Howdy my friend, God bless you! Todays's talk is rather long, longer than I had thought.

On this episode of The Ty Brady Way, Ty sits down with Tom Richter, regional developer for Jan Pro of Utah, a commercial cleaning franchise that has grown under his leadership from a second mortgage and a two-person operation into a 125-franchisee network with a multi-million dollar economic footprint across the state. Tom's story is one that will resonate with anyone who has ever looked at a corporate career and wondered if there was something more, and then actually did something about it. Tom grew up in Nebraska as a farmer, which he describes as the original entrepreneurial proving ground. Risk, reward, and no guaranteed outcome were baked into his upbringing. He carried that mindset into a 21-year corporate career, but after surviving three mergers, acquisitions, and hostile takeovers, the writing was on the wall. Rather than find another company to work for, Tom started looking at what it would mean to finally bet on himself. A former boss had bought into Jan Pro down in Tampa, Tom flew out to meet the founders, and something clicked. Their core values lined up. By the time the flight home landed, his mind was made up. Seven of his eight siblings were entrepreneurs, and he realized he was not supposed to be working for anyone else either. Tom and his wife Carol took a second mortgage out on their home and purchased the rights to develop Jan Pro across the state of Utah, becoming only the 12th city to come on board with the brand and one of the first two locations in the entire Western United States. The first three to five years were exactly what you would expect from any startup. Tom was making sales calls, training new franchise owners, handling operations, and doing whatever needed doing while Carol managed the office while still working remotely for Intermountain Healthcare. Just the two of them for the first six months before bringing on their first hire. Today that team has grown to 12 support staff serving 125 franchise owners across Utah. The Jan Pro model is something Tom explains with a lot of clarity and obvious pride. Rather than sending franchise owners out to fend for themselves, Jan Pro handles the sales, the client contracts, the audits and inspections, the invoicing, and the collections. Franchise owners come to Tom knowing how much business they want to build, they get trained, and then the regional development team goes out and gets their clients for them. Tom compares it to being the general contractor while the franchise owner supplies the labor. It removes most of the barriers that cause small cleaning operations to fail, and it is why the people who follow the model consistently succeed. The success stories are hard to ignore. One franchise owner came in from Logan with just $950, the entry level at the time, starting with $500 a month in cleaning revenue. Twenty years later he is generating $40,000 a month and employs around 20 people, all while keeping his full-time job. Another owner arrived from Venezuela on refugee asylum status after losing three auto mechanic shops in Caracas to the political environment there. He is now Jan Pro Utah's largest franchise owner, on track to hit a million dollars in revenue in just his fifth year with around 35 employees. These are not outliers. They are what the model produces when people commit to it. Tom is candid about what gets people into trouble. The biggest issue is not the cleaning itself, it is management. A husband and wife team or a two-person operation can generally get to $75,000 or $100,000 in revenue on their own, but something shifts when they bring on employees. The expectation that an employee will care about the work the same way they do is where things start to fall apart. Without proper training, supervision, and ongoing engagement, it can unravel fast. His advice is direct: if you do not have strong business acumen, go get it before you need it, whether through SCORE or another resource that can fill in the gaps. Tom also touches on what it takes mentally to make the leap into franchising or any kind of business ownership. He believes roughly 90% of people want to start something of their own, but half of them talk themselves out of it when they honestly assess their risk tolerance and their ability to push through the hard early years. That self-awareness is not weakness, it is honesty, and Tom respects it. But for those who do have that fortitude, the Jan Pro model is structured to give them as much runway as possible to succeed. Looking ahead, Tom expects 20 to 30 percent year-over-year growth for the next five or more years and is on track to earn Gold Circle recognition among Jan Pro's top 20 offices worldwide. His son has been part of the business for 12 years and is moving into ownership, setting up a transition that will carry the business well beyond Tom and Carol's chapter. After 27 years of building, refining, and proving the model, the legacy looks like it is in good hands.   Connect with Tom Richter: Website: janpro.com/utah LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/tomrichterutah   Connect with The Ty Brady Way: Email: thetybradyway@gmail.com Instagram: @thetybradyway   As always, share, like, and subscribe.

The Pentagon has released its fourth tranche of videos and documents related to UAP under its Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters (PURSUE) initiative, with the latest batch of materials now available for viewing at the U.S. Department of War's website. However, the latest revelations only add to a growing number of indistinct videos and other materials that raise more questions than they provide answers to. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we delve into what the latest PURSUE Release 04 contains and some of the questions that arise from viewing the new UAP materials. Is this really "Disclosure" that we're seeing, or are the recent UAP materials released by the Pentagon just the latest distraction in a long history of similar efforts by the U.S. government?

