In Part 1 of our two-part conversation with Dr. Bhupinder Farmaha, we dig into the reality of shifting farmer mindsets around nutrient management. As Clemson Extension's Soil Fertility Specialist, Bhupinder walks us through his journey from studying soil science at the University of Illinois to on-farm research in Minnesota and across South Carolina—where he's working side-by-side with farmers to reevaluate how much (and what kind of) fertilizer is really necessary.We explore the difficulty of challenging generational practices and the importance of building trust through local, participatory research. Bhupinder shares stories of farmers like Sonny Price, who haven't applied potash for nearly a decade—without any loss in yield—and how that's pushing the envelope on conventional wisdom.Topics covered include:Why scaling back fertilizer use is as much cultural as it is agronomicThe importance of working on real farms, not just research stationsBuilding peer-to-peer farmer networks for changeHow soil health practices like cover crops impact profitability, pH, and nutrient cyclingLearning from farmer-led experiments and shifting extension modelsThis episode lays the groundwork for a broader conversation about nutrient efficiency, soil health, and what it takes to bring about real-world change in agricultural systems. Whether you're conventional, curious, or fully regenerative, there's something here for everyone interested in growing smarter.Resources Mentioned in This EpisodeCotton, Country Conservation: An 8-Year Case Study in Regenerative Agriculture (Following SC Farmer Sonny Price's path of reducing input costs, increasing organic matter, and saving over $2.5 million): soilhealthlabs.com/projects/cotton-country-conservation

Here's the truth no one talks about: You don't get what you want in life—you get what your nervous system feels safe receiving.Think about it—every client who comes to work with you has something they deeply desire. They've likely tried multiple strategies, taken all the "right" steps, and still aren't seeing results. Whether it's more money, a thriving relationship, or a successful business, the reason their goal remains out of reach often isn't due to a lack of capability or an outside factor–but because their nervous system isn't yet on board.Nervous system regulation is the missing link between your goals and your ability to receive the outcome of your achievement. If you're trying to hustle your way into a vision that your body doesn't feel safe holding, you'll burn out or sabotage. This is why Master Coach Training is such a powerful process for you as a coach, and for the clients you serve. The nervous system equates "familiar" with "safe"–even if that means staying stuck instead of moving forward. Today, we'll look at what nervous system regulation truly looks like so you can break this pattern, and I'll offer you several coaching tools and strategies that will help you and your clients expand your capacity to receive from a place of safety. The vision you have for your life and business is powerful, but it can't just be about setting goals. You can want something sincerely, but without nervous system regulation, you will stay stuck. When you have the holistic coaching tools to build safety and open yourself up to receive, real transformation and lasting change are possible—for you and your clients. What you'll learn:Why true nervous system regulation focuses on helping your body get used to something different Common signs that your nervous system does not feel safe receiving–and what to do about themPractical coaching tools to create safety in the nervous system: somatic anchoring, tapping, and microdosing changeHow to bridge the gap between your vision and the safety you need to achieve itJournal prompts to uncover why it feels unsafe to get what you wantYou can read the full show notes here.Connect with Molly ClaireMolly's Website: MollyClaire.ComMaster Coach Training 2026 Application Open Have a question or thoughts about the podcast?

A Gluten Free Podcast Episode 184 In this episode of A Gluten Free Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Andrew Williams, Principal Scientist at Westmead Children's Hospital in Sydney, Australia. Dr. Williams has spent decades researching coeliac disease and the complex immunological processes behind it. We explore how coeliac disease research has evolved, what still needs to change, and how early diagnosis in children could significantly improve health outcomes across Australia and globally.We dive into the inspiration behind Dr. Williams' career in immunological research, his earliest experiences working with children diagnosed with coeliac disease, and what initially drew his attention to this autoimmune condition. With so many people still undiagnosed, we talk about how Australia compares to other countries like Italy, where screening children for coeliac disease and Type 1 diabetes is already underway.We also discuss promising innovations like the Novoleukin blood test—a tool being developed to detect coeliac disease even in people who are already on a gluten-free diet. This episode offers a hopeful and practical look into how coeliac disease awareness, testing methods, and healthcare systems could shift for the better—if we focus our efforts in the right places.What We Cover:How Dr. Andrew Williams became involved in coeliac disease researchWhat we knew (and didn't know) about coeliac disease when he began his careerMajor milestones in coeliac disease research over the past few decadesReal-life stories from the clinic that shaped his perspectiveThe critical need for early diagnosis in children with coeliac diseaseWhy so many Australians remain undiagnosed and what needs to changeHow other countries like Italy are taking proactive steps to improve coeliac screeningThe future of coeliac disease testing, including the upcoming Novoleukin diagnostic toolWhat parents of children with coeliac disease need to knowHow one powerful conversation reminded him why this work matters

