The silver lining in spending so much time in hospitals with my husband for his heart condition is that I've adapted what I now call… a hospital bed perspective.   It's basically like this… If I was stuck in a hospital bed today… What would I be dying to do? What would I make time for? Who would I make time for? What would I prioritize?    It's easy to be in our routine and put things off or not realize that we aren't prioritizing the things and people that we really enjoy the most...   But all of a sudden, when you can't do those things, it becomes really clear what you would do if you had the chance.   At this stage of my life, I've gotten so clear on my priorities… What's important to me and what's not important to me so it makes it easier and faster to live life fully with this hospital bed perspective… What an incredible gift it is to be able to do so many things… we're just not going to waste it.       What the Hospital Bed Perspective Is The hospital bed perspective isn't about fear or negativity. It's about clarity. When your normal options are taken away, life becomes very simple. The noise drops. The distractions fade. What remains are the people, experiences, and moments that genuinely matter. This perspective removes urgency addiction, comparison, and busywork. It exposes what's meaningful and what has quietly been wasting your time. Ditch the little things- drama, things we should be letting go of anyway - they become obsolete.   Why We Lose Touch With Our Priorities Modern life makes it easy to drift. Routines become automatic. Busyness becomes a badge of honor. Important things get delayed because they aren't urgent. Weeks turn into months. Months turn into years. Without realizing it, many people protect work and obligations more fiercely than joy, relationships, health, or experiences. The hospital bed perspective interrupts that drift.   What Becomes Clear When You Use This Lens…  People Who you would want in the room. Who you wish you spent more time with. Where you may have been distracted, rushed, or unavailable. Time What would no longer deserve your energy. What would suddenly feel priceless. What you would deeply regret postponing. Energy What drains you that wouldn't matter from a hospital bed. What lights you up that you keep sidelining. Experiences Trips not taken. Conversations not had. Projects not started. Memories waiting to be made.   How to Bring the Hospital Bed Perspective Into Daily Life Using the question: "If I were stuck in a hospital bed next month, what would I wish I had done this week?" Running decisions through the filter: "Would this matter to me from a hospital bed?" Auditing your calendar to see if it reflects what you say matters Taking inventory of relationships you want to invest in more deeply Creating space for joy, presence, and experiences now... not "someday" This approach aligns your time with your values and turns clarity into momentum.   The Freedom This Perspective Creates Living with the hospital bed perspective naturally builds gratitude, urgency around what matters, and peace around what doesn't. It simplifies decisions, deepens relationships, and makes everyday life richer. It replaces postponing with presence and guilt with alignment.   Wrapping it up…  Most people gain this level of clarity only when life forces it on them. The gift is choosing it before you have to. You don't need a hospital bed to start living like someone who understands how valuable, fragile, and full life really is. You can choose that perspective now. And when you do, you stop wasting time. You stop delaying what matters. You start living in a way that actually matches what you care about. What an incredible gift it is to be able to go, build, love, move, dream, try, and experience. Let's not waste it!! 

  What do you do when your customer just… stops paying attention? This week's episode was inspired by a walk on our farm -- and a stubborn dog who found a vole in the field and completely tuned me out. Calling louder didn't work. Waiting didn't work. What finally worked was walking back out to her, getting in her line of sight, and offering her the right treat -- something she actually wanted. That moment sparked a powerful realization about customers who go quiet (and what actually brings them back). If you've ever looked at your email list or customer list and thought, "Where did everyone go?" -- this episode is for you. Customers going cold doesn't mean they're unhappy. It usually means they're distracted, out of rhythm, or don't have a clear reason to buy right now. In this episode, I introduce the concept of win-back campaigns (one of the simplest, highest-ROI marketing systems you can build for your farm). We'll talk about: Why customers go quiet (and why it's not personal) What a win-back campaign actually is (and what it's not) Why win-backs are much easier than most farmers think How a single win-back campaign can become a reusable asset you run year after year This episode is a pared-down training -- just enough to help you see what's possible and why it's worth doing, without overwhelming you with tech or tactics. If you want the step by step for how to actually build this asset fast, I have an entire project inside of Farm Marketing School on Setting Up Your Win-Back Campaign, including: How to identify cold customers How to build your win back offer How to set up tags and automations in your email provider How to write the emails (with templates + AI prompts) How to turn win-backs into a repeatable, yearly system

