Ready to make 2026 the year your route runs smoother, faster, and with less strain? We're sharing the exact tools that pay you back in minutes saved and backs spared, plus how to pick the right version for your truck, your clients, and your local conditions.We start with the true workhorse: your pole. Carbon fiber has become the smartest upgrade for daily service thanks to its lighter weight, stiffness, and durability. You'll hear how Primate's vertical lever locks and 3-piece reach let you cover most pools from one side while fitting comfortably in short beds. Then we break down the vacuum landscape. Riptide and Hammerhead remain the heavy hitters with reliable carts and power, but cordless heads like the Bottom Feeder and Shrimp now level up with a cartridge filter assembly that captures dirt down to fine microns while still gobbling leaves. If you want less setup and more clean, this change is a big win.Next, we get practical about skimming and testing. The Piranha 2 quick-flip leaf rake edges out the Red Baron for its balanced lip and easy dumps that save precious seconds on every basket-empty day. For water chemistry, the LaMotte ColorQ 2X Pro 9 delivers photometer accuracy without Spin Touch pricing, and crucially adds copper and iron testing to diagnose staining and metals from fill water. We also cover a field favorite: the Multi-Torque socket set that turns stubborn filter lids into a quick drill job and keeps knuckles intact, plus the glove setup that protects hands year-round—light nitrile-coated pairs for daily work and long-cuff Atlas 772s for cold mornings.• Carbon fiber poles with fast vertical locks and smart sizing• Cart vacs vs cordless heads for debris and dirt pickup• Bottom Feeder and Shrimp with cartridge filter assembly• Leaf rakes compared: Piranha 2 quick-flip vs Red Baron• Photometry: ColorQ 2X Pro 9 vs Spin Touch use cases• Multi-Torque sockets for faster, safer filter service• Hand protection: nitrile-coated gloves and cold-weather picks• Discounts and part numbers to make buSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

LDS Mission Podcast Episode 242: How to Know If You're Making Progress is all about answering a question I hear all the time from missionaries, returned missionaries, and missionary moms: How do I know if the internal work I'm doing is actually working? When growth is emotional, mental, and spiritual—like confidence, anxiety, fear, perfectionism, or self-trust—it can feel invisible. In this episode, I talk about why progress isn't about making fear or insecurity disappear, but about changing your relationship with it. I share a powerful reframe that applies on the mission, after the mission, and throughout life: progress is not the absence of fear—it's how you respond when fear shows up. I walk you through four clear indicators of internal progress, including having less self-judgment and more compassion, increased willingness to feel emotions, faster emotional recovery time, and the ability to interrupt old mental patterns before they spiral. These tools help you measure real growth when goals aren't easily trackable. If you've ever felt stuck, discouraged, or worried that you "should be further along by now," LDS Mission Podcast Episode 242: How to Know If You're Making Progress will help you recognize the meaningful internal shifts you may be overlooking and trust the work you're doing—even when growth feels slow or unseen. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did.