Hvordan kan vi redde planeten, når et stort flertal ikke ændrer adfærd i en mere bæredygtig retning? Går du selv forrest, men oplever du, at det er vanskeligt at have en samtale om den bæredygtige fremtid med mennesker, der ikke har samme værdier? Sociale tippepunkter kan være svaret på at skabe mere folkelig opbakning til den grønne omstilling og konkret handling. Globalt såvel som i den enkelte virksomhed. Med til at forklare begrebet er en tilbagevendende gæst i Bæredygtig Business, nemlig direktør i den erhvervsdrivende fond DemocracyX, Rune Baastrup. Sociale tippepunkter er det der sker, når små forandringer i et system fører til store markante, pludselige og nogle gange uafvendelige transformationer. Et eksempel er små ændringer i kulturelle og sociale normer og modige politikere, der indførte rygeloven. Det førte til at rygning er gået fra at være socialt acceptabelt til mange steder at være socialt uacceptabelt. Lige nu er vi et lignende sted, hvor det mange steder er normen ikke at værdsætte naturen og miljøet i praksis, og hvor samtalen om, at vi skal ændre vores vaner, kan være enormt svær. Så hvordan får vi det tavse flertal eller måske især skeptikerne til at ændre vaner og holdninger? Du kan høre om: • Hvordan vi skal ændre folks holdninger uden at trække det ned over hovedet på dem • At store forandringer kræver, at folk aktivt er med til selv at forme, hvordan det skal være – ellers går de imod • Positive feedbackloops med elbiler som eksempel • Deltagereffekten • Politikeres nøgleroller • Analysen (link herunder) der inddeler mennesker i seks forskellige værdisegmenter: tillidsfulde omstillere, retfærdighedssøgende praktikere, fortrøstningsfulde pragmatikere, ligefremme individualister, tryghedssøgende traditionalister og bekymrede vogtere Nævnt i episoden: • Damon Centolas bog ”Change: How to Make Big Things Happen”: https://www.damoncentola.com/ • Analysen ”Danskernes grundværdier og potentialer for engagement i den grønne omstilling”: https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/63b2bf67af01937e1e83d35f/6401cd39608c6f087d6ccc77_DDK-Electica_Klima-segment-analyse_maj22-digital.pdf • Democracy X rapport om tippepunkter i danskernes madvaner: https://www.democracyx.dk/#udgivelser • Global Tipping Points rapport og konference: https://global-tipping-points.org/ • Hvidbog og forbrugsvaner og tippepunkter som også gennemgår segmenterne, udgivet med concito: https://www.klimahandledag.dk/hvidbogen • Tim Lentons korte TEDx video om tippepunkter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGV_173cJmA • Den første episode af Bæredygtig Business, hvor Rune Baastrup var med som gæst: https://sustainbusiness.dk/efter-festen-med-rune-baastrup/ • Rune Baastrup på LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/runebaastrup/ Tips, idéer eller ønsker?

Most leaders approach organizational change by trying to manage individual behaviours and mindsets. But what if this fundamental approach is exactly why so many transformation efforts fail? In this episode of “Leadership Biz Cafe”, Siobhan McHale, author of "The Hive Mind At Work," reveals why successful change happens when leaders tap into group intelligence rather than controlling individual responses. Drawing insights from how bee hives operate, she introduces her revolutionary Hive LENS framework, a four-step process that helps leaders work with natural group dynamics instead of against them. What You'll Learn:Why conventional change management approaches lead to failed outcomesHow to identify hidden patterns that actually drive organizational behaviourThe three critical mistakes leaders make that bees never doWhy "nudging" beats creating urgency when driving changeHow to prevent teams from reverting to old ways of working Whether you're leading a major transformation or struggling with resistance to change, this conversation will completely shift how you think about facilitating organizational change.

