Another episode ending on the number 5 means 'One Hit Wonders and Remixes', which has a slightly different definition of 'one hit wonders' to the one used by radio DJs. If you're new here, don't worry! You'll receive a proper definition during the show. If you're a hardcore BCS addict/power user, you already know the drill. As always, we present ten tracks from different eras, genres, and media.

Dave Chapman tells us about the origins of the Real Organic Project, and why preserving organic standards is important for all growers whether certified organic or not in this week's podcast. Dave is the co-director of the Real Organic Project (ROP) and owner of Long Wind Farm in Vermont. The ROP is active in preserving the standards of the National Organic Program (NOP) in the face of lobbying by agribusiness to relax them, particularly in the areas of allowing hydroponics to be certified organic and enforcing animal welfare standards in organic production.This is the first of a two-part conversation about the ROP, this one focusing on hydroponics and the forthcoming episode will focus on preserving animal welfare standards. Dave highlights the impact on consumer trust that comes from weakening the NOP, and the future of organic standards as corporations push for changing them. The conversation also touches on the challenges posed by container production and herbicide use in “organic” farming, the health impacts of chemical agriculture and the growth of the Real Organic Certification initiative. Connect With Guest:Instagram: @realorganicprojectWebsite: realorganicproject.org Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support:BCS two-wheel tractors are designed and built in Italy where small-scale farming has been a way of life for generations.

Can the Ohio State Buckeyes repeat as national champions in the 2025 college football season? On this Kings of the North, Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis go inside the numbers on attempted title repeats since the start of the BCS. That includes how many champs returned starting quarterbacks, lost coordinators and would have made an expanded 12-team playoff. There's a big picture discussion here about the challenges of repeating, and a smaller picture investigation of what the Buckeyes have back and need to navigate to do it. Also, time for another KOTN Showdown. This time it's a Big Ten vs. Big 12 battle as the guys decide if they'd rather be Rutgers or Kansas in 2025. Plus Whatcha Watching, Eating and Thinking. Thanks for joining Kings of the North.

This week, the Craft Brewed Sports crew dives into the latest college football playoff shake-up. We debate the new straight seeding model, argue why the BCS should handle reseeding, and call out the constant format changes. Plus, we tackle NIL and the transfer portal mess, a Xavier tangent, and ask: what athletes should serve as their alma mater's GM? There's also talk of Trevor Bauer's Japan disaster, a 24x24x24x24 challenge, Pacers-Knicks playoff fun, the next NBA face, and plenty of beer. Oh, and Joe Theismann doesn't wash his hands.

Desaparecen integrantes del grupo “Fugitivo” Se registra sismo de 5.8 en Cabo San Lucas Neuroestimulación de médula hace caminar a un paciente en Milán 

