Our third and final interview with Fred Provenza unfolds like a symphony in four parts, each movement resonating with deep reflections on human connection, nature, and the inner workings of the mind. With a cadence that mirrors the unfolding of a well-composed piece, Fred takes us through a journey of shifting perspectives and shifting lives, inviting us to hear the music of the earth as it teaches us to reconnect, simplify, and grow. Like the slow movement of a piece, the interview reflects the wisdom of experience, with Fred sharing lessons learned through years of work, struggle, and discovery. Together, these four movements create a harmony of ideas that echo the timeless truths of our relationship with the world around us.Movement 1: Fred Provenza on the Role of Mindsets in Shaping Our Relationship with NatureFred explores how mindsets, shaped by polarized perspectives, can be transformed through respectful dialogue and open-mindedness. Reflecting on his experience as a teacher, he recalls how he helped students transcend the boundaries of their differing views, fostering a deeper understanding of the complex issues surrounding livestock, rangelands, and the land itself.Movement 2: Fred Provenza on Stories that Connect and Inspire ChangeFred delves into the power of stories in creating connections and inspiring transformation. He emphasizes how the act of nurturing relationships with the land can foster a sense of community, grounding individuals in something larger than themselves, while also illustrating how personal experiences—like the shared beauty of a native garden—can bring people together in mutual appreciation.Movement 3: Fred Provenza on the Purpose of His Work and Bringing JoyReflecting on his legacy, Fred speaks candidly about his life's work and its true purpose: to inspire joy and awe in others. He highlights how reconnecting with a sense of wonder, especially after facing life's challenges, can bring peace and meaning. Fred reveals his desire not for grand accomplishments, but for helping people rediscover the joy of being alive.Movement 4: Fred Provenza on the Wisdom of Letting Nature Self-OrganizeIn response to the quotes from John Kenneth Galbraith and Charles Massey, Fred offers profound insights into the wisdom of stepping back as we grow older. He discusses the gift of reduced energy levels and how this shift allows us to embrace a simpler, more hands-off approach to life—allowing nature to regenerate on its own. Reflecting on the importance of humility and learning, Fred advocates for changing mindsets and simplifying life to connect with what truly matters.As you listen to the final movement of this symphonic conversation with Fred Provenza, we encourage you to stay with us until the end. Sometimes, it's not the facts and figures that resonate the most, but the deeper, intuitive understandings that unfold as we reflect, shift, and grow. Fred's insights challenge us to reconsider the way we approach life, nature, and even our own existence—asking us to embrace the wisdom of simplicity, connection, and change. Stay with us to the end, because the most important lessons aren't always found in what we know, but in how we come to understand it.

Did you know that with regenerative agriculture, instead of 500 years, we can grow soil one or two inches and a half centimetres in three to five years? Regenerative Agriculture is a theme we explore on the podcast recently. This week was an opportunity to reconnect with Christos. His ideas are quite fascinating, and I admire how he incorporates natural materials and takes a holistic approach to it. Join me as we review the 5 cycles of regenerative agriculture by Charles Massey, the difference between set stocking and regenerative agriculture, and so much more. --- You can also watch this episode at https://drronehrlich.com/ ----- TIME TO TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR HEALTH?

