Connect with Mel Connect with Coach MikkiWhat if “unlucky” is just a story we inherited, and we're free to rewrite it? We kick things off with Friday the 13th and follow the thread through Norse myths, the Last Supper, and the Knights Templar to see how fear gathers power over time. Then we flip the script with Galentine's Day, turning a date with a bad reputation into a bright spot for friendship, humor, and everyday love that doesn't wait for a calendar prompt.From there, we lose it in laughter talking about  the rituals we learned as kids, honking through tunnels, lifting our feet over railroad tracks, counting cows until a cemetery reset, still echo in how we chase luck and ward off jitters. We share the nostalgia of vintage toys and board games (yes, Operation's terrifying buzz and Monopoly debt at age 10), plus the handmade Barbie outfits that prove fashion really does come back around—hello again, shoulder pads. These memories aren't just cute; they're a map of how culture changes and how we choose what to keep.We also open up about what we're building now. Mel's crafting seasonal word search books, sketching cozy mysteries, and launching a stock photo portfolio. Mickey's fresh off a keynote on why comfort zones kill success and is racing to finish a new book before a small East Coast signing tour. Creativity becomes our counterspell to superstition: show up, make something, share it. That's how we make our own luck.If you've ever wondered why 13 feels spooky, whether numerology helps or hinders, or how a sitcom joke turned into a global celebration of women's friendship, you'll feel right at home here. Come for the folklore and stay for the heart, the laughs, and the reminder that joy lands best when it's shared. If this conversation made you smile, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review, what superstition are you still carrying? We look forward to seeing you succeed! - www.KeepOnSharing.com - Code - KOSSupport the showJoin my guests on my YouTube Channel

Managing a horse diagnosed with metabolic problems means understanding how conditions such as equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) and insulin dysregulation increase the risk of serious complications, including laminitis. Horses with metabolic problems often benefit from controlled diets low in sugars and starches, tailored to prevent spikes in blood insulin and support healthy body condition. Regular exercise and weight management should be part of a comprehensive plan because activity can help improve insulin sensitivity and supports overall metabolic health. While there's no cure for these conditions, strategic, research-based care can help improve your metabolic horse's well-being.During this podcast, two experts answer listener questions about managing horses that have metabolic problems.About the Experts: Greg Schmid, DVM, originally from Canada, moved to Ohio as a teenager, where his family trained dressage and eventing horses. He earned a Bachelor of Science in equine science from Otterbein University, in Westerville, Ohio, and a DVM from The Ohio State University, in Columbus. After graduation, Schmid completed an internship at B.W. Furlong & Associates, in Oldwick, New Jersey, and then worked with Dr. John “Doc” Steele in a hunter/jumper-focused practice covering the East Coast. He later practiced in Portland, Oregon, working with various English and Western sport horses. Schmid joined Dechra as an equine professional services veterinarian in September 2020 and now lives in Asheville, North Carolina.Caitrin Lowndes, DVM, is a research fellow at the Van Eps Laminitis and Endocrinology Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center, in Kennett Square, with a background in field practice. Her main area of research is the improved diagnosis and management of insulin dysregulation, with particular interest in how that research can be translated into clinical practice for the treatment and prevention of laminitis.

In the final episode, the pace picks up as we follow Austrian traveler Adolf Fischer on his 1898 journey through Japanese-ruled Taiwan. He heads into the dangerous hill country of central Taiwan and later gives us some memorably morose lines about gray, cholera-scarred Penghu. Fischer treks from Takao (Kaohsiung) across the southern mountains to the East Coast. Along the way, he has encounters with the Paiwan indigenous people involving fermented maize liquor and canned meat diplomacy, and yodeling. Eryk and John enjoy his often spicy opinions, sometimes agreeing (his observations on Buddhist missionaries) and at other times shaking their heads (he was so very wrong about Kaohsiung). We wrap up by looking at Fischer's ultimate verdict on Japan's colonial experiment, and what happened to him and to his remarkable museum legacy in Germany.

Eastern Scotland is usually relatively dry but so far this year it's experienced record-breaking rainfall. Aberdeen last saw sunshine on 19th of January. We hear from arable and beef farmer Jack Stevenson in his, very wet, winter wheat fields on the East Coast. He tells us some parts of Aberdeenshire have seen about a quarter of their annual rainfall in a matter of weeks during January and February.Artificial intelligence, AI, is starting to influence many aspects of everyday life. Farming is no exception, and this week we're looking at how the technology might be harnessed to help solve some tricky problems. Today: dairy cows' health and welfare. The University of Bristol vet school's farm is using AI and CCTV cameras to spot changes in behaviour among its dairy cows, to find out whether it can pick up potential issues sooner than human herd managers. The project has turned a barn into a bovine Big Brother House.Beef cows grazing with their calves are a traditional part of the landscape, particularly in upland areas of the UK. But a new report says Welsh beef suckler herd numbers have decreased by nearly 40 percent over the last two decades. The National Farmers Union in Wales, - NFU Cymru - produced the report, and it says this approach to beef farming is in need of urgent support. Presenter: Anna Hill Producer: Sarah Swadling

Wind farms are defeating the Trump administration's stop-work orders 5-0 as federal judges allow offshore construction to resume, while data centers drive consumer power bills up 30-50% across the country. Tim Montague and John Weaver cover the latest clean energy developments from RE+ Northeast, including breakthrough robotics from Luminous and the emerging DIY solar market that could deliver $20,000 home systems. Episode Highlights• Offshore Wind Legal Victories: Five federal judges have now overruled Trump administration stop-work orders on East Coast wind farms, including the latest ruling allowing Sunrise Wind construction to continue off New York. (The Guardian)• Data Center Grid Impact: Consumer power bills have risen 30-50% in some regions due to data center demand. (Environmental Law and Policy Center)• DIY Solar Market Emergence: Post-ITC market conditions are driving growth in DIY solar kits, with companies like Gigawatt offering 10kW solar plus 30kWh battery systems for around $20,000, roughly one-third the cost of traditional installer pricing. • Chinese Poly Silicon Tariffs: China extended import tariffs on US polysilicon from the Obama era, though the 50% tariffs have minimal current impact since Chinese polysilicon now costs less than half global pricing.

