Eddie Ramirez took an unconventional route into strength and conditioning. He spent his teenage years and early twenties as a competitive breakdancer before a friend showed him that college strength coaching was even a career path. Internships at Syracuse and Texas followed, and by the time he wrapped his stint with Texas football in 2019, he knew this was what he wanted to do for good.Now in his fourth year at Indiana University, Ramirez works with volleyball, men's and women's swimming and diving, and men's golf. Volleyball has been his primary focus, and he's been direct with his athletes from day one. Competing with programs like Wisconsin, Purdue, and Nebraska, teams that lean on deep talent pools, meant Indiana needed something else to close the gap. Ramirez calls it grit, and he builds it by refusing to sugarcoat hard training while staying honest with his athletes about his own tough stretches.That same directness shapes how he works with the program's international athletes. Rather than expecting them to adjust to a new sport system and a new country on the same timeline as everyone else, Ramirez has taught himself greetings and coaching cues in his athletes' native languages, including Russian and Turkish, to shorten the adjustment period and build trust early.Key Takeaways- Competing with programs that out-talent you requires a deliberate culture decision, not just harder workouts. Ramirez tells his volleyball team upfront that training will be uncomfortable, and backs it up by being vulnerable about his own hard moments.- International athletes are managing two adjustments at once: a new training system and a new country. Ramirez shortens that gap by learning basic phrases and coaching cues in their language.- Skill progression should be athlete-paced, not calendar-paced. If a full clean takes a year to teach safely, that's the timeline he uses.- His own path into the field was nontraditional. Five years as a competitive breakdancer came before he even knew college strength and conditioning existed as a job.- He's actively working to close a skill gap this year: getting sharper with GPS and data tracking through Catapult.Quote Block"It's not because I hate you guys or think you're out of shape. We've got to have a little extra when we're competing against these big-name teams."- Eddie Ramirez, Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach, Indiana University

In this episode of the 17 County Podcast, we sit down with Felicity Johnson, a recent York University graduate and summer intern with the York County Visitors Bureau, to talk about finding opportunities close to home and discovering everything York County has to offer. Felicity shares how growing up in the area, her experience at York University, and the connections she built along the way led her to an internship focused on tourism and community promotion. We talk about the projects she's working on this summer, the hidden places and stories she's discovering across York County, and why internships and local connections can create meaningful opportunities for young professionals. She also shares her perspective on small-town life, why there's more to do in York County than people may think, and how learning to appreciate the quiet, simple moments has shaped the way she sees her community. If you're a student, a young professional, or someone who thinks they already know everything York County has to offer, this episode might inspire you to take another look.

On Monday 13 July 2026 representatives from across the sight loss sector along with a number of employers and visually impaired people came together at the House of Lords for the launch of the Employment Gap Report: Out of Sight – Out of Work by Lord Holmes which is making recommendations for Government and the Department of Work and Pensions to bridge the gap in employment for blind and partially sighted people. RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey was at the launch event and caught up with Josh Feehan, Head of Internships, Thomas Pocklington Trust who gave a presentation at the event.(Image shows the RNIB Connect Radio logo.

The job search isn't broken because you're not trying hard enough. It's broken because nobody told you the rules changed. Eric Woodard spent 25 years inside the White House, State Department, and Smithsonian. Here's what he knows about trust, AI, and getting hired in 2026.Kevin sits down with Dr. Eric Woodard, ICF Master Certified Coach and founder of Win at Work, who spent over 25 years inside the White House, U.S. State Department, and the Smithsonian. Eric has coached job seekers in over 70 countries.Kevin and Eric dig into why the hiring system feels broken, how AI is already screening candidates before a human ever sees a resume, and why staying human is the real competitive edge in 2026. Eric breaks down the difference between professional and formal, why trust beats skill in every hiring decision, and how making an interview about the employer instead of yourself changes everything.If you're job hunting, recently laid off, or mentoring someone starting their career, this conversation gives you a new way to think about the whole process.Key TakeawaysThe hiring system isn't fair or logical. Since it's not, you don't have to play by rules that don't existTrust, not skill, is the real reason anyone gets hiredHiding details (age, gaps, language) destroys trust faster than revealing them doesAI is useful for fixing mechanics (grammar, tense) but soulless for anything relationalBeing human is the competitive edge in an increasingly automated hiring processMake the interview about them, not you. Curiosity beats credentialsEarly career is the time to run experiments and build real experience, not chase passionDr. Eric Woodard is an ICF Master Certified Coach and founder of Win at Work.

