Hour 4 of the Marc Cox Morning Show went out swinging with the most entertaining and informative hour of conservative radio you'll hear all week. The Short List opened with Carmelo Anthony's family cashing a $650,000 GoFundMe check while he heads to prison, Amendment 5's rigged ballot language, and Jasmine Crockett making a fool of herself one last time before she fades into lame duck obscurity. Then Jimmy Failla brought the house down with his surgical takedown of Maine's Nazi Democrat, California's miracle mail-in ballot lady, and the media's breathtaking double standard on tattoos. Taylor Riggs delivered a sobering dose of financial reality — inflation at a three-year high, the Fed boxed into a corner, and Social Security heading for a 2032 cliff that Washington refuses to talk about honestly. And Neil Westfall closed the hour with something worth actually looking forward to — 400-plus rare European cars, free admission, and a charity that serves kids and adults with developmental disabilities this Sunday in Chesterfield. The Marc Cox Morning Show — four hours of truth, four hours of fight, and we'll be right back here Thursday at 5AM.

In this episode of HR & Payroll 2.0, Pete and Julie welcome Kelly Westfall, a payroll leader known for bringing equal parts precision and heart to one of the most mission-critical (and most misunderstood) functions in the enterprise. Kelly shares how she found her way from HR and onboarding into payroll leadership and why the complexity, accountability, and responsibility of getting pay right drive her passion and career forward. The conversation gets real about life in payroll: the constant exceptions, the operational risk, the employee trust equation, and the quiet heroics required to keep pay accurate, compliant, and reliable at scale. Kelly shares what's driving burnout and talent scarcity across payroll teams, why many organizations still under-resource the function while over-relying on it. Kelly reminds us that payroll is a trust function, and payroll leaders will advance through calm influence, fostering community connection, and communicating at the executive level!

How do you turn a passion for bow hunting into a business that builds community and changes lives? In this episode, Cam and Otis sit down with Sam Westfall, an Army veteran and founder of Archery in Motion, who has created a unique space where veterans and civilians alike can experience the challenge, camaraderie, and healing that comes from the discipline of the bow."I break every one of those rules," Sam explains about traditional archery tournaments. Instead of rigid competition formats with scorecards and egos, he's built something different—fun shoots that challenge experienced archers while welcoming complete beginners. From steel targets to moving targets to shots beyond 40 yards, Sam's approach prioritizes the experience of archery over the formality of competition.What makes this conversation particularly valuable is Sam's honest discussion about the entrepreneurial journey. From presenting at a Bunker Labs pitch night where he met Otis, to navigating the challenge of growing both the archery market and his slice of it, Sam shares practical insights about building a business around a lifestyle. Whether discussing the importance of eye placement in archery (and life), the cost of recovering arrows from steel targets, or the philosophy of "no scorecards, no egos," this episode offers lessons for anyone trying to turn their passion into sustainable business.Whether you're a veteran transitioning to entrepreneurship, an outdoor enthusiast interested in archery, or a business owner trying to balance growth strategies, Sam's journey from competitive archer to community builder provides a roadmap for creating something meaningful that serves others while doing what you love.More About Sam:Sam Westfall is an Army veteran, entrepreneur, competitive archer, and veteran community builder who believes archery can change lives. With decades of experience in hunting and shooting sports, he works to create opportunities for veterans and civilians alike to find challenge, camaraderie, and healing through the discipline of the bow.Chapter Times and Titles:Introduction: The Real Deal, No AI Here [00:00 - 03:04]Welcome and meet Sam WestfallArmy veteran, entrepreneur, and competitive archerThe authenticity check: proving it's really SamSetting up the archery conversation"Eye Placement Is Everything" [03:04 - 12:21]The importance of eye placement in archeryHow focus and discipline translate from bow to lifeThe fundamentals that matter mostWhy archery requires such precisionFrom Lifestyle to Business: The Archery in Motion Story [12:21 - 13:04]How Sam converted bow hunting into entrepreneurshipMeeting Otis at Bunker Labs pitch nightThe veterans into business programPresenting Archery in Motion for the first time"I Break Every One of Those Rules" [13:04 - 32:06]Traditional archery tournament rules and restrictionsWhy Sam went his own directionSteel targets, moving targets, and challenging shotsCreating space for both beginners and expertsThe philosophy: "Let them experience what archery should be—fun"No Scorecards, No Egos [32:06 - 30:50]The fun shoot approach vs. traditional competitionBuilding community without the pressurePlanning one true competition later in the yearWhy most events focus on play, not performanceGrowing the Slice vs. Growing the Pie [30:50 - 32:44]Camden's question about growth philosophyGetting more people into archery overallBeing the best option within the archery marketThe mix of both strategies in Sam's approachWelcoming brand new archers with low barriers to entryThe Cost of Missing Steel Targets [32:44 - 32:06]Otis's Alaska archery certification storyShooting at steel silhouettes with vital zonesClassmates spending extra to recover arrowsTh

