O convidado do JR ENTREVISTA desta terça-feira (2) é o presidente da EBC (Empresa Brasil de Comunicação), Andre Basbaum. Ao jornalista Yuri Achcar, ele fala sobre a missão da comunicação pública no Brasil, os desafios impostos pelas big techs, a necessidade de regulação do ambiente digital, os avanços tecnológicos da TV 3.0 e a conjuntura política no Congresso.Basbaum iniciou a entrevista explicando a missão central da EBC: garantir a todos os brasileiros o direito à comunicação, oferecendo conteúdo que contribua para o desenvolvimento do país e ajude as pessoas a melhorar de vida. Segundo ele, a comunicação pública ocupa um espaço que o setor privado muitas vezes não cobre por falta de interesse econômico, sendo decisiva para a democracia ao assegurar jornalismo profissional, diversidade e pluralidade. Sobre os desafios impostos pelas big techs, o presidente da EBC afirmou que o adversário não são as TVs abertas brasileiras, mas os “grandes conglomerados internacionais”. Segundo ele, as plataformas estrangeiras operam no país sem pagar a mesma carga tributária, sem remunerar a produção jornalística e ainda lucram com desinformação e crimes. Para Basbaum, é urgente proteger o conteúdo nacional e o audiovisual brasileiro, por meio de uma regulação clara e moderna. Ele reforçou que regulação não significa censura, mas sim organização.Basbaum alertou para os riscos da falta de regras, mencionando especialmente problemas ligados à segurança das crianças, como a adultização precoce e a circulação de conteúdos criminosos nas redes. Ele lembrou que veículos tradicionais têm responsabilidade legal e editorial, enquanto as plataformas ainda não contam com mecanismos suficientes para impedir violações graves, como crimes de pornografia.O programa também está disponível na Record News, no R7, nas redes sociais e no RecordPlus.

Trent chats with Twin Cities equipment manager Tanner Knudsen whose team at North Oaks Golf Club moved into a new maintenance facility earlier this year.

This week's episode is a full buffet of sports takes, random debates, and pure foolishness. Felix and Beav start by wishing the Brothers of Omega Psi Phi a happy Founders's Day and thank everyone who came out to celebrate over the rainy weekend. Beav then kicks things off with "Dre's Top 5". Then we slide into Quick Hits, headlined by LeBron officially returning to the Lakers, because of course he is—L.A. property taxes need him. Meanwhile in Inglewood, the Clippers new signing  Bradley Beal is hurt again. Then things take a left turn into food anthropology as the fellas argue "How do you eat a taco?" Thanks to Skattabo, we learn way too much about folding technique, structural integrity, and the philosophy behind biting etiquette. From here, we enter Rule Breakers, and the segment does NOT disappoint: A 50-year-old father and his son suiting up together for Compton CC like it's a Disney+ special nobody asked for. A Michael Jordan impersonator furious he wasn't cast for something, reminding everyone why impersonators usually stay impersonating. Cam Newton pulling up on HBCU leadership 15 dudes packed in one car to go rob somebody—an operation so inefficient even GTA would glitch. And finally, a man who got tackled in the middle of church, proving that the Lord may forgive you, but security will not. It's sports, it's comedy, it's chaos. Another week of takes you didn't ask for, but absolutely needed. Enjoy!

A tumor that seemed to “smile” back in a flashlight's glare set Jamie Day on a year-long path that tested his body, rewired his priorities, and strengthened every bond that mattered. From the first uneasy swallow after a film festival to the bell that marked the end of treatment, we walk through the raw, funny, and fiercely grateful choices that kept him moving: asking for all the blankets, blasting Mongolian thrash during radiation, and letting two devoted service dogs turn sterile rooms into safe places.HPV-positive squamous cell throat cancer came with good odds and brutal treatment, seven weeks of radiation and chemo that burned, thinned his beard, and made food a battle. Jamie made a decision early: he wouldn't “sad sack” the process. He made the clinic a stage for levity, and the staff met him there. Techs leaned in for the day's soundtrack. Nurses became guides. A nurse advocate unraveled insurance knots at midnight. Front desk faces remembered his name, his jokes, and his dogs. Along the way, he forged symbols to fight by: art of himself on horseback charging the “meatball with tentacles,” a homemade “war hammer,” and the image of two opponents calmly sipping poison until one quits.The through line is simple and strong: choose who you'll be when life breaks, let people help, laugh when you can, and ring the bell for everyone still in the fight.

