Podcast appearances and mentions of Neil Smith

What if the prescription for better health started in the soil—not the pharmacy?In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Nasha Winters sits down with Neil Smith, regenerative agriculture advisor, farmer, and co-founder of the Grow blockchain project (kohima.io). With decades of hands-on experience and a mission rooted in abundance, Neil is helping farmers—and communities—redefine what it means to heal, from the land up.From soil remediation to landscape restoration, and from decentralized systems to local food sovereignty, Neil shares how Web3 technologies are creating new opportunities for farmers to reclaim their data, their profits, and their purpose. It's a conversation about systems thinking, global health, and why healthy soil is the most overlooked cornerstone of public wellness.

In June, we were honoured to have Pastor Neil Smith from Planetshakers Australia join us as he brought us an incredible message - titled 'Don't settle' catch up on this amazing sermon here.

Derek Bell tells Paul Tarsey about the time he drove the glorious Harrods-liveried McLaren at Le Mans with his son Justin and Jaguar winner Andy Wallace. Continuing our Le Mans theme, Robin Donovan chats to Paul Jurd about his days in a variety of C2 machines before hitting the big time racing a Kremer Porsche 962/K8 to fourth place with Derek Bell and Jurgen Lassig. Mark Raffauf is in conversation with Jim Roller about the turbulent but hugely exciting, years of sportscar racing in the USA in the 1990s under his IMSA organisation. Our studio guest is Neil Smith who digs deep into the history of TWR and those wonderful Silk Cut Jaguars.

The Group C and IMSA GTP era of sports car racing was truly a golden age, and few teams reached the level of success and admiration as Tom Walkinshaw Racing, whose factory Jaguar programs took on the very best on both sides of the Atlantic. For the first time, the whole history of this iconic team has been told, with author Neil Smith going beyond race results and car specifications to uncover the fascinating stories, anecdotes, and intrigue from those who were there. On the Prowl - The Definitive History of the Walkinshaw Jaguar Sports Car Team is out now, so we interviewed the author, Neil Smith, about how he went about compiling this impressive book.

Ed didn't experience an NHL 3-0 comeback + Neil Smith of NHL Wraparound Podcast by Ed Lane

Their earliest years were, frankly, like those of many expansion teams. A team comprised of marginal talent as part of the 1972 Expansion Draft and the first-year record certainly reflected that. While the second season saw only slight improvement in the standings, it was the promise of a first overall pick who went on to win the Calder Trophy that laid the foundation of what was ahead.The third season saw a surprising playoff berth, a stunning opening round win over the veteran team from New York City and an historic comeback against Pittsburgh.Then, reality.While the team continued an upward trajectory, the playoff results got increasingly difficult over the course of the next four springs. Finally, in 1980, it came together. A strong core was bolstered in March by the arrival of a college defenseman fresh from winning Olympic gold and a veteran forward who became the final piece of the puzzle.From there, they made history - some of which may never be seen again in the NHL.Join the hosts as they go back 45 years with Captain Denis Potvin, left wing John Tonelli and defenseman Ken Morrow.This is Doormat to Dynasty.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00] - Open voiced by long-time Islanders play-by-play man Jiggs McDonald with Islanders theme underneath from organist Paul Cartier. [01:25] - Welcome and after Vic and Neil do some initial reminiscing about Bob Nystrom's Cup clinching goal, guests Denis Potvin, John Tonelli and Ken Morrow are welcomed.[05:00] - 45 years later, the guest share their recollections on the Nystrom goal.[10:09] - The approach to 1980 following increasingly difficult playoff losses after the 1975 Cinderella run. Discussion includes the final pieces coming into place with Ken Morrow arrival fresh off a gold medal at the Olympics and Butch Goring proving to be the missing link coming in a trade from Los Angeles.[16:15] - The road the first championship begins, including the brutal second round series against the Boston Bruins and some hijinks during the semi-final with Buffalo.[32:25] - The Final against rival Flyers begins with some sidebar stories about the toughness of the Broad Street Bullies.[52:10] - With a 3-1 series lead, the Isles drop Game 5 and return to Nassau Coliseum for the potential clincher. After letting a 4-2 third period lead get away, the stage is set for overtime. [1:02:14] - Vivid descriptions of the celebration after the Islanders first-ever Stanley Cup-winning goal. [1:10:51] - 1981 and the first defense of the Cup. The team doesn't miss a beat...even with Neil Smith joining the organization. Among the stories is Denis sharing the emotional piece of his brother Jean being traded away before being re-acquired.[1:17:09] - After an opening round scare, the Isles roll to their third Cup with the Final over Vancouver featuring a spectacular goal in Game 3 by Conn Smythe winner Mike Bossy,[1:23:24] - In pursuit of the fourth Cup, the club drops a bit during the regular season but is more than ready for an upstart team from Edmonton with a phenom wearing #99. In the end, the challengers learn some valuable lessons from the defending champs.[1:33:49] - Going after the Canadiens record of five straight Stanley Cups, the Isles discover their opponent learned well from the previous spring. However, to this day, the guests are still rankled by a change in scheduling during the Final.[1:43:50]- With the dynasty at an end, the perspective and significance of its place in league history becomes more evident with time.[1:54:05] - A final personal question to Ken, John and Denis.X: https://twitter.com/NHLWraparoundNeil Smith: https://twitter.com/NYCNeilVic Morren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vic-morren-7038737/NHL Wraparound Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nhlwraparound/#NHLWraparound #ShortShifts...

