It's Fieldays this week - and it coincides with a poll finding just 3 per cent of farmers support Labour, while 54 per cent back National. Why is National seemingly the party of farmers? Also, should farmers be able to use their Kiwisaver to purchase their first farm or herd? To answer those questions, Labour's police spokesperson Ginny Andersen and National's Mike Butterick, live from Fieldays, joined Nick Mills for Politics Thursday.

Parliament is officially halfway through the three-year term - so how would our parties rate their performances over the last eighteen months?

In this roundtable, we go deep into project deliverability — how to actually get things built on time, within budget, and without the usual chaos.I'm joined by three absolute guns in the quantity surveying game:

Kiwirail has announced the Interislander Aratere will be retired – leaving us with just two ferries until new ones arrive in 2029. Can the country cope with a reduced ferry fleet? Also, Finance Minister Nicola Willis has given herself barely any new money this budget, and most of the money she has got has already been spent. Are we likely to see substantial cuts? To answer those questions, Labour's police spokesperson Ginny Andersen and National's Wairarapa MP Mike Butterick joined Nick Mills for Politics Thursday.

The government has announced changes to the laws surrounding citizens arrests - but how would this law work in practice, and could retailers be put even further in harms way? Also, the government is introducing legislation to allow for a four year term - but only if the public supports it at referendum. Will they?

Susanna återkommer till Perfect Guide och Hugo Rehnberg. Den här gången handlar det om AI och dess omåttliga dumhet. Det tog Johan en dag att rensa bort AI ur Microsoft Word, men det gick. Hur kan stress leda till att 44 kvinnor blir av med livmodern på akademiska? Obegripligt, men typiskt svenskt att all verksamhet egentligen är till för personalen. Och sedan Trump och Musk förstås. Är Musk verkligen chef för något? Ja och nej, verkar det som. Johan Wennström har hamnat i hetluften för att han kritiserar västvärldens tidigare hållning i Ukrainakriget. Inom högern blir Trump nu en splittrande kraft, som Gaza var för vänstern. Henrik Jönsson, Ivar Arpi, Aron Flam, Peter Wennblad: alla råkar de i luven på varandra. Janerik Larsson har skrivit en insiktsfull artikel om Trump i Smedjan. Peter Esaiasson gör också en bra analys. Det finns mönster: kanske vill Trump se till att Ryssland inte blir vasallstat till Kina? Och att han klämmer åt Sydafrika beror nog på att ANC gick Irans ärenden (mot ersättning, av allt att döma) när de anmälde Israel för folkrättsbrott. Edward Lucas blickar framåt i försvarsfrågan. Liberalerna förlorar företrädare, antagligen för att politiker vill vara partier som kommer in i riksdagen. Plötsligt ringer telefonen, men vi bara kör. Kommer Dominika Peczynski in i riksdagen nu? Viggo Cavling levererar glädjebudet att Butterick's överlever. Barometern berättar om en meningslös Atlantsegling. Benke sågar Bruno K Öijer, men blir det någon kulturfejd?

An investigation into Census data provided to third-party organisations has found there weren't enough safeguards around the data - and now there are fears it will impact Kiwis trust in the Census. Will it? Also, there are calls for a review of Destiny Church's charitable status after a protest against a Rainbow story time event in Auckland over the weekend. Is it time for a wide-ranging review of charity settings, and should the church have charity status? To answer those questions, Labour's Health and Wellington issues spokeswoman Ayesha Verrall and National's Wairarapa MP Mike Butterick joined Nick Mills for Politics Thursday.

