Background - The role of Grandparents has changed over the years. It used to be a clear separation between their generation, their kids, and the grandkids.How did the roles get mixed up? There are many possible answers to this but here are some of the more common reasons that we see in our office. Parents are not present or available so the grandparents have no choice but to step in and raise the child.Parents need more than a little help in raising their children. Many families have both parents working and they still require child-care.  Grandparents are often a cheaper and convenient solution to this need.Parents lack confidence and understanding of their parenting role and are quick to hand it over to a trusted family member. Confusion in the roles leads to problems.  Every parent comes with a different personality and style of parenting.  Unity among the authorities can be broken.  Kids look for the easiest way to satisfy their desires. Advice - Emphasize the importance of a well-connected and healthy family structure in which all generations are present and in their proper role. Avoid placing people into roles that do not allow them to be where they are in life.  Just like we don't ask the child to be an adult, we don't ask grandparents to be regular parents. Honor all three generations in your family. Celebrate the child, the parent, and the grandparent.  Especially teach this to your children. Establish authority levels in the life of the child.  One of the tenets of a Christian life is to learn proper and appropriate submission. Modeling this in the family is their first opportunity of what it looks like to submit to God's authority. As the parents, you establish the Ways of your house.  You hope that anyone connected to your family will honor those ways, but at the end of the day, you are the one responsible for your family. Here are some key biblical themes and verses that apply to honoring grandparents:1. Honoring Parents (which extends to grandparents): The Fifth Commandment is the most direct instruction:Exodus 20:12: "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you." This commandment lays the groundwork for respecting those who raised you, and by extension, those who raised your parents.Proverbs 23:22: "Listen to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old." This emphasizes continued respect and care as parents (and grandparents) age.2. Respect for the Elderly: The Bible consistently calls for reverence towards older individuals due to their wisdom and experience.Leviticus 19:32: "You shall stand up before the gray head and honor the face of an old man, and you shall fear your God: I am the Lord." This verse directly commands respect for the aged. "Gray hair is a crown of splendor; it is attained in the way of righteousness" Challenge -  Reflect on how your family dynamics are currently operating. Discern whether or not it is healthy and what you want for your family.  https://rocksolidfamilies.orgSupport the show#Rocksolidfamilies, #familytherapy, #marriagecounseling, #parenting, #faithbasedcounseling, #counseling, #Strongdads, #coaching, #lifecoach, #lifecoaching, #marriagecoaching, #marriageandfamily, #control, #security, #respect, #affection, #love, #purpose, #faith, #affairs, #infidelity

Your restaurant's most powerful marketing tool? The menu. In this episode, the team dives deep into one of the most overlooked yet powerful tools in your restaurant: the menu. From visual psychology and printing strategies to layout, material choices, and pricing tactics, this conversation is packed with practical tips to help you treat your menu like what it truly is—your #1 marketing and sales tool. You'll walk away with insights on font choices, color psychology, menu engineering, printing vendors, and even why leaving drink prices off the menu can increase profits. If you've ever shrugged off menu updates as an expense, this episode will change your mindset—and maybe even your margins. Key Takeaways: Your Menu Is Not an Expense—It's an Investment It's the first thing guests engage with when deciding how much to spend. A thoughtful, clean, and well-printed menu elevates perception and drives higher check averages. Design & Readability Matter Font size, layout, paper quality, and cleanliness all shape the guest's impression. Use negative space, legible fonts, and layout strategies like the Golden Triangle to drive selection. Strategic Printing Choices Use a local printer when possible—consider bartering or partnerships. Evaluate in-house printing if you need frequent updates. Menu holders, sleeves, and material durability should match your concept. Proven Profit Tips Use high-quality food photos for best-sellers (especially on laminated or in-house menus). Leave beverage prices off for pricing flexibility. Add visual cues to highlight high-margin items. Common Mistakes to Avoid Dirty or outdated menus, inconsistent updates, typos, or cluttered layouts. Overloading with too many items, especially in smaller operations. Practical Tools & Tech Use AI (like ChatGPT) to help write compelling, accurate menu descriptions. Establish an SOP for menu changes across online platforms, third-party apps, and POS systems.

