The Bible talks a lot about money—not to restrict you but to free you. Because the real danger isn't having money… it's letting money have you.

A strategic acquirer is a company buying to advance its own roadmap, distribution, or capabilities—unlike financial buyers (private equity, family offices) who buy primarily for cash flow. To a strategic, value may sit in what you've built, not what you've earned. Chris Hutchins' story makes the point. He co-founded Milk, acquired by Google, and later founded Grove, acquired by Wealthfront. Both saw assets they could plug in—product, team, IP—even when revenue and EBITDA weren't impressive. If you want a strategic acquirer to pay for what you've built rather than how much money you make, this episode of Built to Sell Radio is for you. You'll discover how to: • Define and prioritize the assets a strategic may value now (team, product, customer list, roadmap, even your lease) • Reframe your pitch so a distribution-rich buyer may see an immediate lift from your assets • Run a fast, momentum-led process that invites quick noes and surfaces real interest • Split assets across buyers when it improves the overall outcome • Protect employees and customers while you move quickly toward a decision If a strategic exit is on your radar, this playbook helps you create options when EBITDA won't carry the deal.

At the winter dance, a deadly chase unfolds with the killer.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR: MISTLETOE MURDERS – COLD WARNovember 7, 2025 | Hallmark Mystery ChannelCAST & CREW OF: MISTLETOE MURDERS – COLD WARSarah Drew as EmilyPeter Mooney as SamBRAN'S MISTLETOE MURDERS – COLD WAR SYNOPSISDetective Sam is still waiting for an answer: Who is Emily Lane?But she can't tell him. He leaves, hurt — but not before Emily says she really wishes they could've just taken that walk in the snow.Eleven months later, Emily is out for a jog. She's thought about leaving and starting over in another small town…but she just couldn't. She loves it in Fletcher's Grove.Cut to the diner: two teens are hanging out in a booth. One is Violet — Sam's daughter, who Emily no longer employs at The Mistletoe because of how things ended with Sam. The other is Kyle, and they are very clearly into each other.We also meet Tim Hinley, the chess coach. His team just lost, and he is a full-on grumpy elf.Later, Emily bumps into Sam. Awkward small talk. They go their separate ways.Then we see the football coach arrive home to find a note on his door. He reads it, looks panicked, grabs what appears to be a go-bag, jumps into his car, and speeds away.Speaking of go-bags — Emily has been much more cautious this year, constantly monitoring anything related to Chimera ever since they almost caught her last Christmas. She's never letting her guard down again.Violet asks Emily to teach her chess. Emily suggests she ask Coach Hinley. That's when Violet reveals: he's missing. After that day at the diner, he resigned and vanished.This sets off alarm bells. Emily goes to his house — something's off — so she takes the case to Sam. He says he'll look into it. After she leaves, we see he's still investigating who Emily really is.Emily goes to the school to drop off decorations for Violet and stumbles into the chess team competing. She meets Vice Principal Richard Leeland, who is now acting chess coach. Emily accidentally reveals she knows a lot about chess. Since he only stepped in to help his son on the team, he asks if she'll take over coaching. She says no.Emily continues to dig and hears rumors that Coach Hinley was romantically involved with a rival coach. Suspicious. She brings this to Sam, and it leads to a big argument.Emily finds the rival coach and asks about it. The coach denies everything — very aggressively — insisting she would never damage her reputation.Emily then stumbles upon Kyle fighting with the VP's son over chess drama — Janitor Ben Ayres steps in to break it up.Sam arrives and is like, Why are you everywhere?? He takes a call — Emily overhears — they found Tim's car at the airport… but his suitcase is still in the trunk.The next day, Emily returns to question the VP. On her way out, she chats with Janitor Ben — when a dog wanders in. It's Tim's dog.Who abandons their dog?They follow the dog into the basement, where it stops on a patch of new concrete.Emily calls Sam. Ground radar is brought in.There's a body.Sam later comes to Emily's house to update her, and sparks fly again — but he spots a piece of paper under her couch and quietly takes a picture of it.Meanwhile, Sam reviews security footage and sees Tim arguing with Kyle before Kyle punches the wall.That same day, Kyle asks Violet to the winter dance. She says yes… just as Sam walks in and arrests Kyle.Emily confronts Sam. He shows her a threatening note found on Tim's door. In order to help the investigation, Emily agrees to coach the chess team.Kyle returns after being released and insists he's innocent. Emily overhears the VP chewing out his son. She ends the day playing chess with Janitor Ben.It turns out the VP's son was selling stolen test papers, and Coach Hinley found out.Then the rival coach shows up to accept the full-time position — but Emily already took it. Emily sees Tim's lucky tie in her back seat, and Sam brings her in for questioning. Another