A few years ago I was given a bottle by Dr. Pat Heist and it made me say Nevada bourbon? And today, we get to hear the story of Frey Ranch with Colby and Ashley Frey. They turned a multi-generational agriculture operation into one of the most respected craft distilleries in the country. Long before the whiskeys, Colby was growing wheat, rye, barley, and corn in the high desert of Fallon, Nevada. Colby takes us through those early days of battline state legislation and assembling their custom Vendome hybrid still system. Meanwhile, Ashley walks us through crafting the brand's packaging, and if you own a bottle you know how heavy the glass bottle and and topper are. But there's a deeper meaning to it and I won't spoil it for you. From meeting in college to balancing rural farm life, raising a family, and navigating the operational pressures of scaling a modern brand, Colby and Ashley give us an inside look at how they divide responsibilities, manage controlled expansion, and roll out their latest releases. Show Notes: How generations of Nevada agriculture paved the way for a 100% estate-grown, grain-to-glass whiskey operation The early legal and legislative battles required to make craft distilling legal in the state of Nevada Designing and assembling a hybrid Vendome still system to achieve both high-volume output and maximum flavor control The story behind Ashley's farm-inspired bottle design, including the iconic bolt topper and belt-buckle label How Colby and Ashley divide leadership responsibilities while raising a family on a working rural ranch Scaling the brand intentionally, expanding into new markets, and what to expect from their upcoming rye releases Learn more about your ad choices.

Hey friends, Chase here. Every summer, I revisit conversations from the archive that have stood the test of time. Not because I'm nostalgic, but because the best ideas don't expire. They deepen. This is another installment of Summer School—episodes I return to when I'm stuck. When a pattern I've been conditioned to see suddenly needs to be broken, I go back to the people who help me think differently. This one with Ben Uyeda is near the top of that list. Ben is a designer, entrepreneur, and creative force of nature who left a successful architecture firm and an Ivy League teaching gig to bring high-design ideas to the masses through media. His designs—widely shared, often free—have reached tens of millions of people and are being built around the world. And his most recent project? A 65-room hotel on 180 acres in the California desert, adjacent to Joshua Tree National Park, built with a team but rooted in the same hands-on curiosity that started with a concrete vase on YouTube. When this episode first aired, I called it one of the most shocking conversations of the year—not because Ben tried to shock anyone, but because I didn't expect it to blow me away. It did. It still does. His superpower is orthogonal thinking. Where most of us see the world through the patterns we've been trained into, Ben keeps asking the next question—about scale, purpose, risk, money, mastery, and what creatives actually want when they say they want "more." This conversation changed how I think about career growth. I think it can change yours too. "Forget scaling. What I think is really intriguing is this idea of escalation." — Ben Uyeda Summer School: Ben Uyeda on Escalation, Purpose, and Building Bigger Without Losing Yourself Ask Ben how he describes what he does, and he keeps it almost stubbornly simple: he designs things and he makes them. Those things range from a small concrete vase to a dining table to homes—and all the way up to Reset Hotel: 65 rooms on 180 acres near Joshua Tree. The leap sounds impossible until you understand his model. Most creatives, Ben argues, get trapped in a false choice. Either you're the solo maker—writing the book, building the table, running the photo shoot—or you're the manager of something massive, taking in everyone's opinions and slowly losing contact with the craft. He thinks the more interesting path sits between them: escalate. Scaling is repeating one thing at higher volume for better margins. Escalation is using each project as practice for a bigger adventure—vase to furniture to staircase to house to hotel—with new skills, collaborators, and risk at every step. There is no clean line from designing a vase to building a hotel. But there are incremental steps. In Ben's case, roughly five years from vase to house. Another five from house to hotel. Each jump maybe 50x to 100x in scale. The next project isn't the destination. It's skill-building—and an opportunity to meet the people you'll need when the economic risk gets larger. That distinction is the heart of this episode. And if you've ever chased "scale" when what you really wanted was growth, challenge, grit, relationships, and a life