Small Wineries Under Pressure: On today's AgNet News Hour, the Ag Meter hit the road for an on-location interview at Ziveli Winery, tucked between Kerman and Fresno. Host Nick Papagni spoke with John and CalebCaleb Caleb, who shared their family's rich Croatian winemaking roots, the challenges of keeping small wineries afloat, and what it takes to market wine in a rapidly changing industry. A Family Legacy in Wine John Nale explained how his grandparents immigrated from Croatia in 1928, eventually settling in the Central Valley and planting vines that would lay the foundation for generations of winemaking. Their winery today blends that family heritage with a modern vision for community, offering weddings, events, and tastings in a beautifully restored barn. “Every year we do a little project, and this is what we get,” John said, noting the pride in carrying on the tradition. Struggles Facing Small Wineries The Nales were candid about the headwinds California wineries face. Declining wine sales, high labor and equipment costs, and rising regulations have left many operations in the red. “There might be three or four wineries that are making any money,” John admitted. The family has been forced to take on off-farm jobs to make ends meet, with John warning that small wineries often need 1,000 acres and no debt to stay sustainable. Caleb added that younger consumers often see wine as intimidating, preferring seltzers, cocktails, or sugary alternatives like Stella Rosa. He emphasized the importance of educating new wine drinkers and offering sweeter, approachable wines to attract them. Wine slushies and canned wines may not appeal to traditionalists, but they're entry points for a new generation. Competing in a Global Market The interview also highlighted how imports from Italy, Chile, and Mexico are undercutting California growers. John noted it can even be cheaper to ship frozen grapes from Chile than to buy locally in Lodi. “If that's true, we have a lot of issues,” he said. High costs and strict regulations, they argue, are pushing small farmers to the brink while international competitors thrive. Despite the challenges, the Nales remain committed to keeping their family winery open. “We decided a long time ago that we're going to keep farming until we're made to put a sign up for sale,” John said.

Sales and leadership expert Peter Turley, known for his refreshingly honest, no-fluff approach to winning business. After years of witnessing average sales behaviors and predictable negotiation tactics, Peter joins us on the show to share his unique perspective on what truly sets top performers apart: positioning yourself as the authority even before a negotiation begins.  In this eye-opening episode, you'll hear Peter outline the distinct roles of strategy and tactics, reveal his powerful "quantification" approach for reframing the sales conversation, and demonstrate how inviting your buyer into the process can flip the entire negotiation dynamic in your favor. With stories, humor, and actionable advice, this episode is packed with insights that could transform your sales game! Outline of This Episode [00:00] Practical, no-nonsense sales strategies for effective results. [03:54] Being the authority puts you in a very strong negotiating position. [06:22] Using humor to move the relationship forward. [09:47] How to quantify your customer. [13:59] Leverage your customer's imagination for effective selling. Strategy vs. Tactics: Knowing What Comes First Tactics are what you do at the end, in the heat of the negotiation. Strategy is what you do before the negotiation starts, in Peter's experience. This sets the stage for a critical realization—well before conversation starts or prices are exchanged, the groundwork for negotiation success is laid. Strategy is about positioning, credibility, and how the other side perceives you as you enter the negotiation. Tactics, in contrast, are the maneuvers and phrasing used in the moment. The most successful negotiators invest early in strategic positioning, dramatically influencing their leverage once tactical discussions begin. Average, Expert, or Authority? Peter identifies three levels of professional perception: average, expert, and authority. Most salespeople operate at the “average” level, where they are easily compared on price and routinely undercut by competitors. Moving up the value chain, “experts” are those with proven knowledge, but even they are not immune to comparison. The gold standard, according to Peter, is becoming an “authority”—the definitive reference point whose insights reshape perspectives. “The experts need somebody to go to when they get stuck. The all-seeing eye. That person is called the authority”. Authorities command higher pricing not by accident, but because industry recognition, conference presence, and demonstrated originality remove them from price-based comparisons. When negotiating, authorities are rarely pressured to justify value; they become the benchmark others aspire to. Confidence, Charm, and the Power of No Peter's unique approach blends humor and boldness. Faced with a client pressing for lower pricing, he famously produced a competitor's business card and offered it as an alternative, positioning himself as above price haggling.  This approach works, he emphasizes, only because of the deep groundwork laid over the years—authority, trust, and a portfolio of results.  Confidence in your value, combined with social intelligence, diffuses price objections and reframes negotiations around value. Quantification in Sales Moving beyond qualifying questions, quantification walks the client through the tangible, mathematical impact that a product or service could have on their business. By leading the customer to calculate and imagine the results—dollars added, profits multiplied—the discussion pivots from cost to potential gain. What's remarkable is how this approach shifts the negotiation dynamic. Instead of the salesperson battling for budget, the customer is internally motivated to find extra funds, sell the solution upward, and justify the value to themselves and others. Value dwarfs cost, and the negotiation shifts to, “How can we make this happen?” The Transformational Impact of Value-Based Negotiation What Peter demonstrates is both simple and profound: negotiation success starts far before any price is discussed. By positioning yourself as an authority and leading the client to quantify what's really at stake, you turn negotiations from adversarial price haggling to value creation partnerships.  Connect with Peter Turley Peter Turley on LinkedIn  Sell Squared  Connect With Paul Watts  LinkedIn Twitter    Subscribe to SALES REINVENTED Audio Production and Show Notes by PODCAST FAST TRACK https://www.podcastfasttrack.com

