If Christ lives in you, why are you still trying to do this alone? Discussion Questions: Read John 3:36 and 5:24. What does it mean to "see life" and to have "passed out of death into life"? Read John 14:19 and react to this statement: "Because I live, you will live also." Read John 14:23. What does it mean to you to have the entire Trinity living within you? Read Romans 5:10 and react to this statement: I am reconciled by Jesus' death and saved by Jesus' life. Read Romans 8:10-11. What does "the spirit is alive because of righteousness" mean for the imputed-vs-imparted righteousness debate? Read 1 John 4:13 and 2:27. How do you understand "abiding" better because of these? Read Galatians 5:16, 25. In your own words, describe what it means to walk by the Spirit.

Jessi Ricci  - New Life Greens On Being Present: "It's definitely life changing when you put your phone down for a meal." In the mad rush that is our world, we often take for granted some important things.  Some of those things are nutrition, flavor, time spent with friends enjoying a great meal.  Celebrating the gift of life that we have instead of just rushing through it. Jessi Ricci started New Life Greens, partly as a way to help people enjoy life.  In the food they eat and the people they share the experience with.  At only 19 years old, she is already a successful entrepreneur. In this inspiring conversation, Jessi Ricci opens up about how her dream of becoming an environmental science teacher at UW Madison took an unexpected detour when a part-time job at an aquaponic farm introduced her to the world of microgreens. From those first nervous meetings with chefs, armed with living trays of fresh greens, to building relationships with supportive mentors and her own family, Jessi Ricci reveals how authenticity, faith, and hustle fueled her success. Listen as Jessi details what she has learned and how she has made New Life Greens a success. Enjoy!

And I really do not feel like I'm pushy. I just really believe in my product, and I think it speaks for itself. Like, I don't need to talk to them. I can leave them these microgreens, and they speak for themselves. So I'll come in. Jessi Ricci [00:00:19]: And bring my price sheets and everything and a live tray of greens. Like an alive plant of greens, some cut product and. And talk to them. Just show it to them, have them eat it. And they're like, whoa, this is so flavorful.

