A mission-driven brewer explains why "beer alone isn't enough" — and how a 45-year-old wedding invite, an accidental World Beer Cup medal, and a legendary Czech dark lager came together in Batavia, Illinois.Sturdy Shelter Brewing Owner and Head Brewer Frank Mercadante shares the personal story of a brewery built on a Catholic scripture — one that was unknowingly already on his 45-year-old wedding invitation. He discusses the community-first mission that drives every decision at Sturdy Shelter, the international brewery trips that led Frank to the legendary U Fleků in Prague, the science behind why Hefeweizen is the hardest style to brew, and why his phone started flooding with congratulatory messages when he least expected it. 0:00 Intro2:15 The Historic Building and Mark Twain2:47 Introducing Frank Mercadante3:17 How Every Beer Tells a Story4:32 The Francesco Italian Pilsner9:22 The Scripture Behind "Sturdy Shelter"11:10 The 45-Year-Old Wedding Invitation12:38 From Youth Minister to Brewer14:33 Getting Serious About Homebrewing16:36 Entering Homebrew Competitions17:54 What Youth Ministry Taught Frank About Running a Brewery19:10 Why Frank Needed More Than Beer20:45 The Food Pantry and Giving Back23:36 Brewer's Choice: Dancing House Dark Czech Lager24:15 What Is a Dark Czech Lager?25:12 Sturdy Shelter's International Brewery Trips26:55 How U Fleků in Prague Inspired the Dancing House29:14 Two Years to Perfect the Czech Dark Lager31:11 Why Dancing House Became Their #1 Beer35:17 Why Hefeweizen Is So Hard to Brew36:45 Sweaty Yeast, Circus Peanuts, and Hefeweizen39:08 Winning a World Beer Cup Medal by Accident42:03 What Makes a Great Dunkel?44:26 Why Frank Chose Batavia45:27 Batavia's Inferiority Complex46:10 "This Is All Ours"46:37 Why All Their Merch Says "Batavia"47:10 How Frank Found (and Afforded) This Building50:56 What's Next: A Riverfront Deck53:05 The #1 Mistake People Make Judging Beer54:03 Frank's Most Emotional Moment55:37 Final Toast: Cheers to CommunityAbout Sturdy Shelter Brewing: Sturdy Shelter Brewing is a community-driven craft brewery and taproom in a historic mid-1800s building on the Fox River in Batavia, Illinois, where the mission is to create a "treasured and genial" gathering space one person, one conversation, and one highly crafted beer at a time.

Keith McCurdy is back on Space for Life for a follow-up to his episode on raising sturdy kids. This time the focus shifts to the adults, because it takes a sturdy adult to raise a sturdy child. After 40 years in mental health and tens of thousands of families, Keith shares why healthy struggle is the engine of growth, how to stop letting your emotions run the show, and the practices that build the kind of strength to do hard things and stay rooted in what actually matters.What You'll Take Away:Why healthy struggle is the engine of growth and maturity for adults, not just kids.How to stop letting emotions run you with the "no parenting above a five" rule.A simple framework for processing your past: honor what's honorable, respect what's respectable, and forgive the rest.Why most things that feel like emergencies are not, and the question to ask yourself in the moment.The four Ps that keep adults chasing the wrong identity, and what to chase instead.How forbearance and forgiveness function as the glue of every healthy relationship.Why cultivating relationships takes the same intentional effort we give our hobbies and our work.The one small step Keith recommends to start with today.Timestamps: (0:00) Intro (3:19) Why sturdiness matters now (10:35) Short term happiness vs long term wellness (19:48) We are not victims of our history(25:49) Are your emotions running you(27:14) The emotion Richter scale(38:38) The four Ps of false identity (43:54) Why we should not avoid struggle (54:35) The practice of forbearance(1:03:15) Start small with one thingResources:Keith's upcoming book, Raising Sturdy Kids, releasing May or June 2026.Basecamp Live podcast with Davies Owens, where Keith has appeared on roughly 50 episodes covering related topics.

Alex Atkins is the VP of Growth and Operations at Sturdy.ai, an AI-powered customer intelligence platform that turns customer conversations across emails, chats, tickets, and calls into actionable insights for B2B teams. Drawing on a background in psychology, communications, marketing, business analytics, and growth, Alex helps teams better understand churn signals, retention risks, and expansion opportunities so they can act faster and more intelligently. In this episode… Customer churn is one of the most significant challenges in business, yet so many teams fail to pinpoint the exact reasons behind it. With all the data available, why do teams still miss the warning signs until it's too late? With experience spanning growth, operations, analytics, and customer intelligence, Alex Atkins brings a data-driven perspective to why teams often miss churn signals. He says the key to understanding churn lies in connecting the dots between seemingly disconnected signals. Alex points out that while teams often focus on isolated factors, churn is rarely caused by one issue. Instead, it's usually a combination of small, overlooked signals, like underutilization, executive changes, slow responses, or product confusion, that build over time. When teams miss those patterns, they end up reacting too late and lose retention opportunities that could have been saved with the right insights. In this episode of the Revenue Engine Podcast, Alex Gluz is joined by Alex Atkins, VP of Growth and Operations at Sturdy.ai, to discuss why customer churn is often misunderstood. Alex shares insights on why traditional health scores and NPS often miss the mark, how signal combinations can predict churn before it happens, and why dashboards are not enough without ownership and action. He also talks about how real-time customer intelligence can transform growth strategies, retention efforts, and expansion opportunities.