Dillon Osleger is a scientist, writer, and environmental advocate whose work is anchored in society's relationship with wild and rapidly changing environments. With an academic background in geology, ecology, and climate science, he has spent over a decade working on trail restoration, land management, and public lands policy across the American West. On this episode of Nature Revisited, Osleger reminds us of the forgotten trails of the Western United States. One of the greatest infrastructure investments in the nation's history—paths through our public lands—has been rubbed away by time and deliberate neglect. As federal investment dwindles, more than two-thirds of a nationwide network of wagon roads, water sources, trap lines, and Indigenous trading trails and campgrounds have gradually been erased from the map. Asking how we can better care for the places that are claimed for the American public, Osleger offers a land ethic born of joy in stewardship, attention to history and community, and living and treading lightly. https://dillonosleger.com/ https://www.heydaybooks.com/catalog/trail-work/ Listen to Nature Revisited on your favorite podcast apps, on YouTube, or at https://noordenproductions.com Subscribe on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/bdz4s9d7 Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/5n7yx28t Subscribe on Youtube Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/bddd55v9 Podlink: https://pod.link/1456657951 Support Nature Revisited https://noordenproductions.com/support Nature Revisited is produced by Stefan van Norden and Charles Geoghegan.

And subscribe to Rosemary’s “Engineering with Rosie” YouTube channel here. Have a question we can answer on the show? Email us! Good Monday everyone. There is a deal being made in Washington today … and the ocean is watching. Invenergy, the largest privately held power developer in North America, has agreed to hand back four offshore wind leases to the federal government. The price tag … seven hundred sixty-five million dollars. Those leases covered waters off New York, the Gulf of Maine, and Morro Bay off central California. One of those projects … Leading Light Wind … a two-point-four gigawatt development in the New York Bight … had already been canceled last November due to economic and regulatory pressure. The remaining three lease areas represented another four-point-eight gigawatts of potential capacity. All of it … gone. In exchange, Invenergy will redirect that capital into natural gas plants in Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri … and into geothermal projects across the Western United States. This is now the eighth offshore wind lease the Trump administration has bought out. Total cost to the federal government across all eight deals … more than two-point-five billion dollars. Seven state attorneys general are already suing over an earlier buyout with another developer, arguing the administration lacks legal authority to use federal funds this way. Invenergy is already pivoting toward geothermal. Just last week, the company acquired a five thousand-acre geothermal parcel in New Mexico through a federal lease sale. That brings its total federal geothermal footprint to forty-five parcels … one hundred forty-four thousand acres … across five western states. While Invenergy’s offshore leases are being canceled … the ocean beneath those kinds of projects may be quietly thriving. Scientists have spent seven years studying the Block Island Wind Farm off the coast of Rhode Island … America’s first offshore wind installation. They tracked nearly a million marine animals across seventy-one species. What they expected to find was damage. What they found instead … was astounding. Black sea bass abandoned their old wandering patterns and began clustering around the turbine foundations to feed. Blue mussels colonized the steel pylons. Macroalgae spread across the submerged surfaces. Cod, lobster, and reef fish moved into the rock piled around the bases. The turbines became reefs. Accidental … but unmistakable. Researchers at the University of St. Andrews strapped GPS trackers to harbor seals expecting them to flee offshore wind farms. Instead … the seals swam straight lines through the turbine rows … stopping to forage at each foundation … like a delivery driver working a route. One seal traced the turbine layout so precisely that researchers said you could have mapped every foundation from that single animal’s trail alone. Researchers are finding a sobering conclusion: whether a turbine helps the ocean or hurts it depends almost entirely on how old it is … and where it stands. New foundations going in … disruptive. Old foundations with fifteen years of growth on them … something closer to a reef. The science is finally precise enough to say which is which. The seals figured it out years ago. They just went where the food was … in very straight lines. Meanwhile, on dry land … RES, the global renewable energy company, has launched a new tool called Smart Pilot that automates wind turbine blade inspections using drones. RES says it will take twenty-five percent less time. And it runs on standard DJI consumer drone hardware … no proprietary equipment required. RES currently supports approximately forty-five gigawatts of installed renewable capacity worldwide. And over in France … RWE has officially opened three new wind farms in northern France. Combined capacity: sixty-eight-point-eight megawatts. Together, they will power approximately thirty-eight thousand French households with electricity from the wind. The projects took a decade from development to inauguration. The turbines are spinning now. And over in the UK, Japan and the United Kingdom have signed an Offshore Wind Compact committing Japan to facilitate up to nine billion British pounds … roughly twelve billion dollars … in investment for five-point-nine gigawatts of floating offshore wind in British waters. Three projects underpin the deal. Ossian … three-point-six gigawatts … Green Volt … five hundred sixty megawatts … and Erebus … a one hundred megawatt demonstration project planned for the Celtic Sea. The United Kingdom called it a long-term structural measure. Not a reaction to the moment. But a bet on the future. There are many roadblocks ahead for offshore and onshore wind. That is clear. Invenergy turning over their offshore leases feels more like financial leveraging than an internal philosophy shift. At some point in the relatively near future Invenergy can probably buy back those leases at a fraction of the cost. Because wind energy — along with solar energy — is only getting cheaper. And economics eventually wins. And the worry about sea life due to offshore turbines — that worry seems misplaced. And that’s the state of the wind industry for the 22nd of June 2026. Join us tomorrow for the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast.

