Hello, hello — and welcome back to Greedy Bitch, the podcast for groomers who are done apologizing for wanting more. I'm your host, River Lee — founder of The Savvy Groomer — and today's episode is perfectly timed for February. Because it's the month of love… and I want to talk about who you're actually in a relationship with in your business. Not your partner. Not your dog. Your clients. Because here's the thing no one tells groomers early enough: You can be booked solid. You can be making money. You can look “successful” from the outside. …and still quietly dread your day-to-day life. And most of the time, that doesn't come from grooming itself. It comes from the relationships you've built your business on. So today, we're talking about: Fling clients Ideal clients And soulmate clients And how falling in love with your clients doesn't mean being softer, nicer, or more accommodating. It means building a business that actually loves you back. Let's talk about fling clients. And before anyone feels called out, I want to be very clear: Most groomers did not choose fling clients on purpose. We were taught to accept them. Early in our careers, the message was: Say yes. Take what you can get. Be grateful for every client. And in the beginning, that makes sense. You're building. You're learning. You're trying to survive. But somewhere along the way, temporary clients became the foundation of permanent businesses. And that's where things start to hurt. Fling clients are the clients who: Book once and disappear Only show up when they're desperate Don't read your policies Don't remember your boundaries And don't feel invested in you They're not bad people. They're just not committed. Here are a few grooming-specific examples — and I want you to notice how your body reacts as I say them. The once-a-year doodle. They promise they'll be on a schedule… but you don't hear from them again until the dog is matted and they're panicking. The “can you squeeze me in?” client. Not because of an emergency — but because they waited too long and now it's suddenly your problem. The client who disappears the moment you enforce a boundary. You correct pickup time. You enforce a matting policy. You raise prices. And suddenly? Gone. These are fling clients. And here's the part most groomers don't realize until they're exhausted: Fling clients are expensive. Financially, they: Create gaps in your schedule Require re-education every visit Take more time than they're priced for Emotionally, they: Keep you on edge Create resentment Require constant mental energy Operationally, they: Create chaos Make staffing harder Make income unpredictable And the sneakiest part? You start reshaping your business around them. You loosen policies. You over-explain. You hesitate to raise prices. You make exceptions “just this once.” That's not love. That's survival mode. Fling clients are not the problem — expecting commitment from them is. Now let's talk about ideal clients. These are the clients most groomers think they want. They show up. They pay. They're polite. They mostly follow the rules. They're… fine. Ideal clients feel safe. They don't cause drama. They don't stress you out the way fling clients do. But here's the truth that doesn't get said enough: Ideal clients often represent a comfort ceiling. They keep your business running — but not necessarily growing. You still remind them. You still explain policies. You still manage expectations. Let's compare this for a moment. An ideal client: Asks questions about price Occasionally forgets policies Needs reminders Refers people similar to them A soulmate client: Accepts pricing without debate Respects systems Follows policies automatically Refers people who already trust you Ideal clients keep you busy. Soulmate clients make things easier. This is why so many grooming businesses plateau. They're not failing. They're not doing anything wrong. They've just built a business around “good enough.” And if you've ever thought: “I should be happier than I am with this…” That's usually why. Let's clear something up right now. Soulmate clients do not magically find you because you're nice, talented, or have good vibes. That idea keeps groomers waiting instead of building. Soulmate clients are created through systems. Clear messaging. Strong onboarding. Consistent policies. And follow-through. Soulmate clients don't require convincing. They trust your expertise. They understand how your business works. Every boundary you hold does two things: It repels a fling client… and signals safety to a soulmate client. People who value professionalism are attracted to structure. People who want exceptions are repelled by it. That's not a flaw. That's a filter. Soulmate clients: Respect your time Trust your