Maud Powell, former co-owner of Wolf Gulch Farm in Oregon, shares her farming journey and the impact of climate change on her land. After experiencing drought and a devastating heat dome, Maud and her husband realized they had to leave their farm and find a new property with more water, despite having made decades of investment in the farm. In response, Maud started the Oregon State University Extension Ag Climate Grief and Support Initiative to help farmers cope with the emotional toll of climate change.The initiative offers workshops and resources to address climate grief and stress. Maud emphasizes the importance of community support and resilience in the face of climate challenges. The project aims to create a supportive community for farmers and provide resources to address climate grief. Podcast Sponsors:Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: BCS two-wheel tractors are designed and built in Italy where small-scale farming has been a way of life for generations.

Today, host Alex Ball sits down with Chirstian Flickinger of Renegade Acres to discuss their certified organic heirloom vegetable farm and their organic seed business, Garden Hoard. They are a year round operation growing produce through the spring-fall for sale to farmers markets while saving and processing seeds for winter packaging and sales. Their business started as a seed business, Garden Hoard, and grew into the actual production farm Renegade Acres. Katie, who started the seed business, is a mastermind of planning and her family history with saving seeds was the start of the business. A major discussion of the interview is work life balance, and Katie & Christian are working really hard to enjoy their lives outside of farming. By prioritizing experiences and time together outside of the farm they are finding balance in their lives and making their farm more productive. Farming is a full time lifestyle that can easily consume you, and they are working hard to not let that happen. Follow Christian & Katie on Instagram and check out their incedible seed website!

