    The Thriving Farmer Podcast
    348. Smarter Farming: Sensors, Drones & Automation with Nathan Rosenberg

    The Thriving Farmer Podcast

    A Note from Michael: The Thriving Farmer Podcast is currently on pause as we navigate a busy season on the farm. While we're taking this break, we're excited to share Farm in Focus, a special series of short, focused conversations recorded earlier this year. These bite-sized episodes highlight practical insights from farmers and experts across the industry. We hope they're helpful and encouraging as you continue your farming journey. How can technology help farmers save labor, increase efficiency, and monitor their farms in real time? In this Farm in Focus episode, Michael is joined by Nathan Rosenberg, CEO and co-founder of FarmBlox, to explore the biggest trends shaping farm technology today. From robotics to sensors to drones, Nathan breaks down which innovations truly move the needle — and which ones are more hype than help. Nathan explains why labor-saving tools are the top priority for most farms today, how sensors can automate tasks like monitoring maple syrup sap runs, and why theft prevention is becoming a critical need in orchards and high-value crop production. He also shares practical advice for farmers interested in adopting new technology without getting overwhelmed or oversold. Whether you're curious about automation or just want smarter ways to solve farm pain points, this conversation will help you understand what's worth paying attention to — and what to ignore.   In this episode, you'll hear about: Farm Tech Trends: • Why labor is the biggest cost driving innovation [1:53] • Where robotics and remote sensing are making the biggest impact [04:10] Real-World Applications: • How sensors can automate maple syrup production and orchard monitoring [04:32] • Why theft prevention is becoming a major tech need in agriculture [07:20] Drones & Data: • What drones can (and can't) do for farmers [09:55] • Using real-time monitoring to catch issues early [10:50] Practical Advice for Farmers: • Why "start small" is the smartest approach to adopting new tech • How to identify the pain points worth solving before investing About the Guest: Nathan Rosenberg is the CEO and Co-Founder of FarmBlox, a platform that gives farmers tools to build their own automation systems — connecting sensors, equipment, and real-time data to a simple app. With a background in robotics engineering and over a decade of experience building large-scale IoT networks, Nathan brings a deep understanding of how automation, AI, and practical engineering intersect on real farms.

    What if the key to growing your travel business isn't about doing more, but about getting clearer on what you're actually saying? In this Ask Us Anything episode, Whitney and Brianna respond to a listener who's ready to pivot away from high-volume, promotion-driven marketing toward a quieter, more strategic approach. They tackle five questions: how to market without urgency or deals, what destination intelligence looks like in practice, how to educate without over-explaining, how to block out industry noise, and what signals separate high-consideration clients from bargain hunters. This conversation offers a reset on how to move from noise to nuance in the way you position and communicate your value as a travel advisor.

    Divorce season is in full swing, and for many listeners, that means overwhelm, fear, and financial uncertainty. Susan Guthrie welcomes back two of her favorite returning experts, Karen Chellew and Catherine Shanahan of My Divorce Solution, to talk about what truly matters in the earliest days of divorce: financial clarity before legal action. Divorce may be a legal process, but in the beginning, it feels emotional and financial. Fear can drive rushed decisions. Anger can fuel unnecessary conflict. And too often, people hire attorneys before they understand what they actually own, owe, or need. Karen and Catherine specialize in helping individuals slow down, gather the facts, and understand what is truly in the marital “pie” before anyone starts slicing it up. Through their structured preparation platform and signature MDS Financial Portrait™, they help people turn panic into power and confusion into confidence. This conversation is about avoiding early mistakes, preventing unnecessary legal costs, and building a foundation that supports smart, informed decisions from day one. What You'll Learn Why divorce should often begin with financial clarity, not immediate legal action How emotional agreements like “you keep the house, I'll keep my retirement” can create long-term financial damage What really happens when couples rely on spreadsheets without full documentation The difference between financial literacy and financial empowerment during divorce How understanding the financial impact of decisions allows you to pivot confidently during negotiations Why assembling the right professional team depends on first understanding the complexity of your financial picture Episode Blog Article:  What Is the #1 Financial Mistake Before Filing for Divorce? Free Episode Resource: Before You File: Divorce Financial Readiness Checklist About the Guests  Catherine Shanahan, CDFA After 25 years in the financial industry, having raised five children and endured her own experience with divorce, Catherine became a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst (CDFA), trained Mediator and Daily Money Manager(PDMM).

She is a member of the  American Association of Daily Money Managers (AADMM) the Institute for Divorce Financial Analysts, and the Association of Divorce Financial Planners (ADFP).

