This week on the RV Podcast: Liz Amazing on RV Defects and the Fight for Consumer Rights We interview Liz Amazing, who has one mission, protect RV owners and hold the industry accountable, no excuses, no hiding, she exposes it all. While the government has closed, the National Parks have mostly stayed open…but at a growing cost Why you do NOT want to cancel your RV insurance while the rig is in storage for the winter All this plus the RV News of the Week and your questions coming up in Episode #570 of the RV Podcast You can watch the video version from our RV Lifestyle YouTube Channel by clicking the player below. If you prefer an audio-only podcast, you can hear us through your favorite podcast app or listen now through the player below. [power press] RV CONVERSATION OF THE WEEK - with Liz Amazing on RV Defects Liz Amazing is a consumer advocate with a YouTube Channel dedicated to helping people who face significant problems with their new RV. Liz regularly features heartbreaking stories of individuals and couples who poured their savings into a new rig only to face one major repair after another, and run into brick walls when trying to get the problems fixed.  Liz lets RV owners tell their stories, sometimes through tears, then approaches the RV dealers and manufacturers seeking solutions, which she often receives. Through her work, Liz has discovered industry trends, advocates for quality improvement, and offers help to those with nowhere to go. In the crowded world of RV YouTube Influencers, Liz has carved out an important niche as a consumer advocate, and we're delighted to have her on the RV Lifestyle today as our guest.  In this conversation, we discuss the challenges faced by consumers in the RV industry involving quality issues, unregulated practices, and heartbreaking stories of buyers left with defective RVs. The discussion highlights the importance of consumer rights, the role of social media in advocacy, and tips for avoiding common pitfalls when purchasing RVs. Liz emphasizes the need for manufacturers to prioritize quality over profit and offers insights into choosing the right RV and dealer. Liz Amazing on RV Defects Takeaways: Liz Amazing transitioned from a novice camper to a leading RV advocate. She emphasizes the importance of using her platform for good. Many RV buyers face heartbreaking quality issues with their purchases. The RV industry is largely unregulated, leading to poor consumer experiences. Liz highlights the shift in manufacturing practices, prioritizing profit over quality. Social media serves as a powerful tool for consumer advocacy. Buyers often face challenges with buybacks and NDAs from manufacturers. Avoiding mass-produced RVs can reduce the chances of quality issues. Independent RV makers often provide better quality products. Liz encourages consumers to do thorough research before purchasing an RV. RV NEWS OF THE WEEK When Washington Closes, the National Parks (Mostly) Stay Open — But at What Cost? More and more stories are emerging each week of the difficulties the nation's national parks are facing during the continued federal government shutdown. Utah is spending $8,000 a day to keep the visitor centers open at its five national parks, and groups like the Zion Forever Project are collecting donations and paying to print maps, feed rangers, and keep things open for the tourists showing up. At Joshua Tree, a wildfire started in the camping area during the shutdown, but it is now contained. Pinnacles National Park had brownish water coming out of the campsites because a maintenance worker wasn't there to flush the system. The state of Colorado is paying to keep the visitor centers open at the Rocky Mountain National Park. And since none are collecting visitor entrance fees, all anticipate significant budget gaps next year.  Six Months, No Camper — So He Brought His Work to Camping Wor...

