Conversations on Careers and Professional Life

On this episode, I talk about something that comes up all the time in my coaching sessions with MBA students—and that's networking. I've talked about it before on the podcast on episode 1202 "Reframe the way you think about networking and asking for help" I'll drop a link in the show notes.  I encourage you to go back and give that one a listen.   As generative AI has proliferated on both sides of the job search with candidates using it to submit more and more customized applications, and recruiters using it to filter through piles of hundreds or thousands of applicants, relationships are once again increasingly important in learning about opportunities before they are public, and securing interview invites.   So many job seekers have what I call the hunter/gatherer mindset in their job search: they scour job boards for opportunities, and submit applications.  I would encourage anyone in an active job search -- or anyone who thinks they might be in an active job search in the next 6 to 18 months, to adopt what I call the gardener mindset.   Let's dig in. (no pun intended)   If you're like many MBA students—or honestly, professionals at any stage—you may have a complicated relationship with networking. You know you're supposed to do it. You've heard it's important. But maybe it feels awkward. Transactional. A little sleezy even. I picture Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman in American Psycho with his heavy-bond embossed business card.   Maybe you don't want to “bother” people. Or maybe you're waiting until you have a clear goal or ask before reaching out. I get it. That hesitation is totally normal. But here's the thing—networking is not a one-time transaction. It's not about reaching out only when you need something. It's not just about collecting contacts on linkedin like pokemon cards. Networking—effective, sustainable, authentic networking—is about building relationships over time. That's where the gardener mindset comes in.   Imagine you're a gardener. You don't just toss seeds into the dirt one day and expect to harvest a salad the next.   You prepare the soil. You plant a variety of seeds. You water them. You protect them from frost. You wait. You come back to check on them. Sometimes they sprout. Sometimes they don't. Different plants mature on different schedules. Some may require years before you are ready to harvest anything.   The same is true for relationships in your professional life. When you meet someone at an event, or reach out for a coffee chat—you're planting a seed. Having that conversation is watering it. Following up with an authentic note is watering it. Another follow up after you took some advice they gave you… is watering it Sharing an article or podcast with them, or  an update on your journey—that's watering it.   When you refer someone else to them, or cheer on their LinkedIn update—that's tending the garden.   You're not always sure which seeds will grow or when they'll bloom. But if you keep showing up, nurturing those relationships, you'll start to see the garden take shape. And here's the beautiful thing: relationships compound over time. Opportunities, referrals, mentorship—they often emerge from the people you've been in touch with for years, not just weeks. But you have to invest in those relationships before you “need” them.     So how do you network like a gardener? It's like the old saying, when's the best time to plant a tree? 20 years ago. When's the second best time? Today.  So Here are a few quick tips: Start early.  Plant the seeds now. Just like a health garden will be diverse, you need a diverse strategy: reach out to current contacts, reconnect with old contacts, attend events to make new contacts. Be curious, not transactional. Ask questions about their path. Their decision points. What they've learned. I love Steve Dalton's TIARA framework for informational interviews, that stands for asking questions about Trends, Insights, Advice, Recommendations, and Assignments they are working on. Listen to my conversation with Steven, I'll drop a link in the show notes. Follow up thoughtfully. A quick note saying “Thanks again, I found your advice helpful” and specifically name what was helpful! A personal message -- it doesn't have to be long -- will go a long way. Give back when you can. Share an article. Introduce someone. Celebrate their wins. Ask them if there is anything you can do for them in return. That kind of reciprocity can build rapport. Track your outreach. Not to be mechanical—but to stay organized. Relationships grow with attention. Especially when you are in a more active phase of your search, develop a system for tracking your contacts. This can be as simple as a spreadsheet, or something more robust like a CRM.   Networking isn't about having the perfect pitch--or heavy bond, embossed business card. It's about building trust, credibility, and rapport. It's about investing in people and communities over time—knowing that some of those relationships will blossom into opportunities in ways you can't predict right now. So as you move through your MBA, or any career transition, I invite you to think like a gardener. Be patient. Be intentional. Keep planting. Keep watering.   And trust that the harvest will come.

