## Resource

We are thrilled to report that Deric is back. He’s fresh out of the hospital after an emergency surgery. While he was stuck in a hospital bed eavesdropping on a mysterious old lady who woke up with a broken hip, Eric has been watching the charred remains of his neighbor's house get picked apart by a ServPro investigation team. We've got some serious concerns about local construction safety after Eric witnessed a roofer being dangled by his ankles over a three-story drop just to staple down some Tyvek wrap. We also dive deep into the underbelly of scammy marketing emails, using ChatGPT to break down exactly how these "agencies" can magically guarantee you $3,000 a day in extra revenue without any risk. Plus, Deric shares his new favorite strategy for dealing with telemarketers.Zac shares some behind-the-scenes struggles from his recent course launch, proving that troubleshooting tech glitches is a universal nightmare.
