Charlie attended university with 4th generation dairy farmer Chris Eggert. Whilst they hadn't seen each other since, they picked up right where they left off with a lighthearted and deep dive into Chris's life and regenerative journey. Having grown up on a conventional dairy farm to being regarded as one of the best dairy farmers in Australia, his ability to adapt general regenerative practices is an example of success. His philosophies are driven by logic, courage and positivity that continues the legacy of a family farm any farmer would be proud of. To start a dialogue and converse more about topics raised in this podcast, please visit The Regenerative Journey Podcast Facebook Group. Episode Takeaways : Chris Eggert is a 4th generation from Wauchope, on the mid north coast of NSW | Eggert Farm (Oxhill Organics) has been certified organic for 20 years, converted in 2000 due to deregulation of the dairy industry | At that time the farm had just been bought from previous generation | Very conventionally run prior to going organic | His mother has built yoga studio on farm and is a very steadying influence on the men on the farm! | The family eats mostly from farm and nearby produce, and focuses on creating a community through food and health | Work was once a chore for Chris and now is relaxing due to his change in attitude | It was once all about production, highly NPK fertiliser dependent, with animal health regimes of hormones and antibiotics | Chris suspects the cause of most animal sickness was from the use of urea on pasture | He was going into battle with his cows every time at milking, now it’s a joy and type of meditation | Easy calving now, with no vet bills now - in 1999 before transitioning their vet bill was $20k | Improvement in soil takes time, improvement in animal health happens very quickly ‘once you take out the bad stuff’ | Farm biodiversity was not relevant back then | When Chris was young he wasn’t sure what wanted to do for a career | He attended University of New England (UNE) to do a Natural Resource Management degree, and deep down wanted to come back to the family farm | Chris did a Diploma in teaching in the 2000’s and taught casually at local high school to support income while transitioning | Uni taught Chris to work and learn | Deregulation of the dairy industry pushed Chris to change away from his conventional practices and there was a pull towards organic food through a growing demand for products | He went cold turkey and cut out all synthetic chemicals and fertilisers over night | Balanced soil creates healthy cows and the best milk | Chris attended a Holistic Management course run by legend HM educator Bruce Ward | Chris attended many conferences, read many books including Joel Salatin - You can Farm - followed the work of Elaine Ingham, Gary Zimmer and Jerry Brunetti and did lots of experimentation | Chris emphasises the importance of capturing nutrients (ie.manure and urine) in the system, and says he ‘farms vertically not horizontally’, focusing on the health of the soil | The head space of farmers and wellness is not generally of interest to banks and government | Customer understanding of the importance of clean nutritious food is increasing |A farm is a great place for kids to grow up | Chris’s protein and fat measurements are both 20-30% more now then when farming conventionally | He has a number of enterprises- lambs, chickens and pigs -diversity is important not just to the health of the farm but to the mental health of the human inhabitants | "Be you not someone else" | Chris used wood chip mulch to create fungal highways to spread biology throughout his farm via the cows feet Episode Links : Oxhill Organics HM educator Bruce Ward Joel Salatin- You can Farm - Elaine Ingham - Soil Food Web Biological Farmer - Gary Zimmer Jerry Brunetti - You Tube Mara seeds link https://maraseeds.com.au/

In today's episode, Ron Terwilliger, a great influencer in the apartment sector and dedicated philanthropist, shares part one of his story: his leadership at Trammell Crow Residential and how he literally spawned the next generation of the business.A Strong FoundationRon TerwilligerRon Terwilliger grew up in Arlington, Virginia in the late forties and fifties. He played baseball and basketball at Wakefield High School, and despite a back defect which was thought to be the end of his playing career, he went on to play for the Naval Academy. There, he was named an Academic All American in basketball.Post-graduation, he spent five years in the Navy before getting his MBA at Harvard.“I had one real estate class and I really liked it. I have a fairly good feel for numbers and how they relate and how to think about the quantitative side of the business.”His first real estate job was at Sea Pines Company at Hilton Head Island, where he met colleagues who would go on to work with him closely over the years. When the economy shut down and Sea Pines went bankrupt, he was almost frightened out of real estate. However, he also credits the intensity of the experience at Sea Pines, the recession, and their youth for creating such strong relationships between him and his co-workers.After Sea Pines, he joined the Henry C. Beck Company in Dallas as CFO where he helped grow the business. While in Dallas he was invited to join Trammell Crow Residential by Terry Golden (a business school classmate).Trammell CrowTrammell Crow's offer required him to take a significant pay cut, but he would have a 40% share in the company. He remembered how his father never took a risk and realized that if he didn't take this shot, he would never become an entrepreneur. Dick Michaux, a former Sea Pines associate, was his first partner. When Ron completed his first apartment project he made his first million.He credits Charlie Fraser of Sea Pines and Trammell Crow as his two mentors and emphasizes the importance of leaning on people who have a lot of experience in the business to teach you the ropes.He spent most of his time cultivating relationships with investors and lenders, managing core partner relationships, and hiring. Individuals who stood out to him were often MBA's, smart, had a good feel for numbers, an engaging personality, a healthy balance of work and pay, with a strong commitment to support their families.At Trammell Crow, Ron shares that his vision was to get rich slowly by avoiding over-leveraging and to think of your partnership as lasting for a career.Overcoming the Savings & Loan Crisis and a Tanked EconomyIt was a desperate time for a lot of people in real estate. At Trammell Crow, they didn't have any recurring income or assets other than a property management business that was cash flowing, so they had to make salary cuts and let people go which he says was incredibly difficult. These people didn't deserve to lose their job, but it was just a fact of life and necessary to save the company.This challenging time however brought about growth in a new way.As the market got back on its feet, they began developing again. Ron attended a conference with his colleague Chuck Berman, where they met with Fred Cavan about doing a REIT in the Northeast.This series of events led to the creation of AvalonBay with Dick Michaux, Bryce Blair, and Tim Naughton serving as CEOs. Gables with Marc Bromley was formed six months later. Four years later Leonard Wood left to form Wood Partners and about that same time Bruce Ward started Alliance.As these tree branches from the family tree of Trammell Crow grew, Ron continued to build it back and strengthen the roots. After the recession in 2008, Ron retired and set his sights on philanthropy, which we will dive into on next week's episode!