that still feels like yours, this one will hit hard. What You'll Hear in This Episode How Ben describes his work—from concrete vases to a desert hotel, and why he focuses on the doing Why small creative projects feel like Zen practice—and why bigger ones require learning to pass the ball The tension every creator knows: curiosity and economic safety often feel like they're pulling in opposite directions Scaling vs. escalating—and why most creatives think they want scale when they actually want challenge, skill, and connection The paperclip-to-house Craigslist story as a model for adventurous creative careers Why nature is becoming a luxury good—and how that thesis shaped Reset Hotel Ben's multi-year process for building a point of view: observations, post-its, journaling, and knowing when you're secure enough to ask bigger questions How to borrow pattern recognition from outside your field (Ben's favorite: food) What AI changes—and what it doesn't: reputation, responsibility, and embracing creative fear instead of waiting until you feel safe The story of Reset Hotel, Industry Night for creatives, and why physical immersion may be the next horizon Scale vs. Escalate This is the idea I keep coming back to—and the one that originally made this episode unforgettable. Typical entrepreneurial advice says: find a minimum viable product, then scale. For creatives, Ben says, that model often fails. Scaling optimizes for volume, repetition, and efficiency. Escalation optimizes for adventure: trade the paperclip for the lighter, the lighter for something bigger, and keep going—not by doing the same trade forever, but by graduating the game. Chase's own lived experience lines up with Ben's: escalation built the best things in his life—relationships, skills, grit, humanity. Scaling often decoupled him from those same things. That's the trap. People hear "economic upside" and chase repetition. What many of them actually want is escalating challenge—backstory, resources, personal development, network, connection—the exact texture of a project like building a hotel with your hands, your partners, and your reputation on the line. Ben didn't know this as sage wisdom going in. He learned it. Early ambition and big swings "worked," but felt like speedrunning a video game—fast completion with a strange emptiness afterward. Over time he learned something more useful about himself: his long-range visionary chess game is limited, but his commitment and belief once he chooses a path are incredibly strong. That self-knowledge became the architecture for taking on Reset. Nature as Luxury—and How a Hotel Got Built from a Thesis Ben's confidence in the hotel didn't come from a weekend of inspiration. It came from years of noticing. One signal: between roughly 2013 and 2016, monthly active users on Instagram and visits to national parks both exploded. The attention economy was booming—and simultaneously creating unprecedented demand for its opposite: walking through Yosemite or Joshua Tree, somewhere with little or no cell service. His larger thesis: as digital consumption becomes frictionless, we start craving the analog. The more algorithmically efficient our feeds get, the more we want to throw the phone aside, touch grass, hike, watch a real sunset. Because digital experiences got so good at being artificial, nature itself starts to feel like a scarce luxury—not just a pretty view from a coastal city, but immersive emptiness, dark skies, raw land. That thesis, plus an audience built by sharing design ideas, plus collaborators from craftspeople to investors, plus a shipping-container house project that opened new conversations—those pieces compounded into Reset. Ben is blunt that this kind of vision doesn't arrive as effortless brilliance. It's multi-year. Curious. Plodding. Built from obvious observations written on post-it notes until they start to arrange themselves into a next move. His practical advice for creatives trying to think at that altitude: Don't pour all your curiosity into tools and tactics alone. Also ask the scarier questions: What's my place in this discipline? What's my place in the broader economy? Earn enough security to think. For Ben, around $100k of income was the point where economic stress dropped enough for bigger questions to enter the process—not as luxury branding, but as creative fuel. Look outside your industry. Food is his favorite lens because he has emotional distance plus deep daily connection. Farm-to-table, farmers markets becoming aspirational, celebrities posting chickens instead of Bugattis—he's watching a backlash against efficiency and mass production. Then he asks: what's the design-and-craft version of that for me? Talk it out with peers. The work is often solo. The therapy and pattern recognition are better in community—ideally in person, without a competitive chip on your shoulder.

