After a one-month hiatus, Aaron and Willi sit down to discuss Aaron's recent impressions from his time in the States. He observes a notable shift among Bible colleges and churches in the Midwest toward prioritizing investment in national missionaries. While missions agencies and boards have played an essential role, and local churches in Germany have benefited immensely from decades of faithful ministry by missionaries and their organizations, the landscape is evolving. As the fellowship of churches in Germany grows, the emphasis on empowering local churches and national pastors seems to be the natural direction for the future.

In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview Jon Kinney, the Founder and CTO at Headway. Jon delves into his entrepreneurial roots, tracing his upbringing in Southwest Wisconsin. Growing up in a household where his mother was a graphic designer and his father was a musician, Jon was surrounded by creativity and technology. His first foray into business was selling items on eBay, where he learned HTML to enhance his listings, an experience that sparked his interest in programming. His exposure to his mother's company, Out of the Box Publishing, further nurtured this entrepreneurial spirit, which created the popular game Apples to Apples. These early experiences in a fast-paced, hands-on business environment greatly shaped how he approached entrepreneurship.Jon elaborates on the early days of Headway, describing how he and his co-founders started the company from a small shared office above a wine bar. Their first big client was Handshake, a job marketplace for college students, which gave them the funding and confidence to launch Headway full-time. As Headway grew, the team focused on serving startups and leveraging local networks through initiatives like Digital Fertilizer, which connected entrepreneurs in Northeast Wisconsin. This localized approach eventually expanded as Headway gained national recognition, working on significant projects such as an innovation initiative for Procter & Gamble. Jon highlights the importance of building strong relationships and adapting to remote work, which has been key to Headway's success in expanding beyond its local market.Dive into the world of cutting-edge business tactics with Jon Kinney, and be inspired by his unique path to success in this episode of The First Customer!Guest Info:Headwayhttps://www.headway.ioJon Kinney's LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jonkinney/Connect with Jay on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jayaigner/The First Customer Youtube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@thefirstcustomerpodcastThe First Customer podcast websitehttps://www.firstcustomerpodcast.comFollow The First Customer on LinkedInhttp://www.linkedin.com/company/the-first-customer-podcast/

«Ich liebe die Herausforderung. Darum hat es mich sofort angesprochen, als man mich angefragt hat, ob ich in Andermatt ein Ganzjahresprogramm auf die Beine stellen will.» Lena-Lisa Wüstendörfer ist eine international gefragte Dirigentin und seit Juni 2022 die Intendantin der Andermatt Konzerthalle. Das Erlebnis in der Andermatt Konzerthalle ist einmalig. Es ist nicht nur die erste Konzerthalle in einer Alpendestination und die höchste in der Schweiz, die Nähe zu den Musikschaffenden während des Konzerts ist ein Erlebnis, das man sonst nur bei Hauskonzerten haben kann. Am Wochenende vom 23. und 24. September startet Andermatt Music in die nächste Saison. Lena-Lisa Wüstendörfer bleibt ihrem Konzept treu: «Die drei Schwerpunkte sind zum einen World Stage, da kommen Weltstars nach Andermatt, zum anderen die vergessen Schweizer Komponisten mit dem Swiss Orchestra und als drittes die Local Roots mit vielfältiger Volksmusik.» Zum ersten Mal kann man auch einen Blick hinter die Kulisse werfen. Am Sonntag, 24. September um 11 Uhr laden Lena-Lisa Wüstendörfer und der CEO der Andermatt Swiss Alps Raphael Krucker zum Tag der offenen Tür. Untermalt wird die Veranstaltung durch die Salonmusik des Trios Sorriso. Dann gibt es noch einen kleinen Bonus: Lena-Lisa Wüstendörfer war bei Klassik Radio zu Besuch. Das Interview hört ihr am Schluss dieser Folge.

(Note, this one was taped when it was still cold, and now it's hot!) As author Allison C. Meier states, “There are no seasons, only microseasons now.” What are microseasons? They're a different way of viewing time as local, marked not by arbitrary flips of the calendar or the coming and going of major weather patterns, but by more ephemeral and sometimes obscure environmental shifts that only last a few weeks.With Erin Chapman, Allison writes a newsletter called NYC Microseasons that investigates these ephemeral seasons with a mix of wit, humor, and scientific rigor. Wythe and Melissa talk to Erin and Allison about their project overall, many specific plants that live in NYC, shadows/smoke/smog and their effects on plants, cooking possum meat, the seasonality of CSAs, and—of course—algae. We explore all sorts of changing weather patterns and discuss what they mean not only for growing food and foraging in cities, but how we culturally understand and value different parts of the year. We also talk briefly about Allison's new book, Grave, which fans of urban planning and green design (among others) will definitely enjoy.

According to We Are Tech Women, role models can be a vital influence on anyone's career, providing guidance, support, advice, and much more.

