Fans don't just want their teams to win anymore — they want the sport itself to be flawless: perfect coaching, perfect officiating, perfect behavior, perfect “fairness,” perfect outcomes. In this episode of On The Ball, Ric Bucher explains why that expectation is a fantasy… and why technology, replay, and analytics have actually expanded the outrage economy instead of eliminating “human error.”Ric also takes a hard look at the growing “eliminate the NBA Draft to stop tanking” conversation — including Rich Paul's idea of treating incoming players like free agents — and lays out why it sounds great for agents and top prospects… but would crush competitive balance for small-market franchises.Then Ric pivots to the WNBA labor talks, arguing the players' union is approaching negotiations like it's a feel-good partnership — while owners hold nearly all the leverage. His message: if the players want real gains, they'll need organization, discipline, public pressure… and a willingness to risk uncomfortable outcomes.Sponsored by New Air Club — door-to-door private jet service built around value, comfort, and convenience.

Fernando shares his "burn the bridges" approach to entrepreneurship, explaining how he cash-advanced $97,000 to force his own success. He famously remarks, "Every time a life changes, a storage unit gets rented," offering a deep dive into the psychology and strategy of a "recess-proof" industry.Key Takeaways Success demands "crazy transformation" and a willingness to build the parachute on the way down.

In this investigative solo deep dive, Darin exposes the ongoing PFAS contamination crisis, the "forever chemicals" found in drinking water, clothing, carpets, cookware, cosmetics, food packaging, and even firefighting foam. Sparked by a Frontline investigation into the carpet industry in Dalton, Georgia, this episode expands far beyond one region and reveals a global supply chain problem affecting nearly every American. This episode is urgent. With 99% of people showing measurable PFAS levels in their blood, this is not about fear. It's about sovereignty. It's about awareness. It's about eliminating silent accumulation and reclaiming control over your environment. This is not luxury health. This is foundational freedom. In This Episode What PFAS are and why they're called "forever chemicals" The Dalton, Georgia carpet industry case and wastewater contamination Internal corporate knowledge from 3M and DuPont decades ago Why PFAS contamination is global, not regional Everyday exposure: waterproof clothing, yoga pants, school uniforms, outdoor gear Nonstick cookware and safer alternatives Microwave popcorn bags and grease-resistant packaging Cosmetics, mascara, and fluorinated compounds Firefighting foam contamination at airports and military bases Health impacts: immune suppression, thyroid disruption, cancer risk Why water filtration is your first line of defense Emerging detox strategies: fiber, blood donation, microbiome support The role of regulation rollbacks and corporate accountability Algae-based PFAS alternatives already entering the market Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife: sovereignty, health, and responsibility 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Truniagen NAD supplement 00:02:17 – Why this PFAS episode is urgent and investigative 00:03:07 – The Frontline documentary: Dalton, Georgia & carpet contamination 00:04:31 – What PFAS / PFOA actually do and why they were adopted 00:05:45 – "Miracle chemistry" without proper safety testing 00:06:07 – Persistence: PFAS do not break down in the environment 00:06:38 – Wastewater discharge & farmland contamination 00:07:50 – Dead livestock, contaminated groundwater & generational impact 00:08:23 – 3M, DuPont, internal documents & decades of corporate knowledge 00:08:52 – Long-chain vs short-chain PFAS replacements 00:09:20 – Clothing exposure: waterproof jackets, yoga pants, uniforms 00:10:24 – Cookware exposure & safer alternatives 00:10:57 – Cosmetics & Environmental Working Group resources 00:11:17 – Sponsor: Shakeology & seven layers of quality testing 00:13:03 – Lack of labeling transparency 00:13:20 – Firefighting foam & military base contamination 00:14:05 – Health risks: immune suppression, thyroid, cholesterol, cancer 00:14:35 – 99% of Americans have PFAS in their blood 00:15:01 – Erin Brockovich & environmental legal activism 00:15:33 – Personal action step #1: Reverse osmosis water filtration 00:16:04 – Testing well water & municipal pressure 00:16:28 – Personal action step #2: Eliminating household exposures 00:17:25 – Emerging research: oat beta glucan fiber 00:18:03 – Firefighter study: blood donation lowering PFAS levels 00:18:32 – Microbiome & mycelium detox research 00:18:56 – Moving beyond fear into empowered action 00:19:23 – Phasing out toxic clothing & upgrading environment gradually 00:20:15 – Stockholm Convention & global treaties 00:20:52 – EPA regulations & rollback frustrations 00:21:19 – Innovation outrunning safety 00:21:50 – Share this episode & create consumer pressure 00:22:28 – Clean water, clean soil, clean products as human rights 00:22:54 – Terem Labs & algae-based PFAS alternatives 00:23:27 – Building a safe home environment as first step 00:24:15 – Final call to action: demand transparency & push reform Thank You to Our Sponsors Shakeology: Get 15% off with code DARINO1BODI at Shakeology.com.

