Podcasts about as gene

As Gene and Roger jumped from one program to another, they left behind shows that were desperate to replicate the duo's groundbreaking success. These reiterations, along with other imitations of the format, paved the way for a television market saturated with Siskel and Ebert wannabes. But what they all failed to realize was that what made Gene and Roger special was Gene and Roger themselves.

Gene Goven is a farmer and rancher in North Dakota’s Prairie Pothole Country. He has owned and managed shortgrass prairie and cropland for more than 50 years. In the 1980’s he attended an intensive holistic management course taught by Allan Savory that greatly influenced him to manage diversity for soil health enhancement. As Gene says, it was and is “hundreds of little things” that add up over time. He manages for increased biodiversity, aims to capture rain where it falls, and feeds the soil first – livestock second.For Gene, we should all be striving to continuously learn and share what we learn. The North Dakota Grazing Lands Coalition, of which Gene is a founding member, hosts an innovative Mentor Network to bring along fellow farmers and ranchers on their own journey. Gene is equally as pleased to influence people outside of agriculture as well. A few weeks back he hosted a group from the North Dakota Chapter of the National Audubon Society to tour his ranch, discussing how the use of livestock can enhance bird habitat.In our conversation, we talked about soil health and water infiltration, the impacts of climate change including drought planning, cross-fencing and planned rotational grazing, the power of networking, advice for those just getting started farming and/or ranching, and so much more. There’s a lot packed into this 40-minute episode, so I hope you enjoy!--- FULL EPISODE NOTES WITH LINKS @ https://truestewards.com/gene-goven ------ TOPICS DISCUSSED ---1:27 – A brief overview of the Goven Ranch4:33 – Conservation efforts on the ranch including soil health and water quality6:21 – Impacts of climate change, drought planning, and increasing resiliency down the road10:06 – Using livestock for birding enhancement 11:54 – Cross-fencing, planned rotational grazing, and working with Mother Nature13:42 – Barriers to implementing a regenerative management system15:46 – The North Dakota Grazing Lands Coalition, the power of networking and sharing with neighbors19:40 – Advice for those just getting started22:57 – Best resources to stay on top of agricultural trends24:26 - The biggest areas in agriculture Gene is curious about27:11 – Intro to companion crops, root depth enhancement, and 1+1 = 329:19 – A concern about soil carbon markets30:53 – Food comes from the soil and other lessons with Gene’s grandson32:30 – Grass fed vs. grass finished33:46 – A silver lining of COVID: buying local and direct markets to consumers34:38 – Minimizing chemicals for insect control37:40 – Reducing fuel loads through grazing livestock

H.E. (Gene) Rainbolt acquired his first bank, the First American Bank in Purcell in 1962. In 1965 he acquired Federal National Bank in Shawnee, and two years later he and a group of investors began acquiring banks in Oklahoma, which led in 1985 to the formation of United Community Corporation, the State’s first multi-bank holding company. In 1989 BancFirst was founded, which is now the largest state-chartered bank in Oklahoma.Gene Rainbolt was born and raised in a single-parent home during the Great Depression in Norman, Oklahoma, near the University of Oklahoma campus. He could have enjoyed a promising career in academia but instead left for Army service in Korea and Japan. He is best known for revolutionizing Oklahoma’s outdated and backward banking system, a feat that took nearly 30 years to achieve.As Gene was building the largest state-chartered bank in Oklahoma he also helped dozens of overlooked-yet-promising children attend university while adopting a mission to create a state in which every child could have the opportunity to succeed.Gene is a graduate of the University of Oklahoma with both undergraduate and graduate degrees. His alma mater has honored him on multiple occasions, including the Distinguished Service Award and an Honorary Doctorate. In 1999 he was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame and has received Honorary Doctorates from Oklahoma Baptist University, Oklahoma City University, and Oklahoma Christian University.And he hired Willie Nelson to play his birthday party, twice.

Are we supposed to be people who engage in self-love or self-sacrifice? As Gene shares in this message, not only do self-love and self-sacrifice go together, we really can't be the kind of people we should be without engaging in both.

I like to think of Gene Baur, Co-Founder and President of the Farm Sanctuary in New York State and the Los Angeles area, as the original. Despite not being the first animal activist, who else has funded their sanctuary by selling veggie dogs out of the back of their VW van at a Grateful Dead concert? Classic!  Gene is more than just dedicated and devoted to bettering the lives of animals. He is also a wealth of knowledge about how to fix our ailing animal agriculture-based food supply system that has left the environment depleted and our health in question. Gene has solutions, and a new take on tradition. For example, since we don't need meat to survive, consider adopting a Turkey this Thanksgiving rather than eating one! Visit http://FarmSanctuary.org for info.  Gene also has a great book, Living the Farm Sanctuary Life!  You can try the Audible version of this book with a 30-day free trial by visiting http://Audibletrial.com/AwesomeVegans.  As Gene says, he's not anti-business and he's not anti-farmer, he's anti-cruelty. And who can't get behind that?! Listen in and for more information, visit http://ElysabethAlfano.com  

The Power of Meekness? "Meek" has come to mean something cowardly or spineless, yet, as Gene elaborates, this isn't the word we should think of when we think about the "meekness" that Jesus said would inherit the earth. As Gene elaborates, meekness is not only courageous, but it's an attitude that connects us to a source of power that fills us with joy and hope.

Gene and guest co-host J. Randall Murphy submit themselves to questions about UFOs and their background in the field of Ufology from Paracast listener Louis Sheehan. Gene talks about his history as a UFO researcher and writer, and about a series of recurring nightmares during a period when he constantly smelled the odor of burnt sulphur, both of which may have significance as paranormal events. Gene also discusses at length his favorite episodes of The Paracast and debates, with Randall, the original and current meaning of the acronym "UFO," and why Gene is not necessarily a believer in the most popular theory, that the flying saucers are spaceships from other planets. As Gene often states, would we even recognize the product of a highly advanced spacefaring technology?

One of the most masterful voices in Country music ever, Gene Watson still sings in the same key as 30 years ago and continues to prove why he is rightly referred to as “The Singer’s Singer”. His powerful voice and multi-octave range allows him to sing some of the most challenging songs with an ease that comes from pure, natural talent as well as from his many years performing onstage. Real. Country. Music. finds the the 72 year-old Country legend once again proving he’s the master of classic Country music. He remains defiantly Country in the face of today’s more pop oriented offerings and is proud his legions of fans rely on him to keep traditional Country music alive and well.  With that in mind, Gene delved back into history to pull out some overlooked gems in other artist’s catalogs as well  as a few of his own songs that are fan favorites but are no longer available.  As Gene noted, “Today’s songwriters  are not really writing the kind of songs fans of serious classic country are wanting. Traditional country is about life,  heartaches, loves and family. I’ve got to relate to the words as something that either happened to me or happened  to someone I know.  It’s hard for me to wrap my mind around a song that’s simply about riding a tractor or just  drinking beer with friends. I want more out of a song. So I went back to some classic songwriters like Kris  Kristofferson, Larry Gatlin, Bill Anderson, Keith Whitley, Dean Dillon, Hank Cochran and Dave Kirby – just to name  a few of the greats.”
