What if selling your company didn't mean letting go—but leveling up, on your terms? In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Ryan Begelman returns for part two to share the behind-the-scenes story of how he scaled, sold, and systematized a company—without losing his sense of joy. From building a business with friends to generating millions in additional value by taking the exit process into his own hands, Ryan unpacks how thoughtful planning, operational excellence, and self-education made all the difference. He shares why most founders leave money on the table during a sale, how he trained his COO to take over, and the surprising reason he almost didn't want to sell.

Guest: Dr. Anne Heggli, Assistant Research Professor at the Desert Research InstituteWeather forecasts are more than just high and low temperatures or the chance of rain—they're a complex mix of data, models, and probabilities. But how do we effectively communicate uncertainty in forecasts? And why do so many people struggle with understanding probability-based predictions? It may be easy for us Weather Geeks, but we need to make weather forecasts accessible to as many people as possible, which is exactly the challenge our guest today is tackling! Dr. Anne Heggli wears many hats in her professional life, but her excellence in water resource management across the western United States will teach all of us how to process data and uncertainty just a little better after this episode of Weather Geeks…Chapters00:00 Understanding Weather Forecasts and Uncertainty03:00 The Importance of Water Resource Management05:53 Communicating Probabilistic Forecasts09:13 Visual Communication in Weather Forecasting12:03 Challenges in Communicating Weather Risks14:51 Hurricane Forecasting and the Cone of Uncertainty19:07 The 40% Chance of Rain Explained29:52 The Future of Data Visualization in Weather36:00 Engaging Communities in Weather PreparednessSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

They break down the role of sperm morphology in fertilization and explain how it's assessed and why, even with IVF, poor morphology can make a difference.

The docs explore the influence of varicocele, a common condition, and how it can impact sperm health and fertility outcomes.

This episode was recorded in Reno, Nevada, during the 2025 Western Dairy Management Conference. The panel discusses their individual experiences with outbreaks in different states. Beth talks about her group's microbial surveillance technology they used to compare rectal swabs from positive and non-positive herds. They noted elevations in specific virulent E. coli, Salmonella spp., and Clostridium perfringens in the HPAI-positive herds. Enrique noted that in California, the outbreak began in the South Valley during periods of heat stress, which exacerbated symptoms. He also felt that some dairies panicked a little and moved cows too much, which did not help. In the North Valley, the outbreak happened in cooler weather, and dairies purposefully did not move cows out of their pens and provided supportive therapy within the pen. (5:25)Dr. Schcolnik emphasized making sure i's are dotted and t's are crossed in your nutrition program to help manage through an outbreak. The immune system is an obligate glucose utilizer, so energy is key, as are protein and trace minerals. He noted they also added binders to diets, and either probiotics or double doses of yeast to keep the rumen healthy. Decreasing intake is a big symptom, so he recommends vitamin B supplementation to stimulate appetite. (12:30)The panel discusses how the Texas and California outbreaks differed from one another, including heat stress, recovery in milk production after infection, bird migration and cattle movement. Enrique notes that in California, it seemed like transmission was going downwind. Animal movement, wild birds and milk trucks were also implicated. (14:31)Several companies are investing in vaccine development, but the virus mutation is a challenge. Dr. Spencer wonders if the vaccine will end up resembling the human flu vaccine where you hope to target the general structure of the virus to reduce impact. The panel talks about natural immunity and how cows will be impacted in the lactation after they were ill. Dr. Schcolnik has observed that a percentage of cows who were dry during the outbreak aren't performing as well after freshening. He hypothesizes this could be due to mammary cell death during infection, as the virus lyses the cell as it exits the cell. (24:41)The panel discusses practical recommendations for dairy producers to prepare for or help mitigate during an outbreak. Biosecurity is key. Vaccines are hopefully on the way, but until then, minimizing cattle movements within the herd, post-dipping cows as soon as possible after the machine falls off and minimizing splashing of milk are all good practices. The panel looks forward to more research about all the different ways the virus transmits. They're also eager to learn more about treatment plans and what has worked for different dairies regarding giving fluids, altering rations, boosting the immune system, managing co-infections and impacts on calves and heifers. (29:18)Lastly, panelists share their take-home thoughts. (37:33)Scott invites the audience to Bourbon and Brainiacs at ADSA in Louisville - a bourbon tasting with all your favorite professors!

Tariffs and E.V. adoption are two major headwinds facing the auto industry. Karl Brauer discusses the impact of tariff uncertainty on car sales and inventory. Despite initial demand surges, Brauer expects a pullback in May, citing "pull forward" sales and inventory normalization. E.V. adoption also lags behind expectations due to range anxiety, limited charging infrastructure, and higher upfront costs.

Rose and Doug Phillips asked: “how can we spend every day, together, doing what we love?” Their answer was Conscious Clothing. For two decades they built their business on this premise - even building the gorgeous, sun-filled Michigan studio where their team of ten designs and makes each piece of organic and natural fiber clothing.  Things haven't always been dreamy, though.

This conversation focuses on the importance of empathy, both for customers and within teams, and advocates for breaking down departmental silos to foster collaboration and drive sustainable growth. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   Christopher Lochhead on Understanding the "Existing Market Trap" Christopher Lochhead explains that many startups fall into the "existing market trap," where they build something new but compare it to existing products. This approach stifles innovation and fails to create new demand. Instead, startups should focus on understanding their customers deeply and innovating based on their needs. Christopher introduces the concept of "super consumers," who are passionate individuals at the edges of the bell curve. These customers are not just users; they are evangelists who can help shape and define categories. He suggests that you look for customers who are highly engaged with your product and vocal about their experiences. You then create exclusive communities or programs for these super consumers to gather feedback and encourage them to spread the word about your product.   The Importance of Authentic Dialogue Christopher discusses the decay of civil discourse in society and its impact on authentic dialogue. He believes that healthy debate and the exchange of differing viewpoints are essential for a functioning society and fostering innovation in business. Christopher also shares his personal experiences with being de-platformed on social media for promoting free speech. He argues that the ability to engage in civil discourse is crucial for personal expression and fostering innovation.   Challenges in Startups Anna and Christopher discuss the common pitfalls startups face as they grow, such as shifting focus from customer feedback to product development and sales. Christopher shares examples of companies that have thrived by prioritizing customer relationships and adapting their offerings based on customer needs. Some of the things they could do are to analyze how successful companies maintain their customer focus and apply similar strategies to your business. They should also be willing to pivot your strategies based on customer feedback and market changes.