recommendations Follow your systems Refer people just like them And here's the part I really want you to hear: You don't need more clients. You need better-aligned ones. When groomers shift toward soulmate clients, we see: Smaller schedules Higher income Better retention Less burnout More predictability Business stops feeling chaotic and starts feeling calm. And that's not luck. That's alignment. If you're listening and thinking, “Why does this feel so hard for me?” Here's the truth: No one taught us this. Most groomers were trained in: Safety. Technique. Breed patterns. Not client alignment. Not onboarding. Not de-alignment. So when things feel messy, we internalize it. We think: “I'm bad with people.” “I hate clients.” “This is just how grooming is.” No. You're not bad at clients. You're under-supported. Client alignment is a business skill, not a personality trait. And skills can be learned. Practiced. Refined. When you stop blaming yourself and start building systems, everything changes. If this episode hit close to home, that discomfort isn't failure. It's awareness. Most groomers didn't intentionally build businesses that drain them. It happened slowly. Quietly. One “yes” at a time. And once you see the difference between fling clients, ideal clients, and soulmate clients — you can't unsee it. Falling in love with your clients doesn't mean overgiving. It means alignment. Clarity. Respect. And that doesn't happen by accident. That's why I created the Business Workshop Library. Inside, you'll find on-demand workshops like: Identifying & Attracting Your Soulmate Clients Onboarding Clients & Dealing With Difficult Clients Once-A-Year Clients and whether they belong in your business at all ✨ It's $200 for the year ✨ Or $50 a month You can watch at your own pace, revisit when needed, and apply what you learn to your real business. And if you're looking for ongoing support instead of one-off fixes, that's exactly what the Savvy Groomer Circle is for. Inside the Circle, you get continued education, monthly Q&As, real-time conversations, and support as you actively implement boundaries, policies, and systems in your business — not just think about them. And for those of you who want deeper access and closer support, the Inner Circle gives you just that — including direct access to me so you're never figuring this out alone. You can learn more and join at savvygroomer.com/membership If you're ready to stop building your business around flings and start intentionally creating alignment, you'll find the Business Workshop Library at savvygroomer.com/gwg As always — stay savvy, stay greedy, and never apologize for wanting more.
Not a lot came out so far this year, but there was enough to be worth an episode! We discuss our top picks for January 2026, as well as what we went back to from 2025 and what we might've missed.

In dieser Folge schauen wir auf fünf IT‑Trends, die wir eigentlich längst beerdigt hatten – und die jetzt, dank künstlicher Intelligenz, stärker zurück sind als je zuvor. Warum erleben RPA, SharePoint‑Liebe, Custom Apps, Best‑of‑Breed‑Konzepte und sogar Fat Clients ein Comeback? Genau das bespreche ich heute. Kurzübersicht Wie KI die Rückkehr alter Konzepte notwendig und sinnvoll macht Warum RPA mit Computer Use Agents völlig neu gedacht wird Weshalb SharePoint wieder zum strategisch wichtigen Fundament wird Wieso Custom Apps ein Revival erleben – und welche Risiken das birgt Was Best of Breed heute wirklich bedeutet Warum lokale Rechenpower und Fat Clients wieder relevanter werden Kapitelübersicht 00:00 Einstieg und Konferenz‑Inspiration 00:20 Trend 1: RPA wird zum Computer Use Agent 07:47 Trend 2: SharePoint wird wieder strategisch 13:45 Trend 3: Custom Apps und die neue Schatten‑IT 18:45 Trend 4: Best of Breed statt reiner Suites 24:16 Trend 5: Das Comeback des Fat Clients 29:54 Fazit und Ausblick Inhaltlicher Überblick In dieser Episode spreche ich über fünf IT‑Trends, die unerwartet wieder in Mode kommen. Dabei geht es nicht um Nostalgie, sondern um eine fundamentale Veränderung: KI zwingt uns, alte Ideen neu zu betrachten. Ich beleuchte, wie RPA durch moderne Computer Use Agents plötzlich wieder ein ernstzunehmendes Werkzeug wird. Warum SharePoint – verstärkt durch Copilot, Agents und KI‑gestützte Intranets – wichtiger denn je ist. Weshalb Custom Apps dank Low‑Code, GitHub‑Agents und Power Platform einen zweiten Frühling erleben, gleichzeitig aber neue Risiken für Governance und Schatten‑IT mitbringen. Außerdem zeige ich, wie Unternehmen sich zunehmend von reinen Suite‑Ansätzen lösen und wieder stärker auf Best of Breed setzen. Und schließlich klären wir, warum lokale Rechenleistung und echte Fat Clients angesichts KI‑Workloads wieder unverzichtbar werden – zumindest für eine Übergangszeit.

