Chris Bassitt, Jeff Hoffman, and Yimi Garcia pitching like the best starter, closer, and setup man in baseball will certainly help in that regard.

This week on The Whiskey Trip, Big Chief rolls into Statesville, North Carolina—a city once hailed as the “liquor capital of the world”, where whiskey-making wasn't just a trade, it was the lifeblood of the region. He heads to Southern Distilling Company, where that spirit of craftsmanship and community is alive and well. There, he sits down with founder and owner Pete Barger, a visionary reviving Statesville's legacy sip by sip. With a rocks glass of their rich wheated bourbon in hand, Big Chief listens as Pete shares the deep roots of whiskey in Western Carolina—and how Southern Distilling is carrying that torch into a bold new era. From producing over 20,000 barrels a year to being the go-to source for contract distillation, Pete and his team are giving brands across the country a taste of real Carolina pride—rooted in heritage, aged with honor, and bottled with purpose. This episode is more than just a tasting. It's a tribute to a region reborn, where history pours strong and tradition never fades. This is The Whiskey Trip. Cheers, y'all.

Imagine this: seven days, seven different airports, and never leaving the terminal. No hotel rooms, just uncomfortable airport benches. Showers? Airport bathrooms only. Food? A strict $20-a-day budget. This wasn't a punishment; it was an experiment. In this special episode of The Thermostat Podcast, Jason V. Barger shares the remarkable origin story of his "Step Back from the Baggage Claim" philosophy – a journey that began with a bold, unconventional research project. Jason immersed himself in the chaotic world of airport terminals, observing human behavior at its most raw. He witnessed the "human wall of entitlement" at baggage carousels, the frustration of delayed flights, and the fleeting interactions between strangers. This experience became the foundation for his groundbreaking work on leadership and corporate culture. This episode isn't just about airports. It's about: The Power of Perspective: How stepping back from the everyday rush can reveal profound insights about ourselves and the cultures we create. Human Connection in a Disconnected World: Why recognizing the humanity in those around us is crucial for both personal and organizational success. Navigating Adversity: Learning to respond to challenges with intention and grace, rather than reacting with frustration. The Courage to Begin: How a seemingly crazy idea, fueled by a desire to make a difference, can transform into a meaningful career. Intentions and Actions: What you can do to become the ambassador of change. Join Jason as he reflects on the lessons learned during those seven days, the key principles that still guide his work, and how the "Step Back" philosophy can help you lead more effectively and create a more positive impact, wherever you are. This is the story of how a unique experiment sparked a movement – and it might just change the way you think about leadership, culture, and the power of human connection. Tune in and discover how to "step back to move forward" in your own life and work. You will not want to miss the start of Jason V. Barger and what has led him to be a sought-after keynote speaker. How did all of this journey begin and what was the point?

Nichole Barger is an ecologist, former university professor, and the current deputy chief scientist and lead global scientist for The Nature Conservancy. She earned her master's degree from the University of California at Berkeley and her PhD from Colorado State University, and her career has included extensive time researching, teaching, and practicing on-the-ground, frontline conservation on issues including land degradation, restoration, and more. Prior to assuming her current position at TNC, she was the research director of the Canyonlands Research Center located at the Dugout Ranch, which you may remember as the subject of a Mountain & Prairie episode back in August of 2024.  Given her distinguished career as a scientist, you might be surprised to learn that Nichole never considered pursuing science as a vocation until the second half of her time in college. She grew up in small-town Indiana, and, although she was extremely curious, a great student, and a voracious reader, she was not particularly enamored with science and didn't know anyone who worked as a scientist. But during college, a supportive-yet-casual comment from one of her professors planted the seed that science could be an option. Fast forward to today, she has published more than 70 peer-reviewed papers, she co-chairs the Science Policy Interface group of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification, and she leads many of TNC's cutting-edge science initiatives.  As you'll hear, Nichole brings a deep level of empathy, curiosity, and open-mindedness to all of her work as a scientist. Whether she's teaching, researching, or working with conservation stakeholders, she never loses sight of the importance of human connection. We spent the first half of the conversation discussing lessons learned from her nontraditional path into the world of science, including a two-year stint where she left college to travel and explore the United States. We discussed her renewed focus on academics when she returned to school, and the moment that professor planted the seed that eventually grew into her career in science. We discuss teaching versus research, how she evolved as an educator and mentor to college students, and when she decided to apply her talents to TNC's mission. We discuss TNC's incorporation of Indigenous wisdom and science into its work, human health as a conservation initiative, and the importance of face-to-face human interactions. She also offers some excellent book recommendations and ideas for remaining optimistic and action-oriented during challenging times.  There's so much wisdom packed into this episode, so be sure to check out the episode notes for a complete list of topics and links to everything. A huge thanks to Nichole for the great conversation and thank you for listening. --- Nichole Barger TNC's science work --- This episode is brought to you in partnership with the Colorado chapter of The Nature Conservancy and TNC chapters throughout the Western United States.
