Tommy Mello hosts a Super Bowl day episode of The Home Service Expert with Ismael Valdez, founder of VE and NextGen (Anaheim), discussing how to scale home service businesses through disciplined marketing, sales process mastery, and operational execution. Ishmael explains how he would evaluate investing in a $20M company by first assessing the energy and leadership of the C-suite/upper management, then reviewing data systems like CRM/ServiceTitan and financials, contrasting this with smaller $4 - $5M owner-driven businesses. They discuss the importance of competitiveness, infrastructure, and recruiting, and Tommy's focus on lead generation and funnel math (booking rate, cancellations, conversion rate), including capacity planning, overstaffing with outbound to fill boards, and lowering cancellations driven by response time. Ishmael emphasizes three core departments: marketing, sales, and operations/customer fulfillment, and argues many operators underperform in marketing and sales. 00:00 The Importance of Client Empowerment 06:03 Marketing as the Foundation of Success 11:53 Managing Seasonality in Business 14:59 Investment Strategies Post-Exit 22:28 Creative Financing and Collaboration 31:14 Market Entry Strategies and Performance Metrics 36:27 Marketing and Brand Recognition 39:06 Sales Techniques and Customer Engagement 49:19 The Power of Personal Branding 55:16 Sales Strategies and Growth Goals

Cuba is spiraling into a humanitarian crisis. The country's long-standing economic and political turmoil reached new heights this week as the effects of the Trump administration's oil blockade took hold.The president's targeting of Cuba is part of the administration's broader attacks on the region, where the U.S. kidnapped Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores earlier this year and has executed more than 140 people in boat strikes.As the U.S. hurtles toward war with Iran and further military action in the Middle East and continues to fund Israel's genocide in Gaza, Cuba is just the latest foreign policy arena where the Trump administration has further ensnared the U.S. This week on The Intercept Briefing, senior politics reporter Akela Lacy speaks with fellow reporter Jonah Valdez about how U.S. foreign policy is impacting the upcoming midterm elections and Valdez's recent reporting on how a new anti-Zionist PAC has associated with influencers that have made statements that are outright antisemitic. Lacy also speaks to University of Miami history professor Michael Bustamante and Andrés Pertierra, a historian of Cuba specializing in post-1959 regime durability, about the crisis unfolding in Cuba.Missing from mainstream news coverage of Trump's attacks on Cuba and U.S. efforts to impose regime change in the region is a recognition of how Trump's policies fit into his attacks on immigrants in the U.S., Bustamante says.“One of the, I think, subtext of why this administration might be keen on government change in Cuba, like in Venezuela, it's not just about being able to plant the flag and say, ‘We buried communism in the Americas. Something that no other president could do,'” Bustamante says. “It's also about, we can deport more people. And we can deport more people. And so how does the Cuban American community react to that? That, I think, is an open question. Something that I haven't seen linked yet to the conversation about regime change, per se.”The Trump administration's strategy is likely to backfire, Pertierra says.“You don't get long-term cooperation stability through fear,” he says. “So I don't think it's actually going to solidify the U.S. position in Latin America. I think it's going to further weaken it.”Listen to the full conversation of The Intercept Briefing on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

In this episode of Adulting With Autism, April is joined by Helene Zupanc and Beth Valdez—licensed professional counselors in Arizona with 25+ years of combined experience—about how to interrupt negative thought loops using simple, personalized mantras that actually feel authentic. Helene and Beth are the co-authors of Sticky Note Mantras: The Art and Science of Choosing Your Thoughts, a practical mental health toolkit built from real therapy sessions: the "one thing" clients needed to remember after they walked out the door. We talk about why the brain gets stuck in repetitive patterns like "I'm not good enough," "I'm not loved," or "I can't," and how the survival brain (including the amygdala) can send false alarms based on old experiences. This conversation includes: How to create mantras that work for autistic and neurodivergent adults (without toxic positivity) Why repetition builds new neural pathways—and what consistency realistically looks like Tools for regulation beyond talk therapy: somatic yoga, sound therapy, and "bottoms‑up" nervous system support How to "catch it, check it, change it" when the spiral starts Self-compassion prompts that don't feel fake—and how gratitude can shift internal dialogue Practical mantra examples like "That's just a brain glitch," "People will people," and "Just don't stand still." If you want mental health strategies that are simple, research-informed, and usable on hard days—this episode delivers.