Around Black Friday last year, I started getting strange emails from people asking me to cancel their subscription. Only, they weren't from Haven members, and they were talking about a weekly charge of $7. After a brief panic and some investigation, I confirmed this was not possible. I assumed these messages were bots phishing for something. Then my attention was caught by one that said, “Hi, I’ve just been charged for the Haven Bible app, but I cancelled my subscription through the app prior to the charging date.” Ahh. It must be a case of mistaken identity. Mystery solved! Well, half of it at least… https://youtu.be/mP6rxVuBmRo …But Why Were People Emailing Me? A quick search for “cancel Haven Bible App subscription” showed a knowledge base page on my website as the top result. I added a message to inform people that this was not the site they were looking for. Still today, I'm getting messages from people who scroll past it and tell me to refund them. I even received a second email accusing me of stealing their money because I refused to help them cancel their subscription. I had already replied to their first email, pointing them elsewhere. Bizarre! It has been a slightly sobering experience, pointing to how unobservant people can be at times. The Auto-Responder I created a short auto-responder to reply to these messages. I asked them to drop a quick reply when they work out how to cancel it so I could pass that information along to others in the same boat. Only one of about 60 people who emailed me bothered to follow up. A special shout-out to Lauren for taking the time to do that. I've been able to point people in a more helpful direction as a result. In reality, I don't know if it's genuinely difficult to cancel this subscription. What Is This Haven Bible App? After my search, the algorithms started delivering short videos of people promoting the Haven Bible App. It's been heavily marketed by influencers. I became curious and began to notice overlaps with certain self-help industry mechanics we've been unpacking here in recent months. The app is an AI chatbot that answers user questions and prompts with responses from biblical texts. It's marketed as a way to get simplified explanations, moral guidance, help with reading the Bible, and a sense of connection with a wise guide. Tools, Guidance, and Quiet Influence It's worth considering the issues surrounding the use, trust, and reliance on this kind of technology as a source of information and guidance. Despite being presented as objective, a chatbot never is. By nature, it always contains biases. It's programmed and personalised. Over time, it can shape our beliefs, values, and worldview based on the personal information we give it. There's nothing necessarily inherently wrong with that, but it's easy to imagine how this could be abused, with the user not noticing that their critical thinking is gradually replaced by conformity to a narrow, dogmatic framework. There's also the issue of AI sycophancy. This is often described as a deliberate feature designed to hook users, creating a sense of affinity with the technology as if it were a feeling, thinking being. This entered public discussion in 2025 when researchers and mental health professionals raised concerns about what they described as “AI-related psychosis.” One widely reported case involved a man called Allan Brooks, who became misled into believing he had discovered a world-changing mathematical formula after hundreds of hours interacting with ChatGPT. These systems are designed to shift from instruments to relationships through encouragement and affirmation. They tend to praise and validate user input, reinforce existing beliefs, and create a sense of safety in the interaction. They don't require you to articulate feelings or needs clearly, and they reduce the need to negotiate meaning with others. First- and second-person language further reinforces the illusion of connection. Recognising Unhealthy Dependency on an App A useful question here is whether a tool helps us grow beyond it or cultivates dependency. When dependency forms, creators can charge whatever they like for continued access. And will likely extract other information, such as personal data. Habit formation is central to platforms like this. The perception of a companion you can ask anything of creates reliance not just for knowledge, but for reassurance and connection. Features like reminders and streak maintenance mirror the same techniques used by apps like Duolingo. Not to keep people learning, but to keep them opening the app. The important distinction is whether a tool helps us develop skills and understanding we can take with us, or whether it locks value inside its own ecosystem. With Duolingo, it became clear over time that keeping people engaged mattered more than helping them learn a language. When leaving feels costly, users become vulnerable to price increases and further extraction of their personal data and other private information, which can be used to sell additional layers of dependence in response to newly identified desires and needs. Why This Matters to Me I was in two minds about writing this experience. But something about it got under my skin, and it's not just about the emails, the confusion, or being asked to cancel something I have nothing to do with. It's seeing another example of wider cultural patterns we keep circling. Patterns that keep us doubting ourselves, disconnecting from one another, and valuing manufactured certainty over lived complexity. I understand the appeal of tools like this. I also understand the value they can bring to people. But it's important to zoom out and notice what gets lost when we trade depth for convenience and speed. Often, that trade sabotages the very thing we're seeking, trapping us in a cycle of chasing the next tool that promises meaning through hacks and shortcuts, while quietly pulling us further away from the sites of meaning we encounter in the messy beauty of real human connection, uncertainty, and mystery.

Ben Felix and Braden Warwick are joined by Dr. Charles Chaffin, a leading voice in financial psychology, to explore why investors so often act against their own best interests—and how better tools and frameworks can help bridge the gap between rational plans and real human behavior. The conversation blends behavioral finance, goal setting, and risk profiling, while also introducing a new evidence-based risk tolerance questionnaire now being made publicly available to listeners. The episode digs into why humans are wired for short-term survival rather than long-term optimization, how biases and environment shape financial decisions, and why coaching—not transactions—is becoming the advisor's most important role. Charles explains concepts like money scripts, financial flashpoints, identity-based goals, and financial self-efficacy, tying them directly to investing behavior and client outcomes. The discussion also goes deep on financial risk tolerance: what it really is, why people consistently misjudge it, and why psychometric tools outperform traditional questionnaires.