Kiera and Britt review Who Not How: The Formula to Achieve Bigger Goals Through Accelerating Teamwork by Dan Sullivan. The theory is to consider how much time you're spending on tasks that would be done better and cheaper, and give you more time for other tasks that only you can do. Kiera and Britt give examples of how this can work in a dental practice as well as your personal life. Find the full book club rundown here! Episode resources: Reach out to Kiera and Britt Tune Into DAT's Monthly Webinar Practice Momentum Group Consulting Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Become Dental A-Team Platinum! Review the podcast Transcript: Kiera Dent (00:00.92) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera and I am pumped. I have the one and only Brittany Stone on the podcast with me for our book club. Britt, how you doing today?   Britt (00:10.986) I'm doing great. book club day is always fun. tell you, I know people like wish they could be part of our actual live book club with Dental A Team. I've heard it from clients before, but we've got a pretty good one.   Kiera Dent (00:18.711) you   Kiera Dent (00:23.638) We do. And Britt, we are thinking of shaking up our book club for 2025 of adding in a little more fiction. I'm not sure how you guys feel about that. So be sure to email in. Do you want us to solely stick with dental books? Do you want us to cut the book club? Or do you want to roll into our fiction? Britt has been banned from choosing the ones Britt and I book club on, which are very dicey topics. We will not even share the ones we book club on. They're not bad. They're just   very very very charged of I don't know it's not even like politics   Britt (00:55.114) They make you think that there's some of those like ethical or different things that you're like, hmm, what do I think about that? So it's more of like stretching the mind on things, not like bad books.   Kiera Dent (01:03.241) Exactly.   Kiera Dent (01:07.608) Exactly. No, no, I should clarify that it sounded like you were like reading these steamy books. No, we just like the ones that challenge our ethical minds and make us question. It's kind of like those like if you think about I remember there was a one like the dad, the train person and the tracks are there and he hears this little boy and it's like you could either save your child or you can save a train of 500 people. What are you going to do? Like I hope and pray I'm never in that position, but Britt loves to bring these juicy ones up like that.   We're not even going talk about it because I would cry. Luckily, I don't have a child, so I wouldn't even have to make that decision. That is the one benefit of failed IVFs. We're fine.   Britt (01:45.888) Hey, you know, you got nieces and nephews. It must be a family trait. I've got one niece that she was asking her mom at Sunday dinner when our family was together, would you save me or the dog? So, you know, she does love the dog.   Kiera Dent (02:00.03) I mean, I would. Britt, would you save me or Bertie?   Britt (02:06.128) So you want to know what I told my niece and here's why I just get like we'll get back to the book. Don't worry guys. It's a tangent. I Like I told my niece to give her a hard time and like well you couldn't walk and get yourself out of the house The dog might get lost you're you're smart enough to help yourself, but the dog may not so   Kiera Dent (02:11.478) sorry.   Kiera Dent (02:24.413) What if I'm like stuck in bed Britt like decrepit I can't move and birdie is birdie who are gonna save then?   Britt (02:33.781) Both.   Pick them up. One in each arm, let's go.   Kiera Dent (02:40.701) Well, on that note, that's how our book clubs usually shake out. So maybe, maybe one day, Britt, we might actually host a live book club. If you guys want that, let me know. We could do like a live webinar style and have you guys come give the book. Let me know if you'd be interested in that. I don't know if I don't know, we might do it. might not let us know if you're interested.   Britt (02:51.231) Yes.   Britt (02:59.625) I don't know if that's fun or not. It's kind of a nerdy thing. We know you guys like your dental nerds out there You're listening to us and you're reading books with us. So maybe it's interesting   Kiera Dent (03:07.916) Maybe, maybe you'd want to. So let us know, email Hello@TheDentalATeam.com Let me know. There's two things I'm dying to know. One, should we stick with business books for next year? Two, I lied, I want three things. This is how I roll. Britt knows it's going to turn to three. Two, should we keep the book club for 2025? And three, would you want to attend a book club live with us? Cause I could even do a live podcast. So let us know if you want to do that. One, should we change to fiction?   Two, should we keep it going? And three, do you want to attend a live book club with us? Let us know. Email in Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. If I hear from none of you, we're eliminating the book club and Britt and I are just going to do our own ethical dilemma ones on our own that you'll never know about. But we're here for it if it's serving you, that's ultimately the podcast is for you. And just want to say thank you all for being our listeners and part of our Dental A Team podcast family. We're hoping several of you actually join our Dental A Team in-person family.   Britt (03:48.032) I   Kiera Dent (04:00.792) Speaking of meeting us in person, next year, 2025, we are releasing business and leadership events. They're happening. We're super freaking jazzed to meet a lot of you. It's part of our platinum consulting now. So be sure to reach out if you're interested, if you want to meet us, they're going to be incredible. call it like, basically these events are going to be fun because it's Dental A Team, of course. They're a day and a half on a Friday and a Saturday. And I call them like, we're stripping it down to the bones of your business.   to literally get down to what's really going on. Let's figure out what the issues are and then let's make you a map of clarity when you leave and it's for doctors and OMS to come to. So that way doctors, you don't just come and get jazzed up and then have to go get your team on board, but you literally can come and be with us in person. So Britt, Tiff, Dana, myself, Kristy, all of our consultants, you're gonna meet a lot of the Dental A Team in person. So one, if you wanna meet us, come join us. But two, I really think it's an incredible opportunity to...   basically like mastermind with other doctors, like mastermind so cliche and we're actually doing it a lot differently and it's built on your life. It's built on your business. We're having you really like, like I said, it's like a full autopsy of your practice in front of other offices to where we can give you the nuts and bolts of what you need to do to be successful and to have your dream life and your dream practice. so we're super excited. We're going to do this every quarter.   But two in-persons next year. So reach out Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. and I are pumped about it. Tiff and I are giddy. We have been dreaming of doing this for a few years. So there is limited spacing. So before end of year, be sure to get in. I would love to have you be a part of it. And prices do go up in 2025. So be sure to get in in 2024, because I like to save you money. And it's also a great tax write-off. So if you've been thinking about it, you've been wondering if I should do consulting, the answer is stop thinking and start deciding and execute. Let's make 2025 thriving rather than surviving.   So Britt on that, Who Not How? This is actually excellent. The book is Who Not How by Dan Sullivan. Dan Sullivan makes me like have a good time, because I actually met Dan Sullivan in real life. So that was really fun. It was awesome. And this book is really about, instead of thinking about how do I do this myself, who can I hire, who can I elevate out to be able to do this faster and more effectively? And honestly, Britt, as I...   Britt (05:52.448) You   Kiera Dent (06:16.684) I didn't even mean to tie these together, but think about a consultant. Like, why are you trying to run your practice on your own? Why are you trying to rally your team? Why are you trying to figure out how to run this practice successfully when literally there's the Dental A Team consultants, there's other consultants as well, they can do it better, faster, more efficiently than you can. Why are you spending your time? And so even for this, like Britt, goes back to the book club of buy back your time. If you know, you're hourly. like, let's do what's a general dollar per hour for.   a usual Dr. Britt. Like let's not go high end, not let's not go at low end. What's usually a dollar per hour for a dentist.   Britt (06:52.0) Well, and they say even go from yearly. So like, what's a yearly salary for a dentist? Let's say, you know, we know our dentists do a lot better than this. But let's start with an easy number just to make it simple. And let's say 100,000. We know you're doing more, but let's say 100,000 to make easy math.   Kiera Dent (07:09.684) I hope you're doing more. If you're not doing more than that, you should definitely still call because, our doctors are usually doing two, three, 400,000 take home that that's like on the low end as well. have some doctors taking home in the millions, which is great. And I, I geek out about that. I don't care about your number. care about your life. And we ultimately build your, your take home pay based on what you want your life to be. So, okay. So if you are making a hundred thousand, if you are doing a task that's below that hundred thousand dollar a year mark,   Britt (07:17.535) Yep.   Britt (07:30.495) Mm-hmm.   Kiera Dent (07:39.562) you should be delegating it out. And like that's the whole idea between buy back your time and who not how. And I think like a really easy analogy on this that I actually like I tested this Britt. I don't know if I told you this, I tested this this summer and my husband, he's been wanting to get some projects done. Like literally Britt, I wanted him to figure out there's a 457B plan there's, which was gonna save us a lot on taxes from his perspective.   and there were some other things he wanted to do. There were different positions, like that. just had all these different projects he wanted to do. So this summer I decided to be a helpful wife and I thought about it I'm like, he is freaking mowing the lawn every single week. And he's always telling me like, here, I have to work on the yard. So I can't do all these projects. So I just hired a lawn care company. knew what Jason's hourly was. I knew what his salary was. And not to say that Jason can't do it because Jason loves doing the lawn. Like he really does. He says he enjoys it.   