The crew is back together for a jam-packed episode! Matt returns from his travels, and we hit the mailbag to tackle listener questions before diving into regional updates: Matt covers U.S. Spec and Texas, Charles breaks down SYP, and Gregg takes us through the Great Lakes and Boston. We recap key takeaways from Russ Taylor's insights last week, then dig into the latest in housing—both new and existing, and what it all means for lumber demand. The team lays out short-term forecasts for supply, demand, and pricing over the next 30–60 days. Don't miss the debut of our Lumber Pick Challenge—each of us picks one undervalued and one overvalued item, with prices logged today and results reviewed on the August 4 episode. Plus, we play the Short-Term Market Forecast Game, giving our two-week price predictions on key indices like CME, WSPF, Hem-Fir, and SYP. We wrap it all up with 30-second rapid-fire advice for newer traders navigating today's market. Big ideas, a few laughs, and one “Big Beautiful Bill.” Hit play and stay sharp.   Contact the show personalities below Gregg@Sitkainc.com Mattbeymer@hamptonlumber.com Cdelatorre@commtransport.com Ashley@Sitkainc.com

The full crew's back before Matt jets off to Spain, and there's a lot to unpack. What's up with the Section 232 inquiry into lumber? Are we looking at more tariff talk for Canadian and European imports—and how soon could it hit? Gregg throws some cold water on the hype, while Charles declares SYP officially DOA (for now) and breaks down the lack of market dynamics. We all agree: something is shifting in lumber. Is it upside? Downside? Depends who's driving. Gregg says supply push is now behind the wheel, and demand pull has taken the backseat. If this sounds confusing—perfect. That's why you hit play, filter through our take, and walk away sharper. Like and subscribe if you're into that kind of thing.

Join us for an insightful conversation with Thomas Mende of Binderholz, a leading expert in European lumber manufacturing, the largest importer of dimension from Europe to the US, and operator of two cutting-edge Southern Yellow Pine (SYP) mills in Florida and North Carolina. In this episode, Thomas dives into the future of European lumber shipments to the US, exploring the impact of currency fluctuations and log costs. We discuss the home center business, mass timber trends, and global export markets. Learn about the innovative flexibility of Binderholz's US SYP mills to adapt cutting profiles swiftly and uncover value opportunities in the eastside vs. westside 2x4 #2 SYP pricing spread. Packed with industry insights, this episode will leave you smarter and inspired with fresh trading ideas.

With the full lumber crew—Matt, Charles, Gregg, and Ashley—dive deep into the current state of the lumber market as April kicks off. From SYP oddities to the new CME contract, the team covers what traders, builders, and mills are buzzing about. Matt breaks down volatile DDF prices and the coastal Hem-Fir jump, Charles unpacks the SYP 2x4 #2 vs. #3 price parity mystery, and Gregg gives us the lowdown on European spruce and Eastern SPF. The crew also tackles the low-volume launch of the new SYP futures contract at CME, supply/demand imbalances across home centers and pro yards, and where inventory might be bottling up. Rounding it out: a lively chat on mill margins, tariff speculation, and of course, our favorite segment—Marry, Date, Dump—featuring lumber picks and a few laughs.  If you're in the wood world, you don't want to miss this one.

Matt Layman is back, and we start cranking early. From builder earnings to home sale trends, we dig into what's driving the housing and lumber machine right now. Then we ask the big one: Is the tariff risk already priced in? Or is there more heat to come? We get into the SPF vs. SYP narrative—why it's gotten way too loud, and what matters. With the new SYP CME contract launching Monday, we take a few wild guesses on how it'll trade. Plus, we tackle real customer questions (some live!), and as always, drop a few nuggets to make you just a little bit smarter.

Gregg takes us through housing starts, and Charles lays out the numbers on 2x4 and 2x6 9'. This episode is loaded with free intel—things your lazy trading partner might be missing.

Are you interested in other episodes of Speak Your Piece? Click Here. The episode was co-produced by Brad Westwood, Chelsey Zamir, and Dr. Katherine Kitterman, with sound engineering and post-production editing from Jason T. Powers, from the Utah State Library Recording Studio. In this Speak Your Piece episode, we hear from Dr. Constance Lieber, author and historian, on her book Dr. Martha Hughes Cannon: Suffragist, Senator, Plural Wife (Signature Books 2022), with SYP host Brad Westwood, and co-host Dr. Katherine Kittermann, Utah State Historical Society's women's history coordinator. In this episode, Dr. Lieber discusses the subject of her book, Martha “Mattie” Hughes Cannon, who in 1896, became the first elected female state senator in the United States, an extraordinary accomplishment as she was elected 24 years before most women in the United States could vote. A groundbreaking late 19th-century woman, Cannon vacillated between her goals, her public ambitions, being a devout Mormon, a polygamist wife (she was the fourth of six wives), an attentive mother, and a practicing physician.  Cannon was a standout suffragist locally and nationally, a compelling writer and orator, and a pioneering public health leader for the state.In this episode, hear Drs. Lieber and Kitterman discuss a myriad of insightful details compiled by Lieber after many years of research. A statue of Dr. Hughes Cannon is slated to be installed, sometime in 2024, within the U.S. Capitol National Statuary Hall, to represent Utah,  among likenesses of prominent Americans, from across the United States.For the speakers' bios, please click here for the full show notes plus additional resources and readings. Do you have a question?