Read OnlineJesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his native place and among his own kin and in his own house.” So he was not able to perform any mighty deed there, apart from curing a few sick people by laying his hands on them. He was amazed at their lack of faith. Mark 6:4–6It's an old expression that “familiarity breeds contempt.” It is often easier to harbor contempt for those closest to us than to offer admiration. This dynamic frequently manifests itself among relatives, neighbors, and friends. The “contempt” might remain subtle, without clear outward expression. Yet, when those close to us are honored, it is often easier to call to mind their faults than to join in their praise. These feelings, if left unchecked, not only harm human relationships but also blinds us to the workings of grace in those closest to us.Today's Gospel tells the story of Jesus returning to His hometown of Nazareth after beginning His public ministry. Soon after He was baptized and emerged from the desert, Jesus began gathering disciples, preaching authoritatively, and performing miracles. Though His ministry began in Capernaum, about twenty miles northeast of Nazareth, word spread quickly about Him, leaving the people of Nazareth uncertain about what to think.When Jesus returned to Nazareth for the first time, He entered the Synagogue and read from the Prophet Isaiah, declaring that the “Spirit of the Lord” was upon Him (cf. Luke 4:18). Mark's version of the event, which we read today, tells us that “many who heard him were astonished.” They asked one another, “‘Is he not the carpenter, the son of Mary…?' And they took offense at him” (Mark 6:2–3).Their refusal to believe stemmed not from Jesus but from their inability to reconcile the Jesus they thought they knew—a carpenter, a local boy—with the Jesus who now spoke with divine wisdom and authority. The reaction of the people of Nazareth reveals the danger of clinging to preconceived notions about others, which blinds us to God's presence in the ordinary.When you consider the people with whom you are familiar, do you exhibit a similar tendency? Do you struggle to recognize Christ at work in family members, friends, or even within yourself? Familiarity can make us dismissive, but it also invites us to look more deeply for the divine, even in what appears humble and mundane. We must approach everyone we know with eyes of faith, searching for the presence of Christ, despite their weaknesses and sins. As Jesus reminds us, “Seek and you will find” (Matthew 7:7). This exhortation extends to seeking Christ in the people around us, especially those closest to us.This can be difficult. We are often tempted to focus on faults rather than goodness in others. The tendency is well illustrated in social media. Sensational and shocking posts draw our attention far more than uplifting and inspiring ones. This reveals the fallen human inclination, much like the people of Nazareth, to reject goodness and the deeper truth we are called to see. We often want others to fail as a way of feeling better about ourselves. Among the people of Nazareth, despite Jesus' perfection, those who knew Him allowed their preconceived judgments to blind them, leading to their rejection of Him as the Messiah. This reaction challenges us to examine our own hearts. How often do we fail to recognize Christ's presence in those closest to us? Reflect today on those closest to you and ponder how easily you seek and find Christ in them. Everyone you know—including yourself—is a sinner. It's easy to find fault and dwell on it, even sometimes when there is no fault to be found—such as with Jesus at Nazareth. Prayerfully reject that fallen human tendency and embrace the mission of seeking Christ in others, for “the one who seeks, finds.” Seek Jesus everywhere and celebrate the Good News of His ongoing presence in our world, especially in the lives of those with whom you are most familiar. My omnipresent Lord, You reveal Yourself to me in countless ways—through the Sacraments, Your holy Word, and the lives of those around me, especially those closest to me. Grant me the grace to seek You each day with faith and love, that I may find You in the hearts and actions of those You have placed in my life. Transform my vision, Lord, so that I may see Your presence even in the ordinary and humbly respond with gratitude and trust.