The climate crisis is no longer a distant warning — it's happening right now. Wildfires are destroying entire communities. Record-breaking heatwaves are overwhelming hospitals. Floods are swallowing neighborhoods that have stood for generations. Scientists warn we are approaching dangerous tipping points that could trigger irreversible warming. Yet Donald Trump continues to dismiss climate change as a “hoax.” In this video, we break down the real consequences of rolling back climate protections — including the effort to rescind the EPA's 2009 endangerment finding. That landmark decision established that greenhouse gases endanger public health and gave the federal government authority to regulate climate pollution under the Clean Air Act. Eliminating it could weaken limits on emissions from vehicles, power plants, and major industries. #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #EnvironmentalPolicy #CleanAirAct Independent media has never been more important.

Fatty liver disease affects a large portion of adults worldwide and often develops silently, increasing the risk of liver damage, heart disease and shortened life expectancy if metabolic health isn't improved Consistent exercise reduces liver fat even without weight loss, improving blood sugar control, cardiovascular fitness and overall metabolic function Meaningful liver fat reduction begins at about 20 to 25 minutes of moderate activity five days weekly, with the strongest efficiency gains occurring around 150 to 160 minutes per week Combining aerobic exercise with strength training produces greater liver and metabolic improvements than performing either type of exercise alone Eliminating harmful dietary fats, increasing key nutrients that support liver fat removal and maintaining regular physical activity directly address the metabolic overload that drives fatty liver disease
What if the most overlooked health intervention isn't a supplement… a biohack… or a protocol? What if it's the structure you live inside? In this deeply personal solo episode, Darin shares the seven-year journey of rebuilding after losing everything, and why this new home isn't just a house, it's a biological experiment in sovereignty. From fire resilience and toxic-free materials to grounding floors, EMF elimination, circadian lighting, and water independence, this episode breaks down the science and intention behind designing a "Fatal Convenience–Free" home. This is about more than architecture. It's about reclaiming your environment as a health intervention. In This Episode Why over 90% of California wildfires start from human infrastructure — and how to build for fire resilience The hidden toxins inside modern homes: formaldehyde, VOCs, flame retardants, particle board Why indoor air is 2–5x more polluted than outdoor air (EPA data) Why formaldehyde is a Group 1 carcinogen — and still used in building materials Steel framing, magnesium oxide walls, and hempcrete exterior — and the science behind each Water sovereignty: whole-house filtration, well water testing, pharmaceutical removal Eliminating WiFi and RF exposure with fully hardwired infrastructure Grounded copper-integrated flooring and the emerging science of earthing Solar redundancy and energy independence Circadian-aligned incandescent lighting to restore melatonin and sleep architecture Biophilic design and using fallen oak trees from the fire for untreated interior finishes Organic furniture free from PFAS, flame retardants, polyurethane foam Why your home may be the most powerful nervous system regulator in your life Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:33 – Plastic waste, fatal conveniences, and Bite toothpaste solution 00:02:48 – The solo episode: rebuilding after losing everything 00:03:30 – The most overlooked health intervention: your home 00:05:30 – Fire zones, ember exposure, and structural ignition science 00:07:00 – Steel framing and magnesium oxide walls explained 00:08:00 – Hempcrete and fire-resistant exterior systems 00:10:30 – Building biologists and probability management 00:13:40 – Indoor air pollution and EPA data 00:14:40 – Formaldehyde as a Group 1 carcinogen 00:15:30 – Eliminating composite woods and VOC sealants 00:16:45 – Mold-resistant building science 00:17:50 – EMF elimination, hardwired ethernet, no WiFi home 00:20:00 – Prefab SuperLife guest house concept 00:20:20 – Copper-integrated grounding floors 00:21:00 – The science of earthing and blood viscosity 00:22:10 – Water sovereignty and whole-house filtration 00:23:00 – Gray water and microbiological waste remediation 00:23:45 – Solar redundancy and energy independence 00:24:20 – Circadian lighting and melatonin suppression research 00:25:45 – Biophilic design and reclaimed oak interiors 00:27:00 – Organic furniture and eliminating endocrine disruptors 00:27:50 – Reinvention after loss: reducing biological stressors 00:29:00 – Architecture of biology and intention for the next chapter Thank You to Our Sponsors Fatty15: Get an additional 15% off their 90-day subscription Starter Kit by going to fatty15.com/DARIN and using code DARIN at checkout.