But I didn't, I didn't even tell him. I just wanted to test this theory of buy back your time and who, not how, and like, does this really work? So we hired this lawn care crew because our lawn literally looked terrible. So I had a good edge that way because I don't know what happened. My family's a lawn business team and we could not get this grass to grow this year. I hired them, I kid you not, we had this lawn care crew for two and a half months. Okay. So I didn't have them for a long time in those two and a half months. Jason got his 457B plan set up. He got this whole retirement thing done.   He got, like, there were so many projects on his list that Jason just checked off and he's like, man, like, yeah, I got this scheduled. I got this scheduled. And I told him at the end when he's like, we should get rid of the lawn care crew. I said, yes, like our grass is dead at this point. And it became fall. So I was like, it was an easy cancellation. But I said, is it crazy that I think they charged me, I think they were $35 to come and mow our like teeny tiny backyard. A week is what we were paying.   but my husband was making more than that. And so I was like, let me just try this experiment. was like $200 a month is what we were paying for it. And yet that 457B plan is exponentially, that's a $23,000 piece for $250. And like, this is the whole principle of like, when we eliminate those projects that we can and delegate them out, you're able to buy back so much of your time, who not, how, like, how are we gonna figure out how to mow the lawn and do all these things? And I know that sounds like something so funny.   Kiera Dent (09:57.144) But it's crazy because when you have the time available to do it and you're not trying to figure out how to do it all, you actually can grow exponentially. So thinking back to the doctor trying to figure all the pieces out, that's actually where I think a consultant is a great bang for your buck because one, we put production on your schedule. Two, we reduce your overhead. Three, we take care of your team for you. Four, we have all the secrets of how to get there and we'll just share every one of them with you. And we cost less than what it's going to cost you to bring a whole employee into your practice. So.   I mean, it wasn't intentionally meant to be a consultant plug, but I think like even the math for our logical people, the math, math, the math's really well of how to do this. And it's really thinking of how can we stop thinking of how I can do this myself and who, but Britt, you're my financially savvy person. You're the person who's like, figure it out. I can do this. What's your take on this book club? Cause I did the, I ran the experiment. Jason's like a freaking penny pincher, which is fine. Like it's great to have that.   I just was curious if we'd actually get things done if he didn't have to do it, and he did. So I ran the experiment and I saw it worked, but Britt, what's your take? Let's rally on our book club of back and forth.   Britt (11:01.207) Yeah, and I like looking at what it costs right and what you're making and what you can outsource to someone else and like I pick a hundred thousand because it's easy to multiply I know in a 40-hour workweek it's 50 bucks So if you're making double that triple that quadruple that whatever it is It's easy math to do to see what you could be making right with your time versus what you're paying out to someone else So you said what it costs 35 bucks or something for them to come mow your lawn   How long would it take Jason to do that job?   Kiera Dent (11:31.65) So usually would take Jason about an hour to an hour and a half. Cause like he just piddled out there and like then he'd go pick the weeds and then he'd do this and then he'd do that. So he's usually out there for like an hour to two hours. But what was actually happening is I think it was more the mental real estate time, not just the actual time on it because he's like, I got to get the lawn done. I've got to get the lawn done. every night that was mental real estate in him too, outside of the actual time that it was taking him. So that's why he wasn't getting any of his other projects done because he was saying,   Britt (11:46.228) Mm.   Kiera Dent (12:00.16) I need to get this 457B plan done, but yet the higher real estate was the grass that doesn't stop growing that he knew he needed to get out there. So I'm like, yes, hourly, he was out there for like an hour and a half, two hours, which if we do the 50 bucks, that's a hundred dollars. We're only paying 35. It's still a net positive, but it was also the mental real estate that I'm like, let's just check up at least like one to two more hours a week that Jason was stressed about it, trying to figure it out, going to Home Depot to get the blah, blah, whatever he was buying.   Britt (12:16.916) Mm-hmm.   Kiera Dent (12:28.012) Like let's just say on an average week, let's not be over the top, but let's say it's two hours every single week. That's right there. If we're 50 bucks, that's $100 a week and it's 35. That's $65 of extra time that we bought and your time's worth more than that as well.   Britt (12:45.598) Yep, and you're doing the higher value tasks agreed here, right? Like whether it's the time or it's the mental energy to go do those tasks that are definitely a higher value. So for our penny pinchers out there, sometimes it's like, like is it really worth it? Yes, because you can do much higher level, more productive things with your time over.   people who also do it way more efficiently than I do, right? Mowing the lawn, I guarantee you it doesn't take them an hour and half to mow those lawns because they do it all day every day and they're super efficient at it and that's their profession and they're great. So I'm like, awesome. One, they get it done faster. Doesn't cost me that much. I get to open up time to do things that are higher level. Fantastic. And that's just an example of life. And for doctors, you also have lawns. And do I hear some of my clients that are like, I did the best thing, right? That is one thing I'm   Kiera Dent (13:11.563) No.   Britt (13:34.78) not doing anymore. So you've got your home things and you've got your business things to look at to see who not how. So you're not trying to cram all these things, feeling like you're ragged and kind of burning the candle at both ends. But you can look for those things that you can outsource, delegate if we've got the bandwidth to do it, so that you're looking for that person that's who and not how you're going to fit all the things in.   Kiera Dent (13:58.974) Yeah, and I think it's just an interesting perspective of when you start to think of who, not how, it actually, I feel, takes like a mental lift off of you too, like off of your shoulders. You no longer having to carry this because I think so many doctors who reach out to us for consulting, they're doing the payroll, they're doing the HR, they're doing the policies, they're doing the dentistry, they're doing the management, they're doing the schedule, they're doing the time off requests. Like there's so many and then they're trying to be a parent or a spouse or an individual dating, like whatever it is, they're trying to do that. And then you're trying to juggle your house   tasks as well, like I've got to get the dinner made and I've got to get these items done or I've got to take the trash out, I've got to mow the lawn. So in all the aspects of our life, looking to see who could actually we delegate this to and maybe we just start with small things.   But I think about like in the book they talk about there's the collaboration and there's the delegation like Britt was saying. So who could we collaborate with? Who could we delegate? I know Britt, Tiff, Shelby and I just had a really good in-person meeting and it was crazy to think of like, and then we did it with our marketing team of who's the most efficient at getting this done. Tiff has said that. Tiff can write a newsletter for you guys, which by the way, I hope you guys are all getting that. The consultants like truly, I feel like they write you love letters every week in their newsletters. They just truly want you to be successful. So if you haven't subscribed to our newsletters,   Be sure to, I think it's on the website. Is that how you get it? I don't actually know. Email us, Hello@TheDentalATeam.com and then, Britt, let's make a note to ask marketing. It should be on our website to subscribe to the newsletter. This is how we delegate guys, right there. Britt, talk to marketing. There you go, you're welcome. But like we talked about it and we're like, who's the most efficient at writing the newsletters? If it takes Britt an hour to write a newsletter, but Tiffany can do it in 15 minutes, well, Britt's a lot stronger at writing policies, procedures, operations.   Britt (15:18.012) Melis.   Kiera Dent (15:39.82) let's split our tasks, it takes a tip a lot longer. It's creative brains and logical brains as well. So who can we collaborate and delegate with? And then leveraging others' expertise. And this is where I think like coaches, different mentors, different people, like as an office manager, I wanted a mentor so bad because I'm trying to just fumble through and figure this stuff out rather than learning from someone else. And then he says, focus on what you're good at, stop worrying about the process, and then clarify your outcome. So just thinking of this who, how,   Like leveraging other expertise, like other people can mow a lawn a lot better than Jason can. so doing that, that allowed Jason then to work on higher, like I said, was $250 is how much. So for the two months that I had them, it was $500, I think is what I spent on our lawn care. And Jason was able to figure out, this was just one of the projects he did. It's a $23,000 investment into our retirement fund. So we think about it, $500 compared to 23,000, I think we often bog ourselves down and don't realize like,   These tasks will actually move you forward personally, professionally, exponentially. Like our doctors were adding 50,000, 100,000, 200,000. Our fee is anywhere from 24,000 to 50,000. But like you're making a hundred grand. So stop doing it. And I know it can be very scary. So Britt, how do you within the book, within your own personal life, how do you get past that? Like it's scary to spend the money and hope the experiment works. Jason was adamant.   He was not super excited about me because the first lawn mow was $75 and he's like, I could do it better than that, which is true. But yet, like I can give you this math equation. How do you, it's almost like, how do you let go of the vine and trust and like jump into the process when maybe things already feel tight or already feel scary or already feel like, like, how do you do that and get past that mental block from your perspective?   