Born and raised at White Oak Pastures, Will left home to attend the University of Georgia's School of Agriculture, where he was trained in the industrial farming methods that had taken hold after World War II. Will graduated in 1976 and returned to Bluffton where he and his father continued to raise cattle using pesticides, herbicides, hormones, and antibiotics. They also fed their herd a high-carbohydrate diet of corn and soy.These tools did a fantastic job of taking the cost out of the system, but in the mid-1990s Will became disenchanted with the excesses of these industrialized methods. They had created a monoculture for their cattle, and, as Will says, "nature abhors a monoculture." In 1995, Will made the audacious decision to return to the farming methods his great-grandfather had used 130 years before.Since Will has successfully implemented these changes, he has been recognized all over the world as a leader in humane animal husbandry and environmental sustainability. Will is the immediate past President of the Board of Directors of Georgia Organics. He is the Beef Director of the American Grassfed Association and was selected 2011 Business Person of the year for Georgia by the Small Business Administration.Be sure to check out our previous episodes and click on the link to join our Webinar series:  https://www.agsteward.fyi/registration-page--1 or visit our YouTube channel.

Jared is a life-long learner and has been applying and teaching principles of holistic management, soil regeneration, and biodynamics. Jared has mentored many young people seeking to get a start in agriculture. The Sorensens raise and market grass fed beef, teach onsite and virtual classes, and offer internships on the ranch. In this episode… partnering with his father and grandfather at age 16 making the shift to holistic, regenerative practices grazing management: mob grazing, the principle of thirds bringing the microscope to the farm: measuring the effectiveness of new practices by tracking the presence of a balanced microbial population healing the water cycle biologically—beavers as permaculture designers!; keyline systems the importance of knowing your why, knowing yourself…don't set yourself up for failure by adopting a system that's not yours, without taking the time to get to know yourself and what YOU were created to do here on this earth, your unique why…and then having the courage to embody that truth introducing a biodynamic approach to the ranch, being the human connection between heaven and earth to be better stewards of the earth, we need to increase our awareness, get past our “know it all” egoic tendency, moving past judgement and getting curious, knowing there's something we can learn from everyone and every situation. A big dose of humility will serve us well it IS possible to break into agriculture without inheriting a farm Nature is more resilient than we give it credit for. There's so much grace and forgiveness in trying to do the right thing, in getting past our arrogance and our ego. Progress can be made!

Jared Sorensen and his wife Selena are some of my oldest clients that I'm still working with. They're third-generation ranchers in Northeastern Nevada and they mentor people seeking to get a start in agriculture. Jared has achieved a great level of freedom for himself and his family through their ranch and he is looking to help more people do the same!  Key Talking Points of the Episode [01:37] Invest with Secured Investment Corp! [02:19] Who is Jared Sorensen? [04:05] What is Jared's background? [09:00] How did Jared deal with the mindset transition he needed? [10:34] How did Jared see the opportunity in his land properties? [12:11] What challenges did Jared face with being a rancher? [14:45] How did Jared realize the power of leverage? [15:53] What does passive income give Jared's family? [18:10] Why is it important to have personal accountability? [19:05] What is Jared's vision for his family and business? [20:51] Why is regenerative agriculture important? [23:00] Why should we support local agriculture more? [25:00] What is Jared's advice to people who want to start achieving freedom? Quotables “I guess when you're humble enough and you're willing to learn, you'll start to figure things out.” “It's hard for people to kinda grasp the size and scope of that but it is a really labor-intensive business.” “I don't have to know it all. I don't have to figure it out all on my own and if I do, I'm not gonna live long enough to figure it out.” “Everybody's gonna need to eat and our current agriculture system is not sustainable.” “I don't believe in saving money in the bank, but I believe in the discipline of saving money.”

Tonight we talk about THE BIG THREE. Yes, that is what she said, don't think too hard on it though. Specifically though, the concept of the three big questions that Jared Sorensen thought RPGs should be able to answer, and why they're pretty good questions. Want to see us pick apart some basic concepts until everything's on fire? Well we do that every week, but we did it really good this time and brought lots of extra stuff to burn for the dumpster fire this time so sit back with a chair and get a nice tan from it! Never know, you may even find it useful, too! Linktr.ee/flailforward

Episode 33 tager fat i det ghostbusters inspirerede indie-rollespil InSpectres, som i 2014 takket være Kickstarter opnåede en filmatisering fra et indie studio. Vi har ikke set filmen, men vi har læst og spillet rollespillet. Udgivet af Jared Sorensen på hans forlag Memento More Theatricks første gang i 2002. Jared er blandt andet kendt for sit arbejde med Parsely spillet, Torchbearer og Burning Wheel. Lyt med, når vi tager fat i rollespillet om opstartsvirksomheder i en paranormal verden.

Important note: It seems conventional on other podcasts I listen, to mention explicit language - in case your kids are around while you listen or something. There are a few F-words in this episode. I apologise I forgot to mention it in the intro to the episode. This week on the podcast we geek out about tabletop roleplaying games (and a bunch of other stuff - don't feel left out if you don't play tabletop roleplaying games) with an awesome guest: Luke Crane. Luke had won multiple Origins Awards for Best Roleplaying Games in 2006 for his first system Burning Wheel and again in 2008 for MouseGuard. He also designed several other games such as Burning Empires, FreeMarket (with Jared Sorensen) and recently Torchbearer. Luke regularly talks about game design as a variety of events and conventions. Last but certainly not least, Luke is also the Head of Games for Kickstarter, the online crowdfunding website. He gets to support thriving game designers bring their projects to life thanks to the support of fans on the popular crowdfunding platform. We had a fantastic conversation about the design voices in Luke's head, his lunar origins, authors intentions in game design, his latin studies, the Burning Wheel RPG system, his favourite games and movies, how games and tabletop games in particular are seeing a renaissance thanks to crowdfunding and more. Enjoy!

Let’s talk about how we talk about game designs. Let’s talk about how a game does its thing and how a design achieves (or doesn’t) its selected goals. What is your game about and how is it about it? Let’s do that by talking about variations on the “Big Three” questions of RPG design. The audio in this early episode is, uh, unpolished. Thankfully, writer, interviewer, and friend of the show, Brie Sheldon, stepped up to transcribe this episode, so you can read that transcript now, too! We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention Jared Sorensen in these show notes so that you can google him and read more of him. Design Games is made possible by our supporters at Patreon, where you can back NDP and Will right now. Every dollar helps.

Game Design is Mind Control: Presented by Luke Crane and Jared Sorensen from way back in 2011. The art of game design is to induce your players to behave in bizarre, irrational ways that they otherwise would not. Join us as we demonstrate how rules make you perform all sorts of ridiculous acts.
