Nature is not fixed, but ever changing. Some of the world's best known deserts were once fertile grasslands and forests, including the Sahara, the Mojave, the Kalahari, and Gobi deserts. Is it accurate to think of deserts as permanent? Ecosystem succession shows us that Nature can evolve from rock to forest as well as reverse itself back to dust or a barren state. According to National Geographic, drylands account for more than 40 percent of the world's terrestrial surface area. Human-caused desertification and soil erosion is changing the landscape of Earth, with Africa and Asia being particularly vulnerable; many in these regions rely on subsistence farming. Humans are accelerating the degradation of land through deforestation, urbanization, mining, monocrop industrial farming, and conventional ranching, however, turning land into desert is not a fixed or foregone conclusion. Our guest in this show recorded in 2023, Alejandro Carrillo, Managing Partner, Grasslands Regeneration Project for Las Damas Ranch, has been working to green the Chihuahuan desert in northern Mexico. Droughts, floods and erosion need not be permanent realities if we change the behaviors that are causing them. We have the power to align with and assist Nature in a process of evolution that benefits and sustains life. Las Damas, Alejandro Carrillo's 30,000-acre ranch, is one of the world's best known examples of what is possible on dry land, these arid and brittle environments that receive low rainfall. Due to rotational grazing and other strategies, like supporting the work of dung beetles and termites, native grasslands have proliferated. Thus, water infiltrates into more productive soil, wildlife and plant diversity thrive, encouraging a microclimate where rainfall increases. Resiliency is possible and Alejandro is here to share his remarkable, regenerative journey.

In the last ten years, he has been able to grow tremendous amounts of grasses, forbes, and legumes in a climate zone that receives only eight inches of rainfall, thanks to holistic, rational grazing management. This has benefited both his ranching endeavor and the life in general of all organisms below and above ground. He has also made rainfall more abundant by creating a microclimate for his ranch. Before joining his father's cattle ranch called Las Damas in 2004, Alejandro worked for several years in the software industry in the financial sector in various countries in the Americas and Europe.

Browns Radio Network analyst, Nathan Zegura, joins Nick Wilson and Jonathan Peterlin to discuss the latest surrounding the Browns loss on Sunday and how the team moves forward.
A new report from Verisk predicts a “new reality” in future natural catastrophes, with unprecedented global losses to exceed $152 billion annually. It's being driven by “frequency perils” − frequent events, such as daily afternoon summer storms and hurricanes, that are driving high-impact losses.Former Florida Deputy Insurance Commissioner Lisa Miller sits down with a Verisk modeler and a Florida property insurance company meteorologist and risk analyst, to discuss how catastrophe modeling works, how insurance companies use it to set homeowners rates, and its importance in understanding and mitigating extreme weather risks now and in the future.Show Notes (For full Show Notes, visit https://lisamillerassociates.com/episode-60-our-growing-catastrophe-risk/) The podcast discusses the increasing frequency and severity of storms and their impact on property insurance rates, particularly in Florida. Dr. Julia Borman is Assistant Vice President of the Regulatory and Rating Client Services Team at Verisk. It's part of the data analytic firm's Extreme Event Solutions division, which assists clients in working with regulators and rating agencies on a variety of projects, including data calls, utilizing catastrophe modeling in rating plans, and stress tests. Natalie Ferrari is a Meteorologist and Catastrophic Risk Analyst for American Integrity Insurance Company, based in Tampa, Florida. She provides data-driven insights into developing storms and their potential impacts by leveraging Verisk's modeling. Together, with host Miller, they explored the evolving landscape of catastrophic risk modeling in rate filings and regulatory processes, the intensifying impact of extreme weather, and the need for resilience and preparedness in the face of natural disasters that modeling can guide.Catastrophe Models: The Backbone of Modern InsuranceVerisk's newest report, Modeling Insured Catastrophe Losses: A Global Perspective for 2025, projects expected future global losses to exceed $152 billion annually. That's up from the $132 billion annual average loss over the past five years. Host Miller quoted Verisk Extreme Event Solutions President Rob Newbold's remarks on the September 2025 report, that “the modeled losses reflect a fundamental shift in the risk landscape. Natural catastrophe losses are no longer statistical anomalies. They are the new normal.” Borman said the report's $152 billion figure is a particularly significant one, given that the actual global losses in 2024 were around $137 billion. “Over half of it was what we call frequency peril loss. You used to hear around the industry, folks were calling things like severe thunderstorms and wildfire ‘secondary perils.' We don't call them that at Verisk anymore. They are frequency perils based on the fact that they happen often, typically within a year and those can really aggregate up into a large proportion of an insurance company's overall loss for the year,” Borman said.The catastrophe models look at a variety of different perils, including hurricanes, earthquakes, flooding, wildfires, and winter storms. “We were writing the report not just to understand the total amount of loss, but also the insurance gap that might exist around the world and where that was most prevalent,” she added.