Britt (17:30.452) I know. think it's trying something simple first, like honestly, right? Even if it's like mowing the lawn, right? And you see, all right, what can I get done? It's starting with something simple that's maybe, you know, isn't as scary to you to do it. And you'll start to realize that it's beneficial. And I love how you said even the things that are going to think about something new you're doing or something you're trying to do and the amount of time you might spend researching, trying to figure it out.   trying not having it go well, right? Kind of running that circle and the amount of time that it takes where sometimes it is just hiring someone that's an expert about it to be able to get you there so much faster. And I'll tell you, I think that some of our, some of our gunners out there that we work with, right? True entrepreneurs are dentists that are like, yep, they've got big dreams. They've got big goals and it's fantastic. And they realize this principle. think they've learned this principle already. They're like, great. Who can I hire?   who can I get to help me that's going to get me there faster because time is an opportunity cost, right? So like you're like, it's just my time. No, there's a cost associated with your time and you can be doing things that are much better use of your time to move things forward. If you've got, hey, most efficient way to do it, bring someone in, hire someone to do it. And that's part of who, not how.   Kiera Dent (18:49.249) Yeah, I-   Britt (18:49.6) I'd say try something simple first if you need to and you start to realize, my gosh, most people are going to be like, my gosh, I'm so glad that I did that. Right? And then, all right, what's the next thing?   Kiera Dent (19:00.08) And as you were saying, Britt, it actually made me think back to, we have a pretty good pool of doctors to look at, to see how they're doing. And we have different tiers in consulting. And for all of our clients that listen, please know that I see you, I respect you. There's no judgment because everyone's at their own space. I have noticed though that there is a trend with the doctors who go for the platinum. So whether they're coming in person to our events or the ones that are we're flying to their practices and they have the one-on-one consultations.   They exponentially like without fail are always the practices that move forward the fastest. And I think it's the same thing of like virtual training with a gym. I had it, I had my trainer and she was great and it was awesome and I got good results. But me going in person with her and me training, have like, I was lifting 15 pounds and now I'm doing 65, 75, 85 just in a few short months. And so I think it's just the difference of like, I do believe that what we invest in can shorten the runway for us as well.   but also making sure we're not just dabbling in small dabbles too. Like it's just this interesting dynamic, but I'm like, look at the most successful people. They hire great coaches, they execute on it, they hire the team that they need to do, and they just consistently will move forward. And I think back to even some of our startup doctors that bought a practice, we have several that are doing ridiculously well. They jumped in, they paid in full for their consulting at the top tier. But I also think it's because they burned the boats and they were committed, they were locked in of like, I'm going to get the ROI from this. So I think there's also a mental game to it too.   And so looking at yourself of who are you, start with something small or jump in and be like, no, I need to commit to this. Like I love to freaking scare myself. love like Tony Robbins this year was so much like I pay stupid amounts of money for it. Like, and it's not stupid amounts of money. It's $150,000 that I pay for Tony's coaching. And yet the fit, the ROI I get, but like, I love to do it because I love to scare myself of like, all right, I'm going to write this check. I'm going to pay in full.   and then I'm going to force myself to find a way to make that ROI up. I don't put that on Tony. I put that on me. Like he's got the tools I need to implement and execute. And if I don't, that's on me. And so I also think sometimes like it is the mental thing with the lawn, you better freaking believe I was like, I am hoping this pays Jason off. And then when Jason saw it, he started to think of what is his hourly and what things is he doing that he could outsource to someone else to free up his time for it. Now the flip side is   Kiera Dent (21:23.82) Well, Jason would argue with me, but I like mowing the lawn and I like doing these house projects and I enjoy doing that. And I would say, fine, pick one that you enjoy and the rest, let's look for who we can outsource that to, who we can leverage to, who we can collaborate with. You don't always necessarily have to hire someone. You could just delegate and use your resources like we do with our consultants, with Tiffany, with the newsletters more efficiently. And so I think within a practice, have it. And also office managers, look at your time. Could you outsource to billing? Could you outsource to an HR company? And when you look at your hourly,   Don't forget to tack on your insurance that you're getting, your PTO that you're getting, like all the different pieces, your 401k benefits, because your hourly is actually probably more than what you think your hourly is. So let's not forget that too, because for outsource people, like a consultant, like an HR company, like a biller, you're not paying the insurance on them. You're not paying the 401k on them. You're not paying for them to take time off. None of those things are coming out of your pocket. So looking at that as well.   I think are really great ways. So if I was you listening today, one, I'd read the book. think it's a good read, buy back your time, whichever one you jive with. think they're pretty similar notions, but I think they just speak of it in a little bit different. One, you've got to know your dollar per hour. What is that? And then go through your tasks, write down all your tasks, and then maybe put a dollar amount of if you could outsource this to someone. And if you don't know, Google it. But like I said, like these outsource companies are going to be cheaper than what you're doing for the most part. Maybe not always, but like,   Could you look for someone to come clean your house for you once a month or once every other week? And so it knocks it down and allows you to have the space to work on your business and grow that more. Could you find someone to do your yard service for you? Could you find someone to teach your team for you? Could you find resources for your team? Could you look for a different HR company? Could you reduce costs somewhere? There's so many different options. And what I love about these kind of books is when you expand your brain, you're able to actually do a lot.   more than you thought. And like we said at the beginning, I think don't forget the mental real estate of researching, figuring it out. So if you already know great people there, execute, grow. And then during that time, even ask those people. So like I'm thinking about coaches, I asked Tony Robbins, like, who do you know? And one of our great coaches this year came from my network within Tony Robbins, because now I'm not having to research, I just ask brilliant people, who do you know? And that's why I love our community is whatever question you have, there's a doctor who's done it done it somewhere who knows who can give you the resources for it.   Kiera Dent (23:44.886) Now you don't have to spend the research. All you have to do is send one message in our group. They'll tell you exactly where it is. The consultants are there and working with hundreds and hundreds, like we're talking six, 700 practices. We have some pretty good resources available. Let's cut that timeline down for you and execute really quickly. So Britt, those are kind of my takeaways from it. Any others that you had, I'm obviously a proponent for this and Britt, you know that because on a week that you guys are gone, I just get a lot done and you're like, Kiera, know you think of who you can delegate to. Who do you know? Who could we send this to?   Britt (24:03.872) You   Kiera Dent (24:13.75) and you're able to get a lot done in a short amount of time. But I really do think that this is a powerful, powerful exercise. If you want to get more done with your life with less stress, more ease and go further faster rather than trying to like muscle through the entire thing.   Britt (24:28.884) Yeah, and I think also realizing what things are your time sucks because I think often we can get stuck in doing the things that are simple and easy for us because it's just routine. And so sometimes those can be the hard ones to delegate or get rid of or outsource to someone else, even though those are low hanging through items. So even kind of asking ourselves sometimes, am I just using this as a distraction from the things that are most important for me to get done? If you are, then that's something that if you can delegate or outsource, it should probably be delegated or outsourced.   can focus on the most important.   Kiera Dent (25:00.992) And a good way to look at that, think, Britt, brilliant is look at what tasks you're doing first thing in the morning. And most of the time, if we are not delegating efficiently or effectively or hiring people or utilizing the people around us, we're usually starting with low level tasks in the morning because it's easy. And the reality is the gunners, the practices who do the best, the CEOs that are really cranking, they're hitting their top, like highest value. I'm working at the top of my...   My degree is what Jason's clinic says with all their doctors, like you should be working at the top of your degree first thing in the morning, cranking things that are moving and pushing you forward. And if you're not, I think that's a really great area because it's easy to feel productive by being busy when the reality is being productive means we're moving forward exponentially consistently. So look to see, we busy or are we moving forward on the things that really push us forward? And if not, can we get rid of some of those other things? Can we hire people? Can we help other people train us?   I think are really good ways to look at this. So for you guys, read the book. It was a super fun book. I enjoy topics like this. I enjoy it. And also truly look to see your hourly. I know a lot of people get nervous about consulting. Consultants can be scary. The ROI, all the different pieces, but I guarantee I can stamp my hat on this. Every single client we have ever worked with, we run the numbers, we watch it. Your consulting is guaranteed to be covered.   Britt (25:58.912) you   Kiera Dent (26:23.774) with what we're able to add to your practice, reducing your overhead, fixing your billing in your systems. But in addition to that, you're happier, you're less stressed. Yes, it's a two way street. You have to show up to the game. Just like I said, I can't blame Tony of like, didn't get $150,000 of value. That's on me. Like I got to make sure I'm showing up to the game as well. If we're doing our part, which I promise you, we are experts in this field, but we can shorten your runway.