Today's word of the day is ‘carrots' as in Bad Bunny as in Super Bowl as in Seahawks as in Patriots as in Santa Clara! The Super Bowl is here! Can Sam Darnold lead the Seahawks to a Super Bowl victory? Is Drake Maye going to become the youngest QB to ever win a Super Bowl? Is Mike Vrabel going to go from Patriots player winning a title to a Patriots head coach winning a title? Are people going to tune out of Bad Bunny's halftime show? So many storylines! (12:28) NPPOD. (19:03) The Detroit Tigers went to arbitration with Tarik Skubal. The Detroit Tigers signed Framber Valdez to a $115 million deal on the same day. Coincidence? Let me explain! (35:40) Review: People We Meet on Vacation. (38:35) Anthony Davis has been traded by the Mavericks. He played just 29 games for the franchise. What a trade for Luka Doncic.

Was this the big Detroit sports move we've been waiting for?

The guys react to yesterday's big news of the Tigers signing former Astros SP Framber Valdez to a huge 3-year, $115 million deal.

The guys spent the second hour offering some more thoughts on the Tigers signing Valdez and losing their arbitration battle vs. Tarik Skubal. They heard from the people throughout the hour as well.

Mike and Rico began the show with their thoughts on the Tigers' signing of Framber Valdez to a big 3-year deal. In the next segment, they reacted in real time to the breaking news that Tarik Skubal won the arbitration battle before David joined with a list of the most surprising personnel moves in Detroit sports history.

The hot stove finally cools down as the Detroit Tigers sign ace pitcher Framber Valdez to a massive 3-year, $111 million deal. Tiki and Evan debate whether this move makes Detroit a legitimate World Series contender or if they are simply capitalizing on a weak AL Central—and how they stack up against the New York Yankees in a potential playoff series. Then, the results are in for the show's MLB Free Agency Bingo. After months of tracking, a winner is crowned (spoiler: it's Tiki), while Tommy finishes dead last. The guys also pivot to a bizarre history lesson, discussing Robert Todd Lincoln's uncanny proximity to three presidential assassinations and the irony of the man who saved his life.

iki and Evan dive into the controversy surrounding Tom Brady's recent comments about the Patriots in the Super Bowl. Despite his former teammate Mike Vrabel coaching New England, Brady claims he has "no dog in the fight," sparking outrage among Boston fans and former players. The guys debate whether Brady is being corporate, disconnected, or just trying to protect his new ownership interests. Later, the show shifts to Major League Baseball as the Detroit Tigers make a splash by signing Framber Valdez, leading to a debate on whether the Tigers are now legitimate threats to the New York Yankees in the American League.

02/02 Hour 1: Cakes, Valdez, And Maher Recap The Vaults - 1:00 Top Storylines Around The Sports World - 17:00 Biggest Winners From The 2026 Grammys - 35:00

From 02/02 Hour 1: The Sports Junkies recap their experience at the Vaults this past weekend.

On today's episode, host Kate Lindsay is joined by writer Laura Wheatman Hill. Her Slate piece, “We Should Just Let TikTok Die,” documents life under TikTok's new ownership. Algorithm glitches and alleged censorship have users disenchanted with the platform, which is now in the hands of owners friendly to Donald Trump. Some prominent users have already deleted the app, but even if people stay, the old TikTok—with its personalized algorithm and thriving culture—is already dead. This podcast is produced by Daisy Rosario, Vic Whitley-Berry, and Kate Lindsay, with help from A.C. Valdez. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
