As we move closer toward the end of the year, we are tasting and reviewing some heavy hitters. For today's episode, we took our talents to the neighboring state of Tennessee to try the acclaimed Jack Daniel's Taynard Hill Rye release. This single barrel, barrel proof rye release has gotten a bunch of attention this year - but is that attention deserved or simply a bunch of hype. We are here to give you the skinny. We are thankful for our listener David who provided us the bottle for this episode. As always, we don't just taste this whiskey, but we blind it against something else so we can really put it to the test. --------------------------SocialsIG: https://www.instagram.com/themashupkyFB: https://www.facebook.com/themashupkyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themashupkyJoin our community on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMashUpBourbonPodcastPartnership(s)Visit Bourbonoutfitter.com and enter code THEMASHUP for a special discount or visit bourbonoutfitter.com/THEMASHUPMusic: All the Fixings by Zachariah HickmanThank you so much for listening!
With Christmas right around the corner, Chad jumps on the mic solo to talk about life lately. From cooking Wagyu steaks with friends to UFC debates, Christmas movies, and the lessons that come with raising kids, he's got a lot on his mind! He shares stories from a recent Vegas trip, sitting down with Bo Jackson in hunt camp, and why this year hits a little different, watching his daughter Alyssa earn Player of the Year. Merry Christmas!

What happens when technology grows faster than the rules meant to guide it? We toast the season finale by tackling that question head-on—starting with a bold move to centralize AI regulation at the federal level and preempt state-by-state rules. We lay out what a single national framework could fix, what it could break, and how lobbying from the biggest AI players complicates the path forward. Uniform standards might speed innovation and reduce compliance chaos, but local expertise matters, and trust depends on safeguards that balance industry power with public interest.Then we shift from policy to pavement. Waymo keeps making headlines for the wrong reasons: riders passing out in driverless cars, a recall tied to passing stopped school buses with flashing lights, and a bizarre three-car standoff that jammed a steep San Francisco street for nearly an hour. We unpack what these incidents reveal about human behavior in autonomous systems, the limits of remote intervention, and the public's patience when “driverless” becomes neighborhood gridlock. Safety updates and voluntary recalls are essential, but accountability, transparency, and resilient design are how this technology earns the right to scale.Not everything is caution tape and traffic cones. We spotlight the AirFly Pro 2 from Twelve South, a small Bluetooth transmitter that lets two people share audio from any 3.5 mm jack—perfect for flights, older TVs, and road trips. It's simple, reliable, and exactly the kind of travel tech that quietly improves your day. We also marvel at a $380,000 “human washing machine”—part luxury, part lab experiment—hinting at future wellness and eldercare tech where biometrics and comfort meet. And we raise a glass to a standout Jack Daniel's single barrel heritage barrel release, trading tasting notes on char, sweetness, and that long, confident finish.Along the way we nod to Perl's enduring place in internet history, reminding ourselves that the tools that last aren't always the flashiest—they're the ones that solve real problems again and again. As we wrap season seven, the through-line is clear: when tech outruns law, human behavior fills the void. The best builders anticipate that gap, and the best policy keeps pace without strangling the spark. If that balance excites you as much as it challenges you, you're our kind of listener.Enjoyed the season? Subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review to help others find us.

Chris Fletcher is Vice President, Master Distiller and Director of Distillery Operations at the Jack Daniel Distillery. In this role, he uses an extensive knowledge of the whiskey-making process to supervise and ensure the world's top-selling whiskey is both in constant supply and true to Jack's guiding belief that “Every day we make it, we'll make it the best we can.” Chris is one of only a handful of individuals to have held the title of “Master Distiller” in the distillery's history, which began production in 1866. A native of Lynchburg, Tennessee, he is proud to accept the enormous responsibility that comes with having one of the most envied jobs in the world. Chris joined the Jack Daniel Distillery first as a tour guide, coming home to work summers during his college years. After earning a degree in chemistry, he gained a complete knowledge of production at Jack Daniel's including milling, mashing, fermenting, distillation, mellowing and maturation, all passed down first-hand by his grandfather, the late Master Distiller Frank “Frog” Bobo, and other Jack Daniel's employees with decades of experience. After his stint in Lynchburg, Chris worked for Brown-Forman Corporation in Louisville, Kentucky on Jack Daniel's quality control. Following two years of gaining valuable experience working for distilleries across North America, he returned to the Jack Daniel Distillery in 2014. This experience primed him to spearhead the quality operation at Jack Daniel's. Chris plays a key role in any potential new offerings and considerations from the distillery.As the grandson of Bobo, making Jack Daniel's TennesseeWhiskey comes naturally to Chris. He recalls visiting his grandfather at the distillery, following closely at his heels and hearing stories about those who came before them. Chris's first memory of the distillery is watching his grandfather make sour mash and operate the stills. Fletcher not only has a foothold into the heritage and authenticity of Jack, but he also brings a fresh approach to product innovation. As his grandfather often reminded him, the incredible growth Jack Daniel's has experienced since his days at the distillery is a result of the process and quality controls established by its founder.

