 Tonight, the Northfield City Council will approve the budget and tax levy increase for next year, which is set to be 9.9%. KYMN's Logan Wells provides a breakdown of the budget, how it works, what's driving the increase, and pretty much everything you need to know ahead of tonight's meeting. 

The automated "Great job, team!" email blasted to 47 people at 4:37 PM on a Friday isn't authentic appreciation. Neither is the generic gift basket ordered by someone in HR who's never met your top performer, or the corporate recognition program where nobody actually feels valued. These things look like recognition, but your people know the truth: leadership is outsourcing one of the most human tasks—seeing the people who show up every day and make things happen. And your teams feel the disconnect. As Jeb Blount Jr. recently said on the Sales Gravy Podcast: "Don't make your appreciation to customers, to your team, to yourself a completely outsourced behavior. It will be cheap, and everyone will know it." Authentic appreciation can't be delegated to your human resources team or automated through your CRM. And that's exactly why it works. Where Sales Leaders Go Wrong with Recognition Most sales leaders fall into one of two camps. Camp one believes they don't have time for appreciation because they're focused on results. The numbers are what matter. Recognition is soft skills territory—nice to have, but not essential. Camp two wants to show appreciation but defaults to the path of least resistance. They sign the company card. Approve the budget for the year-end gift. Forward the congratulatory email from the VP. Box checked. Both camps are missing what actually moves people. Recognition that matters requires you to see the work that often goes unseen. It demands that you pause long enough to notice not just the outcome, but the effort behind it. That's not something you can outsource. Why Small Moments Compound Into Big Results There's a concept in professional development about making 1% improvements every single day. Over 365 days, those tiny adjustments compound into exponential growth. Authentic appreciation works the same way. You don't need a massive recognition program. You don't need elaborate gestures or expensive rewards. You need consistency in the small moments that tell your team: I see you, and what you are doing matters. Consider the sales rep who stays late to prep for tomorrow's presentation. The account manager who defuses a client issue before it reaches your desk. The teammate who mentors the new hire without being asked. These moments happen every day, and most leaders miss them entirely because they're scanning for the big wins. But your team isn't just looking for recognition when they close the monster deal. They're looking for it on Tuesday afternoon when they're grinding through their 50th prospecting call. They're looking for it when they've had a brutal week and still show up ready to perform. Small acts of authentic appreciation in these moments build trust faster than any annual award ceremony ever will. 3 Elements of Authentic Appreciation Authentic appreciation has three non-negotiable elements. Specific means recognizing exactly what someone did and why it mattered. Not "great work on that account," but "the way you handled that objection about pricing showed real creativity—you reframed value instead of dropping price, and that's exactly the approach we need more of." Timely means you don't wait for the quarterly review or the annual celebration. You recognize the effort when it happens, while it's still fresh and meaningful. Personal means you deliver it in a way that resonates with that individual. Some people want public recognition. Others prefer a quiet conversation. Some treasure a handwritten note. Others just want to hear it directly from you in the moment. Here's what this looks like in real leadership: One sales leader makes it a practice to handwrite notes to team members. Not emails. Not Slack messages. Actual pen-on-paper notes. Some are two sentences. Some are three paragraphs. But everyone is specific to something that person did and why it mattered to the team. Is it efficient? No. Does it scale? Not really. But those notes end up on office walls, in desk drawers, and tucked into planners. Years later, people still have them. That's the difference between authentic and outsourced. Integrate Authentic Appreciation Into How You Already Work Most sales leaders know they should show more appreciation. They feel guilty about it. They add it to their to-do list. And then the day gets away from them. The problem is treating appreciation as an extra task instead of integrating it into what you're already doing. You're already having one-on-ones. Reviewing deals. Walking the floor or jumping on calls. The question isn't whether you have time—it's whether you're paying attention in those moments. When reviewing pipeline, don't just look at the numbers. Notice the effort. "I see you've been hitting activity goals consistently for six weeks straight. That discipline is setting you up for a strong Q1." When someone sends an update email, reply with more than “thanks.” Take 30 seconds to acknowledge what they did: "This breakdown made my job easier. I didn't have to dig for answers. That kind of communication makes our team more efficient." These aren't grand gestures. They're small moments of paying attention and responding like a human being who notices when people do good work. Building a Culture Where Authentic Appreciation Flows Both Ways The best team cultures don't just flow from leader to team member; they flow in every direction. When you model authentic appreciation, your team starts doing it for each other. They notice the work that happens behind the scenes. They start going the extra mile. The culture shifts from everyone waiting for the leader's approval to everyone building each other up. One practice that works: create space in team meetings for peer recognition. Not forced or formal—just an open moment where anyone can call out something they appreciated from a teammate that week. Keep it optional. Keep it genuine. You'll be surprised how quickly it becomes part of your team's rhythm. Additionally, most high performers are terrible at acknowledging their own progress. They hit a goal and immediately move to the next one without pausing to appreciate what they just accomplished. In coaching sessions, start by asking: “What's a win from this week?” Make them say it out loud. Make them acknowledge their own growth. That internal recognition builds resilience and momentum that external praise alone can't create. What Happens When You Get This Right When you stop outsourcing appreciation and start building it into your leadership, everything shifts. Retention improves. People stay where they feel seen and valued. They leave when they feel invisible. Team energy changes. Appreciated people bring more to the table. They take ownership. They go the extra mile because they want to. Difficult conversations get easier. When someone knows you genuinely care about their success, they're more open to feedback and coaching. Culture becomes magnetic. Top performers want to work on teams where their contributions matter. They can feel the difference between authentic and transactional leadership from a mile away. Take Action This Week Stop waiting for the perfect appreciation program or the right company initiative. Start with what you can control right now. This week: Write one handwritten note to someone on your team. Be specific about what they did and why it mattered. In your next one-on-one, ask “What's a win from this week?” and let them acknowledge their own progress. Catch someone doing something right—however small—and tell them in the moment. End your next team meeting with clear recognition for one person. Not generic praise, tell them exactly what you noticed and why it mattered. This month: Create a recognition moment in every team meeting. Make it specific, not generic. Ask yourself: What recognition do I wish I were receiving? Then give that to someone else. When reviewing pipeline or performance, comment on the effort, not just the outcome. Stop Outsourcing What Should Be Human The work you do as a sales leader matters. The people on your team matter. And the small moments where you choose to show up and recognize their effort—those matter most of all. Your team isn't waiting for the next corporate initiative or the annual awards ceremony. They're waiting for you to notice. They're waiting for you to care enough to say something about the work they're doing right now. Stop outsourcing what should be human. Lead with authentic appreciation today, and watch your team thrive.  Want to turn recognition into motivation that sticks?