Downloadable audio episodes can be found in the podcast link found at drawincustomers.com we are locally underwritten by the bank of Sun Prairie and today we are welcoming slash, preparing to learn from Jessi Ricci of New Life Greens. So, Jessi, how is it going today? Jessi Ricci [00:01:00]: I am doing great. How are you? James Kademan [00:01:02]: I am doing well. I'm in green. Jessi Ricci [00:01:04]: I know. I love that you're in green. I always wear green. James Kademan [00:01:07]: So you really. Jessi Ricci [00:01:08]: Yep. James Kademan [00:01:09]: That's cool. Is nature of the business. Right. Jessi Ricci [00:01:10]: But I love that you're in green, too. James Kademan [00:01:11]: Oh, thank you. Tell us the story. What is New Life Greens? Jessi Ricci [00:01:14]: Yeah. So New Life Greens is a microgreens farm based in Verona, Wisconsin, and we distribute just to the greater Madison area. And we focus on distribution to chefs, which is what kind of sets us apart. We grow specialty microgreens with chefs in mind. James Kademan [00:01:32]: All right, now I'm going to play dumb. Jessi Ricci [00:01:34]: Yeah. James Kademan [00:01:35]: Or maybe I am. Whatever. What is a microgreen? Jessi Ricci [00:01:38]: That's not dumb. I did not know what a microgreen before I started my business. So you. James Kademan [00:01:44]: Did you say when you started your business? Jessi Ricci [00:01:45]: No, before. I did not know before I started my business. James Kademan [00:01:49]: All right. Jessi Ricci [00:01:51]: Yeah. I still don't know. James Kademan [00:01:53]: These things just ship up and I sell them and. What? Jessi Ricci [00:01:56]: Yeah, yeah. The textbook definition of a microgreen is that it is a young seedling of an edible flower, vegetable or herb. So if you. Do you have a garden? James Kademan [00:02:08]: I'm going to say yes. But I mean, it's. Jessi Ricci [00:02:11]: Do you start your own plant starts or no, it's fine if you don't. James Kademan [00:02:15]: Tomatoes, you do Okay. I grow things that are very easy to grow. We're talking rhubarb, tomatoes, cucumbers, stuff that you could probably light the entire world on fire and they would still grow. Jessi Ricci [00:02:25]: Yes. James Kademan [00:02:26]: That's what my skill set is. Jessi Ricci [00:02:28]: It's funny that that's the vegetable that you said, because tomatoes are part of the nightshade family, so they actually are deadly in microgreen form. James Kademan [00:02:35]: Really? Jessi Ricci [00:02:36]: Yes, because they are. They like. Well, it's a whole thing. But basically, if you think of your garden and your plant starts, if you're starting like a pea pod or a cantaloupe or what's another one? Radishes, that little start, that's a couple inches, it's what is what is technically classified as a microgreen, just so it' easier to, like, envision. Usually they're like the size of a blade of grass. And since they are microgreen and they're harvested before they actually produce fruits and before they run out of nutrients in their seed and start using from the soil, they are extremely nutrient dense. So that's kind of the appeal from the consumer. But chefs really don't care about the nutrition. Jessi Ricci [00:03:15]: They just care that they are really beautiful. They're very colorful and flavorful. So they're a great way to garnish. So a lot of high end restaurants will garnish their dishes with them. But I do partner with some restaurants, like Settled Down Tavern, who puts it in a burger, or Youngblood who puts it on a hot dog. But typically they're used as more of like a fancy garnish. James Kademan [00:03:34]: All right. Jessi Ricci [00:03:35]: Yeah. James Kademan [00:03:35]: So how do you get into the microgreen business? Jessi Ricci [00:03:38]: Yeah, you know, I was trying to think of. I knew you probably would ask this, so I was trying to think of my answer for this, and it's really confusing. I mean, if you look back, because I started my business in high school. I'm 19 right now. So if you look back back in your high school, I'm sure, you know, it's totally a blur. And even though it was just a few years, for me, high school was totally a blur. I started my business kind of by accident in a way, actually. So all of high school, I always dreamed to go to UW Madison, be an environmental science teacher, or go to UW Madison. Jessi Ricci [00:04:15]: I said, go to UW Madison, be an environmental science teacher, be in the band. And so my whole high school was just. My whole high school career was filled with trying to accomplish that dream. So I was 4.0 student. I joined all the clubs. I was in band. I joined a sport just to make my application look better. And kind of like the final seal of that was me applying to be a youth apprentice my senior year to make my college application look better, which I did not go to college. Jessi Ricci [00:04:41]: I Don't know if you. I did. I would be in college right now. I would be in class right now. So I'm not there. Jessi Ricci [00:04:50]: Yeah. So everything I did was with that goal in mind. And the job in which I started my business out of was literally. I got the job because I wanted my application to look better. So I got a job at an aquaponic farm in Paoli, Wisconsin, which is definitely the up and booming little area near Madison, at Clean Fresh Food. And they provided an array of products to restaurants. When I started working for them, they only had one restaurant client, but it filled up, like, a third of their capacity. And so I started working there, and I was thinking, you know, this is kind of. Jessi Ricci [00:05:24]: They grow all year round, which is really environmentally friendly. So I was thinking, this will look so good on my application for UW Madison. I'm gonna be a part of this farm who has really great values. And I thought it would really set me apart. Little did I know. I mean, it set me apart so much that I'm not going there. Jessi Ricci [00:05:43]: Yeah. So this farm was the hub for my business. The owner of the farm, Mike Knight, helped me incubate my business. It all started out just with me. My dad always raised me to have, like, a strong work ethic, and so there wasn't that much work for me to do at the farm. There was one other. I had one other co worker and me, and it was just us two, and he worked in the mornings, and I worked, like, at the end of the school day, and so I never saw him. So I would show up to the greenhouse, unlock the door, and I was all alone, and I would just kind of find things to do, like organize or do whatever. Jessi Ricci [00:06:20]: But my dad, like, just knowing him, I could never sit down. I, like, when I was working, I was working, and I didn't have anyone watching over me, so. So I could have done whatever, but this, like, strong work ethic of mine ended up with me reaching out to the owner. And, I mean, I. I love this guy. He is like my business mentor. He's an amazing guy.