How to Build a Beloved AI Product - Granola CEO Chris Pedregal

Granola is the rare AI startup that slipped into one of tech's most crowded niches — meeting notes — and still managed to become the product founders and VCs rave about. In this episode, MAD Podcast host Matt Turck sits down with Granola co-founder & CEO Chris Pedregal to unpack how a two-person team in London turned a simple “second brain” idea into Silicon Valley's favorite AI tool. Chris recounts a year in stealth onboarding users one by one, the 50 % feature-cut that unlocked simplicity, and why they refused to deploy a meeting bot or store audio even when investors said they were crazy.We go deep on the craft of building a beloved AI product: choosing meetings (not email) as the data wedge, designing calendar-triggered habit loops, and obsessing over privacy so users trust the tool enough to outsource memory. Chris opens the hood on Granola's tech stack — real-time ASR from Deepgram & Assembly, echo cancellation on-device, and dynamic routing across OpenAI, Anthropic and Google models — and explains why transcription, not LLM tokens, is the biggest cost driver today. He also reveals how internal eval tooling lets the team swap models overnight without breaking the “Granola voice.”Looking ahead, Chris shares a roadmap that moves beyond notes toward a true “tool for thought”: cross-meeting insights in seconds, dynamic documents that update themselves, and eventually an AI coach that flags blind spots in your work. Whether you're an engineer, designer, or founder figuring out your own AI strategy, this conversation is a masterclass in nailing product-market fit, trimming complexity, and future-proofing for the rapid advances still to come.

Firms that only grew with the tide find themselves struggling when growth slows.13:10 – 14:16 – Positioning as an Operational Issue: Positioning cannot be treated as surface-level messaging; it must be reflected in delivery, hiring, onboarding, and overall business design.15:13 – 17:29 – Three Levels of Differentiation: Mike outlines functional, intellectual property (frameworks, tools, methodologies), and promotional differentiation as the three vectors agencies must align.19:00 – 20:13 – The Category Dilemma: Agencies often struggle between fitting into known categories, which brings competition, or creating new ones, which increases client risk and education costs.22:23 – 24:03 – Functional vs. IP Positioning: Mike advocates anchoring to existing categories functionally while differentiating through intellectual property and go-to-market messaging.26:30 – 27:49 – Starting with Ideal Client Profile (ICP): Effective positioning begins with deeply defining the ICP beyond titles and industries, including attributes like stage, structure, and challenges.30:26 – 36:23 – The Risk Perception Matrix: Mike introduces his framework with two axes—personal vs. organizational risk and internal skepticism vs. external questioning—to explain how agencies can derisk buying decisions at every stage.Show NotesConnect with Mike via LinkedInNewsletter: Proofpoint.marketingRisk Perception MatrixLove the PodcastLeave us a review here.

What does it really take to thrive in the online business world for over a decade, without burning out or quitting? In this powerful and honest conversation, I welcome back my friend and long-time entrepreneur, Steph Gaudreau. Steph is a strength coach, certified personal trainer, sports nutritionist, host of the Fuel Your Strength Podcast, and the creator of the Strong with Steph Lifting Program. She's also a graduate of my Nourished Business Accelerator, and someone I deeply admire for her ability to evolve while staying anchored in her mission. Steph opens up about the realities of sustaining a business in an ever-changing online space, the unexpected struggles she faced (including nearly walking away after her book launch), and the pivotal mindset shifts that brought her renewed clarity, joy, and success. Whether you're brand new to business or you've been in the trenches for years, this conversation will give you the strategies, inspiration, and real talk you need to stay in the game for the long haul. Timeline Highlights [2:10] – The rare resilience it takes to survive 10+ years in online business. [4:18] – Steph's leap from high school science teacher to full-time entrepreneur.

If you're not enjoying what you're building, it's going to be really hard to stick with it." "A cupcake without frosting is boring, but frosting without the cupcake doesn't work either. You need the long-term, foundational content and the short-term, fun stuff." "You don't have to scale the way everyone else does. Build the kind of business you actually want to run."

Send us a textJane Maus' trail running journey embodies perseverance against formidable odds. After multiple extended injury layoffs that nearly ended her running career, she's emerged as one of America's premier mountain athletes. Her remarkable comeback culminated in earning a coveted spot on Team USA for the World Trail Running Championships in Canfranc, Spain this September.The conversation reveals how strategic racing propelled Jane to success at the fiercely competitive Broken Arrow 46K. Despite rolling her ankle just days before the race, she executed a flawless race plan—conservatively pacing the first lap to stay within the top ten, then maintaining steady effort while others faded. This fourth-place finish, behind only some of the sport's biggest names, secured her selection to represent her country on the global stage.Beyond race results, Jane offers refreshing perspective on injury management that resonates with runners at all levels. "I thought I was the only one consistently taking time off and working through these things," she shares, "but then talking to other runners and people on start lines—it's extremely common." This realization helped transform her approach to training, embracing quality over sheer volume.The conversation shifts to her exciting summer plans—training in Wyoming's mountainous terrain while attempting the Grand Teton FKT (Fastest Known Time). This ambitious goal, despite never having climbed the Grand before, exemplifies her thoughtful approach to progression in the sport. She's balancing high-performance racing with adventure, strategically adjusting her schedule to optimize her World Championship preparation.Her victory at the Cirque Series Snowbird race highlights another dimension of her racing prowess. Competing in her hometown against a stacked field, Jane describes the unique camaraderie she shared with fellow competitor Alexa Jornsten as they pushed each other up the brutal climb. Together they broke the "curse" of the course preview, demonstrating that mental barriers often fall when approached with the right mindset.What's your approach to balancing competitive goals with adventure?