In this episode of Room to Grow, Joanie and Curtis continue the season 5 series on the Mathematics Teaching Practices from NCTM's Principles to Actions, celebrating its 10th anniversary. This month's practice is “Establish Mathematics Goals to Focus Learning.” This is defined as follows:Effective teaching of mathematics establishes clear goals for the mathematics that students are learning, situates goals within learning progressions, and uses the goals to guide instructional decisions. In today's conversation, our hosts unpack the key components of this principle. First, they discuss how learning goals, focused on important mathematical understandings, differ from procedural, process goals, which may include skills and procedures that are not directly connected to the underlying mathematical concepts. Next, the discussion turns to situating goals within a learning progression, which helps teachers stay focused on what is relevant to their grade level or course, and provides a venue for students to be active in their progress toward learning. Finally, effective mathematics goals guide instructional decisions, helping educators know which tangents to explore and which are distractions from the intended learning. We hope you enjoy the conversation, and that it extends your thinking on mathematics goals for learning. Additional referenced content includes:·       NCTM's Principles to Actions·       NCTM's Taking Action series for grades K-5, grades 6-8, and grades 9-12·       NCTM's myNCTM forums (membership required).·       How learning goals serve as a guide – NCTM Teaching Children Mathematics blog post·       Rachel Harrington's appearance on the Math Learning Center podcast/blog discussing mathematical goals Did you enjoy this episode of Room to Grow?

This Podcast Is Episode 628, And It's About Efficient Payroll Implementation For Construction Business Owners mplementing an effective payroll system is crucial for construction business owners, as it directly impacts project management, employee satisfaction, and overall financial health. Given the complexities of the construction industry, including varying pay rates, overtime requirements, and the need for certified payroll reports, developing a streamlined payroll process is essential.    Here are some steps to consider:   1. Determine Payroll Needs: Assess the size of your workforce (hourly vs. salaried employees). Identify the types of workers (e.g., subcontractors, full-time employees) and ensure your payroll system can handle various pay rates and classifications.   2. Choose the Right Payroll Software: Look for software that caters to the construction industry's needs, including support for job costing, lien waivers, and compliance with prevailing wage laws. Ensure it has features for tracking time worked, overtime, and benefits. 3. Set Up Employee Information:  Gather necessary documentation for all employees, including W-4 forms, identification, and relevant licenses.  Enter employee data into the payroll system, including their pay rates, tax information, and benefits enrollment. 4. Establish a Time Tracking System: Implement a reliable method for tracking hours worked. This can be done via paper timesheets, digital time clocks, or mobile apps. Ensure the method complies with labor regulations regarding work hours and overtime.   5. Understand Payroll Tax Obligations:  Familiarize yourself with federal, state, and local payroll taxes, including Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment.  Set up an account with the IRS and pay estimated taxes regularly to avoid penalties.   6. Communicate with Your Team: Educate your employees about how the payroll system works, including how to report hours worked and any deductions they may see. Keep an open line of communication for any payroll-related questions or concerns.   7. Run Payroll: Determine a payroll schedule (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly) that best suits your business needs. Process payroll on time, ensuring accurate calculations for hours worked, overtime, and deductions.   8. Maintain Compliance: Stay updated with labor laws and regulations specific to the construction industry to avoid compliance issues. Keep records of payroll transactions and employee information for audit purposes.   9. Review and Adjust: Regularly review your payroll processes for efficiency and accuracy. Make adjustments as needed to enhance effectiveness and address any emerging issues. Consider soliciting employee feedback about the payroll process to identify any areas for improvement.   By following these steps, construction contractor business owners can implement a payroll system that meets their operational needs and effectively supports their workforce.    Now, what if you already have a system in place? Upgrading or changing your payroll system offers numerous significant benefits. Saving time and money, making everyone's lives easier, and improving integration are good reasons to consider a change.   But if the switch is mishandled, the results can be catastrophic and lead to long-lasting problems. So, please make sure that you allocate the project the time it requires. While some people may indeed enjoy coming to work, earning money is the main reason most people seek employment. Our jobs make the world go round, supporting us and our families so that we can afford everything else in life.   Not receiving payment correctly is a significant issue for your crew. As a construction business owner, you want to ensure your employees are paid sufficiently and on time. This protects your business and their happiness.   Changing payroll systems is a huge undertaking. Many moving parts and people will be affected. Ensure that this project receives the time and attention it deserves. Determine what will be necessary to make the transition, understand who it affects, and communicate with everyone involved. The planning process is critical. Treat it as the foundation to making the switch, and the rest will fall into place.   The primary motivation for implementing a new payroll system is to simplify processes. Yet, many construction businesses overlook how their new technology can help. It's easy to lean on old methods for getting things done because they're familiar, but that would be a mistake when switching to a new payroll system.   Ensure you are familiar with and understand the features of your new platform. The real-time, monetary, and energy savings will be realized here. Automate anything you can. When these tools prove their worth, your team will understand the rationale behind the switch.   That is why we're here.