Artificial intelligence is transforming not just our workplaces, but the very nature of education and professional development. Our guest this week, Michael Noble, Vice President of Academic Program Development at Western Governors University (WGU), shares his views on how higher education can rise to the current moment, bridging the gap between academic learning, employable skills, and the changing needs of the workforce. We also dig into how WGU's innovative approach might become a template for organizations and educational institutions navigating the AI era. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...[00:00] Upskilling entry-level talent with AI[03:59] Integrating liberal arts with tech skills[09:34] Discussing higher education trends[15:36] Creating personalized skill-based curriculums[26:13] Leveraging WGU's alumni network[29:14] Challenges in employee development[31:43] Impact of AI on job training[35:17] Integrating philosophy into the curriculum[48:40] Specialization vs. flexibility[55:28] Finding fulfillment through creative workFrom Degree to CompetencyHigher education is experiencing a moment of reckoning around its relevance for today's job market. Traditional models have long focused on grades and credit hours, but WGU centers its model on competency-based education. Students demonstrate mastery of validated competencies—skills verified through rigorous assessment, rather than simply accumulating classroom hours or participation credits. This approach better aligns with employer demands, emphasizing what learners can actually do rather than what they have passively experienced.WGU's adaptability has enabled it to cater to working adults seeking career advancement, and to students entering directly from high school, who now make up over 40% of its enrollment. By focusing on practical skills and direct assessment, WGU is closing the gap between academic learning and the immediate needs of employers, allowing for more individualized and efficient upskilling.The Power and Challenge of University-Corporate PartnershipsWith AI and automation taking over many entry-level tasks, companies and universities face a new imperative: how do we prepare new hires for roles that require immediate impact and advanced judgment, skipping the traditional ramp-up provided by routine tasks? We discuss WGU's partnerships with companies like CVS Health, where tailored programs help pharmacy techs advance within the organization and are supported by real-time competency and skills data.Internships, micro-internships, and simulated externships emerged as critical solutions for giving students hands-on, relevant experience. Aligning incentives between corporations seeking skilled workers and universities eager to prove their graduates' real-world readiness could radically reshape how both sectors approach workforce entry.AI as a Catalyst for Change in Learning and DevelopmentAI isn't just changing what skills are needed, but how learning itself happens. WGU is embracing AI-native tools—virtual assistants for students, personalized learning feedback, and AI-assisted evaluation—to both scale quality learning and support the work of instructors and curriculum developers.This technological shift is also transforming the structure of learning and development teams. Specialists are becoming “augmented generalists,” using AI tools to speed up design, delivery, and personalization, but the need for deep expertise and sound judgment remains crucial. Just because something looks polished doesn't mean it's fully accurate or effective.Recognizing that many students lack the networking advantages of elite institutions, WGU is using its growing alumni network, piloting programs that help students connect with industry veterans, and offering achievement “wallets” to showcase their skills and experiences—key ingredients in leveling the playing field for career advancement. Resources & People MentionedOffice of the President Scott Pulsipher Bryan Alexander: Georgetown University Ruth Bader GinsburgMidwest Innocence Project Connect with Michael NobleMichael Noble on LinkedIn Connect With RedThread ResearchWebsite: RedThread ResearchOn LinkedIn

Top-tier university students are increasingly abandoning traditional corporate internships in favor of hacker homes and startup incubators located in Silicon Valley. These programs provide residents with hands-on experience, direct access to venture capital investors, and networking opportunities with industry mentors. The shift is driven by the rise of AI-driven automation, which is currently making entry-level job security more uncertain for recent graduates. Institutions like Yale and Northeastern are adapting to this trend by supporting residential residencies and co-op programs that prioritize real-world entrepreneurship. While some critics argue that these ventures are risky without strong financial backing, many students view them as the best way to enter the competitive artificial intelligence race. This movement represents a significant evolution in how elite students prepare for a rapidly changing workforce.

