When I first started teaching farm marketing, I noticed something right away: most farmers weren't struggling because they were "bad at marketing" — they were struggling because they had never been taught how to do it. They were winging it, trying to piece things together from YouTube videos and Instagram posts, and feeling defeated when sales didn't budge. Farm Marketing School was born out of that gap — a place where farmers could learn the skills, systems, and confidence they need to market their farms well. And since enrollment for next year is now open, I wanted to finally pull back the curtain and answer the question I get asked all the time: "Is this right for me?" In today's episode, I'm giving you a full behind-the-scenes tour of Farm Marketing School — what it is, how it works, who it's for, and why it transforms the way farmers show up in their business. I walk through our monthly step-by-step projects, the templates and swipe files inside, the coaching support, the community, and the special Money Mindset focus we're diving into this winter. If you've ever wished you could feel more confident and competent in your marketing — like you finally had the tools, structure, and support to stop winging it — this episode will help you see what's possible. Join Farm Marketing School here! ==> www.mydigitalfarmer.com/enroll Bonus Free Webinar I mention this in today's episode! Register for my Sales Funnel Framework webinar at www.mydigitalfarmer.com/webinar to learn the eight parts of a marketing system that actually drives recurring sales.

This week, we are continuing with the theme of toxicity because it lies at the root of most health issues horses experience.Looking back at past cases, the pattern is unmistakable. Once you remove those dietary toxins, things start to turn around. The tricky part is knowing what is helpful and what is harmful, so that is what we are focusing on today.Over-SupplementedOver-supplementation becomes a major contributor to malabsorption, inflammation, and chronic health problems. Many ingredients, especially synthetic, inflammatory, or poorly absorbed ones, cause toxicity, overwhelm digestion, and suppress the immune system. Interpreting Ingredient Lists Horse owners must learn to interpret ingredient lists to distinguish food ingredients from vitamins, minerals, preservatives, flavorings, and fillers. Many supplements contain a few beneficial components surrounded by ingredients that negate their benefits. So it is essential to know which are organic, which are inorganic, and which are highly processed.Detoxifying Means Removing, Not AddingDetoxification comes from removing substances rather than adding more. Every ingredient requires a digestive resource, and when the system is congested, even beneficial nutrients turn toxic. Removing non-essential supplements frees the liver, gut, and cells to function normally, improves absorption, and reduces inflammation. A temporary reset with hay, water, and salt will allow the digestive system to heal.The Fear of Stopping SupplementsMany owners fear that their horses will regress if they remove their supplements, yet many horses decline because they cannot properly absorb the supplements they get. Most commercial ingredients are so processed and inorganic that the body barely recognizes them. Simplifying is not deprivation. It restores capacity. Nutrition from forage and whole foods becomes far more effective with reduced digestive stress.Why Simplifying WorksTurnarounds can happen when owners strip everything back to only a few essential nutrients plus detoxifying herbs. Even horses on high-quality programs with good ingredients can improve dramatically by reducing their overall load. Fewer ingredients reduce competition for receptors, lowering inflammation and improving the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients and minerals.Ingredient Competition Inflammatory ingredients block the absorption of critical minerals, fat-soluble vitamins, and proteins. Even high-quality formulas can fail if too many ingredients compete for absorption. Less is often more because simplified diets reduce receptor blockage, increase bioavailability, and allow the body to use what it gets.Choosing Supplements Labels market conditions like ulcers, metabolic syndrome, and digestion, without guaranteeing ingredient suitability. Horses with ulcers, for example, cannot absorb synthetic nutrients well, especially while on proton pump inhibitors. So owners must evaluate what each ingredient actually does rather than trusting marketing claims.A Three-Step Supplement AuditCount every ingredient your horse consumes daily across all supplements.Categorize each item (food, vitamin, mineral, preservative, flavoring, or colorant)Assess processing level and quality Auditing provides clarity and helps you decide what to remove, what to keep, and what genuinely benefits the horse.Do you know what exactly is in your horse's supplements, and what they're actually doing for their health? Keeping your horse's diet and supplement program clean is one of the most beneficial things you can do for them. There is nothing that turns a horse's health around faster than cleaning up their diet and supporting their health from the inside out.