Nonfat prices have moved sharply higher in recent weeks. But the rally isn’t being driven by a sudden surge in demand. It’s being driven by a breakdown in where milk is actually flowing. In this episode of The Milk Check, Ted Jacoby III and the Jacoby team unpack insights coming out of the IDFA Dairy Forum in Palm Springs and explain why nonfat prices have surged nearly 25 cents in just weeks, even as milk production remains strong. The issue isn’t price resistance. It’s availability. Milk that the market expected to move into dryers is instead being diverted into cheese plants, ultra-filtration, whey proteins and other higher-value protein streams. As a result, powder supply is far tighter than headline production numbers suggest. Layer in heavy short positioning, processing disruptions, and new offtake agreements, and the market begins to resemble a classic short squeeze. In this conversation, the team breaks down what’s actually driving NDFM and why higher prices haven’t unlocked new supply. We cover: How protein economics are pulling milk away from powder Why rising milk production hasn’t translated into greater availability Key structural differences between the U.S., Europe, and New Zealand Where the market may find its next equilibrium, and what could disrupt it If you’re relying on historical assumptions about nonfat availability, this episode explains why those assumptions may no longer hold. Listen to The Milk Check to understand what the evolving nonfat landscape means for pricing risk, exports and coverage decisions ahead. Available below or on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Podcasts or YouTube. Got questions? We'd love to hear them. Submit below, and we might answer it on the show. Ask The Milk Check Jacob Menge: [00:00:00] There are just so many of these long-held assumptions, things that people who have been in the industry a while probably have, like, “Well, my gut tells me this.” Question your gut. Ted Jacoby III: Welcome to the Milk Check from T.C. Jacoby and Company, your complete guide to dairy markets, from the milking parlor to the supermarket shelf. I’m Ted Jacoby. Let’s dive in. It is January 30th. We’ve all just got back from the Dairy Forum in Palm Springs, where it was a hell of a lot warmer than it is here in frigid St. Louis, Missouri. Joining me today is Diego Carvallo, the head of our international sales team and our head non -fat dry milk trader. We have Josh White, head of our dairy ingredients group, Jacob Menge, our VP of risk Management and Trading Strategy, and Mike Brown, VP of Jacoby Dairy Market Intelligence. Guys, welcome. What did we learn in Palm Springs? I think the biggest thing that came out of our visit and running into everybody at the Dairy Forum is that nonfat dry milk and skim milk powder really is tight. We have a short squeeze going on in the nonfat dry milk [00:01:00] market. The market is up. I think it’s 25 cents in the last three weeks. I’ll let Diego explain to everybody what’s really going on in the nonfat market right now. Diego? Diego Carvallo: Ted, that’s a very loaded question right now. Everybody’s scratching their heads. As of right now, today, Friday the 30th, the market just closed. The whole strip is limit up — 4 cents up. I think I hadn’t seen this in quite some time. IDFA was very interesting for a lot of people to discover why the spot market has been tight for this long and have good discussions on what the outlook looks like. Let’s start with the fundamentals. I think a few things are helping this market and supporting it and pushing it higher. The first one is what a lot of people are discussing, which is the amount of UF being produced in regions like the Midwest. We all know that many of the plants have installed new capacity to have UF sales, and those solids are in great demand [00:02:00] for cheese fortification right now. So that’s one of the reasons why the Midwest especially feeling this tight. Another reason is that the majority of the people who speculate with this market, and it goes from traders to manufacturers and even distributors, most of them have been short, expecting this market to move lower during the spring flush. I remember a few months ago, the speculation was that we were gonna break the $1. And, it seems like everybody got short, physical and in the screen, and that market, obviously, whenever we saw a bounce, everybody ran to cover their shorts, right? Another reason is that we saw a few interruptions in processing capacity, especially in California during the months of November. I think that also contributed to the tightness in the market without even getting into the conversation of new [00:03:00] offtake agreements that have taken up this year. So I think those are the main contributors to this market moving higher, and I think it’s something that is mainly affecting the U.S. The rest of the market is following through. I think this scenario is very different when you talk about European and New Zealand production. It’s even different when you see the U.S., the West Coast versus the rest of the country. Ted Jacoby III: Tell me about Europe. I know Europe started acting tight a little bit before the U.S., but what’s going on in Europe? Nonfat, dry milk and skim milk powder is probably our most global market when it comes to dairy. Diego Carvallo: So, Europe had a couple of large tenders that took place, I think that was beginning of January. So, the infamous O’Neill tender and a few similar tenders that usually move a lot of product. Those tenders took place, and I think it helped clear some of the excess product that was available in the market. But I think in Europe we had a similar situation where most of the traders, most [00:04:00] of the end users and manufacturers, everybody was expecting prices to move lower, right? Whenever we saw these tenders coming and the market slightly turned less bearish, I think everybody ran also to cover their shorts. But the situation in Europe has not been as bullish as it has in the U.S. The spread between the U.S. and Europe when it comes to skim has in fact widened as of right now. Europe is also feeling the support. Definitely. It’s