Podcasts about Pruning

Imagine leading a technology consulting firm and a regenerative farm. That's exactly what Tommy Ryan, co-founder and CEO of ThreeWill, does—bringing a whole new meaning to “cultivating culture.” In this down-to-earth yet deeply insightful episode, Tommy shares how tending to soil and people aren't as different as you think. From Microsoft collaboration strategies to pulling weeds with intention, we explore the intersection of tech, teamwork, and tomatoes. If you're a business leader seeking grounded strategies for leadership, resilience, and authentic connection—this episode will grow on you. Tommy's approach to leadership is rooted in nature, values, and community. You'll hear how his passion for farming informs the way he builds teams, scales productivity, and fosters collaboration. Plus, learn how he turned his backyard garden into a local produce hub and business wisdom into a widely followed LinkedIn newsletter, “SOwing Success.” This episode isn't just food for thought—it's soul food for business leaders ready to do work that matters. Key Takeaways: Leadership isn't about control—it's about cultivation. Regenerative farming teaches business lessons in resilience, renewal, and timing. Shared values create trust and strengthen company culture. Community is built one microgreen (or meaningful conversation) at a time. Technology solutions must align with human needs and purpose. You can connect better with people by leading with your personal passion. Pruning isn't just for plants—it's vital in business and personal growth. Storytelling and metaphors from nature can simplify complex business ideas. Being intentional about how we work together fuels long-term success. Business can (and should) be rooted in humanity.   CONNECT WITH TOMMY  LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tommyryanprofile/ Instagram Profile: https://www.instagram.com/ironmountainorganics/ Website: https://threewill.com/ Sign up for the Sowing Success Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7293400216303534080/  CONNECT WITH LISA Sign up for Lisa's "so much more" newsletter: https://www.thediyframework.com/so-much-more-subscribe  Next Steps to the New You Waitlist: https://go.lisamcguire.com/next-steps-to-the-new-you-waitlist  Human Design Masterclass Waitlist: https://go.lisamcguire.com/human-design-masterclass-waitlist  ideal Client Workshop Waitlist: https://go.lisamcguire.com/ideal-client-workshop-waitlist-icww785155  Get your free Human Design Bodygraph: https://lisamcguire.com/get-your-free-chart/  Instagram: @iamlisamcguire Facebook: @iamlisamcguire LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisa-mcguire/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@iamlisamcguire

In this episode of Eat Don't Compete, I unpack what real discipleship looks like—and why it's more than just mentorship or role modeling. Discipleship is intentional. It's spiritual. And it's a lifelong process. Dr. Eric Mason said that discipleship is “lifelong process of learning and following Jesus, striving to live a life that reflects His teaching and character.” This episode was important to me because I had the opportunity to reflect on my personal journey and how I was being discipled long before I even had the language for it. For many of us, the people who've poured wisdom into us over the years may not have called it “discipleship”—but if they were teaching us to walk more like Christ, isn't that exactly what it was? We explore what it means to honor those who came before us while walking in deeper revelation, and why we must resist the temptation to get ahead of ourselves when we receive new knowledge. Grace is essential. I also dive into the three key pillars of discipleship outlined in the title): Community – We are not formed in isolation. Don't let the enemy trick you out of the benefits of living in community. Correction – True love tells the truth. Pruning was always meant for long-term growth, rather than short-term comfort.  Commitment – Discipleship is daily, not just seasonal. Without the sacrifice of commitment, there comes a lack of appreciation. Commit to God and commit to being discipled, being a disciple and discipling others. Three questions came up as a revelation that I believed the Lord wanted me to meditate on as I journeyed with him and initially began to learn more about discipleship.  (1) Who am I as a disciple;  (2) How am I being discipled;  and  (3) Who am I discipling?   I believe He wanted me to share these with you today to evaluate where you are in relation to where he wants to take you. Be open to what he wants to say to you. Scriptures covered include: Matthew 28:19–20 – The Great Commission and our call to make disciples. John 8:31 – Comparing the AMP and MSG versions to reveal deeper meaning in abiding in truth. John 15:8 (NLT) – What it means to bear fruit that multiplies through others.  This is a soul-shaping conversation for anyone growing in faith, spiritual maturity, or walking out their assignment as a disciple of Christ.