Thanks for having me.Josh Hadley 00:00:46  Well, with how busy you are with a young and growing family and the business, we're excited to have you share some of your time with us. So thanks again for joining us. What else is there that you know? You're saying that Amazon eats your margin for business lunch and dinner or for breakfast? Lunch and dinner, right? So what else is there that you know, people should be paying attention to? And Amazon specifically for now that, you know, there could be a lot of, you know, marginally going out the business.Josh Gibson 00:01:15  Yeah. I mean, it's important to to track your weights and your gyms and your categories of what products you're selling in because there's some products. Say you're selling a printer. A printer should be in an 8% category, but sometimes they'll slide into a 15% category. So you're losing that that amount of money. You don't see it unless you're tracking tracking it. Or they could dim it out wrong. Say something. They as they went through their Cuba scan, it dimmed out incorrectly. So being able to go in and update and fix those dimensions and then do do file backs on those. also trying to find better, more efficient ways to do inbound shipments. and so there's, there's tools out there that we use that can take like right now we're running a full truckload, for $400, inbound FBA, where that same truckload going, another the route could be 3 to $4000. So it's the more time you do this. And the nice thing about our team is we can sit in a bullpen and go, okay, what are you guys learning? What'd you find out? and trying to take our collective knowledge, plus being able to go to, like, this, scale and sell summit and meet other people that know more things and aggregate this information to become more valuable.Josh Gibson 00:02:19  which, to your point is, if you're an owner operator trying to do this yourself, it becomes complicated because you don't have the resources and the ability to to learn all these things. Yeah. But to your point, it's it's the weight in gems. It is the categories. It is inbound shipments. I'm blanking on a few others, but it's really managing that protection of your bottom line. that's important. And it's also like specifically with inbound shipments is the annoying part is you can get that FBI ID cleared, they can say fully received. And we've seen with some clients ten, 12 months later, they say, actually we're five short. And if you're not going back and reordering those, even though you thought you did a good job auditing it.

Over his 15-year journey through healthcare and financial services security, Ken Bowles, now Director of Security Operations at GreenSky, has collected a plethora of practical strategies for prioritizing crown jewels, managing cloud over-permissions, and building SOCs that scale effectively. He reflects on transforming security operations through AI and intelligent automation and discusses how AI is reducing analyst investigation time dramatically. Ken also asserts the importance of auditing security controls before they silently fail. The conversation touches on the evolving role of the MITRE framework, the concept of signaling versus alerting, and why embracing AI might be the best career move for security professionals navigating rapid technological change in cloud environments. Topics discussed: Building security operations programs around crown jewels and scaling outward to manage the most critical assets first. Managing over-permissions in cloud environments that have snowballed across multiple administrators without proper governance. Using AI to reduce analyst investigation time from 30 minutes to seconds through intelligent data enrichment and context. Creating true single-pane-of-glass visibility by connecting security tools and data sources for more effective threat detection. Training new security analysts with AI assistance to bridge knowledge gaps in SQL, SOAR platforms, and log analysis. Documenting institutional knowledge while encouraging analysts to trust their intuition when something doesn't look right. Understanding the limitations of impossible travel alerts and using AI to establish user behavior baselines for accurate detection. Applying the MITRE framework as a guideline rather than gospel, adapting detection strategies to specific organizational needs. Implementing signaling approaches that label security-relevant events without creating alert fatigue for security operations teams. Auditing security controls regularly to catch configuration drift and ensure protective measures remain effective over time.  Listen to more episodes:  Apple  Spotify  YouTube Website

The Trump Administration's U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is shifting its enforcement approach from aggressive actions to more cooperative mechanisms, such as compliance assistance programs and voluntary self-disclosure. For regulated industries such as manufacturing, heavy industry, and mineral extraction, this creates an opportunity to strengthen compliance while reducing enforcement risk. EPA's long-standing Audit Policy offers significant benefits, ranging from elimination or reduction of civil penalties to tailored incentives for new owners and clearer correction timelines. Successfully leveraging the policy, however, requires careful planning, strategic decisions on disclosure, and an understanding of potential risks. Co-hosted by Kelley Drye and Fehr Graham, this podcast version of the webinar features Kelley Drye Partners Wayne D'Angelo and Joseph Green and Fehr Graham's Matt Schroeder, EHS Practice Lead. Together, they share practical guidance on how companies can use EPA's Audit Policy to manage compliance obligations, mitigate penalties, and minimize enforcement exposure.

Do you create a new group each year, or do you maintain the same group and remove members who don't continue?" If you run a CSA, you've probably wrestled with this too. What do you do with your private Facebook group when the season ends? Do you close it? Keep it open? Kick people out who don't renew?

