Andy grew up in Twin Falls, Idaho, surrounded by things that didn't quite make sense. As she got older, she began to unravel the truth: her parents were more than casually involved in the occult. She stumbled upon strange rituals and the clues were endless. But the real puzzling pieces began to come years later—when she started piecing together clues that suggested this wasn't just about her parents. It was something deeper, something tied to her very bloodline. What if some inheritances aren't just material, but spiritual? What if the things that haunted her childhood were just the beginning? blurrycreatures.com/members Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Students in Snake River High School teacher Mimi Argyle's Agriculture 104 course witnessed the real-world applications of lessons they're learning in class.
Graduating with a Bachelors Degree in Psychology from the University of Nebraska in 2002, Chuma began his “jump” into BASE with a solid skydiving career beginning at the age of 16 in Caldwell, Idaho. In 2007, after completing over 700 skydives, Chuma made the move to Twin Falls, ID where he now runs a very successful BASE Jumping School – Inter-Demented BASE. Chuma's impressive athletic background in gymnastics, skiing, and pole-vaulting has provided him with the necessary skill set and physical fitness to successfully perform complicated aerial maneuvers in BASE Jumping. He has become well known for his originality and style within this arena and is responsible for several world recognized BASE Jumping tricks, as well as pioneering many unpacked jumps and refining the “game over”. Chuma is responsible for making the “tweener,” named by Chuma, famous amongst jumpers by successfully performing this trick off multiple BASE exits. Chuma's background in gymnastics gives him a unique kinesthetic awareness that sets him apart from other BASE jumpers, when it comes to tricks, solid exits and landings. In 2009, Chuma and his former business partners developed the world's first commercial Tandem Base Jumping operation. During the experimental phase, Chuma personally performed many test jumps with experienced BASE jumpers acting as passengers. Since 2009, he has completed over 500 tandem BASE jumps without incident, and currently holds the record for the most tandem BASE jumps completed. Recently, he has completed a tandem jump off all four objects in the word BASE. It is believed that he is the first and only person in the world to have done this. His company, Tandem BASE LLC, has performed tandem BASE jumps at bridge day in Fayetteville, West Virginia for the past 4 years. Chuma was the first person in the world to complete a tandem BASE jump from the Menara KL Tower, and the Wisma Sanyan in Malaysia, 2013. In 2014, Chuma became the first person to perform a tandem BASE jump in Zakynthos, Greece at Shipwreck beach, and later that year in Arco, Italy at Monte' Brento. Later in 2014, Chuma finished in the top 16 at the Red Bull Aces Wingsuit race, an event where the world's best wingsuit athletes completed in a slalom course held in place by helicopters. In 2015, Chuma performed the first quadriplegic tandem BASE jump with passenger Pete Bonser. The following year, Chuma took the first person with cerebral palsy, Marlena Katene, on a jump from the KL tower in Malaysia. One of his favorite achievements includes taking 102 year old Dorothy Cluster on a tandem BASE jump from the Perrine Bridge in June 2013. Being able to travel the world, meeting like-minded people, and BASE jumping in incredible places is Chuma's biggest joy. Currently, Chuma is moving towards a career in television and film, and has made several television appearances in the past 4 years including: the Travel Channel's Ride-iculous, Trip Flip, and MSNBC's Caught on Camera. He is currently working with producers and colleagues on a documentary that highlights the type of lifestyle he enjoys – being a professional “fun maker”. Despite this very impressive professional history, Sean remains grounded and humble regarding his achievements and always stresses the importance of planning, experience and guidance in all areas of BASE jumping.

