This Day in Legal History: United States v. VirginiaOn this day in legal history, June 26, 1996, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its landmark decision in United States v. Virginia, striking down the Virginia Military Institute's (VMI) male-only admissions policy. The 7–1 ruling held that the exclusion of women violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Writing for the majority, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg emphasized that gender-based government action must demonstrate an “exceedingly persuasive justification” to be constitutional.VMI had long argued that its adversative, military-style education would be compromised by the inclusion of women. In response to the lawsuit, Virginia created a separate program for women at Mary Baldwin College, which the Court found to be inherently unequal. The Court concluded that Virginia failed to show that its gender-based admissions policy was substantially related to an important governmental objective.Justice Ginsburg's opinion stressed that generalizations about gender roles cannot justify the denial of opportunity. The ruling did not require VMI to change its core program but made clear that women must be given equal access to it. This decision marked a significant moment in the legal evolution of gender equality and helped to dismantle one of the most visible public institutions that had resisted coeducation.Justice Scalia dissented, arguing that the decision imposed a rigid standard of gender equality that went beyond the Constitution's text and history. Nevertheless, the ruling reflected the Court's growing skepticism of laws that enforce traditional gender roles. United States v. Virginia remains one of the most cited gender discrimination cases and is considered a hallmark of Ginsburg's judicial legacy.A federal judge has extended a block on the Trump administration's attempt to dismantle Job Corps, a longstanding job training program for low-income youth. U.S. District Judge Andrew Carter ruled that the Department of Labor's plan to abruptly end the program without congressional approval likely violates federal law. The decision came in response to a lawsuit filed by the National Job Corps Association and several of its contractors.Job Corps, established in 1964, provides educational and vocational training for disadvantaged individuals aged 16 to 24. It currently serves about 25,000 participants at 120 centers nationwide, with an annual budget of $1.7 billion. The administration argued the program was inefficient, citing low graduation rates, poor job placement, and issues with violence and security at centers.However, plaintiffs maintain that only Congress can terminate a federally funded program and that the Labor Department failed to follow statutory procedures for closing individual centers. Judge Carter agreed, stating that once Congress mandates and funds a program, the executive branch cannot unilaterally terminate it.US judge extends block on Trump's bid to eliminate Job Corps program | ReutersA federal judge in San Francisco ruled in favor of Meta Platforms, dismissing a copyright lawsuit brought by authors who accused the company of using their books without permission to train its AI system, Llama. U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria found the authors failed to show sufficient evidence that Meta's AI training harmed the market for their work—an essential element in proving copyright infringement under U.S. law.While Chhabria emphasized that unauthorized use of copyrighted works for AI training could be illegal in many scenarios, he clarified that his ruling was limited to the plaintiffs' failure to present the right arguments or evidence. This position diverges from another recent ruling in which Judge William Alsup found that Anthropic's AI use of copyrighted content qualified as fair use.The authors' legal team criticized the decision, calling Meta's actions a form of “historically unprecedented pirating,” while Meta praised the outcome and defended fair use as essential for developing transformative AI technologies.This case is part of a broader legal wave in which creators are challenging companies like OpenAI, Microsoft, and Anthropic over AI systems trained on copyrighted materials. At the heart of the dispute is whether using such content without payment or permission to create AI-generated works constitutes fair use or undermines creative incentives.Meta fends off authors' US copyright lawsuit over AI | ReutersAnd in a piece I wrote for Forbes yesterday, I note the IRS managed an objectively successful 2025 filing season—processing nearly 138 million returns, most of them electronically—but also that success masks deeper structural weaknesses. While headline numbers are strong, the IRS suspended over 13 million returns, largely due to fraud checks or errors, delaying refunds and spotlighting operational vulnerabilities. One of the most glaring issues is the average 20-month wait time for identity theft victims to resolve their cases, many of whom are low-income taxpayers urgently awaiting those refunds.Staffing levels are at crisis lows: the IRS workforce shrank by 26% in the first half of 2025, casting doubt on its ability to maintain performance as the temporary funding from the Inflation Reduction Act winds down. Looking ahead, the 2026 expiration of key provisions from the 2017 tax law will require major administrative overhauls—updates to forms, guidance, and withholding tables—that the current IRS may be too under-resourced to handle.The agency has promising plans, including digitization of paper returns and case system integration, but even the best-designed systems require trained staff to implement and maintain them. Moreover, modernization must be inclusive: 17% of Americans still lack internet access, and an effective IRS must serve them too. Ultimately, tax administration is not just a technical task—it's a distributive justice issue, and how we fund and staff it determines who bears the burden when the system falters.What The IRS' 2025 Filing Season Tells Us About The Future Of Taxes This is a public episode.