"I put myself in situations where I didn't have a back door and couldn't run away from myself. The natural consequence was that I felt lighter, and I'm finishing the year more proud of myself than I've ever been, with more confidence." In this episode, Heather guides you through her unique process for creating a personalized, focused plan for 2026 that brings real lightness into your life. But that doesn't mean bypassing internal struggles or heavy emotions, because you can't reclaim your time or create more peace without addressing your biggest energy leaks. If your goal is to feel lighter next year, while bringing on more responsibilities that move you forward, this conversation will guide you to work with the four essential energy types that support real growth, so you can release what no longer fits and move forward with more ease, clarity, and self-trust. What to listen for: ✨ 80% of how you spend your day is hiding, and why you need a north star ✨ The four types of energy you need to understand how to manage for growth ✨ Understanding the type of dreamer you are and how to work with yourself ✨ Why the more responsibility you have, the lighter you should feel "When you begin to embody this identity of 'the more responsibility I have, the lighter I should feel', your brain begins to find evidence of how that's possible. Because the way that you manage your time and energy is focused on how light you can feel." ✨ Shifting the belief systems that limit your ability to experience lightness ✨ Continuously and relentlessly facing the parts of yourself you avoid ✨ Living for others as a way to feel better, but with strong boundaries "You have to face parts of yourself that you've never, ever, ever faced, especially with that identity. And to be lighter, you have to let go." ✨ Getting radically honest about what you're sacrificing by holding on to stories ✨ Auditing the tasks currently on your plate to uncover what you can release ✨ Holding the emotional discomfort of learning how to trust and receive ✨ Why women often use strategy and information to avoid integration "You have one precious life, and if you're wasting time on a strategy that's not working, it's time to put it down. If you are wasting it on relationships or skills that aren't working, or you feel like you've outgrown a career, it's time to put them down." ✨ Using community support to enhance personal growth and accountability ✨ Understanding that fear can be a catalyst for growth if managed intentionally ✨ Creating a 'Wouldn't It Be Nice' list to help clarify your desires ******* For those of you who are ready to stop feeling drained, overextended, and out of alignment… join me for a one-on-one Time & Energy Audit, a focused session designed to help high-achieving women uncover what's draining them, clarify what truly matters, and create a simple plan that fits their life. We'll pinpoint your biggest time + energy leaks, identify the top areas to focus on for quick momentum, and map out exactly what to let go of so you can reclaim your energy, your time, and your joy.

Every January, we're told to start fresh by setting goals, building plans, and fixing what didn't work last year. But what if that pressure is the very thing that keeps us stuck? In this episode, I'm inviting you to try something different—something simpler, deeper, and far more sustainable. Instead of resolutions or rigid goals, what if you chose one word to guide your year? In this episode, I walk you through the practice of choosing a one-word intention—and how that single word can become a lens for your decisions, your energy, and the way you show up in both life and business. I share: Why one word is often more powerful than a long goal list How to discern your word (not the one you think you "should" choose) How I'm personally exploring the words abundance and enough this year Simple, non-overwhelming ways to actually live into your word all year long Homework Assignment After listening, take 15–20 minutes to reflect on these questions: What themes keep showing up in my life right now? What feels like it's being invited to grow or heal this year? What word feels grounding, expansive, or gently challenging -- rather than forced? Then: Write your word somewhere you'll see it often Choose one simple practice that helps you live into it (a habit, a reminder, a question, or a boundary) Let me know what your word is @mydigitalfarmer on Instagram!

