Everything good starts with the soil and a conservation stewardship mindset. In the 101st episode, Dr. Summer Thomas, education and outreach specialist with the Virginia Soil Health Coalition, explains how agriculture and soil health are good for everyone. As a third-generation farmer from Delaware, former watermelon queen, a trained soil scientist and educator, and an overall advocate for agriculture, Summer shares some of her earliest experiences of 4-H and FFA with Jeff, Mary, and Eric in public speaking, youth education, and land stewardship.These early education and outreach experiences were a launch point for her passion for agriculture and career pursuit.Ā Summer emphasizes that soil health and agriculture provide many positive community connections and must be fun for the next generation of farmers. Additionally, soil health is foundational to resilient farm businesses and systems.Ā Ā As always, we encourage you to cooperate with other farmers, graziers, and gardeners for peer-to-peer learning and to follow the four core soil health principles:Ā 1) Keep the soil covered -- Cover crops are our friends and allies;2) Minimize soil disturbance -- Practice no-till or gentle tillage in your field or garden as much as possible;3) Maximize living roots year-round -- to improve biodiversity, soil structure, and life in the soil; and4) Energize with diversity -- through crop rotation, farm enterprises, and/or livestock integration.Yes, soil health is a great conversation starter. We encourage everyone to have a five-minute conversation about soil every day because we can all be 4 The Soil and for the future!Ā Ā To enjoy recent 4 The Soil blog posts and additional soil health resources, please visit https://www.4thesoil.org/blog and https://www.virginiasoilhealth.org/.

Most of us introduce ourselves with a title: āI'm a coach,ā āI'm a banker,ā āI'm a podcaster.ā The problem with this is that the moment you do that, you've put yourself in the same box as everyone else with that title. Our guest today, Simon Alexander Ong - bestselling author of Energize, international keynote speaker, and award-winning coach - knows this firsthand. For years, he chased job titles he thought would define his success, until he realised that real success and true differentiation come from embracing your whole self.

Today's crossword was an homage to the iconic series STARTREK, which has been around since the 1960s and at this rate seems likely to continue to exist until its actual putative time, in the 2260's.While this likely gave an advantage to trekkies, we suspect that most readers will at least be familiar with the major characters -- and if not, that the crosses would come (as they often do) to the rescue.Besides the crossword, we have selected our JAMCOTWA (Jean And Mike Crossword Of The Week Award), deets inside.Show note imagery: The original STARTREK cast.We love feedback!

In this episode of the podcast, Jeff Ishee chats with Susan Watkins of Watkins Farms in Dinwiddie County Virginia, a 3500 acre farm growing soybeans, corn, and wheat. Susan shares information about the long history of her family far, their transition to cover crops and no till over twenty years ago, and their approach to cover cropping. She shares about the cost and labor savings that have come from transitioning to these practices.Ā Watkins Farms is located in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, which means conservation practices like no-till planting and the use of cover crops have an impact beyond the soil health of the land itself. Farmers play a key role in improving the water quality in the Bay. You can find more info at: https://farmersforsoilhealth.com/success-stories/seven-generations-of-stewardship-with-susan-watkins/Ā As always, we encourage you to cooperate with other farmers and follow the four core soil health principles: 1) Keep the Soil Covered -- Cover crops are our friends; 2) Minimize soil disturbance -- Practice no-till or gentle tillage in your field or garden as much as possible; 3) Maximize living roots year-round -- to improve biodiversity and life in the soil; and 4) Energize with diversity -- through crop rotation and/or livestock integration.

Navigating the CEO Journey: Expert Insights from Loic Potjes of Disruptive LeapIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge speaks with Loic Potjes, Founder and Managing Partner of Disruptive Leap. Loic brings decades of executive experience and coaching insight to the conversation, sharing what it really takes to lead effectively in today's high-pressure business environment. From managing overwhelm and isolation to enhancing team engagement and time mastery, this episode offers a powerful roadmap for CEOs and founders who want to lead with greater clarity, balance, and impact.The CEO's Challenge: Moving from Reactive to Intentional LeadershipLoic opens the conversation with a personal noteāhis love of wine and community, especially as part of a wine club in Johannesburg. For Loic, passion outside of work fosters connection and personal renewalāqualities that matter just as much in leadership. But when the topic turns to the realities of being a CEO, the tone gets deeper: leadership is often lonely, reactive, and draining.He explains how many CEOs find themselves overwhelmed, stuck in the busyness of daily operations, and losing clarity on what truly drives business growth. According to Loic, one of the most effective strategies for reclaiming purpose and focus is to transition from reactive task management to a proactive leadership rhythm. That starts with self-awareness: understanding what energizes you, what drains you, and how to build a team that fills your gaps. By making space for strategic thinking and empowering complementary teams, CEOs can realign with their zone of genius and free themselves from burnout.Loic also discusses the power of consistent communication and engagement. Disengaged teams, he notes, are a global epidemicāwith only 8% of French employees reportedly feeling engaged. To counter this, CEOs must not only lead with clarity but also create environments where employees thrive. Engagement starts at the top, and Loic shares practical steps for CEOs to model intentional leadership while nurturing team motivation and accountability.About Loic PotjesLoic Potjes is the founder and managing partner of Disruptive Leap, where he coaches CEOs and executive teams to lead with clarity, resilience, and impact. Drawing from his extensive background in leadership, Loic helps clients unlock their potential, align their priorities, and scale both personal and professional growth.About Disruptive LeapDisruptive Leap is an executive coaching firm focused on helping CEOs and leadership teams transition from reactive management to high-impact, purpose-driven leadership.

