"Have we seen the productivity benefit from that? I think it's reasonable to say that no, no, we haven't."That is Ryan Maibach, President and CEO of Barton Malow, on the software stackhis own teams are carrying.Roughly 40 different tools for a project manager. Around 35 for a superintendent.He is not describing a company that failed to adopt technology. He is describing one that adopted a lot of it and is now counting the cost.His point on this week's episode was not that the tools are bad. Several of themwork. It is that digging foundations, placing concrete and erecting steel have not fundamentally changed, while the process wrapped around those activities has grown exponentially more complex. He is seeing burnout, and he is not seeing the productivity.Then he took it somewhere harder.If a construction manager exists partly to help a client overcome informationasymmetry, and AI hands that client the same knowledge directly, what is the service actually worth?Full episode out now.

A new July 2026 campaign poll shows that nearly 56% of New Orleans voters believe the city is on the right track, marking a massive shift in public sentiment compared to last year. The survey, paid for by the campaign of Mayor Helena Moreno and conducted by Greg Rigamer's BDPC, LLC found that only 31% of respondents still feel the city is on the wrong track.

How to Build the Teams That Make Customer Experience Stick Episode 262 of the Customer Service Revolution Podcast Launching a customer experience initiative is one thing. Building the internal structure that keeps it alive is another. In this episode of the Customer Service Revolution Podcast, John DiJulius continues his conversation with Dave Murray, Vice President of The DiJulius Group, about the stakeholders required to successfully launch and sustain a customer experience transformation. They focus on two groups that can determine whether a CX initiative becomes part of the culture or quietly disappears: the customer experience steering committee and CX ambassadors. Dave explains who should serve on a CX steering committee, how often the group should meet, what responsibilities it should own, and why representation must extend beyond customer-facing departments. John and Dave also explore how frontline employees can become influential CX ambassadors who reinforce standards, build peer-level support, and help organizations identify future leaders. Related:  Building an initiative that lasts Why a Customer Experience Steering Committee Matters A CX steering committee serves as the governing body of a customer experience initiative. The group helps select workshop participants, shape implementation priorities, review ideas, approve realistic next steps, and turn workshop content into usable training materials, playbooks, standards, and tools. The strongest committees include representation from both customer-facing and support departments. Sales, customer service, operations, training, finance, accounting, logistics, and other internal service providers all influence the experience customers ultimately receive. The committee must also be able to evaluate what can be implemented immediately, what requires additional technology or funding, and what should be scheduled for a later phase. Who Should Serve on the Committee? Most steering committees include managers, directors, department leaders, training professionals, and employees who understand how work moves across the organization. Members do not need to meet constantly. During normal periods, a monthly virtual meeting may be sufficient. During rollout or content-development phases, the group may meet weekly until key deliverables are complete. The goal is not to add another meeting. It is to create accountability for the customer experience. How CX Ambassadors Build Frontline Buy-In CX ambassadors are often frontline employees who participated in the original customer experience workshops and want to remain involved. They may not hold formal leadership titles, but they have influence among their peers. They understand the initiative, believe in its value, and can explain how it will improve the experience for customers and employees. Ambassadors help communicate what is coming, reinforce new behaviors, identify obstacles, share best practices, support individual locations, and keep the initiative visible after the formal rollout. John and Dave also explain why organizations should consider including respected skeptics and informal influencers during the development process. When these employees understand the purpose behind the initiative, they can become some of its strongest advocates. Related: How to get company wide buy in CX Ambassadors Should Support, Not Police One warning from the episode is especially important: CX ambassadors cannot become the "gotcha police." When ambassadors visit teams only to identify mistakes, the program becomes associated with punishment rather than improvement. Effective ambassadors recognize what employees are doing well, provide constructive coaching, replenish resources, answer questions, and help teams succeed. Their role is to support the culture, not inspect people into compliance. Customer Experience Has No Finish Line The most successful organizations continue meeting after the initial initiative has launched. Steering committees should review customer experience metrics, recognize employees, update standards, identify emerging service defects, and ensure CX training remains embedded in onboarding and leadership development. Ambassadors should continue sharing observations, comparing results across teams or locations, and identifying practices that can be adopted throughout the organization. Customer expectations, internal processes, technology, and business models change. Customer experience standards must evolve with them. CX Programs Can Help Identify Future Leaders A strong CX ambassador program creates another valuable result: it reveals which employees are ready for greater leadership responsibility. Employees who volunteer, coach peers effectively, reinforce standards, and take ownership of the experience demonstrate many of the behaviors required of successful leaders. Organizations can also reduce the number of accidental managers by allowing aspiring leaders to experience leadership training before they are promoted. This gives employees a realistic view of the responsibilities involved and helps companies evaluate more than technical performance when selecting managers. Key Takeaways A customer experience steering committee should govern the initiative after the initial workshops and rollout. The committee should include customer-facing departments and internal support functions. Steering committees translate ideas into realistic standards, training materials, playbooks, and implementation priorities. CX ambassadors are often influential frontline employees rather than formal managers. Employees who are skeptical of change may become powerful advocates when included early. Ambassadors should coach and support employees, not operate as compliance police. Monthly meetings help steering committees and ambassadors maintain momentum. Customer experience materials should be treated as living documents and updated as the business evolves. Ambassador programs can help organizations identify and prepare future leaders. Customer experience is an ongoing operating discipline, not a temporary project. Quotes "The steering committee becomes the governing body of the project." "We want to have cross-departmental representation because that is the group that shapes the project." "The primary thing ambassadors do is take that message back to their teams." "Sometimes the people who do not like change become advocates." "We do not want ambassadors looking only for the bad stuff and ignoring the good." "When it comes to customer experience, there is no finish line." "This is who we are as an organization, and we need to keep the focus on it." "Everything they have created is treated as a living document." "A customer experience ambassador program can help identify your future leaders." "Organizations often promote people without looking at the soft skills required to lead."

