Podcast appearances and mentions of Tracy Anderson

Tracy Anderson  - Big Brother Big Sisters of Dane County On the Value of Being a Mentor to a Kid: "When you spend time with a child, it's shown to prove that they'll likely go to college when they grow up or have a better paying job or not partake in violence, alcohol or drugs." As entrepreneurs, we strive to do our best every day.  We push and drag ourselves, our employees, our clients and our vendors to join us in growing our business.  We do all of this for many reasons, but for many of us, that reason is based on two words, Growth and Freedom. What is interesting is that not everyone has that mindset, or has even had the opportunity to be exposed to that mindset.  Not everyone knows that you can do and be better.  Some people simply have not been shown all of the opportunity they really have. That is one of the reasons I became a Big, with Big Brothers Big Sisters and why we are lucky to have Tracy Anderson, of BBBS Dane County in Madison, Wisconsin to chat with us about the difference a mentor can make. Tracy explains what all Big Brothers Big Sisters does for kids, adults, the community and society at large.  All of this rolling around the idea of people sharing time, experience and ideas with each other, thinly veiled as just having fun hanging out. If you have ever wondered how you could make a difference in the world, as a way to show gratitude for the success you have achieved, I'd highly suggest becoming a Big. Listen as Tracy explains what it takes to be a Big and the challenges Big Brothers Big Sisters has continued to overcome, just like any business.  Often success can be measured by a bank account, more importantly, it can be measured in smiles and expanding the opportunity that you were lucky enough to learn about.

So it's all about spending that one on one time. It truly makes a difference. And when you spend time with a child, we create new matches, ages 6 to 13. Another great reason why mentorship works. I mean, you're getting out of a different environment and you're being asked to do things that you know are going to help you when you become an adult.

So, Tracy, how is it going today? Tracy Anderson [00:00:58]: Good, good. James Kademan [00:00:59]: I'm excited for you to be here. Tracy Anderson [00:01:00]: Thank you. James Kademan [00:01:01]: I've been a big. I guess I'm not technically a Big anymore, but I was a Big with Danny. We got connected when he was 11. Tracy Anderson [00:01:08]: Okay. James Kademan [00:01:08]: So it's like I said, is almost forever. It's been a while.

Summer's still sizzling in the beef market, but other proteins and dairy are slipping. From ribeye highs to butter slides, it's a week of high steaks and low falls across the board.BEEF: Signs point to the market finally cooling as we move through September – but it may be short-lived. Ribeyes, tenderloins, chucks, rounds, and grinds are still climbing, though thin meats like skirts and briskets are starting to slip. With herds small and Mexico still closed, high prices aren't going anywhere soon… moderation may be coming, but not just yet.POULTRY: Production stays strong – up about 1% – but prices are sliding for the second week straight. Wings, breasts, and tenders are all moving lower, making chicken a solid feature right now. Still, with one new avian flu case reported and cooler weather coming, could we see trouble ahead?GRAINS: Corn nudged back over $4 for the first time in three weeks as export demand looks solid and crop estimates soften a bit from “best ever” to “some issues.” Soy keeps trying to rally but can't quite get there, while wheat remains the bargain buy of the bunch.PORK: Bellies are stuck in the $180–$185 range, closing at $182 – but the next move looks lower, so it's not the time to load up. Butts and ribs are bouncing back after recent declines, while loins continue to be the standout value cut.DAIRY: Week three of a sliding CME – barrel down 1, block down 3, and butter off another 11 after last week's steep drop. It's not a massive slide, but the steady decline is adding up – will the dip deepen, or start to level out?Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Summer's wrapping up, but the markets are still making waves. Pork bellies take a dive, beef keeps the heat on, and chicken cools just in time for football season. From butter drops to grain gluts, it's a late-summer belly flop across the board.BEEF: Prices keep climbing as production stays tight – 547K head harvested this week and even fewer expected with the holiday ahead. Chucks, grinds, ribeyes, and tenderloins are leading the charge, while strips are still the relative value. The market may cool off soon, but not yet – buy now, waiting will cost you money.POULTRY: Chicken prices finally cooled off for Labor Day – wings, breasts, and tenders are all down. Production is still running strong, about 1% ahead of last year, so we'll take the win and enjoy cheaper chicken for now. One small avian flu case popped up, but nothing major.GRAINS: Another rally fizzled – corn harvest is pegged at a massive 16.7 billion bushels, keeping prices in check. Corn nudged up slightly to $3.94, while soy and wheat stayed flat. With crops this strong, the market's still waiting for a spark to push things higher.PORK: Bellies slipped again, closing at $181 with more downside likely ahead. Butts and loins are steady, ribs are edging up, and overall production is running about 2% lower year-to-date. With nothing pushing demand higher, this market looks set to stay quiet for the next few weeks.DAIRY: CME gave back August's gains – barrel down 2, block down 3, and butter dropping a sharp 14. After weeks of climbing, this market is sliding fast… will the downturn stick?Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Sorry for the delay, we were on vacation on Friday. Market Updates for last week below!BEEF: Prices keep climbing across the board – ribeyes, tenderloins, chucks, and rounds are all on fire. With packers still losing money, production dropping, and the Southern border closed to live animal imports, pressure is building. Relief may come after Labor Day – but will it be too little, too late?POULTRY: Chicken stays strong with production up and demand steady – wings are flat for now while breasts and tenders ease a bit. Football season could give wings a lift, but the real watch is Avian Flu: after six clean weeks, a new case breaks the streak. Will cooler weather bring more trouble?GRAINS: Harvest is underway and while yields look good, they're not record-shattering just yet. Corn is holding under $4 for a third straight week, soy is showing some strength on export demand, and wheat is slipping. The market looks steady – but will exports or tariffs be the wild card?PORK: Bellies look like they've peaked, slipping back to $182 from last week's $194 – and likely heading lower into fall. With butts and loins down and ribs steady, pork remains one of the best buys on the menu. But is this the break buyers have been waiting for, or just a seasonal pause?DAIRY: After a couple of big weeks higher, the market eased back – barrel down 1½, block steady, and butter slipping just ½. The push has cooled for now, but will those gains start to melt further in the weeks ahead?Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