My guest this week is asking me the tough questions on behalf of SNF (and every other setting that receives these reports) SLPs everywhere! In this episode of SYP, I have a conversation unlike any other in SYP history with Gavin Levy, MA, CCC-SLP entitled, Swallow Instrumentals Through a Critical Thinking Prism. After meeting at ASHA, Gavin brought up the idea of this conversation but was anticipating being a listener, not the interviewer. Once you listen, you'll agree that he was the best SLP for the job. Gavin asks some tough and stimulating questions that need to be asked of our field! He brings his passion, enthusiasm, genuine inquisitive nature, and desire to learn to this chat and leaves you eager for part two. Haven't left a review yet?

Would you ever consider seeing a child with PFD via teletherapy? If you're most people, you'd probably prefer to see them in person. But what happens when a pandemic shuts the world down and those children still need therapy? My guest this week is sharing how she went from being skeptical and feeling like there's no way teletherapy could work for PFD clients to seeing parents become empowered, confident partners helping their children make leaps and bounds of progress through teletherapy. In this episode of SYP, I have a conversation with Robin Vincent, MS, CCC-SLP, about treating clients with PFD via teletherapy during and after the pandemic. While most people might prefer to treat PFD clients in person, there are some major perks to utilizing teletherapy for this population that often get overlooked! Robin shares her experiences, her tips for SLPs who want to work with the PFD population, and some inspirational reminders that we can all use! Haven't left a review yet?

Have you ever gotten a MBSS report and felt like you needed to do another study just to get the information you need to actually know how to treat the patient? Many SLPs have faced this dilemma that is not only wildly frustrating, but delays care, increases costs, and exposes patients to more radiation... BUT my guest this week created a solution and is sharing the details on how you can do the exact same thing for your community! In this episode of SYP, I have a conversation with Nikki Howell, CCC-SLP, about her experience in starting an MBSS Initiative that has transformed into a full-blown SLP Council for the SLPs in her area to collaborate! The project started as a way to improve the consistency of MBSS in the facilities in her area but has grown to be something MUCH greater that will have a long-lasting effect for patients and clinicians alike. Nikki is passionate about bettering our field, her education, and working together to improve patient care! In this episode, you'll hear about: *The beginning of the MBSS Initiative *How it has now transformed into an SLP Council *Goals of the council *How did Nikki find herself in a position to start the initiative? *Resilience tips for SLPs Listen to the full episode here: https://syppodcast.com/269 The post 269 – Better Together: The SLP Council Initiative with Nikki Howell, CCC-SLP appeared first on Swallow Your Pride Podcast.

If you got a consult for a pediatric TBI patient, would you expect them to be like any other peds patient? Or maybe like your adult TBI patients? Or... maybe you have no idea what to expect at all! There is little research to guide our practice with this unique population, but my guest this week is changing that! In this episode of SYP, I have a conversation with Jessica Salley Riccardi, PhD, CCC-SLP, about her research in the pediatric TBI population. Jessica is the principal investigator of the BEaR Lab (Brain Injury, Education, and Rehabilitation) and gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the questions they're seeking answers to, how this affects clinical practice, and how it might change policy in the future. She shares insightful info that SLPs can directly apply to their work today as well as considerations for the future work we have yet to do! Jessica has a deep passion and excitement for this population and shares her expertise in a way that is not only easy to understand, but that will also leave you excited to get back to your pediatric patients! In this episode, you'll hear about: -For SLPs, how is childhood brain injury different than adult brain injury? -What are some of the greatest challenges in childhood brain injury for clinicians and researchers? -How Jessica's research is contributing to SLP practice? -How this research might contribute to policy for people with brain injury and the professionals serving them? -Up-and-coming projects in the BEaR lab Get your show notes at https://syppodcast.com/267 The post 267 – Pediatric TBI: Real-life Research – Jessica Salley Riccardi, PhD CCC-SLP appeared first on Swallow Your Pride Podcast.

How many times have you had a dysphagia patient that is at the end of their life and someone suggests a PEG? Maybe they still want to eat, because food makes their life enjoyable, but they don't want to be a DNR? What's the SLP's role in the decision-making process in palliative dysphagia management? And where do we even begin to tackle these issues? My guest this week is answering ALL of these questions and dropping some major inspiration while she's at it! In this episode of SYP, I have a conversation with Mechelle Motsinger, MA, CCC-SLP about her experience in creating The Dysphagia Pathways Program, a decision-making guide for palliative management of dysphagia. She discusses her experience from her literature review to submission for publication and everything in between. Mechelle shares so many real-life situations in this conversation that SLPs will resonate with and find comfort in knowing they're not in this fight alone. Our field will be grateful for the guidance of The Dysphagia Pathways Programs for years and years to come. In this episode, you'll hear about: -What is The Dysphagia Pathways Program? -What is the SLP's role in palliative care? -Does a patient have to be a DNR if they don't want to follow the recommended diet? -How can SLPs have difficult conversations, hold space for their patients, and help their physician colleagues in the same breath?