During her career, she served as an affiliated member of the Pennsylvania Bar Association and President Elect of the ALA (Association of Legal Administrators). Karen now serves clients and the professional team in her role as legal liaison.

    -Introduction TomTom isn't just “navigation” anymore. In this episode of the InsurTech Leadership Podcast, Josh Hollander talks with Vinod Poomalai, Head of InsurTech Product Marketing at TomTom, about how insurers are using location, map, and traffic intelligence to improve how they price risk, validate claims, and build telematics programs that actually produce underwriting signal. Guest bio Vinod Pumalai leads go-to-market for TomTom's insurance and InsurTech vertical. His work focuses on helping carriers, brokers, actuaries, and InsurTech teams integrate TomTom's location and traffic data into risk models, pricing engines, and telematics workflows—with a practical emphasis on adoption inside real operating environments. Key topics -From static territories to live location intelligence -Why “territory” is a crude proxy—and how mobility patterns add resolution to risk. -Territory risk models powered by traffic + map data -How insurers use location and traffic attributes to refine pricing and portfolio strategy. -Telematics enablement: APIs, SDKs, and flexible integration -What teams actually plug into, and what the implementation path looks like in practice. -Claims validation and fraud detection using mobility history -Using historical mobility/traffic context to validate events faster and reduce leakage. -Where experimentation becomes operational value -The difference between demos and workflows that move loss ratio outcomes. -What the insurance market is missing in location data -Why the market has been underserved—and what that creates as an opportunity. -Talent and leadership required to make it real -Product, data, and insurance domain collaboration: what “good” looks like inside carriers. Quotes -“The insurance market as a whole is very underserved when it comes to location data, traffic data, and so on.” -“At the end of the day, what our clients really care about… is loss ratios.” -“Customers are leveraging our traffic data in validating auto insurance claims.” Resources -Vinod Poomalai: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vinod-kumar-poomalai/ -TomTom Insurtech: https://www.tomtom.com/solutions/insurtech/ -Joshua Hollander: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuarhollander/ If you found this useful, subscribe to the InsurTech Leadership Podcast on YouTube and your preferred podcast app. Share the episode with an underwriting, claims, or telematics leader on your team—and leave a review to help more operators find the show.

    This week, we move deeper into our Running & Aging series by getting practical about what training actually needs to look like as we get older. As runners in our mid-40s and beyond, we can't rely on brute force or outdated plans anymore, but that doesn't mean we're slowing down or giving anything up. We break down what physically changes as we age, the most common mistakes masters runners make, and how to train smarter through better structure, strength work, recovery, and intentional intensity. From building weekly schedules that respect recovery to understanding why strength training and sleep are no longer optional, this episode is all about keeping us healthy, consistent, and running strong for years to come. This isn't about chasing who we used to be—it's about building the best version of who we are now.

    In this episode of Reading With Your Kids, host Jed Doherty welcomes three very different—but equally exciting—guests who are passionate about helping kids grow smarter and braver. First, Jed chats with Adam Adler and his 10‑year‑old daughter Isla, the father–daughter team behind Wyzly, a groundbreaking screen time app for kids. Tired of daily battles over iPads and YouTube, Isla came up with the idea for an app that doesn't just shut devices off—it asks kids educational questions to unlock their favorite apps. Adam explains how Wyzly uses a "learn to earn" model and customizes questions by age, grade, and school district, turning screen time into a reward for real learning. Parents get powerful parental controls, data on what their children are mastering, and even the option for Wyzly's AI to manage screen time breaks based on research and child well‑being. In the second half, Jed is joined by award‑winning author Mahatab Nasim to discuss her spooky middle grade horror novel, Haunted. Inspired by a chilling Chinese lake myth about restless water spirits, Haunted follows Jonah at a remote Canadian camp as he confronts eerie happenings, a tragic drowning, and a terrifying storm to save his mom. Mahatab shares how spooky middle grade books give kids a safe way to explore fear, build resilience, and practice critical thinking while enjoying diverse myths and folktales from across Asia. This episode is perfect for parents, educators, and young readers interested in healthy screen time, AI‑powered learning, and kid‑friendly scary stories that spark big conversations.

