Kerri Smith is the executive director of Rice Alliance's Clean Energy Accelerator. The program, which launched last year, is currently accepting applications for its second class that will run later this year.

We did everything our former doctor suggested for our little one, and she only got worse, until we said enough is enough. This week, I am sharing our journey with discontinuing meds and using supplements in her healing. Reversing the damage of meds and healing naturally is a LONG road. Most doctors won't understand. The people in your life won't either until they start to see the healing occur. And It can be very isolating and defeating until then. A mantra if you're doing the same today, “today is not forever and my future self will thank you for your dedication and sacrifice today”.   *Note: As you know I'm not a medical professional and cannot give real medical advice, this is just our story which, I hope, will help you.  Join us in the conversation.

We have done it! We have reached 600 episodes of the podcast. It's mind-blowing that this podcast has come so far. To celebrate, in this episode of The Art of Online Business, I want to share 6 lessons I have learned in 600 episodes. These business lessons have all been a direct result of building and growing this podcast. These lessons have taught me so much about podcasting, business, and life and I am now able to run my business in a way that is more congruent to my strengths, my values, and what success means to me. If you don't run your business through the filter of your values, I really encourage you to start doing that. Success looks different for everybody, and I hope these tips will help you get clarity on that. Even though we have been at it for 600 episodes, I feel like we are just getting started. I still have so much cool stuff coming your way! So I want to take a moment to thank you so much for making this possible. I appreciate you showing up every week, hitting that follow button, and helping me turn this podcast into what it is now. I'm looking forward to taking everything that I have learned in the past 600 episodes, learning from it, and moving forward. In this episode, you'll learn:Not being afraid to do things differentlyHow consistency will grow your businessWhy simplicity scalesUsing your values as a filter in your businessLinks & Resources:The Art of Online Business websiteDM me on InstagramVisit my YouTube channelThe Art of Online Business clips on YouTubeFull episodes of The Art of Online Business Podcast on YouTubeThe Art of Online Business Podcast websiteCheck out my Accelerator coaching program*Disclosure: I only recommend products I use and love and all opinions expressed here are my own.

I talk in my workshops and trainings, and in my Accelerator program, about how important it is to be intentional about building your organization's internal capacity if you want to grow in a way that is sustainable.  By this I mean having the right people in the right roles within your ecosystem. But what does that look like in practice?  In this short mini-training I talk about two principles to use when hiring in order to fuel and support your growth:  hiring to give you more time for high-leverage activities and hiring for ownership rather than execution.

Episode SummaryVice President of Innovation at Produce Marketing Association, Vonnie Estes is driven by a passion for agriculture, sustainability and wanting to make an impact on serious issues such as climate change and broken supply chains. Today, Vonnie and Harry engage in a rich discussion on Plant Pathology, educating consumers on vertical farming, and promoting diversity in the AgTech industry. Vonnie shares lessons she's learned from working at big corporations such as Monsanto, Syngenta and DuPont, and her mission to immerse others into the produce industry. Thanks to Our SponsorsCultivatd – https://cultivatd.com/ (https://cultivatd.com/) Key Takeaways07:13 – Harry welcomes Vice President of Innovation at Produce Marketing Association, Vonnie Estes, to discuss the work she's doing in Produce and some of the recent vertical farming conferences she's attended 11:08 – Genetic Engineering & Plant Pathology 13:55 – Lessons Vonnie learned from working at Monsanto, Syngenta and DuPont 17:52 – Vonnie's vertical farming origin story 23:43 – What drives and motivates Vonnie 26:16 – The importance of promoting diversity in the AgTech industry and immersing others into the produce industry 32:25 – Vonnie goes into detail about ongoing projects at Produce Marketing Association 45:00 – The importance of educating consumers on AgTech and vertical farming 48:14 – A tough question Vonnie has asked herself recently and what excites her most about the future of AgTech 50:08 – Harry thanks Vonnie for joining the show and lets listeners know where they can learn more about Fresh Produce Tweetable Quotes“I think for big companies like that, being willing to let people try new things and let it fail, and try different technologies, and keep it a little bit separate from your ongoing revenue-generating business is a really smart way to do it.” (15:35) (Vonnie) “In part of my work with Caribou when I was looking at spinning out this Ag group, what I really wanted to focus on was what breeding could we do for vertical farms? If you're growing something inside, does the architecture of the plant need to be different? What are some of the traits you can work with? And so, I was really thinking about breeding for vertical farms.” (20:43) (Vonnie) “I've always been driving by [wanting to make an impact]. I think, especially at this time looking at some of the scary macro-drivers around supply chain, and climate change, and some of the other issues we're facing. And looking at human health and how people need to eat, we can have a big impact on that, on how we grow our food and what food we grow and what food people eat.” (23:51) (Vonnie) “One thing I would say - just to plug some of the work I'm doing currently - is I just started this Accelerator. It's not an Accelerator in the typical sense where we're not taking any equity, there's no big prize or pitch day. But what we're trying to do is bring in technology from either different industries or from different countries into the produce industry.” (26:52) (Vonnie) “I am thinking a lot about what I can do, from a technology and innovation point of view, to help that part of the industry. And some of the early-stage issues are different.” (38:00) (Vonnie) “With climate change and some of the health issues, the way we grow our food and the food we grow is so important right now. I feel like we're at this amazing time where on one side we've got all these different technologies that we can bring in that can be a solution to these huge problems that we're facing as a world.” (49:34) (Vonnie) Resources MentionedVertical Farming Show – https://verticalfarmingshow.com/ (https://verticalfarmingshow.com/) Produce Marketing Association Website – https://www.freshproduce.com/ (https://www.freshproduce.com/) Vonnie's LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/vonnieestes/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/vonnieestes/) Vonnie's Podcast –...