big blow-up — but later they calm down and almost kiss. Again. Sam retreats… again.It's Winter Dance time!Violet grabs something from her locker and finds a note:“Stay away from Kyle. This is your only warning.”Emily, also at the dance, takes this chance to snoop in VP Leeland's office and finds practice sheets of Tim's signature.Meanwhile, Violet shows the note to the VP. He tells her to come with him.Emily is searching for Violet when she runs into Janitor Ben — who is distraught. He admits he wrote the warning note because he didn't want Kyle distracted from chess.Why does he care so much?Because — Kyle is his son.Kyle overhears and runs off in shock.Emily hears Violet scream and rushes to the VP's office. The VP's son just confessed everything — not realizing Violet was there.We learn the truth:Tim confronted the VP because he thought the VP killed his dog.The VP's son showed up, panicked, and shoved Tim.Tim fell — his head hit a coat hook, killing him instantly.The VP covered it up to protect his son.Sam arrives, hears the confession, and arrests him.Violet finds Kyle. They slow dance outside in the snow.Emily and Sam watch from a distance.Throughout the episode, we've seen flashbacks of Emily's past — how she joined a computer team and pitched a new game: Chimera.The final shot: Sam reviewing his notes, circling the word Chimera.

As the holiday season approaches, Belle Grove Plantation prepares to host its much-anticipated Kris Kringle Market. In a recent episode of "The Valley Today," host Janet Michael talks with Kristen Laise, Executive Director, and Paige Ulevich, Festivals Coordinator, to offer listeners an exclusive look at this festive event. Their conversation reveals how the market has evolved into a cherished community tradition, blending local craftsmanship, culinary delights, and family fun. From Pandemic Brainstorm to Annual Favorite The Kris Kringle Market began as a creative response to the challenges of 2020. Kristen recalls how the idea emerged to support small businesses struggling during the pandemic. "It's outdoors, it'll be safe—let's try it," she remembers. Since then, the market has flourished, now celebrating its sixth year and drawing crowds eager to kick off their holiday shopping in style. Early Bird Perks and Shopping Delights This year, the market introduces a special early bird shopping window. For a modest $2 donation, guests over 12 can access the market from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, ensuring first pick of unique, handmade goods. After noon, admission is free, as it is all day Sunday. Paige emphasizes the value of arriving early, noting that nearly 100 vendors will offer one-of-a-kind items, from fine art and woodwork to candles, jewelry, and gourmet foods. A Feast for the Senses Food lovers will find plenty to savor. Responding to past feedback, organizers have expanded the food truck lineup, featuring local favorites like Classy Caboose, Billy Sous, and the Rad Cookie Bake Shop. Additionally, Belle Grove's own winter beers and signature hot toddies from Copper Fox Distillery promise to keep visitors warm. For those seeking a taste of tradition, the market also offers German mulled wine and homemade hot chocolate. Activities for All Ages Beyond shopping and dining, the Kris Kringle Market brims with activities. Children can enjoy story time with Kris Kringle, ballet performances, juggling lessons, and rides on the White Lightning Barrel Train. Meanwhile, adults and kids alike can participate in wreath-making classes—though, as Kristen notes, these popular sessions fill up quickly. Roaming carolers and live music add to the festive atmosphere, ensuring entertainment for everyone. Community Spirit and Volunteer Power Transitioning from logistics to community impact, Janet highlights the behind-the-scenes efforts that make the market possible. Paige credits a dedicated team of around 30 volunteers, as well as an advisory committee that curates a diverse and high-quality vendor selection. The event also welcomes sponsors, with First Bank serving as a signature supporter this year. A Place for Memories and Meaningful Gifts The market's layout encourages exploration, with themed "neighborhoods" guiding visitors to their favorite booths. Kristen and Paige agree that the event is more than a shopping destination—it's a place to create memories, discover meaningful gifts, and connect with the artisans behind each product. For those seeking experiences over material goods, Belle Grove offers memberships and self-guided tours of the historic manor house. Looking Ahead: Let Freedom Ring Finally, Kristen shares that this year's Christmas theme, "Let Freedom Ring," honors the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States. Local garden clubs will interpret the theme in their holiday decorations, adding a layer of historical reflection to the festivities. Conclusion In summary, the Kris Kringle Market at Belle Grove Plantation stands as a testament to community resilience, creativity, and holiday spirit. With its blend of shopping, food, entertainment, and tradition, it promises a memorable start to the season for visitors of all ages. As Janet and her guests make clear, this is one event you won't want to miss. Learn more on their website and on their Facebook event page.

