Have you ever noticed how your mid-tier product seems to sell the best?   That's not an accident.   This week I was researching pickleball memberships at Toledo Pickleball Club! And I noticed that I was drawn to a specific "tier" of membership from all the choices. And although it wasn't cheap, I still felt good about spending that much.   There's a fascinating bit of sales psychology called the "compromise effect"—and today, we're going to unpack what it is, why it works, and how you can use it to increase sales of specific items in your farm's product suite.   Your homework is to practice what you learn in today's episode and create 3 tiers of offers for this upcoming weekend. See if it doesn't double your sales!! Podcast Sponsors: Local Line: Local Line is my preferred e-commerce platform for farmers. Are you looking for a new solution for your farm?

Hope everyone is ready for fake dating/engagement/marriage on an accelerated timeline. This week, we read That Kind of Guy by Stephanie Archer, and spoiler alert: we loved it. Avery wants to buy the restaurant she manages, but she can't get approved for a loan. Emmett is running for Mayor, but is lagging in the polls thanks to his 30s-and-single status. So Emmett proposes a mutually beneficial arrangement: he'll co-sign on her business loan in exchange for her pretending to be his girlfriend. And then his fiancée. Oh, and also his wife. Emmett isn't a relationship kind of guy, and Avery thinks Emmett is arrogant, so there's no risk of them falling for each other…right?Up Next: You & Me by Tal BauerSOS Novella: Corny by Sabrina CrossWhat else we're reading:A Court-Ordered Romance: Merry Mischief by Lark GreenThe Arch Demon in Auditing by Ella BeckSmokin' Situation by E.L.

The nation's Medicaid program has seen better days. Recently, the federal government's program to provide healthcare coverage to America's low-income and vulnerable citizens was used as a bargaining chip as congressional Republicans were in the throes of budget negotiations, facing the daunting task to pass what President Trump calls his “big, beautiful bill:” a package of tax breaks disproportionately favoring the wealthy and spending cuts. The bill, which last week passed in the U.S. House of Representatives, is now making its way through the Senate.Then there was the announcement this midweek that the Deputy Administrator and Director of the Center for Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Services, Drew Synder, was resigning from the federal agency.Reporting on these developing stories during the next live edition of the long-running Internet broadcast Monitor Mondays will be Drew Updike, MD.The venerable broadcast will also include these instantly recognizable features:• Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds.• The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullins, will report the latest news about auditors.• Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.• Legislative Update: Cate Brantley, senior healthcare government affairs analyst for Zelis, will report on the news happening at the intersection of healthcare and congressional action.

A live SXSW panel on how employee complaints illuminate the path to organizational innovation.Wrong question: How can AI revolutionize productivity in my organization?Right question: What do my employees hate most about their jobs?For the Portland Trail Blazers, a winning game plan for AI implementation didn't begin with a tech-first approach — it began with a talk-first one. “The whole concept was to talk about pain points," explains David Long, VP of Digital Innovation, describing the "Lunch and Launch" sessions where employees could openly share frustrations about their daily work. “People really enjoy talking about what they hate about their jobs,” says Christa Stout, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy & Innovation Officer, and as they did, they illuminated opportunities for optimization. “By getting this insight across the whole company, it is already opening our eyes [to how] we can potentially transform the business more broadly,” Stout says.In this special live episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, recorded at SXSW, host Matt Abrahams leads a panel with Long, Stout, and Stanford colleague Jeremy Utley, exploring how "catharsis catalyzes change.” For any team wanting to implement new technology or rethink workflows, these experts reveal how creating space for complaints can catalyze meaningful innovation throughout an organization.Episode Reference Links:Jeremy UtleyDavid LongChrista StoutEp.77 Quick Thinks: AI Has Entered The Chat – A "Conversation" with ChatGPTEp.134 How to Chat with Bots: The Secrets to Getting the Information You Need from AI  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (04:42) - The Business Behind Basketball (06:13) - Why AI and Why Now?

In previous lessons, we've discussed aligning your UX role with organizational goals and understanding your current position. Today, let's explore the tangible resources you already have. Many UX leaders instinctively request more people, budget, or time. While there's a place for such requests (which we'll cover later), effective UX leadership begins by honestly recognizing what's achievable within your existing means.I understand this exercise might initially feel discouraging, particularly if resources are limited. But the goal here isn't to uncover hidden opportunities immediately; rather, it's about having a clear and honest appraisal of your current situation. This will enable you to set realistic expectations with senior leadership and articulate your needs more effectively.Budget: Understanding Your Current LimitsStart by assessing your current budget honestly. Can you directly purchase tools, or do you always need approval? If you require approval, how supportive is your manager, and roughly how much per year can you typically spend without causing friction? Knowing your financial constraints and managerial support is essential for realistic planning.Tools and Software: Inventory and OptimizeClearly identify the tools already available to you, from user research platforms and design tools like Figma, to analytics platforms. Evaluate if you're spending effectively on these tools; could you reduce spending on applications you only occasionally use and reallocate that budget to areas of greater value? This clarity reveals immediate opportunities for optimization and highlights critical gaps.Staff and Support: Maximizing Existing TeamsNext clearly understand what internal or external teams are already at your disposal. Make an honest assessment of their strengths and weaknesses, identifying how you can maximize the value of your current staff or partners. Consider how AI tools could augment your team's capabilities and improve efficiency, rather than immediately requesting additional headcount.Training: Leveraging Available OpportunitiesEvaluate existing opportunities for professional growth. Do you have current access to training, webinars, or coaching? Using these resources effectively will fill skill gaps without waiting for additional investment.Autonomy: Recognizing Your Current InfluenceReflect honestly on your current autonomy. Do you have the authority to set policies relating to user experience? Do you get to decide and prioritize your own work? Can you influence broader approaches that teams use when developing products and services?