webstix.com tony Herman wellbuiltsupplements.com Wellbuilttda 15% off Revolution4Fathers.com October 30th Clueless couples in Covid Dependent, independent or Codependent? Which is right, wrong are there differences to a healthy marriage? DO YOU KNOW HOW TO BEST FIX YOUR MARRIAGE OR MAKE IT BETTER? It's not what you think. You must first make yourself better… but how? Come find out! Billy Graham is our generations greatest evangelist. He preached to millions and who knows how many came to Christ through his ministry. I have always thought it somewhat puzzling that this Godly man was asked to meet with Presidents (some who were not so Godly) with Athletic superstars, Rock Stars, movie stars… and they all loved him. He would preach to a stadium of thousands… But what always blew me away was that is preaching was just ok… There I said it. he was not a captivating riveting speaker by any means. In fact I found him quite simple, sometimes… here I go… Boring. But he always had results. But he was just like you and me in more ways than you might think… As a senior in high school, a young Billy Graham found himself in a dark classroom with a girl who begged Graham to make love to her. Instead of rounding the bases, Graham made like Joseph and ran away. In 1937 Billy Graham fell in love with Emily Cavanaugh and proposed to her in the summer. She had to think about it and eventually said yes in the fall. But by 1938 she was having second thoughts and in the spring she dumped Billy Graham for one of his classmates, Charles Massey. Graham gave a Ted Talk in 1998 Graham once went skinny-dipping with President Lyndon Johnson. The first time Billy Graham shared his testimony was with a group of about 10 prisoners. The experience “reinforced my conviction that I would never become a preacher.” Billy Graham attended Bob Jones University for one semester and upon leaving, Bob Jones Sr. predicted nothing but failure for Billy Graham. Graham's first formal sermon lasted eight minutes and included all four sermons he had prepared. In the 1970s Billy attended various rock festivals, protests, and love-ins in order to better understand and connect with young people. To maintain anonymity, he attended “incognito” (meaning he donned a hat, sunglasses, and a big sweater). Billy Graham was one of the few Americans who could get mail simply addressed, “Billy Graham, America.” But what made him stand out… it wasn't because of his speaking or preaching ability. 2 major things… First: His integrity and character was impeccable. That is why even the secular world had such great respect for him. But mostly… He stands out for the same reason you can stand out as well. Preach the gospel. Jesus Christ the son of God died for your sins. He is the only way to have a relationship with God the Father. You must accept his forgiveness and give your life to him. You don't need to belabor the point with people.

Over the long weekend I watched two shows of TV one was Australian Story where they focused on the Monaro farmer Charles Massey and his journey to regenerative agriculture and the was Kiss The Ground on Netflix which looked mainly at farming in the USA and what makes sustainable and regenerative agriculture. This is my reply to those shows, what makes a sustainable farmer? and is that different to a regenerative farmer? In my opinion 99% of Australian farmers run zero till direct drill cropping systems and rotate or cell graze their stock, do these practices make us regenerative farmers, sustainable farmers or just flat pack stock standard regular farmers? Some points I thought were valid, some were antagonistic but for the most part I thought we doing these things already. Have a listen and let me know your thoughts
Dr. Charles Massey is a farmer, a well published author, highly respected academic and speaker on Regenerative Farming. In this episode, Charles shares with us his journey as a farmer who transitioned from conventional farming to regenerative farming. He tells us about how the "Mechanical Mindset" of industrial farming has destroyed 40% of land that has the potential to be used as crop, and how Regenerative Farming has the ability to bury large amounts of carbon into the soil, to reverse the effects of global warming. We chat about the importance of healthy soil and a healthy soil microbiome, and in particular top soil. Charles teaches us how fertilizer, herbicides, pesticides and other harmful chemicals were first introduced to farming, and we chat about the harmful effects of Round Up and Glyphosate on the land and our health. Charles shares with us the concept of the "Emergent Mind", what he believes is essential is shifting the paradigm on the way we farm, eat and connect with nature. He also shares with us what we can do individually to support the regenerative farming movement, and to start moving towards a more sustainable future.

I had been on the fence about it and I just went with it and it's open for everyone. We're not all professionals so to speak. So I just went in and just did the best that I could.In this podcast, Deneen White is in conversation with Charles Massey, an artist from New York City. He talks about how he found VIP exactly at the time when he was looking for opportunities to enhance his acting career. He is a part of VIP Elite Talent Academy, and he further shares his experience of working with Robert Galinsky on a podcast. He talks about how he was reluctant to participate in the variety hour, but he took the opportunity and loved the powerful experience. According to him, sometimes you just have to expect the unexpected, come with an open mind and must be willing to put in the work.Summary:Charles Massey was looking for opportunities in acting when he came across the VIP Elite Academy.The Academy helps keep his mind going, thinking with different challenges each day and gave him an opportunity to go through a lot of coaching.He believes that a person should be open-minded when it comes to opportunities as there is always an option of saying yes or no.CHECK OUT OUR FREE INFORMATIONAL WEB CLASS HERE: https://ammsociety.com/webinar-registration-34135909CHECK US OUT ON FACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/vipigniteliveCHECK US OUT ON INSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/vipigniteCHECK US OUT ON TWITTER:https://www.twitter.com/vipigniteCHECK OUT THE HOLLYWOOD MINDSET WEBSITE HERE:https://www.hollywoodmindset.comCHECK OUT THE COFFEE IN THE GREEN ROOM PODCAST HERE:https://www.coffeeinthegreenroom.comCHECK OUT THE VIP IGNITE LIVE PODCAST HERE:https://www.vipignitelivepodcast.comCHECK OUT WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING HERE:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLzqEyOGiBnMwTyocXsmB8oyki-Sz22zT