Text the Show⭐️Affiliate item of the week: The Octopus of Global Control by Charlie Robinson. The Octopus of Global Control is a controversial, nonfiction book detailing how those in positions of power are able to manipulate society for their benefit, why they believe that they are entitled to impose their warped world view of reality on mankind, and how we can break free from their grip. https://amzn.to/4ymhNWxWhat happens when political influence, global finance, and centralized power converge behind closed doors? Join Jesse Jaymz, Outcast, and special guest Charlie Robinson as they explore the history of Rockefeller Center's legendary Room 5600 and its connection to some of the most influential institutions of the modern era. From the United Nations and the World Bank to the IMF and the Trilateral Commission, the conversation examines the rise of globalism, the consolidation of economic and political authority, and the vision of an increasingly centralized world order. Was Room 5600 merely a corporate office—or the nerve center where ideas that reshaped international governance and global policy were cultivated? Tune in as we investigate the history, the influence, and the enduring debate over who really steers the future of the modern world.

In this deeply informative conversation, Ryan Cartlidge is joined by Dot Baisly—the Executive Director for the International Association of Animal Behaviour Consultants (IAABC). With an extensive background in shelter behavior, veterinary medicine, and private consulting, Dot brings a wealth of experience to the table, having previously led behavior programs at major organizations like the North East Animal Shelter and the Animal Rescue League of Boston. Dot holds a Master's Degree in Animal Behaviour from Tufts University and is a Certified Dog Behaviour Consultant, Certified Cat Behaviour Consultant, and Certified Shelter Behaviour Specialist. Together, Ryan and Dot dive into the topic of the Joint Standards of Practice (JSOP), a collaborative initiative aimed at creating a standardized, ethical framework for behavior professionals in an industry that remains largely unregulated. Dot provides much-needed clarity on the structure of the JSOP coalition—explaining the roles of the Steering Committee versus the signatory organizations—and details the massive effort involved in updating the document. She shares the story of how the JSOP recently evolved from a brief, Lima-based guideline into a comprehensive document that now incorporates the five domains of animal welfare and explicitly addresses procedure selection. The conversation highlights why these standards are essential for the future of the industry, moving beyond simple "effectiveness" to ensure that the intervention itself supports the mental and physical well-being of the animal. They discuss the importance of moving toward a recognized profession where practitioners are held accountable, and how collaboration—rather than competition—among certifying and educational bodies is the key to creating a unified, ethical voice. Ryan also announces that the Animal Training Academy has officially become a signatory of the JSOP, reflecting a shared mission to empower professionals with high standards of care. Throughout this episode, we discuss: ✅ The role of the IAABC as a global trade organization and independent certifying body ✅ Defining the Joint Standards of Practice (JSOP) and why it serves as the minimum standard of care ✅ The structure of the JSOP coalition, including the Steering Committee and signatory organizations ✅ The transition from a Lima-based framework to a more comprehensive, science-backed standard ✅ Why self-regulation is a vital step toward professional legitimacy and ethical behavior change ✅ The difference between "assent" and "consent" in supporting learner well-being ✅ How professional standards protect both the animal and the practitioner from burnout ✅ The importance of industry-wide collaboration in raising the bar for animal welfare Whether you are a seasoned consultant or a professional just starting your career, this episode provides a clear roadmap for understanding the ethical foundations of our industry and why participating in standardized, collaborative frameworks is a "no-brainer" for those committed to the highest level of animal care.

