In S5Ep5 of the PRP, Adam prattles with blossoming long distance runners, local food & agriculture champions, community cultivators and proud park-hopping pals Meg Goldwyn & Laura Matney, who have been preparing for the Glass City Half Marathon on Sunday April 27th, 2025. Tap in to learn how two remarkable human beings are leveraging their passion for fresh produce & funky vibes to build a healthier, more connected Ann Arbor. Meg—Argus Café Store Manager and certified dog mom of the decade is newer to the sport but fully aboard the endorphin express. Laura, General Manager at Argus Farm Stop and lifelong endurance adventurer with a flair for fungi, brings years of grit and community organizing insight to the convo. The squad unpacks how Argus Farm Stop's unique model supports local farmers, feeds neighbors, and keeps the lights on (literally) in a way that blends business, service, and sustainability into one delicious, community-enhancing mission. But it's not just about the veggies—it's about the vision. At the heart of it all is a guiding question: “How does what we do every day serve the local food economy?”Things get vulnerable when the duo deep dives on the power of shared knowledge—how pulling back the curtain on their systems, lessons, and even missteps can spark change across the local & national food landscape. Whether it's telling tales at a farm stop conference, spreading the gospel of pawpaws, or dropping hot tips on turning smoothies into waffles (yes, that's a thing), Meg & Laura live to connect dots and people alike. From park bagging all 162 green spaces in Ann Arbor to gap-trail biking and glacial terrain escapades, this lovely duo reminds us that movement and nourishment go hand in hand—and that the spiritual symbiosis of running, food, and community might just be the perfect fuel to keep us joyful, curious, and snack-happy as we traverse through this wild ride called life.What's in tarnation is an L3C? Laminated life mantras? Sommelier say whaaa?? WTF is a wild ramp?! Volun-told you so? Old socks, banana relatives & Shaq gummies oh my!This and more in this nourishing, laughter-filled, and deeply mission-driven episode of the PRP.Sponsors⁠⁠⁠⁠Up & Running Performance⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ann Arbor Running Company⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Recorded Friday April 25th @ 9:00AM EST

Send us a textOn today's show is Paul Dionne, chief strategy officer at Quantum Governance, L3C.  What's an L3C?  Good question: It's a low profit limited liability company and, in the case of Quantum Governance, that means it “help[s]  nonprofits, credit unions, associations and foundations realize the full potential of their missions.”The company's work with credit unions revolves around governance - especially issues involving the board and organizational leadership - and strategic planning.That's why a key focus of this discussion is a credit union board's fiduciary responsibility especially in the case of a merger.  When a merger is on the table, a board member's responsibility is to make decisions that are in the best interest of the membership, said Dionne.What's that mean?  How can a board member go off course?  In the show Dionne, who worked at Filene before joining Quantum Governance, tells the good, the bad and the ugly.Listen up.Like what you are hearing?

I had a staff member that was never showing up for work. Their Grandma died, like a hundred times. Also the till would be off by about 50 bucks whenever she would be working. I was drinking half cups of coffee all day long and felt like this place was killing me. I felt like I needed to slow down. I went to the hospital and they said I had anxiety and high blood pressure. They said I needed to stop drinking coffee and slow down. I said I can't do that. That was an indicator to me that my body was saying, something's up. I got rid of that staff person and then my blood pressure went back to normal. It was being self-aware that helped me. I realized that I need to go exercise more and be out in nature more. That was a big turning point for me. Thoughts On Breathing My wife is always telling me to take a deep breath and to do the inhale-exhale thing. I do take walks every morning and try to get my 10,000 steps everyday. In a business sometimes I feel like we can go too fast and we just need to stop and breathe it in.   Suggested Resources Book: Becoming Your Own Banker by R.