The walls, the lighting, the water, the wiring, the materials, the air… they are all inputs into your biology. Health isn't just what you eat. It's what surrounds you. This isn't about perfection. It's about reducing the biological stress load — and building a life aligned with sovereignty, intention, and nature."

If we want to fix food, we have to fix the institutions shaping what our kids eat every day. Public schools are effectively the largest restaurant chain in America, serving 30 million children. For many of them, school meals account for half of their daily calories. And yet, a majority of those calories still come from ultra-processed food. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Nora LaTorre, CEO of Eat Real, to talk about why the school cafeteria may be the most powerful lever we have to reverse the childhood health crisis—and why change is already happening faster than most people think. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. Today we discuss: • Why school food policy affects your family • How removing added sugar from school menus can change focus, behavior, and long-term health • Why school lunch participation rises when districts upgrade to real food • How changing school procurement reshapes local farms and food systems • What you can do as a parent to influence your district In less than two years, Eat Real–partnered districts are proving that real food can scale across red states, blue states, rural communities, and major cities. When procurement changes, farms change, and when menus change, our children have a better chance to thrive.

Originally aired May 25, 2023, this episode is rebroadcast in memory of Elly Alboim: an uncommon mind and a rare presence. Elly was brilliant, incisive, and deeply generous as a mentor and with his counsel. For anyone lucky enough to work with him, Elly was the person who could see the whole board at once. He was the person you wanted to speak last in a meeting because his opinion simply mattered most. This episode captures that gift in full for our audience. Elly died at the age of 78. ***The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail, Bruce Power, and AltaGas.***ORIGINAL POD DESCRIPTION: We're bringing together 2 people — “The Interns” — who mean a helluva lot to me in both a professional and personal sense. As mentors, colleagues, advisors and friends.Elly Alboim and Bill Fox are here!Both Elly and Bill are now 2-time Herle Burly guests. An honorific I'm assuming will go right to the top of their CVs. But listen up to their bona fides: Elly was a journalist for the CBC for almost a quarter century, before becoming Parliamentary Bureau Chief for TV news and National Political Editor. He was a senior advisor to Paul Martin as well as Kathleen Wynne. Today he's an Associate Professor of Journalism at Carleton and a Principal at Earnscliffe Strategies. And he wrote a fantastic piece on today's topic, called “Eliminating the CBC”, which you can check out at Air Quotes Media. Bill began as working journalist and became Ottawa and Washington bureau chief for The Toronto Star. He then turned his eye toward politics as Director of Communications for Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. Today, he's got about 18 academic degrees from small shops like Harvard and Carleton, and he's a leading analyst of media and communication. His latest book is “Trump, Trudeau, Tweets, Truth: A Conversation” which is a fantastic read.We're going dive into a topic that's become quite the political battleground over the last little while: The role and importance of CBC news … How the news division is performing … the case for dismantling … other legitimate journalistic alternatives … but first, media coverage of China election interference.
Hiring froze. Budgets stalled. Confidence disappeared. Yet some recruiters stayed busy—and kept billing while others panicked.