Viele KI-Initiativen scheitern nicht an Algorithmen, Modellen oder mangelndem Willen – sondern an der Basis. In dieser Folge von AI or DIE sprechen Andreas Wiener und Christian Bühler darüber, warum KI ohne eine sauber aufgebaute Daten- und Cloud-Plattform kaum eine Chance hat. Es geht um überzogene Erwartungen, Quick-and-Dirty-Leuchtturmprojekte und den fatalen Irrglauben, man könne KI einfach „on top“ auf bestehende Strukturen setzen. Christian erklärt, warum Begriffe wie Security, Resilienz, Performance, Operational Excellence und Kosten keine Buzzwords sind, sondern harte Voraussetzungen für produktive KI-Use-Cases. Die Folge zeigt klar: Ohne belastbares Fundament wird aus jeder KI-Idee eine teure Krücke. Wer jetzt nicht aufräumt, skaliert später nur Probleme. Eine ehrliche Episode für Entscheider:innen, die KI nicht nur ausprobieren, sondern nachhaltig nutzen wollen.  ⸻ Timestamps 00:00 – Einstieg: Warum KI-Initiativen scheitern 00:33 – Überzogene Erwartungen und falsche Annahmen 01:30 – Warum alte Cloud-Plattformen KI ausbremsen 01:50 – Was „well-architected“ wirklich bedeutet 02:34 – Die fünf Säulen einer belastbaren Plattform 02:59 – Für wen diese Leitplanken relevant sind 03:28 – Cloud-Zoo, Komplexität und Realität im Konzern 04:26 – Sicherheit & Cloud-Souveränität 05:06 – Datenplattform als Fundament für KI 05:15 – Resilienz, Verfügbarkeit & Governance 06:14 – Performance als Akzeptanzfaktor 07:24 – Always-on-Architekturen und Orchestrierung 08:19 – Wer ist verantwortlich: IT oder Fachbereich? 09:14 – Warum Fachbereichs-KI oft scheitert 10:15 – Budgets, ROI und Wirtschaftlichkeit von KI 11:20 – KI als Wette auf die Zukunft 12:29 – Was Resilienz technisch wirklich heißt 13:41 – Klassische Fehler bei KI-Plattformen 14:31 – Leuchtturmprojekte und „Quick & Dirty“ 15:11 – Die berühmte Krücke aus BI-Projekten 16:18 – Proof of Concept vs. produktiver Betrieb 17:20 – Welcher Tool-Stack ist „vernünftig“? 18:21 – SAP, Databricks & offene Architekturen 19:52 – Best-of-Breed statt Tool-Dogma 21:13 – Plattform vs. Mensch: Was ist wichtiger? 22:02 – Data Culture & echte Nutzung 23:04 – Online-Assessment: Standortbestimmung 24:35 – Klare Worte: Was Unternehmen jetzt tun müssen 26:07 – Ausblick: Sicherheit & nächste Folge 29:15 – Abschluss & Call to Action 29:40 – Ende der Folge
Ron tries to understand the stupidity of Groundhog Day..... Guest: Actor/Producer/Writer Andrew Boszhardt's new movie "Breed of Greed"
Marketing is not just websites and social posts.It is the feeling someone gets the first time they meet an Arabian horse.In this second marketing roundtable, Paul sits down with industry leaders Hillary Hoffman and Lindsay Rinehart to explore what comes after the tools and technology. Instead of talking infrastructure, this conversation dives into messaging, emotion, and the invitations that truly welcome people into our barns.They unpack why “versatility” is an inside word, why families need connection more than competition, and how the Arabian horse can be positioned not simply as a show horse, but as the horse that grows with you through every stage of life.From ice cream socials to barn visits, from therapy and belonging to brand alignment across the breed, this episode challenges all of us to rethink how we present the Arabian horse to the world.Because people do not fall in love with facts.They fall in love with how something makes them feel.If we want more families, kids, and newcomers in our community, we must lead with heart.Listen in and join the conversation about building a clearer, warmer, more human story for the Arabian horse.✅ Listen now✅ Share with a friend✅ Invite someone new to the barn this week

Zentrale KI-Plattform oder spezialisierte Tools in den Fachabteilungen? Diese Diskussion ist brandaktuell. In dieser Folge von AI or DIE zerlegen Andreas Wiener und Richard Ranftl (H&Z Digital) die romantische Vorstellung von der einen KI-Lösung, die alles kann. Klar ist: KI ist kein Nice-to-have mehr. Sie ist Pflicht. Wer heute noch auf die perfekte, zentrale Lösung wartet, verliert morgen Effizienz, Geschwindigkeit und Wettbewerbsfähigkeit. Gleichzeitig führt ein unkontrollierter Tool-Zoo direkt in neue Silos, Schatten-IT und Compliance-Risiken. Die Wahrheit liegt dazwischen – aber nicht im Mittelmaß. Wir sprechen darüber, warum „Make“ mit klaren Zielen oft smarter ist als reflexhaftes „Buy“, weshalb Open-Source-orientierte Stacks mehr strategische Freiheit schaffen als Hochglanz-Tools und warum Verfügbarkeit wichtiger ist als perfekte Governance. Außerdem: Warum Schatten-KI längst Realität ist, wieso Verbote nichts bringen und was Unternehmen jetzt konkret tun müssen, um Kontrolle zurückzugewinnen, ohne Innovation abzuwürgen. Diese Folge ist eine klare Ansage an alle, die noch glauben, KI ließe sich per Lizenzentscheidung erledigen. Spoiler: Tut sie nicht. 