This week on Talk Dirt To Me, we're answering your questions, taking our lumps, and diving headfirst into some of agriculture's biggest debates. One listener absolutely roasts us before asking the question that sparked one of our favorite discussions: Is ethanol actually a good thing? As a row crop farmer, Logan shares his honest perspective on ethanol, corn demand, consumer choice, and whether the benefits are as clear-cut as many people claim. We also tackle a social media comment suggesting the United States should simply eliminate row crop farming. What would actually happen if we stopped growing corn, soybeans, wheat, and cotton? We break down the real-world consequences, from the economic impact and millions of jobs tied to agriculture to livestock feed, land use, food production, and what it would mean for American farmers and consumers. As always, we've got plenty of listener Q&A covering topics from around the farm, plus another listener-submitted Top Two, where we tell the stories of the biggest times our parents caught us being bad as kids. Let's just say...we earned a few whoopings. We wrap things up with our Made in the USA Product of the Week featuring Dr. Squatch Pine Tar Soap, one of our favorite American-made products. If you enjoy honest conversations about farming, agriculture, rural life, ethanol, row crop farming, cattle, food production, and the realities of modern agriculture, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share the show with a friend.

Public education is often the subject of cultural consternation and controversy — so what does it look like to follow Jesus as a schoolteacher? In this episode, Bob Thune and Bethany Gilbert sit down with Courtney Tompkins, a high school math teacher, to discuss the joys and challenges of serving students in today's educational environment. Courtney shares how her faith shapes her work, the challenges of caring for students, the importance of Christian community in the workplace, and why ordinary faithfulness matters in the classroom.
In this episode, Autumn and Noah talk with Kevin Hartnett about why mathematicians are willing to spend years reducing an idea to a level of detail a machine can check, whether formal verification can catch an AI that's technically correct but fundamentally misaligned, the cold-start problem that kept earlier theorem-provers niche, and what it means for the future of mathematical trust once AI can generate proofs faster than any human community can read them.Timeline:00:00 Introduction to Lean and Its Significance03:18 The Journey of Writing the Book05:13 Human Element in Mathematical Formalization06:57 Understanding Formal Proofs in Mathematics11:21 The Origins of Lean and Its Purpose13:03 Misalignment in Software Specifications14:39 Building Mathematical Libraries in Lean17:23 Ensuring Accuracy in Mathematical Foundations22:00 Overcoming the Cold Start Problem in Lean Adoption24:36 The Future of Mathematical Proofs30:26 AI's Role in Mathematics38:29 Expanding Beyond Mathematics41:40 The Long-Term Impact of LeanThe Proof in the Code is out now from Quanta Books.

Most brands still evaluate enterprise Shopify on license cost. The operators in this conversation evaluate it on opportunity cost, and that reframe changes the whole decision.Rick Watson opens a three-part series on the business case for enterprise Shopify with three people who have actually run the migration. Elara Verrett, Chief Digital and Customer Officer at Reitmans made the move to get closer to the customer without standing up an army of engineers. Renee Halverson, CMO at Marine Layer, has run on the platform for more than a decade and scaled the brand without hiring a CTO to babysit the stack. Scott Lux, VP of Digital Commerce at Stanley 1913, came from the Salesforce and Demandware world and now uses Shopify to survive high-heat drops, where the only question that matters is how many orders per minute the platform can clear.The number that came up: one brand cut its tech partner count from 40 to 10. The argument underneath it: a fashion retailer's core competency is retailing, not running a development shop.It isn't all upside. Scott's warning is blunt. The front end is nimble, but the downstream integrations into OMS and ERP are where "easy" goes to die, so pressure test them before anyone signs. Lara's warning is about people, not software. The agility is real, and most large organizations are not built to absorb it.One point they all landed on, and it cuts against instinct: standardization beats customization where it counts. Checkout is the example. Shoppers trust the flow they already know, and rebuilding it rarely pays for itself.The Big Green Bag Of Promise: Enterprise Shopify Webinar Series is sponsored by Avalara, Domaine, and Pattern.