Det finns en stark önskan att hitta någon mening i masskjutningen i Örebro. Det leder till att alla drar fram sina käpphästar, från invandring till islamofobi. Men tänk om det inte finns någon mening att tala om? Hur skötte sig egentligen polisen? Vi får väl se när utvärderingarna kommer. Vi fortsätter vår kampanj för att rädda Butterick's. Lite Butterick's är det över tokvänstern, som nu sliter varandra i stycken: Mattias Gardell likställer Tobias Hübinette med förintelseförnekare och folkmordsapologeter. Det är väntat: ytterkanterna tar alltid död på sig själva. Nu ska svenska kyrkan börja be för att det ska bli lite ordning i Sverige. Varför dröjde det så länge? Susanna kommer tillbaka till begreppet inre exil och minns en artikel med unga teknikfobiker i New York. Vad är egentligen ett museum? Kanske är det som Andy Warhol förutspådde att museer blivit affärer och affärer museer. SL öppnar spärrarna och ger kriminella ett nytt flyktfordon.

Nya sängar i Sydafrika, hur gör man? Vi har hackat det. Landerholmsgrejen rullar vidare. Det blir lite löjligt, men DN är så, så stolta. Anders Ydstedt kan tala om att svenskar gillar rikingar - det trodde ni inte, va? Och så tar vi oss an Salwan Momika, koranbrännaren som skjutits, vem var han egentligen? En tokskalle? En agent? Det handlade inte bara om yttrandefrihet, utan om Sveriges fäbless för att importera utländska konflikter. Men fanns det en tanke med att mörda honom innan dom föll? I så fall av vem? Fores, tankesmedjan, blir av med hälften av pengarna från Centerpartiet och måste lägga ned, sägs det. Märkligt om Centern verkligen tror på Fores budskap att den här regeringen är på väg att avskaffa demokratin och rättsstaten. Och Murre sitter löst, läser vi i SvD... Någon måste rädda Butterick's! Alla miljardärer i vår lyssnarskara, gör en insats. Klart att det går att få denna pärla i svensk humorhistoria att leva vidare. Mamma Mu och Kråkan fyller 40, grattis! Loket har trillat av pinn. Mikael Timm gör den bästa, rakaste kommentaren vad gäller svensk filmpolitik efter Göteborgsfilmfestival. Var? I Fokus Sticket, förstås. Och I Fokus börjar också den nyväckta debatten om Bertholt Brecht, dramatikern som enligt den österrikiske kanslern Bruno Kreisky "var en skithög och inte kunde han skriva heller".

The year in politics has begun with a bang, with Prime Minister Christopher Luxon announcing a cabinet reshuffle that sees two big portfolios, health and transport, handed to new Ministers. But how will the new Ministers perform in their new jobs, and what did Shane Reti and Melissa Lee do wrong to lose their biggest responsibilities? Also, Donald Trump has been sworn in as the 47th President of the United States. What impact will his policies have on New Zealand and the world?

My guest today is my friend and PPT community favorite, Betsy Butterick! Betsy is a lifelong athlete who played college basketball, a coach, and communication specialist. She is known in the industry as “The Coaches' Coach”, mentoring leaders - from the boardroom to the locker room. Betsy has committed her life to helping leaders learn essential communication skills to help them better connect with the people they serve. As a communications expert and a generous teacher, she deeply understands the sociology of sports teams, and the importance of creating an optimal sports environment. More than anything, Betsy is committed to the lifelong practice of learning. If you are a coach, a leader, a parent, or around humans in general, you can learn something from Betsy. In our episode today, we chat about one of the most relevant topics in today's sports landscape: Coaching Gen Z! We cover: How to get athletes to buy-in and co-create their sports environment The challenges Gen Z faces that older generations did not. Modern coaching challenges that are causing coaches to leave their careers Simple tips to communicate with Gen Z, without sacrificing “old school values”. How psychological safety on a team impacts performance. Why strong-arming Gen Z athletes won't work, and what to do instead This episode gives coaches a new perspective and actionable tips to help them connect with their team in a way that makes the coach-athlete relationship and the team stronger.

