This week, we are back and excited for this interview!
Mark got to visit our good friend Richard Leask from McLaren Vale who runs Leask Agri and along with his brother Malcolm, Hither & Yon.
Richard discusses their unique vineyard incorporating innovative soil management practices for a more holistic grape growing system. Mimicking this same circular mentality, they also have a storefront "cellar door" that very much is an extension of the farm, families, and grapes behind their label Hither & Yon.
As always, we look for a take-home message...
Richard reminded us of the importance of being self-aware enough to call yourself out when there is potential of a better way of doing things and committing to making the changes required even when change seems unpopular.

When a young single mother was brutally assaulted and murdered, her brother promised he'd find out who was responsible and bring the killer to justice. It would take more than 30 years, but the young man kept his promise, and in doing so, brought closure to his family.

Lynda and Cass kick off their new podcast series by exploring the fascinating world of forensic botany and ecology with leading expert Professor Patricia Wiltshire.
The team discuss how plant regrowth can be used to track a killer’s path months after a crime was committed and the infamous Soham murders – a case that Patricia's botanical evidence helped to crack and a trail that Lynda attended.
Over seven episodes, Lynda and Cass will investigate seven branches of forensics: discussing their own experiences, talking with experts, hearing how real life crime scenes are worked, exploring the latest innovations and demonstrating how CSI fact is even more thrilling than CSI fiction.
If you want to know what criminal investigation is like in real life, then get ready for a podcast that puts YOU at the crime scene.

In this episode we head down under... that's right. Mark is now in Australia on the first leg of his Nuffield travels and has discovered that although on the other side of the globe, farmers everywhere share many of the same issues. Digging a bit deeper, he finds that collaboration may not just be key to some strategic opportunities, it may be the one way to survive in this business of farming.

OK Boomer...
The ultimate collaboration in a farm business starts at home. Whether that be a spouse, partner, kids, parents or grandparents... without that core unit, your business may be vulnerable.
Today, we sat down with our kids. Living with a couple GenZ's can be pretty rewarding, humbling and eye-opening... IF WE LISTEN TO THEM!
We talked to both kids separately, then together to get a feel for how they look at farming and the business of agriculture. They share their thoughts on trends we fight but may be inevitable. They tell us how their purchase decisions are influenced and where they get their information.
And just like every interview thus far, we have lightbulb moments...
The biggest one... our kids don't fear change. They welcome it.

In this episode, we head to Guelph Ontario to sit with a friend and mentor Larry Martin.
We met Larry a few years ago as he coached us through an intense agriculture business management course.
Always the tough critic, especially when he sees untapped potential, he guided us through some significant breakthroughs in our business and helped give us some much-needed direction.
Today, we go a bit deeper into Larry’s past involvement with farmers, policymakers, and businesses and helps us to understand why some farmers push to further develop, and others seem content with the status quo.
We discovered that curiosity is the driver of personal development and improvement.
And now we are left wondering, how do we influence others to become more curious?

Can digital marketing be a gamechanger for your business?
In this episode, Mark sits down with Sandi to discuss her journey with social media and how they accidentally created “digital tourism” as a third enterprise of their farm business.

Mandy has been sitting on this recording since September 2018. She was worried about the quality of the audio, so she locked it away in the vault… Until now. This was the 3rd interview that she ever recorded for the show and needless to say it was (and still is) a very very big deal. Mandy had the opportunity to spend some time with our guest in her backyard apiary so you’ll hear cars and crows and airplanes in the background. But more importantly, you’ll get to hear a candid conversation with the author of Honeybee Ecology, Wisdom of the Hive, Following the Wild Bees, Honeybee Democracy, and his latest book The Lives of Bees. It is an absolute privilege to share highlights of her conversation with Dr. Thomas Seeley!

Eric and Glenn return from a couple weeks off of crazy travels with a few stories from the road including a "Men Who Love My Little Pony" ("Bronies") cosplay conference. In this episode, the guys sit down for a fantastic interview with Duke Law Professor Brandon Garrett to discuss his and colleagues' recent juror study. The most recent paper provides fingerprint proficiency test results to mock jurors to see how this information may impact their decision making and how reliable they believe fingerprint evidence to be.

Chasing Unicorns
In this episode, we head to Moosomin, Saskatchewan to have a conversation with one of Mark’s favourite farmers. Kristjan Hebert wears a lot of hats… husband, dad, farmer, business coach, speaker, entrepreneur, volunteer. But where we connect with him most is his ability to look at farming unconventionally. He leaves us with some amazing one-liners that to some seem unpopular in thought, but to us, they are little nuggets of gold.
-
Are farmers considered UNpopular?
Over the years, we've seen and felt both popular and unpopular. Socially and professionally, we are starting to finally connect the dots on why we felt this way, where we failed, and maybe how to become less unpopular moving forward in this new decade.

We (Mark and Sandi) introduce the podcast and give you a sense of what it's all about.