The creator economy still rewards the idea that the goal is to make one thing and multiply it forever. Platforms still optimize for volume. AI is accelerating that pressure—making certain end products cheaper and more abundant, and making a lot of talented people scared. Ben's counsel isn't "don't worry." It's the opposite. Be scared. Talk to friends. Diversify your thinking. Double down on reputation and responsibility—being the person clients call because you fix problems, even when the brief is imperfect. Accept that fear doesn't vanish when you "make it." Often it gets worse, because you feel like you have more to lose. And that's the trap: postponing the wild, scary, purpose-shaped adventure until you feel safe. Safety delayed often becomes safety that never lets you move. Meanwhile, the deeper trend he named—digital ubiquity creating hunger for physical, immersive, scarce experiences—keeps compounding. Reset Hotel is that thesis made concrete. Industry Night—his informal peer-to-peer gathering for creatives—is another version of the same idea: horizontal connection in a culture that keeps selling top-down scale. Whether you escalate toward something as large as a hotel or simply toward a braver version of your next project, the question remains the same: are you chasing repetition, or are you chasing a life? Keep Going Deeper If this conversation resonates: Reset Hotel: stayreset.com · @reset.hotel Ben online: benuyeda.com · Instagram · HomeMade Modern on YouTube Earlier conversation: Escalate & Evolve: A Blueprint for Career and Life with Ben Uyeda Follow Ben: Instagram | Website | YouTube Questions to Reflect On Am I optimizing for scale (repeat one thing) or escalation (grow into bigger adventures)? What would my "next size up" project be—not 100x overnight, but one honest step beyond what I've already made? Where am I chasing economic certainty in a way that quietly starves my curiosity? What obvious cultural observation have I been noticing—and what would it mean if I took it seriously for my own work? Am I pouring all my curiosity into tools and tactics while avoiding the harder questions about my place in the economy? Where am I postponing a meaningful risk until I "feel safe"—and what might that delay really cost? In an age of AI and infinite digital content, what physical, scarce, or immersive experience could only come from me? The Core Idea Most creatives don't actually want to become a machine that repeats the same win forever. They want a life that escalates: bigger challenges, deeper skills, richer relationships, and work that still feels like craft even when the coordination gets complex. Ben's path—from free design ideas online to a modernist hotel on the edge of Joshua Tree—isn't a prescription to go build hospitality. It's a reminder that purpose compounds through projects. Each one prepares you for the next. Each one brings in the people you'll need later. And the goal isn't to arrive as fast as possible. It's to grow into someone who can hold more risk without abandoning who they are. If there's one lesson worth carrying forward from this Summer School session, it's this: Don't confuse scaling with growing. The creative life you're probably hungry for is escalation—one braver project at a time.

Executives climbing the corporate ladder to the top seem to lose IQ the higher up they get.That might explain why John Deere's top corporate bosses have imposed an astonishingly stupid policy on America's farmers. For years, they've decreed that while a farmer “technically owns” a tractor or other John Deere product, the owner is prohibited from making any repairs when the machinery breaks down, stalls out, etc. Instead, owners must call an authorized Deere dealer to fix what most farmers could handle by themselves.The monopolistic profiteer refuses to make its repair manuals available to customers or local repair shops, so… gotcha!But in 2020, Walter Schweitzer rallied with other mad-as-hell farmers and ranchers to rebel. The Montana rancher's tractor had gone kaput in hay baling season – but, “no,” said a Deere dealer, a technician is not available; and “no,” you can't have access to the diagnostic computer to do it yourself. So, he had to wait weeks before Deere finally got his tractor running – a fairly basic job worth about $600… but they billed Walter nearly $4,000.That's what's called “a monopoly fix.” But they messed with the wrong farmer. Schweitzer, president of the Montana Farmers Union, mobilized grassroots pressure from five states, forcing federal officials to sue Deere. This month, Deere's aloof executives settled that suit, finally letting its farm customers take charge of the equipment that – hello! – they own!Schweitzer points out that this landmark win over the arrogance of Deere executives is just one stepping stone to a right-to-repair law for all products.