What if you could reclaim hours of your time each week—just by documenting and automating the simple tasks you're already doing? In this episode, I sit down with Glen Young of Cold Springs Organics, a Farm Marketing School member and automation-building wizard, to talk about how he's using Zapier + AI to automate processes in his farm business—from order management to email marketing, lead tagging, customer onboarding, and even abandoned cart follow-ups. Glen shares how he went from juggling everything manually to building smart, scalable workflows that save him time and create a better customer experience. He walks us through his "white belt to black belt" automation philosophy, shares the tools he's using (and loving), and explains how he's using ChatGPT to document and coach his systems into existence.

Dieser Podcast wurde 2020 zum ersten Mal veröffentlicht. Während sich im Frühjahr 2020 die Coronakrise manifestiert, besucht Berni den Aktivisten Wilfried Handl in Wien, der viele Jahre eine leitende Position bei Scientology Österreichs innehielt. Jetzt leistet er Aufklärungsarbeit über die Gruppierung und unterstützt die Aussteigerszene. Berni bekommt einen Einblick in seine denkwürdige Biografie, erfährt wie Scientology den Alltag seiner Mitglieder beeinflusst, was OT-Level sind und warum Handl auch ohne Auditing zum “Clear” erklärt wurde. Und wie er den Absprung geschafft hat. Ob Scientology heute noch so einflussreich und bedrohlich ist wie damals, beantwortet zudem der Schweizer Journalist Hugo Stamm.

Welcome to a strange new world.Recent tariffs announced by the Trump Administration are likely to impact drug manufacturing, since many drug components are produced outside the U.S., in nations such as in India, giving rise to state laws. Many states limit overseas involvement relative to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Florida, for example, prohibits the offshoring of certain patient data, requiring such storage to be within the U.S.Responding to this emerging crisis, the producers of RACmonitor and Monitor Mondays have invited Lexi Morrison, director of operations at MedPharma, to be the program's special guest during the next live edition of the venerable Internet broadcast, coming up at 10 a.m. EST on Monday, May 19.The long-running broadcast will also include these instantly recognizable features:• Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds.• The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullins, will report the latest news about auditors.• Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.• Legislative Update: Adam Brenman, senior government affairs analyst for Zelis, will report on the news happening at the intersection of healthcare and congressional action.

What happens when a total city girl decides to go all-in on the homesteading life… and ends up building a full-blown farm business from scratch? In this episode, I sit down with Beth DeClerq, a self-taught homesteader who started out just wanting to be self-sufficient—and ended up creating a profitable farm business that's now helping her family build toward a full-time income. Beth didn't grow up farming. She had zero experience with animals or agriculture. But one step at a time—raising chickens, gardening, milking a cow, selling eggs—she figured it out. And along the way, her neighbors started asking if they could buy from her. Fast forward to today, and Beth is scaling her farm operation, growing an online membership that teaches homesteading skills, and using the early bird sales system she learned from this podcast to sell out her pastured poultry… before they've even hit the freezer.

In this episode of Let's Combinate, Subhi Saadeh—an ISO 13485 certified lead auditor, CQA, and CQE—dives into the evolving role of auditing in the medical device and pharmaceutical industries. He reflects on his journey to becoming a Certified Quality Auditor and asks a timely question: in the age of AI, will audits—and auditors—still matter? Subhi outlines what separates good auditors from great ones, shares lessons from his own audit experiences, and breaks down how AI might streamline parts of the audit process. But he makes a clear case: while AI can assist, it can't replace the critical thinking, real-time risk judgment, and systems awareness that human auditors bring. The episode wraps with practical advice on how to embrace AI as a tool—without losing the edge that only people have.00:00 Introduction to Auditing and Certification00:43 My Auditing Journey and Experience02:40 The Importance of Technique in Auditing03:26 Real-World Auditing Insights04:59 The Value of Certification07:16 Key Qualities of a Great Auditor10:48 The Role of AI in Auditing12:18 Why AI Won't Replace Human Auditors15:26 Conclusion and Future OutlookSubhi Saadeh is a Quality Professional and host of Let's Combinate.

