Show Notes: Are You Building a Fun Life? Founder freedom is not just about getting more time and money. It is about building a life you can actually enjoy. In this episode of The TriMetric Roadmap Podcast, Scott Landis and Jeff Jacob continue the Life Quality series with the fifth Life Quality factor: Fun & Recreation. This episode asks a simple but important question: Is the business actually supporting the life you set out to build? Scott and Jeff talk about how many founders become so serious, responsible, and consumed by the business that they almost forget how to enjoy life. Fun can start to feel irresponsible. Recreation can feel unproductive. Rest can feel like something that has to be earned after everything else is done. But if the business is producing revenue, opportunity, and responsibility, yet there is no room for joy, play, rest, hobbies, adventure, laughter, or recreation, then something is still out of alignment. Jeff explains that he refuses to not enjoy his life. That shows up in how he hires, who he works with, the boundaries he sets, and how he thinks about work, family, and purpose. He challenges founders not to wait until retirement to enjoy the life they are building. Scott shares that Fun & Recreation is one of the Life Quality areas he has had to be more intentional about. He explains that some people naturally gravitate toward joy, play, and adventure, while others are wired to carry responsibility, solve problems, and keep moving to the next thing. For those founders, receiving joy can take practice. Scott and Jeff also discuss why fun is not the opposite of discipline. Recreation helps re-create capacity. Healthy enjoyment can restore creativity, energy, relationships, and perspective. It can help the founder show up as a fuller, healthier version of themselves. They also connect this factor to founder freedom. If a founder cannot take a weekend off, play with their kids, go on a trip, enjoy a hobby, or laugh without guilt, then the business may still own too much of their life. Freedom is not just having options. Freedom is being able to enjoy them. Scott also speaks to founders nearing retirement or succession. After 20 or 30 years of building a business, identity can become deeply tied to the company. That makes Life Quality especially important. The goal is not just to exit the business. The goal is to know what kind of life the business has been helping you build. The episode closes with a practical challenge: start small. Put something on the calendar that gives life back to you. A date night, a hike, a round of golf, a game with your family, a recurring daddy-daughter date, or a simple moment of celebration can begin moving the needle. Because fun is not a distraction from the life you are building. It is part of the life you are building. In this episode: Why founders can forget how to enjoy life Why Fun & Recreation is part of Life Quality How responsibility can crowd out joy Why rest and recreation are not laziness How enjoyment restores creativity, energy, and perspective Why freedom is not just having options, but enjoying them How retirement and succession planning connect to Life Quality Why founders need to schedule joy before the business consumes every open space Simple ways to start rebuilding fun and recreation into your life Take the TriMetric Quiz at TriMetricQuiz.com. Next episode: Love & Intimacy — why founder freedom has to include the closest relationships in your life, and why success in business should not come at the cost of emotional connection at home.

Sept. 29, 2026 - Historic preservation advocates are sounding the alarm about sweeping regulatory changes proposed by the Trump administration. We discuss the potential shakeup to the implementation of the National Historic Preservation Act with Daniel Mackay, deputy commissioner for historic preservation at the State Office of Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation.

It's the latest installment in our monthly series, Town by Town. Each month, we spend a whole hour learning about one of the state's 252 towns and cities. At the end of the hour, we spin a big wheel to decide what town is next.This hour: Lemington, in Essex County. If you look at a map of Vermont, let your eyes wander to the far eastern border of the state, and then travel up, nearly to Canada. Lemington sits right there on the border with New Hampshire, along the Connecticut River. It's population is under a hundred people. In the town's whole history, its population never really topped 200. There's a lot of forest there, a lot of logging, and people who love the land.We're joined by Sharon Ellingwood, an Administrative Services Coordinator with the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks, and Recreation who grew up in Lemington and has since moved back. We also hear from Joe Daley Jr., a lifelong resident of Lemington who is a selectman there and the towns road manager, Murray Duke, the town moderator, and Ray Gorman, a county commissioner for Coös County just over the New Hampshire border who grew up in Lemington and owns a camp there. And, student reporter from the University of Vermont Community News Service Emily Rodin and Myla van Lynde bring us a story about the first ever Columbia Bridge Barn Dance, a recent event held on the covered bridge that connects Lemington, Vermont with Columbia, New Hampshire that celebrated the deep connection between the two towns. Broadcast live on Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2026, at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.Have questions, comments or tips?