00:00 – Einstieg: KI-Reifegrad & alte IT-Diskussionen 00:41 – Single Vendor vs. Best-of-Breed: Die Kernfrage 01:00 – Tool-Dschungel, Start-ups & KI als Pflicht 01:55 – Buy vs. Make: Warum Spezialtools verlockend sind 02:47 – Fachabteilungen vs. zentrale KI-Strategie 03:39 – Das Silo-Problem: Schnell gestartet, nie eingefangen 04:16 – Schatten-Systeme und fehlende Zieldefinition 05:30 – Hochglanz-Versprechen vs. Realität 06:40 – Faktor Mensch: Warum Regeln allein nicht funktionieren 07:04 – Fachabteilungen als Innovationstreiber 08:05 – KI schlägt Excel: Wettbewerbsvorteile durch Geschwindigkeit 09:00 – Make-Ansatz mit Standard-Stacks (Azure, n8n & Co.) 10:04 – Konkretes Beispiel: KI im Einkauf 11:28 – n8n erklärt: Prozessautomatisierung mit Agenten 12:20 – Open Source, Souveränität & Enterprise-Tauglichkeit 14:47 – Chatbots, Frontends & falsche Erwartungen 15:18 – Mitarbeitende überschätzt? KI braucht Enablement 16:30 – Microsoft-Stack: Nicht perfekt, aber stabil 17:30 – Eigenes Frontend statt teurer Chat-Lizenzen 18:45 – Lokale LLMs: Wann sie wirklich Sinn machen 20:15 – Schatten-KI im Privatgebrauch: Das echte Risiko 22:27 – Praxisbeispiel: Mehr Schatten-User als offizielle Lizenzen 23:24 – Produktivität verstecken?

The right-wing dating site Whitedate.net, dubbed the ‘Nazi Tinder', has dozens of members across Ireland. But only one of them mentions love as a motivation, many mention the need to “breed” for the “white race”. The site's thousands of profiles were leaked online after a hack. A lonely Belfast man said he was looking for a “lady who has never been soiled by other races” and “a bride willing to have children, in order to stop the destruction of our people.” Olivia Peden is joined by Belfast Telegraph reporter Kurtis Reid. *This podcast was first published by our sister podcast The BelTel on Mon Jan 19th 2026.* See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Exactly 250 years ago, a rotund twenty-five year-old Boston bookseller named Henry Knox was riding his horse between Springfield and Worcester Massachusetts, on his way to George Washington's headquarters in Cambridge. Washington's ragtag, ill-equipped Continental Army had kept the British garrison under General Thomas Gage bottled up in Boston and Charlestown since the summer of 1675. Washington had a whole load of problems, including insufficient arms for his men, many with expiring enlistments that threatened to shrink his force by half or more. He also had almost no artillery, just 12 small cannon that Henry Knox, among others, had learned to operate while training with the local militia. Geographically, the Boston of that era was essentially a bubble of land connected to the mainland by an incredibly narrow neck at Roxbury. Two hills loomed over the city from across the water – Breed's Hill in Charlestown to Boston's north, which the British had captured at great cost in the summer, and Dorchester Heights, to Boston's south, which the British had not captured. This is why it was very important – world historically important – that Henry Knox, on that day exactly 250 years ago, was commanding a convoy of artillery comprising 58 pieces and weighing more than 60 tons, pulled on purpose-built sleds by teams of oxen and horses all the way from Fort Ticonderoga, 300 miles away, over rivers and the Berkshires, during the coldest winter in memory. Within just a few days those guns would be in Cambridge, and not long after that, on the sixth anniversary of the Boston Massacre, would be entrenched on Dorchester Heights and open fire on the city and ships below. Henry Knox's big guns would drive the British from Boston, for good. The tale of that “noble train” of artillery, as Knox famously referred to it, is one of the more astonishing stories of military innovation, indefatigable perseverance, and inspired leadership in a war that had more than its share of such moments. It was also among the most important, because it came at a desperate period when the Americans needed a victory or the entire project of the Revolution might have fallen apart.

