Senior Vice President and Executive in Residence with Rapid7 and Chairman for Cyversity, Julian Waits, grew up in the era of the Justice League and Superman and it shaped his career. Julian always wanted to do something where he could find a way to help society to basically help others. Starting out as a Baptist minister with aspirations of being a professional musician, Julian found it more practical to take some technology classes and practice his saxophone when he had time. His first tech job was at Texaco where he worked on early networks and moved into systems engineering at Compaq. Julian notes his ADD made coding less attractive than talking with others to solve problems and Compaq provided him with opportunities to pivot. Searching out diversity, Julian moved to DC, and had his first taste of startups. He now describes himself as a serial entrepreneur. We thank Julian for sharing his story with us.

So much of our focus AND the advice we receive is centred around optimising our Farm Businesses.    When we think about off-farm investing, we look to shares and real estate as our primary options.    Remember the small business. Often, the small business we run as a ‘side-hustle' beside our farms get little attention and are often left to play ‘second fiddle'.    In this podcast, I propose that perhaps our greatest opportunity is in the small business that sits beside our farm business – perhaps there is MORE value to create there? Perhaps your small business may hold the key to helping you achieve expansion, bolster cash flow and move you to the next level!    Do not underestimate the importance and power of a cash-rich business that complements the farm business you have. AND, as farmers, don't underestimate your business acumen and your entrepreneurial ability.    The business principles and entrepreneurial skills we teach at Farm Owners Academy – when applied to your farm AND non-farm businesses – can together be the perfect combination to set you free! I suggest it just takes a shift in thinking, focus, and a stronger strategic plan to make this happen and THRIVE.    I see so many great examples of this in David & Bianca from ‘Our Cow', Tom & Phoebe from LambPro, Neil & Coral from the Junee Licorice Factory, Juliet & Huw from the Long Track Pantry, and Sam & Prue from Holbrook Paddock Eggs (just to name but a few)! They have found a way to SCALE with a focus on BUSINESS just as much as FARMING.    If they can do it, why not you?    Remember, TIME is our greatest asset. So if you are squandering time and focusing on low-value activities, I encourage you to STOP, RESET and FIND A WAY to allocate one day per week to working ON YOUR BUSINESS, not in your business… this could be the thing that makes all the difference for you.    I hope this challenges your thinking and offers you some different and BETTER questions over the Christmas and festive season to turn your mind to.    Here's to the importance of good business practice – applied both ON and OFF farm!    Keep winning!    Hutch & the FOA Team    P.S. To speak with us about how we can help you scale your non-farm business… book a ‘let's have a yarn' call with Westy by clicking HERE.

Welcome to Day 1791 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Find A Way – Daily Wisdom Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1791 of our Trek, and it's time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today's trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. We are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend; this is Gramps. Thanks for coming along on today's trek as we increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A16&version=NLT (Proverbs 16:16)  How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver!    If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become more healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life.  So let's jump right in with today's nugget: Today's quote is from Stephen Dolley, Jr., and it is: A person who wants to do something will find a way; A person who doesn't will find an excuse. Find A Way The old saying, where there is a will, there is a way sums up this quote quite well.  Of course, by its very statement, there must be a will to accomplish what needs to be done.  The fact is that some people would choose to make excuses instead of finding a way to obtain what they desire.  Making excuses is easy. That is why some people prefer the path of no effort.  While it may be easier to make excuses than it is to find a way, in the end, it is a poor choice that leads to limited options for future choices.   So if you desire to have choices and options for your life, you need to start finding ways to accomplish what you desire, instead of making excuses. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+1%3A19-20&version=NLT (Romans 1:19-20) They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. As you ponder this nugget of wisdom for yourself, please encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.' If you would like to listen to any of our past 1790 treks or read the Wisdom Journal, they are available at Wisdom-Trek.com.  I encourage you to subscribe to Wisdom-Trek on your favorite podcast player so that each day's trek will be downloaded automatically.

Thank you so much for allowing me to be your guide, mentor, and, most of all, your friend as I serve you through this Wisdom-Trek podcast and journal. As we take this Trek together, let us always: Live Abundantly (Fully) Love Unconditionally Listen Intentionally Learn Continuously Lend to others Generously Lead with Integrity Leave a Living Legacy Each Day I am Guthrie Chamberlain….reminding you to 'Keep Moving Forward,' ‘Enjoy your Journey,' and ‘Create a Great Day…Everyday'!