Become a Pattern Hunter: Own Your Revenue or Remove the Chaos, Grow Your Profit with Rion Westfall Find Rocky Lalvani @ www.ProfitComesFirst.com or email him at rocky@profitcomesfirst.com Feeling busy but the business isn't getting more profitable? In this episode, Rocky sits down with Rion Westfall, founder of the Own Your Revenue program, to break down why most SMBs struggle to scale, and how to fix it with systems, SOPs, and a healthier definition of accountability. You'll hear practical frameworks to reduce chaos, get your team engaged (without micromanaging), and start spotting the revenue patterns that drive 7–8 figure growth. Learning Insights Accountability isn't punishment, it's engagement. When people treat accountability as "I'm going to get in trouble," they avoid it. When it's framed as ownership and mental presence, it becomes a culture driver. Systems are what make scale possible, not talent. McDonald's-level consistency comes from procedures that allow any capable person to step in and produce the same result. If it's not written down, it's a liability. If it is written down, it's an asset. Documentation (SOPs, checklists, recordings) turns fragile tribal knowledge into a transferable business asset. Leaders must stop being the bottleneck. If the owner is always the one who "just does it faster," the business can't grow beyond the owner's time and energy. Train once, capture it, and turn it into an SOP. Record the training (video/screen/audio), use tools to organize it into steps, then hand ownership to the team member to maintain and improve the system. Don't organize the company by titles; organize it by problems to solve. Rebuilding an org chart around the actual problems the business must solve reveals gaps, overlaps, and misaligned roles fast. "Busy" is not the same as "effective." A company (or leader) can log massive hours and still lack clarity on expectations, outcomes, and priorities; time spent doesn't equal results. Small improvements in the right lever create outsized profit. The game isn't doing more work; it's finding the few operational/financial levers where a slight change materially improves profit. Engage the frontline to extract "gold nuggets." Employees often know what's broken and what would fix it; the owner's job is to pull those insights out, quantify them, and systemize the best ideas. Documented systems increase enterprise value and sellability. When processes are clear and repeatable, the business is easier to transfer, scale, franchise, or sell, often at a better multiple. Big Takeaway If your business feels "busy" but profits aren't improving, the problem usually isn't effort; it's a lack of a documented, repeatable system that creates accountability and consistent results. This episode's core message is that accountability works best when it's treated as engagement and ownership, not punishment, and that sustainable growth happens when leaders stop doing the work themselves and instead invest in building the procedures, standards, and feedback loops that let the team execute without constant oversight. When you turn tribal knowledge into written (or recorded) SOPs and invite employees to improve them, you reduce chaos, strengthen culture, and create a business that can scale and sell. Bio Rion is the founder the Own Your Revenue program. Built specifically for SMBs to tactically hunt revenue patterns that expedite 7-8 figure growth. Rion is not your average entrepreneur—he's a battle-tested builder of businesses with global experience and gritty stories that resonate with founders at every stage. From specialty projects with the Department of Defense as a mechanical engineer with secret clearance… To scaling companies internationally through strategic business development and high-stakes industrial projects… Rion's journey is anything but conventional. He's worked in over 15 countries. He speaks fluent English and Spanish. And he's built nine companies—across solo ventures, family-run businesses, joint ventures, and private equity-backed disruptors. Rion doesn't just talk about business success—he's lived through the wins and the tough lessons. And now, he's channeling all of that into a mission-driven approach to help SMBs thrive. If your audience is made up of founders, operators, or growers of small or mid-sized business… Rion brings stories, strategies, and frameworks that inspire and deliver immediate value. He's passionate, sharp, and brings real talk about what it takes to scale in today's landscape. Links Website: https://www.537bd.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rion-westfall-own-your-revenue-business/ Conclusion Rion's perspective blends an engineering mindset with real-world operator experience: clarity creates power, and power creates action. When owners slow down long enough to build systems, define what "good" looks like, and assign roles based on the real problems the company must solve, they stop being the bottleneck. The result is a business that runs with less stress, stronger accountability, and more predictable revenue without the owner having to be the daily enforcer. If you got value from this episode, do me a favor: share it with one founder or operator who's stuck being the doer instead of the leader. Text it to them, post it to LinkedIn, or drop it in your ops group. This is the stuff that helps businesses scale in the real world.