B.K. Browne, CEO and Founder of SpeakSport, introduces the cutting-edge technology on the Club + Resort Talks podcast. With this innovative A.I. technology, clubs can free up hours of time every day from answering the phone for tee time bookings and miscellaneous questions—allowing them to drive revenue, and divert valuable human resources elsewhere, such as providing personalized service to guests/members on-site. Also on this podcast: Canyon Springs Golf Course, nestled along the Snake River in Twin Falls, Idaho, is on the market, with an $18.5 million price tag. The expansive listing includes direct access to the Snake River, Centennial Park, and views of the impressive Perrine Coulee waterfall, along with amenities like a geothermal artesian well, a full-service bar, restaurant, and pro shop overlooking the Snake River and Perrine Bridge. Water rights, springs, and Idaho's highly coveted liquor license add to the property's appeal, making it an attractive recreational destination in Idaho's scenic heart. Baltimore County, Md. has announced a substantial $6.5 million investment to overhaul the Rocky Point Golf Course clubhouse, marking a significant shift from the usual self-funding approach managed by the Baltimore County Revenue Authority. County Executive Johnny Olszewski, Jr. introduced the initiative, which will transform the decades-old clubhouse with a “grill room,” updated kitchen, patio seating, a pro shop, and expanded banquet space. The project is a complete renovation, a move Olszewski says aligns with the county's broader recreational investment priorities. Lastly, the 41st annual Play Golf Myrtle Beach World Amateur Championship continues to be one of the Grand Strand's most significant events, driving economic impact and exposure for “The Golf Capital of the World.” Based on Destinations International (DI) calculations, the standard for measuring the effect events have on communities, the World Amateur Championship generated a total economic impact of $17.1 million for the local economy, with $11.1 million in direct impact and $6 million in non-direct and induced spending

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia. Today is Saturday, Sept. 14, 2024. Rumor has it a monster stalks the woods near Twin Falls Resort; gather 'round the campfire to hear about the mysterious creature…Explore the culture and culinary delights of Appalachia with Taste WV…and check out the wide variety of philanthropic organizations striving to make a difference in WV communities…on today's daily304. #1 – From WV EXPLORER – While reports of the Polk Hollow Monster haven't reached the frequency they had in the 1970s and ‘80s, there's no doubt in the minds of a few locals that something haunts the vicinity of the hollow in Twin Falls Resort State Park. State officials even developed a hiking trail, the Poke Hollow Trail, that recalls an encounter with the beast in the 1970s. The story was popularized by folklorist and West Virginia Senator David “Bugs” Stover, who often recounts it on summer evenings at the park campground. The legend dates back to 1942, when 19-year-old Big Jim McMoore was target shooting in the hollow near Polk Gap. That's when he spotted a hairy monster with glowing red eyes, perched high in the trees. The creature, nearly 12 feet tall, jumped down and chased Big Jim through the trees to the edge of the woods, where he sought safety inside his cabin. So if you're hiking in the woods near Twin Falls and hear a crashing through the trees, keep an eye out for the monster!

In this episode of "Sleepless in Singapore," I recount an adventurous road trip along the West Coast of the United States with my friend Markus. Landing in Las Vegas, I am immediately struck by the ubiquitous gambling machines at the airport. Markus and I reunite at the Luxor Hotel, and after a brief delay due to my flight, we embark on our journey in a less-than-ideal Dodge Challenger. Our first stop is a hearty breakfast at The Egg and I, followed by a visit to the impressive Hoover Dam, capturing the essence of American engineering and natural beauty. Our travels then take us through the picturesque landscapes of Arizona, where we marvel at the Horseshoe Bend and explore the Navajo Arts and Crafts at the Cameron Trading Post. The vast red rock formations of Monument Valley leave a lasting impression, and we savor the tranquility of our remote Airbnb stays. As we journey through Utah, the green scenery of Monticello and the unique rock formations captivate us. In Salt Lake City, we are pleasantly surprised by the vibrant, inclusive atmosphere, visiting charming bookshops and enjoying local delicacies. The Bonneville Salt Flats and the quirky Shoshone Falls in Idaho add a sense of wonder to our trip, culminating in a memorable dining experience in Nampa.
Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia. Today is Saturday, Aug. 10, 2024. Marshall's film degree program creates opportunities for a Fairmont resident as the city pitches in on her capstone project…Cool off at the new splash pad at Twin Falls Resort…and Barnwood Living offers chic tiny cabins for rent in Almost Heaven…on today's daily304. #1 – From TIMES WV – Firefighters from the Fairmont Fire Department waited for their cue outside the Marion County Courthouse. On Trinity Rollins' orders, they unleashed a jet of water into the air and the droplets splashed down on students from Shawna Santee's 5th Street Center for Dance. Rollins, 21, used the power of movie magic to recreate one of her younger experiences in Fairmont. Her professor told students to write what they know. So Rollins wrote about one memorable performance from 2021 when her dance class performed in the rain after a city parade was canceled. The short film, “It's Only a Parade,” was part of Rollins' capstone project at Marshall University in which she had to pitch, plan and script a film project. Rollins put her production together at the same time more opportunities for video and film production are beginning to pop up in West Virginia. Tax incentives for film production have returned at the state level. At the same time, Marshall launched the state's first bachelor's degree program in filmmaking in the fall.

