George Howell may have sold his company to Starbucks — but he never sold out. A pioneer of the specialty coffee movement, George began his journey in 1975 with the founding of The Coffee Connection, a beloved Boston-based chain that helped redefine what American coffee could be. Nearly two decades later, Starbucks acquired the company – but George wasn't finished. In 2012, he re-entered the retail scene with George Howell Coffee, a brand rooted in his unwavering commitment to quality, transparency, and education. In this episode, George shares how his dual passions for art and exceptional coffee sparked a revolution in café culture, long before Starbucks became a household name. From modest beginnings to becoming a global advocate for farmers and flavor integrity, George has always played the long game, prioritizing substance over trend. He reveals the untold story behind the drink that evolved into the Frappuccino, why so many cafés miss the mark on customer experience, his unapologetic stance on flavored coffee, and why black coffee should be as revered as fine wine. Show notes: 0:25: Interview: George Howell, Founder, George Howell Coffee – After Ray makes an awkward admission, George opens up about the origins of his lifelong passion for coffee, tracing it back to his early days in the art world, where he represented Indigenous Mexican artists. This path eventually led him to open his first café in the 1970s. He clears up a common misconception – that he invented the Frappuccino – explaining instead how the beverage fit into Starbucks's acquisition of his company. Throughout the conversation, George emphasizes the core values that have guided his career: exceptional customer service, employee well-being, and direct, lasting relationships with coffee farmers, many of whom he still visits regularly, even in his 80s. He highlights one of the most significant innovations in his career: freezing beans to preserve their freshness, a method he believes has revolutionized coffee quality. George also discusses the recent redesign of George Howell Coffee's packaging, aimed at better educating customers about origin, processing, and flavor. For him, success isn't measured by profit, but by the ability to share knowledge and elevate understanding. The conversation ends on a light note, with Ray suggesting a new way to order a simple black coffee. Brands in this episode: George Howell Coffee, Starbucks

Danielle Dinkelman shares her journey into corporate wellness, shaped by personal injury and witnessing her husband's burnout. She emphasizes that effective wellness programs require shared responsibility between employers and employees, focusing on five key areas: rest, fuel, play, connection, and purpose. Success depends on authentic leadership commitment rather than incentive-driven programs. TAKEAWAYS Rest is productive, not a distraction — leaders must recognize that sustainable performance requires intentional recovery time. High-impact wellness coaching achieves 20-40% utilization — far exceeding traditional programs when integrated authentically into company culture. Burnout prevention requires policy alignment — review employee handbooks through the lens of rest, fuel, play, connection, and purpose.

As America ages, states face a tough question: how do we fund long-term care and protect the truly vulnerable without crowding out everything else? In this episode of American Potential, host David From talks with Brian Blase, President of the Paragon Health Institute, about why Medicaid's design is straining state budgets—and what to do about it. Blase explains how open-ended federal matching, expansion to able-bodied adults, and “legalized money-laundering” schemes (like provider taxes) have warped incentives—paying up to seven times more federal dollars for able-bodied adults than for seniors and people with disabilities. Blase lays out a reform roadmap: ideally block-grant Medicaid, but in the near term level the federal match across eligibility groups, curb provider-tax loopholes, tighten eligibility reviews, and require community engagement for able-bodied adults—so states can prioritize long-term care and home- and community-based services for aging Americans. If you want a clear, practical plan to keep Medicaid sustainable while strengthening the safety net, this conversation is your briefing.
If you've ever thought, “It's just easier if I do it myself,” or found yourself ready to “burn it all down” after one too many hand-holding moments—this episode is for you.In this solo episode, Chanie Wilschanski exposes the false binary so many school leaders get trapped in: over-functioning or giving up entirely. Through real client stories, she unpacks how these extremes are both driven by the same craving for instant relief—and how true leadership means learning to live in the messy middle.You'll hear how one owner, “Sarah,” learned to hold her team accountable without lowering standards, what happens when you trade to-do lists for calendars, and why grace never means abandoning expectations.This conversation is packed with practical wisdom for leaders who are tired of doing it all, frustrated that delegation still feels heavy, and ready to build rhythms of ownership instead of cycles of exhaustion.What You'll Learn in This Episode:The real reason leaders oscillate between over-functioning and firing everyoneWhy to-do lists create comfort but calendars create clarity and accountabilityHow to show grace without lowering your standardsThe difference between outsourcing and ownershipWhy “getting ahead” is often avoidance disguised as productivityHow to right-size the load while keeping standards visibleKey InsightsComfort isn't clarity. A private to-do list may feel safe—but a calendar makes priorities visible, reviewable, and real.Grace ≠ lowered standards. True grace adjusts the load, not the expectation.Instant relief leads to instability. Sustainable leadership requires tolerating discomfort while building systems and rhythms.Outsourcing is temporary relief; ownership is transformation.Memorable Quotes“Comfort over clarity is not leadership—it's avoidance.” – Chanie Wilschanski“Grace never means lowering the standard. You right-size the load while keeping the standard visible.” – Chanie Wilschanski“Outsourcing brings relief. Ownership builds leadership.” – Chanie Wilschanski“When you complain about doing something, it just means you need more reps.” – Chanie WilschanskiWhy This Matters for School LeadersHelps leaders recognize and break the over-functioning vs. burnout cycleTeaches practical ways to build accountability without micromanagingReinforces the connection between standards, systems, and sustainable leadershipEmpowers leaders to replace chaos with structure—and delegation with ownershipResources & Next StepsAudit your leadership rhythms: Where are you over-functioning or lowering standards?Define your school's standards—what's visible, measurable, and consistent?Replace your team's to-do lists with a shared calendar rhythm this week.Ready to delegate without burning out?

