Sometimes rediscovering yourself looks deep and meaningful. And sometimes it looks like putting on leopard-print pants, sweating through your armpits, and walking down a runway.

A USDA loan does not have to mean farming. Jordan Blanchard works with businesses and investors using USDA backed financing for commercial projects in smaller communities across the United States and its eligible territories. Jordan explains that the USDA definition of rural generally covers a town, city, or census tract with no more than 50,000 people, as long as it is not contiguous with another urban area. That creates room for many types of projects. Excalibur Rural Capital has financed businesses ranging from almond processing to a sand terminal. The company also works heavily in hospitality and can finance commercial real estate purchases, construction, and equipment. Jordan also walks through what his team looks for before approving a project. Ownership experience comes first. They also want to see equity already available, a source for more equity if challenges arise, and collateral that supports the loan. Key topics and takeaways: What the USDA considers a rural community Why USDA business lending is focused on economic development rather than farms The types of commercial projects Excalibur Rural Capital finances Why ownership experience matters in underwriting Why all equity must go into the project before the loan funds How hospitality became a major part of USDA and SBA lending Why properties with more than one possible use can be attractive

The Central Otago District Council may dump controversial plans to dispose of treated human effluent onto farmland. It originally wanted to discard thousands of cubic metre of dried sludge on land near the small settlement of Lauder, just over 60 kilometres from Cromwell. Lauder already gets Wanaka's waste, and angry locals and Federated Farmers don't think they should be lumped with anyone's excrement. Tess Brunton reports.

Fractional CMO Madelyn Victoria got that call three months before election day. Her client had no social media strategy, and the incumbent had just decided to run again. Within 30 days, his content went from zero to 100,000 organic views in a tiny town, and on election day, he took 69% of the vote.

Alton, Illinois has been called the most haunted small town in America. It's a place where practically every building has its own ghost story, from an old penitentiary, an eroding island, and even an old 1920s resort.

Hundreds of pro ballplayers are wearing belts made in a Texas town of 3,000 people. Matt Hadden is the third-generation president to run Pioneer Fit, a company his grandfather started in 1979 selling sports gear out of the back of his trunk in Nebraska. He joins AAM President Scott Paul today and shares how the business grew by taking on the custom work no other manufacturer wanted, and how one question from an employee — "Why don't we make baseball belts?" — opened that market in two seasons. He's also candid about what making things here costs: Pioneer's belts can run twice the price of an import, and both of the company's patents have been knocked off. He explains why he still buys American leather and American buckles anyway, and what that choice means for the people who work alongside him in the shop.

Send us Fan MailOver the past couple of years, there has been a lot of discourse regarding the ethics of AI. It seems that in just the few years that AI has become available to the public, it has infiltrated our lives. It's almost impossible to avoid. It's being used in the workplace, on social media, to send emails or deal with complicated social situations…the list goes on and on. And those are just the immediate effects that we can visualize now. That's not even getting into what AI is doing to our environment, to our social skills, to the nature of learning, and our perception of reality. So it makes sense that AI is at the center of the case I'm going to be talking about today. Because, as I posited this question to myself last week…if AI is everywhere, it must've already presented itself within the landscape of true crime, right? 1) https://abc7news.com/post/open-ai-microsoft-face-lawsuit-chatgpts-alleged-role-connecticut-murder-suicide/18275966/2) https://abc7ny.com/post/chatgpt-allegedly-played-role-greenwich-connecticut-murder-suicide-mother-tech-exec-son/17721940/?userab=kfsn_content_recs-582*variant_a_control_kfsn-2512%2Ckabc_content_recs-577*variant_a_control-2480%2Cwls_content_recs-584*variant_b_trending_wls-2517%2Cwtvd_content_recs-585*variant_a_control_wtvd-2518%2Cktrk_content_recs-587*variant_a_control_ktrk-2522%2Cwpvi_content_recs-586*variant_a_control_wpvi-2520%2Cotv_web_content_rec-539*variant_c_trending-2268%2Cotv_web_topic-580*variant_a_topic-2508%2Cotv_search_page_design_unification-546*variant_b_search_redesign-2300%2Cvertical_video_web-519*enabled-2164%2Cabcn_popular_reads_exp_followup-648*variant_a_control-3455%2Cotv_mobile_web_content_recs-639*variant_a_control-3429%2Ckgo_content_recs-583*variant_a_control_kgo-2514%2Cotvlink_abcnnav-576*variant_c_localnews-33163) https://www.npr.org/2025/12/12/nx-s1-5642599/a-new-lawsuit-blames-chatgpt-for-a-murder-suicide4) https://www.cbsnews.com/news/open-ai-microsoft-sued-chatgpt-murder-suicide-connecticut/5) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Suzanne_Adams6) https://greenwichfreepress.com/news/obituaries/suzanne-eberson-adams-83-236015/ Support the show

