In the more than four decades since Wisconsin’s first soy checkoff program launched, growers often wonder where, when, why and how checkoff resources are directed toward funding research, creating value-added uses and increasing market access. The Wisconsin Soybean Marketing Board (WSMB) is inviting growers from across the state to get a closer look this summer by applying to participate in WSMB’s second statewide See For Yourself (SFY) mission Aug. 12-14. The tour’s first iteration was held in August 2024 in Wisconsin and Illinois, comprising WSMB and the Wisconsin Soybean Association (WSA) leaders. This year, WSMB is inviting grower participation from beyond the board. “We welcome the opportunity to be transparent and bring in our state’s soybean producers to join us and see for themselves how the soy checkoff is driving profitability and innovation at every turn,” WSMB Executive Director Adam Kask said. The board is offering spots to eight active Wisconsin soybean farmers. The delegation will also include WSMB farmer leaders, staff and University of Wisconsin researchers, including Dr. Shawn Conley. Expenses, which include two nights lodging, meals and transportation, will be provided by WSMB. Checkoff check in The tour will begin Tuesday morning, Aug. 12 at the Arlington Research Station, where Conley and colleagues Damon Smith and Rodrigo Werle will showcase the latest advancements in checkoff research. “We work with farmers a lot,” said Conley, a WSA director. “They want to know what their checkoff dollars are being used for, so my biggest goal is showing the work and significant amount of research dollars that farmers are supporting, and how we take very seriously the opportunity given to use these monies in a good way.” Conley said he’s also excited to demonstrate the latest technologies in drone and sprayer technologies. “There’s a lot of tools we’re developing in AI that we want to show growers,” he said. “Farmers like to see the cool things we’re doing with our technologies.” The delegation will then head to an area cranberry facility before visiting Chippewa Valley Technical College for an outdoor demonstration of SoyFoam, a soy-based firefighting foam created by Wisconsin native Dave Garlie’s Cross Plains Solutions. “SoyFoam is a project our board continues to be passionate about as a value-added use that protects our first responders, and we’re seeing that momentum behind a soy-based firefighting foam spreading across the country right now,” WSMB President Jonathan Gibbs said. On Aug. 13, growers will tour Alsum Farms & Produce and later visit Crave Brothers Creamery to learn more about how dairy cows, the state’s largest consumer of soymeal, add demand to Wisconsin soybeans. Day 2 is capped by another WSMB checkoff investment, the DeLong Co.’s Agricultural Maritime Export Facility at Port Milwaukee. The terminal is estimated to increase exports through Port Milwaukee by as much as 400,000 metric tons per year. Kask, who’s toured the facility multiple times, said WSMB continues to search for new international markets for the state’s soybean farmers, who export around 60% of their commodity. “Diversifying our markets, promoting new uses and sponsoring some of the nation’s most advanced soybean research – those are all core priorities our farmers are depending on to improve their bottom line,” he said. The SFY tour will conclude Aug. 14 with a return visit to the Arlington Research Station for a plot tour. Click here to review the tentative agenda. Interested SFY applicants can click here to apply for the SFY mission by July 22. Farmer applicants approved by WSMB will be July 25. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How is The Fidelis Partnership choosing to launch into new insurance classes as it rapidly expands? The Pine Walk MGA platform has grown significantly in recent years and now writes over $900mn of business.

In this eye-opening conversation, Matt Edmundson and William Gasner challenge conventional wisdom about influencer marketing. William reveals why the democratisation of social media has shifted power away from mega-influencers to smaller content creators who often deliver better engagement and conversion rates.The episode explores how the social media landscape has fundamentally changed—from platforms prioritising follower count to now favouring quality content regardless of audience size. William shares practical advice on implementing micro-influencer strategies, avoiding common pitfalls, and building long-term influencer relationships that drive authentic engagement.I wonder if your influencer marketing approach is still stuck in the old paradigm? This episode might completely change how you allocate your marketing budget and who you choose to partner with.Time-Stamped Chapters:00:04 Introduction to the micro influencer revolution04:19 Why content quality beats follower count09:36 Spreading budget across multiple creators13:49 Passion promoters vs traditional influencers18:24 Finding influencers in your customer base22:54 Building long-term influencer relationships28:19 Product seeding strategies that actually work33:44 When influencer marketing isn't right for your product38:14 The surprising SEO benefits of influencer marketingGuest Expertise:William Gasner is an eCommerce veteran (since 2008) and founder of Stack Influence, a platform that helps brands connect with and scale micro-influencers. His experience includes selling various products from handmade cutting boards to teeth whitening solutions across multiple marketplaces, giving him unique insight into effective influencer strategies from both sides of the relationship.Key Takeaways:- Social media platforms now prioritise content quality over follower count, making micro-influencers often more valuable than celebrities- Diversifying your influencer budget across many smaller creators yields better results than investing everything in one big name- Your existing customers can be your best influencers—they already have the product and genuine experience with your brand- New product launches are ideal times for influencer marketing as you gain valuable feedback, visibility, and content simultaneously- For marketplace sellers (Amazon, Walmart), influencer-driven external traffic can dramatically improve product ranking algorithmsWant to know more about implementing these strategies for your business?