In this episode, Michael takes a closer look at the rising cost of beef and the factors driving it. You might be surprised to learn that the price of beef isn't just a result of corporate greed or a cartel, but rather a complex interplay of biology and economics. Michael delves into the world of cattle farming, explaining how the American cattle herd is at its smallest in 75 years, and how this has led to a significant increase in beef prices. He also explores the role of drought, ranchers' decisions, and the gestation cycle of cows versus chickens in shaping the beef market. With the chicken industry able to respond quickly to changes in demand, he argues that the real culprit behind the rising beef prices is not a cartel, but rather the biology of cattle farming. The episode also touches on the topic of federal land ownership in the Western United States, where the government owns a staggering 80% of the land. Michael questions the logic behind this and argues that the default should be disposal, not retention, of federal land. He also discusses the implications of this on local communities and the environment. If you're curious about the real reasons behind the rising cost of beef and the complex issues surrounding federal land ownership, tune in to this episode to hear Michael's insightful analysis and arguments.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's Monday, May 18th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Daughter of imprisoned Chinese pastor urges his release Before he left for the Chinese-American summit in Beijing, President Donald Trump said that he would advocate for the release of Pastor Ezra Jin of the underground Zion Church who was arrested in October 2025 during a massive Communist crackdown against the body of Christ. In a recent interview on Fox News Channel, Grace Drexel, his daughter, who emigrated to America several years ago, spoke about her father's church. DREXEL: “My father's church was one of the largest independent churches in China, and for that reason they came after my father. The charge against them was the illegal use of information networks, because he was hosting his services, both online and offline, having smaller groups meet together.” She described Pastor Jin's character. DREXEL: “My father is a pastor in China, and, like Christians everywhere, he believed that the church should only have one God and serve one God. He led his church in order to be faithful to Scripture and faithful to his beliefs. “Ultimately, I know my father as just a very gentle and kind man. He is not very confrontational.  This kind and gentle man is now in prison. They handcuffed him and shaved his hair, and is not getting his medication that he needs -- all because he was just leading a church.” Grace was counting on U.S. President Trump to negotiate her father's release from his unjust imprisonment with Chinese President Xi Jinping. DREXEL: “We hope that, as the two leaders are meeting together, that they will both have a softening of the hearts and will release my father and allow him to come to the U.S.” According to President Trump, President Jinping was “going to strongly consider the pastor,” reports The Hill.com. Grace Drexel, Pastor Jin's daughter, advocated for the release of hundreds of other pastors who have also been unfairly imprisoned for their faith in Jesus Christ. DREXEL: “We see that this is not an isolated case. There are so many pastors and church leaders and churches being persecuted in China actively today. In fact, we know that there are hundreds of pastors that are currently in prison, or are in detention, or have recently, very recently, been released. This is a very critical period in China, and it's very disheartening and very scary for many Christians in China.” Send a polite, 2-sentence letter urging Pastor Ezra Jin's release to Ambassador Xie Feng, Chinese Embassy, 3505 International Place, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20008. Church of Scotland sees surge of converts amid “deep spiritual hunger” The Church of Scotland in the United Kingdom has seen a surge of converts since the COVID-19 pandemic amid what one clergyman called "a deep spiritual hunger,” reports The Christian Post. In 2025, 820 people in the denomination affirmed faith in the saving work of Jesus Christ, which is nearly double the 428 people who did so in 2021, according to official church figures. In a May 8th report, church leaders wrote, "We are seeing evidence of increased Bible engagement, renewed interest in spiritual questions, growing church attendance, and more young people and young adults coming to faith with confidence." Rev. David Cameron noted that 3,292 Scotts have professed faith in Christ between 2021 and 2025. He said, "I believe this growth reflects the fact that, even in uncertain times, there remains a deep spiritual hunger within our parishes." The new conversions come amid a wider decline in membership in the Church of Scotland, whose approximately 229,000 members recorded at the end of 2025 indicated a fall of 5% from 2024, primarily because of death. The Church of Scotland, which was established in the 16th century as a Reformed, Presbyterian denomination, differs from the Church of England in that it does not recognize the British monarch as its political head. Sadly, in 2016 the Scottish church rejetced clear Biblical teaching and allowed its clergy to enter into faux homosexual marriages and civil partnerships. Then, in May 2022, the Church of Scotland General Assembly voted in favor of permitting the church's clergy to conduct homosexual faux marriages, reported the BBC. Romans 1:26-27 says, “God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.  