Episode Summary. On October 7, 2023, more than 3000 members of the radical Muslin extremist group Hamas surged across the Israeli border crying “Allahu Akbar” “God is good” raping women, beheading children, torturing, mutilating and murdering more than a thousand people, most of them civilians conducting the greatest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. How would you respond to the trembling words of a seven-year-old who said, “Daddy, these bad men said God told them to do those awful things. How can this be?” This episode seeks to answer this question by understanding what the second commandment teaches.For Further Prayerful Thought:How would you answer a new believer who said to you, “I believe Jesus is the Son of God, the risen Lamb slain to take away my sin, but why are there so many other religions in the world?”Why can't a chewing gum replica of the Alps convey their glory? Do you agree that a chewing gum replica of the Alps might be worse than no physical image? Why?Although man was created in God's image, our fall into sin means that we suppress the truth of who God is, especially our accountability to him, and remake God as OUR IMAGE—the way we want him to be, because we are created to worship.

On today's show we take a look at the new Apple CarPlay Ultra. And with the high cost of streaming these days, we give you our pick for the one streaming service that you should keep. We also read your emails and look at the week's news. News: Fox Is Buying Roku in $22 Billion Deal Gemini can now adjust your picture settings on Google TV Blink Just Launched Its First Doorbell With 2K Video — And It's Only $50 AWOL Vision Expands Home Entertainment Portfolio Apple's New CarPlay Ultra A listener sent us a link to: I tried Apple CarPlay Ultra and now everything else feels outdated. The author felt that CarPlay Ultra just made every other in-car system feel clunky – and after testing it in an Aston Martin DBX, I don't want to drive without it. So why is he so excited about this update? Main Takeaways from the Article: CarPlay Ultra is a full dashboard takeover: Unlike standard CarPlay (which only handles the central screen), this next-gen version extends seamlessly across all screens — including the instrument cluster, driver display, and center infotainment. It creates one unified, cohesive Apple-style interface for the entire driving experience. New design and customization with brand personality preserved: Tested in an Aston Martin DBX, it delivers crisp fonts, smooth performance, glanceable widgets (music, navigation, tire pressure, etc.), and deep customization. Aston Martin added brand-specific touches (e.g., custom dials with the wings logo, green colorway, and vehicle bird's-eye view) while keeping Apple's polish. Complete vehicle controls inside one UI: You can adjust climate, suspension, driver assists, drive modes, fuel/range info, radio, and more without switching to the car's native system. A clever "punch through" feature seamlessly jumps to the manufacturer's menus for unsupported controls (like ambient lighting) and returns instantly. Highly intuitive and responsive: Steering wheel controls let you swipe between views hands-free. Everything feels fast with zero lag, making it feel like a natural extension of the car rather than a bolted-on phone interface. Safety net if phone disconnects: Core driving info (speedo, critical gauges) runs locally and stays active. Navigation/media/apps resume seamlessly upon reconnection. Availability and future rollout: Currently live on high-end Aston Martins (with over-the-air or dealer updates for compatible models like DBX/DB12). More brands (Porsche, Mercedes, Polestar, and eventually affordable ones) are coming soon. Overall verdict: The reviewer says it makes every other in-car system (including their own Android Auto) feel clunky and outdated. It's not just visual — it fundamentally improves the driving experience, and they "never want to drive without it again." Netflix: The Best Single Streaming Service to Keep in 2026 With so many streamers out there costing us hundreds a year it has become expensive to watch TV. We asked ourselves, "If we had to pick only one streamer which one would it be?" And that streamer is - Netflix Why Netflix Wins for Most People Biggest variety and library — Massive catalog of originals (hit shows like Stranger Things, Bridgerton, Wednesday, etc.), licensed movies/TV, international content, documentaries, and new releases. It has something for almost every taste and mood. Excellent discovery tools — Strong recommendation algorithm that gets better the more you watch, making it easy to find what you'll like without wasting time. Reliable and polished — Simple, fast interface that works great on any device (smart TVs, phones, tablets, streaming sticks, etc.). Consistent quality and frequent new content. Other strong contenders fall short in our "one service only" scenario: Disney+ — Fantastic for families, Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar — but narrower overall appeal. Prime Video — Great value if you already shop on Amazon (and it comes with Prime perks), but the core streaming library feels less essential alone. HBO Max — Strong prestige dramas and movies, but smaller overall selection. Apple TV+ — Highest production quality per show, but much smaller library. Bottom line: Netflix gives you the broadest entertainment bang for your buck and the least chance of getting bored quickly. It's the safest "one and done" choice for a general audience in 2026.