Anxiety is everywhere today, but what if it doesn't always tell us the truth? In this episode of BaseCamp Live, Davies Owens welcomes back Keith McCurdy for another conversation in the Live Sturdy series. Together, they unpack why anxiety has become so common in students and parents, how overcommitment and fear-based decision making fuel the problem, and what schools and families can do to cultivate resilience, wisdom, and hope in a fragile age. Keith shares practical insight from years of counseling families, students, and school leaders. From sports overload to perfectionism to the pressure-filled culture surrounding today's kids, this episode offers a grounded and hopeful perspective on helping children grow stronger instead of more fragile.

In this STtalks we discuss how the dairy industry defines and breeds for true efficiency beyond simply reducing cow size. Kevin Ziemba, Jocelyn Johnson and David Kendall join us to introduce two new STgenetics® traits; Mature Live Weight (MLW), built from over 1.8 million robot-recorded body weight records from more than 5,000 Holstein cows, and STurdy, an index combining linear type traits with MLW to identify cows that are wider and more robust relative to height and weight, designed to help producers moderate size while maintaining durability and functionality. This STtalks takes a deep dive into the concept of truly STurdy cows and how selection with these two new traits can achieve athletic, durable and profitable herds.

This week on the Becoming a Sleep Consultant podcast, we are talking about something that does not get discussed nearly enough in our field, and that is the emotional side of coaching families through sleep.Supporting parents through sleep challenges is not just about wake windows and schedules. It is about holding space for big feelings, uncertainty, exhaustion, and sometimes even grief and anxiety. And as sleep consultants, we have to learn how to stay steady in the middle of all of that.I am joined by CPSM grad Ali Manning, a pediatric sleep consultant who specializes in gradual and parent present approaches for families who feel nervous about sleep training. Ali shares how her own journey into sleep consulting shaped the way she supports parents today, and how her coaching style has evolved over the past three years in business.In this episode, we dive into the concept of “sturdy coaching.” We talk about what it really means to hold space for parents' emotions without absorbing them, how to avoid jumping in to fix every feeling, and why our confidence and calm presence can make all the difference for the families we serve.Ali also opens up about the learning curve she experienced early on, the moments that pushed her to grow, and the mindset shifts that helped her stop taking client struggles personally. If you have ever felt emotionally drained by your work with families or questioned whether you are doing enough, this conversation will feel both validating and grounding.Whether you are brand new to sleep consulting or years into your business, this episode is a powerful reminder that being a great coach is not about eliminating discomfort. It is about learning how to remain confident and sturdy while guiding families through it.Links: Website: https://www.snugglesandslumber.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ali.manning.sleep.coach/If you'd like to learn more about becoming a Sleep Consultant, please join our Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/becomeasleepconsultantCPSM website: https://thecpsm.com/Book a free discovery call to learn how you can become a Certified Sleep Consultant here: https://jaynehavens.as.me/CPSM-Inquiry

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 3:10-11. Everyone's building something— a career, a reputation, a family, a future, a legacy. But Paul reminds us that the foundation matters just as much as the construction. Actually—more. According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it. Let each one take care how he builds upon it. For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. — 1 Corinthians 3:10–11 Paul is clear: There is only one true foundation—Jesus Christ. Everything else looks strong for a while, until life leans on it. Success, relationships, security, money, comfort, reputation— none of them can hold the weight of a real life. Only Jesus can. But Paul makes a second point we often miss: You don't choose the foundation, but you do choose how you build. Your habits, decisions, reactions, desires, disciplines— all of them are construction materials. They determine whether your life is: Sturdy or unstable. Aligned or crooked. Lasting or temporary. Paul says, "Let each one take care how he builds…" Because not all building is equal. You can build fast—but sloppy. You can build big—but weak. You can build impressively—but not wisely. The foundation is perfect—Christ Himself. But the structure you build on top of Him is being shaped every day. And here's the accurate truth: If your foundation is firm—and you build on it correctly—your life will stand firm. Not because you're strong but because Christ is solid and your building aligns with Him. Storms don't destroy what's built on Jesus with care. Pressure doesn't crack what's anchored in Him. Time doesn't weaken what's formed by His wisdom. So today isn't just about believing in the right foundation. It's about building on it with intention. DO THIS: Write this somewhere you'll see it today: "I'm building on Christ." Then identify one habit that needs to be rebuilt with Him at the center. ASK THIS: What part of your life is being built quickly instead of carefully? Which habits reflect Christ—and which don't? What will building "correctly" look like today? PRAY THIS: Jesus, You are the foundation of my life. Teach me to build with wisdom, humility, and strength that aligns with You. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Firm Foundation (He Won't)"

Send us a text“Being nice” isn't the same as being human—and it's often not good leadership. In this episode of The Leadership Vision Podcast, Dr. Chip Kimball reflects on 37 years of leadership and shares why great leaders refuse to separate systems and people, why hard conversations are an act of care, and how belief, challenge, and clarity create the strong foundations teams need to do hard things—and do them well. This episode will leave you with a clearer sense of how to hold people and performance together as you navigate change, uncertainty, and growth.