in part driven by the U.S. rally. Ted Jacoby III: Well, that makes sense. I can tell you I had conversations with a few different manufacturers while I was at IDFA. And the best way I can sum up what the feeling was there’s a couple of dryers on the East Coast. Those dryers at this point are not expecting to ever run full this year, not even at the height of the flush, because there’s three new plants at various stages of development. There’s a new cheese plant in New York. There is a Fair Life milk plant in New York, and then ultimately a yogurt plant in New [00:05:00] York. All three of those plants are gonna need the milk. It’s gonna come at the expense of the powder plants in that area. You look at the Southwest in Texas again, you’ve got two new cheese plants that are still in the midst of ramping up. They are getting first dibs on the milk at the expense of the nonfat dry milk plants down there. So those plants are gonna get the milk that they expected. And there’s another nonfat plant that pretty much has turned a 100%, to Diego’s point that’s turned a 100% of their milk supply into skim UF that they’re supplying to various sources. And that plant is running the ultra filtration unit full. So, that plant isn’t drying anything. You got a couple of dryers in the Michigan area. They’re not running as full as usually, but it’s more of a domino effect there. I have a hunch as you get into the flush, those dryers may fill up. But you’ve got four other dryers, maybe five that aren’t. Now you go over to the west coast: California, those are drying. But California alone, as big as it is, is not enough to offset how much milk is not running into the dryers in the [00:06:00] rest of the country. And then you’ve got the Northwest, where there has been a lot of milk lost in the Northwest. And so that dryer isn’t running as full as probably previously expected. What happened was everybody just got together, finally started talking when they were all together in Palm Springs, and they realized when they did the math, even if we’re up 4.4% in milk production, we’re not drying more nonfat. Those skim solids are going elsewhere for various reasons. Diego Carvallo: The biggest question right now, Ted, is the lack of product in the Midwest and East Coast could balance out the lack of exports that we’re gonna have from this price rally. The numbers say that demand is approximately 60 million pounds. That number, it’s probably only 2% to 3% of U.S. nonfat production. So, it doesn’t seem like a huge number, but when you compare it to exports it is quite a volume. Ted Jacoby III: It really does add up. Yeah, no, I would agree with that. Jacob Menge: It sounds based on what Ted had just laid out and what you had said earlier, Diego, that this [00:07:00] isn’t necessarily a demand-driven rally. It’s really a lack-of-supply-driven rally. Ted Jacoby III: Yeah. A lack-of-supply-driven rally in an environment where everybody was expecting oversupply and kind of got caught surprised when they realized that even though there’s more milk, it didn’t fully translate to more powder. Jacob Menge: So, what changes it? Price? How long? What does end game here look like? Based on what I’m hearing, sounds to me like there’s almost not a price that is all of a sudden going to bring more supply out of the woodwork. So, is there a price that kills demand? People say, “Hey, we can’t make this number work anymore?” Ted Jacoby III: I think, actually, Diego just framed it a few minutes ago in the right way. This lost production that we were expecting, is it enough to make up for the fact that international demand for nonfat and skim milk powder isn’t actually that great? I think he’s hit the nail on the head. Let’s face it, skim milk powder, nonfat, dry milk is kind of the ultimate dairy commodity, which means it’s more price sensitive than others. And we’re gonna get to a point when we’re gonna find out where that [00:08:00] equilibrium point is between demand and supply. Josh White: There’s a few things that could tilt the scales a bit that I think we should just pay a little bit of attention to at the moment. You made a comment earlier that the production outta California isn’t enough to satisfy what we’re losing in terms of powder in the rest of the country. I wonder though, as we seasonally ramp up our milk volumes in the U.S., if we don’t satisfy that difference at a certain moment. I’m certainly not suggesting that that should make us all bearish. But I do think that there’s something worth noting there. Jake, you made a comment a moment ago that it doesn’t sound like there’s a price that slows it down. That same phenomenon is happening in Europe right now, and I think that Europe is also gonna seasonally increase their supply. They’ve got a lot of additional powder and there is a price out there that people substitute. There is a price out there at which you price out international demand. What we’ve gotta try to reconcile is all of this additional demand for skim solids in the U.S. is [00:09:00] that replacing our need to be an exporter of skim solids? I don’t have the numbers in front of me, but it feels like a reach to believe that we’re consuming enough to take away our need to compete internationally for skim demand. So that’s one thing that might just put a little bit of a seasonal ceiling on this thing as we move forward. The real question is, does that actually tilt us into a surplus situation again, or not? Big question that we should get our arms around. Additionally, I think that there is substitution within dairy. For the longest time, skim solids are very, very cheap. And as mentioned, the fortification into the cheese vat has been a pretty clear decision. When butterfat dropped to the price levels that it did, it makes a whole lot of sense to fortify. As these skim prices move a bit higher and dependent on our cheese price outlook going forward, does that math shift at all? I’ve heard arguments on both sides that the math does matter, and I’ve also heard arguments that the math really doesn’t matter. It’s all about [00:10:00] optimizing put through in the vat. So yeah, I think those are interesting topics for