We didn't mean to. No one ever plans to hand over a device that fuels late-night anxiety, comparison, and isolation. Yet, we look around our homes and realize a digital firehose is pouring straight into our souls. This Father's Day weekend, Pastor Tom continues our series, with a timely look at the spiritual battle inside our pockets. Drawing from a powerful, real-life moment of courage from a 7-year-old boy named Witten at a service this week in O'Fallon, IL, this message is a direct rallying cry for our church—and specifically for men—to stand guard over our homes. The enemy doesn't need to kick down your front door anymore; he just needs a Wi-Fi signal. It's time to talk back to the digital GPS of this world, break the silence, and protect the gates of our lives.

Officer Jason Meade Trial Explained: Murder Charge, Reckless Homicide, and Legal NuancesLawyer Talk: Off the Record, On the AirSteve Palmer explains the nationally recognized officer-involved shooting of 2020, focusing on Officer Jason Meade of the Franklin County Sheriff's Department. Steering clear of politics, he dissects the legal mechanics and implications of the trial outcomes, a story that's got everyone talking.Key Takeaways:Charges at a Glance: Officer Meade faced murder and reckless homicide charges related to a police shooting. The trial resulted in a hung jury for the murder charge and a conviction for reckless homicide 03:00.Why the Jury Was Hung: After initial deadlock, the judge delivered the “dynamite charge” (also known as the Allen or Howard charge in Ohio), urging jurors to reconsider and reach a verdict 01:40. Even with this, there was no unanimous verdict for murder.Understanding Reckless Homicide: Steve explains reckless homicide in Ohio: acting with ‘heedless indifference to the consequences'—a notch above negligence, but not quite intentional killing 04:00.The Sentencing Process: After conviction, Officer Meade was immediately incarcerated pending sentencing (maximum five years possible) 06:27.

Andrew Bayliss recounts how Pericles provoked the Peloponnesian War by steering Athens toward confrontation with Sparta. He details the Athenian strategy of retreating behind city walls and relying on naval imports, a move that tragically facilitated a devastating plague, claiming thousands of lives, including Pericles himself.1880 ATHENS

Winter punched me in the face this week, and it got me thinking about all the things that influence who we are, how we feel, and how we show up. In this solo riff, I unpack the sneaky invisible shit steering the ship... from food, movement, recovery, stress, and hormones, through to the people we spend time with, the information we consume, and the environments we put ourselves in. I share why winter and perimenopause have forced me to get a lot more deliberate about my energy, why a yoga class reminded me how noisy life has become, and why cleaning up your social media feed might be one of the most underrated mental health strategies going around. I also dive into tribe, belonging, accountability, novelty, and why sometimes the fastest way to change your mood, mindset, or momentum is simply to change what you're exposing yourself to. Turns out, we might not control everything that influences us... but we can absolutely influence the things that influence us.