In this episode we start by exploring the reasons that led Simon and Fiona to move from a conventional dairy operation into regenerative and organic dairy farming.When quizzed on who or what resources Simon has been using, he references David Hardwick, an agroecologist who can be located at Soil Land Food , Dick Richardson of Grazing Naturally as well as Charles Massey, author of Call of the Reed Warbler and well known Regenerative Agriculturist. Simon also reference his local Landcare group. Landcare groups exist around Australia, and are a great resource full of local knowledge that can benefit farmers.As the conversation progresses, its apparent that Simon too has questions about regenerative farming: part of the joy of this conversation is seeing the benefit for all when talking about different ways of doing things and the cross pollination of ideas.
Charles Massey from Ottawa joins us once again (hear his Bollywood in Barranquilla Ep215) to entertain the colombia calling podcast listeners with a Kishore Kumar bollywood song, sung live for us here in Bogota. But, while we discuss Massey's life since he moved back to Canada after his time as a teacher in Barranquilla, we get to know our interviewee a little more and are even privy to an exclusive reading of one of his poems. Reflecting on his experiences in Colombia and Barranquilla, Massey is able to share a little more about how his time here, one year ago, has changed his outlook on life and perhaps in what he is seeking from life. Tune in for a personal but fun look at one man's desire to share and understand cultures.

We typically think of value and ROI in monetary terms, but what about the social value of an investment? Or its environmental return? The field of ecological economics is built around the idea that the health of our land serves as the foundation of our economy, and we know that assigning a monetary value to ecosystem services helps us to be better stewards to these resources. So, how do we put carbon sequestration on the balance sheet? How do we build market incentives to reverse climate change at scale? And how do we talk to investors about deploying capital in ways that create real value for the landscape AND provide a healthy financial return? Ryan Anderson is the Strategy Lead with the Delta Institute, a nonprofit working to collaborate with communities to solve complex environmental challenges across the Midwest. They identify opportunities for market-based environmental solutions and then proceed to design, test and share those solutions for the social, environmental and economic benefit of their community partners. Ryan joined the team at Delta in 2007, and his role involves connecting innovative people and ideas to specific resources and places. Currently, he’s focused on reversing climate change by working with farmers to sequester carbon in the soil, creating a more inclusive and regenerative economy in the process. Today, Ryan joins Ross and Christophe to discuss the principles of ecological economics and the debate around financializing ecosystem services. He describes his work with The Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX), sharing its successes and failures and explaining what Nori can learn from his experience with the project. Listen in for Ryan’s advice to impact investors on diversifying their portfolios with farmland and learn about the Delta Institute’s recent report on valuing the ecosystem service benefits of regenerative agriculture practices.