How can you interseed resilience and diversity into a family business and a cropping system whether you are in Nebraska, Virginia, or Upstate New York? Keith Berns shares about the history of Green Cover with Jeff, Summer, and Eric and how building the internal infrastructure was so important as Green Cover grew from a family operation to having more than 60 employees. Keith emphasized that resilience and having people with diverse skills and experiences are critical to success in business and farming.   As an educator and former teacher, Keith relayed how field days, on-farm research, and educational exchanges are rewarding and energizing. Keith told about the experiences of two farmers from Minnesota and South Dakota (Rye Carlson and Alex Frasier) who continue to interseed cover crops (e.g., dwarf mustard, flax, phacelia, oats, rye, etc.) into corn and soybeansThe 12th Edition of Green Cover's Soil Health Resource Guide, along with other soil health and cover crop resources, are available on their website. Additionally, farmers in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions will be interested in attending the Regenerative Nexus summit that Green Cover is hosting in Chapel Hill, North Carolina on November 10 - 12, 2026. Tune in, like, and subscribe anywhere you get your podcasts or 4thesoil.org/podcastAs always, we encourage you to cooperate with other farmers, graziers, and gardeners for peer-to-peer learning.

Show Notes A business that creates money but destroys your health is still out of alignment. In this episode of The TriMetric Roadmap Podcast, Scott Landis and Jeff Jacob continue the Life Quality series with the fourth Life Quality factor: Health & Energy. This episode looks at one of the most common hidden costs of founder dependency: the founder's body becomes the shock absorber for the business. When the business lacks systems, margin, leadership, clarity, or shared responsibility, the founder often absorbs that pressure physically and emotionally. Late nights, skipped meals, poor sleep, stress eating, constant adrenaline, screen overload, and always being “on” can all become warning signs. Scott and Jeff explain why health and energy are not separate from business performance. They are directly connected to how a founder leads, decides, delegates, communicates, and shows up for the people depending on them. Jeff shares a helpful picture of burnout using a water heater. When the tank is full and the fire is burning, it can do its job and pour out. But when the tank is empty and the fire keeps burning, the system starts to burn up. In the same way, founders need to pay attention to the difference between being filled and simply escaping pressure. The episode also explores common escape mechanisms. Food, alcohol, TV, scrolling, and other distractions are not always wrong, but they become unhealthy when they replace the things that actually restore energy. Scott and Jeff also connect Health & Energy back to previous Life Quality factors. Trusted people can help notice when something is off. Personal growth helps a founder raise the standard for how they care for their body. And founder freedom requires the physical and emotional capacity to enjoy the life being built. Scott shares part of his own health journey and how an unexpected autoimmune issue gave him more empathy for people struggling with health and energy. Jeff shares about his own burnout experience and how he had to learn what actually filled him instead of just numbing the pressure. The conversation closes with practical starting points: sleep, walking, strength training, protein, water, breathing, screen limits, stress recovery, morning routines, labs, checkups, and using AI to help track personal health data. The goal is not a total life overhaul overnight. The goal is to start simple and raise the standard. Because the business does not just need your time. It needs a healthy version of you. In this episode: Why the founder's body often absorbs business stress How burnout builds when pressure keeps increasing but energy is not restored The difference between escaping and actually being filled Why fatigue affects decision quality and leadership How health connects to Business Health and Executive Performance Why taking care of yourself is stewardship, not selfishness How trusted people can help you notice warning signs Simple ways to start improving health and energy Why founder freedom must include the energy to enjoy the life you are building Take the TriMetric Quiz at TriMetricQuiz.com. Next episode: Fun & Recreation — why joy, play, rest, and enjoyment are not just extras after the work is done, but part of building a life that is actually worth working for.