    S1Ep266 Employee Benefits Strategy for Smarter Business Growth with Reid Rasmussen

    The Business Growth Show

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 12, 2026 48:50


    Employee benefits strategy has become one of the most important levers for sustainable business growth. As healthcare costs continue to rise and employees struggle to understand and use their benefits effectively, leaders are being forced to rethink how benefits fit into the larger picture of culture, retention, and performance. The companies getting it right are no longer treating benefits as a necessary expense, but as a strategic advantage. Reid Rasmussen has spent years helping employers navigate this shift. As Co-Founder and CEO of FreshBenies, Reid has built a company focused on cutting benefits costs while removing the confusion that often leaves employees disengaged and frustrated. His work centers on a simple belief: when employees understand and trust their benefits, businesses operate more efficiently and grow stronger. FreshBenies was designed to address the real pain points employers face every day. Rising premiums, higher out-of-pocket expenses, and underutilized benefits have created a system that works against both employers and employees. Reid's approach reframes employee benefits strategy as a tool for empowerment, combining healthcare advocacy, concierge-style navigation, telehealth access, and prescription savings into one streamlined experience. This clarity matters. When employees feel overwhelmed by benefits, they avoid using them or make costly decisions that impact both their health and the company's bottom line. A smarter employee benefits strategy reduces friction, increases utilization, and builds trust between organizations and their teams. That trust becomes a foundation for stronger engagement and long-term retention. Reid's leadership perspective is shaped not only by benefits innovation but also by how he runs his company. FreshBenies has operated as a remote team since 2009, long before remote work became mainstream. That experience has reinforced the importance of values-based leadership, clear communication, and systems that support people regardless of location. For Reid, employee benefits strategy is inseparable from leadership strategy. Ford Saeks brings a complementary lens to the conversation, grounded in business growth and scalability. Having worked with organizations across industries, Ford consistently emphasizes that growth is not driven by tactics alone. It comes from alignment between systems, culture, and leadership. Benefits are often overlooked in that equation, yet they play a critical role in how employees perceive their employer and their own value within the organization. A strong employee benefits strategy also signals something deeper about leadership priorities. It shows that a company is willing to invest in clarity, access, and employee wellbeing rather than defaulting to complexity and cost-shifting. That mindset resonates in today's labor market, where employees are more informed, more mobile, and more selective about where they work. Beyond benefits design, Reid is a passionate advocate for continual learning and leadership development. He believes that companies grow when leaders commit to understanding their people, listening to feedback, and making decisions rooted in shared values. That philosophy shows up not only in how FreshBenies serves employers, but in how the company builds its own internal culture. Employee benefits strategy is no longer a back-office function. It is a front-line growth decision that affects recruitment, retention, productivity, and trust. Businesses that embrace this reality are better positioned to compete, adapt, and scale in an increasingly complex environment. FreshBenies continues to demonstrate how simplifying benefits can create meaningful impact. By reducing confusion and empowering employees, Reid Rasmussen has helped organizations transform benefits from a source of frustration into a driver of smarter business growth.

In high school, a career and technical education program let her earn healthcare certifications that sparked real clinical interest. As an undergrad at Texas A&M, she sought academic rigor and built-in research while learning to ask for help sooner—through office hours, professional advising, and a premed society that brought advisors and medical schools to campus.She shares the toughest moments too: a rocky transition to college, being humbled by General Chemistry (but loving visual organic chemistry), and navigating a competitive premed culture by staying in her own lane. Inside medical school, she talks imposter syndrome, the fire‑hydrant pace of learning, and how Pomodoro, Anki, and visual tools on her iPad kept her grounded. She opens up about the stress of MMIs and virtual glitches, the relief of a Texas pre‑match call after three interviews, and the power of friends and family when things get heavy.If you're weighing how hard to push versus how smart to study, or how to keep your “why” front and center, Kaylah's candid reflections will help you recalibrate.What You'll Learn:- How to plug into advising and support even at large schools- Ways to manage competition by staying in your lane- Smarter study methods: Pomodoro, Anki, and visual learning- Handling MMIs when there's no feedback or affirmation- Keeping your why alive through setbacks and intensity

    Yankees Run It Back: Same Roster, Same Ceiling or Smarter Than It Looks?

    The Yankees officially chose the most polarizing path possible: run it back. With the offseason over, we rewind to November and replay everyone's original Yankees plans to see just how far off the front office went from fan expectations. From dream scenarios involving Alex Bregman, Josh Naylor, Steven Kwan, Sandy Alcantara, and bullpen reinforcements, to the reality of Cody Bellinger returning and almost nothing else changing, the gap is glaring. So what does it actually mean that nearly the entire roster is back? Is Brian Cashman betting on internal growth, better health, and fewer October failures? Or did the Yankees miss a real opportunity to raise their playoff ceiling? We break down the leadoff problem, bullpen concerns, roster stagnation, and whether believing in improvement from Volpe, Dominguez, Rice, Wells, and others is enough to justify one of the most extreme “run it back” seasons in modern Yankees history.