In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another.” Supreme Court allows Abortion Kill Pill to continue to be sent by mail Here in the United States, on May 14th, the Supreme Court ruled to allow the Abortion Kill Pill to continue to be sent through the mail. It trumped the May 1st ruling by a federal appeals court in Louisiana which had barred the mailing of mifepristone, one of two drugs used in medication abortions, which is the preferred murder method that 63% of mothers choose who wish to abort their children. To their credit, Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito both dissented. Alito contended that “[w]hat is at stake is the perpetration of a scheme to undermine our decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization,” the court's 2022 decision overturning Roe v. Wade. Gov. DeSantis vs. House Minority Leader Jeffries on redistricting Ever since the Virginia Supreme Court rejected the unconstitutional redistricting in Virginia where Republicans would only be left with one of 11 Congressional seats, Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has been discouraging Florida Republican politicians from doing their own redistricting, reports The Hill.com. Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis got a kick out Congressman Jeffries' rhetoric. DeSANTIS: “I heard this guy, Jeffries, popping off in Washington, about Florida. He wants to be Speaker of the House, and he's more liberal than [Nancy] Pelosi from New York City. We're going to go after Florida. Please be my guest. I will pay for you to come down to Florida and campaign. I'll put you up in the Florida governor's mansion. We'll take you fishing. “There's nothing that could be better for Republicans in Florida than to see Hakeem Jeffries everywhere around this state. Voters will not like what they see. They will not want that type of ideology. And so, the door is open. The invitation is out there. I don't think there would be anything better for the Republican Party of Florida, but to have Jeffries there. “Now, I kind of feel bad for the guy, because he's as left as they come. He's always going left, and yet the Far Left hates him. You know, they call him a ‘Dollar Store Obama.'” On May 15th, the Supreme Court rejected the appeal of Virginia Democrats to revive their lopsided redistricting plan, reports Politico.com. Missionary Sheldon Jackson felt compelled to share Gospel And finally, 192 years ago today, Sheldon Jackson was born in 1834.  He wanted to become a missionary overseas, but the Presbyterian board told the five-foot-tall Jackson, who had weak eyesight and was often ill, that he would be better suited for duty in the United States.  Jackson's first assignment was at the Choctaw mission in Oklahoma Territory, where he worked until poor health forced him to go back East in 1859. In the summer of 1869, Jackson went on a missionary tour using the railroad and stage lines, establishing a church a day. Jackson found his major life's work in the new territory of Alaska with 20,000 miles of coastline. In 1867, Secretary of State William Seward, during the administration of President Andrew Johnson, had negotiated the Alaska Purchase from Russia.   In 1877, Jackson began his work in Alaska. He became committed to the Christian, educational, and economic wellbeing of the Alaska Natives.  He famously said, “I must work the works of Him Who sent me while it is yet day,” adapting the command of John 9:4.  The Scripture says, “As long as it is day, we must do the works of Him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work.” Ultimately, he travelled one million miles and established more than one hundred missions and churches, mostly in the Western United States.

Episode Summary Jamie Barker, Public Information Officer for Boulder Fire Rescue, joins O.P. Almaraz on the All Things Wildfire podcast for an in-depth conversation on wildfire preparedness, community resilience, evacuation planning, and the evolving reality of living in wildfire-prone regions. Drawing from Boulder's experience following the devastating Marshall Fire, Jamie shares how wildfire resilience goes far beyond individual homes — requiring coordination between homeowners, neighbors, local government, and emergency responders. The conversation explores defensible space misconceptions, emotional barriers to preparedness, community-wide mitigation efforts, evacuation drills, insurance concerns, and the concept of "fire adapted communities." This episode offers practical insights for homeowners, HOAs, and communities looking to better prepare for the growing wildfire threat across the Western United States. Show Notes In This Episode: Why wildfire preparedness is a shared community responsibility The biggest misconceptions homeowners have about defensible space Lessons learned from the Marshall Fire Why "it's not if, it's when" has become the new wildfire reality The emotional and financial barriers preventing mitigation work How Boulder Fire Rescue approaches wildfire communication Community evacuation drills and creating muscle memory The relationship between insurance, preparedness, and resilience Why fear can be transformed into empowerment through preparation What "fire adapted communities" actually mean