"Best-of-breed” feels like the sophisticated choice—until you try to run a scaled brokerage platform on it. The failure isn't theoretical: inconsistent data, fragile integrations, impossible governance, and post-close execution drift. That's where value leaks—quietly, expensively, and usually after the deal is already signed. I'm going live with Trevor Bunker, Chief Customer Officer, Applied Systems. Trevor sits with large agencies and broker platforms that have lived both models: system-agnostic sprawl and hard consolidation. His point is direct: if you can't get a single view of the truth, you can't govern performance—especially across lines, geographies, and acquisitions. Join live if you're making platform decisions, planning conversions, or trying to de-risk integration timelines. #InsurTech #MergersAndAcquisitions
On the Sioux Nation Podcast today, we're diving into how to choose the right poultry breed based on your farm's goals — whether it's eggs, meat, weed control, or pasture management. We are thankful to have Marc and Katy Metzer from Metzer Farms to cover this topic and discuss their innovative shipping practices.
This week we discuss a trend that while it existed for a while, numetal was one that brought it storming into the mainstream...and that is one of visual theatricality. Think masks, face paint, uniforms, the dedication to aesthetic that bands like Slipknot, Mudvayne, and Mushroomhead used to differentiate themselves. We go into the history of using this type of theater in music (shoutout to Screamin Jay Hawkins!) and land with the bands that are doing this same thing in the modern day. Cheers!

Welcome to the sixth series in the annual podcast programme from Academic Archers, bringing you papers from our 2025 conference.This episode explores family life in Ambridge through questions of choice, justice, and intergenerational care. Across three papers, speakers examine voluntary childlessness, crime and redemption, and the varied roles grandfathers play in shaping family dynamics.Please note: this session begins at 2 minutes 40 seconds.Ambridge Family Dynamics2:40 – To Breed or Not to Breed? That Is the Problem Louise GilliesThis paper explores the portrayal of voluntary childlessness in The Archers through the storyline of Harrison and Fallon Burns. It examines how their decision reflects wider debates about reproductive choice, gender roles, and the meaning of family.The paper considers both internal emotional struggles and external societal pressures, particularly the tension between traditional rural expectations and contemporary ideas of autonomy and lifestyle.About the speaker Louise Gillies is a reproductive health counsellor with a background in health communication research. A listener since 1998, she frequently uses Ambridge storylines as case studies in her teaching and has been part of Academic Archers since the first conference.Law and Disorder: I Fought the Law and the Law Won in Ambridge Nicola MaxfieldThis paper explores crime, punishment, and redemption in Ambridge, focusing on George, Freddie, Tom, and Clive. It examines how family background, education, attachment, and social capital shape different outcomes, and how the village responds unevenly to similar crimes.The paper invites reflection on whether some characters are judged more harshly than others, and why.About the speaker Nicola Maxfield is an Academic Skills Advisor at University Centre for Northern Devon. Her work focuses on equity of access to higher education, particularly for neurodivergent students. She lives in Devon and is still attempting to complete a Master's degree.Grandpas Are Wise, Loving and Fun – Or Are They? Katharine Hoskyn and Deborah MillerGrandfathers have featured prominently in recent Archers storylines, particularly in response to George's difficulties. This paper compares the grandfathering styles of Neil Carter, Joe and Eddie Grundy, Tony Archer, Brian Aldridge, and David Archer.Drawing on academic literature, the paper proposes a new framework for understanding grandfathering in Ambridge and reflects on the experience, authority, and care grandfathers bring to family life. The presentation is dedicated to the authors' own grandfathers.About the speakers Katharine Hoskyn is based in rural New Zealand and works with Auckland University of Technology. Her research background spans social science and business, with a focus on community issues.