Kenji suggested, his voice tinged with a mix of fear and excitement.Ja: 「良いアイデアだろう?」ヒロシが笑顔で答えた。彼は、冒険とちょっとした危険が大好きだった。En: "Great idea, right?" Hiroshi replied with a smile. He loved adventure and a touch of danger.Ja: しかし、アキコは少し眉をひそめた。「竹に傷をつけるのは良くないよ、自然を大切にしよう」と言った。En: However, Akiko frowned slightly. "It's not good to harm the bamboo; we should cherish nature," she said.Ja: 「でも、面白そうじゃない?」ヒロシの説得に、アキコはため息をついた。「わかった、でも私は見張りね。竹を傷つけないようにね」En: "But doesn't it sound fun?" After Hiroshi's persuasion, Akiko sighed. "Alright, but I'll be on the lookout. Don't damage the bamboo."Ja: ヒロシはうなずき、「大丈夫、すぐに終わるから」と安心させた。En: Hiroshi nodded, assuring her, "Don't worry, it'll be over quickly."Ja: 三人は慎重に辺りを見回し、漢字で「H」「A」「K」と自分たちのイニシャルを竹に彫る場所を選んだ。En: The three of them carefully looked around and chose a spot to carve their initials "H", "A", and "K" into the bamboo.Ja: アキコは緊張しながら周囲を見張り、ケンジはほんの少しだけわくわくしながら、ヒロシが彫り始めるのを見守った。En: Akiko kept a nervous watch on their surroundings while Kenji, feeling a bit excited, watched as Hiroshi began to carve.Ja: しかし、突然、近くにパトロールしている公園管理人が現れた。En: However, suddenly a park manager on patrol appeared nearby.Ja: ヒロシはすぐに手を止めた。En: Hiroshi immediately stopped what he was doing.Ja: 「どうする?」ケンジが小声で言った。En: "What should we do?" Kenji whispered.Ja: 「落ち着いて、謝ろう」とアキコが提案した。彼女は管理人の方に向いて微笑んだ。「すみません、もうしません」。En: "Stay calm; let's apologize," Akiko suggested. She turned to the manager and smiled. "Sorry, we won't do it again."Ja: ヒロシとケンジも管理人に謝罪し、三人は管理人を和ませるためにその場で敬意を示した。En: Hiroshi and Kenji also apologized to the manager, showing their respect on the spot to ease the situation.Ja: 管理人は少し考えた後、彼らに注意をし、今回は警告だけで許してくれた。En: After thinking for a moment, the manager decided to just give them a warning this time and let them go.Ja: 公園を出ると、ヒロシは竹を振り返りながら言った。「次は記憶を心に残そう、自然をもっとリスペクトしなきゃ」。En: As they left the park, Hiroshi looked back at the bamboo and said, "Next time, let's keep memories in our hearts; we need to respect nature more."Ja: アキコは微笑んで、「ほら、やっぱり自然は大切だって」と言った。En: Akiko smiled and said, "See, after all, nature is precious."Ja: ケンジも彼らに頷いて、「でも少しの冒険も必要だね」と述べた。En: Kenji nodded at them, adding, "But a little adventure is necessary too."Ja: 三人は新たな信念と共に足を進めた。En: With a new conviction, the three friends moved forward.Ja: 嵐山竹林の静かな音は、彼らの心に新しい決意を刻んでいた。En: The tranquil sounds of the Arashiyama bamboo grove etched a new determination into their hearts.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit chadcrouch.substack.comOne thing I think you come to appreciate after some months or years of field recording, or intentional listening, is the variability of sound that conifers make when played by the wind.Where I live, I'm surrounded by conifers. Douglas-firs abound. They produce a sharp sound in the wind, occasionally what you might call a hiss. Just an hour to the east, beyond the crest of the Cascade Range, a more arid landscape plays host to ponderosa pine trees. The wind on their long, bundled needles is quite different. Because their needles are flexible and bundled together, they sway and brush against each other in waves, producing a softer sound. More of a shush. Words fail me here. You just have to listen.This recording captures the song of the pines as a backdrop for the birds that make this habitat their home.We hear Western Wood Pewee, Pine Siskin, American Goldfinch, Hairy Woodpecker, White-crowned sparrow, American Robin, Red-breasted Nuthatch, and California Quail—to name names—on a mild June evening near Glenwood, Washington. But what is it about ponderosa pine trees that they produce such a sonorous sound? According to field recordist Gordon Hempton, the pitch is a function of the length of the needle or blade of grass. “We can go back to the writings of John Muir, which — he turned me on to the fact that the tone, the pitch, of the wind is a function of the length of the needle or the blade of grass. So the shorter the needle on the pine, the higher the pitch; the longer, the lower the pitch.”