Most small teams want to do more video. The hard part is doing it every week, without the crew, the hours, or the budget to make it happen.In this revisited episode, Matt sits down with Megan Torrance, Founder and CEO of Torrance Learning, to explore what it takes to make video work as a small team, and why the system she built years ago still holds up today.Megan's team rebuilt their studio so one person could walk in, flip a few switches, load up a teleprompter, and start recording.That setup is now the engine behind Megan's marketing videos and her stand-in client course (and the occasional goofy internal update, of course). It's also why her team can go from ‘a client needs this course updated' to published in a week.In the conversation, Megan also gets into why a quick video beats a memo or email for tone and authenticity, the shot lists she uses to keep editing under control, and how Camtasia's review workflow keeps feedback on the timeline instead of in email threads.Learning points from the episode include:00:00 – 01:09 Introduction01:09 – 01:31 Megan's background and Torrance Learning01:31 – 02:46 Outgrowing the four-person shoot02:46 – 03:29 Building a one-person studio with green tape03:29 – 04:20 The videos the new setup unlocks04:20 – 05:26 Why a quick video beats a memo, email, or Slack message05:26 – 06:11 Shot lists, single takes, and keeping post-production manageable06:11 – 06:50 Megan's preferred tools: Camtasia's review workflow06:50 – 09:09 From a week-long course update to more authentic marketing video09:09 – 09:58 OutroImportant links and mentions:Connect with Megan Torrance on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/megantorrance/Visit Torrance Learning: https://www.torrancelearning.com/Learn more about Camtasia: https://www.techsmith.com/camtasia/Listen to Megan's first appearance on The Visual Lounge in episode 219: https://the-visual-lounge.captivate.fm/episode/making-video-production-doable-as-a-small-business

Manny and Christina conducted a pre-show discussion for an upcoming podcast interview about podcast guesting for lead generation. Christina confirmed she would be discussing how podcast publicity can bring in leads and customers, and mentioned she has a special gift offer of a six-part private podcast. They discussed technical setup preferences, with Christina requesting to remain on video, and agreed to address the question about defining publicity early in the interview. The show was set to begin with Manny introducing Christina and providing background information about her expertise in podcast publicity. Career Pivot to Podcast Marketing Christina shared her career journey, starting with PR work at Dark Horse Comics and later representing clients like Cirque du Soleil. She explained how becoming a mother led her to seek part-time work, which eventually led to freelance work and creating an online course for tourism PR. Christina described how she successfully pivoted her business strategy by pitching herself on relevant podcasts rather than following traditional marketing advice, which significantly improved her course sales and consulting opportunities. She launched her agency in 2020 after making this strategic shift to podcast marketing. Publicity Strategy for Business Growth Christina explained her definition of publicity as one of three marketing pillars, distinct from owned and paid media, and discussed how many online entrepreneurs overlook this approach due to lack of control. She described her client base as approximately 50-50 between men and women, with a focus on helping businesses expand beyond referral-only and paid advertising models by reaching clients where they already pay attention, such as on podcasts. Christina outlined her service process, which begins with a messaging session to clarify target audiences and key talking points, followed by ongoing podcast research and pitching, including a unique guarantee on bookings. Podcast PR Strategy and Guarantees Christina explained how her podcast PR agency guarantees clients will be booked on 24 podcasts per year, which is possible due to the abundance of podcast opportunities compared to traditional PR methods. She shared an example of working with a fiction incubator client, where she identified and successfully targeted doctors, lawyers, and therapists as additional audience segments beyond the client's initial target of writers and creative professionals. Podcast Strategy and Content Creation Christina discussed how her company typically helps clients explore new pathways and strategies for podcast appearances, often suggesting targeted approaches across different show types. She explained that while they don't use AI for pitching, they leverage it for research and content creation, particularly in generating multiple pieces of content from a single podcast interview. Christina noted that most podcast appearances result in both audio and video formats, with the video being particularly valuable for creating social media snippets and website content. Podcast Booking Services Discussion Christina discussed her podcast booking services, emphasizing her industry reputation, personalized service, and guarantee of show quality. She addressed Manny's concerns about comfort in video and audio environments, explaining that nervousness is common for first-time podcast guests and offering one-on-one coaching to help clients prepare. Christina encouraged listeners, especially introverts, to overcome their fears, noting that podcast interviews are essentially one-on-one conversations where guests can ask for re-recordings if needed. She provided contact information for potential clients to learn more about her services and connect with her on LinkedIn or Instagram. ·       Website: https://www.publicityxchristina.com/ ·       Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/publicityxchristina/ ·       Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/publicityxchristina  Link to your special gift offer: Christina's 6-Part Private Podcast Series! ·       Gift for the audience: http://www.publicitypodcast.com/   Manny@mannynowak.com https://covertleadershiptraining.com/ https://coachmanny.com/  