The name of this episode tells it all. On today's episode of the ILP podcast, I focus on the crucial need for teachers to take your Paid Time Off (PTO) to rest and rejuvenate and maintain a happy and healthy lifestyle. I give you ideas of how to utilize PTO days effectively, whether for relaxation, personal hobbies, or connecting with loved ones. Teaching is stressful and we must remember that well-rested and happy teachers that take their days are more effective than burnout and tired ones that are there everyday.

The consumer lending space has seen a great deal of innovation in the past decade or more. But the number of completely new lending concepts that cross my desk has reduced to a trickle in the past couple of years. That is why I was excited to see an idea that was completely original and compelling.My next guest on the Fintech One-on-One podcast is Veetahl Eilat-Raichel, the CEO and Co-Founder of Sorbet. While you could think about Sorbet as an unsecured consumer lender, because that broadly defines them, they have discovered a completely untapped niche: PTO (Paid Time Off). Most employees accrue PTO that has real value and Sorbet has figured out how to tap into that value to create a lending product.In this podcast you will learn:The founding story of Sorbet.The size of the unused PTO marked in this country.The percentage of employees that accrue PTO.How their PTO advances work.How they integrate with payroll systems.When the issued their first loan.Their unique capabilities to underwrite PTO.What they consider to be their technological moat.What happens if someone uses all their PTO and then leaves their job.The two types of personas that uses Sorbet.The average loan size and the range of interest rates charged.What they have learned in the data so far.How they are going to market.How they are educating the market on the concept.What they learned from the earned wage access space.The three revenue streams they have.Their biggest challenge in growing the business today.How they are funding their loans.The early pivot they made that transformed the company.Connect with Fintech One-on-One: Tweet me @PeterRenton Connect with me on LinkedIn Find previous Fintech One-on-One episodes

