Podcasts about oak trees

Why do we call an elephant an elephant? Why did the narwhal become known as the "unicorn of the sea"? How did the praying mantis help to inspire kung fu in ancient China? And what can the names we give to animals tell us about ourselves as people? In this episode of Nature Breaking, host Seth Larson sits down with bestselling author, conservationist, and WWF board member T.A. Barron to discuss his new book, Naming Nature. Drawing on languages, folklore, mythology, and cultural traditions from around the world, the book explores the fascinating stories behind the names of plants, animals, and landscapes—and what those names reveal about humanity's relationship with the natural world. Tune in to hear how an oak tree near Oxford, England helped inspire T.A.'s passion for writing, how he developed the concept for Naming Nature, and how a run-in with a former NFL quarterback prompted him to reflect on what really matters in life.

A neighbor decided a healthy, 89-year-old oak tree was "in the way" of his shed, so he trespassed onto another person's property and cut it down without asking. Then, in an act of absolute audacity, he had the nerve to demand they pay half the cost of the cutting! What followed was an epic, two-year war of attrition through the legal system. In this episode of Karma Stories, we're unpacking a brutal lesson in tree law that proves some neighbors will go to any length to avoid admitting they were wrong. You won't believe how this two-year saga finally ended.

Eric Collins is a California entrepreneur, tax strategist, and business owner who has built and sold companies while navigating major physical adversity, including breaking his neck in five places and surviving multiple spinal fusions.In this episode, he and Ned go deep into discipline, certainty, emotional stability, fatherhood, business ownership, marriage, and the kind of intentional leadership most men want but rarely see modeled clearly. Eric shares practical systems he's built into his home life — from making breakfast for his sons every morning for nearly a decade to helping lead an 80-man “Dad's Club” at his sons' school that has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for families and students.This is one of those conversations that quietly sneaks up on you. It starts with stories about fishing trips, school fundraisers, and parenting struggles, but underneath it is a serious conversation about becoming the kind of man your family can trust.Eric talks openly about growing up around abuse, wrestling through ego and unhealthy habits, learning to control his reactions, and realizing that discipline without emotional connection was damaging his relationship with his son. Rather than doubling down in pride, he humbled himself, sought wisdom, and changed course.Fathers will walk away from this episode challenged to think differently about leadership in the home. Eric's idea that a father should be “the oak tree, not the thundercloud” is one of the strongest themes in the conversation. He explains why certainty and consistency matter so deeply to children, how routines create emotional safety, and why many men unintentionally sabotage the very outcomes they want most. There's also a powerful discussion around mentorship, growth-mindedness, replacing destructive habits with healthier pursuits, and learning to accept feedback from your wife without defensiveness.A few standout takeaways from the episode:Your children need certainty more than perfection.Discipline without relationship eventually creates distance.Men need community and purposeful involvement outside of work.Most growth comes through pain, humility, and repeated course correction.You become a better father by intentionally becoming a better man.---------Check Out the Program Talked About: Genesis by Rise Up KingsThis episode is sponsored by Genesis - a Rite of Passage by Rise Up KingsOrder The Adventure of Fatherhood children's book hereCheck out the TEDx----------Want to learn more about The Adventure of Fatherhood?www.adventureoffatherhood.comwww.rebelandcreate.comEach week Ned sits down with a dad and asks him to open up his field notes and share with other men who find themselves on the Adventure of Fatherhood.

What if the next level of leadership isn't about controlling more — but trusting yourself more deeply? In this episode of Heart Glow CEO®, we turn the lens inward and explore self-trust as the root system of steady, conscious leadership. Not the fluffy “just believe in yourself” kind, but the grounded, practical self-trust you can lean on when a decision feels weighty, a conversation gets uncomfortable, your body is giving you a signal, or everyone around you has an opinion about what you should do next. If you tend to overthink, over-function, soften your truth, say yes too quickly, or carry more than your share to keep things comfortable, this episode will feel like a deep exhale. Together, we'll look at what it means to become the stable oak tree — rooted in your values, guided by intuition, and less available to be pulled off-center by external circumstances, old roles, or other people's weather. In this Heart Glow CEO® episode, you'll learn: Why self-trust is the root system of clear, courageous leadership How security, intuition, and heart-centered alignment help you stop overriding yourself A grounded way to come back to what you can actually control when leadership, relationships, decisions, or external circumstances feel loud This is an invitation to stop making your body pay the price for decisions your deeper wisdom already knows are out of alignment. Because real leadership doesn't begin with managing the storm. It begins with deepening the roots that help you stay steady through it. About Kc Kc Rossi, PCC, is an Integrative Leadership Coach and host of Heart Glow CEO®. She helps mission-driven entrepreneurs and executives regulate stress, strengthen self-trust, and lead with clearer decisions, cleaner communication, and embodied authority — without burning out or overriding themselves. Her work blends emotional intelligence, nervous-system wisdom, and heart-brain coherence practices to support sustainable success from the inside out.