When it comes to the path from education to financial security, the "golden ticket" narrative we grew up with is showing significant cracks. Today, students who work hard and play by the rules find themselves facing a steep experiential paradox: entry-level job listings frequently require multiple years of prior work history, yet securing a competitive, paid internship during college has become arguably more selective than gaining admission to an Ivy League university. This structural failure leaves massive pools of early career talent stranded, widening inequalities across the socioeconomic spectrum.In this episode, we sit down with Jane Swift, CEO of Education at Work and former Governor of Massachusetts, to dissect the friction points spanning K-12, higher education, and the workforce. Drawing from her historical role in crafting Massachusetts' legendary 1993 Education Reform Act and her current appointment to the National Assessment Governing Board, Jane brings unmatched policy expertise to the table. We discuss why state education metrics were sliding long before the pandemic hit, the hidden societal headwinds impacting the adolescent brain, and why wealthy families find alternative academic safety valves while low-income and first-generation students are left behind.Finally, we turn our attention toward actionable solutions for the future of work-based learning. Jane shares how Education at Work is successfully building an instructional workflow layer that partners with Fortune 500 giants to scale paid corporate roles for thousands of students. She also lays out a provocative blueprint for the future: reimagining rigid public funding models and forcing higher education institutions to leverage their massive institutional procurement power to mandate paid career opportunities for the very students they serve. Tune in for an honest, deeply experienced look at what it takes to rebuild the system from the ground up.

They are getting top notch on-the-job training by industry professionals while still in high school. On this episode of the Supercast, hear from some high school students themselves about all the benefits of internships offered in Career and Technical Education or CTE. Find out how internships allow juniors and seniors to have fun doing what they love, while exploring career paths, building professional networks, gaining industry-recognized skills, and earning high school credit. Audio Transcription Teacher: They're working in an area that they're interested in pursuing once they graduate from high school. Student: I've always been passionate on working things, but you know mostly cars and smaller pickup trucks, so working on a bus, it's a whole other story. Student: I love the relationships that we have with everyone here. It feels like you actually work here. [Music] Anthony Godfrey: Hello and welcome to the Supercast. I'm your host, Superintendent Anthony Godfrey. They are getting top-notch on-the-job training from industry professionals while still in high school. On this episode of the Supercast, hear from some high school students themselves about the many benefits of internships offered in Career and Technical Education, or CTE. Find out how internships allow juniors and seniors to have fun doing what they love while exploring career paths, building professional networks, gaining industry-recognized skills, and earning high school credit. [Music] Anthony Godfrey: We are here at the Transportation Department talking with Melissa about the internship that students are participating in here as mechanics in the Transportation Department. Melissa, introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about this program and how it works. Teacher: Sure. So my name is Melissa Goble. I'm the CTE internship teacher for Jordan School District. This program is …. the students apply for it. They interview. We place interns in all CTE pathways. This just happens to be one of them. Once they're in the program, they have to get a minimum of 40 hours of internship time, and then they also complete a LinkedIn profile. We work on some employability skills, things like that. We just help mentor them through the semester. Anthony Godfrey: A lot of the internships are created with outside companies and other groups, but we get to benefit from these students and what they're learning right here in the Transportation Department. That's what's unique about this one. Teacher: Yes. It's great. We are very excited that our own district took on students. We're hoping that it will spread the excitement because it is beneficial. The kids get to be invested in their district. They're getting to learn new things, and they're with our own people. Anthony Godfrey: Now, you started recently in your role in the last year or two, and I have seen a real uptick in just presence on LinkedIn, and internships have really been propelled since you started, and we've added