"Curiosity isn't a soft skill. It's a performance capability—and organizations are paying the price for ignoring it." Summary What if the most powerful leadership capability isn't having the right answers—but asking better questions? In this On the Brink with Andi Simon episode, Dr. Deborah Clary, author of The Curiosity Curve, explains why curiosity is a measurable driver of performance, engagement, and innovation—and how leaders can deliberately rebuild it to create stronger, more human-centered cultures. Why Curiosity May Be the Missing Link in Leadership and Culture Change In this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Deborah Clary, author of The Curiosity Curve and a purpose-driven leader whose work sits at the intersection of leadership development, organizational culture, and performance. What emerged from our conversation was both refreshing and deeply needed: a reminder that curiosity—something many leaders unintentionally abandon as they rise—may be the very capability organizations need most right now . Deborah's journey is anything but linear. Straight out of business school, she began her career not in a corporate office but as a route driver for Frito-Lay in Detroit—wearing a uniform, managing a route, and learning leadership from the inside out. That truck, she says, became her classroom. Over the next four decades, Deborah moved through senior roles at Coca-Cola, Jack Daniel's, and Humana, eventually earning a PhD focused on leadership development and organizational design. Yet it was her growing fascination with human behavior—what makes leaders effective and cultures thrive—that ultimately shaped her work today . What Is Curiosity—Really? Deborah defines curiosity simply but powerfully: being genuinely interested in yourself, in others, and in the situation at hand. It's not about having the right answers. It's about asking better questions—and staying open long enough to explore them. That distinction matters, especially in organizations where leaders often believe their role is to know, decide, and direct. As Deborah shared, many leaders become "incurious" not because they lack interest, but because time pressures, performance demands, and past success reinforce the idea that they must always have the answer. Over time, curiosity is treated like a luxury—when in fact, research shows it is a driver of performance . The Engagement Crisis—and Why Leaders Matter More Than Ever One of the most striking parts of our conversation focused on employee disengagement. Gallup data shows engagement levels at historic lows, with millennials—now a critical segment of the leadership pipeline—showing especially high levels of disengagement. When Deborah and her research team conducted focus groups, they found a consistent theme: "My leader doesn't know me—and doesn't seem to care to know me." This wasn't about surface-level recognition or personal details. Employees wanted leaders to be curious about their ideas, their aspirations, and how they could contribute meaningfully. In other words, they wanted leaders who asked thoughtful questions instead of simply providing directives. Curiosity, Measured—and Made Actionable What makes Deborah's work especially compelling is that curiosity isn't treated as a vague personality trait. Through a validated assessment, she measures curiosity across four dimensions: Exploration Openness to new ideas Inspirational creativity Focused engagement In one executive team she worked with, the results revealed a powerful—and uncomfortable—truth. While most executives scored high in curiosity, the CEO did not. The organization was struggling with innovation, market share, and retention. When the data was shared openly, the CEO recognized that his resistance—not the team—was the bottleneck. His willingness to acknowledge this became a breakthrough moment for the organization . That story underscores a central theme of the episode: leaders shape culture not by intention alone, but by how open—or closed—they are to curiosity. Watch our podcast on YouTube. From Short-Term Answers to Long-Term Leadership Curious leadership, Deborah explained, is about playing the long game. The short game is giving answers. The long game is exploring possibilities, testing ideas, and learning from outcomes—even when they fail. This requires psychological safety. Leaders must normalize statements like, "I don't know—let's explore this together."When leaders model curiosity, they give others permission to think, experiment, and grow. Over time, this builds confidence, ownership, and engagement across the organization . Why This Matters Now? In fast-changing markets, yesterday's solutions rarely solve tomorrow's problems. Yet many organizations still rely on outdated assumptions, rigid hierarchies, and fear of failure. As an anthropologist, I see this pattern often: cultures resist change even when change is essential. Curiosity interrupts that pattern. It helps leaders see what they've been missing, hear voices that have been quiet, and test new ways forward. In Deborah's words, curiosity is contagious—and learnable. It can be rebuilt, one question at a time. If you're a leader navigating uncertainty, disengaged teams, or stalled innovation, this conversation offers both insight and hope. You don't need all the answers. But you do need the courage to ask better questions. And that may be exactly what helps you—and your organization—get off the brink.