What if the client you love the most… is quietly costing you the most money? In this eye-opening episode of the CEO Glow Show, Sheila Bella breaks down one of the biggest hidden money leaks in the beauty industry: the "nice client." You know the one. She's easygoing. She trusts you. She never complains. She says "whatever works for you." And because she feels emotionally safe, you unconsciously start bending your boundaries, undercharging, extending time, skipping price increases, and quietly discounting your business without realizing it. This episode isn't about becoming cold or transactional. It's about understanding the difference between a nice client and a profitable client—and why structure, policies, and pricing systems matter more than your emotions. If you've ever stayed underpaid because someone was "so sweet," this episode is going to completely change the way you think about boundaries, pricing, and profitability. Because loving your clients and charging properly were always allowed to exist in the same sentence.
The energy transition is in the midst of its own transition. Spiking electricity demand and geopolitical events are driving up energy prices, while debates over the best sources of generation play out amid supply chain constraints and questions about whether or not the energy crisis in the Strait of Hormuz will accelerate a transition away from oil and gas. But underneath all those debates is a more basic question: do we have the data, evidence, and analytical clarity that is needed to understand where the energy world actually stands? Today on the show, Jason Bordoff speaks with Michael Cembalest about "Fighting Words: The Energy Transition in 2026," the latest installment of Michael's annual "Eye on the Market" energy report. It takes a hard look at the state of the energy transition and the many battles shaping the energy world today, from the so-called "primary energy fallacy," which can obscure how much useful energy renewables actually provide, to China's dominance in the sector, to the economics of electric vehicles. Michael is chairman of market and investment strategy for J.P. Morgan Asset Management. Prior to this role he was chief investment officer for J.P. Morgan's Global Private Bank, and has spent his entire career at the bank, joining the securities division in 1987. Credits: Hosted by Jason Bordoff and Bill Loveless.

Make Math Moments Problem Based Lessons & Units Many schools want to improve math instruction, but few have a clear process for deciding what to focus on, how to measure progress, and how to align professional learning around a shared vision. Without that clarity, improvement efforts can quickly become fragmented and difficult to sustain.What does it actually look like to bring an entire math team together and build a plan for improvement from the ground up? In this episode, we unpack a real three-day process used with a middle and high school math department to co-create a vision for mathematics, identify priority areas for growth, define success criteria, and establish structures for ongoing professional learning. Rather than starting with programs or initiatives, the work began with a shared understanding of the student experience they wanted to create—and the specific shifts needed to move toward that vision.

Yoga professionals are required to complete continuing education to maintain their credentials. Nobody has ever done the math on what that requirement actually costs over a career, or what it actually returns in earning potential. In this episode we put both numbers on the table — the real cumulative cost of continuing education across a yoga career, and the honest answer to whether those requirements serve the professional or the organizations that set them.RESOURCESWorking In Yoga WebsiteWorking In Yoga NewsletterThe Back RoomInside Yoga Magazine
Zvi Mowshowitz joins AI in the AM to unpack Anthropic's Fable system card, including its FrontierMath leap, troubling Vending-Bench behavior, decision-theory drift, and signs that model reasoning may be becoming harder to read. The episode then turns to the US government's attempted export-control action against Fable, with Zvi arguing that the cited jailbreak demonstration did not prove the claimed threat while still faulting Anthropic's political handling. Sam Hammond and Judd Rosenblatt add competing reads on state capacity, CAISI, NSA-driven caution, and the alignment world's failure to build trust across partisan lines. The stakes are whether frontier AI capability, safety evaluation, and government power can be coordinated before medicine, mathematics, software, and cyber-relevant systems move further ahead.

The math of buying in has changed. The math of staying in has too. David Widmar of Agricultural Economic Insights and Eric Olsen of MNP Farm Management bring the US and Canadian numbers together to examine what farmland affordability, cash rent pressure, and the post-ZIRP interest rate environment actually mean for producers running a farm in 2026.

Shannon and Mary record their Season 8 finale, catching up on what they've been doing during the school year. They've both been busy with balancing personal and professional responsibilities, with work hours increasing for Shannon in tutoring and for Mary in advocacy work and supporting parents in IEP meetings. In their tutoring practices, they're both advancing beyond decoding work with many of their students, and during the discussion, they both realized they had adopted sentence-composing activities, inspired by 8.8's guest, Sara Lee. During the discussion, they detail how their students use literature-based model sentences and scaffolded imitation to build sentence skills, comprehension, and vocabulary. Shannon describes how she adds language support using English Linking Blocks and word lists. The discussion then highlights their excitement about UFLI's upcoming structured morphology curriculum, Word Origins (adapted from Australia). In the episode chat, they also touch on the AMIRA screener, Mary's recent SWI professional learning through Word Torque, and how they're both supporting students' math knowledge and skills in their tutoring.

