How to design meetings with purpose so they actually move work forward.Meetings are a necessary part of work. But for many people, they're also a major source of frustration. According to Rebecca Hinds, meetings don't have to feel like a drain—better meetings start when we stop treating them as a default and start designing them with intention.Hinds is the author of Your Best Meeting Ever: Seven Principles for Designing Meetings That Get Things Done, and a future-of-work expert who founded the Work Innovation Lab at Asana and the Work AI Institute at Glean. She argues that the problem isn't meetings themselves, but the sheer number of poorly designed ones, and by being more thoughtful about what actually deserves synchronous time, teams can redesign how they communicate in the workplace “Meetings are the most important product in our entire organization, and yet they're also the least optimized,” she says. “The first step is recognizing we need to be much more intentional about how we're designing meetings.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Hinds and host Matt Abrahams discuss why meetings so often go wrong—and what it takes to make them work. Whether you're leading a team, trying to protect focus time, or simply hoping to spend less of your week in calendar invites, Hinds offers practical frameworks for designing meetings with purpose so they become a tool people actually value.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Rebecca HindsRebecca's Book: Your Best Meeting EverEp.124 Making Meetings Meaningful Pt. 1: How to Structure and Organize More Effective Gatherings Ep.125 Making Meetings Meaningful Pt. 2: Key Ingredients for Effective Meetings Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (01:42) - Why Meetings Feel Broken (02:57) - The Default-To-Meeting Problem (03:50) - Treat Meetings Like A Product (05:10) - Meeting Doomsday Reset (06:40) - The 4-DCEO Test (08:43) - Designing Better Meetings (10:05) - Creating a Meeting Agenda (12:58) - Context And Meeting Fatigue (14:06) - Memo-First Meetings (16:11) - The Final Three Questions (21:02) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.

This episode's guests were speakers on the Joint ADSA-CSAS Breeding and Genetics Symposium:Dairy Welfare—Breeding and Management Strategies at the 2025 ADSA annual meeting. Jessica's talk was titled “Herd Sustainability Index: Using milk recording data to evaluate dairy herd sustainability.” This index provides a national percentile ranking benchmark for producers relative to sustainability from DHI data. The index evaluates ten indicators in four major categories: longevity and culling, feeding and production, heifers, and health. (2:51)Dr. Vasseur's talk was titled “Improving welfare through inclusive innovation: The story of WELL-E.” This inclusive innovation delivers data-driven solutions with and for the Canadian dairy industry by integrating stakeholder and domain knowledge with cutting-edge tools and methods of the improvement of animal and human welfare. (4:48)Dr. Vasseur talks about the development of the Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Dairy Cattle, which was published in 2023. This most recent code of practice included recommendations and requirements for more opportunities for movement for dairy cattle, particularly those in tie stall environments. Dr. Vasseur's lab has conducted research in this area to help dairy producers with possible modifications of stalls and other recommendations to improve cow comfort. Jessica describes her master's research in tie stall modifications. The guests go on to talk about how often cows in tie stalls bump into their stall, some proof-on-concept research looking at doubling stall size, and recommendations for cow comfort improvements in existing tie stall operations. (6:53)Dr. Vasseur discusses the relationship between cow comfort and longevity. She also talks about the realities of converting a tie stall barn to a free stall barn. (20:12)Jessica describes the indicators used in the Herd Sustainability Index in more detail. A minimum of six tests in the last 12 months with 50% of the cows being recorded are needed to calculate the index for a farm. Seven of the ten HSI indicators are required for the index to be calculated. She goes on to explain how producers can see their index compared to the rest of Canada as well as historical change in their index, and details an incentive program for high-indexing and most-improved herds. (24:07)Dr. Vasseur talks about cow comfort and welfare comparisons among intensive dairy production countries. She envisions the development and implementation of technology to allow for more automation and reduced observer bias of processes such as lameness evaluation. (30:30)So what is WELL-E? Dr. Vasseur gives some background and details about bringing together animal scientists, computer scientists, and stakeholders to develop cutting-edge tools for the improvement of animal and human welfare. (33:24)Jessica talks about her PhD research in dairy cow behavior and pasture management. She conducted a study where pastures were mowed the morning of grazing compared to conventional grazing. Cows in the mowed pastures spent more time ruminating and drank more water, but no differences in milk production or milk components were observed. (38:02)Panelists share their take-home thoughts.