BEEF: The summer beef rally isn't slowing down – low production and high demand are keeping prices on the move. Middle meats, chucks, rounds, and grinds are all climbing, setting us up for a pricey Labor Day BBQ. Will the market cool after the holiday, or will tight cattle supplies keep the heat on?POULTRY: Production is running 1% ahead of last year, with demand staying strong as chicken remains the go-to alternative to high beef prices. Wings are steady for now, but will football season send them higher? Six weeks with no new Avian Flu cases – let's keep it going.GRAINS: Corn prices remain under $4 with a record U.S. harvest on the horizon – great for feeders, rough for farmers. But with soy inching up on palm oil tariffs and wheat holding steady, could this calm market be setting the stage for a surprise turn?PORK: Bellies cracked the $200 mark before slipping back – still riding high for now. But with just a few more weeks of seasonal strength left, will the fall bring the big break buyers have been waiting for?DAIRY: Cheese keeps climbing – barrel up 6, block up 4 – but butter's the rebel, dropping 11 points. With baking season buying about to kick off, is the clock ticking on those lower butter prices?Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

BEEF: Prices are surging in the dead of summer – and it's not slowing down. With record-high cattle costs and packers losing $300 a head, the market's acting more like spring than August… so what's driving this upside?POULTRY: Chicken stays steady – strong production, strong demand, and no big price moves on the horizon. With five weeks flu-free and beef heating up, is poultry about to hold its ground or ride the market wave?GRAINS: Grains keep sliding – with corn dipping under $4 a bushel for the first time in a long while. Soy and wheat are following suit, but could strong soy meal exports shake things up?PORK: Pork bellies bounce back to $189 – and the strength may hold through month's end. But with loins, butts, and ribs slipping, how long will the split market last?DAIRY: The CME heats up – barrel jumps 11, block climbs 12, and butter bucks the trend, sliding 4.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

BEEF: The market's still sliding, but not as fast as you'd think with production this tight. Ribeyes and tenderloins? We may have already hit the year's low – so is an expensive holiday season inevitable? Thin meats are dropping, grinds dipped too, but this market's playing a long game.POULTRY: Chicken production is holding strong – wings are steady, breasts are ticking up, and tenders dipped a bit. Demand isn't going anywhere, but will prices stay calm? Plus, we're a month Avian flu-free – can we keep the streak alive?GRAINS: Strong crops, weak exports, and tariff concerns are pushing corn, soy, and wheat lower. Prices are slipping – but is this a true bargain, or just the calm before another shakeup?PORK: The pork market's moving lower – and even bellies are along for the ride. Is this a one-week blip or the start of an early slide? We'll need another week to see where this goes.DAIRY: After weeks of slipping, butter's starting to climb again – but is it just a pause or a new trend? This week's calm might be the quiet before the next churn.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

