HOSTS: Miranda Reiman and Mark McCully GUESTS: Tyler and Andy Musgrave  Musgrave Angus wants to be known for balanced, moderate cattle that thrive in different environments. On this episode brothers Tyler and Andy Musgrave share their philosophy on using their own sires vs. sourcing outside genetics, how they've created outliers while also remaining consistent, and the importance of maintaining the tradition Angus “look.” From Bando 1961 to LD Capitalist, they tell the stories of some of their most well-known sires and then give their outlook for the future challenge in the Angus breed.  Brothers Tyler and Andy Musgrave are the second generation to raise Angus cattle on their western Illinois farm. Since 1961 Musgrave Angus has been breeding and selecting cattle that work in the fescue grass environment and perform under the stress of a humid climate. Feet, fleshing ability, structure and phenotype set the base for their program. Their parents, Melvin and Cathy Musgrave, started the operation, and today Tyler and his wife, Sarah, and their four sons; and Andy, his wife, Beth, and their three sons each take on their own roles.SPONSOR: Ingram AngusAt Ingram Angus near Pulaski, Tenn., they have a code for doing business: “Integrity is what we stand by: good quality people who deal with good quality cattle.” Learn more about their program at IngramAngus.com. The whole Ingram crew wants to wish all the juniors “good luck” at their shows this summer. RELATED CONTENT: New Maternal EPDs Expand Selection Tools for Users of Angus Genetics The People Business  Don't miss news in the Angus breed.

But without that shift, growth tends to stall—no matter how good you are at the work itself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XnazHK1dUc Leo MacLeod is a leadership coach who helps technical pros build emotional intelligence and lead with empathy. He's the author of Coaching and Mentoring for Dummies and From the Ground Up, drawing on decades of experience. Through his business, Training Coaching Pie, he designs practical, people-first training that actually sticks.

In this episode, I'm bringing you behind the scenes of one of the most surreal and sacred moments in our family's journey — sitting on a mound of gravel on our land where we're building our future home. What looks like a simple photo of our twins on dirt is actually a decade in the making. Ten years of navigating marriage, paying off debt, learning to save, building a foundation of strategy, love, and communication — and facing all the fears and unknowns that come with big dreams. This episode is for anyone who's in the messy middle of building something — a home, a business, a better version of themselves. I'm sharing what it's really taken to get here, why it still doesn't feel real, and how we kept showing up even when we had no clue what we were doing. You'll also walk away with powerful coaching prompts to help you reflect on your own journey and stay anchored in your vision. Because whatever you're building? It's possible. It's worth it. And it's already unfolding — one day, one decision at a time. In This Episode, I Share: The surreal moment that stopped me in my tracks What 10 years of behind-the-scenes growth really looked like How we built a foundation without a blueprint The fear and freedom of doing something brand new Why your dream doesn't have to “feel real” yet to be happening 5 powerful coaching questions to help you take aligned action Journal Prompts: What vision are you building, even if it doesn't feel real yet? Where have you already shown up through fear, uncertainty, or obstacles — and come out stronger? What's one thing you can do this week to “be the who” that creates the results you want? What support or strategy would make your next big step feel more doable? If your future self could speak to you today, what would she say?