The Lily Pad Splash Park has several water features including a dump cylinder that drops hundreds of gallons of water every five minutes, water blasters, water cannons, sprinklers, splashing frogs, and an aqua table. Splash park users can also enjoy a lounge area and a small refreshment and retail area that sells a variety of frozen treats, drinks, snacks, logo apparel and beach towels. The splash pad was part of a $4 million bond project that included rebuilding the Twin Falls Resort Pro Shop, which opened in the spring of 2023. Additional ongoing projects at Twin Falls include adding a climbing wall and relocating the parks' nature center. The Falls Trail is also receiving a boardwalk and trail enhancements.

Bowe is the host of the hit TV show “Barnwood Builders,” where he and his crew preserve and repurpose historic log homes. His latest project is the perfect combination of old materials used in a new style–log cabin tiny homes. “We get at least 500 people from out of state that come to the store every month,” Bowe says. Now those visitors can stay in a cabin Bowe and the builders constructed just for them. Over the last year and a half, he and the crew have been hard at work building tiny cabins behind their store. The Spa City Cottage and the Big Draft Timberframe are available for rent via Airbnb. And the Dry Creek Cabin will be ready for visitors this fall. The cabins are equipped with modern amenities and make a great place to stay for visitors exploring the Greenbrier Valley. Check out wvtourism.com to learn more about the region.

And check out some “must-see” blooms and waterfalls this spring in Almost Heaven…on today's daily304. #1 – From WOWK-TV – The inspiring story found within “October Sky,” based on the book by West Virginia's Homer Hickam and set in the Mountain State, inspired Amazon founder Jeff Bezos to create the aerospace company, Blue Origin. In 2000, Amazon founder Bezos founded a new company: Blue Origin. The company is most well-known nowadays for taking celebrities up into space, including “Star Trek” legend William Shatner, and “Good Morning America” host and former NFL player Michael Strahan. According to the novel “The Space Barons: Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and the Quest to Colonize the Cosmos” by Christian Davenport, Bezos was partially inspired to create the aerospace company after seeing the 1999 film, “October Sky.” The film is based on “Rocket Boys,” Hickam's memoir that details his youth in 1950s rural West Virginia where he and a few friends take up rocketry after being inspired by the launch of Sputnik 1.

Greg Snow was raised in Twin Falls, ID. He grew up in sports; baseball, basketball, and football. He got a job at the stockyards and that was when he first became interested in cattle. He found out there were full time cowboy jobs from Kurt Marcus articles in the western horseman and he has had the “cowboy bug” ever since. After high school, he turned down a few football scholarships and instead bought a cheap used saddle, a rope and a snaffle bit. The rest is history. He's worked on ranches in a few different states and is a well-known name in the ranching world. I had a lot of fun visiting with him and I hope you enjoy his story. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cowboy-stories/support
In this episode, Matt Blank interviews John Cox, a mostly self-taught BASE jumper who recently shattered the world record for "Most BASE jumps in 24 hours". He surpassed the previous record holders (Miles Daisher and Danny Weiland) at the end of 2023 with an outstanding performance, completing more than 100 jumps off the Perrine Bridge in Twin Falls, Idaho. We talk to him about his progression in BASE, his training for the world record attempt, and what it was like during the grueling 24-hour slog to accomplish his childhood dream of being in the Guinness Book of World Records.

