Episode Summary: In this episode of the Work at Home Rockstar Podcast, Tim Melanson chats with Dr. Rob Yonover, founder and CEO of Sea Rescue Corporation, who has worked from home for over 30 years inventing survival gear for military and civilian use. What started as him "screwing around with a piece of plastic" on his patio became the SeeRescueStreamer, a signaling device he says is now military-approved worldwide and has even flown on SpaceX missions. Rob gets candid about what it actually takes to make working from home sustainable: brutal self-discipline, a simple math equation for building a passion project around a day job, and a thick skin built from years of rejection, including five no's on Shark Tank. He walks through the relentless, old-school media hustle that got his product into outlets like the Miami Herald, Outside Magazine, and Playboy, and explains why he still believes trade shows and face-to-face relationships beat digital marketing for building trust. The conversation also covers how a 15-year licensing deal with guaranteed royalties gave him the cash flow to keep inventing, what's exciting him now with a new pocket desalinator project and his published books, and his strong personal views on keeping kids off phones and social media. Who is Dr. Rob Yonover? Dr. Robert Yonover is a Ph.D. geochemist/volcanologist with a history of innovative scientific contributions and technologies that have been awarded U.S. Military/DARPA funding and U.S. Patents. The military-approved/adopted SeeRescueStreamer has saved lives on land and in water. A North Shore big wave surfer and Molokai Channel rough-water fisherman, Dr. Yonover uses the ocean as his laboratory. He's the founder and CEO of Sea Rescue Corporation and has worked from home in Hawaii for over 30 years, describing himself as a third-generation work-at-home entrepreneur following his grandmother, who ran an early medical practice out of her Chicago home, and his father, who built a mail-order business in the 1960s. The SeeRescueStreamer earned Navy approval and has since been adopted across military branches, including the Canadian Air Force. He's also the author of four books, Hardcore Inventing, Caregiver's Survival Guide, Hardcore Health, and Brainstorm Islands, and is currently working on a pocket desalinator that converts saltwater to freshwater.

What happens after the trade show? You collect hundreds of badge scans, business cards, and contacts… take them back to the office… dump them into your CRM… and then start following up a week or two later? If so, you may be losing some of your best opportunities before the follow-up even begins. In this episode of Trade Show University, Jim Cermak talks with Horacio Rilo, founder of BOOP, about one of the most overlooked—and most important—parts of trade show success: fast, effective follow-up. Horacio has talked with hundreds of trade show exhibitors and has seen firsthand how often companies wait weeks to follow up—even after investing hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in their trade show programs. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why the best time to schedule a follow-up meeting may be right at the trade show • Why Horacio believes the decay of buyer intent can happen almost immediately • Why waiting until you get back to the office may already be too late • Why simply scanning badges and dumping contacts into an automated email sequence isn't enough anymore • How your trade show follow-up actually starts BEFORE the show • How pre-show outreach can make your booth conversations warmer and make follow-up easier • Why exhibitors should focus less on selling and more on identifying genuine interest • How to "maintain control" of the follow-up process instead of leaving it up to the attendee • Why qualified meetings and pipeline are better measures of trade show ROI than simply counting leads • How being a better listener can make you more effective on the trade show floor Plus: Horacio explains BOOP BOOP is designed to make booking post-show meetings incredibly simple. An attendee can scan a QR code, send a text, and receive available meeting times—without downloading an app or relying on a complicated process. The system integrates with calendars and meeting platforms including Google Calendar, Outlook, Zoom, and Google Meet. Horacio also shares BOOP's current offer of $500 per event with unlimited scans and meetings, including setup. The Big Takeaway Don't make the attendee responsible for remembering you. You've invested heavily to get them to your booth. When someone shows genuine interest, don't simply hand them a business card and hope they'll follow up. Book the next step while the conversation—and the interest—is still fresh. And remember: your follow-up doesn't start after the show. It starts before the show.