  In this episode of the podcast, host Javier Proenza is joined by Rhett Baruch, founder of the contemporary art space Rhett Baruch Gallery, for a candid conversation that moves fluidly between car culture and curatorial strategy—touching on everything from VTEC engines and flat-plane V8s to the architecture of gallery identity in Los Angeles. Baruch discusses his unconventional journey from car enthusiast to gallerist, tracing how a passion for craftsmanship, aesthetics, and the tactile qualities of objects evolved into a sharp curatorial practice. With no formal background in the art world, Baruch speaks to the DIY spirit that shaped the gallery's beginnings—from styling vintage design vignettes in his historic Little Bangladesh apartment to leveraging Instagram to cultivate a following of interior designers who would become his first collectors. Throughout the conversation, Baruch emphasizes materiality, intention, and relationships over trend-chasing or institutional pedigree. His eye for precision, born of a background in automotive performance and design, guides Rhett Baruch Gallery's focus on high-quality, often hand-built contemporary works—from the sculptural paintings of Cole Seager and Christopher Ríos to the minimalist interventions of Satoshi Okada. Informed by an understated spirituality and a quiet resistance to conventional art world hierarchies, Baruch's practice speaks to a broader shift in the collector landscape—one where emerging buyers are invited into the fold through aesthetics, storytelling, and trust. This episode offers an illuminating look at how one of LA's most distinct young galleries is redefining what a contemporary art space can be: refined but accessible, rooted in design yet committed to fine art, and always evolving. Highlights include: How Rhett Baruch transitioned from automotive culture to the contemporary art world The role of interior designers in seeding a new generation of art collectors Rhett Baruch Gallery's focus on material quality and process-based practices Thoughts on the art world's relationship to faith, aesthetics, and the "white cube" model Building credibility without an MFA or institutional affiliation Gallery branding, voice, and strategy—from vignettes to vernacular Featured Artists Mentioned: Jonathan Todryk, Cole Seager, Christopher Ríos, Edward, Linda Keeler, Satoshi Okada, Laura Walberg Rhett Baruch Gallery Website: www.rhettbaruch.com Instagram: @rhett.baruch.gallery Listen to the episode on: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | Patreon (early access) Subscribe, Rate & Review If you enjoyed this conversation, please leave us a five-star review, share the episode, and consider joining our Patreon for early access to new episodes. #ContemporaryArt #ArtPodcast #RhettBaruch #RhettBaruchGallery #LosAngelesArt #EmergingArtists #ArtCollecting #GalleryLife #ArtAndDesign #MaterialityInArt #ArtistInterviews #CarCultureToCurator #ArtWorldInsights

Imagine a baseball team that throws out the rulebook—not just for the game, but for how they do business. Meet the Savannah Bananas, a team that's less about scoring runs and more about sparking joy.Led by owner Jesse Cole, this isn't your typical sports team. As Jesse puts it, "We have no interest in being a billion-dollar business, but we want to create a billion fans." The Bananas have grown into a fan-driven phenomenon built on a simple but radical idea: put fans first and never stop entertaining. When most teams chase sponsorship dollars, the Bananas ditch ads and create experiences people can't stop talking about.Their approach is delightfully unconventional. They've removed third-party ticketing fees, sent handwritten thank-you notes, and featured players who might break into dance mid-game. Marketing that doesn't feel like marketing. The result? They recently sold out their first NFL stadium, are building a passionate fanbase, and proving that when you truly put people first, the money follows. Join Jesse, Kara, Carson, and host Dave Charest for this masterclass in customer experience that any business can learn from.Additional resourcesCreate and Manage TagsUnderstanding Contact SegmentationGetting Started with the Automation Path BuilderConnect your Shopify account to Constant ContactMeet Today's Guests: Jesse Cole, Kara Heater and Carson Bowen of Savannah Bananas

In this episode, I discuss the common challenges faced by business owners when hiring financial help. I offer a strategic approach to hiring financial support by explaining the importance of building your finance team from the ground up. I also emphasize the cost-effectiveness of hiring a rock-solid accounting specialist or clerk for day-to-day operations and then layering on a fractional CFO for high-level strategic advice. I highlight the pitfalls of hiring a high-cost CFO without adequate ground-level support, while drawing parallels to hiring a brain surgeon to perform basic tasks. Additionally, I also touch on the value of quality data, the role of a controller, and the importance of proper resource allocation. By the end of the episode, you will understand how to structure your financial team for maximum efficiency and value.   What you'll hear in this episode: [0:50] Hiring Financial Help for Your Business [2:55] Understanding the Role of a CFO [3:20] Cost and Value of Hiring a CFO [5:45] Building Your Finance Team from the Ground Up [9:05] The Importance of Quality Data   If you like this episode, check out: Do You Need a CFO in Your Business?