What happens to connection when life changes the shape of a relationship? In this conversation, Cait sits down with author, actress, podcast host, and mother of four Sarah Wright Olsen to explore the support that makes ambition possible, the painful experience that gave deeper meaning to Sarah's newest creation, and the simple family ritual that became something much bigger.

Mike Schur calls Paramount's acquisition of Warner Bros. a “nightmare scenario” for Hollywood — and now that David Ellison has cleared the biggest obstacle to getting the deal done, he's even more alarmed about what comes next. “It's gasoline on a fire,” the Parks and Recreation co-creator and Dig producer tells Elaine Low, pointing to an industry already hollowed out by years of consolidation. “I hate to be doomsday-ish here… but the ecosystem is just shrinking and shrinking and shrinking.” What does that nightmare look like? Fewer buyers, fewer jobs and ultimately fewer kinds of shows getting made — and, Schur fears, even HBO may finally be vulnerable after surviving one corporate owner after another. One of the loudest voices against the merger, Schur is particularly skeptical that the concessions Paramount made to Rob Bonta and 11 other state AGs will provide much protection. “All of these provisions, they're only meaningful if they're enforced. Who's enforcing this?” he asks of the proposed consent decree. He has equally sharp words for Ellison's suggestion that Paramount could leave Los Angeles amid the antitrust fight. “This person wants to win the hearts and minds of this industry that he is now the most important player in, arguably — and his opening salvo is, ‘Give me what I want, or I'm going to Nashville,'” Schur says. “This is not a good way to earn our trust or respect.” Plus: Elaine and Natalie Jarvey dig into what Ankler staffers are watching closely through the fall across the TV and film business, from DC superhero-horror film Clayface to Mark Rober's new show on Netflix.

The 2010s were a transformation decade for television. By 2013 Netflix had introduced the concepts of streaming and binge-watching, and within a few years Hulu, Apple TV, Prime Video, and other streamers would also get into the original programming game. These new services green lit high-concept, expensive projects, leading to an entertainment arms race for cutting-edge creators and big stars. Legacy media had to take increasingly big swings to remain relevant, and the result is an incredibly competitive crop of series that, 10-plus years later, still remain commercially and critically relevant. That's especially true in the comedy space, so join the Great Pop Culture Debate as we attempt to name the best TV Comedy Series of the 2010s.Shows discussed: “Parks and Recreation,” “The Good Place,” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “Schitt's Creek,” “Veep,” “30 Rock,” “Broad City,” “New Girl,” “Superstore,” “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,” “Community,” “Fleabag,” “Grace & Frankie,” “Black-ish,” “Bob's Burgers”Join host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Amma Marfo, Brendan Hay, Joelle Boedecker, and Paul Caiola from the “That Aged Well” podcast as they discuss and debate 16 of the most beloved comedies to air on American TV between 2010 and 2019.For the warm-up to this episode, in which we discuss additional 2010s comedies that didn't make the bracket, become a Patreon supporter of the podcast today.

Stephanie Wittels Wachs is the CEO and cofounder of Lemonada Media, host of the award-winning podcast Last Day, and author of Last Day: How to Stop Losing Our Loved Ones to the Opioid Crisis. But none of this work would exist without her younger brother, Harris Wittels. Harris – the beloved writer, producer and comedian known for Parks and Recreation and Master of None – died of an opioid overdose in 2015 at just 30 years old. Before his death, Stephanie watched someone she loved cycle through addiction, treatment and relapse while her family struggled to understand what they were supposed to do. In this deeply personal conversation, Stephanie tells Zac about the call when Harris first revealed his OxyContin addiction, the mistakes she believes her family made with the information they had at the time, and the moment she finally understood that her brother wasn't choosing to hurt them – he was sick. More than a decade later, Stephanie has devoted much of her life to understanding the questions she couldn't answer then. She and Zac talk about opioid addiction, relapse, medication-assisted treatment, 12-step recovery, harm reduction, Narcan, boundaries, grief, guilt, and why there may not be one path to recovery. At its heart, this is a conversation about something millions of families struggle with: how do you help someone you love when you can't make them get sober? Stephanie's new book – Last Day: How to Stop Losing Our Loved Ones to the Opioid Crisis – is available now: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Last-Day/Stephanie-Wittels-Wachs/9781668093184 Connect with Stephanie: https://www.instagram.com/wittelstephanie/ Listen to Last Day: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/last-day/id1468896686 More about Lemonada: https://lemonadamedia.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com Connect with Zac https://www.instagram.com/zwclark/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/zac-c-746b96254/ https://www.tiktok.com/@zacwclark https://www.strava.com/athletes/55697553 https://twitter.com/zacwclark If you or anyone you know is struggling, please do not hesitate to contact Release Recovery: (914) 588-6564 releaserecovery.com @releaserecovery Learn more about your ad choices.

