Maya's U.S. story began when co-owner Justin Bruch discovered the corn head while farming in Ukraine and brought one back to Iowa. Rick Nelson eventually tried the head on his own family farm, became impressed with its construction and harvesting performance, and bought into the business around 2014. More than a decade later, Rick says the basic row-unit design has remained largely unchanged because the fundamentals were already right. One of the biggest differences is the longer row unit. Maya can run the head flatter—around a 15- to 17-degree angle—and use longer snapping rolls operating around 500–550 RPM. Rick explains that the larger working area allows the plant to be pulled through the deck plates more slowly, which can reduce butt shelling compared with a shorter row unit that has to operate faster. Maya also manufactures most of its gearboxes and row-unit components in-house, which Rick credits for the head's durability and quality control. Maintenance is another major selling point. Maya calls it an “annual maintenance head.” Beyond routine attention to components such as the combine drive-shaft U-joints and folding hinge points, Rick says a properly serviced head can generally run through the season without daily row-unit greasing. Its chopping option is designed for lower maintenance as well, with angled chopping action intended to reduce horsepower requirements while distributing residue evenly across the field. Corey also shares his experience harvesting completely flattened corn after the 2020 Iowa derecho. Instead of installing a traditional corn reel, Maya's down-corn units replace selected snouts with units containing an additional gathering chain that runs up the center of the snoot. Farmers can install them only on the rows necessary, retain the ability to fold the head, and remove or resell the units afterward. Rick emphasizes that Maya isn't simply a down-corn head—the system is an added layer of “cheap insurance” when wind, disease, or other conditions put a standing crop on the ground. Ultimately, Rick encourages farmers to evaluate total cost of ownership, not just purchase price. Maya offers a three-year unlimited-acre warranty, and Rick says he knows of multiple 16-row heads with more than 30,000 acres that have yet to replace a gearbox, row unit, or knife roller. His explanation of the philosophy behind the head is straightforward: it's built without planned obsolescence—“built how it used to be” and how he believes equipment should be built.

Built to Last: Defining Your Gold StandardHighlights from our conversation with gym owners across the country about resilience, purpose and building something that lasts.Piet and Emylee break down the four-pillar framework — Economics, People, Brand, and Self — that's kept Pharos Athletic Club standing through ten years, four locations, and a $5M year. They don't sugarcoat how they got here: the $1.3M first buildout in Echo Park, growing to 750 members and $2M in annual revenue with zero paid ads, and the Redondo Beach acquisition that quietly cost them $15–30K a month for years before they turned it around.This is a real look at the math and the mistakes behind running a multi-location gym — auto-pay revenue vs. top-line revenue, payroll percentage, why they hire for anti-fragility instead of just likability, and the questions that keep a brand consistent as it scales. It's less "how we built a five-million-dollar gym" and more "here's what we got wrong, and what we'd tell you before you make the same mistakes."In this episode:Why chasing revenue without tracking auto-pay revenue is a trapWhat it actually costs to take over someone else's gym (the Redondo Beach story)Hiring and firing by core values — the questions Pharos asks in every interviewBuilding an org chart and knowing when to make the sales director hireEmylee's personal operating system for running a CEO's schedule without burning out

How we communicate can either build relationships up or slowly tear them down. In Week 4 of Built To Last, Jackie Glass shares a simple cadence from James 1:19–20: quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger—inviting us to let Jesus shape not just what we say, but how we respond to the people around us.

Getting in shape is one thing. Staying in shape when life gets busy, stressful, or unpredictable is another. In this episode, Kirk breaks down the three essential steps for building and maintaining the physique and lifestyle you actually want. Whether you've made great progress before only to fall off track, you're currently stuck at a plateau, or you simply want a more consistent approach to your health, these three principles can help you stop relying on motivation and start building something that lasts. In this episode, Kirk covers: 1. Identity-led goals Before changing your diet, training, or daily habits, get clear on who you want to become. Your goals should reflect the identity you want to embody—not simply a number on the scales or a short-term physical target. 2. Minimum non-negotiable standards Your real habits are revealed when life gets difficult. Establish a baseline of behaviours you can maintain even during your busiest or most challenging periods, so one difficult week doesn't turn into months of lost progress. 3. Scheduled implementation Knowing what to do isn't the same as actually doing it. If your health and fitness goals matter, they need a place in your calendar. Look at how you're currently spending your time and ask: Does my schedule support the person I say I want to become? Beyond the physique Creating a great physique isn't just about how you look. It's about having the energy, confidence, discipline, and capacity to show up fully in the rest of your life. The goal isn't to repeatedly get back in shape. The goal is to build a life where staying in shape becomes part of who you are. If you're ready to transform your fitness while building a lifestyle that supports your personal and professional ambitions, learn more about Built To Last and how Kirk works with founders, CEOs, and high-performing individuals. Listen now and discover the three steps to building results that actually last. If you'd like help building a body, mindset and lifestyle that lasts, apply here: www.kirkmiller.co.uk  