Our guest this week on the AVIATE with Shaesta podcast is Angelina Tsboui.  Angelina has been solving problems through her passion for computer coding and building apps since she was seven years old. By the 11th grade, Tsboui had created a few resourceful apps, like an app for the Apple Watch that guides users through CPR and Lilac, where non-English speaking parents can access childcare and housing resources, and finally, the app called Pilot Fast Track.

Paquime, or Casas Grandes – a few hours drive from El Paso in Chihuahua, Mexico – is a stunning archeological site, the largest urban center known from the prehistoric North American deserts. Thousands lived here, with multi-story adobe apartments, ball courts and monumental earthen sculptures, a system of reservoirs and canals for drinking water and wastewater. Goods speak of extensive trade connections, and the city exported its own beautiful ceramics. Surrounding peaks are topped with watchtowers and signaling sites, which likely enabled rapid communication across vast desert expanses.

Can a credit union with nearly 500,000 members and $9 billion in assets still authentically serve its local community? As consolidation trends continue and asset size is increasingly seen as a key indicator of success, it's important to reflect on how these evolving trends impact the cooperative principles and the credit union difference. Liz Martin, Vice President of Marketing at OnPoint Community Credit Union (a PixelSpoke client), believes that when growth is rooted in a clear WHY, it can exist in tandem with a strong community focus. She joins us to talk about how OnPoint has grown while still honoring its history as a cooperative founded for teachers, why “branch deserts” motivated them to dramatically expand their branch footprint in 2021, and how to create a personalized and hyper-local experience across digital and in-person channels. This month's BIG Question: How can credit unions grow in a sustainable and intentional way while still staying true to their local roots?

Wen-Jay Ying is a woman on a mission. The founder of Local Roots — a new kind of C.S.A. and, since last year, a physical cafe and market space — Ying has for the past 11 years been single-mindedly driven to bring hyperlocal nutritious food and produce to communities that need it most. But she does it in a way that is educational without being preachy, fun and almost punk rock. Which is not a stretch to say: Years ago, Ying received a piece of advice that set her on the path to where she is now … from Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne.   Brooklyn news and views you can use: bkmag.com  Email: hello@bkmag.com  Follow along on Facebook: Brooklyn Magazine  Twitter: @brooklynmag  Instagram: @brooklynmagazine  Follow Brian Braiker on Twitter: @slarkpope

Economics of genocide — Dr. Ümit Kurt, a historian of the modern Middle East, provides a rare look at economic factors as both cause and consequence of genocide.

 Over Coffee® is on hiatus through the Christmas holidays.  We'll be rebroadcasting some of our most popular episodes of 2017.  Thank you for listening–and be sure to be with us for our coverage of CES 2018! Local Roots Farms founder and CEO Eric Ellestad is combining ancient knowledge with cutting-edge technology. His indoor farming company uses LED lighting, sensors and hydroponics in its proprietary growing system.   Local Roots Farms delivers turnkey "Terra Farms" to clients including universities, hospitals and community centers. Despite the twenty-first century look, Eric says, indoor farming existed thousands of years ago.  At Make in LA's Toolbox LA lunchtime event, in March he explained to his audience that the Ancient Babylonians  discovered indoor farming, as one of the seven wonders of the world. Eric talked about his background, shared the story of Local Roots Farms and discussed his plans to expand Local Roots Farms. On this edition of Over Coffee® you'll hear: How Eric developed his startup to meet the challenges of modern farming with cutting-edge technology; How this technology works to give plants the optimum growing environment; Some of the research Eric did, in developing his indoor farming systems; The story of Local Roots Farms, which Eric founded in 2013; A good "learning mistake" Eric and his team made, while developing their startup; The resources that worked well for him, in developing Local Roots Farms; The direction Eric wants to take his company, globally, in the future.   Make in L.A., Southern California's hardware startup epicenter, has a four-month intensive "High Touch Program" for startup entrepreneurs.   Here's the link for more information. Meanwhile, here's the link to Toolbox L.A.'s new coworking space, in Chatsworth!  They've combined founder resources into one location.  Their facility includes a maker space, manufacturing services and order processing services.  (Tours are available!) And check out their calendar of events for upcoming classes and future "Toolbox L.A." presentations!

Thanks to global supply chains, we can enjoy fresh and beautiful produce in the dead of winter. But our addiction to year-round produce causes big environmental issues, so our guest Eric Ellestad wants to rethink this paradigm. His company, Local Roots, is manufacturing self-contained high-tech hydroponic farms in shipping containers, which produce the equivalent of 5 acres of produce with 97% less water and half the energy of a traditional farm. His mission it to fix the global food chain, and they are developing a wide array of technologies in the process. But their desire to protect the IP they are developing raises an interesting dilemma, given their desire to scale their impact around the world. Meanwhile, they have just taken on several big customers including SpaceX and they are racing to meet their high expectations. More here: http://makeitinla.org/podcast/ericellestad