We haven't talked much about the state's wildfires in several weeks, but that doesn't mean things are all quiet. In fact, some fires are still underway and some new ones sparked just this weekend. And between the ongoing fires and the more devastating fires from earlier this year, some of the recreation areas Utahns love to enjoy have seen damage. In this segment, Greg and Holly take a closer look at how the fires could affect Utah's recreation industry long into the future.

The Spanish Football Association has announced a new programme that will make fertility treatments such as IVF and egg freezing available to female players and referees, but what difference will it make and how does this move compare to support offered for professional sportswomen globally? Margie Davenport, Professor in Kinesiology, Sport and Recreation at the University of Alberta and retired Team Canada synchronized swimmer explains. Three kinds of heart attacks that primarily affect women have been redesignated 'primary' attacks in an effort to improve diagnosis and treatment in an area of medicine where women have historically been 'deprioritised'. BBC health reporter Philippa Roxby explains the changes.In rural Rwanda dust is hard to escape - it's on the roads, in the fields, and for those living in homes with bare-earth floors, it's dusty inside too.

Segunda parte de nuestro especial Emmy . La semana pasada repasamos los nominados de las Creative Arts; hoy cerramos con los ganadores, las sorpresas más gordas de la gala y algo que nunca habíamos hecho: comparar quién predijo mejor la noche, si el consenso de Gold Derby o el dinero de verdad puesto en Polymarket y Kalshi (spoiler: hay ganadoras que iban con un 1% de opciones ). Y claro, le dedicamos toda la segunda mitad del programa a la gran triunfadora de la noche: Widow's Bay , la comedia de terror de Apple TV creada por Katie Dippold (Parks and Recreation, Ghostbusters) con Hiro Murai (Atlanta) dirigiendo el piloto. Ambientada en un pueblo costero de Nueva Inglaterra maldito desde hace siglos, con Matthew Rhys, Stephen Root y Kate O'Flynn liderando el reparto, se llevó catorce Emmys en su primera temporada — el récord de comedia debutante más arrasadora de la historia, batido dos años seguidos. Con un 98% en Rotten Tomatoes y ya renovada para una segunda temporada, hay tela para rato . Participan: XeviPanda (esta vez no está solo) y Eusebio Arias Edita: Xevi (esta vez un poco apurado) Tema: Un Cover to guapo de Lana del Rey (no tuve tiempo de hacer canción con la IA, os la debo)

The Fairfield Hills Edible Fruit Trail in Newtown, Connecticut, is more than a walking path. It's a place where people can connect with nature, learn about native plants, harvest fresh food and come together as a community. On this episode of Open Space Radio, we're joined by Amy Mangold, director of Newtown Parks and Recreation, and her son, Andrew Mangold, whose vision helped bring the fruit trail to life. Now celebrating 10 years, the fruit trail features fruit trees, berry bushes, native wildflowers and medicinal plants along a one-third-mile section of the Fairfield Hills campus. What began as an ambitious idea has grown into a unique community amenity that brings people of all ages together while creating opportunities to learn, volunteer and reconnect with the natural world. Throughout this conversation, Amy and Andrew share how the trail came to be, the community effort that helped get it started and the many ways they've seen it make an impact over the past decade. From helping people discover native edible plants to creating a space for multigenerational connection, the fruit trail demonstrates how parks can be reimagined to serve communities in new and unexpected ways. Tune in to the full episode below to learn how to: Create unique park experiences that connect people with nature, food and their communities. Build community support for an unconventional idea and navigate the process of bringing it to life. Use edible landscapes to create opportunities for education, volunteerism and multigenerational connection. Start small, learn along the way and create sustainable projects that can inspire other communities to do the same. Whether it's an edible landscape, a community orchard or simply planting a native tree, Amy and Andrew remind us that meaningful change can start with something small. As Andrew says, the goal is to keep learning from what works, share those lessons with others and make these kinds of projects a more common part of our parks and communities.