How do we reflect the heart of Jesus in a world that is constantly reacting in anger and division? Welcome to Part 2 of our series, "Always & Never," where we shift our focus to the personal character, conduct, and security of a believer. In this message, we explore the greatest commandments and the absolute certainties of the Christian walk. Jesus tells us to always love God and our neighbors, and to always respond to hostility with grace instead of retaliation. At the same time, scripture reminds us of an incredible promise: God's love will never let us go, and His truth in Christ is the only way to eternal life. What you will learn in Part 2: How to practice true, patient love (1 Corinthians 13) in difficult relationships. The power of overcoming evil with good instead of seeking revenge. The absolute, unshakeable assurance that nothing can separate you from God's love. It's time to live out your faith with boldness and peace.

This week on Barbell Shrugged, Brian Newman joins Doug Larson and Dr. Mike Lane to talk about getting stronger, recovering from hard training, and staying healthy enough to keep doing what you love. Brian spent years working in professional baseball and now serves as Director of Health, Performance, and Safety for Fort Worth Fire. He explains how he trains firefighters who don't have an off-season and might get called out in the middle of a workout. We talk about moving in heavy gear, building a program around the squat, hinge, push, pull, and carry, and why getting crushed by a workout doesn't necessarily mean you're getting better. We also get into what it takes to come back from an injury and actually perform well again. Brian explains why your wearable can't tell you everything, how to adjust training when you're not recovering, and why strength coaches and medical staff need to talk to each other throughout rehab. Whether you're training for a sport, doing a physically demanding job, or just want to keep lifting as you get older, there's a lot here you can use. Have a reason for the work you're doing, give yourself enough time to recover, and make sure the people helping you are on the same page.

In week three of Built To Last, Pastor Leonard Davis shares “Growing Up,” a message about the spiritual and emotional maturity required to build relationships that last.

In Week 2 of Built To Last, Pastor Leonard Davis shares “Love As The Foundation,” exploring what it really means to build our relationships on love. Through 1 Corinthians 13 and John 13, we discover that real love changes how we relate to others, how we see ourselves, and ultimately how we relate to Jesus. The kind of love Jesus calls us to isn't something we manufacture on our own—it flows from experiencing His love for us. Use this week's Sermon Reflection Guide to dig deeper and consider what it looks like to make the love of Jesus the foundation of your relationships.

In this message, we unpack the divine blueprint God has established for our most intimate relationships: marriage and family. Using the absolute truths of Scripture, we look closely at what God says we must always cultivate within our homes—unconditional love, mutual respect, and pure devotion—and what we must never let enter—bitterness, neglect, or compromise. From the sacred covenant of holy matrimony to the intentional, grace-filled heart of godly parenting, this sermon provides practical, biblical tools to protect and prosper your family. What you will learn in Part 1: The true biblical meaning of sacrificial love and respect in marriage. How to parent with discipline and grace without provoking your children. God's protective boundaries for physical and emotional intimacy. Fix your foundation today. Like, subscribe, and share this video with someone who wants to strengthen their family!

In this episode of The Kirk Miller Podcast, Kirk comes to you with a raw and honest conversation about one of the biggest reasons people struggle to achieve their health goals: self-sabotage. If you're nowhere near where you thought you'd be with your health this year, this episode explores why the problem may not be your diet, training plan, or lack of discipline — it may be the way you're spending your time and energy. In this episode, Kirk explores: Why self-sabotage isn't always about food or exercise — and how repeatedly saying "yes" to the wrong things can quietly undermine your health. Auditing your calendar to identify which commitments are giving you energy and which are draining it. The connection between stress, overwhelm and poor health decisions, particularly for busy founders and entrepreneurs. Why your calendar reveals your real priorities — not what you say your priorities are, but how you actually live. How overcommitment depletes your mental and emotional reserves, making it harder to make good decisions around food, training, sleep and recovery. Creating space for what actually matters by delegating, removing or reconsidering commitments that don't align with your values. Why you don't need to wait for January to make a change. There is still time this year to reset your priorities and build healthier habits. How better health can improve more than your personal wellbeing, including your performance at work and the quality of time you have with the people you love. If your calendar is constantly leaving you exhausted, stressed and overwhelmed, it may be time to start saying "no" to the things that are pulling you away from the person you want to become. Your health isn't separate from your business, relationships or everyday life. How you structure your life directly influences the choices you make. If you're a founder, CEO or business leader who wants to build year-round health, confidence and energy, apply to Built To Last here: www.kirkmiller.co.uk