This week's show covers private markets, how to diversify away from the US Dollar, portfolio rebalancing for retirees, consolidating investment accounts, and more!

This episode of the Allyship in Action Podcast with Julie Kratz features Charlene Polite Corley, Nielsen's VP of Diverse Insights and Partnerships, and Stacie De Armas, Senior Vice President of Diverse Intelligence & Initiatives at Nielsen. Together we discuss the long-term value of diversity for businesses, emphasizing that engaging historically excluded consumers is crucial for growth and brand loyalty. Stacie and Charlene highlight that while people can be "trickier" than money, diversifying your workforce and your approach to consumers is as important as diversifying your financial portfolio.   Some key takeaways from this conversation: Diversity is a significant driver of business growth and ROI: Engaging with historically excluded consumer groups is essential for long-term business growth as they represent untapped markets and offer greater potential for building brand loyalty and achieving higher returns on marketing investment. Understanding nuanced cultural and consumption habits is crucial for effective marketing: A "copy-paste" approach to marketing is ineffective. Brands need to develop a deeper understanding of the media consumption habits and cultural nuances of diverse audiences to connect authentically and build lasting relationships. Data shows, for example, that Black, Hispanic, and Asian audiences spend significantly more time online. Centering diverse narratives benefits everyone and creates broader cultural impact: Focusing on representing specific communities authentically in content and advertising doesn't exclude other groups. Instead, it provides "windows" into different experiences, enriching everyone's understanding and often leading to broader cultural trends and significant financial success, as seen in sports and film.   Actionable Allyship Takeaway: Organizations and individuals should actively lean into fear and commit to an inclusive data strategy, continually seeking to understand and meet diverse consumers where they are, knowing that it's both the right thing to do and a smart business decision that drives growth and loyalty, regardless of external pressures.     Learn more about Charlene Polite Corley and Stacie De Armas and their research at:  https://www.nielsen.com/insights/2025/connecting-black-america/ https://www.nielsen.com/news-center/2025/nielsen-report-asian-american-audiences-are-reshaping-sports-digital-media-and-beauty-trends/ https://www.nielsen.com/about-us/business-inclusion-impact-belonging/hispanic/

What if the hardest part of investing isn't building a portfolio—but sticking to it? In this AMA edition of the Rational Reminder podcast, Ben Felix and Dan Bortolotti tackle listener questions ranging from sustainable retirement withdrawals to the dangers of structured products, with plenty of philosophical insights on risk, behavior, and financial planning. The episode opens with a deep dive into the 4% rule, exploring how time horizon, asset allocation, and global data can shift the definition of “safe.” They also explore the behavioral challenges of the “boring middle” of investing and why consistency may be the greatest alpha. Other standout segments include a sharp critique of bank-sold structured notes, an evidence-based takedown of trend following, and a fascinating discussion on the long-term impact of demographic shifts and index investing. Throughout, Ben and Dan blend technical insight with practical wisdom and academic research, delivering a thoughtful and entertaining conversation for both DIY investors and those working with advisors.   Key Points From This Episode: (0:01:07) What the latest data says about safe withdrawal rates, especially for early retirees with 100% equity exposure. (0:08:45) How variable vs. fixed withdrawals affect outcomes—and the trade-offs retirees must consider. (0:17:01) The behavioral risks of the “boring middle” and how automation or advice helps investors stay disciplined. (0:26:13) Reflections on market crashes—why hindsight downplays the emotional reality of volatility. (0:33:27) Commission conflicts: Why bank advisors push structured notes and the incentives behind them. (0:44:22) Education vs. malice: Are bad financial advisors untrained, conflicted, or both? (0:49:08) Are structured notes ever justified? (Spoiler: very rarely.) (0:56:44) Trend following: Legitimate strategy or fancy market timing? Examining the live track records. (1:02:52) Diversifying your life like a portfolio: Applying the PERMA model to personal growth. (1:10:18) The one use of leverage that actually makes sense—and why most others don't. (1:14:20) Will aging demographics crash ETF markets? What the data and theory suggest. (1:19:02) Why even complex macro trends don't justify deviating from a simple, low-cost investment plan.   Links From Today's Episode: Meet with PWL Capital: https://calendly.com/d/3vm-t2j-h3p Rational Reminder on iTunes — https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-rational-reminder-podcast/id1426530582.