She then defines ”Gen Z”. [2:50] Betsy asks coaches to finish the sentence, “Kids these days are… “ and explains what that helps her discover about a team. Lindsey and Betsy discuss the few defining challenges that Gen Z has that older generations didn't have. [6:33] How can I get Gen Z to listen to me? Why do they seem to care so much about what other people think of them? Betsy shares her perspective and explains the extreme way in which Gen Z internalizes failure. Rather than - “I failed”, it's - “I am a failure”. [9:46] Betsy shares an example of one big mistake she sees many coaches making when it comes to giving feedback to Gen Z athletes. Lindsey and Betsy discuss why many lifelong coaches are now leaving their careers because what they're doing is no longer working with this generation. [14:54] “It's not that old school values are irrelevant, I would argue they're more needed than ever. Our ability to connect with athletes today is paramount to our ability to transform them.” [16:56] Lindsey asks Betsy for a few actionable tips to give coaches who work with Gen Z. Betsy chats about the importance of co-creation and defines what that looks like. [21:00] Lindsey draws a parallel between the best practices for coaching Gen Z and the way she approaches parenting. [22:50] Betsy tells a story about working with a coach who had a sign saying “Because I Said So” mounted to the wall. [26:46] Betsy outlines the huge risk to coaches who want to strongarm their way into coaching athletes their way. The two discuss the importance of “psychological safety” in sports. [28:28] How has the attention span of Gen Z shifted, and what can we do as educators to meet them where they're at? Lindsey talks about the importance of practicing what you preach. [32:56] Betsy peels back the curtain to share the highlights and structure of her Gen Z workshops. [35:28] Betsy talks about her new workshop, “Updates from the Field, Coaching Gen Z in an Optimal Sport Experience” - based on the last 5 years of conversations she had with Gen Z athletes, and why it has become the most requested keynote.

Specializing in vintage glamour, Gretchen “Gertie” Hirsch is a designer who infuses her passion for sewing into glamorous creations that can be customized for anyone. She got her start as a blogger with the popular Gertie's New Blog for Better Sewing, and has collaborated with Butterick and Simplicity on the “Patterns by Gertie” line of sewing patterns, and designed fabrics for Joann Fabrics, Spotlight Stores and Michael Miller. A sought-after instructor, Gertie has traveled the world to lead sewing workshops highlighting her techniques.

In 2020, she launched her Patreon subscription service, which includes monthly downloadable patterns and accompanying video tutorials, virtual sewing circles, live streams, and more.

My guest today is my friend and PPT community favorite, Betsy Butterick! Betsy is a coach and communication specialist with a history of coaching D1-D3 college basketball, and the WNBA. Today, Betsy is opening up about her choice to leave it all behind for the never ending adventure of being her own boss. Betsy works with individuals and teams that are ready to improve. Her work spans the locker room to the boardroom, and is applicable to every area of life. Anytime I get the pleasure of sitting down with The Coaches Coach herself, I leave with renewed motivation and nuggets of wisdom that I take into my own coaching. One thing I admire about Betsy is how she'll do anything to push toward that next level. In this episode, she talks about using her part-time job at an airport to get her business off the ground, and how sitting at a children's hospital helped her practice being uncomfortable. Beyond being one of the best-spoken people I've ever met, Betsy is honest, vulnerable, and relatable. Her successful business didn't happen overnight, and she's not afraid to peel back the curtain. This episode is full of practical wisdom and is super encouraging, especially for all my aspiring mindset coaches out there. In her words, “I'm a normal and average person [...] If I can do it, you can do it!” Follow Betsy: Website: www.betsybutterick.com Instagram: @betsy_thecoachescoach YouTube: www.youtube.com/user/BetsyButterick ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here's a glance at this episode: [0:58] Betsy introduces herself. She was a college golfer, then coached college-level basketball, eventually making her way to coaching in the WNBA. She identifies the exact moment she realized coaching existed outside of sports, which soon brought her to her current career coaching coaches as a communication specialist. [5:27] It was not an easy decision to make the jump from leaving a great coaching job to building a business from the ground up. [9:58] Shared experience and relatability goes so far in coaching, and it's a great way to counter Imposter Syndrome. Betsy shares a tip for aspiring mindset coaches that helped her get her foot in the door. She also introduces her ACT video series. [15:20] Right out of the gate, Betsy wanted to work with the people that she understood the best: Coaches. In her opinion, offering value before you're asked is one of the most valuable things you can do to be successful in the field. [19:25] “Don't measure your success by what you don't know. Put out into the universe what you know is good and of value, and do that consistently.” Lindsey and Betsy discuss the unique challenges with marketing via social media and the importance of staying grounded in what you know and who you're targeting. [24:33] It can be hard to be your own boss and remain confident; Betsy digs into her own relationship with confidence and trusting the process. She opens up about how being a mom has changed her life. [30:27] Lindsey asks the question “How did you suspend the how?” Betsy's answer includes 2 stories that illustrate how she learned to “sit with suffering”. [36:04] After she left coaching, Betsy landed her very first client that she describes as, “The best first client I could have hoped for… because she was so skeptical”. Betsy takes Lindsey through how she landed her first client and took advantage of the right opportunities. [40:37] The HUSTLE is all about getting creative. Betsy talks about how she worked on her skills, made the ask (even when it was intimidating) and even worked part-time at an airport in exchange for flying standby anywhere in the country. [44:13] Betsy jokes about her “beer meeting” and how she's worked on her money mindset. In her words, “People can't accept what you don't offer”. [47:33] “We can criticize ourselves for the things we didn't do, or congratulate ourselves for the risks that we take”. Betsy explains the very real reward of starting a business, pushing through the fear, and seeing it through. [52:18] Wrapping up the episode, Lindsey asks Betsy how people can learn more about her and the good work she does. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts “I love Lindsey's straight forward, realistic approach to motivation and living your best life.”