What's on your bedside table? A lamp? A phone? A book? A bottle of melatonin gummies? A tangled charging cable? In this episode we explore what our bedside environments reveal about our relationship with sleep itself. Using real listener-submitted nightstands and bedside drawers — including my own — we introduce the Sleep Sanctuary Index (SSI™), a playful but evidence-informed scoring system designed to determine whether the things beside our bed are helping or hurting sleep. Along the way we discuss insomnia psychology, sensory regulation, sleep consumerism, clutter, nighttime rituals, and why some bedside tables feel like sanctuaries while others feel like tactical survival stations.In this episode we will:Introduce the “Sleep Sanctuary Index (SSI™)” — a 100-point grading system for bedside tables and bedside drawersExplore how clocks, clutter, visible cords, and environmental overstimulation may contribute to cognitive arousal and insomniaDiscuss research surrounding conditioned arousal, hypervigilance, and why the bedroom environment matters psychologicallyExamine how sound machines, eye masks, earplugs, nasal strips, and breathing devices may support sleep by improving sensory control and reducing physiologic arousalAnalyze real bedside setups ranging from “Reflective Sleep Specialist” to “Tactical Survivor”Discuss the rise of “sleep consumerism” and whether too many sleep interventions can paradoxically make sleep feel like workExplore how nighttime environments can become associated with either safety and ritual…or vigilance and performanceInvite listeners to submit photos of their own bedside tables and drawers to receive an official Sleep Sanctuary Index score and Nightstand Personality Type designationOriginal intro music Vigilanteology by Abhinav Singh (copyright 2026) Original outro music Vigilanteology (reprise) by Abhinav Singh (copyright 2026)Produced by: Maeve WinterMusic by: Dr. Abhinav Singh (@sleep_vigilante), all rights reservedMoreTwitter: @drchriswinterIG: @drchriwinterThreads: @drchriswinterBluesky: @drchriswinterThe Sleep Solution and The Rested ChildThanks for listening and sleep well!

Fractional employees are quickly becoming a practical solution for nonprofits facing talent shortages and budget constraints, but they're not a simple fix. This episode explores how fractional roles can unlock high-level expertise without full-time costs, while also exposing the hidden risks to continuity, culture, and donor relationships. The key insight: success isn't about whether you use fractional talent, but how intentionally you design and manage it.