Send us a textWhat happens when your approach to fatherhood is shaped by a determination to break generational patterns? Andre Mileti, Chief Revenue Officer at WorkBright and father of two boys, takes us on a deeply personal journey through his evolution as a dad.Growing up in an immigrant Italian household in Cleveland with an authoritarian father left Andre with what he calls "adaptive child wounds" that took decades to heal. Now, raising his golf-obsessed 10-year-old, Andrew, and hockey-loving 6-year-old, Matthew, he's consciously creating a different experience for his sons than the one he had.The conversation takes a powerful turn when Andre reveals his core philosophy: "Get over your own stuff." He admits spending the first half of his fatherhood still trying to meet his own emotional needs before realizing the true joy of parenting comes when you stop making it about yourself. This self-awareness, coupled with the courage to let his children experience failure, forms the foundation of his approach to raising resilient boys.Golf emerges as both a passion and a powerful teaching tool in the Mileti household. Andre shares the struggle of stepping back as a caddy for his son—fighting the urge to line up every putt and prevent every mistake. The pride in his voice is unmistakable when describing how his son refuses to take mulligans or gimmes, playing every hole with integrity. It's in these moments that the challenging work of breaking generational cycles bears its most meaningful fruit.For fathers wrestling with their own childhood wounds while trying to raise strong, ethical children, Andre's journey offers both compassion and practical wisdom. By fostering belief in our children's abilities while allowing them the space to fail and grow, we prepare them not just for sports but for life itself. Connect with Andre on LinkedIn to continue the conversation about breaking cycles and building character through thoughtful parenting.Please don't forget to leave us a review wherever you consume your podcasts! Please help us get more dads to listen weekly and become the ultimate leader of their homes!

Taking Control of Your Staffing with Amy Hillis by Joe Zuccarello & Paragon Pet School

A Sauna Talk from the British Sauna Summit, Tuesday, 20 May 2025 Hilton London Canary Wharf. Last year, Sauna Summit 2024 and 1.0, about 120 of us gathered rooftop at in Hackney. The spirit was both well organized like a conference, and yet intimate like a family gathering. This year, as attendance swelled to well north of 300, the Hilton Hotel ballroom provided a backdrop and familiarity of a “proper” (to use the British word) organized meeting. This is the evolution of sauna. What started as a somewhat jest and jovial organisation, like the growth of many things sauna, the British Sauna Society has ballooned into a structured membership of several hundred, representing the “saunapreneurs” of public saunas that dot the map of the UK's shoreline, streams, and urban communities. Yours truly was given the honour of announcing the winners of the second annual Sauna Summit Awards, which showcases outstanding saunas (Best Urban, Best Community, Best New, etc.). All of the contest participants are winners. And though there's surely pride and competition behind the curtain, yet what is displayed in the UK sauna scene is more collaboration and support. The Brits seem to recognize that the rising sauna tide lifts all public sauna boats. London Calling I am reminded of my time living in London. It was decades ago, and I had the dream job of music listings editor at Time Out magazine, where i'd have