In this episode, Zach Shaw and Steve Lorenz preview the title bout matchup between the No. 5 Michigan and No. 3 Ohio State football teams. We begin by looking at how the Wolverines' offense matches up against the Buckeyes' defense. Shaw outlines a soft spot in Ohio State's coverage that Cade McNamara may be able to exploit. We also preview Michigan's run game, and why it may be able to fare better against the Buckeyes' defensive front than other teams on the Buckeyes' schedule have so far. We also look at some other key factors on the offense. We then proceed to the strength-vs.-strength matchup between Ohio State's offense and Michigan's defense. We discuss the Buckeyes' underrated run game, elite offensive line play and, of course, how the Wolverines will have to go about defending Ohio State's passing game. Along the way, we tackle our over-unders, then close with our final thoughts and predictions for the matchup. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Colorado managed to win a game without going over 200 yards in total offense for the first time since 2004, defeating Washington, 20-17. It was a little smoke, a little mirrors, a little luck - and four Washington turnovers - which all contributed in bringing the victory for the Buffs on Senior Day.We'll take a look at the Buffs' second straight win over Washington, and what it means for the program and the seniors (with a path to a picture of Carson Wells after the game which is a must see for every CU fan). We will then turn our attention to the upcoming game against No. 16 Utah. The Utes are the Pac-12 division champions, and have their sights set on the first Pac-12 title for the program. Can the Buffs catch the Utes looking ahead to the title game, or is the 24-point spread actually too low for what might be a mismatch of gigantic proportions?Let's find out ...

Mark shares three short audio excerpts from the November 2021 20BooksVegas conference. 20Books Vegas 2021 is by far the biggest and best of the 20Books shows (there have been ten so far). It is the biggest show in the world focused on self-publishing although there is something for every author, traditional or indie. The 20Books mentality is that everyone deserves a chance to succeed if they take the knowledge and experience and apply it to their author business. With up to 20 authors making seven figures a year and hundreds making a full-time living, there will be something for everyone. Be warned, no one is going to carry you and make you an overnight sensation. You have to do that for yourself by applying what over 100 guest speakers have to offer. Are you ready to excel, reap the rewards of your good work? Then take control of your author career.   Prior to the main content, Mark shares recent comments, a personal update, thanks new patron Michael Howell and shares a word about this episode's sponsor. You can learn more about how you can get your work distributed to retailers and library systems around the world at starkreflections.ca/Findaway.

Listen to James Cridland and Sam Sethi   GUEST: Sean Li - Clever.FM NEWS: Spotify expands Podcast Subscriptions globally and now includes 20 price points from $0.50 to $150 and a way for creators to download subscribers' contact info  —  Just a few months after launching support for podcast subscriptions to U.S. creators, Spotify today is making the service available to creators in global markets.There are now more than 1,000 channels in Apple Podcasts. Podnews has discovered 293 paid subscription channels so far.Audiobooks are coming to Spotify - the company is to acquire Findaway, an audiobook distributor. Findaway will “enable Spotify to quickly scale its audiobook catalog”. It's experimented with audiobooks before: adding classic books, and a bespoke category for spoken word. (There are already more than 3,900 audiobooks on Spotify).Medium is getting into audio, acquiring audio-based learning platform Knowable. Warren Shaeffer, co-founder of Knowable, will join Medium as the Vice President of Audio. (Evan Williams, Medium's CEO, was co-founder of Odeo, an early podcast company.) Oprah Winfrey was on Clubhouse, but only 23,000 people listened. Meanwhile apps or logins are no longer required to listen on Spotify Greenroom. And - genuine question - has anyone heard from Mark Cuban's Fireside Chat recently? The New York Times says that 'misleading covid-19 talk goes unchallenged' on podcasts (and on radio). The article criticises iHeart, Spotify and Apple.Sounder has launched an “Audio Data Cloud”, which aims to analyse audio for advertisers to learn more about content of podcasts: including topic analysis, brand safety and automated summaries.