Are you always growing and evaluating what you want to accomplish? Keith Berns of Green Cover shares his insights on that question as a co-business owner, farmer, and educator of diverse, customizable cover crop mixtures with Jeff, Summer, and Eric. Keith and his brother Brian and their families started Green Cover in 2008 in Bladen, Nebraska and Iola, Kansas. Since that time, their core value of always growing has taken root in many tangible ways. Today, Green Cover has 60 employees, specializes in 120 different types of single species cover crops, and helps keep more than one million acres of soil covered and continuously growing. They are educators at heart and always start with what you want to accomplish, when thinking about potential cover crop mixtures. To assist their customers around the country, Green Cover developed their SmartMix Calculator to guide the decision process about goals, timing, and placement. Additionally, they are continually evaluating new cover crop species and have recently introduced okra, coriander, and a variety of cucurbits into different blends. Along with the SmartMix Calculator, you can find and access on their website Green Cover's Annual Soil Health Resource Guide that covers a range of topics from soil health to human nutrition connections. Additionally, they are hosting their Regenerative Nexus summit in Chapel Hill, North Carolina on November 10 - 12, 2026. Tune in, like, and subscribe anywhere you get your podcasts or 4thesoil.org/podcastAs always, we encourage you to cooperate with other farmers, graziers, and gardeners for peer-to-peer learning.

Thinking about a move? Here are the things to know before moving to Grand Rapids that most people don't find out until they've already lived here. From surprising commute times to what your money really buys, this is the local's guide to getting settled the right way.⏱️VIDEO CHAPTERS Introduction (0:00) Commute & Getting Around (0:30) Outdoor Life & Recreation (1:05) Biking Community (1:40) Flying In & Out: Gerald R. Ford Airport (2:23) Cost of Living (3:08) Final Thoughts (3:56)Grand Rapids Commute and Getting AroundOne of the biggest surprises for newcomers is just how far you can live from downtown Grand Rapids and still have an easy commute. In most major metro areas, thirty minutes barely gets you past the city limits. Here, that same thirty minutes can put you in a small town, on a few acres of land, or on a lake, and you are still a short drive from downtown. Average commute times run around 20 to 22 minutes, without the gridlock you would expect in Chicago, LA, or New York. That means buyers can often trade a slightly longer drive for more land and more house for their money.Outdoor Living Built Into Everyday LifeOutdoor access here is not just a weekend trip away; it is part of daily life. The Grand River runs straight through downtown and fills with steelhead and salmon every fall and spring, so fly fishing minutes from the office is completely normal. Add in dozens of inland lakes for boating, Lake Michigan beach towns like Grand Haven and Saugatuck about 45 minutes to an hour away, and wooded hiking trails at Millennium Park, Almont Park, and Provin Trails, and it is easy to see why so many transplants fall in love with the lifestyle here.A Bigger Biking Community Than You'd ExpectGrand Rapids has been ranked among the most bike-friendly cities in the country, and the trail network backs it up. The Grand River Greenway is on track to connect more than 80 miles from downtown all the way to Lake Michigan, with mountain bike systems offering over 100 miles of singletrack nearby. Group rides are easy to find and join, and they are one of the best ways to get to know the city and the surrounding areas.An Airport That Actually Makes Travel EasyGerald R. Ford International Airport offers nonstop service to more than 35 destinations across seven airlines, so a connecting flight often is not necessary. On a normal day, you can arrive about 45 minutes before boarding, move through security without a wait, and still have time for coffee before your flight, a very different experience than O'Hare or Atlanta.What to Know About Cost of LivingCost of living in Grand Rapids runs meaningfully below the national average, with groceries about 10 percent below average and utilities, healthcare, and transportation close to national norms. Housing is the area to watch. The average home sale price in Kent County is currently around $400,000, with homes selling in about six days on average, often above asking price. It is still far more affordable than Chicago, Denver, or the coasts, but it is no longer the deal it was a few years ago.If you are considering a move to Grand Rapids, the May Group at RE/MAX would love to help you plan it out and answer any questions along the way.Thinking about moving to Grand Rapids?

