Ever wondered how to revitalize struggling communities while promoting sustainable practices? I had the pleasure of speaking with Kirk Taylor, co-founder of Land Betterment Corporation, about their innovative approach to community development and sustainable agriculture. Kirk's background in accounting and finance, combined with his entrepreneurial spirit, led him to tackle the challenges faced by transitioning communities in areas like Kentucky, West Virginia, and southern Indiana.We discussed Land Betterment's unique projects, including the transformation of abandoned industrial sites into housing solutions and the development of container-based farms in partnership with Anu. Kirk explained how their 20-foot shipping container farms, equipped with advanced automation technology, are revolutionizing local food production. These compact, efficient units are being deployed in various settings, from restaurants and grocery stores to universities, addressing food security issues and promoting education in sustainable agriculture.Throughout our conversation, Kirk emphasized the importance of stakeholder engagement and community-driven solutions. He shared examples of how Land Betterment works closely with local communities to identify their needs and develop tailored solutions, whether it's creating affordable housing or repurposing land for agricultural use. We also touched on the company's involvement in sustainable fertilizer recycling and their commitment to circular economy principles.If you're interested in innovative approaches to community development, sustainable agriculture, or the intersection of business and social impact, you won't want to miss this episode. Tune in to hear Kirk Taylor's insights on creating positive change through entrepreneurship and technology.Thanks to Our SponsorsIndoor AgCon - https://indoor.agKey Takeaways11:31 ReElement Technologies: Recycling battery elements16:31 Innovative housing solutions using shipping containers22:20 Partnership with Anu for container farming28:43 Applications for container farms in various industries34:34 Building a diverse board for Land Betterment39:50 Balancing opportunities and allocating time effectivelyTweetable Quotes"We understood that we were not a nonprofit. We wanted to create a business that made sense financially. But we also wanted our investors and our partners to understand that we were making decisions not just for their return, but to maximize the return of all our stakeholders.""The challenge with any farming is external environment and human error. We solve the external environment by doing it inside a shipping container. Our competition doesn't solve for the human error component, but the Anu team does.""I think that everybody has the ability to make something out of themselves and be proud of what they do. Not everybody realizes that. By providing direct roadmaps, direct opportunity for these community members, we can give them the steps that they can walk up on their own."Resources MentionedWebsite - https://www.landbetterment.com/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/kirkptaylor/Connect With...

As Betterment's Director of Behavioral Science, Dan Egan knows that understanding human behavior is key to your client's financial success. But knowing that's true and knowing what to do about it are two different things. There are a lot of opinions thrown around in the behavioral finance space on what works and what doesn't.

In this Thanksgiving week edition of Monday Morning Pep Talk, I'm diving into one of the most transformative topics: gratitude. For over a decade, I've anchored my mindset around a simple affirmation that begins with, “I am so happy and grateful...” This practice has become a cornerstone of my success and ability to navigate both challenges and opportunities. In today's episode, I'll share the story behind my personal affirmation, why I started using it, and how it's shaped my mindset and outcomes. Before we dive in, let me remind you of my professional purpose: to help you, the full-service, full-fee advisor, optimize your productivity and grow into the best version of yourself. Why? Because Happy Advisors Sell More Real Estate. I do this by helping you navigate challenges and opportunities every day. As you listen, imagine we're having a one-on-one coaching session, elevating your approach to life and business. The Story Behind My Affirmation In 2010, during a challenging professional season, I realized I needed to sustain a positive mindset to succeed. I turned to Bob Proctor (You Were Born Rich) and John Assaraf (The Answer), who taught me the power of affirmations—intentional declarations that reprogram your subconscious mind and align your thoughts with your goals. That's when I created my affirmation, which I've repeated tens of thousands of times since. It's been my guide, grounding prayer, and battle cry through every season of life. Breaking Down the Affirmation Here's how my affirmation is structured: “I AM” A declaration of identity and intention. “So Happy and Grateful” Reinforces positivity and abundance. “Money, Success, and Introductions Flow to Me” Focuses on meaningful connections and personal fulfillment. “In Ever-Increasing Quantities” Acknowledges the compounding effect of consistent effort. “From a Myriad of Different Sources” Emphasizes openness to opportunities from all directions. “For the Betterment of All Those Involved” Grounds success in shared growth and mutual value. “My Life is Perfect” A reframing of perfection as perspective. “Every Day, in Every Way, I'm Getting Better and Better” Inspired by James Clear, this reflects a commitment to continuous improvement. The Power of Gratitude As we approach Thanksgiving, this affirmation reminds me of gratitude's ability to shift our mindset and attract opportunities. When we consistently maintain a frequency of positivity above 51%, we create alignment for success in life and business. Happy Thanksgiving, and thank you for being part of this journey. Let's continue building lives and businesses that are both predictable and enjoyable.
