NCSO deputies discovered the body of 63-year-old Patrick McCaffree buried on a Grass Valley property while conducting a welfare check.
Mark Twain famously said, "Eat a live frog first thing in the morning, and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day." In this episode, April Garcia dives into why tackling your hardest task first is the ultimate productivity hack—and how to stop letting procrastination drain your mental energy. Key Takeaways: ✅ The Frog Theory – Your "frog" is the task you dread most. Avoiding it costs more energy than doing it. ✅ Fear vs. Reality – Most frogs take less than 20 minutes to complete (but feel massive in your mind). ✅ Frogs Multiply – Ignored tasks breed mental clutter and distraction. High performers eat theirs fast. ✅ The 20-Minute Rule – If it feels overwhelming, start with just 20 minutes. Momentum kills resistance. Action Steps:
That "pretty good" hire you just made? It could be costing you 3X their salary in hidden losses. April reveals why most businesses accidentally hire for failure, and the exact framework she uses to build teams that 10X company value. Key Insights:
Cynthia Levesque and Abby Richards have organized a place where local queer youth can go to that isn't home, school or work.
Today on KPFA Radio's Women's Magazine Lisa Dettmer talks to three Queer farmers of color, Oriana Bolden, Loa Niumeitolu and Kellee Matsushita-Tseng about how we can create alternative spaces to sustain us during this newest round of fascism. While Trump is orchestrating a neoliberal collapse and we weather the constant barrage of attacks on our lives we need to create alternative communities rooted in the land. But our capitalist industrial model of growing and consuming food is contributing to both climate change and social inequity and unfortunately large agro industrial farming is not that different than plantation farming. industrial capitalism is undermining our ability to build sustainable food systems for all. 98% of Farm Land is controlled by white people and many argue that alternative economies—including alternative food networks—continue to benefit middle class white folks, while further marginalizing communities of color and low-income folks. So today I am going to talk to 3 Queer farmers who are creating farms and gardens farming for BIPOC and low income and Queer people which is so important to creating a truly just movement for food sovereignty and is so important right now to help create alternative communities that can sustain us when we can not count on government grants or financial support reminding us that we will need to create independent grassroots movements rooted in the land where we can be sustained with food and well being and where we can create our own systems for mutual aid and an alternative non extractive non exploitive economic and eco system. Today we talk to 3 farmers who are doing that. Oriana Bolden is a Black, queer, filmmaking farmer located in Grass Valley, CA, where Oriana stewards medicinal herbs, edible flowers and long-celebrated, but “forgotten” herbs, spices and indigenous foods that are local and ecologically and culturally important. And we talk to Loa Niumeitolu, who is a Tongan poet, community organizer, educator and urban farmer. She is the director of Planting Oceania, a Pacific Islander collective that plants their ancestral foods and medicine for self determination and to heal from the destructions of colonization.. planting Oceania plants on the unceded territories of Lisjan and Raymatush tribes.” And lastly we talk to Kellee Matsushita-Tseng who is a yonsei, 4th generation queer japanese-chinese american, living and farming on unceded territory of the Uypi-tribe in Santa Cruz. Kellee joined the Food, What?! team in 2023 with over a decade of both farming and education experience, with special love for connecting people to seed stewardship. In addition to their work with youth at Food What?!, Kellee works to build seed sovereignty movements as a means of cultivating community power and organizes with a collective of AAPI farmers and organizers across the country, called Second Generation Seeds, which preserves, improves, and breeds crops significant to communities of the Asian diaspora. Kellee is also a founding member of Bitter Cotyledons, a collective of queer and trans asian Americans that cultivates creative resilience through ancestral foodways and community.

"Show me your calendar and bank account, and I'll tell you what's important to you." This brutal truth is about to confront every busy professional, entrepreneur and leader listening today. April takes you through a revealing audit of your last 30 days and next 30 days to expose the gap between what you say matters and where you actually spend your time. Key Takeaways: ✅ The Calendar-Bank Account Truth Test: Why these two documents don't lie about your real priorities ✅ The Priority Paradox: How we defend "important" things that never make our schedule ✅ Decade-End Reckoning: Why this audit matters more as we close out this decade ✅ The Ownership Audit: Spotting how much of your calendar is hijacked by others' agendas ✅ Scheduled Goals vs. Wishful Thinking: The shocking reality of how many goals actually get time blocks Powerful Questions: What recurring meetings/events would you NEVER put on a fresh calendar today? Where are the "invisible priorities" you claim matter but never schedule? What percentage of your calendar represents YOUR priorities vs. others'? Action Steps: ✔ Conduct the 30/30 Audit (review last 30 days/next 30 days) ✔ Color-code entries: Green = aligned with goals, Red = someone else's priority ✔ Cancel/Delegate 3 "Red" items within 48 hours ✔ Schedule 3 "Missing Priority" blocks before year-end Quote: "Your calendar is your priorities in ink - stop lying to yourself in pencil." --------- Want to be part of a transformative experience for entrepreneurs and leaders?