-Gordon Hempton, recordistWhile that sounds plausible and is certainly memorable, it's not the whole story. It's not just about length; stiffness, density, bundling, and flexibility all matter too. All the complexity of the canopy structure goes into the sound. The turbulence of the wind moving between needles, branches and trunks, and the brushing of the needles against each other all plays a role. Take a guitar string; the string is fixed at both ends and vibrates at specific frequencies determined by its length, tension, and mass. Needles are only fixed at one end, so they're more like tines than strings. The frequency of a guitar string follows clear mathematical relationships: a string twice as long vibrates at half the frequency (one octave lower), assuming same tension and thickness. The sound of pine needles comes primarily from aerodynamics: wind flowing around needles creates fluctuations in the air. Needles twice as long do not whisper an octave lower; rather, they produce a lower range of pitches due to the lower frequency of movements and resulting turbulence they create. A string can produce a clear frequency. A needle produces a spectrum of frequencies; a texture. What can be said about all the variety of needles, leaves, and blades of grass and the sounds they make in the wind? Has someone attempted to map them? If there is such an inventory, I did not find it, but I did find the following observations made nearly seven centuries ago in an interesting piece of nature writing. It's observational, philosophical, and poetic all at once: Wind cannot create sound on its own: it sounds only in connection with things. It is unlike the ferocious clamor of thunder, which rumbles through the void. Since wind sounds only in connection with things, its sound depends on the thing: loud or soft, clear or vague, delightful or frightening—all are produced depending on the form of the thing. Though it may come into contact with earthen or rock pedestals in the shape of tortoises, sounds are not produced. If a valley is empty and immense, its sound is vigorous and fierce; when water gently flows, its sound is still turbulent and agitated—neither achieves a harmonious balance, and both cause man to feel fearful and frightened. Therefore, only plants and trees can produce suitable sounds.Among plants and trees, those with large leaves have a muffled sound; those with dry leaves have a sorrowful sound; those with frail leaves have a weak and unmelodic sound. For this reason, nothing is better suited to wind than the pine.Now, the pine as a species has a stiff trunk and curled branches, its leaves are thin, and its twigs are long. It is gnarled yet noble, unconstrained and overspreading, entangled and intricate. So when wind passes through it, it is neither obstructed nor agitated. Wind flows through smoothly with a natural sound. Listening to it can relieve anxiety and humiliation, wash away confusion and impurity, expand the spirit and lighten the heart, make one feel peaceful and contemplative, cause one to wander free and easy through the skies and travel along with the force of Creation. It is well suited to gentlemen who seek pleasure in mountains and forests, delighting in them and unable to abandon them.-Liu Chi, (1311–1375)Thanks for listening and reading.

You've heard, “the Bible says”… but what if it says something even better? Scripture is more revelatory, revolutionary, and relevant than we ever imagined — and it's time to see it with fresh eyes.