The search is on for the 77th Alice in Dairyland. This marketing position with the Wisconsin Department of Ag., Trade and Consumer Protection is basically the state's agriculture ambassador. Ashley Hagenow is currently serving as "Alice". She tells Stephanie Hoff that even though she came from an agriculture background, she's still learning about the state's diversity.Wisconsin's typically known for a few things. Of course our dairy industry and cheese. Our sports teams - and our penchant for beer. In 2024 some of our breweries in the state are facing some curious trends they're working through - like drinking less! Charitee Seebecker talks with Zak Koga, Vice-President of the Wisconsin Brewers Guild& Co-founder and owner of Carbon 4 brewing. He says consumer behaviors are causing headwinds still for them as they're choosing more ready to drinks (R2D) vs beers. He says they're also drinking less (dry january, sober october). This is causing NA beer to be growing in popularity as well. Colin Kadis, broker analyst with EverAg, joins Pam Jahnke from Twin Falls, Idaho to break down the December milk production figures released Wednesday. Wisconsin milk production was down, and nationally milk production slipped. Kadis says milk is moving from as far away as Idaho to fill gaps in production down in New Mexico. Globally the U.S. is finally seeing a little export action on cheese - but cheese preferences may be changing.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Check out 5 reasons the Advantage Valley is a great place to live, work and play. And plan a winter lodge stay at WV state parks…on today's daily304. #1 – From METRO NEWS – WVSU celebrated the grand opening of its new Cybersecurity Innovation Center last week. WVSU President Ericke Cage said bringing CIC to campus is based on a vision he had when he came to the university in 2021, and it's about innovation and taking WVSU into the future. The university collaborated with Marshall in a joint grant of $2.5 million through the United States Department of Education to help establish cybersecurity as critical infrastructure in the state. In addition, the Kanawha County Commission awarded the university a grant of approximately $764,792 for the effort back in March of 2022, and Cage said such funding helped significantly to establish the center there. Cage said they will continue to work with Marshall in cybersecurity research, and they plan to provide community outreach through CIC by establishing a Cyber Defender Camp for youth.

There is no reason not to follow your heart." - Steve Jobs Learn More About How Clay Clark Helped to Grow TipTopK9.com (The TipTopK9.com Success Story Is Listed Below): Read the Original Full Story HERE: https://www.justtulsa.com/business-coach-tulsa-thrivetime/4/ In this next session, I got to sit in while Clay met with a client who specializes in custom vehicle wrapping (like a vinyl wrap that gets put on over the paint on your car, ya know?) This was another name that I was familiar with, so it was pretty cool to meet the man in charge. This meeting was heavily themed around tracking results for some different keywords that the Thrivetime business coaching program was helping this client to rank for. Like the others, this meeting ended up with some performance tweaks to be made to the client's website that will nearly guarantee the client's business to show up higher for the keywords that he wants to show up for in Google.

Between the meetings, we get a brief chance to discuss the prior meeting's action points and the “how's” and “why's” of how those apply to growing a business into the best version of itself. At this point, a couple in yellow shirts come in. They're from a company that has gone through a tremendous amount of growth since starting to work with Clay and the crew: Tip Top K9. Clay offered to let me bounce a few questions off of them after the meeting. Once they finished up, Tip Top K9 founder Ryan Wimpey came over to where I was waiting so I recorded a few questions that I asked him. I'm going to transcribe this conversation to text, so I'll keep it fairly abbreviated for the sake of our collective sanities.