In this episode of The IT Experts Podcast, I sit down with Mit Patel, Darren Strong, and Paul Green for a powerful panel discussion focused on one of the biggest challenges MSP owners face, how to stop working in your MSP and start building a business that works for you.     This is a topic I see come up time and time again. Many MSP owners start from a technical background, and before they know it, they are deep in the day to day, solving problems, firefighting, and carrying the weight of the business on their shoulders. If you want to stop working in your MSP, there has to be a conscious shift in how you think, plan, and lead.     Mit kicks things off by sharing something I see all the time. Most MSPs are not spending enough time planning, or they do not know where to start. The truth is, it does not need to be complicated. You need clarity on where you are now and where you want to get to in the next twelve months. From there, it is about breaking that down into simple, consistent actions that move you forward.     Darren builds on this and brings it back to consistency. Without a clear plan, you end up making decisions based on how you feel in the moment. One day you move in one direction, the next day it changes. Over time, that creates confusion across your team and slows everything down. If you want to stop working in your MSP, your plan needs to guide your decisions and shape the behaviour of your business.     Paul then brings in a perspective that I know will resonate with many of you. Too many MSPs are running on hope. Hoping they will find time for marketing. Hoping nothing disrupts the day. Hoping things will improve. That can go on for years. The shift happens when you decide to take control and build something with purpose. If you truly want to stop working in your MSP, you need to carve out time every day to focus on growth and the future of the business.     We also spend time talking about leadership, because this is where things really start to change. I have seen it in my own journey and with the MSPs we support. When your team understands the vision and knows what matters most, everything starts to move faster. Mit shares how aligning the team around clear quarterly priorities creates momentum and builds a culture where people feel part of the success. This is essential if you want to stop working in your MSP and create something that grows beyond you.     Another important part of the conversation is around speed and structure. In the early days, you can change direction quickly. As your business grows, that becomes harder. Paul explains the importance of staying flexible while putting the right systems in place. You need structure to scale, while still keeping enough agility to respond to change. That balance is key if you want to stop working in your MSP and keep moving forward.     Darren then brings it back to operational maturity, and this is where many MSPs hit a wall. You can only rely on hard work for so long. Long hours and constant pressure lead to fatigue, and eventually something has to change. This is often the moment when you realise that what got you here will not get you there. To stop working in your MSP, you need systems, measurement, and accountability that support consistent performance.     We also explore what is happening in the world of marketing and AI. There is a lot of noise right now, and it is easy to get distracted. Paul makes it clear that while AI is a powerful tool, it does not replace clear thinking. The fundamentals still matter. You need to understand your ideal client, communicate clearly, and build trust. When your marketing works properly, it creates a steady flow of opportunities, which is a huge step towards being able to stop working in your MSP.     We finish the episode with some simple actions that you can take straight away. Paul talks about finding time every day to work on your business. Mit suggests blocking out dedicated time each week for planning. Darren reinforces the importance of accountability and making sure you follow through on what you commit to.     When you bring all of this together, planning, leadership, consistency, and accountability, you create a business that no longer relies on you being involved in everything. That is the goal. To stop working in your MSP is about building something with clarity and structure, where the business continues to grow, whether you are there or not.   Connect with Mit Patel on LinkedIn HERE and discover more about Assurix HERE.  Connect with Darren Strong HERE.

Leadership gets glorified a lot and understood very little—and in this episode of This Is Woman's Work, Nicole Kalil cuts straight to the part no one wants to talk about: leader mental health. She's joined by Melissa Doman, organizational psychologist, former clinical mental health therapist, founder of the Workplace Mental Health Method, and author of Yes, You Can Talk About Mental Health at Work and Cornered Office. Melissa works with global companies like Google, Microsoft, Salesforce, and Estée Lauder, helping leaders and organizations have honest, practical conversations about mental health—especially at the top. Together, they unpack the outdated leadership norms that reward burnout and punish humanity, the real mental health toll of constant pressure and scrutiny, and what it actually looks like to lead in a way that's both effective and human. Because if leadership becomes miserable enough, the good ones won't stay—and that should scare all of us. In this episode, Nicole and Melissa explore: Why leadership mental health is still the elephant in the corner office How outdated ideas about power, stoicism, and authority hurt leaders Common mental health struggles leaders face, including anxiety, worry, negativity, and helplessness Why communicating capacity is a leadership skill, not a weakness How followers can better support leaders  What companies can do right now to make leadership more sustainable At the end of the day, this conversation makes one thing clear: if we want better workplaces, stronger teams, and sustainable success, we have to start treating leaders like humans—not machines.

Some men don't just go through one difficult relationship. They find themselves asking a harder question: Why do I keep ending up in the same situation with different people? In this episode, Simon Verhage talks honestly about growing up feeling unheard, carrying that need for connection into adult life, and how that led him into relationships he hoped would finally give him the stability he was looking for. What makes this conversation different is how openly he talks about the pattern, not just one breakdown but several, and the difficult realisation that until he understood himself better, the same outcomes were likely to repeat. We talk about things many men recognise but rarely connect together:  how early family dynamics can shape the partners we choose  why some men stay too long trying to “make it work”  how self-worth affects the relationships we accept  what it takes to step away from environments that aren't healthy  simple ways to start rebuilding stability from the inside.Simon also shares how these experiences led him to create Men's Mind Cave, a space where men can talk openly about relationship breakdown, stress, separation, and rebuilding without feeling judged. This episode isn't about blaming partners or reliving the past. It's about something more uncomfortable and more useful: recognising patterns, taking responsibility for your own direction, and learning how to stop repeating what isn't working. If you've ever found yourself thinking, "How did I end up here again?” This will probably resonate.If you want to find out more about Simon and the Men's Mind Cave, visit his website https://mensmindcave.co.uk/ and you can also find him on Facebook or Instagram under Men's Mind Cave. 

