Podcasts about building better

Joined by special guest Dr. Lee Jones from Boehringer Ingelheim, this episode focuses on effective heifer development as a foundation for long-term herd success, emphasizing the importance of selecting the right genetics and defining clear production goals. This conversation explores how early-life management—including colostrum intake, vaccination programs, and nutrition—plays a critical role in building immunity and supporting growth. They highlight key health risks such as bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) and stress the value of customized herd health plans developed with a veterinarian. Reproductive efficiency is another major theme, with strategies to ensure heifers reach puberty on time, breed early, and maintain long-term productivity. The group also evaluates whether heifers should calve at 24 or 30 months, weighing economic and logistical trade-offs. Overall, the conversation underscores that thoughtful planning and consistent management are essential to producing productive, profitable cows.

This week, Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest, Adrianne Nickerson. The two talk about the challenges women founders face in raising capital, the strategic formation of partnerships with major health systems, and how Oula is addressing both the medical and emotional needs of women before, during, and after pregnancy—all with the goal of transforming women's healthcare in the U.S. In this episode, we discuss: How Adrianne Nickerson identified the problems with traditional maternity care and designed Oula's innovative, team-based care model combining midwives, OB-GYNs, and care navigators to create a more personalized, supportive experience for women. What it took to develop partnerships with major institutions like Mount Sinai, Stanford, and a soon-to-be-announced Charlotte, NC location, and what shifting market trends made big institutions willing to consider new care models. When market conditions, such as changing consumer sentiment about over-medicalization and health workforce shortages, accelerated Oula's traction with health systems. Why the U.S. maternity care system was overdue for change, with poor outcomes, high costs, and a one-size-fits-all approach that left many women dissatisfied or even traumatized by their experiences. How constraints, obstacles, and even pandemic-era disruptions created unexpected opportunities to refine and scale the Oula business model. Adrianne Nickerson founded Oula in 2019, a collaborative maternity care practice that brings together midwives, OBGYNs, and care navigators to provide comprehensive care before, during, and after pregnancy. The practice delivers a full range of clinical services — preconception counseling, pregnancy care, hospital birth, postpartum support, and ongoing gynecology care — complemented by 24/7 care navigation, virtual support, educational resources, and expert-led workshops. Oula's team-based model emphasizes shared decision-making and personalized,whole-person care, consistently achieving outcomes that exceed national benchmarks: fewer cesarean births, lower preterm birth rates, higher VBAC success, and an average NPS of 90+. Oula accepts most major insurances, including Medicaid, and serves patients across New York and Connecticut, with continued expansion underway. Interested in learning more?

Continuing their discussion on the future of AI, David and Kate explore how advances in large language models could enable a new generation of smaller, more specialised AI systems. They discuss why the next wave of innovation may come from building tools that are more efficient, focused, and responsive to real-world needs rather than simply pursuing ever-larger models.

On this episode of Off the Mats Podcast, I sit down with my Colompton Beer Club co-host, Steve, for a different kind of conversation.

Today on Building Better Basketball we're joined by Tom Garlepp - a coach who has built a strong reputation across Australian basketball through player development, high-performance coaching, and his work within national team pathways. Tom has worked with athletes across multiple levels of the game and has recently come out of camp with the Australia Sapphires as their head coach. This gives him a unique insight into what selection, development, and high-performance environments really look like in Australian basketball right now. Literally, it finished yesterday! In this episode we dive into what coaches often miss when it comes to player development, what actually matters at national team level, the role mentoring has played throughout his coaching journey, and what life is like in a household where both he and his wife are coaches.

On the Contacts Coaching podcast, host Justin interviews Cody Bartlow, newly hired head men's soccer coach at Kansas Wesleyan University, about his path from an unplanned start coaching a U6 co-ed team in high school to 25 years in coaching across club, high school, and NAIA college programs in Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Kansas. Bartlow explains why he now calls sessions “training” instead of “practice,” emphasizing scenario preparation and player autonomy in a sport with no timeouts. He discusses lessons from coaching co-ed and both genders, building belief in female athletes through relationships and individualized approaches, and borrowing concepts from football, track, basketball, hockey, rugby, and baseball to teach soccer. He also covers multi-sport development, workload management, referee relationships, why back-to-back soccer games raise injury risk, regional differences in soccer culture, and the administrative reality of small-college coaching.00:00 Podcast Welcome00:30 Coach Bartlow Journey03:54 New Kansas Role04:17 Training Not Practice06:10 Coed Team Lessons11:13 Building Confidence16:25 Cross Sport Coaching22:11 Specialization Club Tension26:34 Managing Multi Sport Load28:58 Coed Season Juggling29:41 Managing Back To Back Games29:57 Respecting Referees32:15 Building Ref Rapport34:30 Soccer Scheduling Safety36:19 Recovery And Injury Risk40:22 Texas Vs Midwest Sports42:46 Club Culture And Ego46:01 Small College Coaching Reality51:52 Growth Mindset And Mentors54:42 Process Driven Training58:19 Final Takeaways And Thanks