Ion Feldman, CTO at Rightway, has learned to love one thing about scaling a company from a kitchen table to nearly 1,000 employees: his job completely changes every six months. In this episode, Ion shares what it means to lead engineering when the role refuses to stay still—from writing code in the early days to building product, security, and data teams, and now shaping AI infrastructure. He explains how to stay hands-on without micromanaging, why he deliberately works himself out of roles by hiring people better than him, and how to preserve startup urgency inside a heavily regulated industry. If you've ever wondered how CTOs balance technical depth with business strategy while keeping their team fast and focused, this conversation delivers.Key TakeawaysTreat change as part of the job.Ion's leadership mindset centers on adapting to wherever the company needs him most—product, security, data, or AI. He views change as an opportunity to grow, not a disruption to avoid.Hire yourself out of the role.He dives deep into an area, builds it from scratch, then brings in experts who can take it to the next level. Once the right leadership is in place, he steps back completely and lets them own it.Hands-on time creates credibility.Ion makes sure every leader spends time building. Each quarter, his team takes a week off from meetings and Slack to focus on creating something new. It keeps them close to the work and sharp as technical leaders.AI adoption needs clarity and focus.Rightway avoids vague “use AI” goals by targeting clear use cases like unit test generation and onboarding to codebases. Sharing examples and results drives faster adoption than leaving teams to figure it out alone.Fail fast and move forward.Ion builds space for experimentation but expects quick recognition of failure. The goal is not to avoid mistakes but to learn, pivot, and evolve faster.Timestamped Highlights[02:10] The zero to one mindset – Why Ion thrives on constant reinvention and the satisfaction of building new functions from the ground up.[06:41] Three pillars of AI strategy – How Rightway is transforming work through AI enablement, applied projects, and bold experiments.[08:26] Delegating by design – How going deep before handing off creates clarity and trust across teams.[15:42] Skills that matter later – Ion reflects on learning public speaking and business fluency after years of technical focus.[17:48] Creating space for risk – How to give your team agency to take on big challenges and fail fast without fear.[21:22] Preparing successors – Why the best leaders hire people who will replace them and rethink everything they built.What Stuck With Us"I don't know, maybe I just get bored easily. I think a lot of people could view it as a burden and they want to stay in their lane of expertise, but I see it as an opportunity to learn and change things up."Pro Tips for Tech LeadersTake a week each quarter to build something with zero meetings or Slack. It reconnects you and your team with what you actually love about engineering.Wait to hire senior leadership until the need is undeniable. The role becomes meaningful, and you'll attract higher caliber talent.Give your engineers specific AI examples and let them experiment from there. Adoption follows clarity, not mandates.

Episode Two Hundred and Seventy Three: Background checks every six months

Got a story idea for Bloodworks 101? Send us a text message If you only had six months to live, what's the first thing you'd do? What would be most important? Tough questions aren't they. But a local woman named Josie Rosler and her family had to answer them when they got some devastating news a few years ago. Josie shared her story with Bloodworks 101 producer John Yeager. What follows is an episode we're calling, " Six Months to Say Goodbye." Josie is speaking at a one day, arts conference for people who've experienced loss, in Lynnwood this Saturday and there's still tickets available. Her talk is on how to create a beautiful life, after experiencing profound loss. Here's a link to the registration. https://cam-arts.com/2025-Requiem-Event/

Josh Kremer is the co-founder of Paradero Hotels, a Baja-born luxury brand blending boutique resorts with destination management to create immersive, off-grid experiences. A classically trained chef who pivoted into real estate private equity, Josh brings both palate and P&L to building small-scale, high-touch hospitality. Susan and Josh talk about remote resorts, resourceful resourcing, and refined service. What You'll Learn About: • From chef whites to term sheets: Josh Kremer's zigzag from kitchens to Blackstone to founding Paradero Hotels. • Why “experiential luxury” beats “bikinis + margaritas," and how Paradero designs trips that spill far beyond the property line. • Off-beach on purpose: picking a site framed by five ecosystems to unlock creative freedom (and way better adventures). • Oasis IRL: how Baja's mountains create desert lagoons—and a top birdwatching haven—without cartoon mirages. • The unsexy backbone of remote hospitality: fiber pulls, buried power lines, backup gen, daily procurement runs, and a fleet of guide-led vehicles. • Scale by listening: adults-only → groups/events → families → homes; growing to 92 keys while keeping density low. • Where guests are pointing next: Riviera Maya (not in Cancun), Riviera Nayarit, plus eyes on Oaxaca, San Miguel, and Valle de Guadalupe. • Hiring where others won't: local-first, import managers when needed, and invest in great staff housing for a “soft landing.” • The 10x Rule: whatever effort you think it'll take, multiply by ten (site selection alone jumped from ~20 to 800!). • A perfect Paradero day: sunrise views → surf coaching → chef-driven breakfast → pool + temazcal → farm tasting → cliffside sunset → stargazing net. 1. Expect 10x More Work Than You Think Josh stresses what he calls the “10x rule”: however much effort you think a project will take, multiply it by ten. From evaluating 800 sites before selecting one to interviewing 20 architects before choosing a partner, the reality of launching a hospitality venture is far more demanding than anyone could have anticipated. The lesson applies broadly: if you're starting something ambitious, prepare for an order of magnitude more persistence, patience, and problem-solving than your first instinct suggests. 2. Culture Shapes Business—and Guest Experience Having lived in both Mexico and the U.S., Josh highlights how family-centric culture in Mexico contrasts with the U.S.'s emphasis on individualism. Understanding and respecting those differences helps him build both teams and guest experiences. The broader takeaway: Leaders who work across borders, or even within different communities, need to tune in to local cultural values. This can guide not only how you manage staff but also how you design meaningful customer experiences. 3. Operating in Remote or Nontraditional Locations Requires Creative Infrastructure Running a semi-remote property is as much about mastering logistics as it is delivering luxury. Josh described pulling fiber from a distant city, burying power lines to protect the guest experience, and organizing daily supply runs. The big lesson is that unconventional opportunities often require unconventional solutions. If you're drawn to an out-of-the-box idea, success may depend on investing early and heavily in the unglamorous operational backbone.   Josh Kremer on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshua-kremer-bb904a26/ Paradero Hotels https://www.paraderohotels.com/ Other Episodes You May Like:  159: 15-Day Career with Gustavo Viescas https://www.topfloorpodcast.com/episode/159 165: Purple Flower Luxury with Florence Li https://www.topfloorpodcast.com/episode/165 74: Calm and Nurturing Ghost with Trisha Pérez Kennealy https://www.topfloorpodcast.com/episode/74

