Sales and marketing alignment may sound straightforward, but it's often reduced to process charts and dashboards, rather than focusing on the people doing the work. In this episode, Lia Davidson, CMO at EAB, joins Adam and Saima for a refreshingly honest conversation about what real alignment looks like inside complex organizations. She shares how building trust with sales didn't come from structure or incentives, but from solving problems together and staying radically candid. Lia also unpacks the moment she realized marketing needed to stop celebrating metrics that didn't match sales outcomes—and how shifting to shared KPIs changed everything. Plus, why personality tests, casual hangs, and a simple phone call can outperform strategy offsites. In this episode, you'll learn:Why marketers should rethink their funnel language to reflect real sales impactHow to lead with empathy when functional teams aren't getting along What happens when marketing and sales review pipeline togetherHow to create team alignment without reporting lines or reorgsJump into the conversation: (00:00) Introducing Lia Davidson and sales-marketing alignment (02:47) The human side of misalignment and why process alone doesn't fix it (04:38) How Lia's early sales experience shaped her approach as a CMO (06:44) A people problem disguised as a pipeline problem (08:15) The offsite that solved misalignment without touching strategy (10:19) Why marketing can't claim green if sales is red (12:52) How Lia celebrates marketing wins while staying tied to revenue (14:32) Building one team without a shared reporting structure (18:59) Why “one funnel mentality” is more than just a slogan

Emerald Ash Borer and Riparian Forests

In the inaugural episode of Restoration Roundup, we speak with Patrick Engelken, an entomologist with the U.S. Forest Service in St. Paul, Minnesota. While working to get his graduate degree at Michigan State University, Engelken studied the effects of Emerald Ash Borer (“EAB,” scientific name: Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire in the family Buprestidae) on riparian forests. Although EAB was first discovered in Michigan in 2002, the insects were not introduced to Vermont until 2018. EAB is an invasive species native to northeastern Asia that feeds on all kinds of ash species. Ash trees provide an important service to ecosystems as a key species in riparian forests. In these ecosystems, their roots help filter out pollutants and sediments; ash trees also help regulate nutrient distribution and cycling, leaf litter deposits, and forest floor temperature. In this episode, Engelken walks us through how EAB is detrimental to ash health, as the insects attack in the phloem layer of the tree. Phloem is a thin layer of cells that transport food around the tree to parts that need it. EAB eats at that thin layer, restricting nutrients from getting to all parts of the tree, and ultimately causing the tree to die. Because of the role ash trees play in riparian ecosystems in this region, the emergence of EAB in Vermont in 2018 poses a threat not only to ash tree health, but also to efforts to promote cleaner water and wildlife habitat for a healthier Vermont.

Jackie Hayden and Dede Terns-Thorpe are back with part 3 of our retrospective series about Pests and Pathogens. In this episode of Nature Calls: Conversations from the Hudson Valley, you'll hear about some common issues New York gardeners face such as rust fungus, squash vine borer, fruit flies and the emerald ash borer (EAB). We'll start with a category of blisters, galls, and spots on leaves and trees that are caused by a rust fungus. Humid, warm weather creates an excellent environment for many plant pathogens grow. Rust fungi are among the most common pathogens.While most rust fungi will not kill their host plants, they can weaken them to the point of not being functional in the landscape anymore. Learn more as Master Gardeners, Dede and Jackie, delve into this category of pathogen. If you care about preserving the environment, stay tuned as Jackie and Dede discuss the emerald ash borer, an invasive species that has caused significant damage to the ash tree population in North America, including New York State. They cover everything from the beetle's life cycle to the measures being taken to prevent further spread. Next is a segment on a popular pest of zucchini and other members of the cucurbit family: the dreaded Squash Vine Borer. As one of the earliest insects to show up in the garden as a moth, it can wreak havoc if not caught early. Learn some tips and tricks to help avoid and manage problems. Lastly, how can you tell if you have fruit flies or fungus gnats flying around your home? No, they are not the same things.Both are tiny but fruit flies are larger than gnats. If they are flying around your house plants, they are probably fungus gnats. Dede and Jacki help you tell the difference between them and also provide suggestions on how to get rid of them. So this episode has a little bit of something about both pests and pathogens. By listening in, you will be armed with lots of information about how to deal with them.