EPISODE TRANSCRIPTION 00:00 ALAN FREDENDALL Good morning, PT on ICE Daily Show. Happy Thursday morning. Hope your day is off to a great start so far. My name is Alan. Happy to be your host today. Currently, I have the pleasure of serving as Chief Operating Officer. I'm a faculty member in our fitness athlete division. We're here on Leadership Thursday. We talk all things practice, management, ownership, small business, leadership, that sort of thing. Leadership Thursday means it is also Gut Check Thursday. Gut Check Thursday this week is a workout I actually did this past Monday. It is 9, 15, 21 calories on a rowing machine, power snatches with a barbell, 75 pounds for gentlemen, 55 pounds for ladies, and pull ups. Ascending reps game automatically. You should proceed with caution as you get more tired. The reps go up, something we don't like to see too often. Also very redundant in this workout on pulling and grip, right? Pulling on the rower, you have grip on the barbell, and then you have grip and pulling up on the pull-up bar. So it gets redundant, gets really grippy, even with that light barbell. That barbell should be so light you could do all of those rounds unbroken if you really needed to. Maybe one break in the round of 15, maybe one or two breaks in the round of 21. Definitely should be aiming to get that workout done under or around the 10-minute mark. I did that, rested three minutes, and then did 9, 12, 15, rested three minutes, and did 6, 9, 12. I don't recommend doing the extra two rounds. Just stick with the 9, 15, 21. That's plenty of fitness for the day. Courses coming your way from us here at IEFCE. I want to highlight our Extremity Management division led by Lindsay Huey, Mark Gallant, and Cody Gingrich, the newest lead faculty to join the Extremity Management team. You can catch those three out on the road this fall. A couple of different courses coming your way. September 9th and 10th, Mark will be down in Amarillo, Texas. Lindsay will be out in Torrington, Wyoming. The next weekend, September 16th and 17th, Mark will be on the road in Cincinnati, Ohio. The weekend after that, Lindsay will be on the road September 23rd and 24th in Twin Falls, Idaho. The first weekend in October, the 7th and 8th, Lindsay will be up in Ridgefield, Connecticut, and Mark will be in Rochester, Minnesota. November 11th and 12th, Mark will be down in Woodstock, Georgia, which is north of Atlanta, kind of out in the suburbs. The weekend of November 18th and 19th, Mark will again be on the road, this time in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. That's a little bit southeast of Nashville. Cody's first weekend as a lead faculty in the division will be the weekend of December 2nd and 3rd. That'll be out in Newark, California. That's the Bay Area, the Fremont area. And then December 9th and 10th, the last chance to catch extremity management for the year will be in Fort Collins, Colorado with Lindsay. So that's what's coming your way from the extremity division. 03:21 GROWING & SCALING YOUR PRACTICE Today we're going to be talking about hiring from the viewpoint of growing and scaling your practice. And I want to highlight the McDonald's story. So I want to talk about kind of what's always in our mind when we're thinking about growing our team, which is that little voice in the back of our head that says, geez, I hope the person that I hire is mostly like me, right? When we think about growing our team, we're often thinking about how to basically mirror or replicate ourselves. And while that's not 100% possible, that is the goal as we grow and scale. That what we're really talking about when we're bringing new people on the team, we're growing our current practice. We're thinking about maybe even a second location. We're thinking about maintaining our standards of how we run our business, of how we practice physical therapy and preserving our company's culture. So we're going to talk about the who, the what and the how. The who today is going to be McDonald's. Yes, McDonald's, the Golden Arches, the fast food company. The what is going to be talking about how they grow and scale their businesses. And the how is going to be the foundational training that every member of the team has, how that relates to your team as a physical therapist growing your practice and how shared belief systems are really important. So as a company grows, those things tend to get diluted over time. Over multiple generations of leaders and employees, teammates, whatever you want to call the folks who work with you. As we tend to get many generations deep, we noticed a subtle decline in quality and culture of when you first went to the business, when it was a single owner operator, you knew the owner. You knew how things went. You had a relationship with that person. And maybe when you come back to that business, our business in this case being physical therapy, maybe you can't see that provider before. Maybe their schedule is full and they offer to have you see another provider. As the customer is the end user, how do we know that that person is good as the first person? And how do we know that the 10th person is as good as the third person? And so on and so forth. And unfortunately, what we see happen is companies tend to grow, especially as they tend to grow to new locations and maybe even start to franchise. We see that that stuff just gets diluted over and over again until the current business that we are going to no longer resembles the initial encounter with that business. Maybe even to the point that as the customer is the end user, we decide not to give that business our money anymore. So how do we avoid that? How do we avoid the customer coming to that conclusion? 