President Donald Trump is scheduled to travel to central Texas today to tour damage of the devastating July 4th weekend floods. More than 100 people have been confirmed dead, and nearly 200 are still missing a week later. As people in the region continue to mourn their loved ones and assess the destruction, there has been a lot of finger-pointing over whether more could have been done to alert people about the flood risks. If staffing cuts at the National Weather Service played a role, and who's to blame for the mounting death toll? Richard Spinrad, the former administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, talks about how staffing cuts make the agency's job harder.And in headlines: A federal judge in New Hampshire blocked the Trump Administration's order ending birthright citizenship after a class-action challenge, retiring Republican North Carolina Sen. Thom Tills unloads during a CNN exclusive interview, and former Columbia grad student Mahmoud Khalil filed a claim against the Trump administration for $20 million in damages.Show Notes:Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

Send us a textWhat happens when a builder's hands meet a teacher's heart? Travis Webb, VP of Sales at PARQA and father of three nearly-grown children, joins us to share how his unique upbringing created the blueprint for his parenting approach.Travis reveals how his father, a union electrician turned entrepreneur, equipped him with both literal and figurative tools for life – teaching him to build everything from skateboard ramps as a kid to the tiki bar with electricity and plumbing that now stands in his backyard. Meanwhile, his mother's 44-year teaching career instilled in him a patience and calm demeanor that balances his entrepreneurial drive. This blend has shaped not only his successful career in staffing and sales leadership, but also his thoughtful approach to raising three children who are now 23, 21, and 18.The conversation explores a provocative question: can you be friends with your kids? Travis challenges conventional wisdom, suggesting that friendship and accountability aren't mutually exclusive when you know how to "flip the switch" between roles. He shares candid stories about navigating disagreements with his teenage daughter, learning when to engage and when to step back, and prioritizing presence at his children's activities despite demanding work commitments.One particularly insightful moment comes when Casey and Travis discuss a question that transformed both his business and parenting approaches: "Do you want to be right or do you want to get what you want?" This simple but profound question has helped him check his ego and focus on outcomes rather than winning arguments—whether in the boardroom or at the dinner table.As his children transition to adulthood, Travis reflects on the bittersweet reality of watching them leave home while celebrating their independence. For younger parents, his experiences with youth sports, travel tournaments, and building lasting memories offer valuable perspective on what truly matters in the long run.Ready to rethink your approach to leadership—whether at home or in business?

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!

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. Sara Higgins Seaside Sauna Haus Dorset. “It's about connection with yourself, and it's also about connection with who you share the bench with. “ “Focus on your thing and shout about others. “ Wild Scottish Sauna Jayne McGie & Jamie Craig-Gentles Met each other in the water. Started as a swim group. “We go into the sea to release. “ They run 5 saunas and are very active in their community. 1,000 people. 5 pounds each. Brought communities together. Staffing is also part of the community. 18 sauna hosts. Work for one day a week. Extra money for them as a second job. Zack Avery &Soul Community. The heart of the project is to give people a space to belong. Share spaces together. West London  Dundbar theory. Societies thrive in communities of about 100-150 people. Egalitarian space. Not wearing their title. Shared humanity in sauna.  Heart of the community space. The sauna is the center of the community space. Need for nurturing spaces. A thirst for better ways of being in the city. Dr Martha : an expert in ritual and belonging. Move our way from the normal to the secret. Physically taken away from the normal… liminality. Neither here nor there. Sauna creates an intense lininal space. Research with extreme groups. Extreme experience bond us together. Expert in ritual and belonging. —- The holy trinity : fire, ice, and löyly Lasse spoke about the three methods of heat transfer plus condensation (moisture forming on the body). If you follow the “Instagram sauna” and replicate it, you may run into problems that you cannot even power up the heater.” Daryl Bosomworth Brass Monkey Spoke about ice. And the cold. The important factors of why and how to bring cold as a best practice for saunas. Cold : “you are micro dosing with a potent stressor. “ Alex Lembke, Finnish Sauna Master of the year.

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!