From the very earliest days of what we now know as craft beer, flavor has been a defining factor and a guiding mantra for brewers casting themselves against the monolith of light macro lager that dominated American brewing for so many decades. If you track it back, fruits and spices have been ingredients in beer for as long as beer has been made, so this modern era of craft brewing is more rediscovery than revolution. But there's no denying that familiar and enticing, or even exotic and intriguing, flavors have been an incredible draw in bringing people into the fold who might never have considered themselves beer drinkers. Of course, the ways we can add those fruit and spice flavors to beer have evolved significantly from the earliest days of craft brewing, and brewers now have tools to target and dial in fruit and spice notes with incredible precision—something that is increasingly important as brewers explore low-ABV and nonalcoholic beers and beverages. In this episode, produced in partnership with Amoretti, we explore best practices for delivering flavor impact that's noticeable, authentic, seamless, and artful, but that also works to support the bottom line for breweries facing ever-increasing input costs. Joining the discussion are: Michael Lalli, brewmaster, Krebs Brewing and Prairie Artisan Ales (Krebs, Oklahoma) Micah Rush, R&D manager, The Bruery and Offshoot Beer (Placentia, California) Nic Bortolin, brewmaster and brand ambassador, Amoretti To connect directly with Nic Bortolin for questions or more information, please email him at Nic@amoretti.com.

Today on Building Better Basketball, we're stepping slightly off the court - but staying right at the heart of what makes great coaching. Because if we want more young people - especially teenage girls - to stay in the game, enjoy the game, and grow through the game… we need to better understand their experience. Our guest today is Fiona Sanford - a facilitator, speaker, and advocate who has worked with more than 30,000 young people across Australia. Her work focuses on identity, confidence, leadership, and helping young people find and use their voice. With a background as a semi-elite gymnast and now delivering programs across schools, communities, and sporting environments Fiona brings a really practical lens to the challenges coaches face every week. She's also deeply involved in anti-bullying work, helping young people understand team dynamics, build empathy, and take responsibility for the environments they're part of - something that translates directly into sport. In this conversation, we're going to explore what's really going on beneath the surface for teenage girls in basketball… where coaches sometimes get it wrong… and most importantly, what you can do about it in your very next session.   www.fionasanford.com.au

What happens when three brothers ditch the safe path to chase a sausage dream? In this episode, AJ Sharp sits down with Olly and Max Kohn, two of the three brothers behind The Jolly Hog, the British meat brand that's gone from a Kenwood sausage machine in a one-bed flat to shelves in every major UK supermarket.

We welcome back Dr. Kim Van Dusen to Parenting Understood. Dr. Kim discusses her newly released parenting book centered on creative, play-based strategies for building better behavior and deeper connection with children, primarily targeting parents, caregivers, coaches, and teachers of kids between the ages of 3 and 10. The book weaves together three evidence-based frameworks — including solution-focused therapy and positive behavior interventions — into what the author describes as a "trifecta" for more peaceful, connected parenting. A core message throughout is that children naturally connect and process the world through play rather than through adult-style conversations or lectures, so parents can use small, everyday "micro-play moments" (like turning room-cleaning into a game or using stuffed animals to role-play tough social situations) to navigate everything from sibling conflict to friendship challenges at school. The author draws on her own parenting journey, sharing personal stories about her 12-year-old daughter spontaneously using these techniques with her younger brother during a difficult night, and reflects on the decade-plus it took to write the book — a journey that included cancer treatment and the COVID pandemic. The episode closes with information on where listeners can find the book (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and the author's website) and how to follow her on Instagram.