If I ask you do you fancy making your own coat, what thoughts go through your head? I remember the first time someone suggested that to me and it was way out of my comfort zone.So what about you? Are you thinking - it's easy Jacqui I've already done it - if so, then kudos to you. Or are you thinking - I'd love to do that but it seems way too difficult? Whether you have already made a coat or if it's one of those projects you keep putting off until you are better at sewing then I'm hoping that today's episode is going to dispell any fears and motivate you to give it a try.Like with all garments there are different types of coats and some are definitely more complicated or involved than others. So today I want to talk about a pattern for an unlined coat that I actually made a couple of years ago but that I think can be a great starting point for anyone wanting to have a go without it being overly difficult. The last coat I bought was one that I happened to stumble on when not really looking for a coat in TKMax. I'm not a big shopper and I find clothes shopping a real challenge. So that's why I ended up biting the bullet and making my own.There's lots of great benefits to making your own coats and there is a growing range of great coat patterns out there to choose from.So the pattern I want to talk to you about today is a Butterick pattern from their Lisette range. It's the B6244 and the name on the pattern is draped collar coat and dress. In this episode I share my experience making this coat, some tips if you want to get started and some things I'll change from the lessons I learnt from this make.For the full details, links and resources visit this page: https://sewmuchmorefun.co.uk/post/episode54If you enjoy this episode please add a rating and/or review as it helps others to find us and be sure to share with any friends that love to sew.Also, if you haven't done so already, follow the podcast.