If you have a team, you will inevitably experience frustration with them. This comes up a lot in my Accelerator program because it's something that happens to everyone (whether you are just starting out with a team or you already have a team), so in this episode of The Art of Online Business, I am listing out a few exercises that you can do if this is something you are going through right now. As CEOs in our business, we must take responsibility for our own actions, so the first step is always to take a look at yourself and your own leadership. As the owner of your business, it is your responsibility to identify what isn't working and find ways to make it better. This simple exercise is one that I have done countless times in my business and it is game-changing. Every time I try it, I learn something new.  This will help you change the way you look at the issues you are facing by taking a step back, removing the names from the equation,  and determining if you have the right people in the right seats. When everyone on your team is pulling towards the same mission and vision for your business and providing an amazing experience, that's where the magic happens. Everyone on the team is in a position where they do well and serve the business in the best way possible. In this episode, you'll learn:How to examine your leadership to identify ways to improve How to get clarity on what you really need on your team and the qualities and roles neededMaking changes to your team to put everyone in positions where they thrive Links & Resources:The Art of Online Business websiteDM me on InstagramVisit my YouTube channelThe Art of Online Business clips on YouTubeFull episodes of The Art of Online Business Podcast on YouTubeThe Art of Online Business Podcast websiteCheck out my Accelerator coaching program*Disclosure: I only recommend products I use and love and all opinions expressed here are my own.

Welcome to Grit & Growth's masterclass on corporate governance, featuring Alexey Volynets of International Finance Corporation. From what structures make sense to employ, and when in the life cycle of your business you should use them, Volynets provides advice and insights on how corporate governance can be a powerful tool for your business.While many entrepreneurs fear corporate governance because they believe it means more legal constraints and less control, Volynets wants to change the way founders of small to medium-size enterprises think about governance. He has been researching and teaching companies about the ins and outs of corporate governance for years and understands why it's so challenging. “It's really hard to let go. It's hard to delegate. It's hard to allow people from outside the company to make huge strategic decisions on what it should do,” he acknowledges. But Volynets believes there comes a time in every company's journey when leaders have to delegate and formalize systems and structures to support growth.Top Six Masterclass Takeaways Corporate governance goes beyond boards. Volynets defines it quite simply: it's about how companies are directed and controlled. And second, it's when companies have created structured policies that “mean you can take a vacation for three weeks and not be afraid your business will fall apart while you're away.”The stage of your business makes a difference. You don't have to have all your corporate governance structures done on day one. What makes sense for a mature, expanding business is far different than an early stage startup.Don't be afraid to ask for external advice. And the earlier you start thinking about it, the better. It can be formal or informal, but relying on others with expertise you don't have in-house is essential.Build a good management team, too. A good board of directors needs to have a partner in the company beyond the CEO. And realistically, in the early days when resources are strapped, your management team can perform many of the functions you'll later assign to a board. Don't wait to create an organizational chart. While you're focusing on growth, adding people and units, you need to start formalizing your organization's key functions, and what those key functions actually do. And it might just come in handy for succession if one of your key people suddenly leaves. Ease into corporate governance with an advisory board. It can be a great stepping-stone as you formalize governance structures.Listen to Volynets' insights, advice, timing, and strategies for how you can ease into and ultimately formalize and manage a board when the time is right.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Techstination interview: Amazon's AWS launches accelerator to boost start-ups from under-served entrepreneurs