In Episode #148 of The Lumber Word, Matt, Gregg, Charles and Ashley sit down with Kyle Little, COO of Sherwood Lumber and current NAWLA Chairman, to talk about staying grateful in one of the toughest markets we've seen in years. Kyle gives an inside look at what NAWLA is working on to improve meetings and member engagement, while the crew runs through a quick market round robin — how short is multi-family, where inventory is hiding, 2x4 #2 R/L Chicago trading around $485–$495, and whether the three-year streak of $30 CME rolls can keep going. Who are the Long CME traders? They hit SYP futures, new potential deliverables in the legacy lumber contract, whether big buyers are stepping in, and if demand is starting to feel a little 2008-ish. The episode wraps with thoughts on growing customers in a slow market and what the industry can learn from this moment.

Don't get your hopes up...

In this episode, I share why I'm genuinely grateful to be a Southern Baptist — even in a season when headlines, social media noise, and internal debates can make it feel easier to walk away. After five years of traveling to more than 30 states as a North American missionary, I've seen firsthand that God […]

We've reached the final week of our "Grateful Anyway" series, and Lead Pastor Clay Monkus brings us to the foundation that makes lasting gratitude possible. In Psalm 100:4–5, we encounter a worship song sung by God's people as they entered the temple courts. This wasn't just a feel-good moment—it was a declaration rooted in deep theology. The psalmist calls us to give thanks and praise, but notice where the focus lands: on God's goodness, His enduring love, and His faithfulness that spans every generation. Here's the truth: gratitude anchored in circumstances will always be fragile. When life is good, we're thankful. When life gets hard, our gratitude wavers. But when we transfer our gratitude from the gifts to the Giver—from what God does to who God is—everything changes. That kind of gratitude grows deep roots that can withstand any storm. This message will challenge you to build your thankfulness on the only foundation that never shifts: the unchanging character of God. His love doesn't fluctuate with your circumstances. His faithfulness doesn't depend on your performance. And His goodness endures forever. Series Theme: This series explores how to find and express thankfulness even when circumstances are far from perfect. True gratitude isn't based on circumstances—it's rooted in the character of God, which never changes. Scripture: Psalm 100:4–5 As we close this series, our prayer is that you'll discover a gratitude that goes deeper than your circumstances—a gratitude anchored in the God who never changes.

Mistakes are not the end of the world, I know, Most things can be fixed, replaced or redone, And what cannot, can help us learn and grow, But perfection is impossible for everyone.   [full text below]   Ep. 431 - Happy Fix   We begin as always  with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy,  in Balance and Growth,  of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! Mistakes are not the end of the world, I know, Most things can be fixed, replaced or redone, And what cannot, can help us learn and grow, But perfection is impossible for everyone. Though the idea that not everything needs to be Life or Death Isn't something I ever really believed in, If I was going to do something, I would do it until my dying breath, Or else, like, why even begin? But that caused me a lot of stress,  I had to count to ten, and focus on my breathing, In through the nose, out through the mouth, yes, yes, Anything to keep me from furiously seething. But I had the Happy Fix right in front of me, “Don't treat everything like it's the only thing,” (Go ahead and make mistakes--feel free!) I just refused to see what calmness it could bring. I figured that if I didn't do everything all the way,  Then I could be outworked or outlasted, But as a result I was getting stressed every day, And even more stress was being forecasted. Mistakes are not the end of the world, I repeated, Most things can be fixed, replaced or redone, And what cannot, can be honored and well-treated. Either way, perfection is impossible for everyone. Haha Yowza

As 2025 comes to a close, I'm not winding down - I'm winding up. In this episode I share why this has been the year I've felt deeply gratified and truly rich inside myself, and why I refuse to end the year in disappointment, resignation, or “next year will be better” energy. I also announce The Golden Mile 2025 → 2026 Immersion:  a special 2 month 1:1 immersion that can only be purchased in December. This immersion is designed to walk you through the final stretch of 2025 and across the threshold into 2026 in miracle frequency, deep satisfaction, and anchored leadership. Inside the episode, I speak from my own embodiment about: The creative potency of December & January and why I choose to end the year feeling profoundly gratified, not regretful The role of pressure and tension in the creative cycle and how holding it (without collapsing into fear) births new timelines Three doorways of The Golden Mile Immersion: The Miracle Breakthrough Doorway - for those who haven't yet experienced the miracle they've been walking toward The Wisdom & Leadership Harvest Doorway - for those who know their leadership has a “use by” date in its current form and are ready to bring the wealth of their wisdom into the world in new ways The Spirit Embodied Identity Doorway – for those who know they are here to anoint the world with love and live as a pure channel of their spirit Why some miracles don't look like what our human wanted, including the story of my son's passing and the awakening that followed If you feel the potency of this season and you know you're capable of so much more – not because you're “not enough”, but because of the enormity of your heart, your wisdom and your devotion to love – the Golden Mile may be for you.