Before a farm or ranch moves to the next generation, families have to answer a hard question: is the operation viable enough to support another household? In this episode of the five-part Nebraska FARMcast series on building a farm succession plan, Anastasia Meyer, Extension agricultural economist with the Center for Agricultural Profitability at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, walks through business planning and the family meetings that make a transition work. She covers how to talk openly about financials and debt, who to invite to the table, and the ground rules that keep those conversations productive when the subject matter gets personal.Produced and hosted by Lexi Bodlak, Nebraska Land Link Program Intern.Find resources for farm and ranch transition and estate planning on the Center for Agricultural Profitability's website, https://cap.unl.edu/succession.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Blossoming Dreams: Zsolt's Bold Farm Transformation Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2026-07-18-07-38-19-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A Hortobágyi Nemzeti Park dúsan illatozó levendulamezőin Zsolt, a virágfarm tulajdonosa, gondosan figyelte a növények színpompás tengerét.En: On the fragrant lavender fields of the Hortobágyi Nemzeti Park, Zsolt, the owner of the flower farm, carefully observed the colorful sea of plants.Hu: Az időjárás kegyes volt eddig ezen a nyáron, és a virágok gyönyörűen virultak.En: The weather had been kind so far this summer, and the flowers were blooming beautifully.Hu: Mégis, Zsolt szíve mélyén vágyódott valamire több, mint csupán a megszokott levendulára.En: Yet, deep in his heart, Zsolt longed for something more than just the usual lavender.Hu: Szeretett volna virágokat, amelyek csalogatják az embereket, hogy csodát lássanak.En: He wished for flowers that would entice people to witness a miracle.Hu: Zsolt mellett Judit dolgozott szorgosan.En: Zsolt was accompanied by Judit, who worked diligently beside him.Hu: Hűséges asszisztensként mindig ott állt Zsolt mellett, ha szüksége volt segítségre.En: As a loyal assistant, she was always by Zsolt's side when he needed help.Hu: Judit is érezte a változás iránti vágyat, ezért örömmel figyelte, amint Márta, a botanika szakértője, megérkezett a farm közepére.En: Judit also felt the desire for change, and she watched with joy as Márta, the botanical expert, arrived at the center of the farm.Hu: Márta híres volt az egész régióban.En: Márta was famous throughout the entire region.Hu: Tudása a virágokról felbecsülhetetlen volt.En: Her knowledge of flowers was invaluable.Hu: „Zsolt, Márta itt van, hogy segítsen nekünk,” szólt Judit, amikor Márta mosolyogva közeledett a levendulák között.En: "Zsolt, Márta is here to help us," said Judit as Márta approached, smiling between the lavender.Hu: „Üdvözöllek a farmunkon, Márta!” mondta Zsolt. „Szeretnék tanácsot kérni tőled.En: "Welcome to our farm, Márta," said Zsolt. "I'd like to ask for your advice.Hu: Milyen virágokat ültethetnék még, amelyek jól éreznék magukat a magyar klímában?”En: What other flowers could I plant that would thrive in the Hungarian climate?"Hu: Márta megvizsgálta a talajt, a levegőt, a nap helyzetét.En: Márta examined the soil, the air, and the sun's position.Hu: Azt javasolta, hogy napraforgót és vadvirágokat próbáljanak meg.En: She suggested they try sunflowers and wildflowers.Hu: „Ezek a növények vonzani fogják a turistákat, és szépen kiegészítik a levendulát,” mondta mosolyogva.En: "These plants will attract tourists and nicely complement the lavender," she said with a smile.Hu: Ahogy Zsolt mérlegelte a lehetőségeket, az ég hirtelen elsötétült.En: As Zsolt weighed his options, the sky suddenly darkened.Hu: Egy nyári vihar tört be a távolból, és mindenki a menedékbe sietett.En: A summer storm approached from the distance, and everyone hurried to shelter.Hu: Erős szél tépte a leveleket, és az eső óriási cseppekben zúdult alá.En: Strong winds tore at the leaves, and rain poured down in huge drops.Hu: Zsolt a menedék ablakából figyelte, ahogy a levendulamezőt szinte ellepte a víz.En: Zsolt watched from the shelter's window as the lavender field was almost covered with water.Hu: A jövője, a farm jövője a vihar kezében volt.En: His future, the farm's future, was in the hands of the storm.Hu: „El kell döntenem,” mormolta magának.En: "I have to decide," he murmured to himself.Hu: „De hogy mit tegyek?”En: "But what should I do?"Hu: A vihar másnapra lecsengett, de