07:26 THE WHO: MCDONALD'S Well, we need to start with the who. We need to start with McDonald's. If you're not familiar with McDonald's, we'll talk about that and we'll talk about how they grew and really the foundations that allow them to grow there. So love or hate them. Everybody has their thought immediately in their mind, their knee-jerk reaction about McDonald's, but they certainly know how to run a business. They know how to deliver a consistent product. That product, at least in my personal opinion, may be quite mediocre. But dang, when you go to McDonald's in Texas or McDonald's in Michigan or McDonald's in Seattle, it doesn't matter. McDonald's in Hong Kong, it is maybe mediocre, but it's consistently mediocre, right? A McDonald's hamburger in Texas tastes the same way as a McDonald's hamburger in New York and the fries are the same and the experience of purchasing from McDonald's is largely the same as well. So they know how to deliver a consistent product and we want to figure out how they do that. They also certainly know how to grow. McDonald's has been in business for 83 years, almost 100 years of continuous business. We've talked here on Leadership Thursday before about how many businesses don't make it to the one-year mark, to the five-year mark, that about the 10-year mark, 75% of all businesses are gone. They have gone out of business before they reach the 10-year mark. So to have been in business almost 100 years continuously is quite impressive. They are the largest restaurant business in human history. They have $24 billion a year in gross revenue. Now that is an amount of money that can be hard to conceptualize. Let me break it down for you. If you haven't heard of ATI Physical Therapy, they are the largest chain of physical therapy clinics in the world. They only grow $600 million a year in annual gross revenue. So any town that is big enough to have a McDonald's, a Walmart, probably also has an ATI Physical Therapy for reference. Nonetheless, McDonald's is almost 40 times larger. They are present in 120 of the 195 countries on the planet, and they are the fourth largest employer in human history. Of the largest employer on the planet currently is Walmart. The second is the Chinese Government Railroad. The third is the Chinese Government Police Service, and the fourth is McDonald's. So of the jobs that you could currently get, you can't go work for the Chinese Government Railroad or police service. You can't just go drop an application and start. We're talking about the second largest American-based employer on the planet. Now if you haven't seen the movie The Founder, I highly recommend you watch that movie. It's one of my most favorite movies. Every time I watch it, I take something away from it. Came out in 2016, and it's really kind of the tale of the start of McDonald's and the growth of McDonald's across the country and eventually the world. 11:27 THE WHAT: SUCCESSFUL GROWTH So that's the what we're going to talk about today. We're going to talk about the franchising of the McDonald's Corporation. Amazing movie. Nick Offerman and John Carroll Lynch play the McDonald's brothers who formed the first McDonald's out in California many, many, many, many years ago. And Michael Keaton does a great job playing Ray Kroc, the guy who finds the McDonald's brothers and becomes the person that franchises McDonald's into the business that it is today. So the original McDonald's started out in San Bernardino, California. It was a one-location restaurant run by the McDonald's brothers. They had a very systematic way of approaching a business. They practiced and trained and redesigned the restaurant again and again and again to optimize efficiency, to basically make burgers and fries and shakes as fast as possible in the almost pre-drive-through era of you had to drive to McDonald's and walk up to the window and order your food. And they created a wonderful, flourishing business that Ray Kroc stumbled upon. He actually was selling a machine that could make six milkshakes at once. And he was hand delivering it to the McDonald's brothers out in California when he watched just how busy their restaurant was all day long and decided this, these guys are onto something. If we could take this business and multiply it, we could really make a lot of money. So those brothers practiced. They had their employees practice work, right? They trained almost military style of running and operating their business. And they did so with a systematic approach, a fundamental approach to how to cook and serve food in a high quality, yes, but also a consistent and efficient manner. And it was built upon a common foundation of training and also of shared values of we want to deliver a high quality product, but we want to do it efficiently. People don't want to sit and wait 30 minutes for a hamburger. They want to be able to walk up to this window and a couple of minutes, get their food, pay and be on their way. Right. The person that's on lunch break or grabbing a bite to eat after work or before work or whatever, walk up, grab your food, go again in the pre drive through area, definitely the pre door dash era of delivering a high quality product. Very, very fast. So Ray Kroc stumbled upon these guys and started to franchise it. Initially did not go the right way. And I think it's important to know that it did not start off in an amazing way that immediately started cheapening ingredients, started using premixed milkshakes instead of actual milk in the milkshakes and initially started with a model that had really minimal control over new locations and leaders. And early on, and you'll see this if you watch the movie, McDonald's all over the country was completely random and different as far as what you might