BEEF: The summer slide continues. Ribeyes and strips are dragging the market down, and briskets and grinds are finally dipping – but don't let your guard down just yet. With production still sluggish, we've likely got a few more weeks of softness before fall starts cooking up something new.POULTRY: Demand is driving this market – wings, breasts, and tenders are all on the rise. With summer heat slowing growth and no sign of appetite cooling off, prices could keep climbing. Three Avian Flu-free weeks in a row? Let's hope the streak sticks.GRAINS: Crops look great and prices are steady – for now. With new tariffs on deck and shifting global demand, especially for soy, the calm could break. Keep your eyes peeled… August might shake things up.PORK: Bellies keep climbing – $200 is in sight – while everything else takes a breather. Butts and loins are easing down, making loins a standout value. If you're planning menus, now's the time to think pork.DAIRY: Things are calm in cheese country – just a slight move in block and barrel this week. Butter's taking the stairs down again, and it's not done dropping yet. Could be more room to melt.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

BEEF: Beef is finally cooling off—but is it enough? Strip loins and ribeyes are leading the decline, but ground beef and roasts are holding firm. With production still lagging behind last year, could this be the start of a slow slide or just a summer stall?POULTRY: Chicken remains the go-to protein, but how long can it hold? Wings are flying high on demand, breasts and tenders are steady, and production is slightly up. No new Avian Flu reports this week, which is always good news.GRAINS: Soybeans are about to stir things up. Despite strong supply and a promising crop, new demand for biofuel could send prices climbing fast. Will corn and wheat follow suit? Stay tuned.PORK: Bellies keep marching higher, and there's no sign of slowing. While other cuts ease off recent highs, bacon's sizzling summer run looks far from over – will August bring the peak, or just more heat?DAIRY: Dairy takes a dip across the board this week – but is it the bottom, or just the beginning? With block, barrel, and butter all sliding, the market may have more room to melt.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Beef: Beef prices are finally starting to cool after the July 4th holiday – but how fast will they fall, and which cuts will drop first? With low production still keeping things tight, we're not in freefall territory yet… but if you're buying ribeyes, strips, or grinds, you'll want to hear what's coming next.Poultry: Chicken remains the go-to protein, with wings in tight supply and prices climbing again. Breasts and tenders are steady for now – but with hot summer temps affecting animal intake and a new avian flu case on the radar, will this balanced market stay steady... or tip?Grains: Prices are down across corn, soy, and wheat, but with crops thriving in the fields and new tariffs shaking up export dynamics, how long will this calm last?Pork: Bacon lovers, brace yourselves—bellies are climbing and could hit $200 soon. But beyond bacon? The rest of the pork market is cooling off… for now.Dairy: A calm week on the dairy front—but is it the quiet before a dip? With butter holding steady and cheese prices barely budging, the market might just be gearing up for a slide.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Episode 31: Five Rules I Break for Fitness   Who says you have to follow the rules to get fit? Hilary Silver unapologetically shreds the fitness handbook and proves you don't need rigid routines to look amazing at 52. Forget arm day, endless cardio, and those boring sit-ups! In this episode, Hilary shares the five fitness rules she proudly ignores (plus the one rule that she never breaks).   Episode Highlights: Break the rules! Fitness isn't one-size-fits-all. Hilary's approach to fitness is proof you can break the rules and still get good results. Start trusting yourself to do what works for you. Cardio? Only if she feels like it. Hilary skips the treadmill grind and only walks or runs when it feels good. Fun fact? Many of Hilary's podcast episode topics come to her on these walks and runs when she's moving her body! Scheduled workouts? Hard pass! Forget those “arm days” and “leg days.” Hilary calls the shots when she hits the gym. She makes sure that she chooses moves that feel right for her body that day. For abs that turn heads, Hilary swears by twisting core-focused movements that sculpt without the six-pack bulk.  Heavy weights? Only sometimes. Lifting heavy isn't a lifestyle for Hilary. She balances strength training with light weights and Tracy Anderson-inspired routines for a toned, feminine look. Rest days are overrated. Moving every day doesn't mean burnout; it means listening to your body and switching it up to keep things interesting. Learn how daily movement—on your terms—can keep your mind sharp, your body strong, and your soul happy.   Episode Breakdown: [00:00] Fitness Confusion [00:42] Why Break the Fitness Rules?