In this episode, April exposes the dangerous habit of undercharging that's sinking businesses and nonprofits – and why you need to add that critical +10% to protect your legacy.

Are you measuring your life against your past instead of your future? Do you find yourself saying, “I've endured worse, so I can handle this”—even when you know deep down you deserve better? In this episode of PivotMe, April challenges you to stop using your past as a benchmark and start measuring your life against the future you're creating. She shares why comparing your current situation to past struggles can hold you back and how to shift your mindset to focus on what's truly good enough for Future You. It's time to stop settling for “better than before” and start striving for what's truly aligned with the life you're building. Let's redefine your measuring stick and set a higher standard for your future.
Two Grass Valley residents were arrested after a routine probation search uncovered 18 dogs of various breeds and ages living in inhumane conditions.
EVERYDAY DISCIPLES S1:E3 Following the way of Jesus in everything, everywhere, every day. And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” - Mark 1:17 SHOW NOTES Welcome to the Everyday Disciples podcast, where we talk about what it means to follow the way of Jesus in everything, everywhere, every day. This month, we are talking about what it means to be steeped in Scripture. WHAT IS THE BIBLE? We believe the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible and authoritative Word of God. We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament as being verbally and completely inerrant in the original writings and of supreme and final authority in faith and life. We believe that God has not added to, deleted from, or altered the canon of the Bible with subsequent writings and revelations. [2 Timothy 3:15-17, 2 Peter 1:21] The Bible is a unified story that leads us to Jesus. It is unique in that it is historical and divine, meaning it was written by real people at real points in History over a 1000-year period by over 40 authors in 3 different languages (Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek). But most importantly, it is the Word of God. 5 WAYS TO INTERACT WITH SCRIPTURE Hear the word Read the word Study the word Memorize the word Meditate on the word H.E.A.R. The WordWhen we read through Scripture, we want to go at a pace that allows it to read us. Below is a simple acronym that will help guide our time as we read Scripture and seek to live it out. Each day, we will follow the pattern of HEAR. H - Highlight Read through the passage for the day. As you read, pay attention to what stands out. Maybe highlight or underline a word or phrase that catches your attention. E – Examine it Examine what the passage has to teach you. Study words and their root meaning, and/or study the context of the passage. Pay attention to the Holy Spirit's prompting as you read and press into what you can learn from scripture. A – Apply it Ask yourself how you might apply what you have read to your day and ask the Holy Spirit what you should take away from the passage. Write down what you want to apply, or make note of it some other way. R – Respond in prayer Close your time by using scripture and what you have read to lead your prayer time. Invite the Lord to continue speaking to you through the day on what you've studied. PRACTICES FOR THE MONTH: 1. BEGIN EACH DAY WITH SCRIPTURE Start every day with the Word. Scripture before your phone, TV, or emails. Scripture before everything. If you are unsure where to start, we have a Bible reading plan here: Crossroads Bible Reading Plan 2025 2. READ A WHOLE BOOK IN ONE SITTING We have become a culture of soundbites and short attention spans. Many of the letters of the New Testament were written to be read aloud in one sitting. At some point, this month, read or listen to an entire book straight through. See the attached graphic to help you choose. 3. MEMORIZE SCRIPTURE Over this next month, memorize two passages of scripture. Psalm 1:1-2, Romans 15:13 RESOURCES: Books: How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth by Fee and Stuart The Visual Guide to the Bible by Tim Challies How We Got the Bible by Neil R.

