Agriculture has always been an influential contributor to Watauga County's economic performance. In its 2024 statistics report, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture reported $13.85 million in cash receipts generated by Watauga County farms, with an additional $5 million in economic impact coming from Watauga County Christmas Tree growers. The business of farming has changed a great deal over the decades. Now agritourism is counted on to keep many of these multi-generation family-farms producing.On this week's Mind Your Business, we discuss the state of the agriculture community in Watauga County with Gray Shipley of Shipley Farms Beef. We'll hear some history about production in the area as well as how changing market realities have caused farms to focus more on providing experiences rather than high-volume yields. In the spirit of the emergence of warmer weather, we'll also hear from several local business owners about what they are most looking forward to this summer. We also provide an update on a key economic development project aimed at providing broadband connectivity in hard to reach places.Mind Your Business is a weekly production of the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce.

In this week's episode, both of our storytellers explore what happens when belief systems collide—and how science and empathy can help bridge the divide. Part 1: Neuroscientist Lauren Vetere is excited to see if real life will mimic science at an interfaith event. Part 2: Growing up as a devout Jew, Fred Gould's relationship with God is shaken by existential philosophy and science. Lauren Vetere is a neuroscientist, writer, and science communicator based in NYC. She recently received her PhD in Neuroscience from Mount Sinai, where she studied how different parts of the brain communicate to make memories, and how that communication is disrupted in epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease. Outside of the lab, she works to make science accessible through writing, community outreach, and art. Lauren serves as a council member and blog writer for BraiNY, a NYC-based neuroscience outreach group. In 2023, she co-created the winning science-inspired short film for Symbiosis, a competition where scientists and filmmakers are paired to make short films in one week. She then returned as the coordinator for the 2024 Symbiosis competition. In her free time, you can find Lauren writing, baking, or listening to sci-fi and fantasy audiobooks in central park. Fred Gould graduated from Jamaica HS in NYC and received his BS in biology from Queens College of the City University of New York. He went on to a PhD program in ecology and evolutionary biology at the State University of NY at Stony Brook. He moved to North Carolina for a postdoc and then a job on the faculty of NC State University. Gould is now the executive director of the NC State Genetics and Genomics Academy and is co-director of the Genetic Engineering and Society Center. He conducts research on the application of evolutionary biology and population genetics to enable sustainable use of insect resistant crops and genetically engineered agricultural pests. He also does research aimed at development of strategies for engineering insect vectors of human pathogens to decrease disease. Most of Gould's current teaching focuses on technical and societal issues related to genomics and genetic engineering. He also teaches lectures within a course on Darwinism and Christianity. Gould is a fellow of the Entomological Society of America and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 2011, he was elected to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences.

Season 24 Episode #73 Bobby Schindler and Shaun J BoyceThis episode with Eddie Gonzalez delves into his career and experiences as the director and chief business officer of the Atlanta Open, reflecting on his love for tennis and the tournament's growth. A few key points include his leadership journey, his passion for building the event over 10 years, and the challenges involved in running a high-level ATP Tour event.Summary:- **Eddie's Background**: Eddie grew up in Rome, Georgia, played high-level junior tennis, and competed for NC State University. His career in sports started at Athlon Sports before he returned to tennis, leading the Atlanta Open for a decade.- **Career Highlights**: Eddie discussed how he elevated the Atlanta Open, making it an annual sports and entertainment event, bringing in crowds and enhancing the experience for fans. One of his proudest achievements was building the event from a temporary parking lot to a "party where a tennis match breaks out." - **Challenges**: Eddie highlighted the difficulties of hosting an outdoor event in the summer heat and dealing with unpredictable weather. For instance, the 2023 finals didn't conclude until 3 a.m. due to rain delays. Despite these challenges, the event maintained strong attendance.- **Impact on American Tennis**: Eddie is proud of the Atlanta Open's role in giving rising American players like Taylor Fritz, Francis Tiafoe, and Christopher Eubanks their first big opportunities. He also emphasized the importance of fostering local tennis talent and creating future champions.- **Legacy**: As the ATP's calendar restructuring led to the discontinuation of the Atlanta Open, Eddie expressed pride in leaving behind a successful, well-loved event, even though it was a casualty of the tour's evolution.- **Personal Life**: Eddie shared personal insights, such as his daughter's career as a social media influencer and his son being drafted into professional baseball. He enjoys supporting their careers and traveling with them.Notable Quotes from Eddie Gonzalez:1. **On building the Atlanta Open**: - "You want to leave things better than you found them, and I'm very proud of the 10 years of building it every year to be bigger and better."2. **On the tournament experience**: - "Our philosophy was to create a party where a tennis match breaks out. We knew we weren't going to get Federer, Nadal, or Djokovic, so we had to make it about the experience."3. **On aging and tennis**: - "You don't stop playing tennis because you get old, you get old because you stop playing tennis."4. **On fostering young American talent**: - "It's rewarding to see young Americans like Taylor Fritz and Chris Eubanks who got their first shots in Atlanta. That's the future of American tennis."5. **On maintaining composure**: - "We ran the tournament like ducks on a pond: calm on the surface but paddling furiously underneath."These highlights and quotes encapsulate Eddie's passion for tennis, leadership, and making a lasting impact on the sport in America.YouTube Replay: https://youtu.be/XVLUhdrlE8wShaun Boyce USPTA: shaun@tennisforchildren.comhttps://tennisforchildren.com/

Water is a natural resource all of us rely on, but there's a lot of thought and work that goes into being able to turn on your tap. How do we make sure water is accessible to everyone? Who does a water source belong to? And why is getting water out West so complicated?This month, hosts Alysha and Todd are joined by Dr. Ben Rachunok, an assistant professor at the Edward P. Fitts Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering at NC State University. Rachunok studies how communities evaluate and respond to water rights, climate risk and natural hazards.

It was during this time that she realized she enjoyed helping businesses grow and decided to further her education at the University of South Carolina School of Law, receiving JD/MBA dual degrees to set her up to do just that. After grad school, she moved to DC for a few years and was eventually called home to help the then budding business of Optimal Bio. She worked to create processes, organize the business and ultimately make life easier for the staff, vendors and most importantly the patients. It didn't take her long to realize that running this business was her passion. Since becoming CEO in 2018, she has expanded Optimal Bio to eight locations across the Southeast, doubled patient count and continues to work closely with future and existing patients to help them achieve healthier and more balanced lives.