Furthermore, integrating payroll with project management and job costing enables better tracking of labor expenses and profitability for each project.    Deciding to change your payroll system is a big undertaking. But with some planning and preparation, it can be a smooth and rewarding transition.   For construction business owners, investing in a robust payroll solution means gaining a competitive edge, improving operational efficiency, and creating a positive work environment that fosters employee loyalty and productivity.

Expectations for financial support from children in Caribbean families can be very different than in the States. Be honest with your family back home about your financial situation to manage expectations effectively. Establish clear financial plans for supporting family members back home to avoid misunderstandings. It's essential to verify that funds sent home are used for their intended purpose, especially when building homes. Community support in Caribbean cultures is strong, often leading to a more interconnected relationship with neighbors compared to American norms.

For the final episode in our Anthropy special series, we speak with Paul Nowak, General Secretary of the Trades Union Congress (TUC), representing 48 unions and 5.5 million workers across every sector of the UK economy. Paul shares a powerful perspective on ensuring a just transition to a sustainable economy, drawing on his personal experience growing up in Merseyside during the industrial changes of the 1980s and 1990s. He discusses the importance of bringing workers to the table when planning for sustainability transitions, the role public services can play in reducing emissions, and why skills development is crucial to sustainable economic transformation. Paul argues that without fairness at the heart of the transition, we risk having no transition at all.

In this episode of the Econ Dev Show, host Dane Carlson speaks with Deb Brown, co-founder of Save Your Town and author of "From Possibilities to Reality: How to Save Your Small Town." They discuss Brown's workbook-style approach to small town economic development, sharing practical examples of community revitalization, including movie theater revitalization as an economic driver. Brown offers insights on addressing resistance to change by exploring what people truly valued about their towns in the past, and provides actionable strategies for community members who want to make a difference in their small towns. Like this show? Please leave us a review here (https://econdevshow.com/rate-this-podcast/) — even one sentence helps! Actionable Takeaways for Economic Developers Implement the "idea friendly method" to bypass traditional committee bureaucracy and mobilize community-driven economic development projects. Organize "Tour of Empty Buildings" events to showcase vacant commercial spaces and connect potential business owners with available properties. Focus on attracting and supporting local businesses to expand into empty downtown spaces rather than solely pursuing large outside employers. Create accessible maps and resources that showcase available commercial properties to potential investors and entrepreneurs. Engage residents outside the "usual suspects" (city officials, chamber members) by hosting informal idea-gathering sessions at local coffee shops or breweries. When communities resist change, dig into what they specifically valued about the past to identify the core needs that modern solutions can address. Develop sustainable business models for community assets (like movie theaters) that create real employment rather than relying exclusively on volunteers. Establish clear pathways from idea generation to implementation that don't require formal committee formation or extensive bureaucratic processes. Prioritize filling downtown vacancies with businesses that serve current community needs while preserving historical character. Leverage success stories from similar small towns as proof-of-concept examples when pitching new development ideas to stakeholders and building owners. Special Guest: Deb Brown.