us to debate because those are the things that might tilt the market one way or the other. Ted Jacoby III: When it comes to skim solids versus butterfat in the vat, and let’s not forget, with the increase in solids in the milk, especially in butterfat, you’ve gotten the ratio of protein to fat outta whack, which is driving an increased need of skim solids into the cheese vat. The real math is: do you sell the cream or you divide the UF milk? Well, guess what? The UF milk is getting a lot more expensive right now. And so, you can make the case that you might actually force yourself to be comfortable selling the cream because it’s really a question of do you overpay for the skim solids or do you lose money on the butterfat if you sell the butterfat. At lower butter prices, for a couple of different reasons, you need a higher multiple on the cream in order to sell it. And one of the big ones is cost of freight as a percentage of the butterfat price has gone way up. You compare a $1.50 butter to $3 butter and on a percentage basis, your freight costs are twice as much [00:11:00] now. Which ultimately, when it comes to surplus cream, will drive down the multiple that you’ll receive for the cream. Josh White: You know, I don’t wanna shift gears, but I do wanna spend a moment just thinking about the milk production response and if our outlook shifted a little bit over the past month or two. ’cause going into the end of the year, it seemed like the U.S. and Europe were on a collision course, a game of chicken to decide who’s gonna be the first to drop price enough to see milk production slow down. Our global milk production, what is it up like 3.8% or something like that going into the end of the year on a solids basis, and no real sign of major change in the first half of the year, other than some signaling from European companies to lower their milk price and try to slow things down. Is this recent rally, whether it’s a short covering rally or whether it’s temporary, is this pushing out that response, whether it’s in Europe or the U.S., even further than we previously thought? Ted Jacoby III: I feel pretty comfortable saying no. And the reason I feel pretty [00:12:00] comfortable saying no, is for a couple of reasons. The biggest one is nonfat milk production is less than 15% of the milk supply of the U.S. And so, this rally in nonfat prices, it’s affecting less than 15% of the milk supply. Translated over a 100% of the milk supply, it’s not that big a number. I’m not sure it moves the dial a huge amount. Maybe I should back up a little bit because it’s now the higher of Class III and Class IV and Class I, and Class IV was trailing Class III by a dollar and now Class IV is ahead of Class III because of this rally. So yes, you’re starting to drive up prices there, too, so maybe it is helping the dairy farmer in a couple of places. While I agree that you’ve gotten a sympathy rally with cheese and butter, unlike nonfat, there’s more than enough butter and there’s more than enough cheese out there. And so we don’t actually see a true challenge to accessing supply with those two. So, while you may see increased futures levels at the moment, I’m not sure that’s going [00:13:00] to translate for a long enough period of time, the increased price levels for those products. Josh White: Just to play devil’s advocate, I think if you ask the market if fresh production of butter was readily available, the answer might be no. Ted Jacoby III: It’s either one of two things. There’s a lot of 82% being made for export. Or you’ve got 30¢ to 40¢ of carry in the futures market, and if I’m a butter manufacturer, and I’ve got any kind of working capital, I’m making 80%, I’m parking it in my own warehouse, I’m hedging it out to capture that extra 40¢, and I’m telling everybody I’m sold out. Well, guess what? That butterfat is still available. Once you get past the old crop, new crop March 1st date, that math changes, that’s only a month away. And I would even say you’re talking about the shortest month of the year, too. Josh White: Cheese has the same forward curve right now. Maybe not quite as dramatic, but a pretty good healthy contango going forward. What’s different about the cheese market? Ted Jacoby III: Cheese has a tendency to have carry in it when prices are low. The market is more used to this kind of carry in [00:14:00] cheese. Jacob Menge: The shelf life too. Ted, I mean Ted Jacoby III: that’s, that’s, well, that’s right. That’s the second one is cheese ages. And so six month old cheese is a different product than 30 day old cheese. With butter, there’s a reason why the CME rules for butter is up to 12 months after December 1st production. Whereas with cheese, it’s basically a 30 day market. And that has to do with how the product changes over time as it ages. Josh White: When we’re thinking about the cheese market, we’re talking about the U.S. milk production being up, year over year a lot. We throw a little salt on that because we recognize we’re comparing against bird flu impacted regions a year ago, but still lot more milk solids. Lot more butterfat out there. But at the same time, we’ve added plenty of Class III processing capacity, at least through the middle part of America to process quite a bit more milk. How is the whey component playing into this right now? Do we think these plants are gonna be highly motivated to fill up because of the return they’re getting for the whey [00:15:00] products, despite the cheese, situation you just mentioned, or are we really testing that desire to wanna fill up some of these plants as milk volumes pick up seasonally here in the state? Ted Jacoby III: So I can answer that question with the same answer two different ways. The first is: Please don’t forget that the Class III price ultimately insulates cheese manufacturers from major movements in price. If they’re having to sell all that cheese at a substantial discount to the market, they could be losing money making the cheese, but the reality is if they sell it anywhere close to the CME price, it’s still gonna be a net profit or at least a net break even for them on the cheese side. Meanwhile, if they have a whey protein