Send us Fan MailPrivate credit is the crisis everyone's watching, but the real story -- and the one no one has been focused on -- is what private equity is doing behind the scenes.In Part 1 of our 3-part series, Kristen and Jen break down the $30 billion leveraged buyout of Caesars by Apollo and TPG, the deal that became the blueprint for what we now call "creditor-on-creditor violence" and flipped everything everyone thought they knew about the relationship between debt and equity investors on its head.This also happens to be the ultimate Private Equity & LBO deep dive as we start with the basics: what an LBO actually is, how it works, why private equity firms started to do club deals back in 2006/7 (hint...size) and how capital structures work at a high level.From there, Jen and Kristen walk through the actual structure of the Caesars deal — $6B in equity from Apollo, TPG, and 30+ co-investors (everyone from Goldman Sachs to the Michael J. Fox Foundation to Bob Kraft), $7B in bank loans, $6B in bridge-to-high-yield bonds, and $6.5B in commercial mortgage-backed securities sitting at the PropCo level. They explain what an OpCo/PropCo mean in laymen's terms, why it let Apollo juice leverage, why club deals fell out of favor in favor of co-invest structures, and how today's mega-LBOs (Electronic Arts, the Ellison family's Warner Bros. Discovery play) stack up against what was historic in 2007.This series is based on The Caesars Palace Coup by Sujeet Indap and Max Frumes — not sponsored, just genuinely one of the best case studies out there on LBOs and distressed debt investing. Stay tuned for Part 2, where Jen and Kristen get into everything that went wrong, the asset-transfer shenanigans, and the birth of creditor-on-creditor violence and how Britney Spears was the linchpin that kept it all together...until it all unraveled with the biggest names in investing, Apaloosa, Eliott, Oak Tree, Oak Hill, Paulson and more got in the ring. In Part 3, we sit down with Sujeet Indap of the Financial Times to talk about what the Caesars deal means for the private credit market today, and what exactly is going on with Caesars who is back in the news with Carl Icahn and billionaire Tilman Fertitta out with competing offers.For a 14 day FREE Trial of Macabacus, click HEREShop our Self Paced Courses:Investment Banking & Private Equity Fundamentals HEREFixed Income Sales & Trading HEREWealthfront.com/wss.

Continuing from the beginning-ending place of the Winter Solstice, the second part of our mythic weaving comes again from 2016, a piece invoked for a Bard of Bath soiree. Re-recorded in the newness of 2026 as I sat by the hearth fire while the frost twinkled in the full moon's light, and the stars sang of magicks…

In this episode of the Landlord Chick Podcast, Corina Eufinger is diving into the messy, emotional, and flat-out "sketchy" side of real estate investing. We're taking the viral "Am I The Asshole?" format and applying it to the wildest backyard battles you've ever heard of.What do you do when a tenant turns your investment into a feral cat sanctuary? Or when a "Memorial Oak Tree" is planted right over your main sewer line? And let's not forget the "Backyard Architecture"—aka sketchy DIY forts!We'll laugh, question people's decision-making skills, and call out a landlord for being well...an asshole.

What if planting trees could be not just good for the planet, but also a profitable business? In this episode, I'm talking with Ben Dell, the founder and CEO of Chestnut Carbon — a company that's raised nearly $400 million, including $250 million of that in 2025, to turn farmland back into thriving native forests across the United States. And he's already forging major carbon removal deals with the likes of Microsoft and Mercedes F1. Ben's journey is a fascinating one: he began his career in oil and gas private equity, helping fossil-fuel companies optimize their operations. But during the pandemic, he had what you might call a carbon epiphany. Seeing how few trustworthy carbon-removal projects existed, he decided to create his own — one that would make measurable, verifiable, and permanent carbon storage not just possible, but investable. In our conversation, Ben explains why carbon is a commodity, and how to prove you've really stored it. He talks about how Chestnut buys up marginal cattle-grazed land and restores it into biodiverse forests — with already more than 17 million trees planted. And he goes over why he proudly calls Chestnut "conservation for profit" — a business model that needs no subsidies, just land, good science, and a lot of patience. Ben also talks about the challenges of scaling a nature-based startup, the importance of grit over glamour, and why he believes restoring forests can be one of America's most investable climate solutions. So if you've ever wondered how capitalism might actually reverse deforestation — not cause it — this episode will give you a hopeful, grounded look at what that future could look like. Discussed in this episode Ben is a managing partner at Kimmeridge. Business Insider profile and a Wall Street Journal profile on Ben's work. Our past episode with author Mike Grunwald. You can see Chestnut's patent, "Systems and methods for forest surveying," here. Chestnut's offtake partnership with Microsoft and a similar agreement with Mercedes F1. Ben recommends podcasts such as Lex Fridman's and Invest Like the Best. Get to Know Ben Dell Ben Dell is a Managing Partner of Kimmeridge and oversees investment activity across the firm. He is closely involved in the screening of new geological opportunities and in the negotiation and execution of investment strategies.  Prior to founding Kimmeridge, Mr. Dell was a Senior Equity Research Analyst for Oil and Gas Exploration and Production (E&P) at Sanford C. Bernstein, where he was ranked first three times in the Institutional Investor Research Survey for coverage of E&Ps. Mr. Dell was also ranked for Natural Gas and for Oil Services and Equipment coverage. Mr. Dell joined Sanford C. Bernstein in 2003. Prior to joining Bernstein, Mr. Dell was employed at British Petroleum (BP) in its M&A and finance group. Before moving into the finance field, Mr. Dell also held positions as an exploration geologist and geophysicist across several of BP's regional business units.  Mr. Dell is currently CEO of Chestnut Carbon, a nature-based carbon removal developer and is on the Board of Caturus HoldCo, LLC., a large private natural gas producer in South Texas. He previously held positions as Chairman of the Board and interim CEO of Civitas Resources, Inc.