Send us a textFeeling behind isn't a signal to push harder; it's a cue to change the frame. We dive into why comparing your level 3 to someone else's level 20 poisons progress and how a few simple tools can restore momentum: small daily actions that compound, identity shifts that make habits stick, and language choices that keep your mind on movement rather than deficiency.First, we tackle the compounding effect of consistency. Think of your skills like interest—tiny deposits, made daily, that add up to visible results. We share practical ways to design non-negotiables that are so small they're fail-safe, yet powerful enough to bend your trajectory in 30 to 90 days. From sales and business growth to fitness and creative work, the same math applies when you track inputs and celebrate proof.Then we explore identity as the engine behind lasting change. When you see yourself as the kind of person who shows up—athlete, builder, creator—you stop negotiating with yourself. We walk through cues that make identity real in the moment: a phrase you repeat, a habit you anchor, and a visible action that casts a vote for who you're becoming. To ground those gains, we use a 90-day lookback to surface wins you've stopped noticing and a gratitude practice that reduces pressure while sharpening focus.To make braver choices, we introduce the grandfather frame: consult your 80-year-old self before big decisions. That perspective strips away noise and highlights what you'll remember—risks taken, people helped, growth earned. We close with a simple reframe that changes the tone of your inner voice: replace “I'm not there yet” with “I'm on my way.” If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a quick review to help others find these tools.