Podcast: Play in new window | Download () | EmbedSubscribe: Android | Email | RSS | MoreAs large parts of Australia are in drought and some farmers are having to shoot their livestock for lack of feed, how can regenerative agriculture help farms become more resilient?As there is a growing demand for meat and dairy products for export to Asia, will we resist the land clearing and overstocking to protect the global climate?The BZE land use discussion paper found that great emissions reductions could be achieved if we partly reduced the national herd and the land that is constantly cleared for grazing. This show looks at family farms in eastern Australia and the million hectare agribusinesses in the north. What progress are we making? Charles MasseyCHARLES MASSEYCharles Massey’s book “Call of the reed warbler” reports on this century’s pioneers of regenerative farming. He describes the disasters that have jolted some farners out of industrialised agriculture into practices more in line with their love of nature and long term values. As Vandana Shiva said “Monoculture farming creates monocultures of the mind” Charles brings us stories of innovation and diversity. He talks about soil carbon sponges rehydrating the land, how the current drought is affecting his place in the Monaro High Plains and how glyphosate is affecting our gut health. Climate change is only one of the earth systems that has been pushed past the limit,but the thinking emerging from the farmers he meets could pull us back from the brink. Richard EckardPROFESSOR RICHARD ECKARDHe is the director of the Primary Industries Climate Challenges Centre at Melbourne University. Vivien asks whether drought assistance should be tied to new methods of farm management and whether mixed farming systems are more resilient to climate shocks. Richard describes the NT and Qld pastoral leases which cover millions of hectares and how they can survive drought.Will climate rusk averse overseas shareholders pressure the companies that run these massive ranches to reduce emissions? Can we reduce the sheer number of livestock on the land when it is so lucrative exporting into the high end market?If the National Energy Guarantee is weak on emissions reductions will farmers do the heavy lifting? The NFF says they have already taken significant steps to reduce their carbon footprint,what more can be expected ?MICHAEL TAYLORHe represents the sixth generation farming The Hill in New England. His parents are famous for their innovations in agroforestry. They had to be creative as the Great New England Eucalyptus Dieback in the 60’s denuded their place and many others. Vivien talks to Michael about how younger farmers are building up more resilience and productivity while still remaining profitable.To give you a taste of “The Call of the Reed Warbler” here is a description of the Taylor’s property by Charles Massey sitting on a hill.” Below me I could barely see open paddocks. The lazy S of contour winding tree breaks composed of mixed species seemed to merge into a forest. Mist rose off the rehydrated lower country but most impressive was a cacophony of birdsong. Flycatchers,fantails,honey eaters, wood swallows and whistlers. Truly here was a whole squadron of unpaid pest controlling, pollinating and fertilising helpers willlingly on the job.”Regeneration, restoration, reversing the mistakes of early white settlers …This is the new narrative we need to hear.Further Reading:https://www.euractiv.com/section/agriculture-food/news/five-meat-and-dairy-companies-emit-more-emissions-than-major-oil-companies-study-finds/Petition by John Graham Petersonhttps://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/turnbull-policy-guarantees-nothing-but-the-status-quo-on-power-and-climate-20180722-p4zsx1.htmlhttps://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/technology/science/silence-of-the-lambs-nsw-farmer-to-shoot-starving-flock-because-he-cant-afford-to-feed-themThe Radio Team 23rd July: Andy Britt on production, Roger Vize on podcasts and Vivien Langford -interviews 24 Jul 2018|Categories: Community Show

Climate Change for all its horrors has given Amanda a secret thrill - the idea that every molecule on this planet can be accounted for within a closed system is astonishing. But it does raise the issue of personal accountability. Amanda dives deep into her suburban past, links it all to regeneration of both the soil and the soul.Wendell Berry, Charles Massey, Energy work, new health modalities and judicious amounts of contemplative and physical work gets mulched down into some nice fertile thinking that sprouts a ridiculously positive take on it all.
Charles Massey and Bruce Pascoe discuss regenerative agriculture with Peter Harrison.
Coming up on the show, Cathleen will be talking to New York City Councilman James Sanders Jr. about the recession and the current foreclosure crisis. The show will also be welcoming author Johnny Tan. He will be discussing his latest book "From my mama's kitchen". Charles Massey from CMASS Entertainment will stop by to discuss his latest project "Dipstick Magazine". Make sure you stop by and check out the show
Charles T. Massey, Jr. was born and raised in Harlem, where he graduated through the NYC Public school system. He has come across some very influential people whom he has befriended in and out of the financial industry, opening his eyes to other ways of being "more meaningful" to the community and beyond. Looking to broaden his horizons, Charles became involved with other successful business ventures. He also tested the waters in Network Marketing a few years ago before recently finding a home with one of the fasting growing Telecommunications company in the country , 5Linx Enterprises. Helping others is essential in business or everyday life and thus my motto "Don't talk about it, Be about it" was born! Charles has been blessed to meet a lot of very talented individuals and worked directly with Benny Negro, the host of a successful WebTV show for a period of time. After a successful run there, he decided to focus solely on the other ventures already in place: planning and hosting his own events &showcases, collaborating with other Entrepreneurs on business projects, working with charities, mastering the art of Networking, and working with unsigned artists, directly with both rising Reggae sensation, Nabrigs and R&B singer Hassan Farrow. Look for big things from them in the near future along with a host of other up & coming talented artists to follow. Enter stage left, Hassan Farrow; he's 22; got the look, but far more impressive is the quality of his vocal prowess. Sultry, sexy and sizzling are his array of bluesy ballads, hip-hop, R&B and neo-soul. More than seeing him and hearing him, the listener feels him, like they did back in the eras of Marvin Gaye and Peado Bryson.