In this episode of Down the Garden Path, Joanne Shaw speaks with author Susan Poizner about her latest book, Fruit Tree Pruning: The Science and Art of Cultivating Healthy Fruit Trees.  About Susan Poizner Susan Poizner is an award-winning author, journalist, urban orchardist, and fruit tree care educator based in Toronto, Canada. She trains arborists, master gardeners, and community and home orchardists in fruit tree maintenance through in-person workshops, online courses, and webinars. Her books include Grow Fruit Trees Fast, Growing Urban Orchards, Fruit Tree Grafting for Everyone and Fruit Tree Pruning. Here are some of the topics discussed in this episode: Fruit Tree Pruning and Care Pruning techniques for both mature and newly planted fruit trees How to approach neglected trees Susan mentions her previous book on fruit tree grafting and discusses whether homeowners should be encouraged to plant fruit trees, given the maintenance involved. Planting a fruit tree is a long-term commitment Avoid impulse purchases at garden centres Research disease-resistant varieties suitable for your climate and order from specialist fruit tree nurseries Start with younger, bare-root trees that can be shaped through pruning rather than older potted trees The importance of proper site selection, ensuring full sun and space for root growth Susan recommends annual mulching with compost to nourish the tree and advises against planting other plants directly under the tree Pruning timing: wait a year for transplanted potted trees, but prune bare-root trees immediately upon planting in spring Fruit Tree Pruning Basics The importance of pruning fruit trees from the day they are planted The first three years of formative pruning are crucial for shaping the tree's structure Two main tree shapes: central leader (Christmas tree shape) and vase-shaped (goblet) Remove healthy branches to improve air circulation, sunlight penetration, and fruit quality Thin fruit to ensure better size and flavour For mature trees, focus on improving air circulation by removing congested branches, limiting removal to 20-25% of the living canopy per year Prune after blossom time to avoid disease spread and encourage the tree to invest energy in fruiting buds rather than new growth Fruit tree pruning is a DIY activity that anyone can learn, emphasizing that even arborists often lack specific training in fruit tree care Learn proper pruning techniques before hiring professionals Use the right tools, such as Japanese handsaws and pole pruners, and maintain them properly Conduct a soil test before planting fruit trees and use compost for regular feeding, with occasional foliar sprays like diluted blackstrap molasses to boost tree health Susan recommends a dormant spray of lime sulphur and dormant oil in early spring before bud break as a preventative measure against pests and diseases Fruit Tree Education and Community Fruit trees are generous, providing food for generations with a single planting Susan shares her experience at community cherry harvesting events Pests and critters: With proper planning, there's usually enough fruit for both humans and animals  Susan mentions her books on fruit tree care, including titles on pruning, fast-growing techniques, urban orchards, and grafting, which can be found on her website orchardpeople.com or on Amazon.

He grew up in Barbados and moved to the United States of America as a young adult. Neville Goddard was perhaps the last century's most intellectually substantive and charismatic purveyor of the philosophy generally called New Thought. He wrote more than ten books under the solitary pen name Neville, and was a popular speaker on metaphysical themes from the late 1930s until his death in 1972.Possessed of a self-educated and uncommonly sharp intellect, Neville espoused a spiritual vision that was bold and total: Everything you see and experience, including other people, is the result of your own thoughts and emotional states. Each of us dreams into existence an infinitude of realities and outcomes. When you realize this, Neville taught, you will discover yourself to be a slumbering branch of the Creator clothed in human form, and at the helm of limitless possibilities.Neville's thought system influenced a wide range of spiritual thinkers and writers, from bestselling author Dr. Joseph Murphy to Rhonda Byrne and Wayne Dyer.He has inspired and continues to inspire millions of readers around the world.* * *SOCIALS:• Neville Goddard Newsletter• Neville Goddard Telegram• Neville Goddard Instagram• Neville Goddard Threads• Neville Goddard Twitter• Neville Goddard YouTube* * *ABOUT THE COURSEUnlock God Mode is a transformative 30-day course designed to accelerate your journey towards greater wealth, love, and success through a deeper understanding and manipulation of your reality.  Comprising of 30 audio lessons, this course unfolds as a self-paced, introspective expedition into reality creation, aiding you in elevating your consciousness to what's referred to as the God Mode. Throughout this journey, practical tools will be provided daily to help enrich your life with more love, money, and success by altering your mental models and perceptions. This course combines theory and hands-on experience to create a unique deep dive into manifestation, consciousness, and reality creation.

