    Is QuickBooks Desktop for Construction Contractors Being Discontinued?

    There have been rumors about QuickBooks Desktop being retired for many years, yet QuickBooks Online still isn't the same capability level as Intuit's older software for contractors.

    Topics we cover in this episode include:

    • Recent announcements from Intuit on QuickBooks Online 
    • QuickBooks Desktop became a subscription model in 2022
    • QuickBooks stopped selling the payroll subscription to the general public
    • Other accounting software options
    • Key things to look for in bookkeeping software

    Unconventional Wisdom in Construction Industry Success

    Unconventional Wisdom in Construction Industry Success

    In a traditional business, there is conventional wisdom that generally holds true no matter what. Construction is an industry with several of its own differences that defy a traditional solution. Today we are exploring some of those things and why you shouldn't always listen to the common answer, because it might not all be true.

    Topics we cover in this episode include:

    • Myth: If I get to X dollars in reenue, life will be easier
    • Myth: Accounting is the same for construction as it is for other industries
    • Misconceptions around subcontractors being bonded back
    • Myth: I always have to be the lowest bidder
    • Myth: all projects are similar
    • Myth: Profitability is solely about cutting costs

    The Iran-Contra Affair

    The Iran-Contra Affair

    "To err is human"
    That should have been President Reagan's opening line while addressing the country after Iran-Contra came to light. Instead it was a lot of half apologies and half truths.  After repeated congressional amendments to stop the White House from funding the rebel Contra group trying to take power in Nicaragua, and negotiating the release of U.S. prisoners with back alley arms deals, the operation needed to be pulled together in secret. Reagan pulled out his moral compass which pointed to the North, Oliver North to be exact. Ollie facilitated the extra cash from the arms deal to fund the Contras. It all worked until a magazine article, and a plane crash tanked the whole operation. Listen in to hear how it all came crashing down.

    Nintendo Gamecube

    Nintendo Gamecube

    We're wrapping up our deep dive on Nintendo with this week's episode of the Generation 'S' podcast as we take a look at the Nintendo Gamecube. 

    It really was a unique console, from the fact that it was shaped like a cube, it was purple, plus it came with a handle on the back so you could bring it to a friend's house.  I would honestly say it's probably the weakest performing console that we've discussed this month, but don't get me wrong, it was a great little system!   

    In this episode, we'll also be discussing some of the best and worst games that have stood the test of time on the GameCube.  From classics like Super Smash Bros. Melee and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, to titles that might not have aged as gracefully.

    So whether you're a die-hard GameCube fan or just curious about this beloved console, grab your Wavebird Wireless Controller and join us for this nostalgic journey back to a simpler time in gaming history on Generation 'S'!

    Nintendo 64

    Nintendo 64

    Today, we're talking about the Nintendo 64,  a console that holds a special place in the hearts of many gamers who grew up in the 90s.  The N64 was released over TWENTY FIVE years ago, and quickly became a go-to source of entertainment for kids across the globe.  I mean, how could you forget those late night sleepovers playing GoldenEye 007, racing around the tracks in Mario Kart 64, or decimating friendships in Super Mario Party?

    The N64 was a console that brought people together, with its four controller ports that allowed you to play with friends and family.   But it  wasn't just a console, it was a gateway to memories that will last a lifetime.   So grab your rumble-pak, plug in your expansion pack, and join us as my buddy Derek and I reminisce about the Nintendo 64, its classic games, and the moments we shared with friends and family, on Generation S.

    Super Nintendo (SNES)

    Super Nintendo (SNES)

    We're onto part 2 of our journey through the world of Nintendo. In this episode, Lou and I are taking a deep dive into one of the most iconic consoles of all time: the Super Nintendo. From classic titles like Super Mario World and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, to hidden gems like Earthbound and Ninja Turtles Tournament Fighters, it's not out of left field to say that the Super Nintendo was truly the pinnacle of 2D gaming back in the 90s.  It introduced and perfected so many genres in gaming that are still around to this day.  

    We'll be exploring the unforgettable moments and experiences that made this console a beloved part of our childhoods, from our earliest memories of the SNES, to an evaluation of which games hold up today, and which games are straight trash.  

    So grab your controller, pop in your favorite game, and enjoy our discussion of the Super Nintendo, on Generation 'S'.