Max Schneider uses sand and salt escapes to help his clients avoid burnout. After burning out from a decade in consulting, Max sought healing through a transformative surf and yoga retreat in Costa Rica, where he finally found the clarity and calm he'd been seeking. Inspired, he created “sand and salt” retreats to offer others the same renewal. Max's experiences enable him to design personalized, small-group retreats that calm the nervous system and help high-achieving professionals recharge. His team is dedicated to curating escapes that leave clients feeling refreshed, balanced, and ready to thrive in their lives and careers.

Through mindfulness, I've learned that those emotions are stored in the body and you can't run from them. Those emotions will come out. It could be in the form of shingles and anxiety attacks which I've had. You can't run from that kind of stuff. It stays in there. It Will metastasize cells into skin cancer. We've seen that happen twice actually with my wife. Stress and those emotions don't run away. Thoughts on Breathing The reason why in meditation we focus on our breath blew my mind when I first started practicing meditation. We focus on our breath because the only place that we can breathe is in the present moment. If we're trying to cultivate presence through meditation, all we have to do is focus on our breath. Close your eyes, feel your chest move in and out. When I first learned that, it was the biggest aha moment for me. Suggested Resources Book: No Mud, No Lotus by Thich Nhat Hanh App: n/a Bullying Story My first job after graduation was in outside sales for a manufacturing company. I was sent to Boston with no cost-of-living adjustment and just two weeks of PTO. During the holidays, I asked my manager if I could work from our home office to spend more time with family. He yelled, questioning why I thought I was special. I pushed back aggressively, feeling cornered. Looking back, I cringe. If I'd practiced mindfulness, I'd have responded with more compassion—for myself and for him—and likely managed the situation better.