one on one relationship with the music venues (Dingwalls, Brixton Academy, etc.) and what stood out was the pricing structure of concert tickets. General admission at the top, then the list of discounted tickets (senior, student, unemployed, single parent, counsel estate resident, library card holder, etc.). It's ingrained in British culture to proudly support those underserved. And sauna culture today shares that “community support” ethos. America may face headwinds in this regard, being more capitalistic centric, yet Britain waves the flag of “serving their community” as evidence by the hundreds of saunas dotting their shoreline and beyond. Anyhow, in this episode we get to hear one on one conversations with folks from Harvia, Jake Newport from Finnmark, kindred spirit author Lassi Liikkanen, key Summit organizer Mark Lamb, his wife and author Emma O'kelly, Sauna from Finland Carita, Rob De Bank, and other folks “behind the scenes” and “between the action.” Notes from presentations at the British Sauna Summit: Carita 1. Take as long as you like in sauna. Listen to your body. 2. Nudity is common in private saunas. Often ladies and men's sides. 3. Most Finn's prefer 70-80c and we make löyly. 4. Sauna is a safe and relaxing activity for all ages. Sauna at the lake helps make family memories. 5. Everyone sweats differently. More sweat doesn't mean better 6. Sauna stones wear out. Replace them regularly. She changes stones twice a year. 6. Clean the sauna – deep clean under the benches. Dry the sauna after every use. 8. Whisking is gentle and relaxing. Good for your skin and circulation. Every sauna has its own soul. Löyly is the main thing. Dr emelia Vuitisalmi “Sauna is the one single place where we truly feel safe and we can relax.” Finns don't count minutes or measure temperature. Sauna stimulates three hormones 1. Dopamine. Direction Motivation and reward.  Walk your true path. Sauna is the place to answer these questions 2. Serotonin. Safety Sauna is the place where we feel safe. 3. Oxytocin. Connection. Sauna is an amazing place to connect with ourself. What is behind our own thoughts. Deep healing power of sauna takes us to a state of love. Sweat. Let go. Belong. The deep power of sauna. — Rob Da Bank Slo Mo Drew parallels of organizing festivals to the sauna space in UK. Dom Bridges Running his sauna for 12 years on the beach in Margate. Free. Significant part of the town. More like a skatepark, its own ecosystem. No one owns it, a spirit of togetherness.

At the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, Nursing Manager Josh Meyer has seen measurable benefits from implementing CensiTrac's AI² functionality. The tool has become an integral part of how the department monitors quality, manages staffing, and improves daily operations.With AI², the team is able to track key quality metrics across sterile processing workflows. From detecting sharp items improperly placed in containers to identifying holes in blue wraps or missing instruments in trays, every detail is logged and analyzed. This granular data helps ensure that only properly prepared and fully compliant instrument sets are sent to the operating room.In addition to quality monitoring, the system provides valuable insights into staffing needs and productivity levels. Meyer and his team use this data to assess daily output and identify where staffing adjustments may be necessary to maintain performance standards.By leveraging the technology, the sterile processing team has strengthened its operational visibility, improved accountability, and enhanced the overall quality of surgical support services.