O Brasil realiza a Conferência do Clima da ONU, a COP30, em Belém, em novembro, e os investimentos para adaptação e combate às mudanças climáticas, tanto públicos como privados, estão no centro dos debates. Mas como as empresas privadas podem colaborar? A participação de governos e representantes da sociedade civil (ONGs, associações) nas negociações climáticas é relativamente conhecida. Já o papel do setor privado costuma ser menos noticiado e até levanta questionamentos.  Para a embaixadora Liliam Chagas, diretora do Departamento de Clima do Itamaraty, a crise climática e suas negociações devem envolver todos os setores. Ela participou nesta segunda-feira (26) do Brazil Climate Summit Paris (BCS Paris), organizado pelo Instituto Europeu de Administração, o Insead, com apoio de empresas e organizações de consultoria e gestão. O evento discute como o país pode atrair mais capital sustentável e verde."Essas conversas sobre clima, precisam envolver muito além de governos. Um evento como esse, que traz empresas, CEOs, pessoas que trabalham com sustentabilidade no setor privado, ajuda a ir construindo o conhecimento necessário para que os governos possam saber onde o setor privado precisa de maior regulamentação, ou onde eles precisam de estímulo para investir em um determinado ator da economia", diz Liliam Chagas sobre o BCS Paris. "Isso tudo é uma construção que vai levando a um maior conhecimento para que as decisões possam ser tomadas na direção correta", salienta. Nas últimas COPs, no entanto, a grande presença de investidores e empresas do setor privado geraram críticas da sociedade civil, comparando a conferência com um grande evento para empresários. Liliam Chagas defende que uma COP é uma "reunião de vários elementos", mas o principal continua sendo as negociações multilaterais sobre a Convenção do Clima, do Protocolo de Kyoto e posteriormente do Acordo de Paris."Quem executa as políticas decididas, no entanto, vai muito além dos governos", diz. “Então isso justifica que empresas, mas também universidades, centros de pesquisa, de tecnologia, sejam importantes. Que esse grupo de atores participe desses encontros, porque eles fazem parte da solução", defende.Para a embaixadora brasileira, a palavra de ordem é “mutirão”. “Cada país, cada parte desse jogo, precisa dar sua contribuição. Tem lugar para todo mundo nas COPs”, diz. “A mobilização global contra a mudança do clima que a gente está oferecendo é dentro do conceito de mutirão, que é bem brasileiro, vem de uma língua indígena brasileira, o Tupi e significa que quando você tem uma tarefa muito ampla, muito difícil de fazer, você não pode fazer sozinho. Então é isso que nós estamos chamando, o mutirão global contra a mudança do clima. Além disso, um balanço ético global, onde a gente espera, ao longo do ano, ter discussões em pontos específicos do mundo, trazendo pessoas, não só empresários, mas artistas, filósofos, estudantes, comunidades, sobre uma discussão sobre que futuro nós queremos, que futuro a gente precisa construir para que as próximas gerações continuem usufruindo”, diz.VulnerabilidadesO Brasil tem a ambição de se posicionar como parte da solução para a transição energética, mas o país esbarra em sua própria vulnerabilidade às mudanças climáticas. Elas ficaram claras nas inundações do Rio Grande do Sul, nas secas que assolaram diversas regiões do país, inclusive a amazônica no ano passado.Para Liliam Chagas, contudo, estas vulnerabilidades só mostram que o Brasil está certo em tentar liderar o mundo para construir políticas que tragam soluções de uma forma mais rápida.“A COP30 será uma janela de oportunidades para que novos mecanismos, novas ferramentas de restauro de floresta, de reflorestamento e de soluções financeiras para que isso possa acontecer”, defende a embaixadora, que apresentou o projeto Arco da Restauração. A iniciativa do governo brasileiro visa restaurar 6 milhões de hectares de floresta na região conhecida como “arco do desmatamento”, região críticas de desmatamento da floresta amazônica, que engloba partes dos estados Mato Grosso, Acre, Amazonas, Pará, Maranhão, Rondônia e Tocantins.  O projeto, apresentado na COP28, em Dubai, tem o ambicioso objetivo de reduzir 1 °C nas temperaturas da Terra. O Acordo de Paris cumpre 10 anos em 2025 e o aniversário será marcado pelo aquecimento recorde do planeta. Em 2024, o aumento das temperaturas da Terra ultrapassaram pela primeira vez o +1,5°C, meta fixada pelo acordo.Mutirão A ex-estudante do Insead Luiza Boechat entendeu o conceito de mutirão defendido por Liliam Chagas. Ela é uma das responsáveis por trazer para a França, em 2024, o Brazil Climate Summit (BCS), realizado primeiramente na Universidade de Columbia, em Nova York, desde 2022."Acho que a COP do ano passado teve grandes avanços em NCQG (Novos objetivos coletivos quantificados de financiamento climático) e a desse ano vai ter o Baku to Belém roadmap, para mobilizar U$ 1,3 trilhão (para financiar o enfrentamento das mudanças climáticas). Assim você faz o mundo das finanças funcionar. Você precisa saber: o dinheiro tem que fluir para as coisas acontecerem”, defende Luiza."A Europa é um ambiente mais regulado em clima do que os outros países. Eles têm mercado de carbono há décadas. Eu acho que até por ter uma renda média maior, o consumidor europeu também consegue pagar produtos com green premium (de valor mais elevado, mas com menor pegada de carbono) que eventualmente algumas áreas oferecem. Então, acho que tem uma pressão também da sociedade um pouco maior em clima. Por isso, para mim, fazia muito sentido ter o BCS aqui", afirma."É claro que os investidores, principalmente os europeus, muito mais do que outros investidores, têm essa preocupação com sustentabilidade um pouco maior do que os outros lugares do mundo", diz Vitória Raymundo, aluna do Insead e uma das organizadoras do BCS de Paris este ano.“O objetivo é unir investidores que querem pagar e investir em clima para falar, olha, o Brasil tem soluções e potencial, baixo custo, competitividade para descarbonizar globalmente”, explicam as organizadoras.Cerca de 70% dos participantes do evento são de fora do Brasil e 30% brasileiros. O objetivo, segundo Luiza, é causar um impacto positivo para o país.“E talvez para colocar em contexto de COP, agora a gente tem essa história do mutirão. Acho que o BCS é, no fundo, uma forma de mutirão. Acho que é totalmente o que a gente faz aqui. Já vem fazendo há algum tempo", afirma. “Tentando fomentar coisas que vão ser ações. Então fazer essas conexões para fazer projeto, para fazer investimento, para, de fato, descarbonizar o Brasil e o mundo. Essa é a visão."