When we invest our money, we understand the magic of compounding interest—how a small daily deposit, left alone over decades, transforms into staggering wealth. Yet, we rarely apply this same mathematical principle to our emotional well-being. We expect one meditation session or one good day to fix all our anxiety. In this episode, we are going to explore the compounding interest of peace, and discover how tiny, consistent habits of mindfulness multiply over time to create a reservoir of inner resilience that no external crisis can shake."

Questions? Thoughts? Send a Text to The Optometry Money Podcast! We'll answer your question on the show.Episode SummaryMost practice owners spend close to two decades building their business — and too often only a few months planning how they exit it. That imbalance shows up in the outcomes.This episode kicks off a new series on planning for the sale of your practice, built around five questions worth answering long before a sale shows up on your calendar. We start with the first and most important one: not "what is my practice worth?" but "what does this sale actually need to do for my retirement to work?"Because those are two completely different questions — and the gap between what you assume the practice is worth and what you actually need it to do is where a lot of the regret lives. We walk through why your retirement gap sets the floor for every other exit decision, how to actually build that number, and why the earlier you start, the more flexibility you'll have on your way out.What You'll LearnThe five questions to answer when planning to exit your practice (and why this one comes first)Why your practice valuation only matters in relation to your retirement gapHow two identical practices can lead to two completely different sale strategiesWhy earlier owners have far more flexibility — and how to "pre-fund" your future buyoutHow to build your retirement gap: lifestyle spending, guaranteed income, existing assets, and the gap that remainsHow that gap becomes your negotiating floor — shaping timeline, buyer type, and payment structureThe what-if scenarios worth testing before you ever sellKey Takeaways for OptometristsYour practice valuation is only meaningful in context. The number that actually matters is the gap between what you've already built outside the practice and what your retirement plan needs to succeed. Until you know that gap, every conversation about price, structure, and buyer is theoretical — you have nothing to measure an offer against.Figure out that number first, and it becomes your negotiating floor. It tells you whether you can wait for the right buyer, whether you can sell to an associate at a friendly price or need to chase a higher multiple, and whether work is truly optional afterward. Too many owners step into a sale unsure of what their family actually needs — and let the deal determine their retirement plan rather than the other way around.Resources for OptometristsPodcast Ep 160: How to Maximize Your Optometry Practice Value Before You Sell with Erich MatteiPodcast Ep 50: Guide to Due Diligence on Practice Purchases with Erich MatteiPodcast Ep 80: Intro to Optometry Practice Valuations with Erich MatteiPodcast Ep 70: Financial Planning Considerations for Owners of Established Optometry PracticesWant a more proactive approach to your planning?You can schedule a no-commitment introductory call to discuss what's on your mind financially and learn how we help optometrists navigate those same decisions nationwide.

In this episode of Room to Grow, Ali Martinez, Chief Program Officer for Math at Student Achievement Partners (SAP), joins Joanie and Curtis for a conversation about the math that matters. In the current era, math teachers face too much content and too little time to feel or be effective in allowing students the chance to learn math deeply.Aly shared information about SAP's national initiative to identify essential mathematics content for high school, and to integrate data science competencies. The work builds on COVID-era prioritization efforts and aims to address curriculum overload through systems-level change involving standards revision, instructional materials alignment, and cross-sector collaboration. The conversation acknowledges and elevates the role of durable skills, the rising importance of data literacy, and the need for systemic change to realize these desired outcomes.Be sure to check out these resources, referenced in this month's episode.Learn more and stay in touch with Math that Matters resource: https://learnwithsap.org/math-that-matters/ Durable skills in math https://learnwithsap.org/durableskills/ High School redesign: https://learnwithsap.org/overlap-to-opportunity/ Research into high school math textbooks https://learnwithsap.org/math/a-rare-look-inside-high-school-math-textbooks-and-what-publishers-say-needs-to-change/ Coherence Map from Student Achievement Partners Data Science for Everyone website