We sat down with Matt Aldrich of Pet Engine Marketing to break down how he built a six-figure niche agency using trade shows and a $2,500 monthly minimum retainer.Cold outreach flopped in his industry, so Matt pivoted to trade shows to build face-to-face trust with local business owners. He eventually turned those connections into paid speaking gigs that positioned him as an authority in the space. Most local clients did not even understand what a real marketing budget was, so educating them became step one.We also covered why he completely ditched organic social media management after realizing it burned out his team and provided zero financial return. Instead of selling bloated service packages, Matt shifted his focus strictly to high-impact strategy, email, and paid ads. Agency growth is rarely linear, and sometimes cutting useless deliverables is the fastest way to fix your margins.-----MENTIONS IN THE EPISODE:Contact Matt:jet@petenginemarketing.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mjaldrich13/Pet Engine Marketing:https://petenginemarketing.com/-----RESOURCES:Want the tools and resources we recommend for agencies?

Welcome to The Turf Zone podcast. This episode features research from North Carolina State University student Brooke Heikkila on machine vision-guided targeted herbicide applications for weed management in turfgrass. In recent years, a variety of new spot spraying technologies have been introduced into agriculture that uses machine vision and artificial intelligence to selectively treat weeds. Targeted spraying opens the door to use nonselective herbicides or novel herbicide admixtures that were previously too expensive or injurious to turfgrass when applied as broadcast treatments. Targeted applications can substantially reduce herbicide use by lowering spray volume and treated acreage, providing both environmental and economic benefits. The first commercial machine vision-guided spot sprayer for turfgrass was recently launched at the 2026 GCSAA Conference and Trade Show; however, limited research has been conducted to quantify its benefits or optimize its use for turfgrass weed management. Brooke Heikkila, an MS student in Godara's Lab at North Carolina State University, is developing practical weed density thresholds and herbicide admixtures to optimize machine vision-guided targeted applications for turfgrass weed management. Brooke received her BS in Environmental Science from the University of Minnesota and recently completed the USGA Greenkeeper Apprenticeship Program. She is passionate about making meaningful contributions to the North Carolina turfgrass industry and is focused on developing innovative, practical solutions for turfgrass managers. Brooke's thesis research project, funded by Turfgrass Council of North Carolina, focuses on investigating different herbicide admixtures to control false-green kyllinga (Kyllinga spp.) in fairways, with the goal of improving weed control efficacy and resistance management strategies through targeted applications. In her recent work, they documented that turfgrass managers can use nonselective herbicides like glyphosate or tank mixtures that involve herbicides from different modes-of-action to control false-green kyllinga with minimal injury risk to desirable turfgrass on fairways. These targeted applications reduced the amount of herbicide volume used and treated area by at least 75% compared to traditional broadcast treatments. Although machine vision-guided sprayers require a substantial upfront investment, the magnitude of herbicide reduction has the potential to generate significant annual cost savings for turfgrass managers just in few years. Future work will focus on understanding how these savings will vary throughout a year-long management plan when combating a diverse spectrum of weed including grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds, using targeted applications. While these cost savings are encouraging, differences between targeted and broadcast spraying may diminish at higher weed densities. To address this concern, Brooke is conducting an additional study to evaluate how herbicide usage from targeted applications varies across different infestation levels of annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) in turfgrass. Even at 30% annual bluegrass cover, which is substantially higher than the typical weed cover observed on managed sites, targeted applications resulted in a 35% reduction in spray volume used compared to broadcast applications. Although many of these experiments are ongoing and require validation across multiple site years, it is exciting to answer these important questions to assist practitioners with the adoption of this new tool and develop application thresholds. These early results are positive indicators of machine vision-guided spot sprayers' ability to reduce herbicide usage, lowering turfgrass managers' annual herbicide budget and decreasing environmental pesticide loads. Brooke's goal is to provide turfgrass managers with the practical evidence they need to see how machine vision-guided spot spraying could impact their budget, flexibility, and long-term turfgrass sustainability.