CTO Series: Jussi Mononen on the Human Side of Software Development and Technical Leadership In this CTO Series episode, we explore the intersection of technology and people with Jussi Mononen, CTO of CarbonLink. Drawing from his extensive experience as an Agile practitioner and technical leader, Jussi shares valuable insights on effective software development, technical strategy alignment, and the critical human elements that drive successful technology implementations. The Transformative Power of Agile "It's all about people." Jussi's journey as a technology leader was fundamentally shaped when he discovered Agile methodologies. Coming from a background of waterfall-like approaches to software development, the introduction of Agile principles opened up a broader perspective that transformed his view of the profession. What began as technical work creating billing software evolved into a deeper understanding of the collaboration challenges in problem-solving. This shift helped Jussi develop a more humanistic and holistic approach to software development, recognizing that the human dynamics are often more complex than the technical challenges themselves. Every line of code eventually becomes a liability, as software is maintained over decades Software is only truly "done" when you remove the plug and it no longer exists Direct communication with customers is essential for understanding the real problems that need solving Balancing Technical Strategy with Business Needs "Be careful what you choose in terms of technology as you need to maintain it forever—hopefully." Creating a technical strategy that aligns with business objectives while remaining adaptable requires careful consideration of both immediate and long-term factors. Jussi emphasizes the importance of considering maintainability over a decade-long horizon while organizing technology stacks that don't limit organizational agility. When selecting technologies, consider whether you can find people already familiar with your tech stack Evaluate whether your technology choices allow you to fulfill the responsibilities your customers pay you to handle Be prepared to abandon technologies that aren't working, despite the sunk cost Structure your technical organization to maximize speed and adaptability Fostering Collaboration Between Tech and Business "It's not about 'who wins,' it's about making good decisions." Effective collaboration between technical and business units is built on foundations of respect and trust. As a self-described optimist about humanity, Jussi approaches cross-functional work by giving respect to colleagues and trusting them to make sound decisions within their domains of expertise. Listen carefully to people and make a genuine effort to understand their perspectives Focus on making well-considered decisions rather than striving for theoretical "best" decisions Remember that people develop software, not processes or tools—maximize each team member's potential Create environments where differing viewpoints are valued as inputs to better decision-making Strategic Roadmapping and Adaptability "We constantly seek information about what might be changing." Maintaining a clear vision of the future while remaining adaptable is a critical balancing act for technology leaders. Jussi's approach involves maintaining a rolling two-quarter roadmap that provides directional clarity while incorporating new information and signals from various sources. Review and revise roadmaps weekly to incorporate new information Use tools like Trello to maintain lists of priorities and possibilities Actively seek diverse signals about changing requirements and technologies Use the roadmap to communicate investment priorities to stakeholders like the board Overcoming Complex Technical Challenges "Someone needs to give enough love to the items in the backlog." The most significant challenge in Jussi's career came during a 4.5-year project reimplementing critical university systems that had been in use for over 20 years. This complex undertaking highlighted the importance of people skills alongside technical capabilities when managing diverse stakeholders with conflicting needs. Be prepared to handle conflicting needs and requirements from different stakeholders Establish a shared direction before attempting to solve detailed technical challenges Recognize that many critical challenges in large projects are about people, not technology Give proper attention to backlog items to ensure they receive the consideration they deserve Leadership Philosophy and Learning "Choose the context more accurately. Involve yourself with people you look up to." Rather than pointing to a single book that influenced his approach to technical leadership, Jussi emphasizes the importance of context and learning from those around you. His leadership philosophy centers on carefully selecting environments with admirable people and absorbing knowledge through direct experience and observation. Understand the specific context you're operating in before applying generic principles Surround yourself with people whose approach and values you respect Learn continuously from the practical experiences of peers and colleagues About Jussi Mononen Jussi is a problem solver, programmer and business-to-technology translator. People side of software systems development, as he often says: "it's all about people".He has both tech and people street cred, being a long time Agile practitioner, and now the CTO of a promising scale-up in Helsinki: CarbonLink.