EVERYDAY DISCIPLES PODCAST SHOW NOTES: S1:E2Welcome to the Everyday Disciples podcast, where we talk about what it means to follow the way of Jesus in everything, everywhere, every day. This month, we are talking about what it means to walk in step with the Spirit. WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT?We believe there is only one God, eternally existent in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Each distinct from the Other, and Each is fully God, yet They are perfectly harmonized in Their Triune Being. [Genesis 1:1, Deuteronomy 6:4, Matthew 28:19, John 10:30, 1 Corinthians 8:6] THE WORK OF HOLY SPIRITWe believe in the threefold work of the Holy Spirit: that He seeks out and brings the lost to salvation, that He sanctifies the believer, and that He baptizes the believer into the body of Christ, giving spiritual gifts to the Christian for service. We believe in the continuance of gifts as found in 1 Corinthians 12:4-11. We believe that the Holy Spirit is our Comforter, Teacher, and guarantee of our inheritance. [John 14:26; 16:7-11, Acts 1:8, Romans 8:1-11, 1 Corinthians 12:4-11, Galatians 5:22, Ephesians 1:13-14; 4:4-5] PRACTICES FOR THE MONTH:Over the next month, we encourage you to practice intentionally walking in the Spirit. We will engage in three practices together. These are tools, not rules. The aim of these practices is to grow in our ability to discern the Holy Spirit's promptings and leading in our lives. Perfect action is not the aim - drawing closer to Jesus is. THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRITRead through and pray through Galatians 5:22-23. As you reflect on the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control), pay attention to which attribute the Spirit is inviting you to lean into over this next month. Do a word study on the attribute you are focusing on. To do this, simply use a concordance (often found in the back of your bible or of a study bible), or use a search engine tool online like blueletterbible.org where you can search for a word throughout scripture. PAY ATTENTION TO THE PROMPTING OF THE SPIRITBegin each day with a posture of availability to the Holy Spirit. Simply ask the Holy Spirit to help you hear and pay attention to His leading and to give you the courage to follow where He leads. Keep a running journal of the Spirit's leading through the days and weeks as you practice walking in the Spirit. SPIRITUAL GIFTSRead through Romans 12:3-8, 1 Corinthians 12:4-11, Ephesians 4:11-16, 1 Peter 4:10-11. As you read through these passages, make a list of the gifts that you see listed. Seek the Holy Spirit's guidance and invite other trusted people in your life to begin discerning what gift/gifts the Lord has given you.RESOURCES: The Holy Spirit: An Introduction (Short Studies in Systematic Theology) by Fred SandersPracticing the Power: Welcoming the Gifts of the Holy Spirit in Your Life by Sam Storms Understanding Spiritual Gifts by Sam Storms Everyday Disciples is a production of Crossroads Church located in Grass Valley, California.
In this episode of PivotMe, April dives into a powerful concept that might be holding you back more than you realize—your past limp. Whether it's a physical limp from an old injury or a mental one from past setbacks, we often adjust our behavior in ways that linger long after the pain is gone. April shares a personal story of how she unconsciously kept limping even after healing and connects this to how we carry past hurts into our present lives. It's time to recognize these outdated adjustments, release them, and step forward with confidence.

He also shares insights on navigating business relationships, embracing new experiences, and avoiding self-sabotage. A pivotal moment in his journey came after attending a Tony Robbins event, which fueled his passion for giving back—particularly through philanthropic efforts in the Philippines. This episode is packed with actionable advice on goal-setting, personal growth, mentorship, and generosity—all essential tools for anyone looking to build success and impact others. Key Takeaways: ✅ The Power of Early Goal Setting: Shane wrote down his life goals at 13 and carried them with him, achieving many by 30. ✅ Consistency Creates Success: From a 5 AM routine to disciplined self-improvement, Shane emphasizes the impact of daily habits. ✅ Career Evolution & Business Strategy: From logistics to business brokerage, Shane's journey proves that calculated risks can lead to massive success. ✅ Building Meaningful Relationships: Shane advises against transactional business interactions and prioritizes transformative connections.

Welcome to another episode of Pivot Me! Today, we're joined by Sean, a historian who weaves ancient stories into practical lessons for modern business and leadership. Sean shares how he transitioned from being a traditional historian to helping entrepreneurs navigate challenges using timeless principles. We discuss: The powerful story of Agamemnon and how it applies to goal setting and sacrifice. Why small sacrifices often become institutionalized—and how to avoid them. The importance of defining boundaries in business and life. How ancient myths and artifacts can provide insights into modern leadership dilemmas. Sean's perspective will challenge the way you think about success, sacrifice, and sustainability in both your business and personal life. Key Takeaways: Sacrifice with intention: Define what you're willing to give up before pursuing big goals. History as a mirror: Learn from ancient stories to avoid repeating mistakes. Boundaries matter: Success doesn't have to come at the cost of your humanity or relationships.