Business Growth Do's and Don'ts with Carolyn Lowe   Scaling Smarter – How Carolyn Lowe Uses Profit First to Power High-Growth Amazon Brands Are your people profitable—or just payroll? In this episode of The Profit Answer Man, we're diving deep into the often-ignored truth of agency growth: labor isn't your biggest expense—it's your biggest risk. Carolyn Lowe, founder of ROI Swift and a fierce advocate for Profit First, reveals the real math behind scaling service businesses profitably and sustainably. Carolyn isn't just another agency owner. She's scaled brands from $30K to $600K/month profitably on Amazon, lived the corporate gauntlet at Dell, and now advises brands on how to grow without burning through their cash. From Fortune 100 boardrooms to scrappy startup trenches, she's seen it all—and she's here to break down what works. If you're serious about growing your business without losing your sanity or your margins, this is an episode you can't afford to miss.   In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why overstaffing is the silent killer of service businesses—and how Carolyn avoids it with a simple ratio. How ROI Swift uses labor efficiency ratios to guide every hiring decision. The surprising connection between lean teams and explosive profit margins. Why Profit First is a must-have playbook in low-margin, high-volume industries like Amazon services. How Carolyn applies EOS-style thinking to team structure and profitability.   Key Takeaways: 85% of expenses = people. In a service-based agency, margin management begins (and ends) with smart staffing. Labor Efficiency Ratio (LER) is Carolyn's north star. For every $1 in wages, her team must generate $2–$3 in revenue. Profit First is not optional. Even in hyper-growth, ROI Swift sticks to its allocations to avoid chaos and cash crunches. Growth ≠ headcount. Carolyn scaled a brand 20x by improving systems—not just hiring more people. If your profit is shrinking, look at your payroll first. Staffing bloat is the most common margin killer in scale-stage businesses.   About Carolyn Lowe: Carolyn Lowe founded ROI Swift in 2015 after seeing too many small brands overpay for underwhelming agency results. Her mission? Help 500 emerging brands grow profitably on Amazon. With a track record of turning brands from red to roaring—in one case from $30K/mo unprofitable to $600K/mo profitably in under 2 years—Carolyn walks her talk. She's also the author of Business Do's and Absolute Don'ts, distilling wisdom from her work at Dell, Costco, Amazon, and multiple startups. Oh, and fun fact? She's a licensed pilot (though these days she's too busy helping brands take off).   Conclusion: Growth is a Math Problem—So Do the Math Carolyn Lowe doesn't scale businesses by guessing. She uses math, metrics, and Profit First to create profitable growth without chaos. If you're tired of hiring ahead of revenue—or watching your payroll eat your profit—this episode gives you the blueprint.   Links: Website: https://roiswift.com LinkedIn ROI Swift - https://www.linkedin.com/company/roi-swift/   LinkedIn Carolyn Lowe – https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolynbyronlowe/   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

Send us a textWhat happens when life strips everything away before you've even begun? In this deeply moving episode of the Quarterback Dadcast, we welcome Clark Wilcox, whose extraordinary journey began with unimaginable tragedy—losing both parents within ten days when he was just five years old.Clark is the founder and host of the Digital Recruiter & Digital Recruiter Podcast.Growing up in France to an Algerian father and American mother, Clark's childhood was abruptly transformed when his father died unexpectedly. Days later, upon learning the government planned to take her son away, his mother took her own life. Transported to America to live with his mother's family, Clark had to learn a new language, adapt to a new culture, and somehow make sense of his shattered world.Through the guidance of his grandmother and adoptive father, Clark discovered the power of positivity, curiosity, and resilience. "My dad was never going to let me be a victim," Clark reflects, "but he didn't do it by telling me—he did it through action." These early lessons would become the foundation for his approach to life, business, and eventually, fatherhood.Now a successful entrepreneur running The Digital Recruiter and raising two young sons with his wife, Clark shares how his faith journey became the cornerstone of his recovery from both childhood trauma and later professional setbacks. His candid discussion about reconciling with his adoptive mother demonstrates how forgiveness works as a healing force not just for the forgiven, but primarily for the forgiver.What makes Clark's story so compelling isn't just what he overcame, but how he transformed his experiences into wisdom. The values he prioritizes—humility, grace, forgiveness—reflect a man who has thought deeply about what truly matters in parenting and in life. His journey reminds us that our greatest challenges often contain the seeds of our most important contributions.Whether you're facing challenges in your parenting journey or simply seeking inspiration from someone who has transformed pain into purpose, this conversation will leave you with practical wisdom and renewed hope.