Saturday Morning - Julie Westfall - seminar by Hume Ministries
In the latest Mobile Views podcast, Todd Ogasawara and Jon Westfall discuss Apple's recent product announcements, focusing more on software than hardware. They note that the new operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS, are where users will see the most significant changes, with updates scheduled to be released on September 15th. The new operating systems have a "liquid glass" design, which changes the overall look and navigation. They also touch on the new iPhone "Air," which they theorize may be a precursor to a foldable phone, as it is a result of Apple's research and development for foldable technology. They also share their thoughts on other new products and features. Ogasawara and Westfall express disappointment that the new AirPods Pro did not include an LCD display case or a thermometer, features they were hoping for. Ogasawara also discusses his experience with the Google Pixel 10 Pro's AI features, including the built-in thermometer. They also talk about the new sleep score feature on watchOS 26 and the upcoming hypertension detection. Finally, they express their frustration with the lack of progress in phone technology, reminiscing about a time when new features like GPS and Wi-Fi were added every year, and they suggest that people who upgrade every two or three years will find the changes more exciting than those who upgrade annually.
In 1966 a number of teachers and students witnessed what seemed like a UFO invasion with at least one flying saucer landing for a short time. Authorities swept in, with some witnesses even claiming they had been threatened by government agents and men wearing black suits. Nearly sixty years later the mystery remains. Listen to learn more.

n their latest "MobileViews 574" podcast, hosts Todd Ogasawara and Dr. Jon Westfall navigated through significant tech news and offered practical advice. A notable development discussed was the discontinuation of AOL's dial-up internet access on September 30, 2025, marking the end of an era for the once-pioneering service. The conversation also touched upon Microsoft's decision to retire its Microsoft Lens app from iOS and Android devices, effective September 15, 2025, with full support ending November 15. Todd, who uses Lens to de-skew photos of doodles and whiteboards, is now seeking alternatives, with suggestions including Microsoft 365 Copilot app, OSS Document Scanner, Genius Scan, and Google Lens. This led to a humorous digression about the differing "personalities" of AI tools like Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini. Shifting to essential tips, Dr. Westfall provided a comprehensive "back-to-school tech roundup" for students. Key recommendations included USB drives with encrypted partitions for secure and compatible file transfer, and small thermal printers such as the Phomemo M04AS for quick, inexpensive prints like QR codes or notes. A Belkin 2-in-1 MagSafe Wireless Charging Dock was suggested for convenience, supporting iPhone's StandBy mode. For car-owning students, a portable jump starter (like the NOCO Boost GB40) and a mobile tire inflator (such as the DENVIX Tire Inflator) were highlighted as essential safety tools that also function as power banks and lights. Practical, inexpensive items like a packable rain hat (e.g., Soxbang Waterproof Bucket Rain Hat) and a towel were also recommended for unexpected weather. Finally, both hosts emphasized the critical need for a backup plan for all critical technology, leveraging cloud storage and considering extended warranties, along with the "three-day rule" for assignments to mitigate stress. This last point was underscored by observations about some students' reluctance to even use two-factor authentication for campus email due to perceived inconvenience.