Sean: Now I want to hop a little bit forward. So you sold that business and what went through your mind? I mean, you have this pile of cash now and not sure where to go. How long did it take you for you to have - I don't know what you did right after. Did you go on a break vacation with your husband, with your family, or did you want to already look into what's next? What can we do next? Carol: No, I didn't do anything for a while. I mean, I find that business ideas show up in my head and then I start figuring out whether they make sense or not. That second one came because I'd been sewing for my kids. I never known how to sew, but when I started having kids, I thought, I better learn how to sew because it's expensive to buy clothes. Right? And I remember going at the place it happened was I went into the Bitex, which is a huge fabric store in San Francisco, and was talking with several of the salespeople there and mentioned how I'd like to learn how to design my clothes. And I ended up getting a class, talk to a woman there. And slowly I began to build this idea that if I could make I had to make a pattern for myself. Other people must want to do that. Carol: Bitex had this set up where you could become a member of countries internationally with cost you a couple hundred bucks and you could then buy the fabrics that the designer used for the pattern you were making. And I thought, Hmm, I should do this for more than me. And that's kind of how business ideas come to me, just like I didn't like being treated as a tenant, and certainly so I created business to take care of that. I didn't like the idea that I always had to take somebody else's design. I wanted to take my own. And then I created that business; before I ever sold it, I created into a community, a network of people. We ran fashion shows in big restaurants. People modeled the clothes they had made using my patterns and my fabric, which brought more people into my business. And by then, I was in graduate school and soon was teaching at a university. Carol: And that one ended more because I'd figured out how to do it and I was a little bored. And that out of nowhere, well, the fact that I was doing a fashion show and working with Bitex, they talked to the Butterick distributor or whatever they are, who went back and talk to them about what I was doing. And that's how I got approached by them because I was very connected. And I'm always talking about what I'm doing, like you and I right? And I haven't actually talked to this story probably in 30 years, so it's such fun to remember it all. But that led to a door. So another lesson there is keep people informed. Don't worry about they're going to steal your idea. I watch a lot of entrepreneurs get worried. No, tell people what you're doing. Because if you're following something that's coming out of you, nobody can copy it. They may take an idea, but they'll never be able to do what you're doing. Sean: Yeah. Yeah, for sure. 100%. - - - Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/leadershipstack Join our community and ask questions here: from.sean.si/discord Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/leadershipstack Leadership Stack Merch: https://leadershipstack.com/shop/

Betsy is a former collegiate basketball and golf coach who also spent time in the WNBA and has since paired her degree in psychology and background in sport to become a communication specialist, educator, and coach to coaches across the country through her workshops and training.

Let's settle in and get to know Betsy Butterick.

What began as just a hobby in Mimi's Los Angeles home in 2012 blossomed into an international brand. She's achieved a daily engagement of more than 3.2 million followers across all social media platforms, 22 million pageviews and 2.2 million unique visitors annually on her blog and courses on DIY. But her love of sewing started long before that.Mimi began sewing when she was twelve, taking apart clothes, and figuring out how to put them back together again. She didn't realize that she was teaching herself the basics of construction and pattern making.  Although she was a runaway at 15 and a single mom at 16 living on the streets of L.A., Mimi always knew that she had some sort of purpose in life. Although it was hard to sew while she was homeless, her love of sewing never left her. She eventually got a job in film production, started a sewing blog, created home sewing videos for You Tube, and became a successful and respected entrepreneur. She signed on as a licensee for Simplicity in 2014 and was the first blogger to have her own pattern line. Within a few years, her tenacity and talent led her to the role of VP for the Big Four (McCall, Butterick, Vogue, Simplicity). Mimi shares, in detail, her journey to creating several multi-million-dollar businesses. (2:32 – 22:16)Mimi has consistently been an advocate for creating more sexy and confident patterns for plus-size women, more stylish patterns for men, styles for brown and black women, new sewists and young sewists. She is integrally involved in every aspect of the business, from creating the patterns, to obtaining fabric rights, to merchandising and branding. In addition to her role as a Vice President, her blogs, online classes, and other highly successful ventures, Mimi, along with her friend and fellow sewist, Brittany J. Jones, founded Melanated Fabrics and Creative Center in Atlanta. To add to her list of accomplishments, Mimi has written a book, which will be released next year.Simply put, Mimi's story is a story of hope, fortitude and grit. An important part of her mission in life is to inspire men and women to embrace their power, find their voice and discover their purpose. She attributes much of her success to following her inner voice and being authentic. She believes that if you do what you love, the money will follow. In her words, “It has to be something that's special to you, and something that you would do even if you weren't being paid for it.”  The purpose, she says, has to be genuine. (22:24 – 38:55)  As you listen to this amazing and engaging podcast, you realize that Mimi's story is not about the struggles, but about the triumphs. The best way to reach her is through Instagram @Mimi G style. If you know someone who has an outstanding story that should be shared on this podcast, drop Meg a note to info@sewandsopodcast.com or complete the form on our website.