Do you ever feel like you're hustling non-stop just to keep up with your current delivery—and then, suddenly, your sales pipeline dries up? Or maybe you go from feast to famine: booking lots of work, then radio silence, then panic? I've been there. In fact, it's something I hear a lot from consultants and coaches so today I'm sharing the straightforward sales technique I've used for the last 10 years to sign new corporate clients every single month - even when things get busy. Most of us get stuck in a cycle: when we're flush with delivery, we go all-in for our clients, leaving sales activity until we're running on fumes, promising ourselves we'll tackle it "tomorrow." Before you know it, there's no new pipeline… and the cycle starts over. Why? Three key reasons: Pricing: Are you charging enough to justify your time, or is every new client eating into space you should use for business development? Forgetting Your Real Job: You're not just a consultant/coach/trainer—you're also the lead salesperson in your business. Reactive, Not Proactive: You spend your best energy on client delivery, leaving sales for when you're already exhausted (and it shows). The Simple Technique That Changes Everything Ready? Here it is: 10 Before 10. Every day, before 10am, complete 10 meaningful sales activities. That's it. I started doing this in my very first corporate role - and have continued ever since: It puts your pipeline first, not clients' urgent requests. You build the habit and "sales muscle" by practicing daily, not just when the panic sets in. By focusing on true sales activities (not just tinkering with your LinkedIn profile!), you consistently generate leads and stay visible. What counts as a "sales activity"? Proactively reaching out to new contacts or decision makers Sending follow-ups or chasing invoices Writing or sending proposals Anything that promotes direct sales action - NOT just passive content posting How to Make It Work for You Block an Hour Each Morning. No emails, no delivery work - just you and your pipeline. Define Your Sales Activities.  Treat Sales Like Your Most Important Client. Because it is. The activities you stack up today will create clients and cash flow 90 days from now. You deserve a business that's predictable, impactful, and sustainable - not one that leaves you drained or dreading another quarter. Key Quotes; Overcoming Sales Overwhelm "People are often feeling quite overwhelmed by their own sales process and particularly how they manage that with delivery." 00:08:0700:08:16   Viral Productivity Hack: "If I can do 10 sales activities every day before 10 AM, then my pipeline will always be building because I'm actively choosing to do sales activity first, which means I'm actively prioritising my pipeline first thing in the morning." 00:19:3500:19:52   "This should be a busy time for your sales process, and you should be making conversations with corporates happen now." 00:05:3200:05:40   "And that's something I've really tried to keep in my own business, is this idea of having definite decompression time where I'm just not working and not thinking about work." 00:01:0400:01:14 "The problem is, a lot of people think about, well, I'm just going to focus all in on this delivery, and then I'm going to do business development when I have the energy. That is really difficult because unfortunately, if you are in that pattern - and you'll recognise it instantly if you are - when that happens, you operate in this feast-famine cycle because your business has to." 00:09:3100:10:04   "There are so many things that fall under sales activities that do not involve any social media platform or any content creation that you absolutely should be prioritizing each day." 00:20:4600:20:57   Avoiding Burnout in Business: "It is a recipe for A, hating your sales activity forever, and B, burning out you know, and actually not enjoying the business that you've spent so much time and energy to create." 00:23:0900:23:22   Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode: Join the B2B Sales Edit https://magic.beehiiv.com/v1/988ac64b-5875-4924-9d10-50faad2aa4ad?email=%EMAIL% Episode sponsored by The Expert Services Directory: A key resource for coaches / consultants / trainers and done-for-you service providers to generate inbound leads.