So much for a different result in Toronto. In a season where strides were made in winning a division title and getting out of the first round, dreadful performances at home in Games five and seven against the defending champion Panthers became their undoing.Now, let the questions begin. What happens at the top of the managerial food chain? What happens to the "Core Four?" One thing is for certain: It will not be a boring summer in Canada's hottest hockey hotbed.This Day in Stanley Cup History looks back at the first expansion team to win the Cup, a double OT winner that elated Neil Smith and a Game 7 overtime clincher with two legends Russian legends picking up assists in the winning goal.X: https://twitter.com/NHLWraparoundNeil Smith: https://twitter.com/NYCNeilVic Morren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vic-morren-7038737/NHL Wraparound Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nhlwraparound/#NHLWraparound #ShortShifts #NYCentric #StanleyCupdate #NeilSmith #VicMorren #NHL #AnaheimDucks # #BostonBruins #BuffaloSabres #CalgaryFlames #CarolinaHurricanes #ChicagoBlackhawks #ColoradoAvalanche #ColumbusBlueJackets #DallasStars #DetroitRedWings #EdmontonOilers #FloridaPanthers #LosAngelesKings #MinnesotaWild #MontrealCanadiens #NashvillePredators #NewJerseyDevils #NewYorkIslanders #NewYorkRangers #OttawaSenators #PhiladelphiaFlyers #PittsburghPenguins #StLouisBlues #SanJoseSharks #SeattleKraken #TampaBayLightning #TorontoMapleLeafs #UtahMammoth #VancouverCanucks #VegasGoldenKnights #WashingtonCapitals #WinnipegJets #MatthewTkachuk #EvanRodrigues #WilliamNylander #MaxPacioretty #ScottLaughton #BobbyMcMann #StevenLorentz #AustonMatthews #SergeiBobrovsky #ChrisRooney #GarrettRank #NikoMikkola #BradMarchand #SethJones #BrandonCarlo #JosephWoll #AleksanderBarkov #JonahGadjovich #DaveJackson #ESPN #AaronEkblad #CraigBerube #SamBennett #CarterVerhaeghe #BillZito #MaxDomi #EetuLuostarinen #SamReinhart #PaulMaurice #PeterDeBoer #MitchMarner #BrendanShanahan #BradTreliving #SheldonKeefe #JohnTavares #KyleDubas #DonPardo #AlexTrebek #RickMacLeish #MooseDupont #BernieParent #StephaneMatteau #WadeFlaherty #RayWhitney #SergeiMakarov #IgorLarionov #VladimirKrutov #KLMLine #CraigButton #TSN #NHLonTNT

There is an expectation which comes with watching professional athletes that - both men and women - are often looked at to perform with robotic efficiency. As we all know, it doesn't exactly work that way.In the opening round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Winnipeg goaltender Connor Hellebuyck fought the St. Louis Blues, fought the puck and fought himself for two weeks. A mental thing.In other instances, a decision in an eyeblink on the ice or one coming from behind the bench can flip the fortunes of a team.The common denominator: It's all human.Neil Smith: https://twitter.com/NYCNeilVic Morren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vic-morren-7038737/NHL Wraparound Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nhlwraparound/#NHLWraparound #ShortShifts #NYCentric #StanleyCupdate #NeilSmith #VicMorren #NHL #ConnorHellebuyck #ScottArniel #WinnipegJets #JordanBinnington #St.LouisBlues #FourNationsFaceoff #QuintonByfield #LosAngelesKings #EvanBouchard #EdmontonOilers #PavelBuchnevich #ColePerfetti #JimHiller #StephaneMatteau #EsaTikkanen #MartinBrodeur #NewYorkRangers #BrianBoucher #EdOlczyk #EricComrie