All throughout both the Old and New Testaments, we see a clear pattern of people in Scripture turning to prayer and fasting in times of uncertainty, brokenness, and need. And in those examples, we find that prayer and fasting are not just religious obligations but natural responses to desperation. And we find that moments of crisis can lead to spiritual renewal when approached with humility and dependence on God. And we find that whether you and I are facing the unknown road ahead or the ruins of life, the invitation is to pray and fast, recognizing that our deepest hunger can only be satisfied by God.

There is a quiet truth written in the tomes of family life that science keeps confirming over and over. It's worth pausing to reflect on. A warm bond between a father and child lights a path toward a steady, grounded adulthood. Studies show kids with an emotionally present dad, someone who's there with a hug or a knowing nod, are less likely to stumble into behavioral trouble. Boys, especially, often look to their fathers as a mirror, shaping themselves in the image of a dad they feel close to. It's a simple gift: presence breeds strength, presence breeds exploration of self, presence breeds knowing, presence breeds growth in all things for men. Now, here's a twist you might not expect. The old-school image of the rugged, masculine dad, stoic and commanding, was once thought to mold boys into the same mold. But research, like a wise teacher, reveals otherwise. A boy's masculinity isn't forged by a father's stern hand; it's an innate spark, flickering or bold regardless of style. As a Stoic father might counsel, we can't control the nature we're given, only how we nurture it. So, let's release the pressure to force a mold and instead guide with patience. This theory follows the excellence of The Carpenter and the Gardener by Gopnik.... and a recipe. Enjoy Dr. M

Stepping away and looking at the big picture, it is easy to see why and how we have been skipping over spring crops. Some of us go to extremes to get warm plants blooming sooner than they should be and others are still planting this family way too late to reap the rewards that well-established plants give. Warm-season plants are familiar, which makes them seem easier to grow.I want to fast forward to where this journey of embracing seasonality with cool-season hardy annuals can lead.This is a trend that I have seen over and over, and I think it is so smart.My first experience with flower farmers making a clear decision to move away from offering summer crops and focusing on spring and or fall crops was with good friends Megan and Jonathan Leiss of Spring Forth Farm in North Carolina. I met them before their babies came, and I watched as they started a family, lived the homesteading life, and grew cut flowers as a piece of their family life, not allowing it to consume them. They developed their model as an early to late spring offering flower farm.Now we're seeing more and more flower farmers realizing they can maintain control as they grow their businesses, molding them into a more manageable part of their life.I had the honor of visiting one of my student's farms a couple of years ago.

Summer in 2025 is here - and after one of the sunniest and driest Springs on record, we enter the long days and sultry nights with the garden looking glorious but always looking to the horizon for a little bit of rain to keep things looking green and lush. Herbaceous borders are set to maximum colour, vegetable beds seem to multiply in growth weekly and the gardeners tan is ever present. So enjoy the long summer days, take some time to appreciate time in your garden and join the Talking Heads pair as they continue to look after the spaces they are in charge of, as well as enjoying their gardens at home.The third UK summer heatwave is occurring, with summers getting warmer and drier - especially noticeable in Saul's usually much wetter county of Devon, this means a lot of plants need a little extra TLC to get them looking at their best. Lucy in dry Essex is, however, extremely used to these conditions and gives us a few hints and tips on plants to grow in the dry. Also a lot of pruning going on including the topiary, so appropriately the Henchman Topiary Awards have been announced - with some fantastical animals being created by artful pruning. However, forget all this because this weekend it's all about the BBQ - so enjoy your garden in the best way possible with grilled veggies and a banger or two!LinkedIn link:Saul WalkerInstagram link:Lucy lucychamberlaingardensIntro and Outro music from https://filmmusic.io"Fireflies and Stardust" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com)License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)Support the show

Reclaiming the Inner Life as Christ's Sacred RetreatWhat if your soul is more than a battlefield—or a burden to manage—but a garden?In this episode, we step into the rich metaphor drawn from Charles Spurgeon's 19th-century devotion on Song of Solomon 5:1, where Christ says, “I am come into my garden.” With help from Gordon MacDonald's Ordering Your Private World, and a haunting lyric from Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, we explore what it means to reclaim the soul as sacred space.You'll be invited to:Reimagine your inner life as a walled garden—set apart, protected, and tended by graceHear Spurgeon's challenge to resist worldly encroachmentReflect on MacDonald's insight: that an untended soul will always be overrun by the worldLong for the Eden your soul remembers—and the Christ who still walks among the liliesThis isn't about performance—it's about presence.