When six months is the best a doctor can offer, hope feels like a cruel joke. In this Breakdown edition of Sickboy, we dig into Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)—a rare disease that once meant certain death but now has science flipping the script.Through narration and three candid interviews, this audio doc traces PAH's path from despair to possibility. Jane shares what it's like to have her lungs hijacked in her twenties. Dr. David Langleben, who built Canada's first pulmonary hypertension clinic, walks us through decades of grim prognoses. And Jamie Myra of PHA Canada explains why delayed diagnosis is still PAH's deadliest trick. But then comes the plot twist: a new therapy called Sotatercept, a treatment that doesn't just slap a Band-Aid on symptoms but actually targets the root cause. For doctors who've watched patients run out of time, it's nothing short of a game changer.The Breakdown is a new addition to the Sickboy's format! An audio documentary where we crack open one illness at a time and make sense of it with heart, humour, and the occasional “WTF.”Shout out to PHA Canada!

Executive actions, budget cuts, layoffs, and legislation—all within the first six months of the Trump administration—have severely curtailed disability rights and services, including access to Medicaid and the right to a free, appropriate public education. That's the finding of a recent report by the Center for American Progress, authored by Casey Doherty and Mia Ives-Rublee—who will be our live guests on Pushing Limits this week. Co-producer and host Eddie Ytuarte comments: “The Trump regime is as intent on going after the disability community as it is on targeting non-White communities, universities, immigrants, and politically progressive people and organizations.” Don't miss the rest of this important report reveal and discussion. This program is produced and hosted by Eddie Ytuarte. The post First Six Months – Lasting Damage – Pushing Limits – September 19, 2025 appeared first on KPFA.

Irish medium-sized businesses' perception of artificial intelligence has shifted considerably over the past six months, according to Grant Thornton's International Business Report (IBR). The IBR, which provides insights into the attitudes of 10,000 mid-market businesses across 32 countries, including Ireland, found the proportion of Irish executives branding AI "over-rated" has plunged from 45% to 23%, signaling a decisive move from hype to hands-on adoption. Over the same period, firms have hurried to put rules in place: more than half (53% in Q2) now require staff to follow an AI-usage policy when using Gen AI such as ChatGPT, spiking from 37% just six months ago. Nevertheless, enthusiasm is tempered by a persistent concern over data security. Six in ten of the executives surveyed say they worry about employees entering sensitive information into generative-AI platforms. The research also reveals a sharp improvement in companies' ability to spot practical applications for AI. Only a fifth (22%) of mid-sized companies now cite "difficulty determining productive uses" as a challenge, down from almost half (48%) six months ago. At the same time, privacy has surged to become the leading barrier to the adoption of AI tools. 58% of Irish executives noted privacy as the key challenge their organisation faces in adopting AI (up from 35%, six months previous). This underlines a real paradox: businesses are more confident in AI's potential, yet more anxious about how it handles information. Shane O'Neill, Technology and Digital Consulting Partner, Grant Thornton, said, "Over the past six months, we've heard that Irish mid-size businesses are shifting from cautious experimentation to confident deployment of AI. Executives are no longer debating whether the technology is 'over-hyped'. They're writing policies, training staff and embedding tools into day-to-day operations. That practical focus is driving productivity gains, particularly in data analysis, customer support and internal knowledge-sharing. "But optimism alone won't close the trust gap. Until organisations can guarantee that sensitive data fed into AI systems remains secure and compliant, adoption will continue to bump against serious privacy concerns. We believe the winners here will be those firms that treat governance and transparency as strategically important: investing in building clear policies and communicating openly with employees and customers about how information is used."