In this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan sits down with Lon Welsh, founder of Ironton Capital and Your Castle Real Estate, to explore what it takes to transition from active to more passive and diversified real estate investing. With a background that spans flipping homes, self-managing rentals, and launching investment funds, Lon shares how his personal experience shaped the way he helps investors today. The conversation starts with Lon's early steps in real estate, living below his means, and creating a basement ADU, and expands into his evolution as a syndicator and fund manager. He explains how burnout from hands-on property management pushed him to reimagine his investing strategy, leading to the creation of Ironton Capital's fund-of-funds structure. The result is a platform designed to serve professionals who want the benefits of real estate without the headaches of daily management. Jonathan and Lon talk through how geographic and asset diversification help manage risk, what investors should look for when evaluating sponsors, and how to align financial decisions with broader life goals. Lon also shares why mindset matters just as much as metrics, and how long-term thinking leads to better outcomes. Whether you're an experienced investor or someone looking to move beyond direct ownership, this episode offers a practical take on what passive investing can actually look like when done right. In this episode, you will hear: Building early financial discipline into real estate strategy Flipping and self-management lessons that still hold value today The role of fund-of-funds structures in simplifying passive investing Diversifying across markets and asset types to reduce exposure Key sponsor traits to look for as a limited partner Matching investment choices with lifestyle and freedom goals Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Connect with James: https://vanreuselventures.com/ Connect with TJ: https://mementofinancialplanning.com/links In this conversation, T.J. van Gerven interviews James Vanreusel, founder and CEO of Vanreusel Ventures, about the multifaceted role of a CFO, the importance of financial strategy in business growth, and the behavioral aspects of finance. They discuss the significance of having an exit strategy, the necessity of understanding personal finance, and the lessons learned from tennis that apply to business resilience. James emphasizes the importance of cash flow management, investment strategies, and the balance between personal and professional life, while also addressing the social responsibilities of capitalism. The conversation concludes with advice for the next generation of entrepreneurs and the importance of prioritizing family and personal values. Takeaways CFOs are essential for financial strategy and leadership. Most founders do not start with an exit strategy. Understanding behavior around money is more important than just knowing the numbers. Building a cash cushion is crucial for business resilience. Investing in oneself is the best investment for entrepreneurs. Diversifying investments is key for financial security. Patience is vital in navigating financial markets. Surrounding oneself with experienced advisors can lead to better outcomes. Family should be prioritized over work commitments. Career success is a marathon, not a sprint.

Jianggan Li, Founder of Momentum Works speaks with Jeremy Au to unpack how the US-China trade conflict is reshaping global manufacturing, trust in international trade, and Southeast Asia's role in the crossfire. They explore why businesses are stuck in limbo, how Vietnam and Cambodia became unintended casualties, and what diversification looks like when no one trusts the rules anymore. The two dive into historical analogies, business strategy, and what Chinese multinationals might do next to weather the storm. 01:01 Tariffs surprised both sides and confused manufacturers: China and the US escalated their trade war with aggressive tariffs, leaving factories unsure whether to pause, relocate, or wait. 02:33 Vietnam and Cambodia were hit despite trying to stay neutral: US tariffs targeting Vietnam shocked businesses who had just begun shifting supply chains there, triggering rapid reassessments. 05:21 China prepared a response toolkit in advance: The central government had studied scenarios and released policies, stimulus packages, and papers to manage the impact without acting impulsively. 13:32 The bond market backlash exposed real risks: Rising interest rates from global uncertainty threaten America's ability to maintain its debt-fueled spending, raising fears across both sides. 17:52 Diversification became a necessity, not a strategy: Both Chinese exporters and Southeast Asian governments are now exploring more trade partners, not relying solely on China or the US. 24:32 New markets are opening up for cross-border trade: With the US less predictable, Chinese firms are turning to Latin America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia to grow exports and presence. 30:04 China's domestic consumption still lags behind: Without boosting local confidence and spending, China's manufacturing surplus will continue spilling into foreign markets and intensifying competition.