On this Summer Friday, we've put together some of our favorite recent interviews, including: Katie Gaddini, sociologist, a visiting scholar at Stanford University, an associate professor of sociology at the Social Research Institute, University College London (UCL) and a research associate at the University of Johannesburg department of sociology, and the author of Esther's Army: The Christian Women Who Power the American Right (WW Norton, 2026), talks about her research into the activism of right-wing Christian women and their leadership of the political evangelical movement. Ian Shapiro, professor of political science and global affairs at Yale University, a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the author of After the Fall: From the End of History to the Crisis of Democracy, How Politicians Broke Our World (Basic Books, 2026), traces the breakdown in democratic institutions to missteps by Western leaders following the fall of the Soviet Union. Isaac Butler, culture historian, critic, podcaster and the author of The Perfect Moment: God, Sex, Art, and the Birth of America's Culture Wars (Bloomsbury, 2026), revisits the late 1980s start of the culture wars as the religious right took on the contemporary art world. As the number of adults who report reading books has declined, Rose Horowitch, staff writer for The Atlantic, argues that we're living in a "post-literate world" and talks about what that means for society. As part of the yearlong series "Wild NYC," Marielle Anzelone, urban botanist and ecologist and the founder of NYC Wildflower Week, and Clara Holmes, plant ecologist at New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, talk about the challenges facing local wildflowers and native plants and how to preserve them. These interviews were lightly polished up and edited for time, the original versions are available here: The Political Power of Christian Right Women (July 22) Where Western Leaders Went Wrong (May 8) Where the Culture Wars Began (June 23) Our 'Post-Literate World' (July 8) Wild NYC - Wildflowers (June 10) Photo: Narrow-leaved Blue-eyed Grass - native wildflower with grasslike leaves and small blue-violet flowers.

DopeyCon Tickets: https://buytickets.at/thedopeyfoundation/2216905 PATREON SAVES on DOPEYCON TICKETS: www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast This week on the Dopey Dose! Dave opens the Wednesday Dose of Dopey with gratitude, recovery reflections and a reminder that it is possible to restart your day at any moment. A Canadian listener recounts ceremonially burying—and urinating on—his remaining cocaine while tripping on acid, while Northeast Ohio Bob remembers the drug-fueled chaos of Nelson Ledges Quarry Park. Then Stephanie Wittels Wachs joins Dave to discuss her new book, Last Day, and the death of her brother, beloved Parks and Recreation writer and comedian Harris Wittels. Stephanie remembers growing up and experimenting with weed, mushrooms, acid and whippets alongside Harris, his obsessive love of Phish and the moment his casual drug use became an urgent dependence on pills and heroin. Harris admitted spending $4,000 a month on pills while his career was exploding, entered treatment twice and died from an overdose shortly afterward. Stephanie explains how losing Harris transformed her into an advocate for harm reduction, overdose prevention and drug-policy reform. She and Dave discuss SafeSpot, Kimber and Stephen Murray, supervised consumption sites, the shame that forces people to use alone and the importance of keeping people alive without demanding that they become sober on someone else's timetable. The conversation closes with an honest discussion of grief, therapy, purpose and gratitude. Stephanie describes how writing and caring for her daughter gradually helped her build a larger life around the permanent loss of Harris. All that and more on the brand new Wednesday Dose of Dopey!