“Sometimes the most powerful conversations aren't about success — they're about what it costs to grow.”In today's episode, I sit down with Matthew Gauger, founder of Greenhorn Grove, a homesteader, husband, and father who's learning to build a life from the soil up — both literally and emotionally.Matthew opens up about his journey into homesteading, the hard lessons of self-reliance, and what it really means to live in alignment with your values. But this conversation also goes deeper — into the struggles within his marriage, the pressures of providing, and the courage it takes to face what's not working while still choosing growth.This isn't just a story about farming — it's a story about faith, honesty, and rebuilding. It's about what happens when the image of a perfect life gives way to something far more authentic.So settle in. This one's vulnerable, grounded, and full of heart — a real look at what it means to build something that lasts.https://www.thegreenhornguides.com/ Thank you for listening – if you're struggling to break free and need support – go to my website and www.lucasmack.com.

What does it look like to raise children with faith, grace, and courage in a world full of fear and comparison?In this heartfelt conversation, Shelley Giglio sits down with DeAnza Duron—pastor, mother of seven, and grandmother to twenty-one—to talk about the power of grace in motherhood, the gift of trust in God's plan, and the daily choice to live in peace instead of fear. Together, they discuss the foundational truths of parenting—keeping a clean heart, anchoring your home in God's Word, and raising children to love and serve others. They also tackle fear, trust, and joy—reminding every woman listening that peace is possible, joy is worth fighting for, and choosing life in Jesus changes everything.With warmth, humor, and deep faith, DeAnza shares stories of raising her kids (including her daughter and fellow Grove girl, DawnCheré Wilkerson), practical wisdom for moms in every season, and the reminder that God fills in every gap we miss. DeAnza's stories will remind you that you don't have to get everything right—because God fills in the gaps. From French toast breakfasts and scripture at the table to singing “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus” at bedtime, she shares how simple, faithful rhythms shape generations.Whether you're a mother or simply someone learning to trust God with what you can't control, this episode offers encouragement to fight for joy, walk in courage, and believe that grace is always enough.

It's time for a festive mystery twist! Alonso joins us to review the first installment of Mistletoe Murders: Poison in a Pear Tree, which we originally covered back in January after its debut on Hallmark+. Now that it's finally aired on the Hallmark Channel, we're re-releasing our full review for everyone to enjoy! Season 2 kicks off soon! ABOUT MISTLETOE MURDERS: POISON IN A PEAR TREEChristmas shop owner Emily Lane investigates a murder at a tree farm.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR MISTLETOE MURDERS: POISON IN A PEAR TREEOctober 31 2024 on Hallmark+, October 17 2025 on Hallmark ChannelCAST & CREW OF MISTLETOE MURDERS: POISON IN A PEAR TREESarah Drew as Emily LanePeter Mooney as Sam WilnerBRAN'S MISTLETOE MURDERS: POISON IN A PEAR TREE SYNOPSISThe episode kicks off with Emily Lane waking up from a nightmare. She runs a Christmas shop, Under the Mistletoe, in the small town of Fletcher's Grove. She brings her cat to see her friend, local vet June, and learns that her ex-husband, Marcus, proposed to June again. Part deux, if you will. June and Marcus go on a romantic carriage ride, but Marcus is acting strange and says he's just working on a surprise. Later, we see him meeting a man named Gordon and telling him he's done what he can for him and to just be patient. Gordon does not seem pleased.The next day, the police show up at Under the Mistletoe. A detective informs Emily that a man named Marcus is dead and that a cookie wrapper from her store was found at the crime scene. He insists on taking all the cookies from the shop. June shows up and fills Emily in—Marcus was found dead. She suspects his ex-girlfriend, Lizzie Cline, who he was seeing until shortly before getting back together with June, might have been on the wagon ride that night.Emily immediately gets to work, tracking down Lizzie at her job and asking hard-hitting questions—like, “Wagons?!” Speaking of wagons, Emily visits the owner of the wagon rides, Gordon. Something seems to be bothering him, and Emily suspects it's a hangover.Later, Emily heads into the woods and finds scuff marks on a tree, almost as if someone recently climbed it. Sneaky