She also cautions against being pigeonholed into stereotypical roles expected of women.Vision for the Future: Sharon envisions a more inclusive tech industry: "Diversity is not about creating conflict... We want justice for everyone. I would like to see us in a world five to 10 years time where we're embracing that even more."Featured Insights:The value of creating communities for women in technologyHow BCS provides professional development and networking opportunitiesThe importance of the CITP certification for establishing credibilityThe critical distinction between mentorship and sponsorshipHow diverse teams create more innovative solutionsWhy Listen:This episode provides valuable perspectives for both women navigating careers in tech and leaders committed to creating more inclusive environments.

Have you ever thought of a project that would be perfect for your farm, except that it's not profitable? It might be possible with a for-profit/nonprofit partnership! In this episode we explore these partnerships with Amber Lambke, cofounder and CEO of Maine Grains. We'll hear how such a partnership helped her start a gristmill in a repurposed Victorian-era jailhouse, which has spurred the revival of grain production in Maine.Amber shares insights on the challenges of building a business in a rural area, the complexities of funding agricultural projects, the role of nonprofits in supporting local economies, and the implications of tax laws on grant funding. We explore innovative funding models to enhance agricultural sustainability and food security, the intricacies of forming and operating a nonprofit organization, the importance of having a clear mission, understanding the legal requirements for nonprofit status, and the challenges of securing funding through grants. As an example, interviewer and GFM editor Andrew Mefferd describes a greenhouse project for his farm to see if Amber thinks it might be a good candidate for such a partnership.Connect With Guest:Instagram: @mainegrainsWebsite: mainegrains.comPodcast Sponsors:Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: BCS two-wheel tractors are designed and built in Italy where small-scale farming has been a way of life for generations.

Kelley Rajala of Clear Lake Gardens in Aitken, Minnesota, shares what it was like to start a farm in California and then relocate to Minnesota in this interview with host April Parms Jones. Hear about moving the farm, and the differences between market farming in the two areas, with the new Minnesota location being much more rural than where they started out in the Santa Rosa area of California (e.g. there's one stop light in the new county). Listeners can learn a lot from the process of finding customers in the new location, including outreach, building relationships with local markets, and introducing customers to new crops with promotions and events to get the community involved.Kelley discusses the challenges and rewards of farming, the significance of crop diversification, and the need for resilience in the face of climate change. They also discuss the value of unusual crops like golden raspberries, the concept of food as medicine, and the joys and challenges of running a farm stand. Kelley offers strategies for how to educate customers about local produce, the benefits of being part of a farmers union, and the legacy of cooperative farming.Connect With Guest:Instagram: @clearlakegardensWebsite: clearlakegardens.orgPodcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support:Farmhand is the all-in-one virtual assistant created for CSA farmers.