Are you a medical SLP or a school SLP? What if I told you that you don't have to choose? Sure, many SLPs work in schools and PRN in a medical facility on the weekends or during school breaks... But what about the SLPs who work in the schools and help their PFD kids in the academic setting? My guest this week is sharing how she's paving the way for PFD to be treated in the school setting in her community after seeing a need left unmet! After all, these kids are eating at school and don't get to check their PFD at the door... In this episode of SYP, I have a conversation with Lauren Pontoppidan Straughan, MA, CCC-SLP about pediatric feeding disorders, the weight PFD parents carry, and the many settings in which SLPs can help PFD patients (hint: it's not just for "medical" SLPs!) Lauren is deeply passionate and incredibly knowledgeable about PFD, but what I admire most about her after this conversation is her ability to meet families where they are and consider the entire picture of not just the patient, but their entire family when making recommendations and walking through the PFD journey with them. She's an asset to every family she encounters, her school team, and the entire field of speech-language pathology! In this episode, you'll hear about: -Getting into feeding/dysphagia when your CF was done in a school and the false dichotomy of the "medical SLP" vs "school SLP" -Challenges and benefits of each setting (school, clinic, home health) -Key differences in assessment and treatment of babies versus adults -Valuable courses for pediatric feeding -The role of the SLP for sensory feeding disorders Get the show notes at syppodcast.com/264 The post 264 – Pediatric Feeding in Real Life: From the NICU to the Schools – Lauren Pontoppidan Straughan MA, CCC-SLP appeared first on Swallow Your Pride Podcast.

As SLPs, we often have BIG dreams of how we can improve our field, our facility, and the care our patients receive. All too often, these big dreams are suffocated by red tape and never come to fruition despite SLPs' most valiant efforts. It's certainly an uphill battle, but my guest this week is showing us how to pave our own path to the field of our SLP dreams. In this episode of SYP, I have a conversation with Katie Moore, MS, CCC-SLP, about her monumental achievements in her career, including building not one but two full-time positions in her outpatient rehab facility but also building an entire Head and Neck Cancer Clinic where she works hand-in-hand with her surgeons, radiation oncologists, radiologists, and the entire medical team to provide the best care for cancer patients (including pre-treatment education! *cue the clapping from SLPs everywhere*) Katie is tenacious and determined but she is also laser-focused on providing the highest quality of care to help her patients win.

Your patient is set to discharge at the end of the week, but you know their needs are high and their level of support at home won't be. How do you help ensure they're going to be prepared to go home and not get lost in the shuffle? How can SLPs best care for our patients after they're no longer under our care? My guest this week is sharing the answers to these questions and more! In this episode of SYP, I have a conversation with Alicia Brooms, MS, CCC-SLP, about the weight our recommendations hold and the best ways we can prep our patients for the next steps and the next level of care. Alicia is passionate about considering the patient's big picture, making recommendations that help the patient with more than what's on their plate, and adequately preparing them for the next stage of their recovery and return to their typical lives. She is a champion for interdisciplinary care and partnering with our case management and social work colleagues to ensure no patients are left to figure it all out on their own!

You have a new patient coming in with a diagnosis you've never heard of and you've got a whopping 12 minutes to prep. So, to Google you go! But, how do you know if that blog post or even podcast episode you found is actually credible or unbiased? Anyone can publish anything on a website or say anything on a podcast right? Who is there to regulate that info before you apply it to your practice? (Hint: it's you!) My guest this week is sharing about critical review of resources found online for SLPs on the topic of dysphagia and if you've ever found yourself on the other side of a Google search, you won't want to miss this one!

Dr. Hazelwood shares her experience collaborating with an undergraduate student on a project that became her latest paper, Critical Review of Online Resources, Frequently Used by Certified SLPs for Dysphagia Management. She dives into the findings and shares her passion for studying the training of SLPs and ensuring they set out into the world well-equipped with not only clinical skills but just as importantly, critical thinking skills.

When you think back on your grad school experience, does it stir up happiness and joy or anxiety and stress? Most SLPs will lean towards the latter, but does it have to be that way? It's highly competitive to get into grad school and the competition and quest for perfection doesn't end with an acceptance letter. The pressure felt by grad students is intense and often anxiety-inducing. (Anyone else still have dreams about forgetting to turn in an assignment?) In this episode of SYP, I have a conversation with Sam Walker, MS, CCC-SLP, TSSLD about her experience in working with grad students through her programs, SLP Test Prep, SLP Grad Club, and SLP Grad Guide. Sam shares heartbreaking and triumphant stories of today's grad students and the struggles they face along with her own experience as a student and SLP. She is a fierce advocate for change in the grad school experience and mental health support for our SLP students. We hope to change this culture to a more welcoming environment for our future colleagues. Haven't left a review yet?