this emphasis on internships. Just talk generally about what would attract a student to an internship and the kinds of internships that we have available in the District. Teacher: What attracts them, generally what I find, attracts them to the internship is the opportunity to work with industry. They're working in an area that they're interested in pursuing once they graduate from high school. They're meeting people who could give them recommendations, mentor them, help point them in the right direction. Sometimes they know what they want to do, but they don't know how to get there. I also have students who come to my program because they think they know, and then they find out that they want to go a little bit different direction, which is also a great way to get through my program. Anthony Godfrey: It's the perfect time to find out that this is not the career for you. A lot of times people love what they try, but if you don't, this is the time to find out, and that's long been something I knew was a benefit of CTE programs. Teacher: Absolutely. And they also, when they're working in industry, they find out that there's pathways they didn't even know about that are related to what they're interested in. It's just this might be a little bit more interesting, or it might be a little bit more accessible for them. And so that is awesome as well. And then we have, we do have a lot of internships. In fact, I have joked that I'm getting to the point where we have more internships than I have students right now. I need to switch my focus a little and really start targeting them because we've had so many great industry partners step up and offer us multiple opportunities. And from anything from our diesel students, we've got students who are doing aviation internships, engineering, business, all over. We're all over the place. Anthony Godfrey: So if someone with a business is listening and they think, "I'd love to have a couple of interns and I think I'm aligned with the CTE pathway," do they just reach out to you? We can put your email address in the show notes, and then you can get them set up with some great students. Teacher: Yeah, yeah, that would be great. I also can help them get into the schools a little bit before they take interns. If they want to do some job shadows or maybe a tour or something like that, I'm absolutely the person that can help them. Anthony Godfrey: Fantastic. Is a job shadow kind of a precursor to an internship sometimes? Teacher: Yeah, so we do have some programs that, well, in fact, Diesel, they go in their first semester, they spend time doing job shadows, so they'll spend just a few hours at different locations and they get to see different types of industry that's within their field. And then we go for the internships second semester. Anthony Godfrey: Wonderful. Well, thank you very much for everything you're doing to provide these opportunities for students and for businesses to benefit from these great students We talked about what businesses can do. If a parent or student's listening and they would like to be part of an internship next year, how do they go about doing that? Teacher: Well, there's a couple of ways that they can do that. First, the JordanTech.org is our website and our applications open every year in February, March timeframe. They can apply that way or my application actually stays open all year and they can go out to JordanTech.org again, but go to the CTE internship webpage and I have information there that they can apply. So it involves doing a resume and letting me know what they're interested in. And then I also should mention that one of the requirements for applying to my program is that they do have to have some coursework in their background. Anthony Godfrey: Okay. Wonderful. Richard, let's talk about Diesel Mechanics specifically and these students. Introduce yourself and tell us the history of internships in the Diesel Mechanics program in Transportation. Richard Burrell: My name is Richard Burrell. I'm the shop coordinator, shop foreman for Jordan School District here. I have 15 employees out here in the shop with me. We keep tabs on about 500, 600 vehicles. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Wow. Richard Burrell: So we're a full-time job. Anthony Godfrey: Millions of miles. Richard Burrell: Every day. So, and the internship, when I first started back in 1989, internship, we'd take on the interns from the schools like we did here, the colleges. And we would bring a couple of kids in and they'd work with us and the object of the game is to give them every chance what we do out here every day. I mean, oil changes, we do that a lot, but we do brake jobs, we do engine work, we do everything out here. So these kids, three kids right here, get in the middle of it all. I put them with each mechanic out there. It takes on a kid. It's a supervisor position. So they watch him and they teach