Four-wheel steering sounds like magic the first time you feel it. One moment you're guiding a big SUV through a tight parking lot, the next it feels weirdly nimble, like the vehicle shrank around you. We dig into what all-wheel steering (AWS) actually does, when the rear wheels turn opposite the fronts, when they turn in parallel for stability, and why modern drive-by-wire control brings both benefits and new worries. We also get honest about the parts nobody puts in the brochure: added weight, extra complexity, and the kind of repair bills that can make you regret checking that option box.Then we switch gears to something that's pure fun per mile: go-karting around the Houston area. We share spots that go beyond the big indoor chains, from old-school outdoor tracks with personality to tighter neighborhood layouts that keep races close. If you want to level up, we talk about places that lean into motorsports culture with league racing, coaching, and a path to getting genuinely faster, not just louder.We also hit “This Week in Auto History,” connecting today's tech to the roots of the hobby: the first Indianapolis 500, the Marmon Wasp, the debut of early diesel passenger cars, and designs like the Chrysler Airflow that were bold enough to be misunderstood. Finally, we close with a real-world 2025 Land Rover Range Rover review, including what we love about the fit and finish and what we still can't stand, especially start-stop.

Looking for daily inspiration?  Get a quote from the top leaders in the industry in your inbox every morning.   Walter Magnuson is the Executive Director of Winchester Mystery House. With a background that includes guest-facing leadership roles at The Walt Disney Company and experience in hospitality, entertainment, and operations, Walter brings a blend of historical stewardship and modern attraction management to one of the most recognizable historic properties in the United States. Throughout the conversation, he shares insights into preserving the legacy of Sarah Winchester while continuing to evolve the guest experience for modern audiences. In this interview, Walter talks about legends and lore, steering the passion, and providing reassurance. Legends and lore “And the legends and lore of the story is that she sought out a medium… and the medium advised that all the karma is cursing you.” Walter explains how the story of Sarah Winchester continues to fascinate guests more than a century after her passing. He walks through the origins of the home, from Sarah's personal tragedies and the rise of spiritualism in the late 1800s to the unusual architectural features that still define the estate today. The house's winding hallways, stairs leading nowhere, and sealed-off rooms have fueled decades of speculation and intrigue, helping transform the property into a globally recognized attraction. At the same time, Walter emphasizes that the attraction is not solely about ghost stories. The team continues uncovering new historical details about Sarah Winchester's philanthropy, business acumen, and influence during a time when few women held similar power or independence. By balancing the paranormal appeal with deeper historical storytelling, Winchester Mystery House continues to evolve while still honoring the myths and mysteries that first captured public attention. Steering the passion “I think it's really trying to steer that passion in the direction that is most beneficial for us and for the guest experience.” Walter speaks candidly about leading a team of “caretakers” who feel personally connected to the house and its history. Rather than referring to employees as staff members, the organization embraces the idea that everyone is collectively responsible for preserving and sharing Sarah Winchester's legacy. Walter explains that many team members feel deeply protective of the property, sometimes even hesitant to expose certain areas of the house to guests out of fear of damage or overuse. His leadership approach focuses on channeling that passion toward guest-centric thinking. By opening previously restricted spaces, enhancing storytelling, and modernizing parts of the experience, Walter has worked to shift the internal culture toward accessibility and hospitality while still respecting the home's historical significance. He also discusses the realities of operating a privately owned historic attraction, reminding the team that ticket revenue directly funds restoration efforts and keeps the property relevant for future generations. Providing reassurance “It's not escapism and it's not fantasy. It's reassurance.” Walter reflects on lessons he learned during his time at Disney, specifically the philosophy shared by legendary Imagineer John Hench. Walter explains that great attractions do more than entertain. They reassure guests that the world is meaningful, welcoming, and worth exploring. He connects that philosophy directly to Winchester Mystery House and other historic attractions that create emotional experiences capable of inspiring guests long after they leave. Walter also applies this mindset to leadership and organizational culture. Whether discussing neighborhood development around the property or guiding employees through operational change, he consistently emphasizes optimism, communication, and perspective. For him, attractions are not just places people visit. They are places where people reconnect with history, imagination, and each other. That sense of reassurance, he believes, is what makes experiences truly memorable and enduring.   Walter can be reached on LinkedIn, as well as by email at walter@winchestermysteryhouse.com.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Have you ever hired someone to free up your time and found yourself working more hours than before? Have you hit a point where your reputation for quality is actually the thing keeping you stuck in every project? Today's featured guest and his wife have been building their agency for over 22 years. For most of that time, the business ran on referrals, no defined niche, and two founders doing most of the work. Six years ago, they got serious about building a real team. In this episode, he talks honestly about what that transition looked like, why his technical strengths became a liability as the agency grew, how a lack of sales infrastructure was quietly making their delivery problems worse, and what the shift to actually picking clients has done for their operations. Olivier Bridgeman is the co-founder of Bridge Media, a marketing and web agency serving businesses in residential construction, renovation, and maintenance—recognized as the builders of credibility. Although it has been operating for over two decades, Olivier and his wife made the decision to build a real team and install the infrastructure that would let the business grow beyond them just six years ago. The agency now has 11 people, and Olivier is in the process of evolving out of the operator role and into something closer to CEO, working through the mindset and structural challenges that come with that shift. In this episode, we'll discuss: The expected cost of adding more people When your biggest strength turns you into a bottleneck Fixing sales to fix the delivery problem Sponsors and Resources This episode is brought to you by Wix Studio: If you're leveling up your team and your client experience, your site builder should keep up too.