On today's show, we cover lawmaker agriculture priorities, global ag news and crop protection considerations as farmers plan for the 2026 growing season following a challenging year of disease pressure. Agriculture news this week covers what federal lawmakers will be prioritizing these upcoming few weeks from a discussion heard at the American Farm Bureau Convention earlier this week, and the group's top policy priorities for the year ahead. Today's show also shares the newly signed Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act and what it means for schools and dairy farmers, delays to USDA's ARC and PLC programs until after the 2026 planting season, developments involving Venezuela and the energy industry and a new report showing U.S. agricultural equipment sales declined compared to the previous year. This week's interview is with Dean Grossnickle, Technical Development Lead at Syngenta, who joins the show to discuss pre and post-emerge crop protection strategies, especially in light of late-season disease pressure seen last year including Southern rust. The conversation highlights why weed control is more critical than ever and the questions Grossnickle is hearing from farmers this winter as they build their weed management plans.

How to Trade Stocks and Options Podcast by 10minutestocktrader.com
Are you looking to save time, make money, and start winning with less risk? Then head to https://www.ovtlyr.com.If trading has ever felt confusing, stressful, or way more emotional than you expected, this lesson is going to feel like a breath of fresh air. This video is all about money management and why it is the real skill that separates traders who survive from traders who quietly disappear. Not stock picks. Not predictions. Not hype. Risk management.This session from OVTLYR University picks up right where the earlier lessons left off. You have already talked about mindset, psychology, and building a trading plan. Now comes the part most people skip, even though it matters the most. How do you manage your money so one bad stretch does not knock you out of the game entirely?Right away, the conversation flips the way most people think about trading. You do not get to decide how much money you make on a trade. The market handles that. What you do control is how much you are willing to lose. That one shift in thinking changes everything about how trades are sized, managed, and emotionally handled.This is not a dry lecture. It is a real, back-and-forth class discussion about why traders struggle, how ego sneaks into decision making, and why focusing on profits too early almost always leads to bad outcomes. The message is simple but powerful. Trade risk first. Everything else comes second.About halfway through, the lesson really locks in on the ideas that make the biggest difference long term:✅ Why money management matters more than finding the perfect stock✅ How position sizing protects you from long losing streaks✅ What it really means to trade risk first✅ Why most traders fail even with decent strategies✅ How fear, greed, and ego quietly sabotage good plansA big portion of the video breaks down the Kelly Criterion. It sounds technical, but it is explained in a way that actually makes sense. You will see how it connects expectancy, win rate, and risk-to-reward into a single framework for sizing trades. You will also see why full Kelly is wildly aggressive and why most real traders scale it way down using fractional Kelly approaches like half, quarter, or even eighth Kelly.The honest takeaway here is refreshing. Just because math says you could risk more does not mean you should. Comfort matters. Sleep matters. Staying mentally clear matters. A position size that looks great on paper can still be a terrible idea if it keeps you glued to the screen or panicking over every tick.There is also a clear line drawn between trading and gambling. Gambling hopes. Trading plans. Trading tests ideas, understands that losses are inevitable, and sizes risk so those losses do not matter in the long run. That difference is subtle, but it is everything.If you have ever chased a hot stock, ignored your rules, or felt crushed after a losing trade, this lesson will resonate. It is practical, honest, and grounded in real trading experience. No fantasy returns. No get-rich-quick nonsense. Just the tools you actually need to manage risk, stay in the game, and build consistency over time.Gain instant access to the AI-powered tools and behavioral insights top traders use to spot big moves before the crowd.

Matt Dye discusses herd dynamics and deer densities on three different recreational farms across three different states. He highlights the importance of balancing herd density with habitat improvements. As this is the only way to see the farm's full maximized value. Farm 1 in Ohio, 959 acres, has a high deer density of 196 deer per square mile, necessitating a reduction from 295 deer to 110 per square mile over four years. Farm 2 in Kentucky, 580 acres, has a lower density of 111 deer per square mile and requires a similar reduction strategy. Farm 3, a 1500-acre timbered farm with high fencing, has a one-to-one buck-to-doe ratio and a high fawn recruitment rate, requiring a focus on reducing lower-quality bucks and maintaining doe harvest. These three examples emphasize the need for comprehensive herd and habitat management. Trophy deer hunting requires a fluid and engaged habitat management and herd management program. Without either, you will be lacking!