In this episode of The Ross Simmonds Show, Ross talks about the skills that create early traction don't scale; growth requires letting go, delegating, and evolving into a CEO. Scaling isn't just about revenue or headcount, it's about scaling yourself. That means building trust, hiring people better than you in their domains, creating systems, rituals, and documentation, and replacing instinct with infrastructure. Founders must stop being the bottleneck, accept work done at 80%, and focus their time on strategy, hiring, and long-term direction. Great leaders build leaders, not dependency. Trust is built through clarity, not micromanagement. As companies grow, founders must repeatedly evolve, face discomfort, make hard decisions quickly, and shed the “hustler” identity. You don't scale by doing more, you scale by becoming a leader who empowers others to do more. Key Takeaways and Insights: From Founder Hustle to CEO Leadership - Why the skills that got you started won't scale your business - The critical mindset shift from “doing everything” to leading through others - How chaos management evolves as your company grows Scaling Isn't Just About Revenue. It's About You. - Why personal growth is the real bottleneck in scaling - Letting go of control to unlock the next phase of growth - Becoming a multiplier instead of a bottleneck The 3 Core Levers of Scaling: Trust, Team, and Time - A simple framework to guide CEO-level decision-making - How these levers reduce stress and improve performance How to Build Trust Without Micromanaging - Why clarity beats control every time - Setting boundaries, defining success, and giving real autonomy - Eliminating founder anxiety through better communication Hiring People Smarter Than You (And Why It Matters) - Embracing discomfort as a sign of leadership maturity - Spotting talent that raises the standard across the company Protecting Your Time as a High-Leverage Asset - Where your time creates the most long-term impact - Shifting from tactical reviews to strategic thinking Evolving Through Every Stage of Growth - Why each revenue milestone requires a new version of you - Navigating the discomfort of leadership evolution - Letting go of the “hustler” identity to scale sustainably —

In this episode of SaaS Fuel, host Jeff Mains sits down with Marlena Sarunac, co-founder of The Company Advice and marketing strategist for early-stage startups in complex, regulated industries like HealthTech, FinTech, and InsurTech. Marlena shares her "playbook nicely" approach—a proven framework that helps founders avoid reinventing the wheel while building go-to-market foundations that scale.The conversation explores why letting products "speak for themselves" is a dangerous myth in today's saturated market, how to translate technical complexity into clear messaging that resonates, and why focus beats trying to appeal to everyone. Marlena reveals common messaging traps (including ChatGPT-generated clichés like "turning chaos into clarity"), the critical difference between selling to buyers versus users, and how to navigate pivots without losing credibility.Key Takeaways4:43 - The Playbook Nicely Approach6:24 - Translating Complexity into Clarity11:04 - Why "Product Speaks for Itself" is Dangerous15:34 - Common Messaging Traps17:42 - Buyers vs. Users21:05 - Building Trust22:51 - Navigating Pivots24:53 - AI and the Human Spark28:46 - Visual Identity Matters More Than Ever32:06 - Brand Debt39:18 - SEO/AIO Strategy42:36 - Marketing as R&D, Not a Cost CenterTweetable Quotes"Startups don't have time to burn creating playbooks from scratch. Tap into what's been tried and true, then iterate as market signals evolve." - Marlena Sarunac"If I see another company say they 'turned chaos into clarity,' I'm going to scream. That's such a ChatGPT tell." - Marlena Sarunac"Features matter to users. Benefits matter to buyers. Don't confuse the two." - Marlena Sarunac"If you're making the right pivot, the audience you're pivoting away from won't care—they weren't showing traction anyway." - Marlena Sarunac"Treat AI like an early-career intern. It's great for automating tedious tasks, but you need humans in the loop to ensure differentiation."- Marlena Sarunac"Just like technical debt, brand debt accumulates when you take shortcuts. You'll pay for it eventually—and it'll be expensive." - Marlena Sarunac"Marketing isn't a cost center—it's the connective tissue between product and sales. Eliminating it is shortsighted." - Marlena SarunacSaaS Leadership Lessons1. Focus Beats BreadthTrying to sell to everyone dilutes your message and confuses the market. Get disciplined: focus on 1-3 buyer personas maximum. You can always expand later, but early-stage startups need clarity and traction, not broad appeal that resonates with no one.2. Separate Buyers from UsersYour buyers (decision-makers) and users (end-users) have different needs. Buyers care about business outcomes and ROI; users care about features and usability. Tailor your messaging accordingly: high-level benefits for buyers, detailed use cases and documentation for users.3. Build in Public, Iterate FastDon't wait for perfection. Put messaging out there when you're "half comfortable," gather market feedback, and iterate quickly. Use flexible systems (landing pages, modular websites) that allow rapid updates without massive overhauls....