What happens when AI agents — not humans — become your primary customer? That's not a hypothetical. It's already happening, and the founders who recognize it earliest are rebuilding their entire infrastructure stacks from scratch. In this live episode of Founded & Funded from our IA Summit in Seattle, Madrona Venture Partner Jon Turow sits down with Parag Agrawal, former CEO of Twitter and founder of Parallel Web Systems, and Nikita Shamgunov, who led Neon through a rapid AI pivot before its acquisition by Databricks. What they cover: Why Parag is building a new search index from the ground up — and why existing ones weren't designed for AI agents The moment Nikita realized Replit agents were spinning up databases 4x faster than all human developers combined — and what that forced him to do How to pivot an established company in weeks, not months, when your customer base suddenly changes The "pagers vs. iPhones" framework for knowing when to lean into disruption vs. protect what you have Parag's two-person hiring rubric for teams operating in deep uncertainty Why Nikita added the head of product for ChatGPT to Neon's board — and what that signaled to the market The "two-way door" model for giving agents real autonomy without catastrophic downside Whether you're building infrastructure, running an AI-native startup, or trying to figure out where your product fits in an agent-first world — this conversation will sharpen your thinking.

Miguel is not buying that this was a bad date. He says everything about his night with Meiko in Japantown pointed to a second date, strong chemistry, constant laughter, and a connection that felt real. She even told him she had a great time when they said goodbye. But the next day, she goes completely silent. No reply, no explanation. So either something happened that Miguel didn’t catch… or this is one of those ghosting situations that makes no sense at all.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Let's talk about the glow-up no one told you about: the one where you hit midlife and suddenly cannot be bothered with other people's bullshit anymore. Because somewhere between perimenopause, professional burnout, emotional labor overload, and decades of people-pleasing, something shifts. You stop cushioning your words. You stop managing everyone else's feelings like it's your unpaid side hustle. And when someone asks, “Are you okay?” the answer is, “Better than ever. I just ran out of estrogen—and tolerance.” In this episode, Nicole sits down with licensed clinical therapist Ellen Scherr to unpack the neuroscience behind what she calls “aging out of f*cks.” Spoiler alert: this isn't bitterness. It's biology. As estrogen declines in midlife, it impacts multiple neurochemical systems in the brain—systems tied to anxiety, people-pleasing, anger regulation, and emotional buffering. The “popular girl at the party” (aka estrogen) leaves… and suddenly the whole dynamic changes. What once felt like obligation starts to feel optional. What once felt terrifying starts to feel negotiable. And what once felt like “I should” becomes “Do I even want to?” They dive into: The neuroscience of perimenopause and menopause—and how hormonal changes impact confidence, risk-taking, and people-pleasing Why women's confidence actually increases with age (and can surpass men's in their 60s) The lifelong cost of emotional labor—and why it starts to break down in midlife How negativity bias keeps women stuck in fear (and how to reframe it) The difference between legitimate feedback and social punishment Why so many women make bold career, relationship, and life changes in their 40s, 50s, and beyond Whether it's possible to “speed up” the process of caring less in your 20s and 30s This isn't about blowing up your life. It's about understanding the neuroscience of midlife, reclaiming your authenticity, setting boundaries, and rewiring old people-pleasing patterns. Aging out of f*cks isn't decline—it's development. It's honesty over harmony. And if you're suddenly “too much”? Good. You're not here to be palatable. You're here to be you. Thank you to our sponsors!

Marriage. What could possibly go wrong?Show notes at: https://stationeryadjacent.com/episodes/223

Today I'm joined by David Wyler, CEO of Jeff Wyler Automotive Family. We dig into why Wyler abandoned traditional corporate management in favor of a “coach” model, how a strict 100-mile acquisition rule protects execution, and why culture—not capital—is the only defensible edge left in consolidation. David also unpacks his massive acquisition of the Midwest Auto Group, the lessons of stagnation during COVID, and what it really takes to scale a family business without losing its soul.