Summary Dr. Elisa Chiang discussed strategies for creating predictability in unpredictable economic times, emphasizing that the fundamentals of the economy are generally sound, with current uncertainty stemming from external factors. She highlighted the importance of understanding economic interrelations and the potential impact of challenging international relationships. Dr. Chiang suggested that individuals and businesses should evaluate their dependencies and explore ways to become more self-reliant. For physicians, this includes recognizing the value of their skills and exploring options beyond traditional employment, such as private practice or becoming invaluable within their current roles. She also emphasized the importance of diversifying income streams and managing personal finances to reduce reliance on a single paycheck. The conversation also covered strategies for physicians to increase their income, such as specializing in high-value procedures, leveraging support staff, and improving efficiency. Dr. Chiang advised questioning fixed mindsets, challenging existing beliefs, and experimenting with new approaches to adapt to unpredictable times. She also discussed tax planning, investment strategies, and the importance of maintaining a long-term perspective when dealing with market volatility. For those nearing retirement, she recommended assessing risk tolerance, diversifying portfolios, and building a cash cushion. Dr. Chiang offers one-on-one coaching to help individuals navigate their financial situations and achieve their financial goals. Her podcast, 'Grow Your Wealthy Mindset,' provides financial literacy in bite-sized pieces, helping listeners build the knowledge and mindset needed to create financial stability. Chapters Introduction to Predictability in Unpredictable Times Elisa Chiang was invited to discuss creating predictability in unpredictable economic times. The discussion is framed as non-political, focusing on the factual unpredictability of the world. The goal is to provide strategies for individuals to make their financial situations more predictable. Economic Fundamentals and Global Interdependence Chiang stated that the fundamentals of the economy are still good, unlike the issues in 2008 with banking regulation. The current uncertainty is attributed to the actions and statements of certain individuals. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the complexities of economics and global interrelations. Anytime decisions are made from an independent place, you start to realize we're actually not independent at all. Challenging Independence and Embracing Interdependence Chiang suggests challenging the idea of complete independence and recognizing interdependence on others. Asking questions about dependencies and self-reliance is valuable, but actions must be carefully considered. Many people feel dependent on their paycheck, but physicians have options due to the physician shortage. Separating the ability to produce income from the current job can create stability. Creating Independence and Managing Control The discussion covers the mentality behind creating a private practice and the desire for independence. It's noted that even in private practice, there is still interdependence on systems and people. The focus should be on how to become independent and self-determining results in situations where you don't have control over all of these things. It's important to understand what you can and can't control. Strategies for Exerting Independence Chiang suggests becoming an entrepreneur within your job to make yourself invaluable. This involves attracting patients directly and highlighting your value to the practice or institution. Employers care about generating income, so making yourself invaluable in this area is crucial. Taking care of personal finances and creating multiple income streams reduces reliance on a single paycheck. Translating Value into Income The inherent value of experience, training, and knowledge is highlighted. Physicians translate this value into income through their actions. The trap of trading time for money limits income potential unless value is translated into different income streams. The discussion explores ways physicians can generate income outside the classic RVU model. Increasing Income within the Physician Realm Specializing in specific procedures or surgeries can elevate income. Leveraging other people, such as nurse practitioners, can double clinic output. Hiring scribes can increase productivity and collections. Physicians should work at the top of their income level, delegating tasks to others. Mindset Shifts for Unpredictable Times Adopting a growth mindset can help individuals respond more effectively in unpredictable times. Questioning current beliefs and challenging the status quo is important. Comparing oneself to others who are thriving can provide insights and motivation. Willingness to spend money to make money and accepting failure are key to success. Helping Individuals Deal with Change Questioning the truth of current situations and exploring potential changes is crucial. Experimenting with small changes and learning from others can lead to improvements. Advocating for necessary resources, such as dedicated scrub techs, can increase efficiency. Believing in the potential for change and presenting a clear case for it is essential. Financial Viability in Private Practice A simple formula for private practice success is income minus expenses minus tax burden. All three factors can be influenced in different ways. Leveraging people, doing more cases, and optimizing income streams are ways to increase income. Tax burden can be managed through various strategies. Tax Planning and Side Businesses Every time is unpredictable, so framing the mindset accordingly is important. The more we think like, yeah, the world is doing whatever it's worlding. The world is doing whatever it's doing. We can make our own predictivity, then we don't have to keep thinking like, oh, it's unpredictable, and we have no way to affect it. It's just always unpredictable. As a W-2 employee, there are limited options for tax reduction. Having a side business can provide opportunities to write off personal expenses. Side hustles should align with passions and translate into value and money. Time Management and Productivity Finding something else that you need to find you having to find more time in order to do something helps you structure your time so that you are most efficient with your time. Limited time resources require careful management. Calendaring and time-blocking can improve efficiency. Having a list of tasks that can be done in 10-15 minute intervals can boost productivity. Managing Retirement Funds If retirement is 10 years or more away, continue with the financial plan and consider contributing more. Maximize retirement accounts and explore other savings options. Buying stocks when they are on sale can be a great strategy. Establish a risk tolerance and adjust investment strategies accordingly. Investment Strategies and Risk Tolerance The stock market tends to go up over time, especially with more people investing. Investing during downturns can lead to better outcomes. Even in retirement, there is still a long investing career ahead. Avoid panic selling and maintain a long-term perspective. Retirement Planning and Withdrawal Rates Assess investment strategies and consider shifting to a more conservative portfolio if nearing retirement. Develop a cash cushion to avoid selling stocks during the first few years of retirement. Understand what money is for and focus on enjoyment and security. Consider a Monte Cristo analysis to assess the chances of running out of money. Dr. Chang's Coaching and Podcast Chiang offers one-on-one coaching to help individuals reach their financial goals.