In this episode of The Catholic Money Show, Jonathan and Amanda Teixeira talk about a financial task many families know they should revisit but often put off: life insurance.After growing their family and realizing their original policies no longer matched their current reality, Jonathan and Amanda share why life insurance needs to be reviewed as your family changes. What made sense before kids, or with one or two children, may no longer be enough after more children, a larger mortgage, higher expenses, inflation, or a change in family needs.They explain why term life insurance can be an act of love and stewardship, especially for families with dependents. The goal is not to create a windfall, but to make sure your spouse and children would be financially cared for if the unthinkable happened.
What if leadership isn't about carrying more?What if the true responsibility of a leader isn't solving every problem but intentionally creating the conditions where other people can do their best work?In this special solo episode of Leaning Into Leadership, Dr. Darrin Peppard reflects on a week of leadership coaching, keynote speaking, and executive development that led him to articulate a philosophy that has quietly guided his work for years.Building on the response to his recent blog, I Thought I Was Helping - A Perspective on Servant Leadership, Darrin challenges traditional assumptions about servant leadership, delegation, coaching, and what it really means to support the people we lead.Instead of measuring leadership by how much we carry, this episode invites listeners to rethink leadership through the lens of clarity, coaching, systems, intentionality, and growth.In this episode you'll discover:Why many servant leaders become trapped in the Cycle of ChaosThe difference between creating dependence and creating capacityHow coaching conversations create lasting leadership growthWhy systems and intentionality matter more than constant problem-solvingThe leadership question that can transform every meeting and conversationA new philosophy that connects coaching, ALIGN, leadership teams, and intentional leadershipKey TakeawaysGreat leaders create conditions instead of collecting responsibilities.Coaching is one of the greatest acts of servant leadership. Every meeting, conversation, expectation, and decision creates conditions that shape culture.Leaders escape the Cycle of Chaos when they stop doing everyone else's work and focus on developing people instead.Memorable Quotes"Leadership is the intentional creation of conditions where other people can do their best work.""The Cycle of Chaos happens when leaders stop creating conditions and start doing everybody else's work.""Sometimes the most servant-hearted thing we can do is ask another question instead of providing another answer.""Maybe leadership isn't measured by how much we carry. Maybe it's measured by how much capacity we create in others."ConnectIf this episode challenged your thinking, share it with another leader, leave a review, and subscribe to the podcast.For leadership coaching, keynote speaking, leadership retreats, and weekly leadership insights, visit roadtoawesome.net or darrinpeppard.comSponsor Spotlight:This episode is sponsored by HeyTutor.HeyTutor partners with schools and districts nationwide to provide evidence-based high-dosage tutoring support in Math and ELA while helping schools remain intentional about staff capacity and student support systems.Learn more here: HeyTutor.com

Executive Summary In the third and final episode of the Prosperity Podcast's retirement series, Kim Butler and Spencer Shaw arrive at the topic most people want to start with: portfolio allocation. But three episodes in, the foundation is in place, and the numbers hit differently. Kim opens by explaining why the typical 60/40 stocks-to-bonds split is far more dangerous than most investors realize, and why the math behind it rarely matches the projections people are shown. The core problem is a triple drag: taxes, fees, and opportunity cost. Every dollar paid in taxes or fees does not just leave the portfolio. It removes that dollar's future compounding power for the life of the investment. Kim illustrates with a stark example run through Todd Langford's TruthConcepts calculators: a $2 million portfolio projected to grow to $14 million can, under the weight of taxes, fees, automatic rebalancing costs, and forced withdrawals during market downturns, shrink to less than $1 million in real outcome. The numbers were so surprising that Todd ran them twice on separate tools before Kim felt comfortable sharing them. The solution Kim presents is replacing the bond allocation, typically 40%, with whole life insurance cash value. In the analysis, doing so kept the overall portfolio close to its $14 million potential. Whole life cash value carries no market volatility, no tax drag, and does not create forced selling during downturns. Combined with a cash flow bridge, a separate liquid position you can draw from when markets are down, this structure prevents paper losses from becoming actual losses. The episode closes with a brief overview of two whole life strategies: the Infinite Banking Concept and the Rockefeller approach, and an open invitation to reach out to Kim directly at hello@prosperitythinkers.com for personalized guidance.

