are frustrating or unfair. Customer complaints and service-recovery situations are opportunities to demonstrate empathy and rebuild loyalty. Leaders should personally test their organization's customer journey. Repeat business and referrals are stronger indicators of loyalty than cancellation rates alone. The critical question is not whether a process works, but how hard customers must work to make it work. Memorable Quotes "Not all profit is good profit." "A customer hasn't been retained through loyalty. They've been trapped through friction." "Every company's job is to create customers who create customers." "You wouldn't have to chase new customers if you were keeping the existing ones." "Leaders need to spend time on the front line so they can feel the pain." "Don't ask whether the process works. Ask how hard the customer must work to make it work." "Trust is far more valuable than captivity."

Maladie hémorroïdaire, fissure ou fistule anale, incontinence ou encore cancer anal, les pathologies touchant le canal anal sont encore très taboues. Ainsi, leur évocation provoque souvent gêne et rires. Et, pourtant, ces pathologies touchent un nombre important de patients qui n'osent pas en parler et qui peuvent même tarder à consulter par peur de l'auscultation. Comment améliorer la prise en charge et déconstruire les tabous entourant ces maladies ?  Ce sont des pathologies taboues, honteuses pourtant très fréquentes : les maladies de la sphère anale. Crise d'hémorroïdes, fissure ou fistule anale, incontinence ou encore cancer anal… Un adulte sur trois dans le monde souffrira, au moins une fois dans sa vie, d'une crise hémorroïdaire. Comment dépasser les tabous qui freinent la prise en charge ? Les conséquences d'un dépistage et d'une prise en charge tardifs peuvent être préjudiciables pour la santé.

See what the team at The Successful Bookkeeper has on right now → This is the second and final part of Michael Palmer's conversation with Andrew Seguin, founder of Seguin Financial. If you want a candid look at how a bookkeeping firm doubles revenue without a big advertising budget, this episode delivers. Andrew walks through the real levers he pulls: a four-day workweek that keeps his team loyal, a disciplined approach to scope creep, and a referral engine built entirely on great service. Chapters [00:00] Introduction and Episode Recap [01:18] Four-Day Workweek Announcement [03:30] Andrew's Fridays: A Work in Progress [05:30] Scope Creep: How to Catch and Address It [09:30] Time Tracking as a Profitability Tool [12:00] How the Firm Doubled Revenue [15:00] Partnerships and Referral Strategy [18:00] Service as the Real Differentiator [21:30] Going Virtual Across Ontario [24:30] Final Advice: Start With Something The Four-Day Workweek in Practice Andrew made the switch to a Monday–Thursday, 36-hour week — with no pay cut for his team. "Working one hour extra per day doesn't feel as a big burden, but you get a whole day off every week, all year long," he explains. The response from clients has been overwhelmingly positive, and the retention impact has been real. For Andrew himself, it has gradually freed up his Fridays too — without the guilt of stepping away while his team is still at their desks. Catching Scope Creep Before It Costs You Andrew's approach to scope creep starts with the team: coach them to flag anything that feels different from the usual work, then back it up with time tracking so the numbers tell the story. Rather than hitting a client with a hard "that's out of scope," his firm offers two paths — "we can show you how to do it yourself, or we can have a conversation about a monthly increase to accommodate this." That framing keeps the conversation collaborative, not combative, and gets results either way. Partnerships and Referrals as a Growth Engine Seguin Financial grew from around a million dollars to double that in roughly 2.5 years — without meaningful advertising spend. The fuel? Strategic partnerships with fractional CFOs, outreach to franchise head offices, and a deliberate focus on asking the firm's best clients for referrals. "Our easiest client to take on is a referral," Andrew says, "because they've done probably so much work behind the scenes that at that point it's almost inevitable that they're going to become a client." Referrals arrive pre-sold — and they rarely price-shop. Service Is What Clients Can Actually See Andrew draws a clear line between quality of work and quality of service — and argues that for most clients, only one of those is visible. "Business owners are probably not going to always look at our reports. They might not really care a lot about the quality of the work. But the service they can see." Being responsive — not available at 8 PM, but back within 24 hours with an action plan — has moved Seguin Financial into a different tier in the eyes of their clients and made referrals far more frequent. Start With Something, Then Let the Data Lead Andrew's parting advice is straightforward: start tracking, even if it's just two spreadsheets. "Without time tracking, you're blind. You're honestly blind to which clients are doing very well for you and doing pretty poorly for you." He reviews his firm's analytics every month, makes a video for the team, calls out wins, and flags what to watch. That monthly discipline is what keeps the firm's profitability from quietly eroding — and what surfaces the clients worth doubling down on.

About the hostMichael PalmerMichael Palmer is the host of The Successful Bookkeeper podcast and co-founder of Pure Bookkeeping and The Successful Bookkeeper.

That gap is what The Successful Bookkeeper exists to close. His view: bookkeepers are the most undervalued force in small business — and every bookkeeper who builds a real business changes two families: theirs, and their clients'.

Mid-week Service - 7/22/26

In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter Donia and Jodie Brown wrap up their two part series on trending service niches by breaking down the pros and cons of toppers, men's toppers, gray transformation, and trichology. If you have not listened to part one yet, Hunter strongly recommends starting there first.This episode gets into some of the more complex and emotionally heavy niches in the industry right now, and Hunter is as honest as ever about what the opportunity actually looks like versus what the marketing around it might be leading you to believe.Key Takeaways:

A gun shop in Fallbrook got an email offering them money to give away lockboxes to active duty military. Their first reaction was the same one you are having right now: this smells like a Moms Demand Action front. So Jason Martin and his crew did the sensible thing. They dug into it before saying yes. What they found is a suicide prevention program called Pause to Protect, run through the University of Colorado and funded by the Department of War. A Marine walks in, shows an active duty ID, and walks out with a lockbox. No application, no paperwork, no personal information collected, nothing that looks like a registry. Jason sat on a panel of shop owners from around the country who all came in skeptical and came out of it the same way he did. Michael takes the whole thing apart on air, piece by piece, and lands where a lot of you will land: a free safe for a Marine is just a good deal. The part almost nobody talks about is in there too. Service members living in the barracks still have nowhere legal to keep a firearm, because no base in Navy Region Southwest has actually built a plan around the order allowing troops to carry on base. The rest of the show is stacked. Hawaii answered the Wolford decision by handing out free "no guns" signs to businesses, so the crew walks through what one of those signs actually does and does not do to you legally, in Hawaii and in California. AR-15s are back on Virginia shelves after the injunction. Michael has the update on Renna, the roster case he is a named plaintiff in, including the newly added AB 1127 Glock claim and the motion for summary judgment, plus why the Miller case still matters even after the Supreme Court takes up two assault weapons bans. Sam gets stumped (sort of) by a machine gun that only fires one round per trigger pull. Michael makes the case that protests do not work and lays out what does: elections, lawsuits, and culture. And Alisha closes with the story out of Cerritos, where a concealed carry holder stopped a man with a knife in the middle of a Sunday lunch rush in Los Angeles County.
