Episode Description: In this episode of the Beet podcast, Logan chats with Jenny Angius and Sydney Roberts of Urban Roots in Reno, Nevada. On less than an acre, they're growing tons of food and building community. With raised and in-ground beds, their farm is a hands-on classroom for kids, parents, teachers, and students alike. About Urban Roots: Urban Roots began in 2009 with a mission to use gardening as a tool for S.T.E.A.M. education, environmental stewardship, and nutrition. In partnership with local schools, the program grew, leading to the creation of a teaching farm in west Reno that offers hands-on learning through camps, field trips, and teacher training. In 2017, Urban Roots expanded to its current location, where it cultivates produce and hosts year-round outdoor education. During the challenges of 2020, the organization adapted by launching at-home learning and indoor gardening kits, ensuring families could stay connected to nature and learning.

After 20 years in automation and controls engineering, Danny Murphy received a call from a local community college that would bring his journey full circle—back to the kind of impact his own high school electronics teacher once had on him. Today, he's a nationally recognized educator, named A3's 2024 Educator of the Year, and he's redefining what hands-on learning can look like in a modern mechatronics lab.In this episode, Danny shares how early challenges in the classroom led him to move beyond textbook instruction and introduce student-designed projects with real-world relevance. From programming robots to serve cereal and slice cake to engineering capstone challenges with custom tooling, his students are learning by doing—and developing the kind of technical and creative skills that employers notice.What began as a simple effort to share classroom activity on LinkedIn and Instagram has evolved into a powerful tool for student opportunity. With over 30,000 followers on Instagram and 11,000 on LinkedIn, Danny's short, engaging videos have led to direct job offers for students, new partnerships with engineers and PhDs, and a growing network of industry engagement. The results are tangible: students getting hired, programs gaining visibility, and technical education reaching far beyond the classroom.Listen to learn:How to transition from lecture-based teaching to hands-on, student-driven projects that boost engagementWhy adding creative freedom to technical labs leads to better retention and real-world problem-solvingA simple video strategy on LinkedIn or Instagram that can directly lead to student job offersWhat educators should consider before posting student work onlineHow showcasing student work publicly can attract industry partners and grow your program's reputation3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Student-designed projects increase both engagement and retention. Danny's students learn core concepts like user frames and loops by designing their own robotics challenges—whether it's scooping cereal or slicing cake. This creative freedom forces them to problem-solve, adapt, and truly understand the material, rather than just following instructions.2. Social media is a powerful tool for connecting students to real opportunities. By consistently posting short, authentic videos on LinkedIn and Instagram, Danny has helped at least six students get hired directly from what industry partners saw online. These platforms have become an extension of the classroom—offering visibility, credibility, and direct links to the workforce.3. Giving students real-world skills—and a teacher who believes in them—can change their lives. From project-based labs to job-ready training, Danny's classroom gives students more than technical knowledge; it gives them confidence, purpose, and a path forward. For many, it's the first time they've been truly seen for what they can do—and that recognition can be life-changing.Connect with Danny on Social Media:Instagram  |  LinkedInDon't forget to Ask Us Anything!We want to hear from you!

Welcome to the third episode in the Ashley's 'Right to Win' Product Knowledge Boot Camp series from Stories from the River. Charlie Malouf introduces Chris Berrier, Area Manager of Supernova in the North region. The conversation highlights the extensive boot camp training underway, which draws Memory Makers from three states, taking place in eight different host stores, with sessions led by experienced trainers like Teresa Thompson from Ashley Furniture's Field Sales team. The training focuses primarily on deepening product knowledge across various categories, while also weaving in essential sales techniques to help Memory Makers better connect with guests and boost both confidence and performance. Chris shares insights on the broader impact of such hands-on learning, emphasizing the vital role it plays in both immediate sales success and long-term growth for Broad River Retail. He points out that investments like these not only sharpen skills—embodying the "iron sharpens iron" philosophy—but also contribute to higher retention and better paychecks for HFCs (Memory Makers).  The conversation covers how Chris plans to sustain the momentum after the boot camp, from ongoing coaching to refresher activities, and reinforces the value of an open, eager approach to learning. Chris leaves listeners with advice for new Memory Makers: "Be a thief of knowledge," always ready to soak up information. Wrapping up, he suggests that bringing the sleep category into future training sessions will bolster confidence even further, and sums up the boot camp spirit with a proposed T-shirt slogan: "Be ready."