Built to Last - Highways and Hedges by The Covenant Church - Shreveport/Bossier

You love them. So why can't you shake the feeling that something might be wrong? Nothing is bad enough to leave. There's no glaring red flag. You're happy… mostly. But when you imagine getting engaged, moving in together, having a baby, or saying this is my person forever, something inside you hesitates. Do NOT ignore that feeling. But don't assume it means you should break up, either. In this episode, I'm sitting down with marriage and family therapist Dr. Benjamin Jones about the yellow, orange, and even beige flags that can leave you questioning your future together…and how to figure out what they actually mean. Dr. Ben offers a reframe that changes everything: Stop waiting for certainty. Start looking for confidence. You'll learn: How to tell a solvable problem from a real deal breaker Why you should never marry someone expecting them to change The question to ask when you love someone but still aren't sure Why confidence matters more than certainty Which relationship problems can actually get better with the right support Why waiting until after you're engaged to ask the hard questions may be too late If you're questioning whether this is really your person, listen to this episode before you make your next move.

Being busy doesn't mean your training has to disappear. For founders, CEOs and business leaders, there will always be periods when work demands more of your time and attention. The mistake is believing you either need to complete your normal training perfectly or not bother at all. In this episode of The Kirk Miller Podcast, Kirk shares five practical strategies for maintaining effective training when your calendar is packed. The focus isn't on finding more time. It's about making better use of the time you have, adapting your expectations and ensuring every minute you spend training has purpose. In this episode: Why training should be scheduled and protected like an important business meeting. How removing distractions can dramatically improve the quality of shorter sessions. Why your training expectations need to change during demanding periods. How setting a clear intention before every workout improves execution. Why focus and intensity matter more when training time is limited. How to reduce training volume without simply going through the motions. Why one high-quality working set can sometimes be more valuable than rushing through an entire programme. How to maintain consistency when business and life demand more from you. Why adapting your training is better than abandoning it completely. How staying physically consistent can improve confidence and performance outside the gym. Your training won't always look the same throughout the year. The skill is knowing how to adjust it without allowing a busy few weeks to become months of doing nothing. If you're a founder, CEO or business leader who wants to build year-round health, confidence and energy around the realities of a demanding career, apply to Built To Last here: www.kirkmiller.co.uk

Built to Last - Listen by The Covenant Church - Shreveport/Bossier

Building a property portfolio is about more than finding the next hotspot, with asset selection, market cycles, and hard-earned lessons all shaping what comes next. The inaugural episode of Built for Scale sees Liam Garman and Josh Crealy from LEVR Group discuss what it takes to build a property portfolio and a sustainable career in real estate. Crealy shares the investment mistakes that cost him dearly, including losses from chasing initial public offerings (IPO) and start-ups, and how those experiences changed his approach to building wealth. The pair explore asset selection, market cycles, and portfolio strategy, including why investors need to understand what they are buying rather than simply chasing the latest hotspot or market hype. The duo also discuss what separates sustainable property businesses from those built around marketing, and why genuine expertise, referrals, and repeat clients can matter more than noise in a tougher market. For more information you may reach Josh Crealy at josh@levrgroup.com.au or 0402248186.

