From a childhood fascination with crystals, nurtured by his mother's metaphysical interests, to a full-fledged rock shop, Christian shares his lifelong passion for these natural wonders. We explore the beautiful intersection of aesthetic appeal and spiritual connection with crystals, and Christian's journey from a career in fashion design to his current focus on rocks, minerals, and community building. Join us as we delve into the mesmerizing allure of the crystalline world and the stories behind Christian's expansive collection. Whether you're crystal curious or a seasoned rock hound, this conversation will inspire and educate you.

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.

In this episode of "Talking Shop with Shop Owner," Doug Kaufman interviews Jason Rainey, VP of NAPA AutoCare and NAPA Autotech, about the NAPA Team Tool Rebate program.Rainey explains that the program is designed to help shop owners attract and retain technicians by providing them with the tools they need to do their jobs. The program works by allowing shop owners to earn rebates on their NAPA parts purchases, which they can then use to purchase tools for their technicians. Shop owners simply buy NAPA parts and NAPA handles the rebate process in the backside, distributing funds that shops can reallocate to their team members.This program isn't just about providing tools, Rainey says, but is also about building a strong culture within the shop. "By giving technicians the tools they need, shop owners can show them that they are valued and appreciated. This can lead to increased job satisfaction and reduced turnover. When you're attracting talent, you're saying, 'because we're partners with NAPA, we're able to do this. And so it really is a rising tide raises all ships kind of thing."Rainey also discusses the NAPA Auto Care Apprentice program, which is designed to help young people enter the automotive repair industry. The program provides apprentices with the training and mentorship they need to succeed. He notes that the program has been very successful, with over 2,000 apprentices currently working in NAPA Auto Care member shops. Rainey highlights the program's competency-based approach, stating, "if they haven't mastered a skillset, they can stay there. There's not the end of the marking period. They can stay there until they're able to master that skill."Rainey explains that NAPA is committed to helping shop owners succeed, offering a variety of programs and services designed to help shop owners attract and retain technicians, improve their operations, and grow their businesses.For more information visit NAPAOnline.com.

Progressive Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, mocked a disabled, wheelchair-bound Republican governor, calling him "Governor Hot Wheels" during a pro-LGBTQ benefit dinner this weekend.Crockett is already in hot water over other controversial recent comments such as calling for Elon Musk to be "taken down" and for Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, to be "knocked over the head, like hard."Speaking at a benefit for the Human Rights Campaign in Los Angeles, Crockett mocked Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, whose legs were paralyzed in a running accident in 1984.

She operates a cafe in West Georgia with a motto of "serving coffee with kindness." We could all use that in our world today. Rewind back to what made her focus on loving people out of dark times, this business owner talks about growing up dirt poor with a mom who made life magical with outdoors adventures...leaving everything to hike the Appalachian Trail...making plans to kill herself but why she didn't do it...and the healing power of kayaking. Now, she's opening up a first-of-its-kind venture in the Chattahoochee Valley. (3:18) The owner of The Brick and Mortar Cafe in Columbus GA first talks about why she left her 3 jobs and sold all her stuff, a decade ago, to set out to hike the AT from Georgia to Maine - and then why she had to stop after nearly 700 miles. The roots of it were depression and proving something to herself and the power to keep moving. And in Maine, she got a job managing a coffee shop that inspired her to open up her own! (10:00) The mission of her coffee shop in "Old Town" is to love people where they are, put a smile on customers' faces. That comes from the dark place of Heather being suicidal, years ago, and one final phone call stopped her. Brick & Mortar may not be faith-based, but they want to touch people's lives. A small part of that is writing uplifting messages on their coffee cups. Heather also hopes she can inspire/mentor other female entrepreneurs who, like her, may have though these dreams are not achievable. Growing up as a people pleaser, she's also learning to take care of herself. She also talks about how her life changed from losing her mom recently, after being her caregiver, and how the cafe community she build supported her so much. (24:45) The next business for her is a collaboration with the owner of local italian restaurant Treviolis called "The Collegiate Outpost" inside Columbus Technical College, a new concept for this part of GA. it's not just a place for coffee, sandwiches, pastries, pasta but also designed with a culinary internship program where students can learn skills and get future jobs at area restaurants, cafes. (27:37) Not owning a TV for the last few decades, Heather loves the outdoors - getting on the water and in the woods for decompression, stress relief, meditation. And Heather gets emotional talking about how her mom showed them how powerful and exciting it is to be out in nature. She also shares some wisdom she's learned from the valleys and mountaintops...her evolving from a judgmental young Christian to a person focused on love instead of legalism...plus some of her favorite coffee drinks. And I close out the episode talking about the pros and cons of coffee for your health and workouts, then a final prayer.

Just as randomly typing monkeys won't create meaningful writing, employees need clear direction to succeed. Leaders must clearly express their goals and expectations rather than leaving success to chance. Good communication requires both giving clear directions and getting feedback from employees to ensure everyone understands and can work together effectively.Takeaways: Effective leadership necessitates the establishment of clear goals and expectations to guide employees. Communication is paramount; failure to articulate goals results in confusion and inefficiency among team members. A lack of structured training can lead to random attempts to achieve objectives, akin to monkeys at typewriters. The importance of foundational knowledge cannot be overstated; without it, the entire structure of learning collapses.