An Auckland University researcher is using virtual reality, 3D printing, and real-time data to design and create leg braces for children with cerebral palsy, that are more comfortable. Cerebral palsy affects 1 in 500 New Zealand children, and 7000 New Zealanders currently live with cerebral palsy. It generally appears in very early childhood as the result of brain damage that occurs before or during a baby's birth, and the main symptoms are related to movement and posture. About half of children with cerebral palsy need ankle-foot braces to help them walk and prevent muscle tightening, but they can be bulky and uncomfortable. Sara Chami worked as a clinical orthotist in Tehran fitting braces for children. And also studied prosthetics. She's now with Auckland University's Bioengineering Institute and researching if the braces can be built better.

Sales skills are often the missing link for firm owners who are highly technical but struggle to confidently enroll clients, and this conversation with Rob Jolles breaks down what actually changes outcomes in real sales conversations. Rob draws from decades of experience working with Fortune 500 companies to explain why asking better questions, listening more deeply, and shifting from order-taking to true problem solving are the foundations of trust and conversion. The discussion moves through practical techniques like open-ended questioning, trial closes, and understanding client motivation, while also challenging common fears around persuasion and pricing. At its core, this conversation reframes sales as a human, consultative process rooted in clarity, curiosity, and the ability to guide clients toward better decisions without pressure or manipulation.

What does it really take to build a company where people feel supported, challenged, and connected to their work? In this episode, Bryce sits down with Daniel McCaulley, founder of Ultimus Engineering, to talk about leadership, mentorship, and building a culture rooted in purpose and community. As a family-owned, faith-based firm, Ultimus takes a different approach to growth—one that prioritizes trust, development, and giving people the space to step into ownership of their work. Daniel shares lessons from building and scaling his firm, mentoring younger engineers, and creating an environment where people can do meaningful work while continuing to grow. If you're thinking about culture, retention, or leadership—this conversation will give you a practical and refreshing perspective. What we cover: Why most companies misunderstand culture  The connection between mentorship and retention  Creating ownership vs. assigning responsibility  Building trust within teams  Supporting growth at different career stages  What purpose-driven leadership actually looks like  About Daniel: Daniel McCaulley, P.E. is the founder of Ultimus Engineering, a faith-based, family-owned engineering firm based in Texas.

What does real AI implementation actually look like when the hype fades, and the hard work begins? In this episode of Innovation Storytellers, I sit down with Brett Norton, President of Buffalo Construction, and Mike Gadsby, Co-Founder and Chief Innovation Officer at O3XO, for a candid conversation about what it takes to move AI from curiosity to business impact. This is not a discussion about vague transformation promises or shiny tools looking for a problem. It is a practical story about how one construction company partnered with an AI-focused innovation team to rethink workflows, identify friction points, and build a smarter path forward. Mike shares how O3XO approaches AI through a human-centered lens, starting with business goals, operational pain points, and the people closest to the work. Brett brings that thinking into the real world of construction, where teams are busy, systems are fragmented, and change only sticks when it clearly makes people better at what they already do. Together, they unpack how workshops, use case prioritization, and an internal AI council helped Buffalo move beyond surface-level experimentation and start applying AI in ways that improved estimating, accelerated learning, and opened new capacity across the business. What makes this conversation stand out is its honesty. Brett and Mike talk openly about skepticism, messy data, cultural resistance, and the challenge of making time for innovation when everyone is already stretched. But they also show what happens when leaders focus on small wins, practical outcomes, and involving the right people early. The result was not just faster processes, but stronger engagement, better knowledge sharing, and a clearer story for clients about how technology can strengthen execution. We also step back and look at the bigger picture, from the democratization of knowledge to the future of work, leadership, and community in an AI-powered world. If you are tired of hearing abstract claims about AI and want to hear how real companies are actually making it work, this episode will give you a much more useful place to start.

Breaking Down the Biggest Breeding Myths Breeders Face and how finding a way to Move Forward In this episode of Bred to Perfection podcast, hosts Kenny Troiano and Frank Bradley sits down with Douglas Bruce for a candid, wide-ranging conversation on breeding, education, and the growing problem of misinformation in the gamefowl community. Together, they explore how they first connected through their shared commitment to accurate inbreeding practices and discuss their journeys as writers, educators, and mentors. From publishing articles and building educational platforms to managing overwhelming mentorship requests, they pull back the curtain on what it really means to teach in a space flooded with constant noise. The discussion takes a critical turn as they address the biggest threats facing breeders today—especially the rise of social media "experts," the spread of bad information, plagiarism, scams, and the dangerous culture of illegal exposure. They challenge common but flawed practices like chasing bloodline names and percentages, constantly adding new blood, breeding unproven stags, and trying to manage too many lines at once. Instead, Kenny and Douglas emphasize the fundamentals: disciplined selection, maintaining true families, proper conditioning and nutrition, and the importance of record-keeping. They also break down the myth of "refreshing blood," explaining how genetic recombination actually changes a family rather than restoring it. This episode is a must-listen for breeders who want to move beyond hype and shortcuts, and focus on building high-quality strains through proven principles, collaboration, and education that truly serves the community. #Gamefowl #GamefowlBreeding #PoultryBreeding #BreedingExcellence #SelectiveBreeding #GeneticsMatters #BreedingTruth #BloodlineMyths #BreedersLife #FarmLife #AnimalBreeding #EducationMatters Make sure to follow and watch our future shows.