In "Mobile Views 567," Todd Ogasawara and Jon Westfall discuss various tech topics, starting with Ogasawara's review of a new 4K webcam with stereo speakers and AI-powered digital zoom and voice tracking, which he is very pleased with. They then delve into a "rant" about the ongoing debate regarding tablets, specifically the sentiment that iPads should be more like Macs. Both speakers express their disagreement with this idea, with Westfall highlighting that many people, including himself, have valid use cases for tablets that differ from laptops or phones. They liken this to past skepticism surrounding smartwatches and the need for a monthly calendar view in older versions of Windows Mobile, suggesting a fundamental misunderstanding of diverse user needs by some tech enthusiasts and developers. The conversation also covers Ogasawara's experience with Adobe Project Indigo, a free photography app for iPhone that shoots in raw format, and the release of Android 16. Todd cautions against purchasing unbranded budget Android tablets due to a lack of OS and security updates. Finally, they brainstorm ideas for future "bionic devices" and "smart jewelry," expressing a desire for more innovative wearables beyond current fitness trackers. These concepts include a Vision Pro with an integrated battery, AR smart glasses with built-in vision correction and recording, and advanced bone-conducting headphones.

EVERYONE IN THE tiny Harney County town of Westfall knew something bad was going to happen after City Marshal Asa Carey was fired for the second time. Carey had been an odd pick for city marshal, but maybe he'd been given the job because he wanted it badly — and Carey was a dangerous man to say “no” to. Basically, he was the “Bad Bad Leroy Brown” of Westfall ... right down to the “.32 gun in his pocket for fun,” about which more in a red-hot minute. And the town council really should have known better. This was not Carey's first time being entrusted with the town marshal's baton. His first term in office had gone a long way toward demonstrating to everyone in Westfall that giving the “meanest man in the whole damn town” a badge was bad for business. In fact, Carey appears to have been one of the main reasons the town had a regional reputation as a nest of hooligans. In 1906, while serving as marshal, Carey had gunned down fellow Westfall resident Frank Cammeron in a fight. He was acquitted on a plea of self-defense; but three years after that, he got in a fistfight with 80-year-old Dan Brady and beat the frail octogenarian to death. Both of these little incidents had made headlines statewide. The Brady incident appears to have been the point at which the town council replaced Carey as town marshal, ending his first term of office by appointing a hardware-store clerk named Ben Corbett to the position. Doubtless the town's business leaders breathed a sigh of relief. But 'Bad Bad Asa Carey' wasn't going to go quietly .... (Westfall, Malheur County; 1910s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/2502c.westfall-gunfight-asa-carey-689.515.html)

In this episode, Stacy Westfall explores three key challenges in reading horse body language and how misinterpretation can affect horse-human relationships. Unlike human communication, which combines words and body language, horses rely solely on physical expression, making accurate interpretation crucial. The first challenge involves understanding that horses naturally fall into two categories: stoic (calm, less expressive) and animated (energetic, expressive). The second challenge occurs when horses become well-trained, often appearing less animated but not necessarily less engaged or emotional. Westfall uses her horse Newt as an example, showing how a horse can maintain its personality while developing focus. The third challenge involves the tendency to cluster behaviors and emotions, like associating playfulness with happiness or stoicism with boredom. Westfall cautions against these assumptions and recommends verbalizing what you think you're seeing in your horse to become more aware of your interpretations. This episode provides valuable insights for horse owners seeking to better understand their equine partners' communication styles.
This week we talk about Duane's trip to Waynesfield for the BOSS sprint car finale, the Monster Mash at Montpelier Speedway and some more of the silly season moves that happened this past week. We also talk about the USAC sprint cars in OK where our Ohio brethren took a win.
Stacy Westfall discusses the overuse of the phrase "I'm sorry" in everyday situations and how it relates to horsemanship. She recounts observing excessive apologizing in a workshop setting and at grocery stores, questioning whether these apologies are genuine expressions of remorse or habitual responses. Westfall emphasizes the importance of understanding one's emotional defaults and how they impact interactions with horses. She encourages riders to examine why they apologize during lessons or while sharing arena space, suggesting that many of these apologies are unnecessary and may stem from misplaced feelings of inadequacy. Westfall advocates for clearer communication and understanding of riding etiquette to reduce the need for constant apologies. The podcast also touches on the emotions involved in buying and selling horses, prompting listeners to reflect on their initial emotional responses to these situations.
