    Join our champion program: mark@themomentumcompany.com Attend a Thriving Leader event: https://www.themomentumcompany.com/thrivingleader2025 Instagram: @the.momentum.company LinkedIn: /momentum-companyIn this episode of the Intentional Agribusiness Leader Podcast, Mark Jewell sits down with Brian Sanford, National Sales Manager at smaXtec, to explore what it means to lead with intentionality in the dairy and ag tech industries. From building high-performing sales teams to balancing family life with professional growth, Brian shares insights on staying focused on “dollar productive activities” while cultivating a thriving culture and personal connections.Key TakeawaysDollar Productive ActivityBrian highlights how his early sales training around focusing on dollar-productive activities shaped both his professional and personal life. Whether closing sales or spending time with family, being intentional about high-value actions drives long-term results.CRM & Sales Process DisciplineDespite not being a “detail person,” Brian leans into CRM tools to manage opportunities, categorize customers, and keep sales teams accountable. He stresses that if you can keep all your prospects in your head, you're probably not doing enough activity.Scaling Teams & Building CultureGrowing from 7 to 40 team members in just a few years, Brian explains the importance of cadences—regular meetings, onboarding processes, and tough conversations to ensure cultural fit. Creating a space where passion aligns with purpose is essential for sustained success.Intentional Family TimeFrom playing chess with his son to CrossFit dates with his wife, Brian describes how intentionality extends beyond business into marriage and parenting. Simple, consistent actions—like Mark's “Daily Brief” practice with his wife—can have an outsized impact on relationships.Overcoming Challenges & WinsLeaving a long-term role in feed and forging into tech was one of Brian's toughest decisions, but it led to new opportunities and career wins. He shares stories of closing dairies of vastly different sizes and how objections become lessons when leveraged correctly.Books That Shape LeadershipBrian recommends Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara for transforming customer experience and Moneyball by Michael Lewis as a lesson in data-driven strategy and out-of-the-box thinking.Notable Quotes“What are you doing today that's truly driving toward the results you want?” – Brian Sanford“If you can keep your sales leads in your head, you're probably not doing enough activity.” – Brian Sanford“Sometimes the best thing you can do for culture is have the tough conversation: is this the right fit for you?” – Brian Sanford“Fear of letting go often costs more in money, time, and energy than the tough decision itself.” – Mark JewellAction StepsEvaluate your daily activities: are they “dollar productive”?Create intentional practices in your personal life (like shared activities or daily check-ins).Review your CRM discipline—are you documenting and leveraging your conversations effectively?Don't shy away from tough conversations when scaling a team.Consider reading Unreasonable Hospitality and Moneyball to reframe customer experience and strategic leadership.Listen If You AreA sales leader in agriculture or ag techAn entrepreneur growing a high-performing teamA professional balancing leadership with family lifeSomeone looking to refine both...

He let go of old habits, listened to the trainers, and rebuilt himself for long-term success.The New Show Format:Contestants spent more time at home during the competition, learning how to integrate healthy habits with family and friends earlier. Jim believes this format is the most powerful version of The Biggest Loser yet.Training in the Age of COVID-19:With gyms closed, Jim pivoted to CrossFit classes on Zoom and outdoor runs. He predicts the fitness industry will permanently shift toward home and online training—creating more opportunities for people who've always been intimidated by gyms.Advice for Others:Surround yourself with like-minded people who support, not sabotage, your goals. Online communities and apps (like trainer Erica Lugo's) can make home workouts just as tough—and more accessible—than ever.

Trauma from past experiences can significantly impact an athlete's performance. Coaches should avoid over-coaching and allow athletes to trust their instincts during competition. It's important for athletes to reflect on their experiences to understand their responses to pressure. Changing the narrative from anxiety to excitement can help athletes perform better. Athletes should be prepared for unexpected challenges during competitions. Understanding the psychological aspects of performance can enhance coaching strategies. Exposure to high-pressure situations is crucial for developing resilience in athletes. The relationship between coach and athlete should foster independence and confidence.

    Motherhood transforms our bodies, our fitness routines, and our expectations – especially when we're thinking about adding another baby to the mix. That second pregnancy truly "hits different," and preparing for it requires special consideration if you're an active woman who loves to exercise.Drawing from my experience as both a pelvic floor physical therapist and an athlete who has competed in CrossFit and weightlifting through multiple pregnancies, I explore the crucial elements of preparing your body for baby number two (or three!). We examine the science behind the recommended 18-month interpregnancy interval and how musculoskeletal readiness might influence your experience. Rather than focusing solely on the urogenital system's recovery, I highlight how core strength, pelvic floor rehabilitation, and overall fitness create a stronger foundation for subsequent pregnancies.The reality of juggling exercise with an existing child presents unique challenges. That post-workout fatigue that was manageable during your first pregnancy takes on new meaning when a toddler needs your attention! I offer practical strategies for adjusting workout intensity to preserve energy while still maintaining strength. Most encouragingly, I share the positive trend I've observed among athletic women who approach their second pregnancies with significantly less fear around movement. Many find they can maintain higher training intensities longer, resulting in better physical experiences and faster recoveries.Whether you're actively trying for another baby or simply contemplating your future family expansion, this episode provides thoughtful guidance for stacking the deck in your favor physically.

    Brad Johnson is the Co-founder of Triad Partners, an organization that helps financial advisors grow their businesses. Before co-founding Triad, Brad spent 13 years at Advisors Excel as a VP of Advisor Development, coaching top financial advisors who managed over $1.5 billion in assets. Brad is also the host of the podcast, Do Business. Do Life, where he interviews thought leaders and helps financial advisors integrate their work and personal lives. Raised on a farm in Kansas, Brad's personal interests include CrossFit, bass fishing, collecting red wine, and supporting children's charities. In this episode we discuss the following: I love the Stoic lesson Brad shared about the prized cup. If we expect our prized cup to never break, we'll be devastated when it does. But if we've already been through the mental exercise of the cup breaking, it can be much easier to stay calm and confident when our prized cups do break. Being an entrepreneur is constantly dealing with broken, prized cups. I loved hearing how Brad tries to apply Jocko's advice for dealing with setbacks by responding with a simple “Good.” Brad's emphasis on seeking out mindset coaching stood out. The best athletes get the most coaching. So it makes sense that we too need regular feedback and mindset coaching to reach our potential. By jumping into the trench himself, Brad is giving himself more opportunities to deal with broken cups. And I love his advice for how we can deal with the broken cups in our lives.   Connect on Social Media: X: https://twitter.com/nate_meikle LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/natemeikle/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nate_meikle/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@nate.meikle