Elizabeth A. Tuleja, the founder of the Intercultural Leader Institute, spoke to Rudolf Falat, founder of the Voice of FinTech podcast, about the importance of intercultural management, leadership and communication skills essential for start-ups scaling up out of their home market.In more detail, they covered:  Elizabeth's journey in intercultural management and leadership As defined by Jim Collins in the book Built to last, visionary companies are the ones that outperformed their peers over decades. The key to their success was reliance on the core company ideology, balancing continuity and progress over decades. One of the features is a cult-like culture. Most of these companies are US-headquartered multinationals. So how do American companies handle working with different cultures when they have expanded worldwide? Start-ups often struggle to survive and perhaps don't think about company culture until they grow up. Can you concisely and purposely create a company culture that you want? If yes, what's better and worse, company culture? How do you do business in a world that seems to be in permanent crisis for at least the last two years?  Gender diversity: what can companies' leaders do to improve it further? You wrote a post on LinkedIn recently that acceptance doesn't mean agreement. What does it mean and how do you make that clear across different cultures? Where do you agree with Prof. Gert Hofstede regarding his views on intercultural management, and where do you differ?

Back in episode number 567 we talked about Facebook ads tracking and how to improve the validity of your data.Today I'm here to tell you that Facebook ads are dead, unless you do what I'm talking about today.Facebook ads really aren't dead, but I want to dive into and piggyback off of episode 567, which talked about the validity of data and how we improve it.To understand how well your ads are doing you need to do what I call “triangulating the data.” You basically take data from multiple sources: Facebook ads manager, Google analytics, and your email CRM.There are other tools that you can use, but essentially what I talked about in that episode is taking data from multiple sources, and then comparing each source to try to tell the story—to paint the picture of what's actually going on with your campaigns.Today I want to expand on what we talked about in episode 567, and talk about the latest advertising and data collection changes Facebook is making to their platform. In this episode, you'll learn:How Facebook is improving lead ads and data accuracyAn ad strategy that gives you a huge upper hand over your competitionHow to get the most out of Facebook's lead ad and data collection changesLinks & Resources:Episode 567: Facebook Ads Tracking: How to Improve the Validity of Your Data10XPROThe Art of Online Business websiteDM me on InstagramVisit my YouTube channelThe Art of Online Business clips on YouTubeFull episodes of The Art of Online Business Podcast on YouTubeThe Art of Online Business Podcast websiteCheck out my Accelerator coaching program*Disclosure: I only recommend products I use and love and all opinions expressed here are my own.

My group is amazing.”Well, I want to share with you a common theme that I've been seeing for years now. I see this time and time again when it comes to free Facebook groups: they're actually hurting your business.As with anything, there's always outliers and exceptions. People have communities that are actually worth their focus and their attention. They're being very intentional and strategic about the community.But more often than not these Facebook groups are actually doing your business more harm than good, and I'm going to share the top two reasons why in today's episode.In this episode, you'll learn:The challenges of being beholden to Facebook's algorithmAre you giving away too much content for free?Is your Facebook group sabotaging your paid membership?My recommendations for where to host your communityLinks & Resources:SuperFastBusinessThe SuperFastBusiness podcastFollow James Schramko on TwitterCircle10XPROThe Art of Online Business websiteDM me on InstagramVisit my YouTube channelThe Art of Online Business clips on YouTubeFull episodes of The Art of Online Business Podcast on YouTubeThe Art of Online Business Podcast websiteCheck out my Accelerator coaching program*Disclosure: I only recommend products I use and love and all opinions expressed here are my own.

This month we are featuring half of the 2022 DFA Accelerator class that kicked off earlier in April. There are six extremely innovative companies in this year's class. From on-farm sustainability and animal welfare to sustainable manufacturing techniques, the 2022 accelerator class is working to have a positive impact on the dairy industry.Over the next two episodes of Talk Dairy to Me, we are going to be introducing you to this year's class. Host Doug Dresslaer talked dairy with Reprohealth, Lemna and Smack'd chocolate milk.This month's dairy headlines:Ben & Jerry's brings back a fan-favorite flavor that features and ingredient from a DFA accelerator alum.https://vermontbiz.com/news/2022/march/17/ben-jerrys-brings-dublin-mudslide-back-graveyardDFA family-farm High Plains Ponderosa is partnering with Shell fuel to create a net-zero tomorrow.