You may know Lindsey Lusher Shute from co-founding the National Young Farmers Coalition, but what we talk about on the pod this week is her work with GrownBy: the only cooperatively farmer-owned farm marketplace app. During her decade as the Executive Director of the NYFC, one of the needs that was identified was a flexible way for farmers to sell a wide variety of products online. That need is what led to her founding the Farm Generations Cooperative that runs GrownBy.Now, over 900 farms use GrownBy to sell vegetables, flowers, goat petting sessions (listen to the interview!) and more, straight to the public. Very competitive selling fees are made even more attractive by the fact that as soon as farmers make a sale through the platform, they are invited to join the Farm Generations Cooperative, and potentially get some of their fees back as a coop co-owner. You can also run a CSA through GrownBy; for all the details, listen to this week's Growing for Market Podcast! Connect With Guest:Website: https://grownby.appInstagram: @grownbyapp Subscribe To Our Magazine -all new subscriptions include a FREE 28-Day Trial Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support:Tilth Soil makes living soils for organic growers.

Hey listeners, it's Natalie. I have a sweet, tart, and charming treat for you today. Bernis Ingvaldson runs Honeyberry USA with her husband Jim out of their farm in northern Minnesota. So this all came about because last year a friend and guest listener, shout out to Michelle, suggested I contact a USDA researcher she knew who had done some work with honeyberries, which are also known as hascaps. The researcher sent me to Bernis, who has established herself as one of the experts in growing hascaps in The States. I think perennial fruits are one of the most delightful things in the world and it's super exciting to me that there are more out there than what most consumers or even farmers know about. I'm appreciative of people like Bernis who have worked to develop systems that can make these crops profitable, not just for the home gardeners and to the breeders who have developed these new varieties. You can check out her website where they have a lot of practical information on growing hasgaps, honey berries, and more. It's just full of good stuff. And, also, you can order your hascaps when you're done being inspired by Bernis! Honeyberryusa.com to learn more about and order your own honeyberry (and other berry) plants!

Today on The LA Food Podcast… What game is Norm Langer playing by reposting Rick Caruso's scathing video of Mayor Karen Bass' efforts (or lacktherof) to clean up MacArthur Park? Why is Martha Stewart irate over the way she's being portrayed in her brand new Netflix documentary “Martha?” And why is a trip Dan Tana's pretty much obligatory in your near future, dear listener? We're joined today by SF Gate's Karen Palmer to discuss all of the above. She's filling in for Father Sal and, dare I say, Father Sal watch out. If he keeps abusing his PTO days, Karen just made a case for why there might need to be a change in administration. Too soon? In Part 2 we're joined by Richard Pink of Pink's Hot Dogs. The Hollywood icon that is Pink's is celebrating its 85th birthday and is giving out 85 cent hot dogs to celebrate. I caught up with Richard at Pink's to hear about the promotion, but more importantly, to hear his reflections on the little hot dog stand that could.  As always please consider leaving us a rating or a review wherever you listen to podcasts.

Happy birthday Joey! The boys come LIVE on election night while the Seattle Kraken are facing the Colorado Avalanche, once again giving Jeff the opportunity to live out his dream as a broadcaster after giving the Kraken Pod Fam info as to why the pod needed a break last week. Warning, a bit sad. This week's Kraken Reaction has the two discussing the team getting shutout in back to back games, who Joey Daccord might have played his best game of the season in a loss in Boston, how the early homestand is already monstrous for the season, and not-too-early trade rumors around some of the beloved members of the Seattle Kraken. In NHL News, Jeff talks about a scary scene in the Tampa Bay vs. St. Louis game that had Dylan Holloway on a stretcher before pivoting to Jonathan Quick's son and Matt Rempe becoming best friends on Halloween. No Dumb Questions has longtime member of the Kraken Pod Fam Melissa Podeszwa asking about PP being extended into OT when regulation ends. Three Stars of the Week covers everything from Jeff's recap of Taylor Swift weekend and a decision that will haunt him forever, Joey's love for the Colorado Buffaloes, picking up pizza making as a hobby, trips to Sedona, a friendly reminder to use your PTO, and an epic birthday trip to Mexico City.

Adam Tooze returns to PTO to discuss the extent to which war with China is increasingly being treated as a serious prospect in Washington and the Pentagon. We also talked about how successful, or otherwise, the Biden administration has been in constructing regional alliances against China during the last four years. And we went on to talk about why the Chinese Communist Party leadership's decisions over climate policy dwarf the US presidential election in significance. Finally, we discussed the economic slowdown in the country and Adam explained why he disagrees with analysts who see China's economic problems as primarily a consequence of increasing authoritarianism.

