Send us a textStep into the captivating world of one of the American frontier's most enigmatic figures as we unravel the complex tapestry of James Butler "Wild Bill" Hickok. Beyond the legendary gunfighter lies a man of striking contradictions – fearless yet temperamental, courteous yet deadly, flamboyant yet practical.Our deep dive reveals Hickok as neither simple hero nor villain, but rather as the embodiment of frontier complexity. Contemporary accounts paint him as quiet and unassuming one moment, intimidating and volatile the next. Though General Custer praised his composure in danger, his quick temper triggered deadly confrontations. Remarkably, this same man demonstrated steadfast loyalty, generosity, and a tendency to champion underdogs, from saving young Buffalo Bill Cody from a beating to protecting mistreated animals and dispersing lynch mobs.Physically striking at over six feet tall with flowing hair and piercing blue eyes, Hickok crafted his appearance carefully, alternating between practical frontier attire and meticulously tailored shirts with scarlet vests – actively contributing to his own mythmaking. While undoubtedly an exceptional marksman, modern analysis suggests his true advantage in confrontations came from extraordinary composure under fire and unwavering readiness to use deadly force. His diverse career as scout, teamster, lawman, and gambler showcased remarkable adaptability, though Hays City ultimately proved "too tough" even for the legendary Wild Bill.Discover why Hickok remains such a fascinating figure as we separate fact from fiction and explore how his real-life complexities became intertwined with the mythical Wild West narrative.

Why Workers Need a Pro-Labor NLRB

Leslie is joined by Megan Salrin and Jimmy O'Donnell of the United Steelworkers (USW). The trio analyzes why workers need a Pro-Labor National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). In one of his early acts as president, Donald Trump not only fired National Labor Relations Board General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo but also removed NLRB member Gwynne Wilcox. Firing Wilcox upended nearly 90 years of Supreme Court caselaw and left the NLRB unable to perform its vital mission of upholding workers' rights. So what is the NLRB, and why do workers depend on it to ensure they have a voice on the job? The NLRB is an independent federal agency tasked with safeguarding workers rights in a number of ways.         - It oversees union elections – and ensures that employers abide by the law when workers seek to organize.         - It also prevents and remedies unfair labor practices, again ensuring that workers are free to engage in concerted activity and access their rights under the National Labor Relations Act.     The NLRB is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and has 26 different Regional Offices.         - There are five seats on the Board, which are filled through presidential nomination and then Senate confirmation.         - The members serve five-year terms, and the terms are staggered so that one seat is supposed to be open each year – though delays can cause vacancies to occur.     The NLRB shapes labor law in several ways including by issuing decisions on cases, which sets national precedent, and by issuing rule making.         - Because the president nominates members to the board, they have the ability to influence how it operates based on their priorities.         - Pro-worker presidents traditionally appoint members who take the job to enforce workers rights' seriously while pro-corporate leadership effectively limits workers' ability to form unions and collectively bargain.                - Under the previous administration, for example, the NLRB made key advances when it came to leveling the playing field for workers, such as banning the captive audience meetings employers too often used to try to thwart union elections. Currently, the board is down to just two members, which means it does not have a quorum and cannot make decisions or enforce labor laws. That means:     - Workers facing unfair treatment—like illegal firings, intimidation, or bad-faith bargaining—could be left waiting months or even years for justice.     - Striking and organizing workers will have fewer protections.     - Employers who break the law may get away with it if cases can't be heard.     - Furthermore, this upheaval has emboldened greedy corporations looking to block workers from exercising their rights.        - For example, Whole Foods (which is owned by Amazon) is arguing that they will not recognize a union formed in January because of the lack of quorum at the Board. An NLRB member can only be fired for serious misconduct—like neglecting their job or breaking the rules. No President has ever fired a Board member like this before, and there does not appear to be any valid reason to remove Wilcox.     - Wilcox filed a lawsuit in response to her firing. While a DC District Court judge ruled in her favor and reinstated her, her case has gone through a number of appeals and is now headed to the Supreme Court, which recently once again removed her from her position until it can rule on the merits of the lawsuit.       - Oral arguments are due to begin on May 16, which means between now and then the board is again hobbled.   As more and more workers signal that they want the protections of a union contract it's essential that we have a labor board that takes its job seriously.     - This means allowing members like Wilcox to finish their terms.     - And pushing our elected leaders to nominate and confirm qualified members who will take the job of protecting workers seriously. Megan Salrin is the National Coordinator for the United Steelworkers' Rapid Response program, the union's nonpartisan initiative for education, communication, and action on legislative and policy issues affecting USW members. Before this role, she served in USW's Legislative and Policy Department and worked for several Members of Congress from the Midwest. Jimmy O'Donnell is a Legislative Representative for the USW, where he advocates for pro-worker policies related to labor rights, workplace health and safety, clean energy manufacturing, and workforce development.