My guest for Episode #330 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Debra Clary, a leadership strategist, researcher, and executive coach with more than four decades of experience at organizations including Frito-Lay, Coca-Cola, Jack Daniel's, and Humana. Episode page with video, transcript, and more She's also a TEDx speaker, former off-Broadway performer, and the author of the new book The Curiosity Curve: A Leader's Guide to Growth and Transformation Through Bold Questions. In this episode, Debra shares one of her favorite mistakes—an unexpected wrong train stop in Italy that turned into a memorable discovery—and how that happy accident helped shape her approach to curiosity, flexibility, and exploring the unexpected. That theme carries through the conversation as Debra and I discuss how curiosity shows up in leadership, why assumptions can derail teams, and why “having the answers” is often the wrong place to start. Debra walks us through the research behind The Curiosity Curve, including how her team developed a validated diagnostic for measuring curiosity and what they learned about its connection to engagement, retention, innovation, and decision speed. She shares practical examples of how leaders unintentionally shut down curiosity and how small shifts in inquiry can unlock better thinking and stronger team performance. We also explore how curiosity interacts with psychological safety, how leaders can avoid the trap of reflexive certainty, and why curiosity becomes even more important in high-pressure or high-uncertainty situations. Debra closes by discussing the role curiosity plays in an AI-driven world—why it remains uniquely human, and how tools like AI can actually help people deepen their inquiry rather than replace it. If you're interested in how leaders can cultivate better questions, better conversations, and better outcomes, this episode will spark ideas you can put to use right away. Questions and Topics: What's your favorite mistake? Were there similar moments in your career where a “missed stop” led to an unexpected opportunity? Was starting as a Frito-Lay route driver a deliberate development path, or was that unusual? Where did your passion for curiosity begin? Is there a way to gauge curiosity in a team or organization? How do you measure something like curiosity in a meaningful way? How do you help leaders learn to be more curious instead of just telling people to “be curious”? When hiring, is it better to select already-curious people or rely on the culture to develop curiosity? Is there such a thing as too much curiosity—can it slow execution or decision-making? From your research or coaching, what's an example of curiosity being missing and causing problems? How do you help leaders understand that curiosity and psychological safety are building blocks for innovation—not optional extras? Do you see leaders struggle with the difference between knowing, assuming, and figuring things out? In urgent or high-pressure situations, does stress make it harder for people to stay curious? Do you have examples where curiosity helped prevent a small mistake from turning into a big one? Have you seen situations where people used questions in unhelpful or critical ways while claiming they were being “curious”? How do you think about Ed Schein's idea of humble inquiry? Can AI replace curiosity—or does curiosity still give humans a unique advantage? Can interacting with AI actually help people strengthen their curiosity?
We're going to get practical and talk about the key difference between running hard and running easy and when we should be doing both. You've heard about the 80/20 rule, you know about Lydiard and Jack Daniels and double threshold… but do you know what all of that means for YOU and this week's training? That's where we are taking you in today's discussion.Learn more about our coaching services at atozrunning.com

“I think you have to have a big ego in business and in sports but I use mine to want to protect myself from failure. Ego makes me not want to fail, it's a motivator, my ego doesn't want me to be laughed at or labeled a failure.” Zak Brown CEO of McLaren Racing The 2025 F1 season is winding down with three races left to go and McLaren has already won its 2nd Consecutive Constructors' Championship with the chance for their drivers to finish 1st and 2nd.