a károk nyomai megmaradtak.En: The storm subsided by the next day, but the traces of damage remained.Hu: Zsolt, Judit és Márta összegyűltek a mező szélén.En: Zsolt, Judit, and Márta gathered at the edge of the field.Hu: „Most van itt az idő változtatni,” biztatta Judit.En: "Now is the time to change," Judit encouraged.Hu: Zsolt bólintott, erőt és bátorságot merített a többiekből.En: Zsolt nodded, drawing strength and courage from the others.Hu: „Hálás vagyok, hogy itt vagytok velem,” mondta.En: "I'm grateful to have you all here with me," he said.Hu: Elhatározta, hogy nemcsak a levendulát, hanem a Márta által javasolt napraforgót és vadvirágokat is elülteti.En: He decided to plant not only lavender but also the sunflowers and wildflowers suggested by Márta.Hu: Az új növények gyökereiket mélyen a földbe eresztették.En: The new plants rooted deeply into the ground.Hu: Zsolt tudta, hogy kockázatos döntés volt, de most már készen állt arra, hogy összekösse a hagyományos és az új lehetőségeket.En: Zsolt knew it was a risky decision, but he was now ready to connect traditional and new possibilities.Hu: Az új virágok szépsége végül nemcsak a farmot, hanem Zsolt szívét is megérintette.En: The beauty of the new flowers eventually touched not only the farm but also Zsolt's heart.Hu: Miközben a nap ismét kisütött és a mezők új színekkel ragyogtak, Zsolt megérezte, hogy a farm jövője biztos kezekben van.En: As the sun shone again and the fields glowed with new colors, Zsolt felt that the farm's future was in good hands.Hu: Már nem csak a levendulából élt a mező, hanem egy új, virágzó világ vette kezdetét.En: The meadow no longer thrived on just lavender, but a new, flourishing world had begun.

Listener discretion advised."Big Girls Wanted: Escaping Pearadise" has taken the internet by storm, and it's easy to see why. Beyond the allegations themselves, it forces us to confront a number of uncomfortable but important conversations. In this episode we dive deep into Pearadise, the viral content house in Las Vegas built around "BBW" (Big Beautiful Women) that's igniting debates about body positivity, feederism, fetish culture, and online fame. Is Pearadise creating a space where plus-sized women can thrive and take control of their image, or is it blurring the line between empowerment and exploitation? From the business model and growing backlash to the lawsuit and allegations of sexual abuse, we examine every side of the Pearadise controversy.The opinions expressed in this episode are my own and are based on publicly available information, court records, interviews, and other source material available at the time of recording.

In this episode of What's Working in Ag, Tanner, Corey, and David sit down with Drew Grundmeyer, founder of Harvest Ready, to discuss a practical solution to one of farming's most persistent problems: labor. Drew shares how his background in education and farming inspired him to create a training program that helps prepare people for real-world farm work before they ever climb into a tractor or grain cart. Harvest Ready combines classroom instruction, safety training, equipment familiarization, and hands-on experience to help participants develop the foundational skills needed to support farm operations during harvest. The goal isn't to create expert operators overnight—it's to build confidence, improve safety, and provide farmers with a pool of trained individuals who understand the basics of agricultural equipment and harvest logistics. Topics discussed include: The growing labor shortage facing agriculture How Harvest Ready was created to fill a critical need Why basic training can make a major difference during harvest The concept behind Harvest Ready's Core and Alpha training programs Safety education and equipment familiarization Grain cart operation fundamentals Training new operators before harvest begins Creating opportunities for non-farm individuals to gain agricultural experience Potential partnerships with FFA and agricultural education programs The challenges of training across different equipment brands and technologies Building a future workforce for agriculture How farmers can prepare for labor needs before harvest starts Whether you're a farmer looking for reliable help, a student interested in agriculture, or someone wanting to gain hands-on farm experience, this conversation highlights an innovative approach to strengthening the agricultural workforce and helping operations stay productive during their busiest seasons.