as ever, Emily snaps a picture of the list of everyone who was on the wagon that night. There's one person she can't track down—a man named Joey.While Emily and June are at the diner, June gets arrested. Emily confronts Detective Sam, who refuses to confirm or deny whether they found the poison that killed Marcus in June's house, but his terrible poker face says it all.Emily discovers that Marcus denied Gordon a bank loan, leaving Gordon's business in serious trouble. When Emily breaks into Marcus's home, she finds a USB drive and a bookmark tucked into a pregnancy photo album. The USB contains a document for the sale of Gordon's farm—but it's unsigned. When she confronts Gordon, she spots some suspicious men leaving his house. Gordon reveals that Marcus asked for more time.Before Emily can leave, Gordon collapses. While waiting for the police, Emily has a flashback to a high-stakes moment from her past, where a building explodes behind her. It's clear she moved to Fletcher's Grove to lay low.Detective Sam arrives, suspicious when he finds out Emily called in Gordon's collapse. She insists she's just trying to help her friend. Sam reluctantly asks her to keep him in the loop because, well, it's Hallmark—amateur sleuths and cops have to work together. It's practically a law.Emily teams up with a local informant named Ray, who knows all the town gossip. He reveals that Gordon recently had his gambling debt paid off, though it's unclear by whom. Emily also grows suspicious of Marcus's co-worker, Rowan. When she confronts him, he has an explanation for everything. Under pressure, she convinces him to share Marcus's bank statements, which reveal a $40,000 withdrawal just before his death.Emily forms a theory: Marcus paid off Gordon's debt as a down payment for the farm, but Gordon had second thoughts because his daughter believed the farm was hers. Emily pitches her theory to Gordon's daughter, Anna, but it doesn't go over well.One night, Emily confronts Lizzie, who admits she didn't mean for Marcus to get hurt. Lizzie reveals that she's pregnant with Marcus's baby. She wanted to tell her boyfriend, Trent, but couldn't. When she told Marcus, someone must have overheard. Lizzie then received a text demanding $40,000. Marcus got the money and met her in the woods, where they shared a cookie. Emily realizes the cookie couldn't have been poisoned and goes to the police to secure June's release.Emily deduces that Gordon wasn't the blackmailer—he doesn't even know how to text—but Anna does. Anna confesses to the blackmail but denies being involved in the murder.Emily discovers that Rowan was secretly sleeping in Gordon's barn. In his bag, she finds the poison that killed Marcus. Rowan knocks Emily out, and when she wakes up, both she and Anna are tied up. Rowan admits he wanted to kill Gordon to stop the sale of the farm. He poisoned Marcus's flask, which Marcus drank from before confronting the blackmailer. Rowan plans to poison Emily and Anna and frame Anna for everything.Emily reveals that she hid her phone and has been recording Rowan's confession. While he searches for the phone, Emily and Anna spook a horse to knock him out. They escape, call the police, and Rowan is arrested.Detective Sam tells Emily they'll discuss everything soon but is relieved she's safe.In the end, Gordon survives, Lizzie tells Trent about the baby, and Sam and his daughter sing Christmas karaoke. Everything seems fine—until the final scene, where Emily opens a black box from her old life and smirks, hinting at secrets yet to come.

Ole Miss football wraps a two-week road trip at Oklahoma on Saturday. The Rebels will spend most all of November in Oxford. They'll host each of South Carolina, The Citadel and Florida the first three weeks before concluding the regular season at in-state rival Mississippi State for the Egg Bowl. Ole Miss already features one of college football's best game-day atmospheres — from tailgating in the Grove and the Walk of Champions, to fly-overs and in-game drone shows. The school has ‘got some things cooking' for the final run, according to Drew Ingraham, Ole Miss senior associate athletics director for external engagement. Ingraham joined Ole Miss Spirit contributor Brad Logan for a podcast on Thursday.Plus, Ole Miss basketball is also set to open on November 3. The Rebels are entering their third season under head coach Chris Beard. They won 24 games a year ago and matched the program's greatest single-season accomplishment by reaching the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.Our Sponsors:* Check out Underdog Fantasy and use my code CHAMPIONS for a great deal: https://underdogfantasy.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