Every single person in the human race wants to build a better world and a brighter future for the next generation. But why is the climate discourse constantly diminished by cancel culture? Corinna Bellizzi explores this distressing social issue with climate strategist and advocate for sustainable change, Jenny Morgan. Delving into her book, Cancel Culture in Climate, Jenny discusses what it takes to get rid of the perfectionism and purist mindset that puts the entire climate movement to a halt. She explains how to participate in hopeful climate conversations that simplify the overwhelming climate problem, the importance of transparency and clarity in corporate social responsibility, and how to make the younger generation more climate and environmentally sensitive.

What if some of the foods you eat every day are quietly working against your health? Amy Hudson sits down with Gerianne Cygan to break down food supervillains that may be doing more harm than good when we ingest them. They unpack insights from the Exercise Coach Nutrition Playbook, a practical resource used with clients at Exercise Coach Studios to simplify nutrition and target three major health troublemakers: high blood sugar, systemic inflammation, and poor digestive health. Tune in to hear how identifying and removing these food supervillains can create meaningful changes in how your body functions, and why a simpler nutrition framework might be the reset your health needs. Gerianne starts by explaining what "food supervillains" are. These are foods that consistently drive three major health problems: inflammation, high blood sugar, and poor digestive health. Gerianne covers why sugar earns the #1 supervillain spot. Sugar drives blood sugar spikes, crashes, cravings, and long-term insulin resistance. Over time, this pattern contributes to diabetes, metabolic syndrome, inflammation, and digestive issues. Learn how sugar hides in plain sight. Sugar shows up under dozens of names, including cane sugar, honey, maple syrup, maltodextrin, coconut sugar, and more. Many people don't realize how much sugar they're eating because the labels look "natural." Gerianne explains why fruit is still sugar, but not all sugar is equal. Whole fruits provide fiber and nutrients that slow absorption when eaten in moderation. Portion size and food pairing matter far more than cutting fruit out entirely. Why sugar is so hard to quit. Research shows sugar can trigger addictive patterns similar to drugs like cocaine. Gerianne explains why grains and starchy foods are supervillains for many people. Grains like wheat, rice, oats, and corn often irritate digestion and raise blood sugar. Components like gluten, lectins, and phytates can damage the gut lining and block mineral absorption. Amy explains why grains are problematic. Poor digestion can trigger immune responses and systemic inflammation throughout the body. Many modern grains are highly refined and offer little nutritional value in return. Gerianne shares a practical tip for sugars, grains, and starches. Pairing them with protein and healthy fats slows blood sugar absorption. While this helps blood sugar control, it doesn't fully fix digestive issues. Why dairy makes the supervillain list. Dairy can raise blood sugar, promote inflammation, and worsen gut permeability. Lactose intolerance and immune reactions are more common than most people realize. Amy and Gerianne cover how to choose better dairy if you tolerate it. Grass-fed, organic, and fermented options like natural yogurt, kefir, aged cheese, butter, or ghee are better choices. Avoid sweetened, processed dairy with additives and emulsifiers. Gerianne explains why legumes and soy can be problematic. Legumes contain anti-nutrients that affect digestion and mineral absorption. They're especially challenging for people with existing gut or inflammatory issues. The protein problem with legumes. Legumes are low in essential amino acids and are less digestible than animal proteins. While they provide fiber, they're not complete proteins. Gerianne explains how personal training supports metabolic health beyond workouts. An experienced exercise coach can help you understand how food affects your blood sugar, inflammation, and performance. Why soy deserves extra caution. According to Gerianne, soy is heavily genetically modified and often sprayed with glyphosate. If consumed, organic and fermented forms like tempeh, miso, or natto are better options. Gerianne explains why artificial sweeteners, additives, and seed oils are supervillains. These ingredients disrupt gut bacteria, worsen insulin response, and trigger inflammation. They're linked to hormonal, neurological, and immune issues. Gerianne explains why alcohol makes the supervillain list. Current research shows no amount of alcohol is beneficial. Even moderate drinking increases cancer risk and worsens existing health conditions. Understand how alcohol behaves like sugar in the body. It spikes blood sugar and insulin just like other supervillains. Over time, it contributes to inflammation, poor sleep, and cardiovascular risk. Amy shares her personal "aha" moment about food. Sugar, grains, and alcohol all process like sugar in the body. Understanding this changed how she viewed everyday food choices. Amy highlights how to take action with a 30-day metabolic reset. Eliminating food supervillains for a short period helps reveal how your body truly responds. This approach focuses on learning, not perfection. Amy shares why working with a personal trainer helps connect nutrition decisions to real-world energy, strength, and recovery. That context makes unhealthy food choices harder to ignore and better habits easier to keep. Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