At the University of Wisconsin–Stout, the campus greenhouse is much more than a place to grow plants. “It’s a research space. It’s a teaching space,” says Dr. Keith Gilland, Associate Professor of Biology and Greenhouse Manager. “Students can do independent projects, and we support classes in biology and environmental science.” In fact, the greenhouse has become a hub of cross-department collaboration. Faculty and students from math and engineering are also involved in ongoing projects. One of the standout features is a small robot called a FarmBot. It’s a computer-controlled device that helps automate small-scale agriculture.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Victor Vogel, a former oncologist turned flight instructor, founded the nonprofit Susquehanna STEM to the Skies to improve STEM education in rural Pennsylvania. The aviation-based STEM program was launched to address declining science and math scores among students, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. By combining aviation concepts with hands-on learning, the program offers a powerful way to teach science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in real-world contexts. Victor discovered that aviation offers rich, practical applications for STEM—such as flight navigation, time-speed-distance calculations, weight and balance, and engineering challenges. At the heart of the program is a Redbird FMX full-motion flight simulator, which draws students to the airport and anchors immersive educational experiences. Victor quickly learned that involving educators—not just pilots—was critical. Today, the board includes school superintendents, career technical center (CTC) leaders, and drone experts. Students experience aviation careers beyond piloting, including aircraft maintenance, drone operation, medical helicopter crews, and aerospace engineering. Field trips, Girl Scout and Boy Scout aviation badge events, career fairs, and summer STEM camps all expose kids to high-demand aviation-related fields. Programs often include time in the simulator, tours of LifeFlight helicopters, and visits to maintenance hangars and paint shops. Partnering with Sun Technical Institute, the program offers career-track students opportunities to fabricate metal airplanes and build Mars rover kits. A Redbird J desktop simulator expands access for physically challenged students. Another initiative included building a pedal-powered Piper Cub with students, demonstrating how aviation and vocational trades can intersect creatively. Several success stories highlight the program's impact. One former flight attendant is now a multi-rated certified flight instructor after a single inspiring simulator session. Others have moved on to flight schools, the Air Force Academy, or regional airline careers. The program's ripple effect is also reaching educators. One high school band director attended the AOPA High School STEM Symposium, launched an aviation club, and introduced aviation curriculum into his school. The organization was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) in late 2020—just as the COVID-19 pandemic was surging. Despite the initial slow progress, Victor journaled his efforts during the pandemic, later publishing them in his book Pains and Planes, which captures both the struggle of cancer patients during COVID and his dream of launching a STEM nonprofit. Looking forward, Victor emphasizes the importance of finding volunteers—especially retired pilots, mechanics, teachers, and educators. He believes many people are simply waiting to be asked to contribute. He encourages others to replicate this aviation nonprofit model in their own communities by starting with educators, partnering with local airports, forming a nonprofit, and reaching out to media for visibility. For those inspired to launch a similar STEM and aviation program, Victor recommends building partnerships with school districts and intermediate units, seeking grants and donations, and always putting student engagement first. His program shows that aviation-based STEM education can uplift rural students and guide them toward rewarding careers.

This episode dives deep into the SWIFT analysis framework that's revolutionizing how personal trainers build sustainable, six-figure businesses without burnout.Unlike the traditional SWOT analysis, SWIFT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Improvements, Fears, Trajectory) provides actionable principles that translate directly to professional growth. The framework emphasizes building on strengths rather than dwelling on weaknesses, with practical strategies for implementing multiple revenue streams using the 60-30-10 rule: 60% from your primary service, 30% from a secondary service like nutrition coaching, and 10% from supplementary offerings.We share the exciting evolution of Show Up Fitness, from our partnerships with premium brands like Lifetime and Equinox to our new Atlanta internship launching June 9th. These collaborations aren't just name-dropping – they create concrete pathways for our certified trainers to secure positions commanding $150-300 per session, making six-figure incomes achievable in the first year. That's a stark contrast to the $40-50K typically earned with traditional certifications at entry-level positions.What sets our approach apart? We've completely reimagined the certification process with hands-on learning and practical assessments. Rather than relying on textbook knowledge and multiple-choice tests, our candidates demonstrate their abilities by training actual paying clients, designing programs on the fly, and showing deep anatomical understanding. The result? Trainers who deliver exceptional value and command premium rates because they produce premium results.The sobering reality is tWant to ask us a question?

This eye-opening episode tackles the pervasive problem of back pain—affecting a staggering 80% of the population—and reveals why cookie-cutter approaches fail while qualified trainers succeed.Through compelling real-world case studies, you'll discover the crucial differences between merely certified trainers and truly qualified movement specialists. We break down the biopsychosocial model of pain assessment, showing how biological factors, psychological experiences, and social circumstances all influence recovery. You'll learn exactly how proper screening determines whether a client needs simple movement modifications or medical referral, and why positive language like "discomfort" instead of "pain" creates psychological shifts that facilitate healing.The episode features detailed explanations of flexion intolerance versus extension intolerance, how to modify exercises for zero-irritation movement patterns, and the importance of establishing appropriate tissue capacity baselines before progressive overload. Most importantly, you'll understand why qualified trainers never simply say "do planks and bridges" or "never squat again"—fear-based approaches that dominate the industry but fail to address individual needs.Whether you're a trainer looking to elevate your skills or someone suffering from persistent back issues, this episode offers hope, concrete strategies, and a methodical approach to recovery.