With only a few races left, McLaren is eyeing a 1st, 2nd finish for the 2025 season, hoping to prove doubters wrong with a drama-free relationship between his two drivers that sit atop the sport- a no favoritism, no fighting approach. From the dynamics inside the garage to the strategic vision for the future, Zak gives rare insight into what it takes to manage two hungry, elite-level drivers chasing the same trophy. Zak dives into the inspiration behind his new book, sharing the lessons, setbacks, and bold decisions that shaped his journey from young racing enthusiast to the executive steering one of motorsport's most iconic teams. He reveals the mindset shifts that fueled McLaren's resurgence and why embracing risk is often the only real path forward. From bold driver signings to the future of electric racing and what winning means in today's F1 landscape, this episode offers a rare look at the mindset of a global sports executive who isn't afraid to bet big.

What if the biggest opportunity in your industry is something no one else recognizes? In this episode, Eric Tecosky, the founder of pioneering cocktail ingredient brand Dirty Sue, unpacks how a simple gap behind the bar became a first-to-market product, a profitable niche, and a lesson in disciplined focus.

Show notes: 0:25: Eric "ET" Tecosky, Founder & CEO, Dirty Sue – ET talks about the origin of his Instagram handle before he reveals how the idea for Dirty Sue emerged from a bartending pain point: running out of olive brine during a rush. He explains his vision for a brand of premium olive brine but was stymied early on because bars still operated in a pre-premium cocktail era. He shares his path to grassroots sampling and convincing bartenders and managers of the operational efficiencies of a bottled product. ET discusses Dirty Sue's gradual expansion across the West Coast and how he tapped into a growing home-cocktail market. He emphasizes a disciplined focus strategy and notes that he has taken only one round of investment at the company's founding. Brands in this episode: Dirty Sue, Jack Daniel's

John talks about the birth of the Music Mafia, the rise of Big & Rich and Gretchen Wilson, and how Nashville's sound and politics have shifted over the years.

What happens when a neurodivergent flight attendant trades jet lag for guitar riffs and finds better mental health in the process? In this inspiring and wildly relatable episode, Canadian alt-rock singer-songwriter Harley Olivia joins Gabe Howard to share how embracing her creativity helped her manage ADHD, anxiety, and depression, and why ignoring your passions could make your mental health worse. From performing onstage to coping with social anxiety, Harley opens up about how she feels singing “rewired” her nervous system, why creative expression can be therapeutic, and how she finally gave herself permission to pursue music full-time, even when the world told her she was “making a mistake” (a song lyric and a true story!). Listener takeaways: why ignoring your creativity can worsen ADHD and depression the truth behind the “tortured artist” myth practical ways to channel anxiety into creative energy Whether you're an aspiring artist, a mental health advocate, or simply trying to reconnect with what fuels you, this conversation will leave you inspired to follow your calling — no matter how unconventional it seems. “When I wrote that song, that was right before I finally made the leap to quit the airline and really focus on my music. Things sort of came to a head at that point of the most depressed, the most anxious, the most chaotic. I feel so bad for my family because I'm like, should I quit? I don't know, should I quit? They're like, just quit! You want to! Make the decision! But the hardest thing about quitting was, like you were saying, leaving that stability. It's not like I was jumping into an already established music career.” ~Harley Olivia Our guest, Harley Olivia, is a neurodivergent, Toronto-based alt-rock artist crafting an energetic blend of rock and pop music. With infectious melodies, powerhouse vocals, and relatable lyrics about mental health and self-empowerment, Harley Olivia has carved out a bold and charismatic presence in the music scene. Formerly a globe-trotting flight attendant with over 50 countries visited and 8,000 hours in the air, Harley Olivia decided to swap the skies for the stage. Since then, she has released her debut EP “Hiding Little Pieces”, showcased at festivals like Canadian Music Week, NXNE, VENUEXVENUE and was crowned the winner of both the Jack Daniel's Supporting Act Competition and Gussapolooza's Rising Sun Award in 2024. Harley has also received multiple Ontario Arts Council grants for her next EP, as she continues to collaborate and perform with JUNO Award-Winning Producer Siegfried Meier. Riding a wave of momentum, Harley Olivia commands the stage with her exhilarating performances, earning her opportunities to open for artists like SUMO CYCO, Softcult, Skye Wallace and Terra Lightfoot. For fans of Paramore, LØLØ and Garbage, Harley Olivia delivers a strong shot of dopamine that will get even the shyest of wallflowers moving their feet!