La gratitud no es el final de la historia… es la llave que abre la próxima temporada. Cada capítulo fue gracia; lo que viene será aún mayor.

God isn't finished with us. He's still working on us & working things out for us. Let's gather with gratitude to align our hearts with Heaven & receive His help.

Fear loves to whisper, "You don't have enough… and you'll never have enough." But in this powerful message from Pastor Ken Senchal, we discover that God walks Elijah — and us — straight through the fear of scarcity to teach a deeper truth: "God is enough… and what He gives is always enough." In this episode, Pastor Ken unpacks: ✨ Why God allows "drought seasons" and what dries-up brooks reveal ✨ How God's provision often arrives in unexpected forms — even ravens ✨ Why obedience unlocks miracles, especially when resources seem too small ✨ How God resurrects what we thought was dead and gone This message is for anyone battling anxiety, financial pressure, uncertainty, or spiritual exhaustion. Let the Word of God rebuild your faith, renew your contentment, and silence the fear of not enough.

We're taking a week off for Thanksgiving. Please enjoy these outtakes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hello, hello and welcome back to Greedy Bitch, the podcast for groomers who are done apologizing for wanting more. I'm your host, River Lee, founder of The Savvy Groomer — and if you're listening to this while staring at a pile of towels, brushing out a doodle, or half-living on caffeine and leftover Halloween candy… breathe with me for a second. You did it. You made it through November — the month that feels like a tug-of-war between gratitude and grind. We just survived the “Turkey Month Trifecta” — too many dogs, too many deadlines, and not nearly enough naps. Now we're staring down December — that magical, slightly unhinged season where everyone wants to be on your nice list while simultaneously acting like they belong on your naughty list. And before we dive headfirst into bows, Santa photos, and last-minute “just one more” calls, I want to pause and talk about something groomers rarely do this time of year: gratitude for ourselves. Because gratitude isn't just about your clients, your dogs, or your bookings. It's about appreciating how far you've come… and giving yourself permission to rest before the next round begins. So today, we're slowing down, taking stock, and getting real about what you're not bringing into December. You don't need to earn your rest. You've already earned it. Let's be honest — Thanksgiving gets all the hype for being the “season of gratitude,” but somewhere between the mashed potatoes and the matted doodles, most of us skipped right past it. We confuse gratitude with over-giving. We think, “I should be thankful, so I shouldn't complain. I should just push through. I should take one more client, work one more hour, or skip lunch again because — hey — at least I'm busy.” But that's not gratitude. That's burnout dressed up like Thanksgiving dinner. Gratitude isn't about ignoring your exhaustion — it's about acknowledging your effort. It's looking back at the chaos and saying, “Wow. I really did that.” You kept dogs safe. You kept clients happy. You kept your doors open, your shears sharp, and your sanity mostly intact. And if you're listening to this, that means you cared enough to keep growing — not just grooming. But here's the catch: you can't receive gratitude if you're running on empty. You can't enjoy the fruits of your labor if you're too tired to taste them. If your idea of celebrating a successful month is collapsing on the couch with take-out and scrolling through client messages you haven't answered yet… that's not success. That's survival. So let's change that. Let's talk about what it really looks like to move from grateful but exhausted to grateful and grounded. Here's what I want you to do — and yes, you can do this mentally while you groom. Think back on November. What worked? What made you proud? What left you feeling like, “That was worth it”? Maybe it was the way you handled a difficult client with calm confidence. Maybe it was finally saying “no” to that once-a-year emergency husky. Maybe it was enforcing your matting policy, or remembering to eat something green that wasn't a jolly rancher.. Now, let's look at the other side — the things that drained you. That moment when you felt resentful. That day you skipped lunch and snapped at your bather. That time you squeezed someone in “just this once” and immediately regretted it. We're not judging — we're observing. Reflection isn't about guilt; it's about data. You can't fix what you won't face. So if you noticed that your income didn't match your effort, that's not failure — that's a clue. If you noticed you're crankier with clients or shorter with your own pets at home, that's not shame — that's your body