Discovering Grayslake: A Deep Dive into Community Safety with Chief Jeff Myhra Welcome back to "Discovering Grayslake," your go-to podcast for all things related to our beloved community. After a two-year hiatus, we're thrilled to bring you an insightful episode featuring Jeff Myhra, the Chief of Police of Grayslake. In this episode, we delve into Chief Myhra's journey in law enforcement, his connection to the community, and valuable tips for ensuring safety in our town. Whether you're a long-time resident or new to Grayslake, this episode offers a wealth of information to help you stay informed and engaged. Meet Chief Jeff Myhra: A Journey from Aspiration to Leadership Early Aspirations and Career Path Chief Myhra's journey in law enforcement began with childhood aspirations inspired by his grandparents, immigrants from Norway. His early interest in becoming a police officer was solidified during a career day at school, where a police officer's presentation left a lasting impression. After high school, Myhra joined the military, which provided him with the opportunity to further his education through the GI Bill. He attended the College of Lake County, earning his degree while working at Menards in Fox Lake. From Community Service Officer to Chief of Police Myhra's career in law enforcement started with a community service officer position in Grayslake. His dedication and work ethic quickly earned him a full-time position as a police officer. Over the years, he has held various roles within the Grayslake Police Department, including investigator and sergeant. His passion for investigations and commitment to community service have been the driving forces behind his successful career. The Evolution of Grayslake: Reflections on Community Changes Transformations Over 26 Years During his 26 years of service, Chief Myhra has witnessed significant changes in Grayslake. He recalls the days when local establishments like Carmine's and Pat's Pizza were prominent and praises the vision of village managers and trustees who have worked diligently to enhance the town's appeal. The landscape of Grayslake has changed dramatically, making it unrecognizable compared to what it was decades ago. Staffing and Community Safety The Grayslake Police Department currently has 31 designated officers, with a few part-time officers to fill in gaps. Rather than focusing solely on population numbers, the department prioritizes call volume and response times to ensure effective service to the community. This practical approach contributes to the town's financial stability, as they avoid unnecessary debt. Common Issues and Practical Advice for Community Safety Opportunistic Crimes and Preventive Measures Many crimes in Grayslake are opportunistic, often stemming from residents forgetting to lock their car doors or leaving keys inside their vehicles. Chief Myhra emphasizes the importance of simple preventive measures, like locking doors, to reduce crime rates. Identity theft is another concern, particularly with the rise of online scams, which sometimes require federal intervention. The Importance of Community Engagement Chief Myhra believes that police work is fundamentally about serving the public and providing excellent customer service. He stresses the importance of listening to the community's needs and building trust between law enforcement and residents. The department aims to foster compliance through education rather than generating revenue through tickets, reflecting a philosophy that prioritizes community trust and cooperation. Personal Insights and Community Connection Balancing Work and Family Life Chief Myhra reflects on the challenges of balancing his career with family life, especially as a father of four. He acknowledges the stress of working in major crime investigations, which often require long hours and can be emotionally taxing. Despite these challenges, he emphasizes the importance of maintaining a strong work ethic and being present for his family. Personal Interests and Hobbies Outside of his professional life, Chief Myhra enjoys the outdoors, including hunting and fishing. He recently took up guitar lessons at the age of 45, highlighting the importance of continuous learning and personal growth. His love for the outdoors and fascination with Bigfoot add a personal touch to his professional persona, allowing the community to connect with him on a more personal level. Practical Tips for Community Safety Parental Guidance and Technology Chief Myhra emphasizes the importance of parental vigilance in keeping children safe. He advises parents to stay engaged and aware of their children's activities, especially as they spend more time on their devices. Using apps like Life 360 to monitor children's whereabouts can be helpful until they are old enough to manage their own phones. Navigating Online Transactions Safely With the growing trend of online transactions through platforms like Facebook Marketplace, Chief Myhra advises conducting such transactions at the police department, where there is always some level of surveillance and personnel available. He encourages community members to be cautious and to trust their instincts when dealing with potential buyers or sellers. Payment Safety Tips For smaller purchases, Chief Myhra prefers cash, while for larger transactions, he recommends using cashier's checks or money orders to ensure safety. He expresses caution about digital payment methods, as they can sometimes lead to complications or disputes. Conclusion: Fostering a Safe and Engaged Community This episode of "Discovering Grayslake" provides valuable insights into the challenges of modern parenting, the impact of technology on safety, and practical advice for community members to enhance their personal and collective security. Chief Myhra's dedication to the community, commitment to transparency, and focus on proactive policing strategies highlight the values that underpin the Grayslake Police Department. As we continue to navigate the complexities of modern life, staying connected, informed, and vigilant is more important than ever. We encourage you to engage with your local officers, recognize their hard work, and perform random acts of kindness to foster a supportive and engaged community spirit.