Be honest. How are you actually using AI right now?If you're like most people, you're probably asking it questions, tweaking some copy, maybe getting it to write a caption or two. And that's a great start. But what if AI could actually do the work for you? Like, really do it. Read and sort your emails. Schedule your social posts. Rebuild your website. Research every single person in a room before you walk in.That's what my husband Joshua Vial has been building in our house for the last few years. And watching him do it has been equal parts inspiring and humbling. Every week I'd see him do something that made my jaw drop and I'd say, Josh, you have to come and tell people about this. So here we finally are.Josh has spent 25 years as a programmer, co-founded Dev Academy Aotearoa where he helped hundreds of people go from zero to landing their first job in tech, and co-founded FundSorter, an AI platform saving New Zealand charities up to 90% of the time they used to spend chasing grant funding. These days through Code With JV he runs courses and a newsletter helping real people cut through the noise and actually use AI in their work and lives. He is one of the most forward-thinking people I know. And I finally got him on the podcast.So if you've been meaning to get better at working with AI and want to tap into its potential, this is the episode to teach you how.What You'll Learn:Why thinking of AI as an "intelligence" is actually getting in your way, and what mental model works betterThe difference between Level 1 AI use (chat windows, copy paste) and Level 2, where AI has actual digital hands and does things for youWhy AI is really good at producing things that look good but aren't, and how to protect yourself from thatHow to start systematising your work so AI can genuinely take things off your plateHow Josh went from 2,000 unread emails across six inboxes to a fully AI managed system for almost nothingThe social media workflow that took him from barely posting to 130,000 LinkedIn impressions in a week Hosted on Acast.

Register for the LIVE GovClose Workshop! Houston TX 25 March 2025https://www.govclose.com/workshopGovClose Certification Overview: https://www.govclose.comMost companies think government funding works like a normal bank account. It does not.The federal government uses strict funding rules tied to appropriation law, fiscal year timing, and what is commonly called the “Colors of Money.” These rules determine whether a contract can legally be awarded, not just whether an agency says it has funding available.In this video, I break down the three-part framework that controls every federal dollar: purpose, time, and amount. You will learn how funding categories like Operations and Maintenance (O&M), Research Development Test and Evaluation (RDT&E), Procurement, and Military Construction (MilCon) impact contract timing, pipeline forecasting, and win probability.I also explain fallout funds and why a large percentage of federal contract obligations happen in Q4. Understanding how funding expires, when agencies identify excess funds, and how experienced contractors position early can change how you build and forecast your federal pipeline.This lesson is based on real acquisition experience and federal spending data patterns. Fall Out FundsThis video is for government contractors, federal sales teams, consultants, and companies entering the federal market who want to understand how government funding actually drives contract awards.Chapters00:00 Why Government Money Is Different From Commercial Money00:45 The Three Rules That Control Federal Spending: Purpose Time Amount02:45 Colors of Money Explained: O&M RDT&E Procurement MilCon03:45 Why Funding Type Determines If You Can Win The Contract04:30 Federal Fiscal Year Timing And Funding Obligation Windows05:45 How Funding Timelines Change Contract Award Timing07:00 Questions Smart Contractors Ask About Government Funding09:30 Why Roughly 40 Percent Of Federal Obligations Happen In Q410:00 Fallout Funds And End Of Year Federal Spending Patterns11:30 How Contractors Position Early For Fallout Funds Opportunities

Across the grain industry, facility leaders are navigating a level of uncertainty we haven't seen in years. Volatile commodity markets. Weather extremes. Labor shortages. Tighter margins. Rising expectations around safety, uptime, and quality.In this episode of the Whole Grain Podcast, host Jim Lenz sits down with Matt Koch, Chief Marketing Officer at Sukup Manufacturing Co., to explore what it really takes to operate a modern grain facility in today's unpredictable environment.From macro market pressures and geopolitical shifts to storage strategy, grain conditioning risk, and practical automation, this conversation moves beyond equipment to systems thinking. Matt shares a global perspective from working with producers, commercial elevators, terminals, and processors across more than 100 countries.The takeaway? Long-term success isn't just about buying low and selling high. It's about reducing loss, designing resilient systems, and operating dependably—year after year.What You'll Learn• Why many operators are shifting from short-term optimization to 3–7 year strategic planning • How global trade, energy markets, and geopolitics are shaping grain infrastructure decisions • Why storage is becoming a strategic lever—not just capacity • The hidden risks of large-bin consolidation and long-term storage • How under-designed aeration systems quietly erode margins • Why CO₂ monitoring often detects grain issues before temperature spikes • What meaningful automation actually looks like in commercial facilities • How modular OEM automation systems can improve safety and consistency • Why preventing loss often matters more than market timingKey ThemesStorage as StrategyWell-designed storage allows operators to create market flexibility, improve throughput, standardize multi-site operations, and reduce management complexity. Scale has changed the game—and infrastructure must evolve with it.Grain Conditioning RiskAs bins grow larger, risk grows with them. Consolidated storage requires tighter monitoring. CO₂ levels, moisture control, proper fan management, and active oversight are critical to protecting grain value over long-term storage cycles.Automation for Real-World OperationsAutomation isn't about flashy control rooms. It's about preventing operator error at 2:00 a.m., improving safety, supporting lean teams, and ensuring consistent procedures across facilities.Loss Prevention Over SpeculationWhile commodity markets drive headlines, operational discipline drives profitability. Reducing spoilage, minimizing downtime, and designing dependable systems may be the most powerful competitive advantage.Learn more at: www.sukup.comGrain Elevator and Processing Society champions, connects and serves the global grain industry and its members.