Tilth Soil was born out of a desire to keep some of the millions of pounds of food waste that is discarded every year out of landfills, with their mission to “feed people, not landfills.” Hear about how their sister company, Rust Belt Riders, started out hauling food waste in bicycle trailers, and has subsequently scaled up to trucks in order to handle just some of the scraps generated in Cleveland, Ohio- in 2023 they composted over 10 million pounds and that's not even all the food waste generated by Cleveland!Tilth Soil/Rust Belt Riders encourages and provides resources for others who want to divert food scraps from the waste streams of their own communities. So, whether you have interest in starting a similar business in your own community, or want to start collecting food scraps for your farm, listen to this interview to hear about what it's like to build a business sourcing food waste for composting. Or, if you're interested in the finished product, Tilth Soil offers a wide range of compost and soil blends for farmers and gardeners.   Connect With Guest:Website: tilthsoil.comInstagram: @tilth.soil Podcast Sponsors:Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: PanAmerican Seed brings to market novel, high-quality vegetables for the fresh market grower and hobby farmer.

Today, we are going to break into the uniform tranquility of a beautiful region to speak with my guest, Jason Grauer, who is the Senior Director of Farm and Innovation at the Stone Barns Center. You all may be familiar with Blue Hill at Stone Barns, the very famous and very deservingly famous restaurant in the Hudson Valley of New York, Dan Barber, being the chef there, who also authored the book The Third Plate and who has inspired chefs, eaters, and farmers the world around with his commitment to deliciousness at every level. Today we are speaking with Jason about all of the really fascinating work that they're doing at the Stone Barn Center, which is very, very interesting for those of us who are interested in market gardening or farming in general, because their financial model, their approach and their sort of nonprofit status search and ways of approaching farming systems that I think we can all appreciate being independent operators and unable to sometimes put the bill for that kind of R&D ourselves.

Send us a textThe Bums are back with a vengeance with the front page of S4:E0117!   An NFL Week 6 recap ensues, recounting action from Jets dysfunction (Saleh launched and Devante acquired); Dallas and Jerry Jones stubbornness; NHL news rings in a new season for the Chicago Blackhawks with opening night festivities; the NHL's first female coach has arrived in the form of Jessica Campbell; in NCAAF news, the Ducks pull a rule change move on the crusty cape of Buddy Ryan; the MLB playoffs are in full effect, as Eddie mined a grand salami stat for the ages; the gross ass Chicago White Sox may be hiring Two Men and a Guitar; Embiid drew a line in the PTO sand, and well, fuck him. The back page commences with another universally accredited beer review, courtesy of Fargo, ND's Drekker Brewing Co.'s “Super Mega Lager” , which is not super or mega — but a decent, and slightly sweet low ABV lager (color and clarity that is reminiscent of a Bud or Coors Light); mead and cider booze is somewhat played out or too narrow of a field; Temperance Brewing may be no more; Atlantic Brewing turned over their entire line-up in 6-months (validation on the back of RZ); Rocky teetering the booze amongst a culling (twice annually); the United Center has a history; West Loop is a whole new thing — lessons abound — along with concrete trucks; Gregorian Irish architecture on full display; the ViTri (viagra triangle) will not die; potential heresy on the horizon; Lucy's new whip - Swiss Miss (may have a Ferris Bueller moment).  All of this grandeur and some tough talk.  Don't miss it!   Oh, and nobody almost died this time.Recorded on October 17th, 2024 at B.O.M. northwest headquarters ‘The Eagle's Nest' in Chicago, IL USA.

In this episode of The Higher Standard, Chris and Saied take the stage as a dynamic duo, flying solo without their third musketeer, Haroon, who's off on PTO (probably in a pickleball tournament or hiding from the Fed). With no one to keep them in check, the two dive headfirst into a whirlwind of financial insights, market predictions, and why the MAG 7 tech giants are carrying the S&P 500 on their backs like Atlas — except Tesla, whose latest earnings had investors buzzing despite mixed results. It's a "two wise men" operation this week, and things get as real as inflation at a gas pump on payday. ➡️ Chris and Saied break down the love-hate relationship between the markets and the Fed — one's bullish, the other's just a buzzkill. They riff on whether inflation is here to stay, question if we're headed for stagflation, and poke fun at economists trying to predict a recession like it's the weather. Along the way, they tackle rising insurance premiums, paycheck-to-paycheck living, and the surreal cost of burritos ($46 for breakfast?!). With humor, hard-hitting insights, and a few Monopoly references thrown in for good measure, this episode is a wild ride through the tangled mess of today's economy.

A practice manager struggles with managing a PTO policy that leads to team members overusing their time off early in the year. In this episode of the Uncharted Podcast, Dr. Andy Roark and practice management super nerd, Stephanie Goss help a practice manager having a hard time balancing their team's use of paid time off (PTO). The manager explains that they simplified PTO, lumping sick days and vacation time together to give their staff more autonomy. However, it's backfired, leaving them frustrated as team members are either taking too much time off or asking for guidance on whether they should come in sick. Andy and Stephanie offer practical advice on how to set clear guidelines while maintaining a positive culture, how to establish boundaries without micromanaging, and how to approach the situation without becoming the "PTO villain." Let's get into this episode!
