Hannah McCook first hit a golf ball at the age of 6. With the Scottish Highlands as her course, Hannah's talent for the sport soon became clear.In the confusion and chaos of a type 1 diabetes diagnosis at the age of 8, it was thanks to a single sporting type 1 role model, Sir Steve Redgrave, that she realised she didn't have to give up her favourite hobby.Fast forward more than 20 years and Hannah is now an inspiration to many as a professional athlete herself, handling her type 1 diabetes alongside the golf course, a demanding travel schedule, training, coaching and international competitions.In this episode of Type 1 on 1 we tune into some 90s nostalgia around Hannah's diagnosis, chat about why her touring bag is always the heaviest, chasing impossible perfection in both her sport and her health, and why, despite travelling the world with her sport, nowhere can compete with her beloved Nethy Bridge.CONNECT WITH HANNAH Follow Hannah on Instagram.Check out her coaching page.Take a look at Hannah's website.JOIN THE TYPE 1 ON 1 INSTAGRAM COMMUNITY Come and say hi @studiotype1on1 on Instagram.SPONSOR MESSAGE This episode of Type 1 on 1 is sponsored by Insulet, the makers of Omnipod tube-free insulin pump therapy.Using Omnipod 5 Automated Insulin Delivery has improved my diabetes management significantly with less diabetes decisions, and of course no multiple daily injections.

Killing retired racing greyhounds is now banned - after Parliament's unanimously passed a law - in less than two hours. The Bill - read under urgency - will protect nearly three-thousand dogs needing re-homing, as the Government shutters the industry. A rapid-fire string of speeches included many addresses from MPs on their own pet dogs. That includes Labour MP and former racing minister Kieran McAnulty. He adopted a greyhound - and is urging Kiwis to do the same. He says greyhounds are the most gentle, loving and caring animal anyone could imagine - and the best pet you could hope for.

Alright, let's get real. Have you ever felt like you're kinda stuck in an old version of yourself? Like you've outgrown those clothes that used to fit so well? That was me with my old brand, "Austin Food Guide." It was comfy, familiar, but it just didn't feel right anymore. Is Your Brand a Reflection of Who You Are Today? In this episode of The Savory Shot, we're diving deep into my rebranding journey. It wasn't just about changing a logo or a website; it was about shedding old skin and stepping into who I am now. It took over a year of wrestling with doubts, fears, and a whole lotta attachment to the past. What You'll Learn in This Episode We'll talk about the messy, beautiful process of getting honest with myself, finding mentors who pushed me to dream bigger, and learning to speak up for my own vision. If you've ever hesitated to say what you really want, or you're scared to invest in your dreams, this episode is for you. Take the Leap Rebranding isn't just for businesses; it's for anyone who's ready to grow. So if you're feeling that nudge to evolve, to step into a truer version of yourself, come join me on this journey. Let's let go of what's holding us back and embrace the incredible possibilities that lie ahead. Remember, you've got this! When it's time to grow, it's time to let go. Trust the process, own your voice, and remember—you've got this.

Abbie Chase is a junior at McCook Central High School and is serving as the chapter's Vice-President of Building Community.  Abbie is also a very determined bee keeper, which you will figure out when you hear her story, and she is growing the number of hives she keeps as quickly as she can.   This was a very interesting interview for me because it incorporated a story of a severe weather phenomena that I have never experienced.  Abbie did experience this, and it really changed her outlook on the service component of being in the FFA.  It also impacted her personally because of the impact that it had on her bee hives at the time when it occurred.  So, in today's episode not only is there a great story of an outstanding FFA student, but there is a great weather story that leads right into perseverance in agriculture!  

How about when someone student teaches in a town and then moves back because the town is so awesome!?? Well, that is pretty the story of this past coach.

Have you ever wished you could just ask an expert, “how the heck do I do this…in simple terms?”  That's exactly what I thought as I was planning out 2024 content for The Found Podcast. Why not give entrepreneurs and small business owners an opportunity to ask real questions in real time and get real answers that matter to them?   In this new format called “Coaching Calls,” small business owners and entrepreneurs are given an opportunity to submit one question they would like to ask me about marketing, business growth, personal development, or anything that we touch on here at The Found Podcast.   When I saw the first submission come in from this friend of the pod, I was so excited! And I knew we had to have her on, not just because she's amazing and her business is so impressive, but also because her question is so relatable and probably on your mind too:    “Molly should I add TikTok in 2024 to my marketing tool kit?”    Why to Add TikTok in ‘24 Now, my friend this is a very layered question, and as I go into with Alix, it's not as simple as just starting an account and saying “Hey, follow me now!”    I highly recommend that anytime you add a platform to your marketing toolkit you make sure  A: that it is aligned with your ideal audience  B: that you have the time to dedicate to the learning and the growth it's going to take to get started on the platform  C: that you develop a long-term and short-term plan for how this new platform will serve your business   In 2024, I do think that TikTok offers a great opportunity for business owners who are product based and are direct to consumer, but I do think there are a few other items to consider before diving into TikTok for business.    For example you'll hear me talk with Alix about developing a serial approach to your TikTok videos so there are multiple videos produced in a similar style. You'll also hear me advising Alex on growth strategies and understanding which accounts are already connecting with her ideal client and how she can use some of those accounts to inspire her creativity or guide her content as she grows for her business.   If you are asking yourself: “Should I add TikTok to my business marketing?” go ahead and tune into this coaching call, my friend.   It's a 20 minute conversation that will really help you as you consider adding a platform to your marketing repertoire in the new year.   A little more about our guest today… Alix and I got to know each other in 2021 when she enrolled in the first iteration of MKM Social School, and over the past few years I've gotten to know her and her business a little better.   Alix and her husband live in McCook, Nebraska, where together they raise three boys and own and operate Sehnert's Bakery & Bieroc Cafe, a 500-year-old business that originated in Germany.    You can here more of her business' evolution and her founder story in Episode 77 of The Found Podcast (which was called Small-Minded when we originally recorded this interview in 2022). Learn more about Sehnert's Bakery Give Sehnert's a follow over on Instagram and Facebook and head to their website to get in contact!