expect. You might find a McDonald's in Illinois that sold hamburgers and french fries and milkshakes, but you might go to a McDonald's in Wisconsin and find barbecue food. You might go to a McDonald's in St. Louis and find them selling tacos. So they kind of had a rocky start that they got away from their foundations. They no longer kept that regimented training, that regimented shared value systems. But I'll tell you the tale of how they turned it around. One of the cooks that worked at one of the original McDonald's, his name was Fred Turner In 1961, he created a training system called what is now known as Hamburg University of saying, hey, this is getting crazy. Every location that the customer goes to, they might be serving completely different food. There may be a completely different experience. They might be dirty at one location, unbelievably clean at the next, a different food just all over the place with consistency and quality. We have to fix this. And that kind of evolved with Fred Turner working alongside Ray Kroc into forming now what is known as the present day McDonald's, which again, the food may not be the highest quality, it might not taste the best, but darn it, it is consistent. And that is really the values that McDonald's presents today. Consistency and simplicity and uniformity with a goal and a shared belief system of quality, service and cleanliness. So they formed this university back in the 60s, Hamburg University. They now have locations in eight countries. They started in 1961. That guy, Fred Turner, who was just a cook, worked his way up and eventually became the CEO of McDonald's for 20 years and really kind of led the global expansion of McDonald's across the planet onto every street corner in America, into 120 countries across the planet. Down to really specific stuff. He was really insistent that fries had to be cut 0.28 inches thick, that one pound of beef should make exactly 10 1.6 ounce patties, so on and so forth. Consistency, the ability to replicate that business across not only shifts at the same location, but at every location across the town, across the state, across the country and eventually across the planet. So that is the who, that is the what. 13:59 THE HOW: SHARED TRAINING & BELIEFS Now we need to talk about how, how did they get there? Again, they had a rocky start, but how they arrived at where they're at now, again, one of the largest, most successful businesses in the history of our species. How did they get there? They get there these days by being very, very selective that each addition to their team is of similar quality to the rest of the team, that they have a shared belief system and that they all go through the same foundational training of when you are maybe a line cook or fry cook or you work the drive through McDonald's. Yes, you are just an hourly wage employee, but once you are maybe going to get promoted when the regional manager, when the owner decides your management material, you go to Hamburger University. If you are thinking about starting a McDonald's franchise, you also go to Hamburger University. They are very selective in who goes to Hamburger University. Only 1% of the people who apply get accepted. And the goal of Hamburger University is to teach managers and owners how to run a McDonald's to the McDonald's standard. Again, we have that common shared training foundation. We are hiring people with a shared common belief system. We are allowing the business to grow and scale without the end user, the customer being really able to notice any change in quality. McDonald's is doing it right. If you leave your house at 6 a.m. and you have a 12 hour road trip and you grab a coffee from McDonald's and a McMuffin at the start of your journey, if you stop at McDonald's four states away for lunch or dinner, it should feel almost exactly like the McDonald's that you stopped at at the start of your journey right by your house. It should really be no different. And even you have probably done this and if you haven't done this, you are a liar. You have gotten a drink at McDonald's in the morning on a long road trip and you have stopped maybe at multiple McDonald's along your route to get a refill of your drink. And again, if you haven't done that, you are probably lying. A lot of us have done that. So that replicated experience location over location over location. And I think we have a lot to learn from that model. And that model does not start with putting money first. It does not start with putting numbers first. It starts with making sure that we are incredibly selective of who we let join our team. And so that brings me to the how. How do we do that? We do that by being extraordinarily picky with who we let join our team. A lot of people will see your clinic, your business, whatever you are doing, being very successful and they want to invite themselves to come on board the ship. They are happy to stop by and drop off their resume and let you know that they are ready to start a position whenever you are ready to start paying them. And oftentimes we find ourselves as our business, our clinic, our practice is growing. We need people more than we care about exactly who that person is. And we have the mindset of we can train that person later. We can mentor that person later. All that matters is that I have more patients on my schedule than I can see. I have a month long wait list. I have a three month wait list. I have a six month wait list. And that's money I'm not capturing now. So I'm just going to hire that person who walked in the door and threw their resume on my desk. And we can't do that. Not if we want to replicate a really high quality experience, a consistent quality experience for our patients and our clients. Not enough businesses are picky enough at this process of making sure that person has the same beliefs that we do, making sure that we have a common shared foundation of training. Us here, we now only hire students who do a long rotation here or folks who have passed the ICE certification exam. That's where our standard is at now. That tells us that person either we have trained them in our training, our foundation as well, and we find out if they have our common belief systems or not, or we know that is on board already because they have passed such a rigorous certification as the ICE cert. But not enough of us are that picky. 