Send me a messageIn this week's episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain Podcast, I'm joined by Jamie Barsimantov, VP of Supply Chain Strategy at Sphera, to explore what it really means to build a sustainable, resilient, and data-driven supply chain in 2025.Jamie brings a fascinating perspective, from his early days as an environmental researcher to founding SupplyShift and now helping global enterprises at Sphera manage sustainability and operational risk at scale. We discuss why sustainability isn't a finish line but a continuous journey - one where information, not intention, is the true currency.Jamie explains why chasing total transparency can backfire, how companies can avoid “death by analysis,” and why the smartest supply chain leaders are using software and AI to turn supplier data into meaningful action. We unpack the major shifts driving this new era - from EU regulations like the Deforestation Regulation and CBAM, to the rise of supplier diversification, and the growing demand for product carbon footprinting.We also talk about how political polarisation, tariff uncertainty, and global supply disruptions are reshaping corporate priorities, and why aligning sustainability with core business goals is no longer optional, it's existential.If you're looking to understand how to cut through the noise, engage suppliers effectively, and build a future-proof supply chain grounded in credible data and climate impact, this conversation is one you won't want to miss.

How do you regenerate and bring back life to worn-out soils? Does your garden soil just fall apart in your hands? Dr. Ashley Jernigan, assistant professor and director of Virginia Tech's Sustainable and Organic Vegetable Crops Production Lab, in visiting with Jeff and Mary, advises doing your own test in your garden or crop field with a shovel.As someone who enjoyed digging soil pits as a seven-year-old, Ashley recommends sampling to a six-inch depth to get a sense of your soil's tilth and aggregate stability. If the soil does not have a good, varied crumbly structure, the soil's organic matter content and aggregate stability may be low. Therefore, feed your soil and soil animals to feed your plants to start the biological journey and bring back the life in the soil.If you have ever wondered what soil animals like springtails and soil mites look like, Dr. Jernigan developed a Soil Mesofauna: Who are They? resource guide to help. Ashley also highly recommends Andy Murray's Chaos of Delight: Exploring Life in the Soil website for wonderful photos and videos. As always, we encourage you to cooperate with other farmers, graziers, and gardeners for peer-to-peer learning and to follow the four core soil health principles: 1) Keep the soil covered -- Cover crops are our friends and allies;2) Minimize soil disturbance -- Practice no-till or gentle tillage in your field or garden as much as possible;3) Maximize living roots year-round -- to improve biodiversity, soil structure, and life in the soil; and4) Energize with diversity -- through crop rotation, farm enterprises, and/or livestock integration.More details about the Virginia Farm-to-Table Feast and Harvest Celebration scheduled for Saturday, October 25, 2025, from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m. at On Sunny Slope Farm in Rockingham, Virginia, can be found at https://virginiafarmtotable.org/2025vaf2tharvestcelebration/To enjoy recent 4 The Soil blog posts and additional soil health resources, please visit https://www.4thesoil.org/blog and https://www.virginiasoilhealth.org/.