In this episode, I'm joined by my dear friend and co-author, Dr. Bill Stixrud. We dive into a topic that's been at the heart of so many recent conversations: how schools can do a better job supporting students' mental health, motivation, and overall well-being.Bill and I have spent a lot of time lately visiting schools, giving talks, and listening—really listening—to what kids are telling us about their experience in today's education system. We're talking chronic stress, anxiety, and a relentless pressure to perform that's robbing too many students of joy and curiosity. In this episode, we explore why this is happening, how schools got here, and most importantly, what we can do to change it. From the science of autonomy to the powerful impact of rethinking homework, we unpack real strategies that can make school a place of growth, not just grades. Episode Highlights:[1:07] – A student's bold question about homework and mental health gets a thunderous response.[2:25] – Why we took a hard look at public schools in our new book's bonus chapter.[3:29] – The critical role of autonomy in mental health and intrinsic motivation.[5:03] – Two big opportunities for schools: more voice and healthier environments.[6:16] – Striking data: mental health outcomes are worse during the school year.[8:14] – Students share how their lives revolve around impressing college admissions officers.[11:00] – Why school often ignores what neuroscience says about how brains actually learn.[13:32] – A principal shadows students for a day—and is shocked by the experience.[14:30] – The importance of downtime and unstructured moments between classes.[16:33] – Three steps for teachers to reflect on the purpose and impact of homework.[18:28] – Low intrinsic motivation is linked to nearly every mental health issue.[19:34] – A bold shift: one district makes homework optional and ungraded.[22:17] – How over-emphasizing homework can backfire on learning and wellness.[23:14] – Reducing content, adding autonomy: how med schools improved outcomes.[24:56] – Can we build schools that foster joy, not just performance?[29:47] – Inspire, don't require: how one school reimagined homework.[34:31] – Collaborating across schools and communities to create real change.[36:14] – Parents can respectfully ask for the evidence behind educational practices.[38:21] – Radical downtime, meditation, and how calmer minds lead to better learning.[39:59] – Final thoughts: Let's reframe schools as places of growth, joy, and human development. Links & Resources:https://www.cdc.gov/classroom-management/approaches/student-autonomy-empowerment.html https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/childrens-risk-of-suicide-increases-on-school-days/ https://news.yale.edu/2020/01/30/national-survey-students-feelings-about-high-school-are-mostly-negative If this episode has helped you, remember to rate, follow, and share the Self-Driven Child Podcast.

This Podcast Is Episode 624, And It's About Trading For Sales Vs. Trading For Profit In the Construction Business Times were tough, so Remodeler John decided to lower prices below those of his competitors. He promoted a charge-out rate 20% below the industry average, explaining that his overheads were lower than those of larger companies.   The turning point came after advice from his mentor. "You're selling yourself short, John," said the mentor. "With your qualifications and experience, you should charge at least as much as other businesses – if not more. I understand your marketing strategy, but I don't think clients see it that way. They are more likely to interpret lower costs as lower value and quality. In your industry, confidence goes a long way, so you shouldn't be afraid of marketing yourself at a price that reflects your expertise and experience."   Then came the call from his accountant. "Aren't the sales figures great?" said John, getting his bit in first. "Yes," said the accountant, "impressive sales indeed. That's the good news. The bad news is that the business has actually lost money over the last quarter."   This was how John learned that trading for sales and trading for profit could be different. Chasing sales revenue is fine, provided your prices give you a sustainable profit. John hadn't checked his costs for some time, so the unwelcome news from the accountant came as a shock.   In the construction industry, business strategies can vary significantly, particularly regarding the goals of trading for sales versus trading for profit. Understanding the distinctions between these two approaches is essential for contractors and construction businesses aiming for long-term success.   Trading For Sales   Trading for sales focuses primarily on generating revenue and increasing the volume of work undertaken. Businesses adopting this approach often prioritize:   1. Volume Over Margin: The goal is to secure as many contracts as possible, even accepting lower profit margins. This strategy can be beneficial for establishing a market presence and building a portfolio of work.   2. Winning More Contracts: Construction companies may aggressively bid to win contracts, often underestimating costs to make their proposals more attractive. This can lead to an immediate revenue influx but risks squeezing profit margins.   3. Short-Term Focus: While generating sales volume can provide immediate cash flow relief, it may divert attention from long-term sustainability and profitability.   