Years Broke in Nashville: How I Finally Wrote a #1 Radio Hit | 100% WILD Podcast Ep. 479 In this episode of the 100% WILD Podcast, Matt Drury and Tim Kjellesvik sit down with hit country music songwriter Josh Dunne. Originally from Missouri, Josh shares his incredible 12-year journey through Nashville's publishing machine. From writing Brantley Gilbert's hit "What Happens in a Small Town" to collaborating with Morgan Wallen and driving ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons to Carrabba's in a beat-up Pathfinder. The guys break down the evolution of modern country music, "bro-country," and how hunting culture, backroads, and 20-pound fishing line constantly inspire mainstream lyrics. Beyond songwriting secrets, Josh dives into his passion for public land whitetail hunting in Tennessee. He recounts how a DeerCast "Green Light" prediction convinced him to head to the woods leading to an incredible public land buck harvest using the Mad Growl call. Josh then sings a live acoustic performance of an unreleased song dedicated to his late father, honoring the emotional bond of missing your primary hunting partner when fall arrives. 00:00:00 – Welcome to Bass Pro Studios: Pre-Season Prep & Country Music 00:00:32 – Introducing Hit Country Songwriter Josh Dunne 00:02:40 – Writing "Give Away the Farm" Inspired by Drury Outdoors 00:04:05 – "What Happens in a Small Town": Scoring a #1 Hit with Brantley Gilbert 00:05:10 – Inside the Nashville Songwriting Machine: Writer Shares vs. Publishing 00:08:45 – The Evolution of "Bro-Country" & Mainstream Country Music 00:13:30 – How Hunting, Fishing, and Mono Line Inspire Country Lyrics 00:16:10 – Writing Rooms with Morgan Wallen & ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons 00:18:25 – The Carrabba's Story: Driving Billy Gibbons in a Beat-Up Pathfinder 00:20:42 – Outdoor Channel "Whitetail Legends" Poster Drama & Internet Trolls 00:25:15 – "Nepo Babies" in Music and the Outdoor Industry 00:31:35 – Meeting Matt Drury's Aunt Nancy on Broadway in 2009 00:33:40 – Losing Your First-Call Hunting Partner: Writing Songs for Dad 00:39:50 – Josh Dunne's Biggest Whitetail: The Small-Rack, Big-Memories Wall 00:41:30 – DeerCast Green Light: Tagging a 130" Tennessee Public Land Buck 00:49:00 – LIVE PERFORMANCE: Josh Dunne Plays His Heartfelt Hunting Tribute Song Join the Rack Pack Facebook Group :/ n73gskjt7bfb2ngc   Get ahead of your Game with DeerCast available on iOS and Android devices App Store: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/deerc...

"Are you ready to SHUT UP?!?" -- Sen. Grassley

What do you do when you leave the uniform behind, but still feel that sense of mission? In this episode, Dwight Boddorf talks about a journey that took many unexpected turns. He went from a tough beginning to joining the Marine Corps, and faced experiences that changed his life. Dwight shares moments that challenged him in ways he never saw coming, and explains how those struggles didn't end when his service did. We also talk about how a chance opportunity led Dwight to help other veterans find their way through a complex system. That work eventually brought him into a new kind of leadership. He also shares how military skills can be useful in unexpected places, even where you might not expect. This conversation is about resilience, purpose, and what it means to keep going when you're not sure what comes next. It's a story of finding your way again and realizing that your mission may still be ahead of you.