In this powerful episode, humanitarian photographer Ryan Carter takes us behind the lens of his work in conflict zones like Congo and Ukraine. Ryan shares how he captures stories of resilience, hope, and humanity amid crisis with raw honesty and deep empathy.From sitting with families who've lost everything to highlighting the strength of communities still standing, Ryan reveals the power of visual storytelling to move hearts, drive change, and keep vital humanitarian missions alive.

My work has taken me to war zones, refugee camps, remote villages, and bustling cities - places where survival isn't a given and resilience isn't a choice. I've sat with people who've lost everything and somehow still find a reason to laugh, to fight, to keep going. Those are the stories that deeply matter to me.But here's the thing - NGOs and humanitarian groups are out there every day, doing the hard work, changing lives. And yet, without the right stories, without a way to show the world what they do, they struggle. Funding dries up. Support fades. And the work stops. That's where I have found my place. I help organizations turn their impact into something people can see, feel, and connect with - because stories aren't just stories. They're lifelines. They keep the mission alive. They make people care. And sometimes, they even change the world.~ Ryan Carter Links ~Website: https://www.ryancarterimages.com/ LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/ryancarterimages Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ryancarterimages/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ryancarterimages ~ About GoodViral ~We believe that people can, and want to, do more to help others.

Today, we're catching up with my friend, and friend of the podcast, Flint Del Sol.Last time Flint was here, his life looked very different than it does today. He was mid-transition, using they/them pronouns, had just started testosterone, and was still teaching. Since then, he's come out, transitioned in public on his social media profiles, survived doxxings, and received bomb threats at the school where he taught.It's been a lot.He chose to leave teaching and move to the desert with his husband for a while, and they've just recently sold their belongings and moved into an airstream with a plan to travel around the country to meet other trans people and gather stories and information to capture the trans experience in the US at this especially challenging and frightening time. And somehow in all of that, Flint also wrote a book called Teach Like an Ally that comes out on July 29, 2025. This book was written for educators who are struggling in environments where they can't openly state their allyship, can't fly rainbow flags, or can't teach or even have queer books in their classrooms. Even if you're not a teacher, this book will help you be a better ally to the queer kids in your life.Every time I talk to Flint, the conversation tends to go off in a million different directions, but it always ends up someplace super nerdy, and someplace deeply emotional. This one is no different. I hope you leave feeling as inspired and ready to do better work as I did.Check out the full episode to hear about:How having survived blowing up his own life before has shaped Flint's relationship to changeHow genuine curiosity and judgment get confused in ourselves and othersWhy it's totally normal to be at reduced capacity right now, and some ideas to help sustain youWhy even in an unfair, unjust world, it's worth continuing to fight for justiceHow deadlines, outlines, and leaning into his unique voice got Flint to the final draftWhy kids need access to an understanding of queer existence that is not fueled by negativity and hateHow making art is an essential part of how Flint processes events and feelingsFind out more about Flint Del Sol:Instagram: @justflintisfineTikTok: @justflintisfineTeach Like an Ally: An Educator's Guide to Nurturing LGBTQ+ StudentsFind out more about Mackenzie Dunham:Wildheartsociety.orgwildheartsociety.org/downloadsWild Heart Society on FacebookWild Heart Society on InstagramResources:Register for CampDonate to the Queer Community NetworkWild Heart Society MerchSeason 04 Ep 03: Fear vs. Curiosity: Being Alive and Trans with Flint, Just Flint Part 1Season 04 Ep 04: Fear vs. Curiosity: Being Alive and Trans with Flint, Just Flint Part 2"Untitled" (Portrait of Ross in L.A.), Félix González-TorresThe Smithsonian's queer erasure of an AIDS artwork should alarm us allGood Bones, Maggie Smith