The "No Resolution" New Year: Why Waiting for January 1st is a Trap | Ep. 354 Why do we wait for a specific date on the calendar to change our lives? In Episode 354 of the Prime Podcast, Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie Wies challenge the traditional concept of New Year's Resolutions. With statistics showing most resolutions fail within three weeks, we discuss a better approach: The "No Resolution" New Year. We dive deep into the psychology of procrastination and why waiting for January 1st is actually a lack of confidence. Instead of a "clean slate" once a year, we talk about changing your attitude in seconds and controlling the "controllables" (what you eat, what you think, and who you hang out with). This episode focuses heavily on the "Rule of 5"—the idea that you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. If your circle is full of "Crabs in a Bucket" (people who pull you down when you try to climb out), 2026 will look exactly like 2025. It's time to audit your circle, ignore the haters who only show up when you succeed, and make the decision to change today. In This Episode, You Will Learn: The 3-Week Trap: Why 90% of New Year's resolutions are dead by January 21st. Control Your Controllables: You can't control the President or the weather, but you can control your sugar intake and your words. The Rule of 5 Audit: How your 5 closest friends determine your income, health, and attitude. Crabs in a Bucket: Why you have 50 cheerleaders when you are failing, but haters when you succeed. Indecision is a Decision: Why doing nothing is actually letting the world choose your life for you. Dr. Julie's Advice: Why "Done is better than Perfect" and taking the leap of faith.

Every December, I love to pull out something fun, festive, and just a little bit cheeky to celebrate the season… and this year, we're doing it farm-style. Today's episode is a playful spin on the classic song The 12 Days of Christmas — but instead of partridges and pear trees, we're singing our way through 12 foundational marketing must-haves every farm business needs to grow, thrive, and sell consistently. You'll laugh. You'll nod your head. And you'll walk away with a massive checklist of the exact pieces you need to build a truly functional farm marketing system. Whether you're brand-new or refining your strategy for next season… this episode is the perfect year-end reset. Think of this as a "greatest hits" episode — a roundup of twelve core marketing pillars that I believe every direct-to-consumer farmer should prioritize. Each "day" of the song highlights one marketing asset (or strategy) that will transform the way you sell. And for every one of the 12 items, I point you to a specific podcast episode in my archives where you can dive deeper. By the end, you'll have a full "12 Days of Christmas" marketing checklist — PLUS a clear roadmap for what to work on next. It's fun. It's educational. It's actionable. Are you ready?!!... Let's sing the song together.

Auditing split/shared encounters can become confusing when providers, auditors, and coders are not aligned. CPT and CMS have both issued guidance to help clarify how these services should be billed.

In this episode of the Private Practice Podcast, Dr Brooklyn Storm unpacks what actually needs to be in place to minimise overwhelm and maximise results in your private practice, without burning out or constantly chasing the next strategy. This episode goes beyond surface-level advice.   You'll learn why overwhelm is often not a time or motivation problem, but a missing structure, identity, or foundation problem in your business. Brooklyn walks you through the essential systems, processes, policies, planning, and identity shifts that support profitability, sustainability, and a sense of safety in your practice. This is especially relevant if you're newly qualified, transitioning into private practice, or have been running a practice for a while but feel like you're winging it and hoping things will work out.   You'll also hear real-world insights into why businesses stagnate, why marketing can feel exhausting when foundations are missing, and why simplifying your offerings often creates better results than adding more. This episode connects the mind, business, and spirit of private practice and explains how identity, energy, and structure work together to create momentum, clarity, and confidence.   If you've ever thought about pausing your practice because it “isn't working,” this episode will help you see what's really happening and what to focus on instead.

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.