Welcome back to Tahoe TAP - the podcast spotlighting the Things, Adventure, and People that make life in this blue-and-green paradise so extraordinary. Hosts Mike Peron and Rob Galloway are back with another episode packed with local insight, regional updates, and a conversation you won't want to miss. After catching listeners up on what's unfolding around the lake, the duo welcomes a guest who's practically woven into the fabric of Tahoe itself: Steve Teshara — advocate, strategist, and one of the most deeply respected leaders in the basin. If there's a saying about someone “being around the block,” Steve's been around the entire lake a few times. Since moving to Tahoe in 1973, he's played a leading role in nearly every major regional initiative—from economic development to transportation, forest health, watershed restoration, and policy advocacy. Today, he serves as Principal of Sustainable Community Advocates, the consulting firm he founded in 2010.

In today's episode, the focus turns to two critical topics shaping Tahoe's future: transportation solutions and Eastern Placer development planning — and Steve knows these like the back of his hand.

In this episode, founder and CEO Cy Cain reveals how the Portland-based brand is carving out a distinct space in the booming ready-to-drink category by prioritizing bar-quality cocktails crafted from in-house ingredients and held to uncompromising standards. Cy outlines a strategy rooted in deliberate, thoughtful growth rather than chasing viral trends. He dives into the brand's innovative approach to creative R&D, leveraging limited releases and direct-to-consumer exclusives to experiment boldly and gather insights that shape future core offerings. He also highlights how investments in in-house production, B Corp certification and sustainability efforts, alongside strategic partnerships with Costco, Alaska Airlines and Shake Shack, demonstrate that a patient, craft-centric mindset and a strong brand identity can make a powerful impact in even the most crowded markets.

Inspired by lifestyle brands like Patagonia and Shinola, Cy emphasizes values-driven partnerships, such as a test collaboration with Shake Shack.

Burnout isn't only about long hours—it's about the inner resistance that quietly exhausts high performers. In this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, coach and engineer-turned-entrepreneur Gerald Dobin breaks down how subconscious “pusher” patterns, boundary struggles, and identity-level misalignment create constant energy leaks. We explore practical ways to spot when the problem is internal vs. systemic, why willpower collapses over time, and how to rebuild confidence by operating from a different state—one that's grounded, authoritative, and sustainable. If vacations aren't fixing your fatigue, this conversation reframes burnout as a signal to realign, not a verdict to grind harder. About the guest : Gerald Dobin is a coach who helps high-performing professionals dissolve burnout by addressing the inner drivers—misaligned identities, unhelpful parts, and boundary resistance. Drawing on engineering rigor, entrepreneurship, and deep personal work, he guides clients to shift state and identity, restore energy, and lead from grounded authority. Key takeaways: Burnout often comes from inner resistance (perfectionism, self-doubt, boundary friction), not just workload—creating constant, invisible energy drain. A quick self-check: if peers in the same role aren't as depleted, your root cause may be internal rather than purely systemic. Vacations and rest provide relief but don't fix identity-level misalignment; the drain returns when the same “pusher” part takes over. Watch for resentment, disproportionate anxiety, and chronic exhaustion that feel bigger than the situation warrants—signals the trigger is internal. Willpower is finite. Relying on it long-term tightens the knot; pushing harder eventually collapses energy and motivation. Sustainable change comes from operating from a different identity/state—anchored through body posture, movement, and clear leadership intent. “Parts” work can help: negotiate with the inner pusher and install a capable leader-part that sets boundaries and owns the room. Treat burnout as a signal to realign: examine expectations, renegotiate with inner parts, and address energy leaks at the source. Improvements at work often ripple into personal life—upgrading relationships, awareness, and choices. First step: visualize the part that's exhausted or anxious, get specific, acknowledge it, and ask what it needs—clarity follows.