Their approach is simple: invest in great founders, protect what's already working, and help agencies scale faster. Go to https://www.herringbonedigital.com/swenk and start the conversation. Why Adding People Made the Work Harder Before It Got Easier After years of being the sole force behind the business, the motivation to build a team was simple: bring on people, hand off work, and get time back. The reality was that the first hires created more work, not less. Olivier and his wife had to deliver their own work, review and redo the team's work before it went to clients, manage schedules, clarify responsibilities, and absorb the cost of onboarding, all at the same time. This is the Manager stage in full effect, and it is the stage where most founders assume something is broken when it is actually just the expected cost of the transition. What Olivier describes is exactly what makes this stage so difficult: you used to know what you were doing every afternoon. Now you have to manage your own calendar and everyone else's. The invisible work of managing people, training them, setting expectations, and maintaining quality does not show up on any timesheet. It just accumulates. The goal is to move through this stage quickly, not to stay in it and hire more people on top of it. When Your Biggest Strength Becomes the Bottleneck Olivier's programming ability, which was his edge at the start, became a trap as the team grew. When you are the best technical person in the room and there is a problem in front of you, the reflex is to fix it. It is faster. It is cleaner. And it quietly signals to the team that you do not trust them to solve it themselves. The pattern is common across founders who built their agencies around a specific skill. The capability that created the business eventually becomes the reason the founder cannot leave it. Every time Olivier jumped in to fix something, he was reinforcing the team's dependency on him rather than building their ability to handle it independently. The structural answer is not to stop caring about quality. It is to raise the standard through coaching and systems rather than through personal intervention. The goal is a team that can hit 80 percent of what you would have done, on their own, then coach them to 82, then 85. Perfection is not the benchmark. Capability without you is. What Fixing Sales Did to Their Delivery Problem For most of Bridge Media's existence, new business came through referrals and local relationships. That felt safe. Working some local events and being known within their market was enough for a while. In practice, it meant every client was different, every project required a different set of skills, and the team was constantly starting from scratch. The founders had to stay deeply involved because the work never became repeatable enough for anyone else to own it. Two years ago, Olivier and his wife made a deliberate shift toward building an actual sales function. The downstream effect was not just more leads. It was better client fit, more predictable project types, and a team that could finally develop real expertise in a consistent area of work. When you build a pipeline, you get the ability to be selective. When you are selective, you take on clients your team can actually serve without the founders embedded in every deliverable. Referral dependency does not just create revenue risk. It creates a structural trap that keeps founders in the operator seat far longer than necessary. The Mindset Shift That Has to Happen Before the Role Can Change Olivier knows he needs to step back, and it is still hard. Not because the systems are not there, but because the identity is hard to separate from the work. When you have spent years building a culture of teamwork and being present for the team, stepping into a more removed role can feel like abandonment, both to the team and to yourself. The reframe that matters here is not about working less. It is about what the business actually needs from you at each stage. You may think that your biggest contribution to the agency is your time, but at the CEO level your job is: Setting the vision Communicating it consistently Coaching the leadership layer Protecting the culture through behavior rather than through presence Steering direction That work is roughly 20 hours a week when done correctly. The challenge is that most founders do not believe that until they have experienced it, and the discomfort of having fewer hours filled pushes them back into the operator role they just worked hard to leave. Recognizing the rubber band effect for what it is, significance-seeking disguised as contribution, is what makes it possible to stop pulling yourself back in.