Founder and Head of Product Clint Brauer has developed robots that help reduce—or even eliminate—chemical use while improving the efficiency of farming practices. This innovative approach not only protects workers from exposure to harmful substances but also addresses growing concerns about the safety of food and its environmental impact.Clint's journey began with a deeply personal motivation. “Greenfield comes from my dad,” he explained. “I got Parkinson's years ago, about 20 years ago. And so I decided to do something about it. And I thought it was from farm chemicals.” His mission quickly evolved into creating technology that could solve problems for all farmers, regardless of their stance on chemicals.The robots Clint and his team developed are capable of cutting weeds and providing precise foliar feeding. “We weed by day and we foliar feed by night,” Clint shared. By targeting the stomata of the plants, these robots can deliver nutrients effectively while avoiding the need for excessive synthetic fertilizers. This process not only protects crops but also helps regenerate the soil, creating a more sustainable farming ecosystem.Greenfield Robotics has already seen promising results. Operating in 17 states with about 80 robots in the field, the company is steadily scaling its operations. Clint emphasizes that the work is still in its early stages, but the potential for widespread adoption is clear.In addition to its technological breakthroughs, Greenfield Robotics is raising capital through a regulated crowdfunding campaign on StartEngine. Clint's goal is to make the company a grassroots movement, with farmers and consumers becoming co-owners. “We want farmers and consumers to own Greenfield,” Clint said. “Food is one of the very few things we all share.”By reducing chemical use and fostering a more sustainable future, Clint and his team are paving the way for a revolution in agriculture. It's an inspiring story of innovation and determination, with robots leading the charge for cleaner, healthier food.tl;dr:Greenfield Robotics uses robots to reduce farm chemicals, improving safety, efficiency, and sustainability.Clint Brauer's mission is personal, inspired by his father's Parkinson's diagnosis linked to chemicals.The innovative robots weed and feed crops, helping farmers transition to regenerative practices.Greenfield Robotics is scaling operations and raising capital via StartEngine crowdfunding.Clint's relentless perseverance drives his mission to revolutionize agriculture for farmers and consumers alike.Guest ProfileClint Brauer (he/him):Founder & Head of Product, Greenfield RoboticsAbout Greenfield Robotics: Greenfield Robotics is revolutionizing weed control with autonomous farming robots designed to reduce operational and maintenance costs while removing herbicides from the process. Demand has been exceptional: Our entire fleet is sold out this year and with reservations already filled for 2026, our BOTONY™ fleet of robots is helping drive our mission to eliminate all chemicals from farming and food.Website: greenfieldincorporated.comCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/greenfieldroboticsInstagram Handle: @greenfieldrobotics Other URL: startengine.com/offering/greenfield-roboticsBiographical Information: Clint is a third-generation regenerative farmer turned agtech entrepreneur, with deep roots in Midwest agriculture and a career spanning both broad-acre and greenhouse growing. Before returning fully to farming, he was an early data science systems pioneer at Sony, where he helped launch Sony's e-book systems in North America. He later bridged technology and agriculture by creating a regeneratively grown ingredients supply chain for Canidae Pet Food, proving that scalable, soil-first farming models can succeed inside global consumer brands.Clint's work is deeply personal. His father developed Parkinson's disease after years of chemical exposure on their family farm and ultimately passed away from it—a tragedy echoed across the Midwest, where Parkinson's rates among farmers over 50 have reached epidemic levels linked to long-term herbicide and pesticide use. Greenfield Robotics was born from this reality and a single driving question: What if we could farm without poisoning the people who feed us? Today, Clint is building technology to remove toxic chemicals from agriculture, protecting farmers, restoring soil, and redefining what modern farming can—and must—be.LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/clintbrauerThe Super Crowd, Inc., a public benefit corporation, is proud to have been named a finalist in the media category of the impact-focused, global Bold Awards.Support Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.