dryer and they’re making WPC 80 to your WPC 90, Josh as you well know, as our primary whey trader, those are very, very profitable for cheese plants right now with the prices as high as they are. Josh White: Unprecedented. Mike Brown: Gives them a little room with a higher class IV price because of that return [00:16:00] from whey to pay a little more than the spread might normally indicate that they would. Just as a point of reference, if you look the most recent dairy production numbers we have products is for November, but Southwest was down 25% I think, in overall nonfat dry milk production. And they were 70% of the decrease over last year. Ted Jacoby III: Yep. Mike Brown: And you still have some plants filling up down there. Although, again, we’ll see what happens with this spread. But to the point we’ve all made earlier, it is a supply issue. And there’s no question those south central cheese plants in Kansas and Texas are a big part of the reason that there’s less milk going into powder. Ted Jacoby III: I had someone earlier today make a comment, and I never quite thought of it this way. He was actually talking about cheese, but I think the exact same thing goes for powder plants. Because the solids in the milk is up, they need less loads of milk to make the same amount of powder. And the bottleneck in the process a lot of times is not the milk receiving bay. So it literally means they have to take in less milk to get there. If you’re out in California, those bottlenecks are limiting how much milk they can [00:17:00] process. In the Southwest, they’re not. Josh White: Right. Ted Jacoby III: But demand for protein, I’ll frame it this way: We’re seeing huge increases in demand for whey proteins. We’re seeing increases in demand for milk proteins. We’re seeing increases in demand for UF milk, not just by cheese plants, but by ready to drink milk bottlers, as well, who really wanna sell that high protein milk. And that is what’s driving all of this. And it’s driving it away from the nonfat dryer, and it’s driving it towards cheese, which is a source of protein, whether it’s cheese or it’s the whey that comes off the cheese. It’s driving it towards those UF milk plants. It’s driving it towards milk protein concentrate plants. It’s really all about that huge increasing demand for protein that’s driving this. I don’t think it’s that hard to make the correlation that this big increase in the demand for dairy proteins across the dairy spectrum is what’s causing this powder market to be tight. Because it’s pulling milk away [00:18:00] from the nonfat dryer. Mike Brown: Yeah. And certainly, you have a fair amount of MPC capacity, certainly in New Mexico. If you can make a protein, you’re making a protein, I think, whether it’s milk or whey.Ted Jacoby III: I think that’s exactly right. So, Diego, where do we end? We were below a $1.20 three weeks ago. We’re at a $1.46 today. Are we gonna get to a $1.60? Diego Carvallo: Ted, I do know that the $1.40 is a strong psychological resistance and the futures are very close to it. I’m gonna monitor it. I don’t know how high we can go. At this point, it seems like a train, and I’m not gonna step in front of it. $1.50 is not impossible at this moment, but at the same time, I could tell you that we could have a strong correction also. So, very difficult to read right now. Ted Jacoby III: We just talked about a real nice rally going on in nonfat. The rally we think is because the demand for protein is pulling milk away from the nonfat dryer. Meanwhile, I think we have more than enough butter, though it may not be available yet, in terms of new crop, 80% butter sellable on the [00:19:00] CME. We think that we’re gonna have more than enough cheese, colored cheddar, which tends to be the product that drives price on the cheese side. So, even though we have had a rally in both of those products in futures, we’re not as strong of believers in the cheese market and the butter market as we are in the nonfat market right now. So, before we wrap up, we’re gonna do a quick lightning round question. We just came out of the Dairy Forum. We had many, many conversations with a lot of different people. What is the one thing happening in the dairy market right now that we think people are overlooking? Josh, I’m gonna start with you. Josh White: The reshaping of how milk trades across the country. I’m certainly not in the best position versus our milk team to address that, but the changes in where we can process milk, how we can process milk, and who’s demanding the milk is reshaping how things move. And I think that’s gonna test some of our experience and historical expectations for how a market responds to some of the signals we’re seeing now. I mean, let’s be real clear. Over the past 24 months, we’ve been surprised as a [00:20:00] dairy industry by two major things. It was not that long ago that you couldn’t get enough fat. The dairymen responded and it surprised the market, I think, to a point where now we’re expecting to be a fat exporter for a while. On the other side, if we go back, not even 60 days ago, the argument was will nonfat break a dollar? Or not. And today, we’re talking about it being a very firm market and citing a bunch of reasons why that happened. And the market, I believe, was surprised by that. So, if you’re a buyer out there, don’t assume that these markets can’t change and change fast. Definitely make sure you’re preparing yourselves for that because we just went through multiple years where there was almost no risk of getting access to nonfat supply, and we’re getting phone calls now where people need coverage right now and are having difficulties doing so. Ted Jacoby III: Thanks Josh. Mike, how about you? What’s something that nobody’s talking about right now that we probably should be paying attention to? Mike Brown: I think from the standpoint of the cheesemaker and that cost of those [00:21:00] protein solids is a three four spread flipping significantly. We’re $2 the other way again now. That cost of fortification has gone up a lot. Even with a $12 WPI market. That’s a big number to work with. And I think just in general, the growth in demand, whether