Having started several farms before their current Lovin' Mama Farm in Amsterdam, New York, we hear from Corinne Hansch and Matthew Leon what they learned from their previous farms, and what they did differently this time. They discuss their journey from California to New York, the challenges of adapting to a new climate, and ways they are trying to find work-life balance on a busy, year-round farm.In order to sell year-round, and hang onto good crew members by not having to let them go at the end of the season, they have branched out into new markets like Etsy, along with several farmers markets and more traditional outlets. Hear how they sell flowers and produce that come back from market (hint: it involves a lot of drying). They also discuss how a strong commitment to regenerative, Real Organic certified practices is the foundation of their farm in this great interview with host Katie Kulla. Connect With Guest:Instagram: @lovinmamafarmWebsite: lovinmamafarm.comPodcast Sponsors:Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: BCS two-wheel tractors are designed and built in Italy where small-scale farming has been a way of life for generations.

In this episode of Walkin 90, we dive headfirst into the beautiful chaos that is the BCS-style USL League One rankings—yes, the Chaos BCS is back and as wild as ever. We break down the early storylines from Week 1, from surprising performances to teams already making statements. Plus, we look ahead to the upcoming matchups that have us marking our calendars. Whether you're a longtime League One fan or just hopping on the ride, this episode sets the tone for a wild season ahead.

This week we hear from Sarahlee Lawrence, who runs a full-diet CSA plus events like longtable dinners on the farm she grew up on in the town of Sisters, Oregon. She took the livestock elements her parents pioneered, and added vegetables and more, so they can fill out the menu year-round for their full-diet CSA members and farm-to-table dinner events. Which is all the more impressive due to the fact that the central Oregon high desert climate is not an easy one to grow in, with little precipitation and frost a possibility almost any day of the year.Sarahlee emphasizes the role of her team and apprentices in managing the diverse operations of the farm, as well as the unique culture that has developed around it. She discusses the challenges and realities of farming in a frequently smoke-affected region, the complexities of navigating regulations for animal products, and the management of dairy production, in addition to many greenhouses of vegetables and field production. She also shares insights into their unique full diet model that emphasizes community engagement and sustainability, as well as the evolution of hosting events on the farm to foster connections through food. In this conversation, Sarahlee discusses the intricacies of managing events on her farm, the importance of creating memorable dining experiences, her journey in writing a book, the challenges posed by climate change, and her deep love for farming. Connect With Guest:Instagram: @rainshadoworganicsWebsite: rainshadoworganics.com Podcast Sponsors:Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: Local Line is the all-in-one sales platform for direct-market farms and food hubs of all sizes.