Our guest on this week's episode is Amanda Hedberg, vice president of Strategic Initiatives at Aspire, a Chicago non-profit organization that works to place people with disabilities into the labor market. October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month. This yearly event began in 1945 and is now commemorating 80 years of acknowledging the good work that people with mental and physical disabilities bring to their jobs, including work within our supply chains. Hedberg shares how t Aspire trains people with disabilities find meaningful work, including employment in warehouses. Our DC Velocity editorial staff spent the week at CSCMP EDGE conference in National Harbor, Maryland, near the nation's capital. On today's podcast we will talk about what we learned there:Ben shares about a session on the market for industrial real estate, which includes warehouses and fulfillment centers. According to the speakers, the U.S. right now has more unused logistics space available for rent in the industrial real estate market than at any time in U.S. history. We explained how the market got to that point and what is being done to better utilize the abundant space.Ben also shares about another session on the rise of the “synthetic workforce,” which is a term for increasing applications in artificial intelligence, and specifically agentic AI. Speakers stressed that the Synthetic Workforce is not just on the horizon but is already here. Victoria shares about a session presented by Per Kristian Hong, a global lead at management consulting firm Kearney. His talk was titled “Harnessing Uncertainty: Global Supply Chains in an Era of Geopolitical Disruption.” His central message was that these turbulent times we're experiencing are the norm and that supply chain leaders need to recalibrate and move from forecasting to foresight.Supply Chain Xchange also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane. It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals. A new series is now available on Top Threats to our Supply Chains.

This Farm4Profit episode features Matt and Kelly Griggs, owners of Griggs Farms LLC in Humboldt, Tennessee — a fifth-generation family operation growing corn, soybeans, wheat, and cotton on 2,000 acres. What began in 1882 with cotton has evolved into a nationally recognized regenerative farm rooted in conservation and faith.Listeners will hear how:Matt began experimenting with cover crops back in 2011 — long before it was common — and turned those early trials into measurable success: improving soil structure, reducing runoff, and boosting water infiltration by over 1,200%.Kelly, originally from Chicago with a background in hospitality, left her corporate career to become an essential partner on the farm. She now runs equipment, manages operations, and advocates for farm wives across the country.The couple faced immense challenges — including Matt's traumatic combine accident in 2020 and Kelly's battles with cancer and autoimmune illness — and used their platform to openly share their faith, perseverance, and community support through it all.The conversation dives deep into regenerative agriculture, family legacy, and living your faith out loud, including:How they use multi-species cover crops like cereal rye, clover, radish, and buckwheat to build resilience.The importance of balancing modern technology (Case IH & John Deere) with stewardship principles.What it means to lead publicly as a family through pain, healing, and gratitude.The Griggs' work has earned national recognition, including the 2020 Mid-South High Cotton Award and features on the History Channel's “The American Farm.”You'll also hear about their community outreach — from lighting up a tractor and grain cart with Christmas lights to connecting with other farm families through events like Farmers Off the Farm Cruise (2025).The show closes with a lighthearted “Would You Rather” segment, reminding listeners that even the most accomplished farmers still love a good laugh between long harvest days.