We also talk about how the Capitol Christmas Tree gets chosen and transported to DC. First Exposure to the Outdoors I think I'm like a lot of like a lot of folks in that for me it was with the boy scouts, that was my introduction. I lived in suburban Boston and didn't have access to a lot of real wilderness especially at that age. I did find a real affinity to some of the local open spaces and parks that were part of our local surroundings. Then where it really kicked in for me was after college. I got a job for a company called Trek International doing camping trips in North America, Europe and North Africa and I did that for seven years and was hooked. Things we talked about American Hiking Society Choose Outdoors National Trails Day Capitol Christmas Tree Nature Conservancy The Conservation Fund Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation National Turkey Federation America's Forests with Chuck Leavell Continental Divide Trail Advice, tips I would say that from all of my perceptions of what the industry or alliance does I think they are very successful in many ways. Way more successful than we ever were and have come a long way. Often times the first time you go to Washington and depending on your connections and depending on what your messages are who you're meeting with oftentimes you're going to get a low level staffer or maybe even an intern. And what I've come to understand very early on is you should treat them just as you would meeting with that member. Because in some cases they will go right back to the member because they're excited about something or they're really interested in something. But also more importantly many of those young people who I met 30 years ago are now members of Congress. I was working with Cory Gardner who is a senator from Colorado when he was a staffer for Wayne Allard. A lot of a lot of what happens in Washington becomes of comes from relationships. I didn't go in there you know slamming the timber industry or flaming oil. I needed this. I mean a Continental Divide Trail. We spent 30 years working on went through you know if you were to look through the topography a lot of that was oil gas a lot of that was mining a lot of waste raising. And if I had gone in with guns blazing against all of those other stakeholders I would get nowhere. You know I would have been you know disenfranchised by the converse of that was by working with them. I got a lot more done with members of Congress than I ever would have if I had taken sort of a polarizing view which I think unfortunately has been you know the way that people fight to get things done. You know depending on which way that you know majorities in Congress you know you may be great one year you know White House the devil is in the wind I think to these things. I mean there was legislation that I worked on back here I thought it was a no brainer to love it and you would be down to the wire and it wouldn't happen. Well you know guess what. Fifteen years later it gets slipped into an omnibus bill and you get it done. But you do go through that whole period of feeling like you're just banging your head against a wall or you know. How can people not understand how this is good for everyone. Right. And then ultimately because you developed that relationship because you've had that perseverance because you know being able to demonstrate the many benefits to the country or when an issue is good know I think a lot of these legislators go back there with truly the best edge they're here because they love our country and they want to do things that are better then they get caught up in the machine back in a ball game.

The reporters inside The Press of Atlantic City and The Philadelphia Inquirer.....and a few WOND 1400am Radio dorks..... are now huddled in their 'safe spaces'. These hacks were totally triggered by Trump's populist win. On occasion, these journo-pundits do emerge from their parent's basement to stalk a local GOP Congressmen or two.....record some iPhone video GOTCHA.....and post to their Twitter account. Traditional Journalism is officially over with this past election. Take that one to the bank, cupcake. State take-over of Atlantic City is official. Tim Cunningham could be in charge.....for next 5 years. Take-over Time The NJ state Local Finance Board will take over Atlantic City’s critical decision-making powers. Local Government Services Director Tim Cunningham is now in charge.