A slew of big tax disputes and the worldwide upheaval brought on by the Trump administration's aggressive trade policy made for an exceptionally interesting year for transfer pricing professionals, and left them with lingering questions heading into 2026. President Donald Trump's April tariff announcements sent shock waves through the global economy and forced corporate tax heads—and C suites—to start figuring out what it all meant for their tax and transfer pricing positions, and whether they needed to make changes to fend off potential audits. At the same time, companies are seeing a growing number of audits and transfer pricing disputes—often with big dollar figures—as tax authorities around the world beef up their auditing and enforcement capabilities with staff, AI, and stronger reporting requirements. Auditing multinationals can bring them big tax rewards. That might be less true at the IRS, where the Trump administration has drastically reduced resources and staffing. On this episode of Talking Tax, Bloomberg Tax transfer pricing reporter Caleb Harshberger discusses what's been going on in the world of transfer pricing—which governs transactions within corporate groups—and what he's keeping an eye out for next year.

Dr. Yuan Li, Director of Medical Business at DQS and a former medical device auditor with deep expertise across orthopaedic manufacturing and regulatory systems.In this episode, we discuss the sweeping regulatory transition coming to the U.S. with the introduction of the Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR), which formally aligns 21 CFR Part 820 with ISO 13485. Yuan unpacks what this shift means for U.S.-based manufacturers, why FDA is phasing out the QSR audit model and why contract manufacturers and software-based device firms are particularly vulnerable if they delay planning.We also explore the growing use of AI in QMS platforms, the pitfalls of template-driven compliance, and why “regulatory fatigue” is no excuse when patients' lives are at stake.

You've got seventeen AI tools scattered across your browser tabs right now, don't you? Yet somehow you're still manually doing the same repetitive tasks that drove you to purchase those licenses in the first place. Whether you're a solopreneur building your empire or leading a team trying to eliminate admin drag, here's the brutal truth - most entrepreneurs are picking AI tools like they're shopping for shiny objects at a tech bazaar, grabbing whatever looks innovative without any strategic thinking behind it. Kevin Williams, CEO and Co-Founder of an AI enablement company, has cracked the code that most of us struggle with: building a daily workflow using tools like n8n, Gamma, and Whisper Flow that actually simplifies operations instead of complicating them. This guy has taken his company philosophy of "adventure, education, automation" and applied it to create a personal tech stack that's so effective, he literally can't imagine working without these specific applications. In this episode, Kevin pulls back the curtain on exactly which tools made the cut and why - plus the strategic thinking that separates useful AI from expensive digital clutter. You'll discover his decision-making framework for evaluating new tools, how his essential stack works together to create seamless automation, and why fewer, better-integrated tools beat sprawling collections of disconnected AI applications. Because at the end of the day, it's not about having more AI tools - it's about having the right tools working together like a well-oiled machine to reclaim your time and focus on what actually drives results. The AI Hat Podcast host Mike Allton asked Kevin Williams about: ✨ Strategic Tool Selection Framework - Learn the decision-making process Kevin uses to separate genuinely useful AI tools from shiny object syndrome purchases. ✨ Essential Daily Workflow Stack - Discover the specific tools Kevin can't live without and how they work together to create seamless automation. ✨ Quality Over Quantity Approach - Understand why fewer, better-integrated tools beat a sprawling collection of disconnected AI applications.

For years, federal audit contractors have treated statistical extrapolation as the unassailable engine driving massive overpayment demands. The premise sounds reasonable enough: review a small sample of claims, calculate an error rate, and multiply across the entire population to produce a "statistically valid" overpayment figure.In a perfect world, this approach might hold up. But healthcare isn't a perfect world. It's a domain where coding is inherently subjective, documentation varies dramatically by provider, and even seasoned experts routinely disagree on the same chart. In this environment, extrapolation doesn't multiply truth—it amplifies uncertainty. Join us Monday during the long-running Monitor Monday when senior healthcare analyst Frank Cohen returns to the broadcast to debunk long-held beliefs regarding auditing, auditors and extrapolation. Broadcast segments 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. ·      Legislative Update: Cate Brantley, legislative affairs analyst for Zelis, will report on the news happening at the intersection of healthcare and congressional action.·      Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.

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. The good news is I'm going live on Saturday, December 6, 2025, at 10 am Mountain...