Learn how Forms Logic, a cloud-based fintech platform built exclusively for financial services firms, is revolutionizing client onboarding, account opening, and advisor transitions. In this episode of the Model FA podcast, CEO David DeCelle interviews Joel Friedman, the Chief Operating Officer of Forms Logic, who shares his 25 years of experience in wealth tech. Discover how the Navigator product eliminates paper-oriented, manual processes and single-handedly ensures single data entry and the use of the most updated, correct forms, dramatically reducing Not In Good Order (NIGO) rates from up to 50% down to the low single digits. Joel also details how the Migrator product streamlines advisor transitions, turning a typically 60- to 90-day process into a three-to-four-week preparation period, which is critical because "time kills deals" and means assets are deployed faster to generate income. Forms Logic is focused on streamlining front and back office operations for broker-dealers, RIAs, and wealth managers to free up capacity for organic growth. In this episode: • Meet the Expert: Joel Friedman, a long-time expert (25 years!) in the technology used by financial companies, especially known for his 20+ years at Docupace. • The Solution: A tool called "Forms Logic Navigator" that solves the huge problem of too much paperwork in wealth management. • The Problem: Opening new client accounts is slow and full of mistakes because people have to manually fill out and check forms, often typing the same information (like a name) over and over. • The "Magic" of Single Entry: Forms Logic's Navigator lets you enter a client's information just once, and it automatically fills out all the necessary forms. • Fewer Mistakes: The system drastically cuts down on forms that are "Not In Good Order" (NIGO)—meaning they're incomplete or incorrect—from a very high 30-50% down to almost none. • Easy Advisor Moves (Migrator): Forms Logic's Migrator makes it much faster and simpler for financial advisors to switch firms and bring all their clients with them, cutting a 60-90 day process down to just a few weeks. • Why Quickness Pays Off: Moving assets faster means they start earning money sooner, which boosts income and keeps clients happier. • Complete Workflow Automation: The platform handles everything from the forms the advisor fills out (front office) to the processing and checking done by the company (back office), creating a seamless, streamlined process. • The Main Advantage: By automating and simplifying operations, the firm and its advisors have more time and energy to focus on finding new clients and growing the business. #FinancialServicesTechnology #WealthManagementSolutions #AdviserTechnology #FormsAutomation #FintechInnovation #BusinessEfficiency #ClientOnboardingSolutions #AdvisorTransitions #FintechForAdvisors #FormsLogic #WealthTech #NIGOSolutions Connect with Joel Friedman / Forms Logic: Website: formslogic.com --- About the Model FA Podcast The Model FA podcast is a show for fiduciary financial advisors.