As the renewable energy and storage industries grow, and enter more hostile geographies, asset resilience is becoming an increasingly pressing concern. Developers, owners and lenders want to know how solar, storage and other facilities can increase their resilience to the growing risks of physical threats such as hailstorms and wildfires. The rush to add capacity to meet surging demand from new data centres is adding to the pressure, making calculations about the value of asset reliability increasingly complex.In this special episode, host Ed Crooks speaks with Mike Perron, Renewable Energy Market Lead at FM, and Cassian Walker, Operations Vice President and Renewables Engineering Manager at FM, one of the world's largest commercial property insurers. They explain how insurers are starting to build resilience into renewable project design far earlier in the development process, and why that has become a financing issue as much as a technical one.For solar power, that means understanding the inherent physical risks such as hail, then deciding what combination of tracker systems, stowing technology and panels is right for the location. The same equipment that performs adequately in California or New Jersey can become a major liability in Texas or Arizona.Cassian explains how modern trackers can tilt panels away from an incoming storm to turn a direct hit into a glancing blow. Mike contrasts a devastating nine-figure loss at one Texas site with a far smaller loss at another facility that successfully stowed. Those resilience strategies can work only if the system is designed for the local wind and hail conditions, and the performance of the equipment has been tested and verified.From there, the conversation broadens to the economics. Insurance can account for a large share of a project's operating costs, and lenders are asking harder questions about resilience before they finance new builds. FM's case is that better engineering, better hazard modelling and earlier involvement from insurers and independent engineers can lower lifetime risk and improve financial performance, even if they raise up-front costs.Today, renewable developers still often treat insurance as a late-stage procurement exercise, after key technology decisions have already been locked in. Mike and Cassian argue that that is changing, but the industry is still early in that learning curve. As renewables become more important to the power system, those questions will only get harder to avoid.This episode of Energy Gang is sponsored by FM. As one of the world's leading commercial property insurers, FM combines engineering expertise, scientific research, and data-driven insights to help organizations understand, mitigate, and prevent loss before it occurs. From utility-scale solar and battery storage projects to thermal power generation, manufacturing operations, and other critical infrastructure, FM helps organizations build stronger, more resilient businesses.

In this episode, Kirk sits down with Richard D. Moat, an expert in emotional wellbeing, for a conversation about something we don't always know how to talk about: how we actually feel. Because success, achievement, relationships, and even a seemingly "good life" don't necessarily mean we feel good on the inside. Richard shares his perspective on emotional wellbeing, where our emotional patterns come from, why we often carry wounds from childhood and previous generations, and how learning to understand and express our emotions can transform the way we live. In this episode, we explore: Why emotional wellbeing starts with our relationship with our emotions How suppressed emotions can continue to affect us long after the original experience The emotional patterns and wounds we can inherit from previous generations Why the first seven years of life can have such a profound influence on how we relate to ourselves and others Why "reduce stress" isn't particularly useful advice unless we understand how to actually do it Richard's personal journey into emotional wellbeing following his father's cancer diagnosis Why high achievers can still feel unfulfilled despite external success How understanding our emotional needs can help us become more self-sufficient and fulfilled The difference between expressing emotions and acting them out Why creating a culture where talking about feelings is normal can change our relationships and communities Practical ways to start paying more attention to your emotional wellbeing Listen to the full episode of the Kirk Miller Podcast for a deeper conversation on emotional wellbeing, self-awareness, healing and what it really means to feel well.

Following Christ is a lifelong journey that requires us to keep going when life gets difficult, plans don't work, and people disappoint us. In the power of the Spirit, we learn to travel light, stop trying to control every outcome, develop a thicker skin, and care more about God's opinion than everyone else's.

Lasting transformation rarely starts with another diet, training plan or productivity hack. It starts with changing the way you think. In this episode of The Kirk Miller Podcast, five guests share the mindset shifts that helped them overcome very different challenges and create lasting change in their health, performance and lives. Mustafa Sener, Richard Porter, Luke Bland, Viktoriya and Jason Graystone each bring a different perspective—from managing time and using emotions productively, to escaping an all-or-nothing mentality, overcoming addiction and completely changing long-held beliefs around food. Different people. Different challenges. But each story demonstrates how changing your thinking can ultimately change your behaviour and your results. In this episode: Mustafa Sener shares how planning and structure allow him to balance business, training, family and the things that matter most. Richard Porter explains how emotions—including negative ones—can become powerful fuel for growth rather than something to avoid. Luke Bland discusses breaking his all-or-nothing mentality and why achievable targets and the right community helped him create consistency. Viktoriya shares her experience of overcoming addiction, changing her identity and creating systems that support the person she wants to become. Jason Graystone challenges common beliefs around food, restriction and nutrition, and explains how changing his approach transformed his performance. The circumstances may be different, but the underlying lesson is the same: lasting change doesn't simply come from knowing what to do. It comes from changing the beliefs, behaviours and standards that determine what you consistently do.