Welcome to the Health Marketing Collective, where strong leadership meets marketing excellence. On today's episode, Sara Payne sits down with Larry Zarin, the former Chief Marketing Officer of Express Scripts, to explore the strategies behind fueling business growth and empowering field sales teams in an ever-crowded market. Larry's journey, which began in entertainment marketing and shifted into two decades of transformative healthcare leadership, is anything but conventional. He's known for injecting unexpected, creative approaches into regulated industriesādeveloping programs that don't just look impressive on paper, but actually move markets, rally teams, and deliver sustainable results. Together, Sara and Larry dive into the guiding principles of relevance and differentiation in marketing, the importance of field force enablement, and why organizations must blend inspiration with practical tools to truly succeed. Larry shares his ābeans and bulletsā philosophyāadapted from military terminologyāas a unique framework for how marketing can effectively support field sales teams beyond just providing air cover or generic collateral. The conversation further explores the powerful concept of ābusiness theaterā and edutainment, and why connecting emotionally with both sales teams and clients is essential for long-term success. Whether you're leading a health marketing function, working to support a field sales force, or looking to sharpen your organization's edge in B2B marketing, Larry's insights offer both strategic depth and practical inspiration for leaders across the industry. Thank you for being part of the Health Marketing Collective, where strong leadership meets marketing excellence. The future of healthcare depends on it. Key Takeaways: Relevance + Differentiation Are the North Stars of Marketing: Larry Zarin emphasizes that impactful marketing always sits at the intersection of relevance (to the client's needs) and differentiation (what sets you apart uniquely). Many organizations mistakenly chase innovation without ensuring it truly matters to their audience (what Larry calls āfool's goldā), or provide only the baseline (ātable stakesā). True marketing power lies in mapping offerings honestly on this spectrum and seeking alignment. Field Force Empowerment Demands More Than Air Cover: Drawing from his ābeans and bulletsā analogy, Larry advocates for marketing to go beyond big-picture branding or generic materials. The field forceāsales and account teamsāneeds substance, practical tools, and inspiration to feel genuinely equipped and proud to represent the company. A strong sense of alignment and support shifts their role from reluctant messengers to enthusiastic ambassadors. Business Theater and Edutainment Drive Engagement: Larry's background in entertainment shines as he discusses the need for ābusiness theaterā in healthcare salesāincorporating storytelling, emotional resonance, and creative presentation techniques to earn the attention of skeptical, often disengaged decision-makers. Edutainment isn't about gimmicks; it's about making serious topics deeply engaging, memorable, and even ābraggable.ā Optimal Sales-Marketing Alignment Builds High Performance: Cultural and organizational alignment between marketing and sales is non-negotiable for success. High-performing organizations have sales teams that ācan't get enough of marketing.ā Marketing isn't a sideline act, but the very source of inspiration and direction that fuels front-line performance. For leaders, bridging any gap is a core responsibility. Thought Leadership Requires Consistency, Creativityāand Courage: When done well, a unique thought leadership platform can set organizations apart and deeply empower the field team. Larry cautions against flavor-of-the-month approaches or relying on...

Public Relations Specialist Elizabeth McMullen and Sustainability Funding and Communications Specialist Garland Mason of Organic Valley Cooperative join Mary and Eric to share about the common ties that are essential to the farmer-owned cooperative. Cooperation and a strong commitment to the sustainability of small and mid-size family farms, local culture, and community are the most basic ties. In this episode, Elizabeth and Garland outline the history of Organic Valley and how the business started as a vegetable cooperative in 1988 and now has over 1,500 dairy farmer-member owners in 29 states with an average herd size of 70 cows per farm.Ā Preserving small family farms was an impetus for Organic Valley's start. In carrying that mission forward, Organic Valley assists farmer member-owners to be sustainable and profitable through on-farm practices such as solar, composting, solid and liquid separation of manure, reduced tillage, and nutrition management to reduce nitrogen, phosphorus, and gas emissions. Most recently, OV farmers have experimented with Agolin Naturu, which is an organic certified enteric feed supplement made of essential oils of coriander, clove, and carrot that results in better fermentation, digestibility, and less burping.To learn more about Organic Valley's commitment to cooperation, sustainability, and soil health, please visit https://www.organicvalley.coop/ Ā The website also provides recipes and a searchable database of Organic Valley farms near you.As always, we encourage you to cooperate with other farmers and follow the four core soil health principles: 1) Keep the Soil Covered -- Cover crops are our friends; 2) Minimize soil disturbance -- Practice no-till or gentle tillage in your field or garden as much as possible; 3) Maximize living roots year-round -- to improve biodiversity and life in the soil; and 4) Energize with diversity -- through crop rotation and/or livestock integration.

They are called UFPs, or "Unexplained Phenomena," and they can range from unidentified flying crafts to paranormal events like telekinesis, the ability to move objects with your mind. The term UFP has replaced 'Unidentified Flying Object', or UFO, to encompass all things possibly witnessed but not explained. In the past few years, Congress has held hearings to hear witness and expert testimony to look into the sometimes unexplained. FOX's Chris Foster speaks with Dr. Julia Mossbridge, the executive director of The Institute for Love and Time (TILT), a fellow at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, and an associated professor at the California Institute of Integral Studies and the author of 'The Calling: A 12-Week Science-Based Program to Discover, Energize, and Engage Your Soul's Work,' who has testified before Congress and says modern day science is catching up with UFP theories for possible answers.
