"Our boys wanted to take their longboard skateboards with them to Florida so we asked the Skycap this morning whether they needed to be checked, or carried on. He said they were fine to carry them on, but we were still nervous they wouldn't allow them. They stowed them in a coat closet for us on the first leg of the flight due to their size, so we thought we were good. When Melissa got to the airport in Phoenix for her connecting flight however, the Pilot walked up to our boys and said 'I'm sorry boys, but those boards need to be inspected to ensure they are safe for the flight.' Then he asked if he could see the first one and to our boys surprise, he rode it all the way down the Jetway. He walked back up with the 1st board and said 'okay, now the other one.' Then he grabbed that one and rode it down the jetway. He walked back up and said 'Okay boys, these are now Pilot approved, enjoy your flight!' " 🙂 Credit: Ryan Willden

Want to add another $1M in revenue to your business in under 30 minutes? Here's what's crazy. 97% of local businesses do this wrong. Because they set up their Google Profile years ago just to get it done and move on to the next thing. "We'll go back and fix it up later." Then later never comes. What they don't realize is that those decisions they rushed years ago, they are KILLING their ability to rank and grow. I can go on and on with stories of businesses that blew up with just a few small tweaks. A local plumber who jumped 54% on their primary search term in under 2 weeks. A local detailing shop that jumped from 0% to 61% share of a major keyword in under 30 days. A local roofing company that added nearly $2M in annual revenue in 12 months, which all started with these exact steps. All of these businesses had small problems they overlooked and it cost them MILLIONS in revenue and WASTED YEARS! And it's BIG BUSINESSES too. I just talked to a $5M HVAC company yesterday that is getting TONS of reviews and cannot understand what the problem is. So he's basically knocking doors all day instead of just addressing the problem. But I have seen these problems 1,000 times! Because with Google Maps and local ranking, it's not about EFFORT, it's about ORGANIZATION. Wrong organization, and your effort is worthless. It's like pushing your Lamborghini to work all because you don't want the two second hassle to check and see that the battery isn't connected. Just a few small changes and you'll be ripping down the road! So let me give you the solution. Our new local SEO guide for 2025. Hot off the presses. This guide will show you, IN UNDER 30 MINUTES, everything you need to do right now to fix the problems on your Google Profile and get back on the road. You'll be amazed how much one small problem has been killing you this entire time. I hate giving away this kind of information for free, so we're going to start selling it soon, but right now you can get this for absolutely no cost. Get it for yourself, your assistant, or even your web/marketing/ads/email/crm/coding guy and have them do it for you. All you have to do is like, repost, and comment "SMASH" and I'll send it to you. Get the latest local SEO guide for 2025 and find out EXACTLY what you need to do right now to optimize your Google Profile and open up the flood gate for local leads and profit. Let's GO!!!!!

RIP Bob Uecker 🙏 Last season, Tom Rinaldi did a special sit-down interview with Mr. Baseball, where he reflected on his experiences and the moments that made him a beloved figure in the sport. 💙💛

What happened to forced positivity on this platform? Once again, my feed is flooded with ignorant mouth breathers spouting off on topics without any education. Despite my best efforts to mute them and not respond to them, I keep getting more of it.

There is something highly ironic (and frustrating) about getting flagged spam calls to my Google voice number from Google voice numbers.

My dog has figured out that the Life360 notification ding on my phone means someone is home. He's gets confused every time my son arrives at school though.

If you’re wondering why I love CBB so much, it’s because the entire country rallies around a future Northwestern Mutual Agent absolutely cooking NBA lottery picks.

Why are things expensive? 4 companies control 55% to 85% of the meat market. 4 airlines control 80% of air travel. 3 companies control 92% of the soda market. 3 companies control 73% of the cereal market. Why don't I hear about it? 6 companies control 90% of the news.

Remember when you could lay in one position for hours, now you have to rotate like a rotisserie chicken every 15 minutes or a hip hurts.