In Episode 358 of The Canine Paradigm, we talk about tool bans and the wider pattern behind them. Across Australia and elsewhere, governments appear willing to trade away rights and privileges without proper consent, expert input, or ethical process. We unpack why this worries dog owners, trainers, and working-dog handlers, and why many feel angry and disappointed with leadership that seems to act first and consult later.We discuss what “consultation” should mean, how evidence should be weighed, and how tool removal can harm outcomes for dogs when nuance is ignored. Then we outline practical, professional actions for anyone who wants to contribute constructively: read drafts, ask for the data set, submit calm feedback, contact your local member, support credible peak bodies, and challenge bad arguments without personal attacks.

Send us a textAI is everywhere. Subscriptions are everywhere. And somehow, everyone feels more tired than helped. In this episode of the Mike & Blaine Podcast, we dig into the very real rise of AI fatigue and subscription fatigue—and why tools that promise speed and leverage often end up doing the opposite. Businesses keep layering on AI features, dashboards, and monthly tools, assuming more capability automatically means more value. Spoiler: it doesn't.We unpack how companies unintentionally train customers to cancel by over-selling potential and under-delivering practical outcomes. When software value lives in theory instead of day-to-day use, it's always the first line item to get cut. We talk about why underused tools feel expensive no matter the price, how AI has become a checkbox instead of a strategy, and why “just add AI” is not a business model.This conversation goes beyond tech trends and into real business strategy. If you're building products, pricing subscriptions, or running a company that relies on recurring revenue, this episode breaks down what real value actually feels like to customers—and how clarity, simplicity, and outcomes beat novelty every time. We also connect the dots between tool overload, decision fatigue, and why leadership teams are quietly overwhelmed even while spending more than ever on software.If you've ever looked at your stack and thought, “We should be getting way more out of this,” or wondered why customers churn even when your product is objectively powerful, this episode will hit uncomfortably close to home.Grab a drink, listen in, and if you enjoy the conversation, help keep the podcast going—visit https://mikeandblaine.com to buy us a beer

In this episode, Gary is joined by Niyi Adewole, a former Fortune 500 Director of Strategic Accounts who made the leap from corporate leadership into full-time real estate entrepreneurship. Today, Niyi dedicates his work to helping both new and experienced investors achieve financial freedom through strategic real estate investing. He currently manages a portfolio of 25+ long-term rental units and 10 short-term rentals, and brings real-world experience on how to scale intelligently while balancing risk, cash flow, and long-term growth. Niyi shares insights from his own journey—what it took to walk away from corporate life, how he built and scaled his portfolio, and the key lessons he's learned along the way. His practical approach to investing, combined with a big-picture focus on financial independence, makes this conversation especially valuable for investors at any stage.

Pamela Garfield-Jaeger is a clinical social worker who may be little known to many of us, but with this interview, she earns a place of leadership in the health freedom movement for her work. She opposes the highly abusive transgender ideology, which takes advantage of confused young people, alienating them from traditional values and their families, and subjecting them to life-changing drugs and mutilating surgeries. She has the ultimate medal of honor in our group for having lost her job over refusing to take or to promote the COVID vaccines in 2021. She is an extraordinarily positive warrior who thrives on doing what is right and serves as a role model for all of us. We have a fascinating conversation about how we both have moved toward emphasizing the family in our clinical practices of psychotherapy, as well as promoting spiritual values that strengthen individuals and families in dealing with this too often cruel world. You will find Pamela highly informative and very encouraging in her attitude toward professional work and in her solid attitudes on how to improve the mental health field. She is a very good writer and author of three books: A Practical Response to Gender Distress: Tips and Tools for Families- 2024 Parents' Guide to Mental Health Froggy Girl. In her children's book, Froggy Girl, a young girl struggles with frustration because she thinks she's a frog, and everyone around her supports this self-destructive fallacy until she meets a wise old turtle who helps her appreciate herself as a wonderful little girl. Amazon describes A Practical Response to Gender Distress as follows: Transgender issues have become ubiquitous in schools, entertainment, medicine, etc., and many do not know how to approach this sensitive issue. Because of the dominance of a one-sided approach, parents are ill-equipped to discuss this topic with their children or to advocate effectively for their well-being. In this book, you will learn: The dark side of puberty blockers, hormones, and surgery clinics don't want you to hear. How the internet has tremendous influence on young people. Why a child could choose to be transgender. How therapists are trained to emotionally blackmail parents. Practical tips: How to talk to a teen who suddenly believes they are transgender. How to help your child say no to the pronoun game. How to find a therapist who will work with your child as a whole person. This book is written with knowledge and compassion by a California-state licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience. Pamela Garfield-Jaeger's work can be found on a Substack column under the name Pamthetruthfultherapist. Her X account is @truththerapist.