The False Claims Act (FCA) suit was initiated by the U.S. government, not a traditional whistleblower. Nonetheless, the recent $45 million settlement with a Florida physician and his wound care group – Vohra Wound Physicians Management LLC – resolved allegations that group knowingly submitted claims to Medicare for medically unnecessary yet lucrative surgical procedures, when routine non-surgical wound management had actually been done.  During the next live edition of the long-running Monitor Monday Internet broadcast, famed whistleblower attorney Mary Inman will report the details of the amazing case, as a not-so-subtle reminder that crime doesn't pay.Broadcast segments 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. ·      Legislative Update: Matthew Albright, chief government affairs analyst for Zelis, will report on the news happening at the intersection of healthcare and congressional action.·      Risky Business: Healthcare attorney David Glaser, shareholder in the law offices of Fredrikson & Byron, will join the broadcast with his trademark segment.

Sojourn Group consulting specializes in marketplace sales, and has evolved from being a third party seller into an agency that helps other sellers grow their marketplace presence without having to hire a full team. Their years of experience and team make their bolt on solution very simple for many companies. Outside of work, he is happily married for 15 years and is the father of four children ages eight, six, four and two. That makes him very busy at this stage in his life. He says there's little time for anything except work and family. So welcome to the podcast, Josh.Josh Gibson 00:00:45  Thank you. 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. You can los...

Have you ever shared something genuinely valuable… and it feels like nobody cares? You post content that could literally help people — and it gets ignored. You speak up at work or in your community, and it's like your voice doesn't matter. Meanwhile, someone with half your wisdom and half your experience gets all the attention. Here's the uncomfortable truth: In this world, people don't respond to value first. They respond to signals. And if you don't understand that, your message will never break through. Let me show you why this happens — and what the Bible actually says about 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. Theyvexplore: - Recent policy shifts at EPA under the Trump Administration and their implications for regulated industries - The benefits of EPA's Audit Policy and the New Owner Audit Policy - Key considerations and potential risks when undertaking audits and disclosures - Practical tips to preserve privilege and maximize penalty mitigation - Insights into EPA's coordination with state agencies and how that impacts disclosure decisions To view the slide deck, click here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.kelleydrye.com/content/uploads/Environmental-Auditing-and-Penalty-Mitigation_Leveraging-EPAs-Audit-Policy-Under-the-Trump-Administration.pdf To view the full Zoom recording of the wfebinar, click here: https://vimeo.com/1129965500/6bac9e3b70?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and you might be thinking, "It's too late to pull off a holiday promo." But guess what? It's not. This time of year, your customers are already in buying mode -- planning meals, prepping for gatherings, and looking for unique local gifts. Which means there's money sitting on the table right now for your farm. In this episode, I'm showing you how to grab it. In this week's episode, I'm giving you plug-and-play ideas for last-minute Thanksgiving offers you can launch this week -- even if you feel behind. You'll learn:

This week's episode was inspired by an email from a listener named Jenna, who wrote in with a fantastic question: "As our season ends in December and the next CSA won't begin until spring, I'm wondering how you handle your private CSA Facebook group between seasons. 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? In this episode, I unpack exactly how I manage my own CSA group, what's worked, what hasn't, and share a roadmap to help you decide what's best for yours. Because your Facebook group isn't just a communication tool… it's a connection tool. It's what helps people feel like they belong; and when they belong, they stay. In this episode, you'll learn: The real purpose of your CSA Facebook group (hint: it's about building community, not just sharing logistics) The three main ways to manage your group at the end of the season -- and the pros and cons of each Why I now keep my group open year-round and DON'T remove non-members How to keep engagement alive through the off-season How to position your Facebook group as a perk of membership  Why "grooming" your group matters, and what to do with members who don't renew This conversation will help you see your CSA group for what it truly is -- a powerful relationship and retention tool that keeps customers coming back season after season.

Anthony Scilipoti is one of the sharpest minds in investing. He's the President and CEO of Veritas Group of Companies. 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. It's a conversation about the difference between seeing and understanding and the discipline to notice what everyone else ignores. This episode is not investment advice.