Before digging into the pour, they chat about old wedding planning memories, hard ciders, and why 13 might just be the luckiest aging number in bourbon. On Whiskey World News, Bryan reads an article about Jack Daniel's bringing back the 3.75-liter bottle — the first time it's been offered since Prohibition. And on What Whiskey Would You Choose?, the boys ask: What's your favorite always-available, always-under-$30 whiskey — and would you buy a 3.75L bottle of it if you could?

Chad sits down with Kevin Thomas, this month's DemerBox Artist of the Month, to talk about country music and the way it's meant to be! They dig into what being an “outlaw” really means today: betting on yourself, staying authentic, and writing songs that come from the gut. Kevin shares his story, the sacrifices, the lessons, and the fire that keeps him chasing his sound on his own terms. It's a talk about music, mindset, and the grind that separates the dreamers from the doers. If you still believe real country lives in the hands of independent artists, you'll feel this one.

This week, Clifton dives into one of the most talked-about limited releases of the year — the 2025 Russell's Reserve 13 Year Bourbon. Is the $200 price tag justified, or is nostalgia doing the heavy lifting? Plus, there's a full flight of whiskey news, including: Jack Daniel's massive new 3-liter bottle Glencairn Glass celebrating 25 years Big new Scotch and single malt releases from Arran, Cutty Sark, and East London Liquor Company Lost Lantern's bold new American Single Malt collection And in this week's Byte-Sized Review, Clifton gives his honest first-crack take on Russell's 13 — from the oak-heavy nose to the vanilla-bean palate and long, spicy finish.
Host Todd Ritter flies solo in this special episode, taking listeners on a journey through the latest bourbon news and a deep dive into whiskey history. With Jim out of town, Todd kicks off the first half by tackling a massive slate of industry updates before sampling a unique experimental whiskey. He covers the Lost Lantern "Scotch Lover's" Fall 2025 collection, the nationwide expansion of Wyoming Whiskey's "Buffalo Bill Cody," Jim Beam's new Harden's Creek trio (Mushroom, Beaver, and Owl), and Jack Daniel's Distillery Series #15, a "Sweet Mash" Tennessee Whiskey. Todd also details new releases from Chicken Cock and Town Branch, Buffalo Trace's 9 millionth barrel milestone, and the bombshell news that Kirin is exploring the sale of the Four Roses distillery. The segment features a deep dive into the 2025 Buffalo Trace Antique Collection (BTAC), highlighting the new 15-year-old Colonel E.H. Taylor Bottled in Bond and a formidable 142.8-proof George T. Stagg. The first tasting of the day is the Remus Master Distiller Experimental Series Number One from MGP. This 9-year-old, 107-proof bourbon was aged in lightly charred and heavily toasted Seguin Moreau barrels made from staves seasoned outdoors for 24 months. Todd finds a big vanilla nose with a "wine funkiness," fig, and dark baking spices. The palate proves "soft and velvety" with notes of toasted marshmallow, chocolate, a hint of red wine, and a sweet, spicy finish of candied pecan and allspice. For the second half, Todd unearths a true gem for history nerds: a complete reading of a 1909 essay by none other than Colonel E.H. Taylor Jr., titled "The Rule of the Regions." Discovered in the University of Kentucky archives, the essay provides a fascinating look into the mind of the bourbon pioneer. Taylor boldly declares Kentucky bourbon superior to Scotch and Irish whiskeys, attributing this to the "Rule of the Regions"—specifically, the paramount importance of Kentucky's unique limestone water. He discusses the industry's massive (for 1909) $180 million value, the evolution from primitive wooden stills to scientific copper distillation, and the superiority of Kentucky's dry, ascending-proof aging methods. Most notably, he champions the Bottled-in-Bond Act as the ultimate guarantee of quality and authenticity, a protection he notes that Scotland and Ireland unfortunately lack. To accompany this historic reading, Todd tastes the Oaklore Story Series Number 2, an Oloroso Sherry Cask Finish 4 Grain Bourbon. Hailing from Matthews, North Carolina, this 95-proof blend of 5-to-6-year-old bourbons (70% corn, 10% rye, 10% wheat, 10% malted barley) is finished for 12-18 months in sherry casks. The whiskey shows a ruby tinge and offers a nose of raisin, wine, caramel, and vanilla. The soft palate features notes of black cherry, cocoa, sherry-driven nuttiness, and sweet dark fruits. Be sure to check out our private Facebook group, "The Bourbon Roadies" for a great group of bourbon loving people. You will be welcomed with open arms!
Rob and Mark crack open Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Heritage Barrel Toasted Barrel and dive into what makes a barrel toasted vs. charred, from Roman casks and medieval coopers to the alligator char and modern finishing moves. Michter's, Elijah Craig, Woodford, Westland, and St. Augustine all make cameos while the guys geek out on hemicellulose, lignin, and the sweet “mouth-hug” results: creamy vanilla, caramel, banana bread vibes, a little crème brûlée. Laughs, lore, and a pour that might become your new favorite. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
On this episode of Chill Filtered, Cole and Bryan crack open a hot new release from Woodford Reserve — the latest Distiller's Select: Cask Strength Rye. Before diving into the pour, the boys get into Halloween plans, chat about their Driftless Glen “Songle Barrel”, and even take a little trip to Petersburg, Virginia. On Whiskey World News, Bryan shares a story about Sazerac Barrel Select offering drink-from-the-barrel tours — yes, straight from the barrel. And on What Whiskey Would You Choose?, the question is simple but spicy: Jack Daniel's, Old Forester, or Woodford Reserve — which team are you on? Another fun ride with good friends, a fresh release, and lots of whiskey talk. Cheers!

