In another episode of Carl Ulinski's Building Local Business podcast, electronics whiz Michael Taylor of Tailored Computer Care recounts his journey from self-taught coder and National Guard military police officer to full-time tech troubleshooter.
Kicking off as a 2009 side hustle amid deployments and night classes, Taylor hit pause on repairs—until a 2023 epiphany led him to ditch corporate gigs for good. Now thriving in Ilion's Central Plaza (next to LabCorp and Dollar General), he's rebuilt his shop bigger and better, partnering with the Ship & Print store for seamless shipping and printing synergies.
Seve Cully with Coach Dave Scuman, VOICE OF REASON FRANK CRISTIANO, and me as we continue to discuss the government shutdown. Small Business owners are unhappy and concerned as the shutdown enters its 5th week; they are losing billions of dollars in government funding. We talk about the outrageous cost of college tuition. For many schools, it's between 70 K and 90 K, and that's why this generation is disenfranchised. Kids are spending a small fortune, graduating with degrees, and expecting to start a 6-figure-income job. Frank and Dave discuss the loss of "sweat equity" as Frank shares that he grew up in a small house, while his father worked as much as he could to save money. After he scraped together enough cash, he started his own business, Tony's Pizzeria, in Washington Mills, which Frank runs today. Dave moved in with his father and built his company from the ground up, doing football camps. It took years to become successful. The guys believe social media has corrupted our society. Young people see these influencers driving nice cars, living in mansions, and they want it. Damn it, they spent $300,000 on a college education and deserve that lifestyle. They are impulsive and don't want to save money, work for that life; it has to happen NOW!
This week I talk about college football and the firing of coaches going on. Universities are spending so much money now on players, coaching salaries are high, they don't have time to wait. It has been hit or miss. We catch up on the NFL and do the NY Giants have a franchise QB in Jaxson Dart?
In the next episode, Judge Gregory Amoroso pulls back the curtain on a legal career that zigzagged from summer camp counselor to negotiating Woodstock '99 contracts at 3 a.m. On the latest episode of the Small Town Life podcast, host Dave Warner questions the lifelong Rome resident about his run for New York State Supreme Court – a seat covering six counties and over a million people.
With early voting just days away on October 25 and Election Day on November 4, Mayor Deborah Kaufman returned to The Inside View podcast for her sixth chat with host Ralph Renzulli, delivering a candid update on the city's fiscal tightrope, a pivotal ballot referendum, and glimmers of hope amid ongoing challenges.

All New Rebel Republic with Steve Cully and the VOICE OF REASON, FRANK CRISTIANO. Coach Schuman had to miss because his team was playing a game. We started by discussing the release of hostages, which Hamas provided after negotiations with President Trump and Israel followed soon after, doing the same. We dive deep into the Government shutdown. Is there an end in sight? Both Republicans and Democrats have drawn lines in the sand, and nobody seems ready to budge. Funny how in history, the longest government shutdown was in 2017, lasted 35 days, and it was with President Trump as well. He went after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Shumar, saying he is making poor decisions and the Democrats lack any kind of leadership. We finish by talking about New York City Mayoral Candidate Mr. Mamdani and the $13,000 that he received in campaign finance donations from outside the United States. It is illegal to accept foreign donations. Recently, his mother-in-law gave $500, and all the money will have to be returned. It's a simple drop in the bucket; Mamdani has a warchest that will blow the other candidates out of the water.
Gerard J. Snyder, a lifelong Upstate New Yorker and Dolgeville attorney, steps into the political arena in a revealing episode of the Small Town Life podcast, hosted by Dave Warner on the Studio 25 Podcast Network.
All New Rebel Republic with Steve Cully, Coach Schuman, VOICE OF REASON FRANK CRISTIANO, and Senior Political Correspondent Tyler King. We discuss the government shutdown and how no end seems to be in sight, plus it doesn't look like either side wants to resolve the issues. Republicans are using the shutdown to blame Democrats, saying they are rejecting every offer being made, and blaming them to hopefully gain more support. Democrats say Republicans are stalling, stalemating them at every turn. Democratic Minority leader Chuck Shumur has to take a hard line because he was harshly criticized last time when he caved. It does not appear to have an end in sight.
In the next episode of the Building Local Business podcast, host Carl Ulinski sits down with Donna Marie Aiello, the spirited new owner of Aiello's Laundromat in Herkimer, New York.