After forty years and many memorable calls, one stands out for Sam Rosen. Born in Ulm, Germany, he was an aspiring baseball player before focusing his attention on broadcasting.

However, from the time Neil Smith first met Sam, he's always been just one of the guys.X: https://twitter.com/NHLWraparoundNeil Smith: https://twitter.com/NYCNeilVic Morren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vic-morren-7038737/NHL Wraparound Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nhlwraparound/#NHLWraparound #ShortShifts #NYCentric #NeilSmith #VicMorren #NHL#SamRosen #JohnHalligan #HowieRose #TheCurse #StanleyCup #NewYorkRangers #DetroitRedWings #NewYorkIslanders.

In a team setting, having each member focused on the same goal is imperative. Similar to the every day workplace, not every individual is going to like or get along with the person next to them. However, unlike most businesses, professional sports is very public and when internal tension between athletes moves beyond the confines the team, the optic isn't a good one.Having served as an NHL general manager for a decade, Neil Smith has seen it all. From his perspective, there is clearly a right way and wrong way to deal with strife from within.Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgBj1LV0-DMfBhcRPSJZLjAX: https://twitter.com/NHLWraparoundNeil Smith: https://twitter.com/NYCNeilVic Morren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vic-morren-7038737/NHL Wraparound Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nhlwraparound/#NHLWraparound #ShortShifts #NYCentric #NeilSmith #VicMorren #NHL #JTMiller #EliasPettersson #VancouverCanucks #NewYorkRangers #ChrisKreider #JacobTrouba #BarclayGoodrow #BradMarchand #DavidPastrnak #DonSweeney #JoeSacco #CamNeely #JimRutherford #PatrikAllvin

Neil Smith, like many kids, got his love of motorsport from his father. His passion for the sport was fueled by weekends spectating at English race tracks and watching the Formula 1 on the TV. But it was sports car racing that really caught his imagination, initially with Group C and later, after a move to the USA, with IMSA. Trips to the Le Mans 24 Hours added to the experience, and in the 2000s his hobby of writing a blog about racing turned into actual reporting on the American Le Mans Series and Grand Am for the predecessor of SportsCar365.com. After building a career in the tech industry, Neil returned to writing in 2018, beginning work on his debut book titled On The Prowl: The Definitive History of the Walkinshaw Jaguar Sports Car Team uncovering the fascinating stories, anecdotes, and intrigue from those who were there. His book is published by our friends at David Bull Publishing.

Read: Matthew 5: 14-16 | Proverbs 23:7 | John 7:22 | 2 Timothy 2 As we continue to dive deeper into our walk with God we realize that Church is not a hiding place but a rallying place to get fired up for the next mission Our only objective in life  is that people discover Jesus so how we represent Him is going to be more effective out in the world that inside the walls of the church. In order to complete this mission we have to stand on the truth that we are both kings in ruling but also kings in waiting, so as we are expectant to God to take us to that “next big thing” we can still influence the atmosphere of where we are at.  Here are some things to think about as we continue to reflect the light of Christ:  1 Sometimes our lack of promotion is just a season of preparation.  2 To bring glory means to excel in whatever it is we do and that excellence will speak to people. 3 We have to be overt and covert at the same time.  It's our mandate to change this city and to change this country for the Lord. A city on a hill cannot be hidden the word says, which means that if each of us collectively shine the light that has been given us, together we make a massive impact on the darkness that surrounds us. We often feel ineffective because we are isolated but look around you and see that you have been placed in a body that is running this race alongside you!  Application - Where are you positioned: a job, your family, your friends. How can you begin to bring that unique light into their lives? Prayer - Father help me reflect the light of Jesus on to those around me. I pray that I will excel in all the skills you have given me and in that process that I will bring you utmost glory. Help me see this season of preparation as the training grounds for what you have in store for the future! In Jesus Name!