CTL Script/ Top Stories of November 7th Publish Date: November 7th   Pre-Roll: From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast  Today is Friday, November 7th and Happy Birthday to Jim Kaat I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Times Journal Cherokee County voters approve sales tax for transportation Paloma brings Mexican flavors to Woodstock’s Adair Park Here's who signed up to run for Georgia House District 23 Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on milk We’ll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you’re looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  Commercial: Ingles Markets 1 STORY 1: Cherokee County voters approve sales tax for transportation Cherokee County voters just gave the green light to a 1% sales tax for transportation—T-SPLOST—set to pump $445 million into local roads over six years. The measure passed with 60.4% of the vote, according to unofficial results. That’s 25,132 “yes” votes to 16,479 “no.” Here's Cherokee County Commission Chair Harry Johnston talking about the results: VO Starting April 2026, the tax will fund road widening, bridge replacements, traffic signal upgrades—you name it. The tax bumps Cherokee’s sales tax to 7%, but here’s the kicker: about a third of that revenue comes from non-residents. STORY 2: Paloma brings Mexican flavors to Woodstock’s Adair Park “Everything here—everything—is made from scratch,” says Jason Sheetz, co-owner of Paloma Tequila & Tacos, Woodstock’s newest spot for Mexican food. Open since October in Adair Park, the restaurant even makes its chips and salsa fresh daily. The menu? Familiar favorites like tacos, enchiladas, and fajitas, but with a twist. Almost everything is gluten-free, and Executive Chef Rebeca Delgado brings her own creative flair to dishes like carne asada burritos and tacos de carne asada. Drinks are just as thoughtful. The Paloma Cantarito, served in a ceramic cup, and the jalapeño-pineapple margarita are crowd-pleasers—no premixes, just fresh juices. Paloma is open for dinner now, with lunch service starting Thanksgiving week. And yes, parking is free. STORY 3: Here's who signed up to run for Georgia House District 23 Six candidates are vying for the Georgia House District 23 seat, left vacant after the passing of longtime Representative Mandi Ballinger, who served the Cherokee County area for over a decade before losing her battle with cancer last month. The special election is set for Dec. 9, with five Republicans and one Democrat in the mix: Ann Gazell, a retired educator; Bill Fincher, a former assistant DA; Brice Futch, a firefighter; Raj Sagoo, a consultant; Scott Sanders, an engineer (and the lone Democrat); and William Ware, a retired microbiologist. Early voting starts Nov. 17, and if no one wins outright, a runoff will follow on Jan. 6. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

CCHVP recently launched a food pantry aimed at helping active-duty military in Cherokee County who’ve lost their SNAP benefits. It’s a lifeline for those who need it.

Featured Musician: Grand Gesture THE VIDEO: [After THE JUMP: Things discussable.]  --------------------- 1. Purdue Preview: Offense starts at the top Injured Mockobee, injured, turnover-prone starting QB in a battle with Arkansas transfer. OL gets worse from left to right. Receivers drop more than ours. Tight end was one dude who's hurt and three weirdos. They move the ball with College Crappe: screens, GT Counters, lots of RPOs, and the occasional baller play by Ryan Browne. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WINK. 2. Purdue Preview: Defense starts at 25:22 That secondary is rough and getting rougher. They have one good lineman, plus maybe a second in Breeon Ishmail. Linebackers came with Odom. Do the Nebraska thing where they give you lots of weird fronts, 3-3-5, 404 Tite, Mint, etc. so they confuse your reads. Going to be fits and starts, need to take advantage of the cracks without Haynes. 3. MSU After Review starts at 45:51 Defensive UFR things: Jimmy Rolder was a star for more reasons than you think.

Featured Artist: Grand Gesture (Spotify) We featured Grand Gesture on this show back in 2017 and I rediscovered their album I downloaded (for free) from Bandcamp. Reader Ryan Dembinsky (class of 2000) is one of the guitar players in this NYC band that promises "Protean fjord jam rock." I'd actually characterize it as a great example of the more interesting stuff that came out at the end of the garage rock era (other examples: Apollo Sunshine, Starlight Mints) that I thought was better than the genre that birthed it. Ryan also used to write the Ghosts of Wayne Fontes blog back when MGoBlog was young (2006-2009) and sports blogging was a budding industry. I'm not sure they're still together—the last show on their FB page was pre-pandemic—and even then they were all musicians on the side with full-time jobs. I wonder what would have happened if they took this professional though, because they're pretty good and got some buzz in the NYC music scene around 2017.

Donald Trump is seeking a staggering $230 million compensation from the Justice Department for the federal investigations into his conduct. This unprecedented administrative claim raises immediate red flags, as any settlement could require approval from senior DOJ officials, including those who previously served as his personal defense attorneys. #Trump #DOJ #JusticeDepartment #PoliticalCorruption #MarALago #ToddBlanche #LegalNews #USPolitics Independent media has never been more important.

230-Million dollars.  That's how much Trump wants to be compensated from the Department of Justice for criminally investigating him.  Trump says he's owed damages for the alleged Russian interference investigation in the 2016 Presidential election and for the FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago home related to the handling of classified documents. Trump says whatever money he gets he'll give to charity (Ballroom fund perhaps?)  Whatever number he wants, he will probably get because Trump and those in his administration trying to stay in his good graces will be responsible for approving a payout.John Rothmann, our presidential historian and political analyst is traveling but may be able to join us depending on his Internet coverage.  Get ready to save the world because "It's the Planet, Stupid!" with Belinda Waymouth is on the way.  The Mark Thompson Show 10/22/25Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!

Today, Trump is having fun, and you can hear it in his speech right from the top. We have Fred Fleitz, Former NSC Chief of Staff on to talk Gaza, and Rep. Mike Bost to talk shutdown progress, if there is any. Xs and Ys in the 2:00 hour, with NO bodily fluid discussion (but some of the gaseous variety).