This week on PivotMe, April dives into a critical but often overlooked aspect of success: positioning. Success isn't just about crossing the finish line—it's about putting yourself in the right environment, building habits, and stacking the deck in your favor. With humor, personal anecdotes, and actionable tips, April explores how small, intentional choices prepare you for big opportunities. Key Takeaways: Preparation Meets Opportunity: Luck isn't random; it's what happens when preparation meets opportunity. Are you setting yourself up for those moments? Positioning matters in every area of life—business, health, relationships. Micro-Decisions Shape Success: Success isn't a single event but the result of daily habits and choices. Identify small actions—“lead indicators”—that align you with your goals. Stacking the Deck: Put yourself in rooms where opportunities exist. For example, joining groups, attending events, or even having a coffee with someone in your desired field. Avoid blaming bad luck when you haven't positioned yourself for good luck. Positioning is Proactive: Whether it's building a better relationship, health goals, or career advancement, it's about the effort you make before the opportunity arises. Example: A client who wanted to meet a partner but never left the house wasn't positioning for success, unlike someone who actively joined social activities. Your Role in Luck: Stop overestimating others' “luck” while underestimating your potential. As Seneca said, "Luck Is What Happens When Preparation Meets Opportunity." Quotes: "Preparation meets opportunity. Are you preparing for success, or just waiting for luck to show up at your doorstep?" "Position yourself for success—the overnight kind. Those usually take about 10 years." How are you positioning yourself for success? Success isn't just about goals; it's about the systems, habits, and environments you create. Don't wait for opportunity to knock—position yourself to hear it when it does. Want to be part of a transformative experience for entrepreneurs and leaders?
In this episode of PivotMe, April takes listeners on a transformative journey through her recent experience with energy and shadow work. From a profound realization about self-judgment to actionable strategies for overcoming it, this episode is packed with relatable insights and powerful takeaways. If you've ever been hard on your past self for not knowing what you know now, this episode will resonate deeply and leave you with tools to shift your mindset. Key Takeaways: The Trap of Judging Younger You: The person you are now is judging the person you were, forgetting that they hadn't yet experienced or learned the lessons you now know. This is a subtle but pervasive form of self-sabotage. Recognizing the Judge: April discovered that her "Judge" wasn't focused on others but was constantly critiquing her own past performance. Shadow work revealed how this internal judge was robbing her of self-compassion and undermining her achievements. Optimizing Without Criticizing: April's gift for optimization—a strength in improving processes and outcomes—became counterproductive when turned inward. A key insight: Use the skill to plan for the future, not critique the past. Changing the Narrative: Instead of saying, “I could have handled that better,” try “Next time, I will handle it this way.” This subtle language shift transforms judgment into constructive growth. Actionable Steps: Notice it: Be aware of when your internal Judge is active. Change the language: Replace self-critical phrases with forward-looking ones. Quotes: "The person you are now has learned from the experience, but you're judging the person who hadn't had that opportunity yet." "Instead of saying, ‘I could have,' switch it to ‘Next time I will.'" April's journey through energy work unveiled a powerful truth: self-compassion isn't just about being kind to yourself in the present—it's about honoring the journey that brought you here. By recognizing and quieting the internal Judge, you can turn self-reflection into a tool for growth rather than self-criticism. ------------------------------------------- Want to be part of a transformative experience for entrepreneurs and leaders?
In this episode of PivotMe, April dives into the concept of the "Atta Boy Folder," a simple yet powerful tool designed to build confidence and enhance performance in sales—and beyond. Drawing from years of experience training sales teams, April explains how capturing moments of success can create momentum, foster motivation, and ultimately drive better results. Whether you're leading a team or managing your own goals, this episode provides actionable insights you won't want to miss. Key Takeaways: The Best Time to Make a Sale: The best time to make a sale is immediately after closing one. Confidence and momentum are at their peak—capitalize on it! The Evolution of the Atta Boy Folder: Originally a folder in email inboxes, the Atta Boy Folder has transformed into a mobile-friendly tool, like a photo album or app folder on your phone. Save screenshots of positive feedback, emails, texts, or even photos of awards and achievements. What Goes into the Folder: Emails from happy clients. Screenshots of praise or recognition. Photos of milestones or achievements. Who Needs an Atta Boy Folder: Sales professionals, entrepreneurs, team leaders—anyone who could benefit from a quick boost of confidence. When to Use It: When motivation wanes. To prep for a big meeting or sales pitch. During moments of doubt or imposter syndrome. Actionable Items: Create your own Atta Boy Folder today. Start by finding 3 pieces of positive feedback or achievements to save. Train your team to use this tool. Encourage them to share their wins and create a culture of celebration and motivation. Make it accessible. Choose a format (photo album, app, or desktop folder) that's easy to access when you need it most. The Atta Boy Folder is more than a collection of wins—it's a confidence-building system that keeps you and your team performing at their best. By capturing and celebrating success, you create a ripple effect of positivity and momentum that fuels continued growth. Don't wait—start building your folder today and make it part of your routine. ------------------------------------------- Want to be part of a transformative experience for entrepreneurs and leaders?
