When you stop forcing what's not meant for you, life starts working in your favor. Show Notes: In this reflective Shark Theory episode, Baylor Barbee shares a conversation that begins with a story about a chicken hawk and turns into a lesson about presence, alignment, and purpose. From business to relationships, Baylor explores why the best things in life happen when you're where you're supposed to be—and how forcing situations almost always leads to broken outcomes. He also reminds listeners of one of the simplest but most transformative success principles: Be where your feet are. When you're fully present in your own life, you begin to see opportunities, lessons, and beauty that were always there—you just weren't looking. What You'll Learn in This Episode: How being present helps you see life's hidden opportunities Why forced success never lasts The importance of aligning your environment with your values How to surround yourself with like-minded people without losing individuality Why slowing down is sometimes the fastest way to get ahead Featured Quote: "If you're honest with yourself, the moments that felt effortless weren't luck—they were alignment."

We trace Joshua 10 from five kings attacking Gibeon to God's hail and a halted sun, then pivot to why Scripture says the day was unique: God listened to a man. We rethink prayer habits—short, corporate, faith-filled—and ask God to involve us in the answer.• five kings unite against gibeon• overnight march and panic in the enemy• hailstones fall and tip the battle• sun stands still to complete the victory• kings trapped, feet on their necks• gospel thread from joshua to jesus• prayer as the hinge between god's work and ours• corporate prayer as the biblical norm• faith over fluency, short prayers welcomed• gratitude as a regular practice in prayer• asking to be part of the answer, not just the outcome If you want to learn more about the MidTree story or connect with us, go to our website HERE or text us at 812-MID-TREE.

In this beautiful conversation, I'm talking with jewelry artist Dawn Hemstreet of Hawk, Hummingbird & Moon. Dawn has this thoughtful, unfiltered way of sharing her story that I know will pull you right in. She came to jewelry later in life, around 49, and her path is such a reminder that it's never too late to listen to that tug inside and step into something new.In our conversation, Dawn talks about the evolution of her work—from metal clay to fabrication, from jewelry into the possibility of objects—and how she follows curiosity even when it means starting over. We also get into the harder parts: burnout, doubt, the grind of shows, and what it feels like to wonder, “Do I still love this?” She doesn't shy away from naming those struggles, but she also shows how resilience and curiosity keep her moving forward.What struck me most is how she speaks about belonging—about finding her own sense of worth even when family didn't fully understand, and about the unexpected support from strangers that helped carry her through. We talk about showing up authentically, online and in person, and how connection often comes simply from being ourselves, flaws and all.This is a conversation about making, yes—but it's also about strength, self-trust, and the freedom to define success on your own terms.Follow along...Dawn on Instagram: @dawnhemstreet.jewelryDawn's website: hawkhummingbirdmoon.comLove the Podcast?Support an episode: ⁠⁠⁠Click here to learn more!⁠⁠⁠Without your support I couldn't continue the Slowmade Podcast.

Swainson's Hawks make an incredible journey every year, migrating 12,000 miles round-trip from North America's prairies to Argentina's pampas. What makes them truly unique is their diet. Most hawks hunt rodents and reptiles, but Swainson's Hawks switch to insects, feasting on grasshoppers and locusts in South America. In the 1990s, this diet nearly led to disaster when pesticides in Argentina killed over 20,000 hawks in two years. But a successful international conservation effort saved them.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

NOTICE: This weekly show is now part of the "Happy Hour with John Gaskins" daily podcast, which you can find at SiouxFallsLive.com, MidwestSportsPlus.com, and most podcast platforms like the one you find here! So, if you enjoy the topics Matt & John cover, you'll get those topics, plus relevant local guests, every Monday through Thursday on Happy Hour... so we highly recommend you check that out! Forgive us for not taking it "one game at a time" like coaches always preach.Even in today's modern college football world of just about anything unimaginable happening — Indiana vaulting to a No. 3 ranking two years after being dog meat, Jimmy Rogers and his 33-point underdog "Washington State Jackrabbits" almost beating No. 4 Ole Miss — many football fans in the Dakotas are already looking ahead to next week.While No. 1 North Dakota State and No. 2 South Dakota State hunker down for road games at perennial MVFC doormats Indiana State and Murray State on Saturday, "Nobody's Listening Anyway" hosts John Gaskins and Matt Zimmer dare compare the FCS big dogs' resumes and opine on how ready the seemingly vunerable Jacks are for the seemingly teflon Bison.Specifically, is the "bust" part of the boom-or-bust SDSU offense concerning if not alarming? Will the return of top wideout Lofton O'Groske erase those concerns?At the top of many fans' minds is the potential return of ESPN's College Gameday to Brookings for the Dakota Marker Game? Is the breathless lunging at the Mother Ship on social media worth it? Well, yeah, considering the vivid and fun memories that Zim shares of the crew's broadcast the morning of this matchup in 2019.  This leads into a discussion about the merits and misery of watching Pat McAfee, or of being co-host A.J. Hawk on McAfee's daily show.After that sidetrack, a discussion about the emergence of freshman quarterbacks at both Augustana and USF — Rich Lucero, Jr., and Tate Schafer. Then, about USD and its ugly but effective 19-14 win at Indiana State and if the Coyotes' clear establishment of their identity is serving them well enough to for monster final month of showdowns against Top 25 Valley teams.Finally, what does Zim make of the Matt Rhule era at Nebraska now that the end may be near, with speculation he's a top candidate for the Penn State opening and the former PSU linebacker expressing unabashed love for both institutions upon being asked about the position on Monday.

Due to some family circumstances, I was unfortunately not able to record with Rob while I was in Oklahoma, but I did manage to catch up with him after the fact and get his recording done later remotely. I was happy to do so, since it has been six years since he recorded his episode with my old partner Israel with Falconry Told, and he's another falconer I wanted the chance to do a follow up episode with. We talked about where he's at with falconry now, some of his experiences building drones and flying them to train his birds, a new experience flying a red-naped shaheen, and other good stuff!