Resources Mentioned: Unbound BCS VolunteerRequest Training for Your Group (church, co-op, neighborhood, etc)DonateNight of Hope Fund Raiser Kerry: Hey, everyone, Kerry Beck here with Life Skills Leadership Summit. If you've been around me, you know I love partnering with great organizations. Today, I have the privilege of talking to Naomi, the director of our local Unbound group. You may not know much about them, but you're going to learn a lot. Naomi, thanks so much for being here today.Naomi: Yes, thanks for having me, Kerry.Kerry: Well, I'm not going to sit here and just talk—I'm going to ask you all the hard questions and put you on the spot. I was going to ask you beforehand how to say your last name properly since I never got it right.Naomi: I know people always get uncomfortable announcing it, but my last name is Rijpstra.Kerry: There you go! Letting you say it is so much better than getting it wrong. I've known about Unbound and participated with them, even back when I was on the prayer team at church. My heart goes out to what they do—fighting against human trafficking. So, let's get started. Naomi, tell people a little bit about yourself and Unbound, and how you connected with them.Naomi: Sure. First, I want to say thank you so much for being involved with Unbound. You've been around as long as I have, involved in so many ways, and we're really grateful for that. I started with Unbound in 2021—so that's four years ago. I'm originally from the Netherlands, where I worked as a social worker with diverse populations. I came to the States, and that's when I first encountered trafficking. I began working as a house parent at a ranch for girls who were trafficked. That was my introduction to understanding the trauma of human trafficking. I never thought that would be God's journey for me, but that's how it works.Since then, over more than ten years, I've worked in the anti-trafficking field both in the Netherlands and here in Texas. After graduating from Baylor University with my master's in social work, I joined Unbound. I already knew about Unbound through the founder of our location—I loved their work and vision. I started as the Director of Survivor Advocacy, and last year I became the director.At Unbound, our mission is to support survivors of human trafficking—both sex and labor trafficking—and to provide resources to the community to combat trafficking and ignite hope. Unbound began when some brave women in a Waco church started praying. The founder, Susan Peters, felt compelled after her overseas experience to say, "Oh my gosh! This is trafficking. We need to do something." Then they realized it wasn't just overseas—it was here in our state. So, they started with prayer, moved quickly into prevention outreach, and began working with the first survivor. Since then, we've expanded to six locations in Texas, two in Louisiana, and two offices overseas in Mongolia and Poland.Kerry: That's incredible. So, what do you do to support survivors and resource the community?Naomi: We focus on three key areas. First is training and outreach. We provide community training about human trafficking—what it is, what it looks like, how it happens, and what to do. We offer this training to anyone interested, and also provide specialized training for law enforcement, social workers, counselors, hotel staff, hospital staff—basically, anyone who might interact with potential victims. We also train volunteers who go out to local businesses, distributing flyers and raising awareness. Additionally, we're part of coalitions and a Human Trafficking Task Force here in the Brazos Valley, working with the sheriff's office on proactive investigations and outreach.The second area is youth prevention. We visit juvenile detention centers regularly, spending time with both girls and boys. We build relationships and work through a curriculum that covers human trafficking, social media, safe relationships, and more—helping them recognize red flags and stay safe.The third area is survivor services. We have a 24/7 crisis referral line with seven trained advocates, including three bilingual ones, who respond to calls from community partners, law enforcement, and survivors. They provide immediate crisis response, often at hospitals, and then offer long-term advocacy by connecting survivors with community resources and building trust-based relationships. This ongoing support is essential, as many survivors struggle to feel safe and trust the people around them.Kerry: That was awesome, Naomi. I've heard different perspectives on what you do, and I always learn something new. I know some homeschool or Christian moms might say, “This wouldn't happen in my city,” but as you explained, it's happening everywhere—even here in the United States, not just overseas.We're recording this right after the Super Bowl. I remember learning about human trafficking during a snowstorm in Dallas after the Super Bowl, and it really opened my eyes. Do you notice more activity during big events, like sports tournaments, when people need to be more alert?Naomi: It's always a common question. I don't have data to prove a trend, but trafficking happens regardless of events. Many people assume trafficking happens only when a kid is kidnapped, but research shows that less than 7% of cases involve kidnapping. Most of the time, it happens within relationships—someone the victim trusts, like a family member, or through online grooming. So while big events might make people more alert, trafficking is an ongoing issue that we must always be aware of.Kerry: That's so important. You also mentioned that people often think trafficking only affects girls and women, but men and boys can be trafficked too. Can you talk about that a bit?Naomi: Absolutely. We serve both males and females. Just yesterday, I was speaking with a survivor leader who explained that he was trafficked because he identified as LGBTQ. He was rejected by his family and became vulnerable. There's a significant stigma around male victimization, as society expects men to be protectors. This stigma makes it even harder for them to identify as victims or seek help, and there are fewer resources available for men. We need to overcome these barriers because there are many male victims too.Kerry: Okay, can you share a quick success story? I know some listeners might feel burdened, but it's important to hear that many people who go through Unbound find success and healing.Naomi: Sure. Last year, we served 174 clients, which is a testament to the impact of our work. One story that stands out is about a youth who was referred to us—not because she was trafficked, but because there was significant concern about her situation. She ran away, and though she was initially labeled a missing child, our task force and her advocate brought together all the necessary partners. Within a few days, we found her in another state. She had been a victim of human trafficking while away from home. Now, she's doing well, receiving ongoing services, and working through her trauma. We're so proud of her journey toward healing and restoration.Kerry: That's amazing. We want to get people out of trafficking and help them heal, and that's exactly what Unbound and its survivor advocates are doing by building trust and long-term relationships. For those of you who might not know, this week we have two classes—one for parents and one for students—that have been eye-opening for many. Could you give us a snippet of what to expect?Naomi: Yes. On Wednesday, parents will meet with Laura, who will explain what trafficking looks like, how to recognize it, and what steps to take to keep students safe—practical tools, essentially. Then, on Thursday, Laura will meet with the students at an age-appropriate level to cover similar topics, including red flags and healthy relationships. We always start with parents so they're informed, and then we encourage conversations between parents and students.Kerry: That's excellent. I highly recommend these classes. For anyone concerned, we suggest the content is best for 6th grade and up. And for those wanting to support Unbound financially, when you upgrade from the Free Pass to the VIP Pass, I donate 5% of our profits, and several speakers donate 5% of their commissions, which I match—sometimes making it up to 15%. For anyone wanting to donate directly, where can they find you?Naomi: Our website is unboundow.org. There, you can learn about who we are, what we do, volunteer options, request training for your church or community, and even donate. Also, don't miss our upcoming annual fundraiser, Night of Hope, on March 28th. It's a powerful event with survivors sharing their stories and community partners coming together. Tickets are available on our website.Kerry: That sounds great. Thank you so much, Naomi, for sharing all of this. It's a heavy topic, but your work is so important, and I appreciate you helping to spread the word. Hopefully, more people will understand that this issue is happening right in their backyard.Naomi: Thanks for letting me share, Kerry.Kerry: All right, I'm Kerry Beck with Life Skills Leadership Summit. We'll talk to you next time.