Why Soft Skills Outlast Technical Skills on Product Teams - Mike CohnAnyone who has worked in product development for more than a few years has seen the same pattern repeat itself.The technical skills that once felt essential gradually—or sometimes suddenly—become obsolete. Tools change. Frameworks fall out of favor. Architectures that once seemed modern start to look dated.This isn't new, but it is accelerating.The half-life of technical skills keeps shrinking, especially in technology. In the 1980s, it took ten years for half of what you knew to become outdated. Today, it is four years, and will soon fall below two years according to a Stanford professor. This raises an important question for leaders:Where does investment in people have the greatest long-term impact?Technical skills are necessary, of course. But they are rarely durable.Soft skills behave very differently.When someone learns how to collaborate well, make good decisions, facilitate discussions, or lead others, those skills don't decay at the same rate. Instead, they tend to compound. They become part of how that person works.Learning how to learn is a good example. Once someone develops that capability, it stays with them. The same is true for decision-making, leadership, and collaboration. These are skills that can continue to improve over time—but they don't become irrelevant.I once saw just how important this was during a demo to a group of nurses.A programmer demonstrated new functionality and showed text on the screen that suggested giving Saltine crackers to a newborn—clearly clinically inappropriate.He tried to explain that it was just placeholder text. The real point, he said, was the workflow, not the words.But to the nurses, the words mattered a great deal.Their professional identity is grounded in “do no harm.” What they saw on the screen violated that principle. They were ready to escalate the issue and cancel the project.What saved the project wasn't a technical fix.It was the project manager's soft skills.He calmed the situation, acknowledged the nurses' concerns, explained what had happened, and persuaded them to come back a week later for a revised demo.The failure wasn't technical—it was a failure of empathy.Product development is full of uncertainty. We work with evolving requirements, incomplete information, and users whose trust we must earn and keep.Soft skills reduce risk in these environments.Empathy helps teams understand users. Clear communication builds trust. Collaboration prevents small misunderstandings from becoming major setbacks.And when these skills improve, the benefit isn't limited to one person.If someone learns a new technical skill, that benefit often stays with them. But when someone learns to collaborate better, the entire team benefits. Everyone gets better.This is one reason leaders often underestimate the return on investing in soft skills.The payoff isn't always immediate or easy to measure. It tends to show up most clearly under pressure—when teams need to have hard conversations, discuss options honestly, and make good decisions quickly.That's also when the absence of soft skills is most costly.Some leaders think these skills can wait until things slow down. In reality, pressure is when they matter most.Teams with strong soft skills can disagree productively, make tradeoffs together, and move forward with confidence—because trust was built earlier.Everyone on a product development team benefits from strong soft skills, but some roles depend on them especially heavily.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] ⁠https://www.agiledad.com/⁠- [instagram] ⁠https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/⁠- [facebook] ⁠https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/⁠- [Linkedin] ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