Most independent retailers think the value of a trade show is measured by the deals they bring home. We disagree. The biggest return on investment isn't the discounts—it's the relationships you build, the ideas that challenge you, and the inspiration that helps your business grow. In this episode, we're kicking off Season 3 from SUPERZOO and sharing why trade shows have become one of the best investments we've made. We talk about making the most of every show, building meaningful industry connections, finding exciting new products, and why getting out of your store might be exactly what your business needs. In this episode: Why trade shows are about more than show specials Building relationships with brands and other retailers Making the most of any show—big or small Budgeting and planning for industry events Working on your business, not just in it If you've been saying, "Maybe next year," consider this your sign to start planning now.

It started as "Candace's Favorite Things" at the Global Pet Expo. A friend said "You need to make this official.” So we did!  Today, Candace officially launches the Pet Boss Trade Show Awards!  This isn't just a fun list. It's a recognition system built by people who actually run pet businesses, for the brands, booths, and reps who deserve to be seen - not because they have the biggest budget, but because they genuinely stood out!  Tune in to hear: 

Your VP asks why events deserve more budget next year. You could defend every line item. Or ask for something else entirely. Matt says fighting for more money is usually the wrong fight. Alignment first, results second, budget third. That reframe is what separates event marketers who get taken seriously from the ones stuck justifying their existence every cycle.Part 2 of our summer Q&A series covers what event marketers actually lose sleep over: booth psychology, credibility with leadership, and which KPIs are real versus which just look good in a slide deck.Still poolside. Still surprisingly tactical.✅ What Matt actually watches on a show floor once the booth design stops holding his attention✅ Why leading metrics tell you the story while you're still in it, lagging metrics only tell you the ending✅ The one detail from post-show debriefs most teams skip: pairing the numbers with what sales actually felt in the roomOh, and the hot dog versus hamburger debate. Some things matter as much as pipeline. ---------------------------------- Connect with Matt Kleinrock  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-kleinrock-9613b22b/     Company: https://rockwayexhibits.com/     

Handbags have evolved from everyday essentials into expressions of personal identity—and that shift is transforming the way retailers buy, merchandise, and discover brands. In this episode, Dorothy Belshaw, CEO and co-owner of NY NOW, shares how the wholesale landscape has changed, why trade shows remain essential in a digital world, and how independent designers can stand out with buyers. From the impact of the 2008 recession to post-pandemic consumer behavior, Dorothy explains why human connection, curated experiences, and genuine product innovation continue to drive retail success.Key Takeaways:• Wholesale is evolving, not disappearing — Trade shows and in-person relationships still drive discovery and lasting retail partnerships.• Handbags have become lifestyle purchases — Today's consumers buy bags as personal expressions, creating new opportunities in the gift and specialty retail markets.• Curation wins attention — Focused concepts and fresh merchandising help independent brands stand out in an increasingly crowded marketplace.