4. Increased Risk: Accepting low-margin projects can expose businesses to more significant risks, especially if unforeseen costs arise or projects exceed budgets.   Trading For Profit   In contrast, trading for profit emphasizes the importance of maintaining healthy profit margins and sustainable business practices. Key aspects of this approach include:   1. Cost Analysis: This strategy involves thorough cost assessments to ensure all expenses are covered, and a reasonable profit margin is included in pricing. It prioritizes profitability over sheer sales volume.   2. Selective Contracting: Businesses may focus on projects that align with their capabilities and offer the best profit potential rather than simply accepting every available job.   3. Building Long-Term Relationships: Trading for profit often emphasizes forming relationships with clients based on trust and quality of work, leading to repeat business and referrals rather than one-off contracts.   4. Investment in Quality: By prioritizing profit, companies can invest in high-quality materials and skilled labor, enhancing their reputation and leading to better long-term outcomes.   Finding the Balance   While the two strategies may seem mutually exclusive, many successful construction businesses find a balance between trading for sales and trading for profit. Here are some strategies to consider:   1. Diversified Projects: Secure a mix of contract types—some aimed at building sales volume while others focus on profitability. This allows for stability and growth.   2. Efficient Operations: Improve operational efficiency to reduce costs without sacrificing quality. This can help improve profit margins while still being competitive in bidding.   3. Data-Driven Decisions: Utilize accurate bookkeeping and financial analytics to guide decisions. Understanding past project performance can help inform future bids and strategies.   4. Building Value: Shift client perceptions by emphasizing the value of your work rather than just the cost. Clients who recognize quality and reliability may be willing to pay a premium.   How Construction Bookkeeping Can Help You Avoid Selling Yourself Short And Price Your Services Competitively   Accurate bookkeeping can distinguish between thriving and surviving in the competitive construction world. Many contractors struggle with pricing their services correctly, often leading to undervalued projects and lost profits. Here's how effective construction bookkeeping can help you avoid selling yourself short and ensure you price your services competitively.   Understanding Your Costs   One of the primary benefits of bookkeeping is gaining a clear understanding of your costs. This includes direct costs such as materials and labor, and indirect costs like insurance, permits, and overhead. By tracking these expenses meticulously, you can gain insightful data about your actual costs, allowing you to create a pricing strategy that accurately reflects the value of your services.   Improved Project Costing   Construction bookkeeping involves detailed project costing, which enables you to evaluate how much time and resources are spent on each project. Analyzing past projects can identify cost overruns or savings trends that inform your future bids. Knowing the real costs helps ensure you're not underbidding your work, allowing you to set prices that fairly compensate you for your effort and expertise.   Cash Flow Management   Effective bookkeeping helps you manage your cash flow effectively. By keeping tabs on income and expenses, you can avoid the pitfalls of cash flow shortages that often plague contractors. A healthy cash flow allows you to invest in quality materials, hire skilled labor, and cover unexpected expenses without compromising future projects. This financial stability strengthens your position when pricing your services.   Competitive Pricing Strategy   With accurate financial data at your disposal, you can analyze what competitors are charging for similar services. Understanding the market rate allows you to adjust your pricing strategy accordingly. Comprehensive bookkeeping gives insights into deciding whether you compete on price, quality, or unique services.   Financial Insights for Growth   Detailed financial records provide insights not just for pricing but also for long-term growth. By assessing the profitability of different services or projects, you can strategically focus on the most lucrative areas of your business. This means you can price your services to reflect the value of your unique expertise and position yourself competitively in the marketplace.   Final thoughts   The trade-off between sales and profit is a critical consideration in the construction business. While generating sales volume can boost short-term revenues, focusing on profitability ensures long-term sustainability and growth. Striking a balance between these two approaches allows your construction company to thrive in a competitive market, optimizing revenue and profitability for lasting success.   Accurate construction bookkeeping is vital for ensuring you don't sell yourself short. Offering a clearer picture of your costs, optimizing project bids, managing cash flow, and formulating a competitive pricing strategy empowers you to price your services competitively.  About The Author: Sharie DeHart, QPA, is the co-founder of Business Consulting And Accounting in Lynnwood, Washington.