saying, “Hey, I'm done.” The best groomers aren't the busiest ones — they're the ones who listen when their energy talks back. So, what's your energy telling you right now? You know how we tell clients that matting doesn't magically go away — it only gets worse if you ignore it? Yeah, burnout's the same way. So before December starts, let's de-mat your mental space. Let's brush out what doesn't belong anymore. If you're holding onto guilt — let it go. If you're still obsessing about that one bad review or that one client you couldn't please — let it go. If you're still undercharging someone out of pity — please, for the love of your sanity, let. it. go. You are not a machine. You are not a holiday miracle worker. You are a human with limits — and that's a good thing. So here's what I want you to do this week: Pick one thing to release before December hits. Maybe it's dropping a red-flag client. Maybe it's removing one service that doesn't make sense anymore. Maybe it's giving yourself permission to close early one day a week. Whatever it is, write it down. Say it out loud. Because clarity creates calm. You can't be grateful if you're buried under guilt. You can't be present if you're running on panic. You deserve a version of success that doesn't require suffering. Let's talk about the thing groomers struggle with the most: rest. I know — even the word feels wrong in your mouth. We're a community built on hustle. We wear exhaustion like a badge of honor. But rest isn't laziness — it's maintenance. Think about your tools. You wouldn't groom a full day with dull blades or skip cleaning your tub because “there's no time.” So why do you treat your mind and body any different? Gratitude isn't just saying “thank you.” It's showing thank you — to yourself. You thank yourself by scheduling a break. You thank yourself by eating a real lunch instead of protein bars and promises. You thank yourself by closing your books when you said you would. Because when you rest, you come back sharper. Kinder. More creative. More you. And that version of you — calm, confident, and cared for — that's the one your clients, your dogs, and your business truly need. Now, before we wrap up, I want to remind you — gratitude and profit can coexist. In fact, they should. If you've been nodding along all month thinking, “I know I need to raise my prices, but I just feel guilty,” this is your sign. Gratitude for your clients doesn't mean charging less. It means running a business that will still exist next year so you can keep serving them. If you haven't yet, go check out the Price Increase Masterclass at SavvyGroomer.com/PIMC It's the step-by-step guide to figuring out exactly what to charge, how to communicate it without guilt, and how to handle any pushback like the pro you already are. Because you don't need to work harder — you just need to charge like someone who's already earned it. And friend, you have. Before we go, I want to leave you with this thought: You don't have to start December exhausted just because everyone else is. You can choose peace over pressure. Boundaries over burnout. Gratitude over guilt. Take a deep breath. Let it out. And say this with me: “I'm grateful for how far I've come. I honor my limits. My peace is profitable.” You've already done enough. You've already earned your rest. Now it's time to receive it. If today's episode hit home, share it with a fellow groomer who needs to hear that rest isn't failure — it's strategy. I highly suggest you check out our free Holiday Boundaries scripts and you can get that at SavvyGroomer.com/HolidayBoundaries And if you're ready to start the new year with confidence and clarity, grab your spot in the Price Increase Masterclass at SavvyGroomer.com/PIMC Until next time — stay grateful, take a nap, and as always… stay greedy, bitch.

How Close Is Your Jesus? Closer Than You've Ever Been Told. Discussion Questions: Read Romans 6:1-4. What three events were you baptized into? Is this about water baptism? If not, please explain. Read Galatians 2:20. Explain "it is no longer I who live" versus "the life I now live." Read Galatians 6:14. React to this statement: "The world has been crucified to me, and I to the world." Read Colossians 3:3-4, Ephesians 2:5-6, John 14:20, and 1 Corinthians 6:17. Focus on these four words: hidden, seated, in, and joins. What do these communicate about your closeness to God? Read Galatians 5:24. Notice that you did the crucifying this time. When did you crucify the flesh with its passions and desires? How? Read Romans 6:17, 1 Timothy 1:5, and 2 Corinthians 9:7. What do these passages have to say about your heart? Read John 1:16 and Colossians 2:9-10. React to this statement: You have received of His fullness, and in Him you have been made complete in Him.

(Philippians 4:4-7) It's the Sunday after Thanksgiving, and our conversation is all about joy and gratitude.