Grief is hard.  No one expects to find themselves on the grief journey.  However, as life is known to throw curve balls, we must pivot and adjust to the seasons in which we find ourselves. Having the resources and support can make all the difference in the transition of grief.  When our guest found herself in the middle of grief after the loss of her mother, she saw a need and knew immediately that she wanted to feel that hole. She made it her life mission to help others that were dealing with the same type of grief.  She enrolled in the Neuro Coaching Certification Program and began working on her own limiting beliefs, such as “not enough,” and “not qualified.” As she worked through the brain science of our thoughts, she was able to overcome these obstacles. Now she uses that exact framework with her clients.  She is able to teach her clients to pay attention to their thoughts, especially as they navigate grief. Not all our thoughts are true or helpful. We are the creator of them, so we can refute and rewrite them. What a powerful tool and resource for those who have been thrust into the grief journey! In this episode of the Epic Success Podcast, I am talking with Caro Brookings, a suicide bereavement coach. Her calling in life is to help others who have suffered the same fate. She is a Certified Neuro Coach and has successfully completed the ILCT Grief Coaching course, enabling her to give clients permanent transformations.   The biggest take-aways from today's episode are:   Transformation is in the transaction. Know your value. Be confident in your pricing. People will see that and value it as well. They will be more apt to go “all in” on something they see as valuable and they have invested in.   You are not responsible for your client's results. Clients ultimately have to take responsibility for their results. You give them the resources, knowledge, and accountability, but they still have to put in the work to see the results. Well done is better than perfect. Don't get stuck in trying to be perfect or wait for the perfect timing. Just start. Put yourself out there and start being consistent in your calling. It will be scary at first, but it will become a normal rhythm.  You can connect with Caro on Facebook or email.  Also, sign up for her FREE 5-day interview series on May 2nd - 6th and learn how to let go of your guilt, find peace, and move forward one day at a time.

You'll hear about them as we dive into this episode. It's been so fun to watch his journey. Zach is now a member of my Accelerator coaching program.One of the things that we're working on is growing and scaling his membership, and I love the name of it. It's called, Not Your Average Membership, and he has taken it to a six-figure run rate in about five months.I asked Zach to come on the show and share how he's done that. What's gone into it. How he launched it. Why it is a membership with an actual mission: he's very clear on who this is for and who it's not for. How he's leading with his values in creating this membership, and why it's always open for enrollment—it's not an open/close membership like you often hear about.We also get into the topic of membership churn. His churn rate has been fairly high, so we talk about what he's doing to reduce it, and how long it's going to take to see results.Zach is an open book, and he delivers a lot for you in today's episode.In this episode, you'll learn:Benefits of ongoing membership enrollmentHow Zach reached a 6-figure run rate in 6 monthsTips for increasing membership enrollmentAd strategies that workHow to launch your membershipWhy leading with your values pays offHow to build relationships with your membersStraight talk about churn ratesLinks & Resources:CircleThe Art of Online Business websiteDM me on InstagramVisit my YouTube channelThe Art of Online Business clips on YouTubeFull episodes of The Art of Online Business Podcast on YouTubeThe Art of Online Business Podcast websiteCheck out my Accelerator coaching programZach Spuckler's Links:Heart Soul & Hustle's websiteHeart Soul & Hustle's membershipFollow Zach on FacebookZach is on InstagramCheck out the Not Your Average Online Marketing Podcast Full show notes are available here

Every company wants to be innovative, but how do you balance the risk of innovation with the need to keep the lights on? Listen to this interview with Kapil Kane, Head of Innovation at Intel China, to find out. Learning notes from this episode: Most tech innovations die because they do not have a solid business case. As much as non-techies need to learn to speak tech, techies need to learn to speak business. “No matter how smart you are, if you are not able to get your idea across in the language of a lay person, you are missing out a lot,” says Kapil. To structure creativity within an organisation, Kapil advises learning from Apple, where teams often worked on projects that other teams did not know about. This meant that they could focus on their work, while upper management connected the dots. The innovation accelerator at Intel China Kapil set up brings in revenue, but that is not the only benefit. It serves as a training ground for ambitious people “If you are able to nurture your innovate talent in your organisation, you will grow them and they will deliver good results for you.” Resources mentioned in this episode: Innovate, but how? (Abstract): free guide on 6 types of innovation and how to know which one is right for you.