How farmers can integrate solar panels with growing crops, so they can effectively harvest the sun in two different ways, is the subject of this week's podcast with Elise Couillard and host April Parms Jones. They explore the benefits of solar for farmers, including financial savings, sustainability, and the ability to create microclimates that may improve the growth of certain crops. Elise shares her journey into the solar industry, the importance of tailoring solar solutions to individual needs, and the economic advantages of solar energy. The discussion also highlights the significance of community support and collaboration in adopting solar technology, as well as the integration of minimalistic living with solar energy.Elise is a consultant focusing on renewable energy, agrivoltaics and sustainability and the treasurer and a board member of the Couillard Solar Foundation. She uses her degree in behavioral ecology and past experiences in environmental science to inform her work advising conservation organizations about how to incorporate solar energy and energy efficiency into their operations. Elise advises clients on planning, designing, financing, and monitoring solar projects, especially nonprofit projects. Elise holds a Masters in Biology and a PhotoVoltaic (PV) Associate Certificate from NABCEP. In addition to her consulting work, Elise takes on grant writing services and has won, oftentimes as part of a team, over $800,000 in grants for clients. Elise lives in a tiny house and is an advocate for minimalistic and sustainable living. Connect With Guest:Website: https://couillardsolarfoundation.orgInstagram: @couillardsolar Podcast Sponsors:Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support:BCS two-wheel tractors are designed and built in Italy where small-scale farming has been a way of life for generations.

Excited to share some invaluable insights from the latest episode of the "Business Coaching Secrets" podcast with Karl Bryan and special guest, Dr. Alan Gatlin! In episode BCS 284, we peeled back the layers of building a thriving coaching business. Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss: Focus Beyond Your Company Name:  Just like the NFL, don't promote your business name—promote your products, programs, and events instead. These are what capture interest and ultimately lead to coaching clients. Swap that "company cheerleading" for a compelling product showcase! Consider Buying Over Starting from Scratch:  Starting a business comes with high failure rates. Instead, look into acquiring an established business to bypass those early-stage risks. This approach positions you more favorably for success by acquiring clients at a "wholesale" rather than a "retail" rate. The Bezos Question - What Won't Change?:  When seeking the big idea, ask what won't change in your industry or market. For Amazon, it was low prices, fast delivery, and massive selection. Identify these constants to anchor your business approach for lasting success. To learn more and dive deeper into these perspectives, be sure to check out our latest episode! #BusinessCoaching #Entrepreneurship #CoachingBusiness #Innovation #Podcast Ready to elevate your coaching business?