Ever wonder how a profitable company can suddenly face bankruptcy? The answer lies in Working Capital Management (WCM). In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained on FinPod, we delve beyond profit margins to examine the daily cash battle that determines a company's survival and growth.We unpack the paradox of being "paper rich, cash poor" and reveal how WCM masters, such as Apple and Walmart, have turned liquidity into a competitive weapon, while others have learned the hard way that neglecting cash flow can destroy value.This episode covers:The WCM Paradox: Understanding the critical difference between long-term profit and short-term liquidity, and how a broken Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) can lead to failure.Strategic Mastery: How companies achieve strategic negative working capital by using market leverage to get cash from customers instantly while stretching payments to suppliers (effectively an interest-free loan from the supply chain).Lessons from Failure: The stark warning from Kraft Heinz, where a WCM breakdown—bloated inventory and slow receivables—led directly to a painful dividend cut, showing WCM discipline is not optional.The Finance Playbook: Five core strategies every professional must champion to weaponize WCM, including tightening Accounts Receivable terms, centralizing cash with Treasury Management, and using AI for demand forecasting.Critical Ratios: The importance of stress testing your short-term resilience and knowing key ratios that signal liquidity risk long before the crisis hits.

Wealth management is often seen as a numbers game—assets under management, returns, tax exposure—but for Paul Carroll, it's always been about people first. As the CEO and founder of Avion Wealth, Carroll has spent nearly two decades building a firm that redefines what it means to serve high-net-worth individuals and families. With a philosophy rooted in trust, leadership, and strategic clarity, he has grown Avion Wealth into a firm that manages over $850 million in assets, while maintaining a deep personal connection to clients and team members alike. Carroll's approach to wealth management was shaped by his early life experiences—arriving in the U.S. at 17 with just $200, joining the Air Force to fund his education, and eventually earning degrees from the University of Maryland and Texas A&M. That grit and resourcefulness laid the groundwork for a professional path that would favor clarity over complexity, service over sales. Rather than adopting the standard broker-dealer model, Carroll built Avion Wealth around a consultative framework designed to deliver holistic financial planning that aligns with clients' evolving goals and values. A central theme of Carroll's leadership is the development of a self-managing team. He's the first to admit he didn't know everything when he started out, but his drive to learn—paired with an unwavering curiosity—helped him grow both as a leader and a strategist. He believes firmly in the idea that the people who get you to one level of success may not be the same ones who take you to the next. That's why hiring, mentorship, and team development are non-negotiable components of his wealth management philosophy. Surrounding himself with A-players has allowed him to shift his role from day-to-day management to visionary leadership, which continues to propel the firm forward. For business owners and executives navigating their own financial journeys, Carroll's message is clear: complexity doesn't equal effectiveness. In fact, one of his biggest lessons came during the 2008 financial crisis, when a strategy designed to attract a niche market completely missed the mark. Instead of folding, Carroll pivoted quickly—realigning his firm's focus on the types of clients who truly valued their model. That flexibility, paired with a willingness to act and adjust, has become a defining element of his wealth management strategy. Ford Saeks, a longtime business strategist and host of Fordify LIVE, highlights the importance of this kind of mindset. Whether you're leading a financial advisory firm, a franchise system, or a high-growth startup, the principles are the same. Leadership isn't about knowing everything—it's about creating an environment where growth, curiosity, and clear execution thrive. Saeks often emphasizes that business success is built on systems, people, and positioning—three areas where Carroll's leadership offers a practical blueprint. One area where Carroll stands out is his perspective on referrals and business development. Rather than focusing on transactions or outbound marketing, he invests in relationships with centers of influence—accountants, attorneys, and other professionals who trust him enough to introduce their clients. That kind of trust isn't earned overnight. It's built through reputation, results, and the ability to consistently deliver value. Carroll notes that people don't refer others to help you—they refer because they believe you can help someone they care about. In a field where technical knowledge is table stakes, Carroll brings a human-centered lens to wealth management. His firm's success has been shaped not just by financial acumen, but by an ability to listen, lead, and stay aligned with clients' real-world needs. Whether advising on tax strategies, succession planning, or charitable giving, Carroll and his team act less like service providers and more like partners—guiding clients through every stage of growth, transition, and legacy. For professionals looking to elevate their own approach to wealth management—or simply lead with more intention—the takeaways are clear: Build a team that supports your vision. Stay curious. Act before you're ready. And never underestimate the power of meaningful relationships. Watch the full episode on YouTube.

From raw materials and finished goods to WIP and cutting tools, we share the financial, operational, and workflow implications of what you keep on the shelf (and what you shouldn't). You'll hear real-world examples of vendor-managed material programs, strategies for keeping traceability without burying yourself in admin work, and ways we've turned “dead” stock into real cash. We also dig into why inventory accuracy matters beyond just making parts—touching on tax implications, property valuations, and how inventory missteps can kill the value of your business in a sale. And if you've ever lost hours hunting for the right cutter or fixture, our storage and tracking advice might change the way you think about tooling forever.