During this series of informative podcasts, we'll bring you foundational training on the most popular Oracle technologies. Let's get started! 00:25 Lois: Hello and welcome to the Oracle University Podcast! I'm Lois Houston, Director of Innovation Programs with Oracle University, and with me is Nikita Abraham, Team Lead: Editorial Services. Nikita: Hi everyone! In the last episode, we spoke about local area networks and domain name systems. Today, we'll continue our conversation on the fundamentals of networking, covering a variety of important topics.  00:50 Lois: That's right, Niki. And before we close, we'll also touch on the basics of security. Joining us today are two OCI instructors from Oracle University: Sergio Castro and Orlando Gentil. So glad to have you both with us guys. Sergio, with so many users and devices connecting to the internet, how do we make sure everyone can get online? Can you break down what Network Address Translation, or NAT, does to help with this? Sergio: The world population is bigger than 4.3 billion people. That means that if we were to interconnect every single human into the internet, we will not have enough addresses. And not all of us are connected to the internet, but those of us who are, you know that we have more than one device at our disposal. We might have a computer, a laptop, mobile phones, you name it. And all of them need IP addresses. So that's why Network Address Translation exists because it translates your communication from a private IP to a public IP address. That's the main purpose: translate. 02:05 Nikita: Okay, so with NAT handling the IP translation, how do we ensure that the right data reaches the right device within a network? Or to put it differently, what directs external traffic to specific devices inside a network? Sergio: Port forwarding works in a reverse way to Network Address Translation. So, let's assume that this PC here, you want to turn it into a web server. So, people from the outside, customers from the outside of your local area network, will access your PC web server. Let's say that it's an online store. Now all of these devices are using the same public IP address. So how would the traffic be routed specifically to this PC and not to the camera or to the laptop, which is not a web server, or to your IP TV? So, this is where port forwarding comes into play. Basically, whenever it detects a request coming to port, it will route it and forward that request to your PC. It will allow anybody, any external device that wants to access this particular one, this particular web server, for the session to be established. So, it's a permission that you're allowing to this PC and only to this PC. The other devices will still be isolated from that list. That's what port forwarding is. 03:36 Lois: Sergio, let's talk about networking devices. What are some of the key ones, and what role do they play in connecting everything together? Sergio: There's plenty of devices for interconnectivity. These are devices that are different from the actual compute instances, virtual machines, cameras, and IPTV. These are for interconnecting networks. And they have several functionalities. 03:59 Nikita: Yeah, I often hear about a default gateway. Could you explain what that is and why it's essential for a network to function smoothly? Sergio: A gateway is basically where a web browser goes and asks a service from a web server. We have a gateway in the middle that will take us to that web server. So that's basically is the router. A gateway doesn't necessarily have to be a router. It depends on what device you're addressing at a particular configuration. So, a gateway is a connectivity device that connects two different networks. That's basically the functionality.  04:34 Lois: Ok. And when does one use a default gateway? Sergio: When you do not have a specific route that is targeting a specific router. You might have more than one router in your network, connecting to different other local area networks. You might have a route that will take you to local area network B. And then you might have another router that is connecting you to the internet. So, if you don't have a specific route that will take you to local area network B, then it's going to be utilizing the default gateway. It directs data packets to other networks when no specific route is known. In general terms, the default gateway, again, it doesn't have to be a router. It can be any devices. 05:22 Nikita: Could you give us a real-world example, maybe comparing a few of these devices in action, so we can see how they work together in a typical network? Sergio: For example, we have the hub. And the hub operates at the physical layer or layer 1. And then we have the switch. And the switch operates at layer 2. And we also have the router. And the router operates at layer 3. So, what's the big difference between these devices and the layers that they operate in? So, hubs work in the physical layer of the OSI model. And basically, it is for connecting multiple devices and making them act as a single network segment. Now, the switch operates at the data link layer and is basically a repeater, and is used for filtering content by reading the addresses of the source and destination. And these are the MAC addresses that I'm talking about. So, it reads where the packet is coming from and where is it going to at the local area network level. It connects multiple network segments. And each port is connected to a different segment. And the router is used for routing outside of your local area network, performs traffic directing functions on the internet. A data packet is typically forwarded from one router to another through different networks until it reaches its destination node. The switch connects multiple network segments. And each port of the switch is connected to a different segment. And the router performs traffic directing functions on the internet. It takes data from one router to another, and it works at the TCP/IP network layer or internet layer. 07:22 Lois: Sergio, what kind of devices help secure a network from external threats? Sergio: The network firewall is used as a security device that acts as a barrier between a trusted internal network and an untrusted external network, such as the internet. The network firewall is the first line of defense for traffic that passes in and out of your network. The firewall examines traffic to ensure that it meets the security requirements set by your organization, or allowing, or blocking traffic based on set criteria. And the main benefit is that it improves security for access management and network visibility. 08:10 Are you keen to stay ahead in today's fast-paced world? We've got your back!