him everything that goes on out here and what we have to do. Some days it's repeatedly learning how to do services, but they get into other things too, brake jobs and everything else and go with it. It takes a lot to keep these things on the road every day. Anthony Godfrey: Yes, it does. And we're glad to have their help. Tell me about these three students. Richard Burrell: These are great kids. They came in during their spring break time to work with us because we worked here. So they wanted to come in and keep playing. So we let them come in and work with us. Anthony Godfrey: That's awesome. Richard Burrell: And they enjoy what they're doing out here. And they're seven o'clock in the morning, they're here and they're here till ten o'clock every or twice a week. And they love what they do. Anthony Godfrey: I didn't know I was showing up so late into their shift here. Richard Burrell: I told them they had to stay somewhat clean today. Anthony Godfrey: All right. Well, all bets are off after we're done. You can get nice and dirty. Well, thank you for everything that you're teaching these students and the opportunities you're providing for them. Richard Burrell: We love these kids. They're good. Hopefully it can work out. When some of us retire, we can move other kids into this place. Anthony Godfrey: Well, you started just after Reagan was no longer president. So I mean, hopefully we have you for a few more years. Richard Burrell: Not too many more. But there's a few. Anthony Godfrey: All right. We'll get you for as long as we can have you, Richard. Stay with us when we come back. Hear from student interns in our own Transportation Department and find out what they are up to as diesel mechanics working on our school buses.

Female Voice: Does your student want to become a veterinarian, commercial pilot, programmer? Maybe they want to make a difference as a dental assistant. These are just some of the programs offered as part of career and technical education. CTE in Jordan School District. CTE provides the technical skills needed to prepare students for future employment or for a successful transition to post-secondary education. Career and Technical Education provides work-based learning opportunities. We partner with industry experts to offer apprenticeships and internships with students working in the real world at real jobs while going to school. The CTE experience starts in our elementary schools with the Kids' Marketplace and grows through middle and high school. To explore all CTE has to offer in Jordan School District, visit cte.jordandistrict.org today and let's get your child started on the pathway to a profession. Anthony Godfrey: All right, Richard. We're walking through the facility here and this is just a few years old. Talk to me about this facility. Richard Burrell: This is a four-year-old shop. We had it, the District, finally had it built four years ago. It's the best one in the state. Everybody's dreaming on it. Anthony Godfrey: Good. I like hearing that. Richard Burrell: Fourteen days. I have enough for everybody to do their work on here. These morning guys right here, these are the guys that do all the heavy stuff for me. These are the ones the kids work with. I split them up with each mechanic out here. Carl right here is doing suspension work on this thing. He's been noisy for the last two days out here. We're doing engine work. We do all sorts of stuff here. These guys stay busy and these kids like to learn. I split them up differently every day. So if he does suspension one day, he'll do something else the next day. Anthony Godfrey: Oh yeah, so they get the variety. Richard Burrell: They've got to get in there and learn. Yep. Anthony Godfrey: Yep, great. Male Voice: Chase that wire. And he started from the battery. It's right here at the battery that he's... Anthony Godfrey: We're talking now with three students here who are part of the Diesel Mechanics internship program in Transportation. Tell me your name, your grade, what school you're from, and then we'll talk a little bit about this program. Student: My name is Fred Bond. I'm a senior at Bingham High School. Student: Maverick Brown, also a senior at Bingham. Student: I'm Garrett Lewis and I go to Mountain Ridge. I'm a senior. Anthony Godfrey: Tell me what drew you to this program. What got you interested in Diesel Mechanics? Student: I've just been working on cars in my driveway for years. My dad works with FedEx and so I've just always been around semi-trucks and heavy-duty diesel. And so when I eventually got to the point where I was kind of looking for a career to go into, I decided that just being a mechanic was where I wanted to go, and I kind of went towards diesel because, like I said, I've been around them a long time. And so I got the opportunity to come here, and I just love doing it. Anthony Godfrey: Your experience here has made you more interested in becoming a