Host: Timothy Boston Editor: Clare Boland Common Ground Radio is an hour-long discussion of local food and organic agriculture with people here in the state of Maine and beyond. This month: According to lifelong gardener Barbara Damrosch, growing food is an undeniably radical act. In her latest book, “A Life in the Garden: Tales and Tips for Growing Food in Every Season,” Damrosch, now in her 80s, invites others to join her in tending the earth and celebrating the harvest — and she shares practical and personal advice for novice and experienced gardeners alike. This month's episode of Common Ground Radio is a special conversation with Damrosch about her new book and her life in the garden. We talked in her Brooksville, Maine, home, which she shares with Eliot Coleman. After they married in 1991, the two began collaborating in the field, as Four Season Farm, as well as on the page — similar to another iconic gardener-author duo, Helen and Scott Nearing of “Living the Good Life” fame. Damrosch counts the Nearings as a major influence on her relationship to the land, and Four Season Farm is sited on acreage previously owned by the Nearings, purchased by Coleman in 1968.

She has worked on organic farms in Maine, Vermont, Connecticut, Scotland and Italy and, in 2010, founded a small farm focused on celebrating open-pollinated and heirloom vegetables. As the former manager of a national nonprofit dedicated to organic seed growers, she authored a peer-reviewed handbook on GMO avoidance strategies for seed growers. Holli has also been a steward at Forest Farm, the iconic homestead of “The Good Life” authors Helen and Scott Nearing; a host of “The Farm Report” on Heritage Radio Network; and a lo0ng-time contributor for The Maine Organic Farmer & Gardener, which she now edits in her role as content creator and editor at MOFGA.

Caregiving is the most universal of human acts. But also one of the most invisible. While caring for a child, parent or loved one can be meaningful, and life defining, it can also be exhausting and life breaking. Drawing on her groundbreaking research on baby's brains, UC Berkeley psychologist and philosopher Alison Gopnik is leading a multidisciplinary project to better understand the social science of caregiving with hopes of translating those insights into practical policies. Gopnik and policymaker Anne-Marie Slaughter join us to talk about how rethinking our approach to caregiving and how we support care providers, could lead to a better, more functional society.

I stumbled into growing annuals. I initially began planting perennials, but I quickly saw the error of my ways - I was going to run out of space, QUICK!As my business was gaining more demand than flowers I had-- I became a little crazy figuring out how to make the most of my total property of 1.17 acres that also had my home and outbuildings.I already had a nice stand of hydrangeas in our landscape and thought-- bingo, use it all. But then I needed a consistent supply-- I didn't see it yet but annual plants were knocking down my door.Then I got it! To maximize my space and to have a consistent supply I needed annuals.What I discovered along that journey is that annuals are the perfect fit for the small-space flower farmer.It's the recommended way all farmers get started to learn how to farm, maintain, seed start, harvest, and find customers:Low investment,Max production small space,Constant ability to change up-colors & varieties,The annual system has been so misrepresentedA little-known reality of the "Annual Farmer" is that this style of farming can become an asset to your home. I could literally stop farming any day, plant trees or grass, and call it a life well lived.Mentions⁠⁠Online Courses⁠⁠⁠ from The Gardener's Workshop⁠⁠⁠⁠Sign up to receive our weekly Farm News!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shop the TGW Online Store for all your seeds and supplies!⁠⁠⁠⁠The⁠⁠⁠⁠ Field and Garden Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠ is produced by Lisa Mason Ziegler, award-winning author of⁠⁠⁠⁠ The Cut Flower Handbook, Vegetables Love Flowers, and Cool Flowers⁠⁠⁠⁠, owner of⁠⁠⁠⁠ The Gardener's Workshop,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Flower Farming School Online,⁠⁠⁠⁠ and the publisher of⁠⁠⁠⁠ Farmer-Florist School Online⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠⁠⁠ Florist School Online.⁠⁠⁠⁠ Watch⁠⁠⁠⁠ Lisa's Story⁠⁠⁠⁠ and connect with Lisa on social media!