Hadley Steifvater is an American Star Finalist in the category of Agriscience Research.  She has grow up around her father's veterinary practice, raising livestock of her own and also helping to solve problems in the production agriculture world in her region of South Dakota. Hadley was homeschooled for the entirety of her primary school career, and her pathway into the FFA and agriscience research are a bit different than normal.  Hadley was actually recruited by the FFA Advisor for McCook Central High School, Terry Reickman, as her father had been the FFA and Terry had been his advisor too.  This recruitment took place her 7th Grade year, but it was not until 8th Grade that her parents allowed it. In the first year, another of Hadley's FFA Advisors, Tracy Chase, encouraged her to do an agriscience research project.  Hadley went on to win both state and national awards with that project in just the 8th Grade!  This set her on a course of seeking research projects, and soon she was researching the best methods of farrowing pigs and caring for newly born pigs on behalf of her father and for one of his customers. This led to Hadley researching block chains in the beef industry and assessing whether or not the origins of a steak could be traced back to the farm the calf was born on - a topic of particular interest to me. Hadley is now at South Dakota State University, majoring in Animal Science, and she is looking at a future career in the veterinary field as either a veterinary nurse or veterinarian.  

According to food photographer Mica McCook, the secret sauce is more than simply visual appeal, it's connecting to how the images make you feel. As McCook likes to say, she creates cravings, one photo at a time.  McCook's photos are dramatic like telenovelas, embracing the magic of a chef's palate, and delighting in the vibrant flavors that bring dishes to life. Her approach is theatrical and bold, akin to setting the stage for a grand performance. Each element, from the decadent chocolate drizzle to the vibrant pop of a fresh herb, contributes to the culinary drama. For McCook, food is not just about sustenance, it's an experience.  In a world where fast food and quick meals are often the norm, McCook is here to remind us of the richness and pleasure of a well-composed dish, and to celebrate the chefs who create, the farmers who cultivate, and the diners who savor. As an extension of her photography business, McCook launched her biweekly podcast, The Savory Shot, in June 2022, because she is perpetually curious about the food industry and those who dwell within it.   Listen in to hear how a life-altering trip to the Reading Terminal Market, in Pennsylvania, laid the groundwork for McCook's career transition from people to food, and even inspired her unique business name of Austin Food Guide. We also discuss how her background in theater influences her flavorful photographic approach, the dramatic lighting she favors, as well as her collaborative, community-oriented outlook. McCook was recently accepted into an innovative mentorship program for BIPOC photographers led by Apostrophe Reps. Don't miss the juicy details about how to apply!

Grace DiGiovanni is a 2022 National Proficiency Winner in the category of Service Learning.  With a title like that, you know that she had done something significant to help out her community, but after doing a complete interview with her it was obvious that she is wired to help her fellow human. Grace is currently attending college at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska.  She has her eyes set on medical school and oncology. She has a scientific and inquisitive brain, and all of us are blessed that people like Grace exist.  She has a desire to work on the macro and micro in oncology in her career.  On the micro level she sees herself helping individual patients through oncological surgery to address their specific needs.  On the macro she sees herself studying the tumors that she has just removed for the betterment of all of society! Of course, this is no surprise when you learn what Grace's SAE was.  She saw that the food that was being included in a local backpack food program was not very nutrient dense or healthy.  So, she obtained a grant, community volunteers and donations from the community to change this.  Ultimately she wound up taking over the entire program and leaving a legacy in her community.  And, during all of this she obtained over 80 college credits through dual credit courses.  That number is a new record of college credits obtained in high school on the Off-Farm Income Podcast!

This week, in McCook, Nebraska, a couple goes missing, with the family suspecting foul play, but they never suspect just how, or why any of this has happened. Turns out, jealously, anger, threesomes, throuples, and sexually explicit graffiti caused it. Also, it just shows how you can never tell what freaky & wild things are happening, behind closed doors, in what seem to be extremely normal & square households. And what untold horrors can happen there, including some of the most hideous body disposal, ever!A twisted tale, where no one seems to do whatever the normal thing to do is!! Along the way, we find out that sometimes people who have nothing to do with anything get murdered, that female body parts may  more buoyant than male body parts, and that throuples are just as unhappy as any couple!! Hosted by James Pietragallo & Jimmie Whisman New episodes every Thursday! Donate at: patreon.com/crimeinsports or go to paypal.com & use our email: crimeinsports@gmail.com Go to shutupandgivememurder.com for all things Small Town Murder & Crime In Sports! Follow us on...twitter.com/@murdersmallfacebook.com/smalltownpodinstagram.com/smalltownmurder Also, check out James & Jimmie's other show, Crime In Sports!