She recalls recognizing her calling as an artist as early as age four or five, and later feeling that oil paint was her true medium after experimenting with watercolor and acrylics in college. She also tells us about how throughout her life she held a series of unconventional jobs, but always returned to nostalgic rural landscapes, eventually realizing she could not keep a “normal” job and had to make art her livelihood. Romona explains that her paintings are driven by intuition, memory, and emotion rather than strict realism: she chases a very specific feeling in the light and design of a scene, mixing plein air sketches, photos, and childhood memories of Oklahoma's skies and trees. She also talks about the tension between nostalgia and change, seeing herself partly as a visual historian preserving vanishing farmsteads, gardens, and rural spaces, and notes how her work has evolved toward more layering and a desire for greater simplification and abstraction. Romona offers advice to aspiring artists; she stresses building a large, solid body of work, considering financial stability, and accepting that painting is an ongoing, often difficult process where doubt never fully disappears, but commitment to one's vision is essential. Finally, Romona tells us about her upcoming shows!Romona's FASO site:romonayoungquist.comRomona's Instagram:instagram.com/rlyoungquist/

If you have ever walked out of an interview thinking I nailed that and still did not move forward, this episode is your wake up call. Today, I'm breaking down one of the most common reasons qualified CSMs struggle to land offers even when they prepare and practice. Most candidates prep for every interview the exact same way, and it quietly works against them. Recruiters, hiring managers, and cross-functional partners may ask similar questions, but they are listening for very different signals.In this episode, I walk you through a smarter, more strategic way to prepare based on who you are interviewing with so you can tailor your answers without sounding scripted or inauthentic. By the end, you will know exactly how to shift your messaging so you come across confident, credible, and intentional in every round. If you are tired of guessing what interviewers want and ready to finally control the outcome, hit play and let's dive in.

Unconscious bias is part of being human, and pretending it doesn't exist is a waste of time. You can't train it out of people, and you can't erase it from yourself—it's how we recognize patterns and survive. The real mistake is trying to eliminate bias instead of understanding it. In this episode, I explain why bias is hardwired and how you can flip it to work for you instead of letting it work against you.

The family table has always been about more than food, yet it's common to let this rhythm of family connection fall to the wayside in the midst of busy family life.  In this conversation, we explore why shared meals have slowly faded from many homes, the real obstacles that make dinnertime feel difficult, and how simple, nourishing food can still anchor our families in busy seasons.  We talk about flexible from-scratch recipes, rethinking productivity as mothers, and why the table becomes even more important as children grow.  This episode offers practical encouragement for cultivating belonging around the family table without the pressure of perfect or elaborate meals. In this episode, we cover: - How family dinner slowly faded from American life and why reclaiming the table matters more now than ever - The biggest obstacles modern families face when it comes to eating together and which ones are worth pushing back against - Why gathering around the table becomes more important as children get older, not less - A realistic look at simple, nourishing dinners that can come together in 20 minutes without elaborate planning - What it really looks like to keep a “flow” going throughout the day without being tied to the kitchen - How meal prep, sourdough, broth, and slow cooking create flexibility instead of pressure in busy seasons - Setting boundaries around activities and schedules while still allowing teens to grow in their independence - Practical ways to cultivate connection at the table with young children, even when meals feel chaotic - Using stories, shared rituals, and simple questions to turn mealtime into a natural place for conversation and safety - Reframing productivity in motherhood by embracing choppy, interrupted work rhythms and learning how small pockets of effort still add up to progress - Rethinking kids' snacking habits, how constant grazing impacts appetite and mealtime connection, and why “hunger” can actually work in your favor - Why hosting doesn't require special menus or extra effort and how shared meals foster community View full show notes on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.