The lost discipline of waiting on God is one that men of old deeply valued, filling their journals with reflections on solitude. Today, however, we are consumed by distraction and the fear of missing out. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar talk about how the rise of social media and smartphones has contributed to the loss of silence and solitude, which are vital to the Christian life. Silence forces us to confront our hearts—our struggles with working on salvation rather than working it out. Instead of facing our darkest thoughts, we use digital distractions as an escape. When we wait on God, we experience revival, healing, and conviction. Practicing solitude requires discipline, as our minds constantly race with thoughts, often without us realizing the noise surrounding us. True stillness is an intentional quieting of the soul before God.Knowing God is more than knowing scripture—it's abiding in Him. Silence invites us to see God as He sees us, to cease striving, and to recognize His presence. In Mark 6, Jesus told His disciples to step away after their missionary journey. This teaches us that spiritual strength comes from intentional rest in God's presence. How do we practically apply this? Scripture should be incorporated into prayer. The secular world promotes mindfulness, but Christian  solitude is not about emptying the mind—it's about filling it with God's thoughts. The devil's greatest weapon is busyness, distracting us from true communion with God. We often create our plans and ask God to bless them instead of waiting in silence to hear Him speak.Our deepest yearning is to connect with the One whose image we bear. Yet, our phones keep us in a state of constant stimulation, making true solitude difficult. Practical steps to regain it include taking walks without a phone, setting screen-free times in the morning or before bed, and leaving devices behind when going into nature. This is not about emptying the mind but filling it with God's promises. Silence before God is an opportunity to recalibrate, much like any precise measurement tool that requires alignment with a definite standard. How do we cultivate solitude in a world of distractions? Establish accountability, identify distractions, and reorder priorities. If entertainment takes up our time, adjust it to prioritize time with God. Applying these principles will be difficult. Our hearts remain restless until they rest in God. True solitude takes time and effort, but we must persist. The reward is a deep, abiding relationship with the Lord, free from the noise that seeks to pull us away.Send us a textThanks for listening!

In this episode of the Contractor Growth Network podcast, Logan Shinholser sits down with Kyle Hunt, remodeling business coach and founder of Remodelers on the Rise. Kyle breaks down his signature "Remodelers Roadmap"—a six-system framework designed to simplify and strengthen every core aspect of a remodeling business. From financials and marketing to people and operations, Kyle shares actionable advice and mindset shifts that help remodelers move from chaos to clarity in their business strategy. Key Takeaways: Start with Strong Financials Kyle emphasizes that a healthy remodeling business begins with financial clarity: Understand job costing, gross vs. net profit, and pricing strategy. Establish a solid financial foundation to support sustainable growth. Avoid burnout by making your business serve your life—not the other way around. Marketing Isn't Optional—It's the Engine Kyle shares how too many remodelers treat marketing like a side task instead of a strategic priority: Every business owner must be a student of marketing—even if they're not executing it directly. Build a clear marketing plan and pair it with a defined budget. Track lead sources consistently to make data-backed decisions. Sales Requires a Repeatable Process A wishy-washy sales approach leaves clients confused and kills conversion: Define your “This is how we work” process in 3–5 clear steps. Display your sales process on your website and reinforce it in person. Charging for design becomes easier when clients understand the value and flow. Production Is About More Than the Build Kyle urges remodelers to elevate the client experience from day one on the job site: Pre-construction meetings are essential to set expectations and avoid surprises. A systematic “final 5%” process ensures projects end as strong as they start. Communication, cleanliness, and consistency are critical soft skills on the job. Your People System Drives Your Success The quality of your remodeling business is directly tied to the quality of your team: Empower team members with 1-on-1s, leadership development, and capacity checks.

If your pig nips, charges, or challenges you, you're not alone. The key to fixing it is understanding why it happens. Pigs live by a strict hierarchy, and aggression usually comes from one of several reasons.       Fear-Based Aggression – New or rehomed pigs may lash out because they feel scared or cornered. Building trust with patience and positive reinforcement is key.      Spoiled Pig Syndrome – Pigs given too much freedom and not enough boundaries start to believe they are in charge. The fix? Establish yourself as the leader by setting clear rules and making them work for their food.      Hierarchy Challenges – Young pigs, especially around one to two years old, naturally test boundaries to move up in the herd. Ignoring commands, nipping, or charging are signs they're challenging your authority. Stay consistent and don't back down!      By understanding pig behavior and setting firm but fair rules, you can create a happy, well-adjusted pet.
