Why do some teams prioritize size over skill and how does that impact your athlete's success? In this comeback episode, we unpack the real-life challenges and heart shifts behind the scenes of youth sports, from making tough family decisions to navigating team politics and understanding cheer gym strategy. If you're a cheer parent, coach, or athlete wondering why your kid's always in the back row or why team sizes seem bloated, this is the conversation you didn't know you needed. Discover the real reasons why gyms build teams of 22 instead of just the 8 strongest performers and how that affects competition strategy and athlete development. Hear an emotional, honest update on why one family stepped away from all-star cheer and what life looks like on the other side.

In this week's Ag Tribes Report, Vance Crowe is joined by entrepreneur, farmer, and Iowa Corn Growers director Elliot Henderson for a fast-moving breakdown of four big stories shaping agriculture. They react to USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins' media blitz and her tightly messaged take on trade, cattle, and screw worm—praising her talent while questioning how much of it reflects independent ag thinking. They unpack California's Prop 50 and what partisan redistricting could mean for rural voices in the nation's top ag state. They also look at the viral Danish claims linking cow deaths to the mandatory Bovear methane-reducing additive and the broader US–EU cultural and monetary incentives behind climate policy. Rounding out the news, they examine NYC's push for city-run grocery stores, the economic fear driving urban support, and the parallels Elliot sees for ag if subsidies and policy continue to distort markets. Then they run the Bitcoin Land Price Report (with land softening to ~$12.5K/acre in NE Iowa) and debate Bitcoin vs. land as a store of value. In the Peter Thiel Paradox, Elliot challenges ag's reliance on transfer payments, H-2A tweaks, and policies that wall off opportunity for new entrants—arguing for reform even when beneficiaries resist. For Worthy Adversary, he respects but disputes commentator Damian Mason's stance on property tax and policy incentives, warning that today's preferential treatments risk entrenching an aristocracy over working producers. They close with how to get involved in Iowa Corn, an invite to check out Elliot's Rush Hour Ag podcast, and a reminder to rate and review the show—plus a quick note on why Vance Crowe would trade Bitcoin for land when the numbers make sense.To support the show and buy Bitcoin use the link: https://river.com/invite?r=OAB5SKTP