17:23 WHEN GROWTH GOES WRONG And what happens if we don't do that? What happens when growth goes wrong? I want to just share a hypothetical example, speaking of the extremity management division today. Imagine that folks just have maybe even a little bit of a difference in what they believe and what they have been trained to do as physical therapists. And we say, you know what? They're only like 20% different. It doesn't matter. It doesn't really matter at the end of the day. Let's just hire this person anyways, even if they are maybe 20% different than the rest of the folks already on the team. Let's take an example of Lindsay and Mark from our extremity management team. Let's say that Mark believes that the foot, the ankle and foot, has no orthopedic value whatsoever. When he teaches his course, he just kind of glosses over that material and maybe even ends his class early. He ends faster than he planned to, right? Maybe he just kind of flips through the slides, shows a couple techniques, maybe an exercise, and he says, you know what? The ankle is really not that important to the body. Have a great weekend. Thanks for being here. Bye. And we're done at 3.30. Now, as we take that person who is now going to train more people underneath of them, the next person Mark trains is likely going to give even less attention to the ankle and foot. They're going to pass over even more of the fine details. And you can imagine if we take that now several generations deep, three, four, five generations deep, that that next person teaching extremity management may not even teach the ankle and foot, right? They may delete it from their slides entirely. Hey, we don't teach that in this course. Which is not true at all, right? Now we have a consistency problem in the product. What about the other end of the continuum? What if Lindsay believes the opposite? What if she believes the foot is the most important structure in the human body? What if she believes that great toe extension is linked to developing Alzheimer's disease? What if she spends so much time on the ankle and foot when she teaches extremity management that now her classes run until 7 p.m. on Sunday? Again, we have for a different reason, a consistency product, a consistency problem with the product we're delivering. Now again, that same example, as we get multiple generations deep, you could imagine the next person Lindsay trains underneath her maybe believes the foot is even more important and spends even more time on the ankle and foot. And maybe three, four, five generations deep, that person spends all of Sunday talking about the ankle and foot. We don't even talk about the hip and the knee anymore. Everything's about the ankle and the foot. And eventually what we come upon is a divergent offering of the same product. That the consistency of the product is diminished or absent entirely. And we have an entirely splinter product being offered. We're now offering two separate products from the same company, even though up many layers above in the leadership position, we're trying to figure out why the inconsistency is there. And it comes from not having that shared common training foundation and that shared belief system. So who is McDonald's? What is how they have franchised across the planet into one of the most successful businesses And the how is being really particular in who you let on your team and making sure that they already arrive with similar belief systems about how to practice physical therapy in a common training foundation. So many people arrive, new students, new grads with a wide variety of beliefs depending on where they went to school, what continued education courses they may have taken after it really can lead to that divergent offering of product that really creates a consistency and a quality product for your business over time. And again, in our mind is the original owner, the leader of the business. That's something we're trying to avoid at all costs. When we think about hiring new people, we're thinking about how can I essentially copy myself as much as possible so that when people come to see this new person I've hired or this eighth new person I've hired or my new location, how can I be sure that they get the same consistent product that I initially delivered when I started the business and it comes down to that shared common training foundation and that belief system. So that's the first part of this series. I want to take you all through the who, the what and the how. Next time I want to talk about once you have actually found that person, where do we go from there into the nitty gritty of things like operating agreements, things of making sure that our training foundation stays the same as we move through our practice, as we move through time together with these members on our team. I hope this was helpful. I hope you have fun with Gut Check Thursday. I hope you have a wonderful, fantastic Thursday and a great Labor Day weekend. We'll actually see you next week for a little bit of talk on carbohydrates on Fitness Athlete Friday. Have a great Thursday. Have a great weekend.