On the surface, it was the perfect scam: kickbacks to docs in exchange for public speaking engagements, in order to induce them to prescribe drugs.That's apparently what Gilead Sciences thought.But a whistleblower blew the whistle, and Gilead admitted to paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to high prescribers of their HIV drugs to serve as speakers at programs at luxury restaurants.Famed whistleblower attorney Mary Inman, partner at Whistleblowers Partners, LLP, will report the savory details during the new live edition of Monitor Mondays, coming up at 10 a.m. EST on Monday, May 12.The long-running broadcast will also include these instantly recognizable features:• Monday Rounds: Ronald Hirsch, MD, vice president of R1 RCM, will be making his Monday Rounds.• The RAC Report: Healthcare attorney Knicole Emanuel, partner at the law firm of Nelson Mullins, will report the latest news about auditors.• Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.• Legislative Update: Folan Houston, assistant general counsel for Zelis, will report on the news at the intersection of healthcare and congressional action.• Field Report: Dr. Drew Updike continues his reporting on recent efforts by the Trump Administration to prevent providers from undertaking gender-affirming treatments for America's LGBTQ+ population.

May 7, 2025 Ever wonder what it really takes to sell premium farm products with confidence—and actually make money doing it? This week, I sit down with Stacie Edwards, a Farm Marketing School member who once felt nervous about charging “too much” for her meats. Today? She knows her numbers, prices for profit, and runs her business with the mindset of a CEO. But that transformation didn't happen overnight. Stacie's journey is full of hard-won lessons: from hiring her first coach, to outsourcing hog production, to finally letting go of the fear that held her back from charging what her work is truly worth. She shares the real story of what it takes to step out of a scarcity mindset and step into profitability—without apology.

SummaryIn this episode of the Compliance Guy Podcast, the hosts discuss various compliance issues in healthcare, including coding practices, the implications of audits, and the evolving role of artificial intelligence in documentation.

When Ruth Ann Majauskas first launched her flower farm in 2020, she tried a little bit of everything—farmers markets, retail, subscriptions. But the magic happened when she shifted her focus entirely to wholesale… selling flowers directly to florists. What started as trial and error quickly evolved into a streamlined system with loyal buyers, consistent orders, and a workflow she could count on. Now, Ruth Ann runs a thriving wholesale flower farm business—and she's helping other flower farmers learn how to do the same. In today's episode, she shares how she built her florist-focused business model, what makes the wholesale florist buyer tick, how she finds and communicates with them, what software she uses to manage weekly orders, and more. She even reveals how she uses the same marketing framework I teach inside Farm Marketing School—tailored specifically to florists.

Nearly every day, on any news service, images of people being quickly led away is chilling as the current Administration continues its sweep of rounding up and deporting suspected illegal immigrants.Thus, in this current climate of increased audits, investigations and scrutiny on immigration, it is essential that healthcare organizations sponsoring foreign nationals for employment, ensure that documentation, policies, and practices are updated and fully compliant.During the next live edition of the venerable Monitor Mondays live Internet radio broadcast, seasoned immigration attorney Matthew Webster will walk you through such essential issues as H-1B visas, L-1 visas and employment-based green cards.

We're heading into a bumpy economy. So, it's time to audit what we're doing in marketing. How do we do that? Auditing is all about alignment. Are your brand's efforts in line with what's going on in the world? Are you wasting any money, time, resources, etc.? One of the first things to change is KPIs and really figure out what matters. Plus, it's time to audit tools and software you're using.  Jay gives an example from his company: they're reprocessing files and saving money from going through everything. When things are uncertain, it's time to focus on what you can control.  And, Daniel says marketing is still important, even if it's often the first budget to get cut during an economic downturn. People may not want to spend their hard-earned money on trying a new product. Because of this, doubling down on retention strategies is going to be the key to success.   This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about preparing for what's about to come.

It started with a few innocent dog scratches. My dog Daisy was itching like crazy, and I began to wonder: could it be her food? One Google search later, I found myself tumbling headfirst into a raw dog food rabbit hole—complete with Facebook ads, blog articles, YouTube videos, and a subscription box I could not refuse. In just seven days, I went from “hmm, maybe I'll try something new” to full-blown raw food DIYer with a freezer full of meat and a meal plan I created myself. And I didn't just buy dog food—I bought into an identity shift. I wanted to become the kind of person who makes her own dog food. In this episode, I walk you through that transformation—from unaware to superfan—and break down the stages of the sales funnel framework that brought me there. I'm also challenging YOU to think critically about how your farm's sales funnel is designed to do the same thing for your customers.

Are you charging enough for your farm products or services? Recently, I was on a coaching call with a farmer who ran a wedding event space on their farm. They were booked solid for over a year—yet hadn't raised their prices in years. That's a major sign they could (and should) charge more. The truth is, most farmers hesitate to raise prices because they're afraid of losing customers. But what if I told you that keeping your prices too low could actually be hurting your business? In today's episode, I'm breaking down five key signs that it's time to increase your prices—and how to do it with confidence. Whether you sell produce, meat, flowers, CSA shares, or even farm experiences, this episode will help you rethink your pricing strategy and ensure your farm is profitable.