it’s ultra filtered protein, fluid products, or the new cheese capacity we underestimated how that would hit the supply of nonfat dry milk, and we’re now living that. Ted Jacoby III: Excellent. Thanks Mike. Diego, how about you? Diego Carvallo: I have two things. One is the dollar weakness is something I haven’t heard a lot of people talking about and how that influences the prices for all commodities. And the second one is, I think a lot of people might be overlooking Mexican milk production. Ted Jacoby III: Up or down. Is it good or bad? Diego Carvallo: From informal reports, it could be strongly up. Ted Jacoby III: Okay. That would not be good for nonfat prices, would it? Diego Carvallo: Correct. Yep. Ted Jacoby III: Jake, how about you? Jacob Menge: I’ll go with just the upending of all kinds of long held assumptions. If you’ve got calculators you’ve been [00:22:00] using, dairy market calculators, between the milk price formula changes between dollar weakness changing between us flipping to be a fat exporter, throw it all out. There are just so many of these, probably long held assumptions, those kind of things that people that have been in the industry a while probably have like, “Well, my gut tells me this.” Question your gut. That’s my go-to train of thought moving forward. Ted Jacoby III: I think that’s a good one. And I will say, I think people are underestimating what this whole breeding to beef thing going on with the dairy farmer is doing to their decision-making process when it comes to killing cows. Everybody’s talking about how low the price is. Everybody’s wondering when this price will recover. And I keep asking myself, if every time a beef cow is born, you’re selling that cow for over a thousand dollars, why would you wanna get rid of that womb? ’cause that womb seems to be making you a lot of money. To all of our listeners out there, thank you so much for joining us this week, and we look forward to talking to you soon. Take care out there.

In 2011, Cantor Gaming stormed into Las Vegas with the swagger of Wall Street, led by Howard Lutnick at the helm of the parent company Cantor Fitzgerald and Lee Amaitis running the Nevada operation. Known for pioneering mobile sports wagering and accepting unprecedented high-limit bets—sometimes as large as $500,000—Cantor positioned itself as the cutting edge of sports gaming. To many, it looked like a revolution: bettors flocked to its books at the M Resort and beyond, drawn by the promise of action other operators wouldn't touch. But behind the gloss of innovation, Cantor became entangled in one of the largest illegal betting scandals in modern history. The so-called “Jersey Boys,” an East Coast ring with deep ties to organized bookmaking, infiltrated the operation through Cantor executive Michael “The Computer” Colbert. With Colbert as their insider, the crew laundered millions through Cantor's system, exploiting the company's appetite for volume and its disregard for traditional risk limits.The scheme collapsed in 2012 when Colbert and more than two dozen associates were arrested in a sweeping FBI crackdown. Nevada regulators soon levied one of the largest fines in state history—$5.5 million—citing Cantor's lack of oversight. Amaitis stepped down in 2016, his reputation scarred, while the Cantor brand itself was rebranded as CG Technology in a failed attempt to shed its baggage. By 2020, the company was sold to William Hill, its ambitions of dominating Las Vegas reduced to a cautionary tale. The Jersey Boys scandal not only crippled Cantor but reshaped the entire sports gaming industry, ushering in stricter compliance, tighter wagering oversight, and a lasting reminder that unchecked ambition and Wall Street arrogance could topple even the flashiest of innovators.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

They discuss the evolving challenges Amazon sellers face, including rising logistics costs, tariff complexities, and intense competition from overseas sellers. Ephraim shares actionable strategies for optimizing supply chains, navigating shipping terms, and maintaining profit margins. The conversation also covers the importance of brand building, diversification across marketplaces, and leveraging expert consultants. Practical advice and industry insights make this episode essential listening for e-commerce entrepreneurs aiming to scale and stay competitive.Here are the 3 action items that Josh identified from this episode:Audit Your DDP Strategy for Potential 10-15% Tariff SavingsWork with a customs consultant to analyze if having your manufacturer ship DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) makes sense for your products. Break down your product components (e.g., plastic handle vs. steel blade) on commercial invoices to potentially reduce duty classifications. This only works if your supplier's margins allow for it and they're willing to be the official shipper.Switch from Placement Fees to 5-Way Splits for Better CoverageStop paying Amazon placement fees and instead do 5-way splits into multiple fulfillment centers. This distributes your inventory across 9-12 locations per split, improving delivery speed to customers nationwide and potentially increasing sales by 4-10%. Use a flat-rate freight service to avoid high trucking costs for partial loads.Build a Supply Chain Buffer SystemAlways maintain backup inventory outside of AWD/FBA - whether in your garage, basement, or a 3PL warehouse. This protects you from Amazon delays, lost shipments, or FC transfer bottlenecks. Running out of stock can permanently damage your listing's ranking, so having a contingency plan is essential for protecting your sales velocity.Resources mentioned in this episode:Josh Hadley on LinkedIneComm Breakthrough ConsultingeComm Breakthrough PodcastEmail Josh Hadley: Josh@eCommBreakthrough.comAmazon Global Logistics (AGL)DDP (Delivered Duty Paid)EXW (Ex Works)AWB (Amazon Warehouse and Distribution)FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon)Seller CentralSmart ScoutSeller BoardHelium 10PerplexityTraction by Gino WickmanVistageSpecial Mention(s):Adam “Heist” Runquist on LinkedInKevin King on LinkedInMichael E.