Anthony Saccaro warns that tariff impacts could take up to 6 months to hit the U.S. market, but “overall, things for the next six months look good.” He thinks investors should look beyond the big chip stocks and look for behind-the-scenes beneficiaries of AI to diversify holdings. “The tech sector in general should do really well” if the Fed lowers rates, he adds. On the other hand, he would avoid consumer discretionary.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

As President Trump hits the halfway mark of his first year back in office, former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer joins the podcast for a wide-ranging conversation grading Trump's second-term performance—the wins, the losses, and what might come next. Now host of⁠⁠ The Sean Spicer Show⁠⁠, Spicer weighs in on everything from immigration raids and tariffs to Trump's evolving foreign policy and the growing divide inside the MAGA movement on several issues. We also unpack the latest fallout from the Epstein files and why the administration's handling of the case is fueling anger on the right. We get into how the Trump press team is reshaping media access, Spicer's reflections on his time behind the podium, and whether he'd ever return to politics—or reality TV—after Dancing With the Stars. —

BY EARLY 1941, the U.S. Army knew it was about to get sucked into at least one of the wars that were already raging around the world. The Selective Service and Training Act had passed the previous fall, and already young American men were being drafted into the Army, swelling its ranks with green recruits. Sooner or not much later they'd be in combat, fighting for their lives. There was no time to be lost — those combat noobs had to be trained and hardened and prepared so that they would have as good a chance as possible when thrown into the fight. With that in mind, the Army started looking for suitable locations for a combat-training campus between Portland and San Francisco on the West Coast. It would need to be about 65,000 acres and, in addition to the usual building sites and gunnery ranges, it would have to include geography similar to the sites where the fighting was expected to happen: rolling hills, steep slopes, swampy terrain, thick forests, and something approximating jungle foliage. Moving very fast — after all, new conscripts were coming in all the time — the Army settled on two prospective sites: one near Eugene, and one just north of Corvallis. The Corvallis site won the toss — there were fewer residents to be displaced, and the railroad and highway infrastructure was more developed. That was in June 1941. By the end of that year, the funds were allocated and the plans drawn up, and nine months later Oregon's second largest city had spring into being out of the swampy ground.

Together, Tom and Patrick dive into a rapid-fire analysis of Donald Trump's performance as president, dissecting his leadership style as a project manager and the enormous complexity of running multiple high-impact agendas at once.

Six months into Trump’s second term in office, a CNN poll finds that a majority of Americans disapprove of the administration’s deportation program. Philip Bump with the Washington Post examines the history of Trump’s support among his base. The recently passed GOP tax-and-spending bill makes steep cuts to Medicaid and SNAP spending. Sarah Wire of USA Today reports on how states are concerned about making up the shortfall. The same bill created a new type of investment account for kids. The Wall Street Journal’s Ashlea Ebeling unpacks how it works and whether it’s a good investment option.

President Trump has been in office for six months of his second term and it has become a much different presidency as he has been able to deliver on campaign promises, get his "big beautiful bill" passed and has had major influence on the world stage.

This week, President Trump will announce a new artificial intelligence initiative and a new executive order on the technology.

As President Trump hits the halfway mark of his first year back in office, former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer joins the podcast for a wide-ranging conversation grading Trump's second-term performance—the wins, the losses, and what might come next. Now host of⁠ The Sean Spicer Show⁠, Spicer weighs in on everything from immigration raids and tariffs to Trump's evolving foreign policy and the growing divide inside the MAGA movement on several issues. We also unpack the latest fallout from the Epstein files and why the administration's handling of the case is fueling anger on the right. We get into how the Trump press team is reshaping media access, Spicer's reflections on his time behind the podium, and whether he'd ever return to politics—or reality TV—after Dancing With the Stars. —