MGW researcher Michele Browne recently met arborist Bernard Carey in Mountshannon, Co. Clare; they discussed his Treeconomics report about the financial value of trees. They also visited Ireland's largest oak tree, the Be Binn, and spoke with Aileen Dunne of local business Oak House Ceramics...

In the summer of 1987, three children discovered that the line between childhood games and the paranormal can disappear in an instant. Out on their grandfather's land near a rumored Native burial ground in rural Montana, the days smelled of cut hay and pine resin — but at dusk, the yard belonged to something else. It began with a toy truck that hurled itself off a shelf, striking the wall with unnatural force. Soon came the faceless black boy crouched beneath the oak tree, holding their toy in silence before vanishing into thin air. But the strangest apparition arrived at midnight: a 17-year-old girl in a faded blue dress, hair in braids, umbrella and purse in hand, standing stiff in the upstairs hallway — staring past them as though trapped in another time. The house's doorbell rang on its own, voices whispered in the backyard when no one was there, and a massive black hand once gripped the doorframe as if trying to pull itself inside. This chilling true ghost story isn't about creaky floors — it's about the way childhood wonder collides with the unseen. Decades later, the memories still linger like a breath on the back of the neck… and the question remains: were these ghosts of the land, or something far older? #TrueGhostStory #RealHaunting #Haunted #FacelessBoy #ShadowFigures #ParanormalActivity #ChildhoodHaunting #GirlInBlueDress #GhostStoriesPodcast #HauntedHouseTales #SupernaturalEncounters #CreepyChildhoodStories Love real ghost stories?

Mary Stone recounts witnessing a bear in her pond overnight, perhaps feeding on acorns. The encounter led her to learn about the Acorn Float Test, which assesses the viability of acorns for propagation. Blue Jays flock to feast on acorns in the fall, making a ruckus. Like squirrels, they bury a stash, though many are never retrieved. Mary admits a previous grudge against Blue Jays, which shifted after observing their nature. She highlights the importance of Oak Trees and Blue Jays in the balance of our natural world.Thanks for tuning in!Related Podcast and Posts: Acorns and a Ruckus of Blue Jays - Blog PostEp 35.

Grief and loss can feel like ashes, but God promises to bring beauty, strength, and hope out of our pain. In Become Like an Oak Tree, Whitney Hopler reflects on Isaiah 61:2-3, reminding us that God grows us into “oaks of righteousness”—deeply rooted in His love, resilient through life’s storms, and a living display of His splendor. Highlights God transforms mourning into joy and despair into praise (Isaiah 61:2-3). Oak trees symbolize strength, endurance, and deep-rooted faith. Trials and grief become the soil where God plants new hope. Spiritual roots—through prayer, worship, and trust—anchor us in storms. Our testimony of faith gives others shade, comfort, and encouragement. Join the Conversation Where have you seen God bring beauty out of your ashes?

Denis Dean had a circuitous route from Miami, Florida to Fayetteville, Arkansas, one involving a family of attorneys, crooked cops, cocaine dealers, and death threats. Now Chief Deputy Prosecutor for Washington and Madison Counties, Dean is looking to shed the "deputy" portion of his title and become the prosecutor. In this episode, he discusses his family history, growing up in Florida in the wildness of the 1980s, and what motivates him when it comes to making sure bad guys face the justice they've earned. Give it a listen, it's a good one. #denisdean #prosecutor #washingtoncountyar #madisoncountyar #cocaine #cocainecowboys #lawenforcement