Jeff Reinebold: Four Decades of Sports Science, Mentorship, and Saving Athletes' Futures" What if the key to unlocking peak performance isn't just data or drills—but care? Join coaching legend Jeff Reinebold—a pioneer across the NFL, CFL, NCAA, and Sky Sports—as he unveils the untold secrets behind football's evolution. In this episode, Reinebold (coach, broadcaster, and sports science advocate) pulls back the curtain on: *Tech's Game-Changing Role: *How Catapult and modern metrics transformed player safety—and why “old-school grit” alone can't protect athletes. *The Vermeil Effect: *Lessons from NFL icon Dick Vermeil on mentoring players before metrics existed—and why “care” is vital. *Avoiding Catastrophe: *The heart-stopping story of a player's death that reshaped Reinebold's approach to conditioning—and what every coach must learn. *Future-Proofing Football: *Can AI and wearables coexist with locker-room soul? Reinebold's blueprint for blending tradition with innovation. Why Sports Science Pros Need This Episode: Actionable Insights: Learn how to balance hard data with human connection—a skill critical for today's athlete development. Safety First: Discover protocols to prevent overtraining, reduce injuries, and build trust (backed by 50 years of trial-by-fire experience). *Legacy Building: *Steal Vermeil's mentorship playbook for creating cultures where players and tech thrive. This isn't just a podcast—it's a masterclass from a man who's coached on three continents, survived football's analog-to-digital revolution, and still believes the game's future hinges on one question: Do your athletes know you care? Listen now and redefine what “science” means in your playbook. ** About Jeff Reinebold** Jeff Reinebold is an American football coach with over four decades of experience across collegiate and professional levels. Born on November 19, 1957, in South Bend, Indiana, he played defensive back at the University of Maine before embarking on a diverse coaching career.

In this conversation, host Rebecca Kutzer-Rice speaks with Matt Dell, co-owner of Treadlight Farm, about their journey into organic flower farming, the transition from retail to wholesale, and the unique challenges and strategies involved in scaling their business. Treadlight Farm focuses on uncommon flower varieties, and Matt discusses how they built relationships with wholesalers, and the techniques they use to manage production effectively. This covers quite a transition since Treadlight Farm started with hand tools and a small greenhouse, and they now manage about 20 acres with a number of greenhouses.Matt talks about how being certified organic affects their production, the importance of sustainable practices, and the role of native plants in horticulture. He explains the mechanics of organic certification, and shares practical tips for small and mid-sized farmers and, as he puts it, making a name for themselves by “growing weird stuff that you can't find anywhere else.” The discussion highlights the environmental impact of flower farming and the potential for a shift towards organic ornamental plants. Connect With Guest:Website: https://www.treadlight-farm.comInstagram: @treadlightfarm Link to free article about starting lisianthus from seed, by host Rebecca Kutzer-Rice, that was mentioned in the episodehttps://growingformarket.com/articles/planning-and-starting-lisianthus-from-seed Podcast Sponsors:Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: BCS two-wheel tractors are designed and built in Italy where small-scale farming has been a way of life for generations.

In the 1970s, one of the leaders of the Waldorf movement, Karl Ege, wrote in his essay "An Evident Need of Our Times." "What we are founding here is a seed, the seed of a living organism. The organism is essentially three-fold, pedagogical, artistic, and agricultural, as reflections of thought, feeling, and will. Each needs the others if the whole is to flourish. All are interrelated. For young and old alike, this work together will create a place in which to become, in the true sense, a full human being." Babies, today Mimi is speaking with Martin Ping of Hawthorne Valley Farm and Hawthorne Valley Association, which is, to call it the farm or an association or anything could never really appreciate everything that it is. Martin has been at Hawthorne Valley for more than 30 years. You will appreciate what a treasure he is just listening to him. He's one of those people that you feel immediate kinship with and I can't tell you how much I recommend just browsing the websites of the Hawthorne Valley Association, because you can then begin to appreciate how they have managed to really honor that vision of holes nested in other holes and the interconnection and interrelated nature of all of the work that needs to be brought within one organism for everything to thrive.

Hey everyone, it's Natalie and I am thrilled to bring you today my conversation with my neighbor Catherine Coverdale who is a partner biologist with the Xerces Society and NRCS. We talk about programs that NRCS and Xerces do for pollinator plantings and weather stations. And we talk about her research for her masters, which was on blueberries and spotted wing drosophila, which was cool because when I talked with Bernice about honeyberries, she was discussing the spotted wing drosophila. So it was neat to get to the biology of SWD with Catherine. I hope you enjoy our conversation and maybe even take advantage of some of these programs that are out there to help farmers with some of these ecological practices to encourage native pollinators and the like.