Hello, Voices of the Bench community. This is Casey Baldwin with Ivoclar. If you've been curious about fast-firing zirconia to improve efficiency but aren't convinced it can deliver predictable, high-quality results, I'd encourage you to connect with us. Our new IPS emax Zirconia, offers multiple fast-fire protocols designed to help you save valuable production time while maintaining consistent outcomes. Time is money in every lab. Don't wait. Reach out today and discover how IPS emax Zirconia can help streamline your workflow. As full-arch dentistry continues to grow, so do the demands on today's dental laboratories. That's why Knight Dental recently launched SimplyARCH Studio, a dedicated production environment built exclusively for full-arch restorations. To support this specialized workflow, Knight invested in an XTCERA milling system and carefully evaluated multiple CAM software solutions before choosing hyperDENT. The decision came down to exceptional milling quality, minimal hand finishing, and impressive production efficiency. But what truly set hyperDENT apart was the implementation process. From the very beginning, the team provided more than software training—they shared the knowledge and experience needed to build an optimized workflow for complex full-arch cases. With proven expertise in advanced milling strategies and laboratory production, hyperDENT helped ensure SimplyARCH Studio was designed for long-term success from day one. This week, Elvis and Barb are coming to you from the FDLA Symposium at the GPS Digital RPD booth with two conversations that prove one thing: dental technology never stops evolving. First up, Chris Bradley from SmileLine USA returns to the podcast alongside technician, educator, and lab owner Richard Wodzinski, with Dawn Roniger from GC America joining the discussion. What starts as a conversation about "sexy brushes" quickly turns into a deep dive into one of the most intriguing shade-matching workflows you'll hear about. Richard explains how the OptiShade camera and Matisse software work together to create incredibly accurate shade recipes for everything from monolithic zirconia to layered ceramics and even gingiva. They also discuss the latest Creation Magic Color system, hands-on education, custom shade appointments, and why reducing remakes isn't just good for labs—it's better for doctors and patients too. Add in some FDLA leadership talk and a shared passion for education, and you've got a conversation packed with practical ideas and plenty of laughs. Then Elvis and Barb sit down with Kaveh Shams, Branch Manager for Zirkonzahn Canada, whose journey into digital dentistry spans London, Italy, and Canada. Kaveh shares how his admiration for Enrico Steger and Zirkonzahn eventually led to his dream job, while also offering a fascinating look into the company's history, philosophy, and commitment to education. From the origins of Exocad and custom CAM strategies to modular milling systems, open architecture, and Zirkonzahn's incredible Military School program that trains the next generation of technicians, this conversation is full of insight into what makes one of dentistry's most respected digital companies tick. It's an inspiring story of passion, persistence, and why great technology always starts with great technicians.Special Guests: Chris Bradley, Dawn Roniger ​​​​, Kaveh Shams, and Rich Wodzinski.

In this episode of All Gas Trade Show, Ty (@tydeclare44) and Brandon (@TheBGDashC) talking about the importance of trading with intention. Every roster is in a different spot, and the best deals aren't always the ones that gain the most value—they're the ones that move your team closer to its goals.

In this episode: Defining your team's identity before making trades Contender vs. rebuilder trade priorities Identifying the problem you're actually trying to solve Why "winning" a trade doesn't always improve your roster Common mistakes dynasty managers make before the season Thank you for checking out the Podcast, be sure to follow and comment if you have any questions, we are always happy to answer any.

What's the point of a stunning trade show booth if nobody inside it knows why they're there? Casey Smalley, Director of Global Events at Avetta, joins Matt Kleinrock to make the case that the smartest line in your event budget isn't the build. It's the briefing.In this episode:✅ Why treating booth staffing as a "scheduling exercise" quietly costs you pipeline, not just optics✅ The one trait that separates a floor-ready team member from a liability (it has nothing to do with product knowledge)✅ Inside a secret shopper program that graded booth staff posture with photos and why it workedMost event teams obsess over booth design, tech, and swag, then leave staffing decisions to the final 48 hours, if they think about them at all. Casey brings 20 years in event marketing to explain why that gap is more expensive than most marketers realize. She and Matt swap stories from the floor: a secret shopper program that once graded booth staff on posture, and the beautifully built booth with nobody working it.What surfaces is something every senior marketer already suspects but rarely says out loud. Attendees forget the screens. They remember the humans.Tune in to find out what actually separates a booth that converts from one that just looks good.----------------------------------  Connect with Casey SmalleyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/caseywalkersmalley/ Connect with Matt Kleinrock  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-kleinrock-9613b22b/     Company: https://rockwayexhibits.com/

Too many events still rely on the same booths, the same activations, and the same “safe” playbook. The result: experiences people walk past, forget, or never meaningfully engage with in the first place.  Ashley Nuske, Director of Field & Event Marketing at Goldcast (now Cvent), joins Matt Kleinrock for a candid conversation about what's broken in event marketing today and why safe strategies rarely produce standout results. Ashley shares how she approaches audience-first event design, builds experiences around business outcomes instead of assumptions, and pushes teams beyond repetitive execution. The episode explores everything from creative field event concepts to executive buy-in, experiential trends, and why immersive experiences matter even more in an AI-saturated world. Learn: ✅ What stale event execution actually looks like in today's market✅ How thoughtful personalization creates stronger audience connection and recall✅ Why event marketers need market awareness, not just internal opinions, to innovateTune in for a practical conversation on how modern event marketers can create experiences people actually remember and results leadership can actually measure. ----------------------------------  Connect with Ashley Nuske LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashleynuske-expmarketing/ Connect with Matt Kleinrock  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-kleinrock-9613b22b/    Company: https://rockwayexhibits.com/    