Send us a textCory Marks has been carving his own path through the music industry as he drinks Jack Daniel's on Whiskey River and apologizes for absolutely nothing (seriously: he's made two whole albums about it). But, I got the chance to sit down with him and see what's behind the guitar and the lyrics while keeping the industry at the forefront, and people might not be ready for what he has to say. Plus, New Belgium's "Oakspire" has been in my crosshairs recently and I gotta know...is there anything better? Maybe we need to explore this question further!

In this episode of Bourbon Lens, Jake and Scott explore how certain new whiskey releases capture a true sense of place — from the rickhouses of Kentucky to the hills of Tennessee. They start with the latest installment of the Russell's Reserve Single Rickhouse Collection from Wild Turkey Distillery, featuring barrels aged in the legendary Camp Nelson E rickhouse. Each release in this series reflects the unique environmental conditions that make individual rickhouses so special to the final flavor profile. The discussion also touches on the newest Hardin's Creek releases from James B. Beam Distilling Co., continuing the brand's innovative storytelling around age, terroir, and experimentation. Jake and Scott then take a deeper dive into the Jack Daniel's Single Barrel Special Release: Tanyard Hill Rye Whiskey, a bold new offering that clocks in at a remarkable 145.9 proof. They share their tasting notes and impressions on this powerhouse whiskey — and discuss what makes high-proof expressions both exciting and challenging for whiskey drinkers. The conversation turns reflective as they consider how a glass of whiskey can transport you to another place — whether it's tasting a barrel sample inside a rickhouse or enjoying a pour that vividly expresses its environment.

Chad and Alex are back and breakin' it all down! From the lost art of kids actually working for their fundraisers to how our personal info is floating around online. Chad learned what “drip” means (thanks to his daughter), and let's just say… the fashion feedback wasn't great. They get into cyclists, city chaos, and planning spring training trips, and somehow still find time to talk fights, bikes, and what's coming up this hunting season. It's the perfect blend of everything that makes Breakin' It Down what it is: raw, hilarious, and always a little unpredictable.

Discover Why Pulp-Fed Beef Has More Vitamins, Jack Daniels Ends 'Whiskey Beef' & The Unexpected NFL-Ag Partnership Ep 233 | This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara dig into the unexpected world of agricultural byproducts, whiskey waste, and the surprising ways innovation is reshaping how we think about feeding cattle and sustainability. First up: Pulp-fed beef is going viral. Texas rancher Nate from Pontius Ranches shared test results showing his cattle fed upcycled citrus pulp have 6x more vitamin B, 2x more vitamin E, and even traceable vitamin C. Then, Jack Daniels is ending its cow feeder program that served 100+ local livestock operations, redirecting spent grains to an anaerobic digester instead — and the Moore County farming community is feeling the impact. Finally, tractor prodigy Justyn Jackson teams up with an NFL quarterback to fuel farmers and advocate for agriculture on a national stage. Plus: Point Reyes ranchers update and a deep dive into dates (the fruit, not the romantic kind). BUT WAIT — there's more! Stick around for discussions on nutrient testing, the economics of feeding byproducts, and why quality matters more than the grass vs. grain debate. What We Discovered This Week