Head over to mylearn.oracle.com to get started.  08:36 Nikita: Welcome back! Sergio, how do networks manage who can and can't enter based on certain permissions and criteria? Sergio: The access control list is like the gatekeeper into your local area network. Think about the access control list as the visa on your passport, assuming that the country is your local area network. Now, when you have a passport, you might get a visa that allows you to go into a certain country. So the access control list is a list of rules that defines which users, groups, or systems have permissions to access specific resources on your networks.  It is a gatekeeper, that is going to specify who's allowed and who's denied. If you don't have a visa to go into a specific country, then you are denied. Similar here, if you are not part of the rule, if the service that you're trying to access is not part of the rules, then you cannot get in. 09:37 Lois: That's a great analogy, Sergio. Now, let's turn our attention to one of the core elements of network security: authentication and authorization. Orlando, can you explain why authentication and authorization are such crucial aspects of a secure cloud network? Orlando: Security is one of the most critical pillars in modern IT systems. Whether you are running a small web app or managing global infrastructure, every secure system starts by answering two key questions. Who are you, and what are you allowed to do? This is the essence of authentication and authorization. Authentication is the first step in access control. It's how a system verifies that you are who you claim to be. Think of it like showing your driver's license at a security checkpoint. The guard checks your photo and personal details to confirm your identity. In IT systems, the same process happens using one or more of these factors. It will ask you for something you know, like a password. It will ask you for something that you have, like a security token, or it will ask you for something that you are, like a fingerprint. An identity does not refer to just a person. It's any actor, human or not, that interacts with your systems. Users are straightforward, think employees logging into a dashboard. But services and machines are equally important. A backend API may need to read data from a database, or a virtual machine may need to download updates. Treating these non-human identities with the same rigor as human ones helps prevent unauthorized access and improves visibility and security. After confirming your identity, can the system move on to deciding what you're allowed to access? That's where authorization comes in. Once authentication confirms who you are, authorization determines what you are allowed to do. Sticking with the driver's license analogy, you've shown your license and proven your identity, but that doesn't mean that you can drive anything anywhere. Your license class might let you drive a car, not a motorcycle or a truck. It might be valid in your country, but not in others. Similarly, in IT systems, authorization defines what actions you can take and on which resources. This is usually controlled by policies and roles assigned to your identity. It ensures that users or services only get access to the things they are explicitly allowed to interact with. 12:34 Nikita: How can organizations ensure secure access across their systems, especially when managing multiple users and resources?  Orlando: Identity and Access Management governs who can do what in our systems. Individually, authentication verifies identity and authorization grants access. However, managing these processes at scale across countless users and resources becomes a complex challenge. That's where Identity and Access Management, or IAM, comes in. IAM is an overarching framework that centralizes and orchestrates both authentication and authorization, along with other critical functions, to ensure secure and efficient access to resources.  13:23 Lois: And what are the key components and methods that make up a robust IAM system? Orlando: User management, a core component of IAM, provides a centralized Identity Management system for all user accounts and their attributes, ensuring consistency across applications. Key functions include user provisioning and deprovisioning, automating account creation for new users, and timely removal upon departure or role changes. It also covers the full user account lifecycle management, including password policies and account recovery. Lastly, user management often involves directory services integration to unify user information. Access management is about defining access permissions, specifically what actions users can perform and which resources they can access. A common approach is role-based access control, or RBAC, where permissions are assigned to roles and users inherit those permissions by being assigned to roles. For more granular control, policy-based access control allows for rules based on specific attributes. Crucially, access management enforces the principle of least privilege, granting only the minimum necessary access, and supports segregation of duties to prevent conflicts of interest. For authentication, IAM systems support various methods. Single-factor authentication, relying on just one piece of evidence like a password, offers basic security. However, multi-factor authentication significantly boosts security by requiring two or more distinct verification types, such as a password, plus a one-time code. We also have biometric authentication, using unique physical traits and token-based authentication, common for API and web services. 15:33 Lois: Orlando, when it comes to security, it's not just about who can access what, but also about keeping track of it all. How does auditing and reporting maintain compliance? Orlando: Auditing and reporting are essential for security and compliance. This involves tracking user activities, logging all access attempts and permission changes. It's vital for meeting compliance and regulatory requirements, allowing you to generate reports for audits. Auditing also aids in security incident detection by identifying unusual activities and providing data for forensic analysis after an incident. Lastly, it offers performance and usage analytics to help optimize your IAM system.  16:22 Nikita: That was an incredibly informative conversation. Thank you, Sergio and Orlando, for sharing your expertise with us. If you'd like to dive deeper into these concepts, head over to mylearn.oracle.com and search for the Cloud Tech Jumpstart course. Lois: I agree! This was such a great conversation! Don't miss next week's episode, where we'll continue exploring key security concepts to help organizations operate in a scalable, secure, and auditable way.