diesel mechanic. Student: Absolutely. Anthony Godfrey: What is it about the experience that you've liked the most? Student: Just the way they work. It's kind of they give you time to do everything the right way. You're not rushed. You're able to do everything 100 percent, get it back on the road the way it came from the factory. Anthony Godfrey: Fantastic. What do you love most about this program? Student: I like the real-world experience, like actually working in a workplace environment. It's more professional, and it looked at on resume, and we get to actually work on things. Anthony Godfrey: Is the work harder or easier than you thought? Student: It's heavier. Anthony Godfrey: Describe that. Student: Well, everything's heavy. Just like him, I've always been passionate on working things, but mostly cars and smaller pickup trucks. So working on a bus, it's a whole other story. Everything's tripled the weight and size. Anthony Godfrey: Have you been able to convert a school bus into a transformer yet? Student: Not yet, no. Still working on it. Anthony Godfrey: That's toward the end of the semester. What drew you to diesel mechanics initially? Student: Just the passion for working on things and then of course the workplace experience. Anthony Godfrey: Okay, great. Tell me about your experience here. Student: My experience has been great. I initially wanted to go into the program. I liked the CTE stuff and the hands-on stuff. I like learning with my hands and doing things more. I began employment just like changing oil. So I had a little bit of experience working on cars. Then this opportunity presented itself, and I decided to take it. Then I had the internship, and this has been really great for getting real-world experience compared to just like in the classroom where it's not quite the same, but working on these school buses has been really great. Anthony Godfrey: Does this make you more interested in a career in diesel mechanics? Or is this just something you do with your hands that's going to help you along another path? Student: It's made me more interested. It's definitely taught me a lot of things. Some good things, some bad things about the industry. What direction in the industry I want to go. It's been really great to learn the ins and outs of what it's like working. Anthony Godfrey: Has it opened up some other directions that you might choose by being here? Student: Somewhat. Personally, I'd like to go into diesel, but then maybe go into a little bit more management, business-related stuff. That's just me personally, but I really enjoy working on these trucks and machines and stuff. Anthony Godfrey: Having the hands-on experience can really set you on that path and give you some experience that allows you to be effective as a manager. Student: Oh yeah, for sure. I've seen my employment translate over to my good classroom and this internship. Anthony Godfrey: Right. I'm glad that you've seen a relationship between the two. How about you? What are you thinking career-wise? Student: Well, at first I want to work on heavy duty machinery, and then later on I want to start my own performance shop. Anthony Godfrey: Oh, nice. That's great. Tell me about something that you've learned in your experience here. Either mechanical, technical, or just about being at the workplace generally. Student: When school buses come into you, sometimes it's diagnosing issues. It isn't as easy as it always seems. Sometimes it's a way longer process than you initially think it will be. It's just the range of different things that you see here. It's not just five different failures that happen all the time. You get so many different things on these buses that you have to go through. Anthony Godfrey: But the problem-solving aspect of it must be pretty satisfying when you do figure out what's wrong. Student: Oh, absolutely. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah, that's awesome. How about for you? Student: All the tools. There are so many tools. There's a tool for every job. Having the right tool will make everything easier. For the tires, getting those tires off by themselves would be crazy hard. But they've got that tool for it so it makes it way easier. Anthony Godfrey: So the right tool for the right job and you're way ahead. Student: Yeah, for sure. Anthony Godfrey: There's a life lesson in that. And for you? Student: For me, it's just doing the job right and making sure you have a high-quality of work. One of these guys out here really takes pride in doing it correct the first time. All the guys take pride in doing it correct the first time. They don't want to have buses coming back with problems that they quote “fixed.” They cut corners. So it's been really great to learn how to do the job right and learn to always do the job right so that you don't have problems. Anthony Godfrey: Pride in your work. Again, something that will translate to whatever you end