Darlene spent months watching BBM before joining. She was already active with yoga and barre, but strength training felt intimidating and lifting heavy weights felt like something meant for other people. She also felt pressure to have everything perfectly lined up before starting, including her schedule, her nutrition, and her confidence.We sit down and talk about what changed once she committed to a structured home setup and a clear plan. Instead of commuting to a gym, she built consistency in her basement. Instead of vague healthy eating, she followed a simple nutrition structure that includes foods she actually eats, including bread and potatoes. The result was more strength, steady energy, and sleep that finally improved.We talk about:* Moving from yoga and barre into progressive strength training at 49* Setting up and using a cold basement home gym consistently* Rebuilding nutrition after years of restriction by bringing carbs back in* Why live Zoom training gives her better form feedback than in-person sessions* Eliminating the late-day energy crash and improving sleep quality* Training around family schedules while keeping her hour non-negotiableIf you see yourself in Darlene's story and you're ready to stop waiting for perfect conditions, DM me or book your Coffee & Goals consultation here:

Alternative meat looks like it is collapsing. Startups are shutting down, funding is drying up, and headlines are calling the category finished, but that reaction may reflect a misunderstanding of how technological revolutions actually unfold. Bruce Friedrich, President of the Good Food Institute and author of Meat: How the Next Agricultural Revolution Will Transform Humanity's Favorite Food and Our Future, explains why most people will not change behavior for values alone, why price and taste are the real adoption gates, and why "only" $3 billion in cultivated meat funding is far smaller than it sounds when spread across years and companies. Paul and Bruce discuss what it will take to reach taste and price parity, why governments increasingly view alternative protein as food security and national security infrastructure, and why today's failures can be a normal feature of early-stage category formation rather than proof the model will not work. You will leave with a clearer, more evidence-driven view of what is happening now and what progress actually looks like. Things You Will Learn: How taste and price parity shape S-curve adoption in food, regardless of ethics or intent Why $3B in cultivated meat investment may be insufficient relative to comparable industrial innovation cycles How food security, geopolitical risk, and economic competitiveness are driving government interest in alternative protein Tools & Frameworks Covered: S-Curve Adoption – helps evaluate whether setbacks are normal in scaling technologies Eliminating the Green Premium – helps frame what it takes for sustainable products to win at mass-market scale B2B Enablement Strategy – helps identify leverage points that unlock category-wide progress #BusinessForGood #SustainableBusiness #FutureOfFood #AlternativeProtein #PrecisionFermentation
This week on the Mark Levin Show, the Iranian people desire freedom amid starvation and lack of water under a fundamentalist Islamic regime that spreads terrorism, including attempts to assassinate President Trump, and must be destroyed to prevent further threats, as either terrorists are killed or they kill others. Eliminating this regime aligns with U.S. national security interests, benefiting allies by impacting China, Russia, and Venezuela, without aiming to install democracy but occasionally aiding others when it serves mutual goals, countering the mindset of inaction. The young people in Iran are freedom fighters battling a genocidal regime and abandoning them worsens global threats like those from communist China, ultimately harming the United States. Regimes such as Iran, China, Cuba, and North Korea are fascistic feudal systems masquerading as people's revolutions, fueled by fraudulent ideologies like Marxism, socialism, and communism. There's a noticeable absence of U.S. protests by Marxist-Islamists and woke neo-fascists in support of the thousands slaughtered in Iran, despite their professed concern for rights. Also, the war on ICE is a war on American citizens, driven by illegal aliens who claim rights to residency, welfare benefits, tax subsidies, and jobs while refusing to leave. There are highly organized, radical, violent Marxists and ethnic front groups who are obstructing their removal, which undermines borders and leads to children of illegals becoming citizens who vote Democrat. There are also avenues for civil action against individual perpetrators. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
On Monday's Mark Levin Show, the Iranian people desire freedom amid starvation and lack of water under a fundamentalist Islamic regime that spreads terrorism, including attempts to assassinate President Trump, and must be destroyed to prevent further threats, as either terrorists are killed or they kill others. Eliminating this regime aligns with U.S. national security interests, benefiting allies by impacting China, Russia, and Venezuela, without aiming to install democracy but occasionally aiding others when it serves mutual goals, countering the mindset of inaction. If that regime survives, it will be the greatest missed opportunity against terrorism and an avowed terror state ever. Diplomacy and negotiations are ridiculous words in the context of what's happening in Iran and what's happening to those brave people. Also, America is unraveling, with its founding principles under assault by groupism—all largely attributed to Democrats seeking permanent institutional control, as evidenced by attempts to imprison Trump and dominate culture, media, academia, entertainment, and science. The Democrat Party aims to undermine the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Electoral College, Supreme Court, and separation of powers while abusing the rule of law against opponents. Meanwhile, enemies within seek to replace the Republican Party with neo-fascist or Islamist variants, targeting all citizens, though they have failed so far; great republics collapse internally. Later, Sen Elizabeth Warren advocates for Democrats to embrace economic populism to regain ground in the 2026 midterms by focusing on lowering costs for families, mirroring Trump's messaging. Warren is a Marxist and populism is a leftist concept leading to socialism and tyranny, incompatible with the Constitution. Republicans need to counter Democrat by highlighting their failures in taxes, inflation, immigration, energy shortages, and Obamacare, while rejecting populism in favor of constitutional conservatism to win midterms and build trust.