Are you heading into fall events the same way you did last year? Same booth, same playbook, same hope that something sticks?Most event marketers aren't lazy. They're just busy.

The advice is still dead serious.)Here's what you'll walk away with:✅ Why chasing a perfect ROI calculation before you have any measurement at all is the fastest way to measure nothing✅ How a real event theme works and what it has to be rooted in to actually move through your entire execution✅ When to stop order-taking from internal stakeholders and start asking the questions that get to the whyFall is coming faster than most strategies are ready for.

How much of your B2B pipeline is human, and how much is bots and AI masquerading as prospects? In a world where nearly half of internet traffic is artificial and digital engagement data is more synthetic than ever, how can B2B leaders know when they're making real connections and when they're just shouting into the void? In this episode of Predictable B2B Success, we're joined by Anders Boulanger, founder of Engagify and author of Engage First. Anders' story is anything but predictable. From childhood magician to physics graduate to trade show “infotainer” for Microsoft and Siemens, he's mastered the science and art of stopping strangers in their tracks and turning fleeting moments into trust and pipeline. Anders argues that in an era drowning in AI-generated outreach, companies that create genuine, face-to-face human moments will command an unparalleled advantage, one no algorithm or chatbot can replicate. If you're a CEO or marketing leader wondering whether your events budget is a legacy cost or your sharpest competitive weapon, this conversation is for you. You'll come away with a new framework for thinking about real engagement and why the most powerful business signals aren't digital at all. Some topics we explore in this episode include: Authentic Interactions vs. AI Outreach: Contrasting synthetic AI-driven engagement with genuine human connections at eventsTrust in In-Person Events: Why face-to-face interactions are becoming the most trusted B2B marketing channelTrade Show ROI and Measurement: The challenge of measuring ROI and the three-legged stool model for event successBooth Engagement Strategies: The role of engagement tactics and staff training in maximizing trade show outcomesHumanization of B2B Engagement: The enduring value of authentic relationship building amidst digital noiseEvent Metrics and Analytics: New ways to track physical engagement and crowd density at showsEconomic and Geopolitical Challenges: How broader global issues impact event attendance and effectivenessVirtual vs. Physical Events: Lessons from the shift to virtual and why in-person leads to better engagementEngagify's Attract-Connect-Convey Framework: Step-by-step approach to drawing, connecting, and informing booth visitorsScaling Engagement Beyond the Founder: Building and training a team to deliver consistent booth experiences

Guy Adami and Dan Nathan break down a strange Friday tape: a strong jobs report that sent stocks lower as the market prices out rate cuts — and even flirts with hikes. They dig into the Broadcom-led selloff in semis, Anthropic's call to slow down AI development and what it could mean for the CapEx trade, and Bitcoin getting cut in half at ~$60K alongside the unraveling of the crypto treasury-company trade. Then Guy unloads on the SpaceX IPO and Jamie Dimon's endorsement of the deal, asking whether someone just rang the bell at the top. In the second half, Dan sits down with Jim Brooks, CEO of Team Rubicon, on his path from Navy SEAL to the CIA to the C-suite — and what grit, culture, and leadership look like when you're leading a force of 200,000 volunteers. They close on defense tech, drones, and the future of the space economy.

The NFL calendar has hit the deadzone, but dynasty managers are still making moves. The question is: are these trades calculated bets... or unnecessary risks? This week on the All Gas Trade Show, we're diving into real dynasty trades from the DDFFB community to explore what motivates managers to buy, sell, and shuffle assets when news is scarce and uncertainty is high.