[00:01:49 - 00:03:14] Kim introduces the 60/40 stock-to-bond split and the common assumption that a 12% market return makes a 4% withdrawal risk-free. [00:03:14 - 00:04:47] Kim explains automatic rebalancing: how resetting from 65/35 back to 60/40 creates taxable events and fees every cycle. [00:04:47 - 00:05:52] The triple drag: taxes, fees, and opportunity cost. Every dollar paid out removes its future compounding power permanently. [00:05:52 - 00:06:53] The $2M to $14M to under $1M example. Kim introduces the finding that replacing bonds with whole life cash value recovers the $14M outcome. [00:06:53 - 00:07:31] Todd's verification process: HP 12C and TruthConcepts run in parallel to confirm the result before publication. [00:07:31 - 00:08:12] Who should be looking at this now: 30s, 40s, and 50s. Not 65. Though 65 is not too late. [00:08:12 - 00:09:35] The cash flow bridge: a non-correlated cash position that prevents selling a down portfolio and turning paper losses into actual losses. [00:09:35 - 00:11:12] Spencer's observation: bonds and typical retirement planning both produce slow attrition. Kim names whole life insurance cash value as the alternative vehicle. [00:11:12 - 00:13:41] Two whole life approaches: Infinite Banking (high cash value, low death benefit) vs. Rockefeller method (high death benefit). Kim invites personalized email conversations.

In this Quick Take episode, GradComm CEO Cheryl Broom explores the three major forces reshaping higher education: changing demographics, evolving student expectations, and declining public confidence. With fewer high school graduates entering the pipeline and more colleges competing for those students, institutions must rethink how they attract, engage, and support learners.Cheryl breaks down why the “enrollment cliff” is actually a long-term demographic shift, why adult learners represent a major opportunity for colleges, and why rebuilding trust requires more than talking about affordability and degrees.What You'll Learn:Why the enrollment cliff is really a gradual demographic shiftHow adult learners are changing the higher ed landscapeWhy trust in higher education matters for enrollment successHow colleges can rethink messaging around value and outcomesWhy the student experience is becoming the next competitive advantageThanks for listening!Connect with GradComm:Instagram: @gradcommunicationsFacebook: @GradCommunicationsLinkedIn: @gradcommSend us a message: GradComm.comHigher Ed Conversations is hosted by Cheryl Broom, CEO of GradComm, a marketing and branding agency specializing in community colleges and public education.
In this behind-the-scenes episode, Sharona and Boz take listeners inside the early stages of designing a brand-new (to Sharona) course: a general education quantitative reasoning class she affectionately describes as “Math for Humans.” Using the conversation itself as a form of reflective practice, Sharona and Boz unpack the challenges of building a grading architecture, selecting meaningful assessments, and creating authentic learning experiences for students who may never take another mathematics course. Along the way, they wrestle with broad learning outcomes, project-based assessment, collaborative grading, student agency, and the growing influence of AI on both learning and assessment. The discussion explores difficult questions about what students actually need to know, how educators can balance structure with autonomy, and whether traditional academic skills still make sense in a world where AI tools are readily available. More than a conversation about one course, this episode offers a candid look at the uncertainty, experimentation, and reflection that accompany thoughtful course design and demonstrates why redesigning a course is often less about finding answers than about asking better questions.LinksPlease note - any books linked here are likely Amazon Associates links.

Make Math Moments Problem Based Lessons & Units Description:Many school systems measure success in math education by one thing: math test scores. But what if waiting for scores to improve is actually slowing down meaningful change?Math test scores are often treated as proof that math professional development, initiatives, or instructional changes are working. But the reality is, they're lagging indicators—they tell us what already happened, not what's happening right now. When math leaders focus only on math test scores and outcomes, they risk missing the daily classroom experiences that actually produce those outcomes. Sustainable improvement doesn't come from chasing math test scores. It comes from redesigning the systems, structures, and instructional experiences that shape student learning every day.In this episode, you'll explore:Why math test scores are lagging indicators in math improvementThe difference between activity and actual impactWhat math leaders should measure instead of waiting for outcomesHow classroom experiences shape long-term achievementWhy systems—not individuals—drive resultsWhat it means to “change the change” in math educationIf you're feeling pressure to prove improvement through math test scores alone, this episode will help you rethink what meaningful progress actually looks like—and how to build systems that create lasting change.Show Notes PageLove the show?