Breeding season is underway on the ranch, and this year our breeding decisions look a little different than they have in the past. In this episode, I'm sharing what's happening right now at Dry Creek and walking you through how we're thinking about herd genetics, maternal traits, and long-term direction—not from a textbook perspective, but from real-world experience. I talk through why we sold our longtime Boer buck, how that decision reshaped this year's breeding plan, and why we're intentionally slowing down instead of rushing to replace him. We dig into how past experience with show goats changed the way I think about first kiddings, mothering ability, and how breeding decisions can either set does up for success—or make their job harder from the start. You'll hear how and why we're using Spanish bucks across the Boer herd this year, what we're watching for in the resulting kids, and how data collection—not trends or pressure—is guiding our next steps. I also share some of the longer-term options we're considering, including terminal crossing, maintaining two distinct herds, and what market demand may influence moving forward. This episode isn't about having the perfect breeding plan. It's about making thoughtful decisions that keep options open, protect herd function, and align with the season of ranching and life you're actually in. If you're raising goats, planning future breeding decisions, or trying to balance improvement with practicality, this episode will help you think more clearly and move forward with confidence—even if you don't have every answer yet. In This Episode, I Cover: A quick ranch update and what winter conditions mean for daily management Why we sold our Boer buck and how genetic concentration affects breeding decisions How past show goat experience reshaped our approach to first kidding does Using Spanish bucks to improve mothering and functional traits The pros and tradeoffs of slowing genetic progress for long-term herd success What a terminal cross is and why we're considering it How market demand, data, and personal goals influence herd direction Key Takeaways: Breeding decisions should support function, not just appearance or speed A doe's first kidding experience is important for long-term doe success Slowing down can preserve options and prevent genetic dead ends Data collection beats trend-chasing every time It's okay to move forward without having every future decision locked in Related Episodes: 22 | What Is the Perfect Meat Goat?

We are starting the new year out with a subject we are both passionate about, shelter versus purposely bred dogs. Are purebred dogs better than rescue dogs? Are there more behavior issues in one versus the other? We discuss how breed equates to predictability, even if that predictability is not a desired behavior or trait. It can be common to blame some undesired behaviors on dogs coming from the shelter, while in the purebred world that same behavior may be easily dismissed as a breed trait. We both agree education is the best option when adding a dog of any origin to your life and feel that educating yourself can only help both you and your dog. Additionally we both agree that people should get the dog they want, but they should also be prepared to meet the needs of the dog in front of them regardless of how the dog was acquired.Follow us on https://www.instagram.com/sometimestheressideeye/

Breeding season success doesn't start when the buck goes in—it starts weeks earlier with intentional management decisions around feed, body condition, mineral, and water. In this episode, I'm walking through how we prepare our goat herd for breeding season on our ranch, and why flushing is less about grain and more about timing and rising energy intake. I explain how our does typically come off pasture somewhat thin due to declining forage quality and demands of lactation, how we use a gradual hay-based recovery phase after weaning, and why we don't rush into flushing too early. You'll hear how we intentionally set the stage so that a modest energy increase 2–3 weeks before breeding actually produces a favorable reproductive response. We also dig into forage-based flushing using high-quality hay, why mineral intake is often the hidden limiting factor in breeding success, and how winter water access quietly controls feed intake, mineral consumption, and overall herd health. If breeding hasn't gone the way you expected in the past, this episode will help you evaluate the foundational pieces before blaming genetics or the buck. In This Episode, I Cover: What flushing really is—and why it's primarily an energy strategy, not a grain strategy Why flushing needs to start 2–3 weeks before breeding, not the day the buck shows up How our does come off pasture thin from limited forage and lactation—and why that matters Our post-weaning feeding strategy to gradually rebuild body condition without overdoing it Why flushing works best when does are moderate condition or slightly thin, not fat How forage-based flushing works with high-quality hay like sainfoin Why intake—not just feed quality—determines whether flushing is effective The critical role of mineral intake in estrus expression, conception, and early pregnancy Why bucks are often overlooked in mineral programs—and how we handle that The trace minerals most closely tied to reproductive success How winter water access limits feed and mineral intake Why water is often the most overlooked nutrient in breeding prep Signs that water intake may be holding your herd back reproductively How consistency—not perfection—sets the stage for a successful breeding season Key Takeaways: Breeding success starts weeks before breeding with intentional preparation Flushing works because of rising energy intake, not because of grain Gradual post-lactation recovery sets the stage for an effective flushing response High-quality forage can support flushing when intake truly increases Mineral intake—not just availability—can make or break reproductive success Bucks need mineral too, even when feeders don't cooperate Without adequate winter water, goats won't eat enough feed or mineral Water is often the limiting nutrient in cold-weather breeding preparation Consistency and timing matter more than aggressive feeding Related Episodes: 14 | When Should My Goats Kid?