Galva Mayor Rich Volkert discussed several city projects, community improvements, and upcoming events during an appearance on Wake Up Tri-Counties following the Galva City Council meeting held September 8th. One highlight of the meeting was a $35,000 donation from the Freedom Fest organization to help fund Galva's annual fireworks celebration. Volkert praised the organization and the many volunteers who spend the year holding events and meals to raise money for the fireworks. The donation included $12,000 from Berkshire Hathaway, with the remainder raised through the Freedom Fest Committee's efforts. Mayor Volkert said the continued fundraising allows the city to provide a fireworks celebration for the entire community. Road Work Continues Road improvements were also discussed, including the city's recent work on roads leading toward the high school and northeast part of Galva. The city spent approximately $250,000 on a chip-and-seal project this year. Volkert acknowledged that residents have expressed concerns about the dust and loose chips but said the work is part of a long-term strategy to maintain the roads while the city prepares for much more expensive infrastructure projects. The road from downtown toward the high school will eventually require sewer work followed by a complete road reconstruction, a project Mayor Volkert estimated could cost approximately $2.5 million. Because of those costs, the city is using chip-and-seal work to keep roads in serviceable condition until larger projects can be completed. Washington Park Fence Planned The city is also moving forward with improvements at Washington Park, including plans to install a fence around portions of the playground equipment. Mayor Volkert said the approximately $8,600 project is intended to help keep children safely away from the nearby street, which can become particularly busy when trains block traffic in the area. The city has also installed a couple of chairs at the park using funding connected to the wind farm near Bishop Hill. Wiley Park Playground Improvements Work on the new playground equipment at Wiley Park is nearing completion. Mayor Volkert said the playground improvements were selected by community members, although installation has taken longer than anticipated because of issues involving the delivery and setup of some equipment. The city hopes to have the project completed soon, weather permitting. Cemetery Cleanup Set for October Galva's annual cemetery cleanup is scheduled for October 11th, with residents asked to remove decorations by that date. Items can be placed back at the cemetery beginning October 16th. Mayor Volkert also said city workers, along with people from the Kewanee Resource Center, plan to conduct additional work on veterans' graves in October. Fall City Cleanup and Tree Sale Galva's Fall City Cleanup Week is scheduled for October 28th through October 31st. Residents are encouraged to contact City Hall in advance regarding certain pickup needs. The city is also participating in a fall tree sale through the Henry County Soil and Water Conservation District. Galva will pay half the cost of qualifying trees for residents. Residents interested in participating need to stop by City Hall and complete the necessary paperwork before the deadline. The city is also continuing its effort to inventory trees located throughout Galva as it works to maintain its designation as a Tree City. New Galva Slogan Promotes Music Mayor Volkert was also asked about the city's recently adopted slogan, "Where Music Lives, Small Town, Big Sound." He said the effort is still developing, with local organizations and John Taylor working on ways to promote the slogan and Galva's music heritage. Mayor Volkert believes the effort will become more noticeable when the community reaches the spring and summer event season again. Changes to Fireworks Ordinance One of the more significant changes discussed was Galva's updated fireworks ordinance. Under the new rules, sparklers will not be permitted on public property, including city parks. Residents may still use sparklers on their own private property. More significantly, violations of the fireworks ordinance will now be treated as a misdemeanor, rather than simply resulting in a warning-type ticket. Mayor Volkert said the changes were prompted by growing concerns over fireworks being discharged for extended periods before and after the Fourth of July holiday, sometimes late into the night and near other residents' homes. He said the city wants to prevent potential fires and injuries while also addressing concerns from elderly residents, families, and pet owners. Reminder to Drivers as School Year Begins Mayor Volkert also urged motorists to use extra caution around Galva schools now that students are back in session. Drivers should obey posted speed limits and remain alert for children walking, riding bicycles or using scooters and other devices. He said the city is also looking at ways to educate younger students about safety around streets and traffic. Residents with questions about the projects, cleanup schedules, or other city business are encouraged to contact Galva City Hall for additional information.

Is life on the road really as traumatic as some musicians make it sound?Kurt, Tully, Kelley and Neil compare today's touring culture with the years they spent chasing the dream in vans, trailers and buses—sometimes playing nearly 200 shows a year without knowing whether success would ever come.They also discuss whether country award shows still represent country fans, apologize for an interview that didn't go as planned and react to an alleged $1.3 million fake-NFL-player scam.The guys then pause to remember the 25th anniversary of September 11, share where they were that morning and reflect on the unity America experienced afterward.Later, “Dipshidiot” returns with terrible drivers, driving-range invaders and a chocolate-eating treadmill walker. The episode closes with candid advice for aspiring country artists about writing-room etiquette, respecting veteran songwriters and always remaining open to the song that could change everything.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The stench in St. Mary's, Newfoundland gets so bad sometimes, it can take your breath away. The culprit? More than 100 giant, leaking vats of fermenting capelin in an old abandoned fish sauce plant, right in the centre of town. For years, residents pleaded for help to clear the vats out. But it took an unexpected turn to finally get some relief. When CBC's Mary Catherine McIntosh went to St. Mary's, she found a town fighting a 25-year stench - and then tracked down the man who caused it.
