Podcasts about connecting people

In this episode of Hort Culture, the hosts sit down with Dr. Eli Sagor, Extension Forestry Specialist and Program Leader for Natural Resources at the University of Minnesota, to discuss forestry, forest management, and the evolving role of Extension education. Dr. Sagor shares how he works with forestry professionals across Minnesota to address real-world challenges through collaborative learning and peer-to-peer knowledge exchange. The conversation explores the impacts of climate change on forest ecosystems, including shifting tree species ranges, invasive pests, and efforts to create climate-resilient woodlands. The group also discusses Minnesota's unique forest landscapes, favorite tree species, and the importance of stewardship in maintaining healthy forests for future generations. Throughout the episode, the hosts and Dr. Sagor reflect on how Extension has evolved from simply providing information to helping people interpret and apply knowledge in an age of information overload, emphasizing the value of trust, conversation, and authentic human connections in education and outreach.Eli SagorGreat Lakes Silviculture LibraryCloquet Forestry CenterUniversity of Minnesota Extension Natural ResourcesSustainable Forests Education CooperativeMinnesota Master Naturalist ProgramUniversity of Kentucky Department of Forestry and Natural ResourcesKentucky Division of ForestryQuestions/Comments/Feedback/Suggestions for Topics: hortculturepodcast@gmail.comCheck us out on Instagram!

Jay sits down with trailblazing entrepreneur and investor Anjula Acharia to explore what it really takes to turn pain into purpose. Anjula opens up about her early experiences with bullying and feeling like she never quite fit in, and how those moments ended up shaping her rather than breaking her. Growing up between different worlds, Anjula unknowingly developed the superpower that would define her career: the ability to see what others miss and connect things that seem completely separate. What once felt like isolation became intuition, and what once felt like rejection became a powerful redirection toward a life of impact and influence. Together, Jay and Anjula explore the side of success we rarely see. Beyond the headlines of billion-dollar brands and global icons is a journey shaped by failure, self-doubt, and constant reinvention. Anjula opens up about a time when she lost everything at once, her business, her marriage, and her sense of identity, and how hitting rock bottom became a turning point rather than an ending. She shares that success is not about having a clear plan, but about trusting your instincts, listening closely, and having the courage to grow. Anjula’s story is a powerful reminder that the moments that feel like everything is falling apart are often the ones quietly setting us up for something greater. In this episode you'll learn: How to Turn Rejection Into Your Greatest Advantage How to Build Confidence When You Don’t Fit In How to Network Even When You Have Nothing to Offer How to Become a Connector People Value How to Pitch Ideas That Actually Get Attention How to Attract Mentors Without Asking Directly How to Trust Your Instincts in Uncertain Moments How to Reinvent Yourself After Hitting Rock Bottom You don’t need to have everything figured out to move forward, you just need the willingness to keep going, especially when things don’t make sense yet.

Send us a textWhat if philanthropy wasn't about wealth at all, but about love made practical? I sit down with my friend Rena Olsen—storyteller, nonprofit pro, and founder of Uncommon Philanthropist—to explore how ordinary people can spark extraordinary impact through simple, repeatable acts of service and smarter giving. Rena shares her winding path from broadcast journalism to agency work to faith-led nonprofit roles, and how a season serving in a village at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro shifted her vision. The result is a movement built on everyday generosity, where small gifts and shared stories can change a neighborhood.We dig into the power of giving circles and why pooling modest annual contributions can become a meaningful grant and a tight-knit community. Rena explains how to build a practical generosity plan—deciding what you will give, where you will serve, and who nearby needs steady support.Rena shares the story behind her book, Maxine's Joy, a children's book honoring her mother's life and raising funds for Alzheimer's causes. It's a tender guide for families navigating dementia and a living example of turning grief into service. Pick up your copy of Maxine's Joy here.Listen to my conversation with Dr. Sal Alaimo about philanthropy here.For a limited time only, Powerful Evidence, our course on evaluation for non-evaluators is on sale for $99 through the end of the year! Get it here.Guest BioRena Olsen is the founder and creator of Uncommon Philanthropist.  The UP platform is a culmination of her calling to generate significant funding and awareness for important causes while utilizing her skills as a storyteller, connector, creative, inspirer and nonprofit consultant to get it done.Rena believes in the transformative power of serving others, which benefits both the giver and receiver of the gift.  She also believes that philanthropy, defined as “love of humanity,” is something we are all called to do…to love and serve one another.  Rena challenges us to be informed, encouraged and to engage in charitable works and giving.  More nonprofits needed new ways to share their stories and engage with donors and volunteers. Before UP, Rena spent her professional years working in marketing communications, crafting campaigns, messaging and events for both for-profit and nonprofit organizations. Like what you heard?

QFF: Quick Fire Friday – Your 20-Minute Growth Powerhouse! Welcome to Quick Fire Friday, the Grow A Small Business podcast series that is designed to deliver simple, focused and actionable insights and key takeaways in less than 20 minutes a week. Every Friday, we bring you business owners and experts who share their top strategies for growing yourself, your team and your small business. Get ready for a dose of inspiration, one action you can implement and quotable quotes that will stick with you long after the episode ends! In this episode of Quick Fire Friday, host Rob Cameron interviews Sarah Williams from Leading Culture Limited shares how improving workplace culture can dramatically lift business performance, explaining how communication gaps and unclear direction create major problems inside teams. She outlines her diagnostic approach to uncover culture issues, backed by a real case study where clarity and engagement led to higher productivity and lower staff turnover. The conversation highlights how business owners often underestimate the financial impact of team morale, showing that people and numbers are directly connected in driving meaningful growth. Key Takeaways for Small Business Owners: Strong culture boosts performance – when communication and expectations are clear, productivity rises and problems shrink. People drive the numbers – financial results are a reflection of how well teams are supported, aligned, and motivated. Communication is almost always the core issue – when facts are missing, myths and harmful assumptions fill the gap. Our hero crafts outstanding reviews following the experience of listening to our special guests. Are you the one we've been waiting for? Small and midsize companies can change faster – they are more agile and can act on advice without slow bureaucracy. Diagnosing the problem comes first – interviews, observations, and listening reveal what's actually happening inside the culture. Fixing culture saves real money – reducing turnover, improving engagement, and aligning goals can deliver huge financial returns. One action small business owners can take: According to Sarah Williams, one action small business owners can take is to communicate more clearly and more often, making sure every team member understands the direction of the business, what's expected of them, and how their role contributes to the bigger goals.