We bring you conversations with legends of the sport and offer practical, actionable guidance for creating an extraordinary life with your purebred dog. In this episode, host Laura Reeves dives into a timely and essential topic: how to show dogs effectively without breaking the bank. Introduction: Making Dog Shows Work in Expensive Times Dog shows are more plentiful than ever—but the costs are rising. Entry fees, fuel, lodging, grooming supplies, and time away from work or family can quickly turn a joyful hobby into a financial strain. Showing on a shoestring doesn't mean cutting corners—it means strategizing, choosing wisely and investing where it matters most. As Laura says, “Your passion is our purpose.”These tips will help you maximize results while minimizing expenses. 1. Start With a Clear Goal Before entering a single show, determine exactly what you want to accomplish: Finishing a ChampionshipYou must attend shows with reliable breed entries.Earning a Grand ChampionshipPrioritize majors and competition.Ranking in Breed or Group StandingsBreed rankings require breed entries; group rankings require competitive groups. “You can't make a plan until you make a goal.” Knowing your goal drives every decision—from which shows to attend to how far you should travel. 2.

Mark Blackburn & Michael Breed joined the program today. Blackburn talked about how being a player helped him as a coach; how he builds up his players in part by framing the persistent data and how he is motivated to get players to raise their ceilings. Breed feels golfers need to be athletes as that is the foundation that gives them belief. He also feels golfers need movement and the difference in the 2-D and 3-D environment, speed as a difference maker and what separates the Harmon's.
Westminster KC 150th Anniversary with Don Sturz Host Laura Reeves is joined by WKC president Don Sturz to discuss the upcoming 150th anniversary of the iconic dog show. “Last year, we all kind of looked at this return to New York City, going into a new venue, the Javits Center, coming back to Madison Square Garden with new teams of people and spaces, we really kind of viewed that as a dress rehearsal and we were very open to it being like a learning experience. And I think what happened was it actually ended up being opening night,” Sturz said. From more sinks in the benching area to more bleachers around the rings, Sturz walks through the nitty gritty behind the scenes of the show venues. “In the Marketplace Hall, which is where the Westminster Merch store is, that hall is probably the one where we put the most effort into. In that one, there was so much more space there than what we thought we had. And so we've brought in more vendors,” Sturz said. “We're trying to have more activations in that room to engage spectators. There's going to be a historical and immersive installation in there, which will kind of take you through the history of Westminster and all the moments that will be really, really beautiful, I think. And I think with this addition of sponsors and vendors and activations and engagement and photo ops we're kind of just taking it to another level. “We just shot a new Best of Breed winner video because that process is changing. (Previously) the Best of Breed winners filled out a card and took it to the Superintendent and got their MSG wristbands. “This year it's going to be different. Westminster will have our own best of breed table outside the superintendent's office. So the card will be the same and you'll fill out the information, but you'll go to this desk, someone will be there to take that information and put it into a live doc that will be shared with MSG. You will get your credentials at the ramp at MSG because there was a lot of confusion for people, you know, as far as like who had the wristband. “We're really encouraging people to come as your team, come together, because you're all going to get your wristbands together. So that's a little different. And so this video will explain all of that.”