Is it time to consider an advisory board? And if so, why? What skills do you need? And how do you find the right people who are willing to help? Aashish Agarwaal, founder and chairman of the Enerji Group, and Alexey Volynets of the International Finance Corporation share entrepreneurial perspectives and corporate governance advice to help you figure out what's right for your company.Rare is the entrepreneur who is an expert at everything. Turning to others outside your company for advice can be essential for success. Formalizing that process with an advisory board is helping Aashish Agarwaal strategically transform Enerji Group, the digital publishing enterprise he founded in India. But it took awhile to figure out exactly what he needed, who could help, and how to run the board effectively.Alexey Volynets understands what Agarwaal had to go through to create the ideal advisory board. As an expert in corporate governance at the International Finance Corporation, he has been teaching companies about corporate governance for years.The most common manifestation of corporate governance is a board — fiduciary or advisory. Whereas fiduciary boards have financial liabilities, advisory boards are simply there to provide expertise that you may be lacking. “As you are growing, and when you are on the top of the world, it's important to have a check,” Volynets explains. “External advisors, especially very independent voices will ask you the right questions and will challenge your assumptions.”Agarwaal figured out who he needed by first identifying the skill gaps in his company and what strategic initiatives he needed help with and how often. He suggests “I would say first what are the gaps, and second, do you need that help on a consistent basis or intermittent basis? Because again, you have to decide how much investment you're going to make in it.” Finding the right people isn't easy, either. Volynets suggests the best place to look is your own networks to find the business people you trust with the criteria you need. But Volynets cautions entrepreneurs to avoid adding friends, suppliers, contractors, etc. to an advisory board, even if they have the requisite skills. He says “The most important characteristic is emotional independence.” Listen to Aashish's first hand experience on creating an advisory board and Alexey's insights on how to do it strategically and successfully when it's time to tap into the experience and expertise of other business leaders.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, we go deep into topics that traditional television could and would not go. Specifically, we talk about the war in Ukraine, and where all of this might end with our guest, Dmitri Alperovitch. We also talk about cyber threats, and how capable the US is against it. Dmitri Alperovitch is one of America's top cybersecurity experts. He is on the US homeland security advisory council, and the co-founder and former Chief Technology Officer of the $50 billion market cap CrowdStrike. Right now, he is also the chairman of Silverado Policy Accelerator. So when he talks about cyber threats and security, you'd best listen in. Achieving Escalation Dominance The conversation starts off with Dmitri explaining that the United States has the capability to take Russia off the internet. They could it temporarily, or even permanently – though it could prove complicated to do so. Both of which can be escalatory and provocative. Dmitri's point on this is that rather than slowly matching Russia's actions with certain sanctions or retaliating in a similar manner, the US can use this to send a message and stop those attacks from further escalating in the first place. “If they do launch those attacks, in my opinion, we need to be very thoughtful about our response. We need to make sure that we achieve escalation dominance, in that we stop those attacks that in their tracks that we send a very strong message to Moscow: that this is not going to be tolerated, this is not going to be acceptable.” – Dmitri Alperovitch Life Without Internet As to why this would serve as a great deterrent, Dmitri explains that while they could still send people to do cyberattacks on the US from other places, this would send a strong signal to make them think twice about it. Because like the rest of the world, they are also dependent on this digital resource to run their country. Nowadays, energy sectors, healthcare, and logistics see the highest usage rate for it. So in effect, shutting down their internet capabilities could have a strong effect on their economy as well. “The goal of the internet shutdown is not to stop cyber attacks; that is an impossibility because they can launch them from any place. And we're not going to go around the world shutting down countries from the internet. That's not an interest in the United States. The goal is to demonstrate the type of effect we can have on their economy, if they continue to judge those attacks from wherever they may launch them, from Russia or elsewhere.” – Dmitri Alperovitch Though Dmitri warns that this should only be done as a retaliatory action or response to an attack, rather than a pre-emptive strike. Because if they decide to do the latter, it might suddenly invite attacks, so the US should consider things carefully first. The Effectivity of Cyber Attacks Dmitri describes cyber attacks as a perfect tool for inflicting damage but having the option of anonymity or deniability. One can execute it remotely, and still have impact on a far-away area or country. Though for something as overt as what Russia was doing, defaulting to kinetic weapons and outright war could achieve their objectives. Though it is not to say that cyber attacks is ineffective in this case, as Dmitri shares what happened in the first few hours or the Russian attacks on Ukraine. “One of the attacks that has not gotten a lot of attention was the hack of a US-based satellite provider called ViaSat that has a subsidiary that provides satellite communication services to Eastern Europe, particularly the Ukraine military. The Russians had actually hacked that satellite provider, or actors are believed to be Russian. They were able to essentially cripple satellite modems, thousands of them that the Ukrainians were using in the first hours of the war. My understanding is that that actually did have a significant impact on their ability to communicate in those initial hours and potent...