The Paychex Business Series Podcast with Gene Marks - Coronavirus
The economy has its cheerleaders and detractors, but one thing that is keeping it propped up is the small businesses of America. The Paychex Small Business Employment Watch shows that despite the hourly earnings growth coming in below 3% for 11 straight months, it has stayed consistent at about 2.7%. This is based on real payroll numbers, and with government job numbers not based on that – and missing last week because of the shutdown – it's important to have reliable job and wage data. Gene Marks shares a new way to measure income data, plus he discusses how data doesn't reflect AI taking people's jobs in America as of yet. Listen to the podcast.

In this episode of The Anchored to Wellness Show, we're getting honest about the end-of-day ritual—wine, sugar, Netflix, scrolling—and what it's really telling you. This isn't about blame. It's about signals. If your nightly wind-down is the only way to “turn off,” your body isn't weak—your resiliency tank is low and your nervous system is asking for help. We'll unpack: – Why we reach for it: the ritual that marks “I made it” (and why culture normalizes it) – What's happening under the hood: cortisol rhythm, blood sugar swings, sleep architecture, HRV – The dependency loop: why short-term relief drains tomorrow's capacity – Resiliency > willpower: how Reset → Repair → Rebuild restores calm, focus, and steady energy No shame, no scare tactics—just physiology you can work with and small shifts that rebuild capacity. ✨ Stop managing symptoms.

In this powerful episode of the Growth Now Movement, I sit down with Michelle Rogers, a resilient entrepreneur, real estate investor, and property management company founder who has built an inspiring life through grit, perseverance, and heart. Michelle's story is not just about building a business—it's about overcoming some of life's toughest challenges and transforming pain into purpose. Michelle opens up about her multifaceted life—being a wife, a foster parent, and raising a large family—while simultaneously growing a thriving real estate business. She takes us through her journey from starting as a buy-and-hold investor to eventually launching her own property management company, showing what it takes to succeed in the competitive world of real estate. But Michelle's story goes far beyond entrepreneurship. She vulnerably shares her past, including surviving domestic abuse and the turning points that helped her rebuild her life. With the support of friends, a strong community, and her own determination, Michelle turned adversity into opportunity and discovered the power of resilience. We also dive into her upcoming book, The Resiliency Blueprint, where she outlines practical tools and strategies to help others navigate challenges, rebuild confidence, and design a life they love. Along the way, Michelle highlights the importance of self-care, personal growth, and surrounding yourself with the right people. If you've ever faced hardship or wondered how to rise above your circumstances to create true success and fulfillment, this episode is for you.

What do we do when our business feels broken? In this episode, we share practical ways we as pet sitters and dog walkers can turn setbacks—client complaints, burnout, or sudden revenue dips—into lessons that build resilience. We outline three pillars: extract one lesson from each setback, lean on a support network, and redefine success on our own terms. By scheduling true rest, strengthening policies, and setting aside emergency funds, we can recover with intention. Ultimately, healing is a process, and where we're “broken” can become the strongest part of our business. Main topics: Lessons from business setbacks Scheduling rest and recovery Support networks and vulnerability Tightening policies and finances Redefining success and goals Main takeaway: “Resiliency is really just accumulated recovery.” In pet care, we all face breaks—missed expectations, tough feedback, burnout, or a client who suddenly moves. The win isn't never breaking; it's choosing one lesson, taking one step, and stacking those wins over time. Build white space into your schedule, ask for help before the crisis, and firm up the policies that keep you safe. Keep a resilience journal to track each small comeback—because those layers of recovery become your strongest foundation Links: Check out our Starter Packs See all of our discounts!