You start off right now. Should I use AWS or not? Is the main factor. Question is the cost right? AWS is actually increasing the rates as of January 1st for West Coast. Now obviously that's going to push more people to East Coast where it takes longer to get there, but they'll get congested there and then they'll raise the rate in East Coast. And then they raise the rates across the board. I believe that's their model.MC 00:00:29  Welcome to the Ecomm Breakthrough podcast.

In 2011, Cantor Gaming stormed into Las Vegas with the swagger of Wall Street, led by Howard Lutnick at the helm of the parent company Cantor Fitzgerald and Lee Amaitis running the Nevada operation. Known for pioneering mobile sports wagering and accepting unprecedented high-limit bets—sometimes as large as $500,000—Cantor positioned itself as the cutting edge of sports gaming. To many, it looked like a revolution: bettors flocked to its books at the M Resort and beyond, drawn by the promise of action other operators wouldn't touch. But behind the gloss of innovation, Cantor became entangled in one of the largest illegal betting scandals in modern history. The so-called “Jersey Boys,” an East Coast ring with deep ties to organized bookmaking, infiltrated the operation through Cantor executive Michael “The Computer” Colbert. With Colbert as their insider, the crew laundered millions through Cantor's system, exploiting the company's appetite for volume and its disregard for traditional risk limits.The scheme collapsed in 2012 when Colbert and more than two dozen associates were arrested in a sweeping FBI crackdown. Nevada regulators soon levied one of the largest fines in state history—$5.5 million—citing Cantor's lack of oversight. Amaitis stepped down in 2016, his reputation scarred, while the Cantor brand itself was rebranded as CG Technology in a failed attempt to shed its baggage. By 2020, the company was sold to William Hill, its ambitions of dominating Las Vegas reduced to a cautionary tale. The Jersey Boys scandal not only crippled Cantor but reshaped the entire sports gaming industry, ushering in stricter compliance, tighter wagering oversight, and a lasting reminder that unchecked ambition and Wall Street arrogance could topple even the flashiest of innovators.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

A New Era for the SportsPlex On a snow covered Thursday afternoon in Winchester, Virginia, the sounds of laughter and plastic paddles echo through the newly transformed PklPlex. What was once a multipurpose arena hosting basketball, floor hockey, and volleyball has evolved into something entirely different—six championship-quality indoor pickleball courts that are drawing players from teenagers to octogenarians. Owners Tammy LaCroix and Mike Turpin spent over a year searching for the perfect location to open their pickleball club they tell host Janet Michael and co-host Justin Kerns on a recent episode of The Valley Today. After encountering numerous zoning issues with other buildings, they finally connected with the owner of the Winchester SportsPlex last summer. The facility, located at 221 Commonwealth Court just off Interstate 81 in Kernstown, wasn't being used to its full capacity. Consequently, they negotiated a lease for half the building and got to work transforming it into the region's premier indoor pickleball destination. Building Something Special The transformation wasn't simple. First, the team stripped the arena down to bare concrete, removing the old plastic tiles that had served multiple sports. Then, they brought in specialized equipment to prepare the surface for what would become elite-level courts. Using Laykold—a company trusted by USTA tennis facilities worldwide—they applied a seven-layer painting process with sand built into each layer for optimal traction. Moreover, the PklPlex stands out as one of the only facilities on the East Coast to feature plexiglass barriers surrounding the courts. Unlike traditional chain-link fencing, these transparent walls allow spectators to watch every moment of play from the comfortable lounge area. This design choice creates an inviting atmosphere where families can relax on couches, enjoy snacks, and observe players at every skill level. More Than Just a Sport Pickleball's explosive growth didn't happen by accident. Mike, a lifelong tennis player, explains that the pandemic created a perfect storm for the sport's popularity. People desperately needed outdoor exercise combined with social interaction, and pickleball delivered both. Unlike tennis, which takes years to master, newcomers can learn the basics in just 15 to 20 minutes. Furthermore, the sport's accessibility sets it apart. The court measures roughly half the size of a tennis court, players use lightweight paddles instead of heavy rackets, and the wiffle ball moves slower than a tennis ball. Additionally, the "kitchen"—a designated area near the net where players cannot spike the ball—prevents aggressive play and keeps the game friendly. Games only go to 11 points, making matches quick and allowing for frequent rotation among players. Building Community One Game at a Time What truly distinguishes the PklPlex is its emphasis on community. Tammy has created a tiered system of drop-in play sessions with delightfully creative names: Fresh Pickles for beginners, Paddle Rangers for intermediate players, Kitchen Masters for advanced players, and Court Commanders for the elite. Players register online through the Court Reserve app, which shows exactly who else will be playing. The system works brilliantly. Each court accommodates six registered players—four playing while two wait. Every 15 minutes, players rotate, ensuring everyone gets equal