up doing. Student: Oh yeah, definitely. Anthony Godfrey: Tell me about Richard and the group. What's it like working with the crew? Student: It's super chill. I show up and we kind of sit down for a second. Richard gets us all situated and then he's like, "All right. I'll put you with this guy today. I'll put you with that guy today." No. And then we just kind of follow the guys around and they're like, "All right. Here's what we're doing. Here, pass me this. Take this bolt off. Take this thing off." And then some guys teach more than others, but it's always a good learning experience. Student: Oh, it's great. Everybody's positive for the most part and it's always a good time to joke around with people in the real world experience and actually get to work on things and practice taking stuff apart and put it back together in the correct way. Anthony Godfrey: Excellent. Student: I love the environment here with the people. I love the relationships that we have with everyone here. It feels like you actually work here. It's not scary to go up to them. We've been getting to know all the people here. It's not intimidating or anything like that. You just get to talk to them like they're your buddies. Anthony Godfrey: Fantastic. I love that. So, well, we're very lucky to have you here and thanks for taking time to talk with me today. I know you've got work to do. [Music] Anthony Godfrey: Thanks for joining us on another episode of the Supercast. Remember, “Education is the most important thing you'll do today!” We'll see you out there. [Music]

Fruitful domestic and international medical missions overlap in multiple ways. Both require cross-cultural skills, a willingness to work with limited resources, courage in the face of potentially dangerous situations, and possible disapproval from friends and family. Each is excellent preparation for the other. Many international workers spend furlough time working in American Christian health centers--and vice-versa.

Send us Fan MailIs engineering really a meritocracy?We're taught that hard work, strong performance, and clear metrics determine who advances. But what if the system isn't as objective as it seems?In this episode of ENGINEERING CH∆NGE®, I break down how “merit” is often interpreted, or even manufactured, not measured and how the systems we trust to evaluate performance can actully distort it.In this episode: Why performance without context is incomplete and often misinterpreted.How shifting standards and uneven scrutiny reshape who advances.What happens when metrics become targets and start driving behavior instead of reflecting impact.Through real-world examples - from internship decisions to NSF review panels - this episode reveals how evaluation systems can manufacture merit instead of measure it.If you've ever questioned how decisions really get made in academia, engineering, or leadership, this conversation will change how you see performance, potential, and fairness.Ask yourself: Are we rewarding true impact, or just what's easiest to measure?Grab a latte and listen.If this conversation resonates with you, follow ENGINEERING CH∆NGE® and leave a five-star review to help more engineers and leaders join the conversation.Visit the ENGINEERING CH∆NGE® podcast website to learn more and to request a free copy of my new brief, Engineering for Society.Support the showENGINEERING CHΔNGE® is a registered trademark held by Dr. Yvette E.

In this episode of the Casual Cattle Conversations Podcast, Shaye interviews Andrew Bredeweg about his multi-generational family farm in southwestern Indiana and why supporting family agriculture businesses helps rural communities thrive. Andrew explains how their operation evolved from a sustenance farm and dairy into a cattle-focused business that also farms under 500 acres, and how his kids are gaining ownership and business experience through feeding cattle and selling beef locally.   He discusses their approach to adopting practical technology—highlighting rotational grazing, TMR feeding, and the Performance Beef app to improve feeding accuracy, billing, and decision-making for custom-fed cattle.

Students who graduate college debt-free don't rely on just one source of scholarships or financial aid. They layer their scholarship sources, one on top of the other.  Shellee helped her son receive multiple full scholarships. I helped my son earn 23 outside scholarships, allowing us to pay only $1500 for his college degree - tuition, room, board, books, and fees included.  Today, Shellee and her team help middle and high school students (and their parents) by preparing them for the college admissions process. They work together to create a Stand Out Strategy while striving for the best Academic, Social, Athletic, and Financial fit. I work with students and families in high school and college, helping them identify, apply for, and secure both institutional and outside scholarships.