Send us a textWhat if homeschooling were the entrepreneurial version of education? In this perspective-shifting conversation, Dan Mori, Managing Partner of Staffing Mastery, explores how rethinking traditional approaches to parenting and education has transformed his family's life.Dan shares his journey from initial skepticism about alternative schooling to becoming a passionate advocate, explaining how his wife's entrepreneurial framing helped him see education differently: "Entrepreneurs find better, more efficient ways of doing things. With homeschooling, you can learn how your kids learn and put them in programs that spark their interests." This customized approach has allowed his three children to pursue their unique passions - from parkour and skateboarding to performing arts.The heart of this episode revolves around meaningful life lessons passed from one generation to the next. Dan recounts a powerful story from his childhood about his mother teaching him that "it's not what you give, it's what you sacrifice" - a principle that guided him and his brother to donate their favorite toys to a family who had lost everything in a house fire. This lesson in empathy continues to shape how he parents today.Perhaps most valuable is Dan's insight into understanding each child's unique needs. He shares a breakthrough moment helping his son with a science project, where he discovered his son needed visual learning rather than written instructions: "I need to do a better job taking a step back and trying to understand the individual needs of different people in my household, and meet them where they're at versus where I think they should be." This distinction between expectations and agreements forms a powerful framework for better communication with our children.Connect with Dan on LinkedIn to learn more about his work with Staffing Mastery and the Staffing Sales Summit, where he helps staffing industry professionals improve their sales practices through actionable insights and peer learning.Please don't forget to leave us a review wherever you consume your podcasts!

On today's show we are taking a deeper look at AI. I realize that this is a real estate podcast. But real estate is a business like any other business. AI has changed the world. It has democratized information in ways that we have not even begun to process. I am increasingly finding myself asking more and more questions of AI that historically I would have asked myself. Some people think that AI is over-hyped. I actually think it is under hyped. Most businesses have not even begun to think about how their organization will change as a result. They have not planned how roles and responsibilities get defined with the assumption that AI is going to assume much of the work that would have been delegated in the organization.-----------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

Send us a textWhat shapes us as fathers? For Kyle Rampy, Vice President, Central Region, at Tier 4 Group and father of four children under ten, the answer lies in embracing the light and shadow of his past.In this heartfelt conversation, Kyle takes us through his journey from a childhood fractured by divorce at age four to building a stable, values-driven home for his family. With remarkable vulnerability, he shares how moving between his mother in Kansas and father in Texas shaped his understanding of family dynamics, including a pivotal moment in third grade when missing over a month of school led to a custody change that would alter the trajectory of his life.Rather than glossing over difficult topics, Kyle dives deep into how his mother's struggles with depression impacted him, and his ongoing work toward forgiveness while she battles cancer today. "There's forgiveness there, even though there's been hurt," Kyle reflects, showing how breaking generational patterns often begins with healing our own wounds first.The conversation shifts to Kyle's parenting philosophy, built around three core values: leading with love, maintaining strong faith, and demonstrating unwavering integrity. His practical approach to emotional regulation stands out—instead of escalating tension when his children become upset, he's learned to get down on their level and ask curious questions. "What's causing you to have this reaction or emotion?" This simple shift has created not only a more peaceful home but also deeper connections with his children.We also explore Kyle's professional journey in staffing, his work at Tier 4, and his passion for supporting Women in Technology initiatives.  His values inform his leadership style, you will see firsthand during this episode. The episode concludes with a lightning round revealing everything from his favorite comedy movies (Billy Madison or Happy Gilmore) to who would play him in a movie (Ryan Reynolds).Whether you're navigating a complicated family history or simply wanting to lead your home with greater purpose, Kyle's story reminds us that our greatest parenting challenges often become our greatest gifts—if we're willing to do the inner work first.