In this episode of The Real State Podcast, Alex Norman and Jamie Blond welcome back Philipp Willigmann, Founder of u-path, former CSO at Vontier Ventures, and a leader working at the intersection of strategy, venture capital, partnerships, ecosystem design, and real-world deployment. Philipp first joined the show in 2021 to discuss the future of mobility. He now returns with a broader perspective on how innovation actually happens—and why it often doesn't. At the center of this conversation is a powerful idea: innovation doesn't fail because of weak technology. It fails because of the systems around it. Incentives, capital flows, institutions, and leadership alignment determine whether ideas ever make it into the real world. That's where “building better rooms” comes in. Alex, Jamie, and Philipp explore how curated, trusted environments bring together the right leaders across corporate venture, innovation, capital, and policy to make better decisions and move faster from strategy to deployment. They discuss: Why trust and curation are more valuable than scale The rise of corporate venture capital as a strategic function The difference between performative innovation and real execution How geography (Miami, Berlin, and beyond) shapes leadership interaction What it takes to build credibility and convene global decision-makers Why better conversations lead to better outcomes This episode is not about conferences—it's about infrastructure for better decision-making, and how leadership, capital, and place come together to shape the future of business and society. If you're interested in innovation, leadership, venture capital, AI, corporate strategy, or how real decisions get made at the highest levels, this conversation offers a rare inside perspective.

In this episode, we sit down with Almir Maljević—FMS partner in Bosnia, educator, and instructor for FMS courses—who has built a thriving system by doing one thing differently:He starts with the person, not the program.From rebuilding his own path after injury…  to realizing strength and power weren't the missing piece…  to going all-in on screening, systems, and education…This is a real conversation about what actually works—and what most people get wrong.You'll learn:• Why strength and power aren't enough  • The moment he realized he needed to “empty the cup”  • How screening changed everything  • Why most coaches skip the most important step  • How to build trust before training  • The difference between being busy vs effective  • Why education—not exercise—is the real value  • How he built a business from zero clients to a scalable system  This isn't theory.This is what it looks like when you apply the principles—and stick to them.---More about our guestWebsite: https://www.pfhsc.ba/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/team_pfhsc/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ProFit.Health.StrengthAndConditioning/---#FMS #MovementPodcast #SFMA #Coaching #FunctionalTraining #PerformanceFunctional Movement SystemsYouTubeFacebookInstagramX (Twitter)Subscribe to the FMS Newsletter

Aristotle, one of history's greatest thinkers, explored the nature of friendship thousands of years ago—and his insights are more relevant today than ever. In this solo episode, Travis breaks down Aristotle's three types of friendships and connects them to modern life, success, and even income. By understanding how your relationships shape your decisions, opportunities, and mindset, you can intentionally build a network—and a life—that actually moves you forward. On this episode we talk about: The three types of friendships: utility, pleasure, and virtue Why mislabeling relationships leads to disappointment and frustration How your friendships directly impact your income and life trajectory The danger of outsourcing your values to groups or belief systems Why friendships of virtue are rare—but the most important to cultivate Top 3 Takeaways Not all friendships are created equal—understanding the difference helps you set better expectations and avoid unnecessary disappointment. Friendships of virtue (shared values and mutual growth) are the most meaningful and long-lasting, but they require intentional effort to build. Your network isn't just about proximity or shared interests—it's about alignment in values, and that alignment determines the quality of your life and success. Notable Quotes "If you don't categorize your friendships, you'll expect the wrong things from the wrong people." "People will learn more from how you live than what you say—and the same goes for who you surround yourself with." "It's never a bad thing to have people in your life who are genuinely conspiring for your success."