Send us a textHiring a contractor shouldn't feel like a risky gamble—especially when you're spending association funds and hoping for a great result for your repair or renovation project. On this week's episode of Take It To The Board, host Donna DiMaggio Berger talks to Cinthya Lavin, VP of Communications and Community Engagement at the Better Business Bureau, to uncover practical and attainable ways Condominium, Cooperative and HOA boards can hire smarter, avoid scams, and build a reliable vendor bench without slowing projects to a crawl.  Cinthya breaks down how BBB's e-quote tool helps boards get three accredited bids—often within a day—so you can meet competitive bidding requirements and keep momentum on key repairs and capital projects.  Donna and Cinthya dig into what “accredited” really means, how BBB verifies licenses and insurance, and how the ratings algorithm weighs responsiveness, scale, complaint patterns, and government actions. You'll learn why a vendor's willingness to answer complaints often predicts how they'll handle issues on your job, and why communication should be a top selection criterion alongside price and scope.  They also explore the evolving threat landscape. BBB's Scam Tracker offers a community-wide alert system for fraud attempts, and Cinthya shares simple safeguards for boards. This episode also includes a comparison of BBB with platforms like Yelp; discusses AI's role in business education and reviews, and highlights programs such as the Torch Awards which celebrate companies with strong character, culture, customer care, and community impact.  If you want to make faster, safer hiring decisions and elevate trust in your community, this conversation delivers the playbook.Conversation Highlights:  Why a 100+-year-old organization is still relevant in today's fast-moving business landscapeHow the BBB evaluates businesses and what really separates an A+ rating from a lower gradeHow boards and managers can use the BBB to vet contractors and comply with competitive bidding requirementsHow to identify complaint trends and spot vendors with recurring unresolved issues.Listed vs. accredited: The key differences between businesses that appear on the BBB and those that earn accreditation.Warning signs on a BBB profile, from licensing issues to unresolved disputes and suspicious business details.How the BBB can help confirm insurance, licensing, and other critical qualifications.What the BBB is seeing in post-storm reconstruction—and the rise of scams and fraudulent contractors.One simple step boards can take today to reduce vendor risk and protect their communitiesRelated Links:Podcast: Why Every Contract Needs to Be Reviewed with Becker's James Robert CavesResource: Consumer Resources from The Better Business BureauArticle: Am I Protected?

What if “I deserve a drink” is just an old script you can rewrite? In today's episode, Coach Cole helps Matt notice how removing alcohol lowered his baseline stress at a new job—turning frantic mornings into steady ones and replacing dread with data. Coach Zoe supports Constance, a second-grade teacher whose activated nervous system kept her in fight-or-flight; together they connect the dots from childhood patterns to present-day overwhelm and practice coming back to the body for safety.

Summary In this episode, Ali Damron discusses the challenges many face in their healing journeys, particularly when they feel they are doing everything right but still not seeing results. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the mind-body connection, the dangers of over-optimization, and how tracking health metrics can lead to hypervigilance. Ali encourages listeners to trust their bodies and find balance in their health practices, while also addressing the role of uncertainty in healing. Takeaways Many patients do more than they need to for healing. The brain's perception of danger affects bodily functions. Over-optimization can lead to increased stress and symptoms. Tracking health metrics can shift from helpful to harmful. Hypervigilance can create a cycle of anxiety and symptoms. The body is capable of healing without constant intervention. Trusting your body is crucial for effective healing. Uncertainty is a natural part of the healing process. Less monitoring can lead to better health outcomes. Healing requires a nuanced approach, not a one-size-fits-all solution Sound bites "Our mind and body are not separate." "The body can heal from crazy things." "Data is not the enemy."

Nobody talks about their diversified asset allocation at a dinner party, but they do talk about the tax strategy their advisor helped them implement to save thousands. In this episode, host Wes Young and co-host Justin Lakin dive deep into why most advisors are missing the boat on one of the biggest opportunities in holistic planning: proactive tax intelligence. You'll hear why tax strategy often falls in the “too hard” pile, how to shift from avoidance to opportunity, and what tools and frameworks you can use to bring immediate value to clients, without crossing compliance lines or becoming a CPA. Wes also shares a powerful mindset shift: when you start seeing the tax code as a playbook instead of a problem, you unlock a new level of client transformation and professional referability. What to expect from their conversation: Why most advisors avoid tax planning (and how to stand out if you don't) Tools like Holistiplan, narratives checklists, and Q4 strategy sessions Tips for integrating CPAs and navigating pushback with confidence Practical tax concepts to build referability and efficiency Resources: Submit your podcast question here!

As AI spits out confident-sounding information, students' ability to evaluate information and exercise sound judgment matters more than ever. In this episode of The Balance, I explore why evaluation and judgment are foundational skills for responsible AI use and student-led learning. I unpack what it really means for students to stay in control of their thinking before and after they use AI. I'll share how teachers can cultivate these skills across grade bands, from early meaning-making to disciplined judgment in high school, along with practical ways teachers can help students confirm accuracy, identify bias, and make intentional decisions. This conversation is part of my Skills Before Tools series and connects evaluation and judgment to agency, accountability, and helping students use AI as a support for learning rather than a replacement for thinking.