Are your technicians leaving for $2 more an hour—or is there a deeper reason? In SDR #327, Chris & Christian break down why tech retention has less to do with pay plans and everything to do with leadership, systems, and culture. Most dealerships ask the wrong question: “Am I paying my techs enough?” The real question is, “Have I built an environment where great techs want to stay?” In this episode, you'll discover: - Why weak Service Advisors are the #1 reason techs quit - How broken systems (lost keys, bad dispatch, weak processes) drive top performers out - The role Parts Departments play in technician retention - Why training and mentorship are non-negotiable for long-term success - How shop culture impacts CSI, retention, and customer-pay hours - Leadership lessons that prove: he or she who has the most techs, wins If you're a Service Manager or Fixed Ops leader worried about turnover, flat ROs, and frustrated technicians, this episode is your blueprint for fixing the real problem—not just raising pay.

Every service technician can fix things...but not every tech is a true problem solver. In this episode of Windshield Time, Chris Elmore and Jesse Olson break down what problem solving really means in the trades. It's not just diagnosing and repairing — it's about translation, communication, and trust. Too many techs either exaggerate the danger or minimize the value of their work. Both erode trust. Customers don't just want something fixed — they want to understand the problem, the risks, the options, and why your solution is worth it. Chris and Jesse explain why translation (not just explanation) is the technician's most overlooked skill, how to use analogies without cheapening your value, and why presenting clear options helps customers make the right decision without pressure or manipulation. If you're in HVAC, plumbing, or electrical, this episode will sharpen your communication skills and show you how to go from just fixing problems to building customer confidence for life. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why technical excellence is the foundation of problem-solving How to set expectations and build trust with customers The dangers of exaggerating or minimizing repairs Why translation—not just explanation—is the real technician's edge How to use analogies wisely (and avoid ones that kill trust) Why presenting clear options helps customers choose with confidence How permanent solutions rely on both skill and communication

What separates an average technician from one customers love and leaders promote? It's not just technical skill — it's the discipline and soft skills that build trust. In this episode of Windshield Time, Chris Elmore sits down with Jesse Olson and David Grennel. David shares his personal transformation — losing 70 pounds, reshaping his habits, and sharpening his communication — and how that discipline turned him into a stronger technician and leader. Jesse and Chris highlight why appearance, preparation, and confidence shape customer trust, and how great technicians go beyond fixing problems to become true client delighters, problem solvers, and revenue producers. If you're in HVAC, plumbing, or electrical — or you're a manager training the next generation of techs — this episode shows why discipline and soft skills are the difference between being just a “fixer” and becoming unforgettable. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why discipline is the foundation of technician success How appearance and preparation impact customer trust Why customers buy confidence as much as technical skill The Technician Triangle: client delighter, solver, producer How personal growth creates professional opportunities

Every service technician learns the trade, but not every tech becomes great. Why? Because technical skills alone won't cut it. In this episode of Windshield Time, Chris Elmore and Jesse Olson (owner of The Happy Outlet) break down the 3 roles that separate great technicians from average ones: Client Delighter: Customers remember the experience more than the repair. Problem Solver: Clear communication and long-term solutions matter as much as technical fixes. Revenue Producer: Stewardship, efficiency, and profitability fuel growth for both the company and the tech. You'll also learn why practice and preparation matter as much in the trades as they do in pro sports or medicine — and how techs can apply discipline to build lasting careers. If you're in HVAC, plumbing, or electrical and want to move from “good” to “great,” this episode gives you the roadmap.