In today's episode, Claire is joined by archaeologists Jodi Magness and Deirdre Fulton to discuss Jodi's book The Archaeology of the Holy Land: From the Destruction of Solomon's Temple to the Muslim Conquest. This book is an excellent introduction to the archaeology of ancient Palestine with a structure that allows the reader to learn about the history alongside the archaeology. The introduction begins just before the destruction of Solomon's Temple in 586 BCE and moves through time covering the Persian, Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine Periods. Major sites include Masada, Caesarea Maritima, and Petra as she discusses monumental archaeology, pottery, and more. Jodi Magness is a Classical and Biblical archaeologist specializing in ancient Palestine (modern Israel, Jordan, and the Palestinian territories) from the time of Jesus up to the tenth century. Her research interests include Jerusalem, Qumran and the Dead Sea Scrolls, ancient synagogues, Masada, the Roman army in the East, ancient pottery, the Byzantine-early Islamic transition, and Diaspora Judaism in the Roman world. She has participated on over 20 excavations in Israel and in Greece, including co-directing the 1995 excavations in the Roman siege works at Masada. Since 2011, she has directed excavations at Huqoq in Israel's Galilee, which are bringing to light a monumental Late Roman (fifth century) synagogue paved with stunning mosaics.Her most recent books are Jerusalem Through the Ages: From Its Beginnings to the Crusades (2024) and Ancient Synagogues in Palestine. She is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and Past President of the Archaeological Institute of America.Deirdre Fulton joined the Department of Religion at Baylor University in the fall semester 2013.

Fulton is also interested in zooarchaeological related research, connecting text and artifact. She is involved in several ongoing excavations in Israel, including the Leon Levy Ashkelon Excavations, Tel Shimron Excavations, and also the Jezreel Valley Regional Project. Her interest in archaeology helps inform questions related to diet, sacrifice, and economy.Deirdre is a member of the Steering committees on Literature and History of the Persian period for the Society of Biblical Literature and the Feasting and Foodways for the American Schools of Oriental Research. She is also a member of the Catholic Biblical Association and American Institute of Archaeology. She is married to James Fulton, a Geochemist in the Department of Geology.

This week on the show I share 2 case studies from the last week. Both are steering angle sensor relearns that won't complete, or won't correct the issue. First is a 2008 Volkswagen GTI that had the battery disconnected and won't learn the steering angle basic setting afterwards. The second is a 2021 GMC Terrain that has an off center steering wheel no matter what relearn or alignment procedures are performed. Website- https://autodiagpodcast.com/Facebook Group- https://www.facebook.com/groups/223994012068320/YouTube- https://www.youtube.com/@automotivediagnosticpodcas8832Email- STmobilediag@gmail.comPlease make sure to check out our sponsors!SJ Auto Solutions- https://sjautosolutions.com/Automotive Seminars- https://automotiveseminars.com/L1 Automotive Training- https://www.l1training.com/Autorescue tools- https://autorescuetools.com/

* Couldn't Stand the Weather: This week Fred Williams and Doug McBurney are joined by Lt. Col. (R) Paul Homan, PhD, former Director of Meteorology at the Air Force Academy, who now serves in the Officer's Christian Fellowship at the Academy. (You can catch Dr. Homan's previous appearances on RSR regarding methane, CO2 and anthropomorphic climate change right here). * Chemtrails! Find out the real story behind the origin of chemtrails, (and how it turns out the Air Force was behind it the whole time). * Hard Currency: Predictions are the hard currency of Real Science and last time Dr. Homan was on Real Science Radio Dr. Homan made a prediction about the 2025 climate being slightly cooler than 2024, and he was right!  * Texas Flood: Did cloud seeding a few days before the 2025 4th of July floods on the Guadalupe River in Texas contribute to the tragedy there? * Cloud Seeding: Dr. Homan provides a clear explanation of what cloud seeding is, how it works, and what's really at play in events like the lack of snow at the opening of the winter Olympics in Peking and the Dubai flash floods in 2024. * Steering a Hurricane: Find out how much energy would be involved in order for HAARP or any other government program, or actor to steer a hurricane in order to effect an election. and whether or not "weather modification" might be a weapon. * Accidental Geoengineering: Hear how human activity like jet contrails and car exhaust have an impact on the climate (and the weather), and how they compare to the sun's solar cycle and volcanoes like the Hunga Tonga undersea eruption in 2022. * Sponsor a Show! Go to our store, buy some biblically oriented science material and sponsor a show! * In The Beginning: Pre-order the 9th edition of Walt Brown's amazing, enlightening, biblically sound book explaining why Earth, (and the solar system) look the way they do!