court time. When a session fills up, Tammy simply opens another court. Throughout the day, her phone constantly dings with messages as players coordinate their visits. Ages and Stages The membership roster tells an impressive story. Members range from 17 to 80 years old, and recently, the facility's oldest and youngest members faced off across the net. Both held their own, chatting and laughing throughout the match. This intergenerational appeal makes pickleball unique among sports. Families particularly love the flexibility. While members must be 17 or older to play independently, younger children can join their parents on private courts. Parents regularly book courts to play with their kids for an hour, creating quality family time. Meanwhile, high school and college students enjoy a special $5 drop-in rate, compared to the standard $15 visitor fee. No Experience Required For newcomers intimidated by trying a new sport, the PklPlex removes every barrier. The facility provides loaner paddles and balls, eliminating the need for upfront equipment purchases. Professional instructors offer lessons for those seeking to advance their skills, while Frederick County Parks and Recreation runs beginner classes on-site. Most importantly, the culture welcomes absolute beginners. When new players arrive, experienced members actively help them learn rather than dominating the court. Tammy recalls watching an 80-year-old woman with double hip replacements join a game. Despite limited mobility, she possessed an incredible serve from her tennis background. Other players adapted their game to include her, hitting balls within her reach and celebrating her contributions. Perfect for Visitors Justin (Winchester Tourism) emphasizes the facility's appeal for travelers. The Court Reserve app allows visitors from anywhere in the country to find local clubs, check schedules, and book courts before they arrive. Whether someone has two hours to burn on a rainy day or wants to maintain their pickleball routine while traveling, the PklPlex accommodates them. The facility operates Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 10 PM, offering both drop-in sessions and private court rentals. A well-stocked pro shop carries paddles, balls, and accessories for those who want to purchase their own gear. Additionally, the lounge area features ping pong and cornhole—both free to use—making it a complete recreational destination. The Addiction Factor Mike makes a bold claim: "Put a paddle in your hand—it's magic. You'll be addicted to pickleball." He insists he's never met anyone who tried the sport and didn't fall in love with it. The evidence supports him. One member stops by the desk daily to tell Tammy and Mike, "You have given me so much joy." During the grand opening over Christmas break, hundreds of people showed up for free play. Many have since become regular members. Even Mike admits that after working 10 to 15 hours at the facility, he'll be walking out the door when someone asks if he wants to play a game. His answer is always yes. A Sport Named After a Dog Perhaps the most charming detail about pickleball is its origin story. The sport has nothing to do with pickles. Instead, a family in Washington state created the game in the 1980s, and their dog was named Pickles. That simple fact somehow makes the sport even more endearing—a backyard invention that has grown into a nationwide phenomenon, bringing communities together one game at a time. For Winchester residents and visitors alike, the PklPlex offers something increasingly rare: a genuinely inclusive activity where 17-year-olds and 80-year-olds compete on equal footing, where strangers become friends within minutes, and where the only requirement for entry is a willingness to try something new.

The crew pivots from the chaos of the morning and jumps into a rapid-fire exercise: stack this year's Super Bowl (Patriots vs Seahawks) against the last decade and decide, honestly, which matchups had more juice before kickoff. It turns into a full breakdown of storylines, star power, coaching intrigue, and why some teams can be great but still feel bland. They debate whether it's East Coast bias, fatigue from seeing the same franchises, or simply that the newer versions of these teams are less interesting than the Brady era Patriots and the Legion of Boom era Seahawks. There's also a Monday vibe prediction that this one could get ugly, plus a quick detour into the coaching carousel, why some jobs are becoming toxic, and what that could mean for teams like the Jets. Then things go full radio: the hypocrisy conversation hits, how fans pick and choose outrage, and why perspective matters more than perception. It wraps with lighter chaos from the weekend, including concert takes, the legendary “Evan seats,” a wild UBS Arena story with Jon Ledecky, and the Islanders using Tommy's Rangers-sweep rant as hype-video fuel.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Connor Morrissette (aka "Triple-Double") return to discuss two major topics for the Trojan football team this off-season, the official hiring of former TCU head coach Gary Patterson as USC's new defensive coordinator and his introductory press conference and the official 2026 Big Ten schedule release.

Afterwards Ryan and Connor turn to the Big Ten schedule release and what they think of how USC's slate of games stacks up. We still do not know the Trojans week zero out of conference opponent, but we do know where the Trojans bye weeks are slated and when and where the Big Ten games will occur. SC starts conference play with a road trip to Rutgers before hosting the Pacific Northwest schools back-to-back before another East Coast road trip to Penn State.