EPISODE QUOTES FROM ABE ROEHRICH: "You could tell they're very genuine people...my mom even said, "You can tell they have good values." The values of the program matched who I wanted to be in the future." "It's 4-5 years of your life where you're basically making all the decisions. The biggest thing is deciding who you want to be and what values you have. It's the people that matter. If you're around good people and you're doing something kinda crappy or hard, it'll probably be fun. If you're doing something fun with crappy people, it's probably not going to be fun. Go somewhere with people you want to be like because you're going to become more like those people as you spend more and more time with them." "In high school I thought I had the 10 best friends I'd have forever. The guys that I'm gonna be friends with forever (the guys in my wedding) ended up being the guys I played with at MSUM." "You're gonna be valued as a person at MSUM. No matter what your role is or isn't, you matter in this program. Everybody cares about everybody." "As a player, Find A Way was the most important. Gotta find a way to bring that positive energy no matter what you're doing and push through. Now it's Be A Great Teammate...to Maren, my wife. Stepping up and doing the dishes even though I know she'll do them if I leave em. It's bled more into my life outside of football." "The area I changed the most in was Do What's Right. I wasn't a "bad" kid, but Laqua almost engrains it in ya. "Is this the right thing or not?" goes through your head on every decision. Make the decision that will make you happy a year from now not an hour from now. It's the cookie and the apple. Cookie makes you feel good now, but the apple will make you feel good tomorrow." "Hopefully I'm having as big of an impact on others as Coach Koch had on me."

Mark interviews Chris Racknor about his Shawn Ronin mystery series, about science fiction and about his experiences in both traditional and indie publishing. Prior to the interview, Mark shares a brief personal update and a word about this episode's sponsor. You can learn more about how you can get your work distributed to retailers and library systems around the world at starkreflections.ca/Findaway. In their conversation Mark and Chris talk about: The report card snapshot from the first grade indicating Chris had an affinity for writing The serialized blog stories on Chris's blog early on in the advent of digital reading The 2004 goal Chris set related to writing a novel, and how that came to pass in 2020 Heading into the science discipline and wondering if it was for the science or for making the science-fiction more believable How Chris's mother, concerned that he was reading too many comic books, handed him a copy of a Robert B. Parker novel How science-fiction is about asking questions, while mysteries are about searching for answers Chris's experience of working with a publisher and coming to realize the sub-par work they had done on his novel The podcasts that Chris regularly listens to related to the business of self-publishing Preparing and launching the first three books in his mystery series via the indie route A bit of a background on the series and the main character Some of the personal situations from Chris's own life that have factored into the novels Strategies for launching three books at once, such as immediately making the first book in that series free Advice that Chris would give to his younger self And more... After the interview Mark reflects on Chris's determination to not give up despite the challenges he faced with his first book, but instead, to take a different approach. He also talks about the importance of asking and how you miss 100% of the shots you never take.

Facing the 7-0 Arizona Cardinals on a short week is a big enough challenge in itself for the Packers, but doing it without wide receivers Davante Adams and Allen Lazard makes winning Thursday night a monumental task. Co-hosts Tom Silverstein and Ryan Wood assess what impact COVID-19 has had on the team and whether it has enough pieces left to beat the Cardinals.

Adam answers the question many of us ask ourselves: Why do some people get everything done that they want to? It's because people who are effective in what they do go into each situation with the mindset that they are going to find a way instead of finding an excuse. So, Adam's challenge to you: Make the situation important to you, and find a way.Connect with Adam:https://www.startwithawin.com/ https://www.facebook.com/REMAXAdamContoshttps://twitter.com/REMAXAdamContos https://www.instagram.com/REMAXadamcontos/ 

When he was in high school, Pat Connaughton was offered a couple million dollars from the New York Yankees to forgo college and join their minor league system. He turned it down. Instead, he chose to continue pursuing his dream of playing basketball, went on to play both baseball and basketball at The University of Notre Dame, and now is an NBA Champion. Duncan and Pat grew up together, played for the same AAU program in New England, and are close friends to this day, so Duncan got to witness that entire journey first-hand.  In this fantastic sit-down, the guys talk about what a new season is like coming off of a championship, Milwaukee battling adversity in the playoffs, the ‘revenge series' against the Heat, and how the media narrative changes for Giannis after becoming a champion. They then dive into Pat's impact on winning games, his defensive approach, and favorite in-game dunks.  The discussion then turns to Pat's early days as a baseball standout, being a dual-athlete in college, getting drafted in both the MLB and NBA, and wraps up with Pat's off-court endeavors, including his real estate business and foundation supporting youth sports.  Before all of that, Duncan and Davis breakdown the Ben Simmons & Kyrie Irving off-season drama, talk about the new Wilson basketball and why it is so different from Spalding, and Duncan shouts out his Boston Red Sox.