Nick Hodge, Co-Owner of Digest Publishing and editor of Foundational Profits and Hodge Family Office, joins us for a longer-format discussion on and the macro and micro themes that are continuing to create volatility in the general equities, bonds, and commodities market, and how he has been using these moves to both prune winning positions and plant new positions in the gold, silver, copper, rare earths, and uranium stocks.   We start off reviewing the cooling of the extreme market volatility we witnessed a little over a month ago, where general US equities have rebounded strongly, but instead of being concentrated into just mega-cap tech, capital has broadened out into other sectors like consumer staples, real estate, and industrials. Nick reiterated his stance that these factors are not demonstrating an economy going immediately into a recession or depression, and neither are the improving GDP metrics, so he is anticipating a reflationary trade for the second half of this year.   When the pause comes off the tariffs in July they will be less extreme than many initially envisioned, but this will still cause an uptick in inflation and be a net positive for the commodities sector.   Nick remains bullish on gold, silver, and copper for fundamental reasons as well as recent pricing strength momentum.   In addition to solid portfolio positions in ETFs like (GDXJ) and (SLVR), or playing domestic copper and base metals production through Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (NYSE: FCX); he was also active last year and early this year putting capital to work in junior exploration companies like Kingsmen Resources Ltd. (TSXV: KNG) (OTCQB: KNGRF), Hannan Metals Limited (TSXV: HAN) (OTC Pink: HANNF), and Quartz Mountain Resources Ltd. (TSXV:QZM)(OTC PINK:QZMRF).   We the weave in other commodities, such as how he is playing rare earths recycling through a position in CoTec Holdings Corp. (TSXV:CTH)(OTCQB:CTHCF), or investing in junior uranium stocks using the ETF (URNJ) or positions in Energy Fuels Inc. (TSX: EFR) (NYSE American: UUUU) and Denison Mines Corp. (TSX: DML) (NYSE American: DNN).   This leads to a deeper dive into the overall demand drivers for nuclear power, small modular reactor stocks, uranium supply constraints as the utility contracting picks up the pace, and how that should continue to benefit uranium equities.    Click here to follow Nick's analysis and publications over at Digest Publishing

Six Flags/Cedar Fair's first post-merger casualty is Six Flags America, erasing 70 full-time and 700 seasonal jobs and $3.5 million in local tax revenue—freeing capital for “marquee” investments elsewhere. At the same time, Marriott's Gaylord resorts are turning their glass atriums into mini-comic-cons with a DC-branded summer slate, headlined by a 17,500-sq-ft lantern trail of 24-ft heroes, to lure families who might skip a theme-park trip.

Sometimes growth feels like loss. This week, we explore how God shapes us through hard seasons—not to punish us, but to prepare us for more. Even the fruitful branches get pruned. Could God be growing something deeper in you? Reflection: Have you gone through a season where something was taken away, but in hindsight, it led to growth? What might God be pruning in your life right now?

The Lord uses His word in the midst of our trials to make us more like Christ.

The word for today is: Pruning. In today's episode, John Ortberg invites us into a deep and honest reflection on what it means to live with an untroubled heart—even in a troubled world. Joined by Susie Lipps, he explores Jesus' words from John 15: “I am the true vine… and my Father is the gardener.” Together, they unpack the spiritual practice and painful beauty of pruning—how God lovingly cuts away what is unnecessary so we can bear real, lasting fruit. With wisdom from C.S. Lewis, Dale Bruner, and ancient voices like Irenaeus, this teaching reframes hardship, loss, and frustration as invitations to deeper growth. Whether it's traffic delays or soul-level disappointment, this episode will help you see where God may be shaping you through it all.Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

Pruning hurts — but it's necessary for real growth. In John 15, Jesus teaches that no connection means no life and no fruit. Staying connected to Him means daily choosing to remain — and allowing God to lovingly cut away whatever steals your fruitfulness.