What would you do if the product your customers loved the most—the one they buy first, talk about the most, and happily pay premium prices for—was suddenly GONE… and you knew it would be two years before you could sell it again? This happened to one of my Farm Marketing School members, Stacie. She raises meat and sells a monthly membership that gives her customers first access to everything. But as of this month… her freezers are completely out of beef. Zero inventory. And she won't have more until 2027. She came to our group coaching call in full-on panic mode: "How do I keep selling when I don't have the thing everyone wants? What if my customers leave? What if they go to my competitor? What if my membership loses value?" The coaching that followed turned into one of the most powerful conversations we've had inside FMS. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing real excerpts from that Farm Marketing School coaching call. And between the clips, I jump in with my commentary to unpack the lessons you must hear—because even if you don't sell beef, I promise you… this conversation is about YOU. We'll explore: ✅ Why making assumptions about your customers will keep you stuck ✅ How scarcity can actually make your product MORE valuable (if you position it right) ✅ The mindset shift every farmer must make if they want to grow and evolve ✅ How running out of product might be the very thing that leads to your next breakthrough offer This episode will challenge the way you think about "problems" in your business—and may just help you see your current roadblock in a totally new way.

He called the collapses of both Valeant Pharmaceuticals and Nortel before they happened, and now he has some thoughts on AI. We talk about asking better questions, reading the fine print, the role of short selling, and what it means to be wrong. We explore why AI gives you information but not insight, why cheap risk is often the most expensive, and why nothing matters until it does.

As farmers, we live and breathe systems. We know when to seed, when to transplant, when to harvest. It's all about rhythm and routine. So why do we make our marketing so much harder than it needs to be? When I finally embraced this one simple mindset shift in my marketing — rinse and repeat — everything changed. Suddenly I wasn't recreating the wheel every season. I was building campaigns that got easier, faster, and more effective with time. I wish I'd adopted this sooner. In this episode, I unpack the powerful (and often overlooked) marketing hack of repeating what worked — instead of starting from scratch each season. I'll show you how to systematize your promotions so they become as routine as planting cucumbers in May. You'll walk away with permission to simplify and a plan to do it better next time — by doing what you already know works.

Everyone talks about “stepping out of your comfort zone,” but few actually do it.   In this episode, Brett breaks down one of the biggest lies in modern leadership and personal development — the illusion that we're pushing ourselves when in reality, we're just circling around what we already know.   We love to say we're doing “hard things” — grinding through workouts, taking on new projects, logging long hours — but most of that still sits inside our comfort zone. It's controlled, predictable, and familiar. It doesn't expose us to the kind of uncertainty, ego threat, or vulnerability that actually creates growth.   This episode forces you to get brutally honest about what you're running from.   You'll learn how to:   •Spot the difference between real growth and performative discomfort   •Recognize the fears you keep disguising as “preferences” or “boundaries”   •Understand the psychology of avoidance and how it limits your adaptability   •Reframe discomfort so it becomes a tool for progress, not a stunt for your ego   The world doesn't hand out points for pretending to grow. Leadership will drag your weaknesses into the open whether you like it or not — better to confront them before someone else does.   If you want to actually evolve — not just look busy doing it — this episode will give you the tools and truth to start that process.

This week, Jason and Matt welcome back a guest who has been on the front lines of the battle for police accountability for years—David, better known as San Joaquin Valley Transparency. Four years after his last appearance, we sit down to discuss the evolving landscape of citizen journalism and the ever-expanding police state under the current administration. The conversation kicks off with a dive deep into the political hypocrisy of the last few years, exploring how the right's brief awakening to the police state during COVID has evaporated, and how both political parties simply trade outrage-jerseys depending on who controls the White House. David gives us a crucial on-the-ground perspective from his community on the real-world impact of the recent ICE raids, cutting through the national media narrative. The discussion expands from the visible police on the street to the invisible digital panopticon of companies like Palantir, and we explore the chilling theory of a Hegelian dialectic—asking if social chaos is being deliberately engineered to make a frightened public beg for more control. David's evolution from a street-level auditor to an activist seeking systemic change at city council meetings is a powerful lesson in effective resistance. Despite the heavy subject matter, we close on a much-needed white pill for the future of liberty.
