Descripción

Sister Barb Younger, Prioress of Mother of God Monastery and Board President of The Village of Harmony Hill, shares the extraordinary story behind one of South Dakota’s most innovative and values-driven community projects. In this conversation, she unpacks the monastery’s legacy, why the sisters donated an entire square mile of land, and how it’s becoming a home for affordable housing, education, child care, and aging with purpose. From opening the only Challenger Learning Center in the region to building a 225 seat daycare and state-of-the-art senior care neighborhoods, this is a story about foresight, faith, and the kind of leadership our world needs more of. This isn’t just a feel-good story. It’s a blueprint. Sister Barb and the Benedictine sisters saw their chapter closing and instead of retreating, they leaned in. They’re rewriting what legacy looks like. Turning sacred land into a multi-generational, multi-purpose community rooted in hospitality, human dignity, and collaboration. Whether you're in city planning, education, senior care, or you're just looking for proof that small communities can dream big. This video will move you.

How to Grow your Chiropractic Office in 2025

Pregnancy, colic, migraines, burnout, better sleep, better focus. Dr. Bethany and Dr. Devin McMullen of Northern Peak Chiropractic unpack how a nervous system first practice serves everyone from two day old babies to 90 year olds. You will learn what Webster Technique looks like for moms, how Torque Release Technique can calm the system, and why objective nervous system scans (thermal, muscle tone, HRV) change the care plan conversation. You will also hear the real startup story: moving to Watertown, going door to door, booking 75 new patients before opening, building culture, finding a mentor, and making care convenient with flexible scheduling.

How Ted Takasaki Became a Fishing Legend | Hall of Famer, Record Holder & Business Pro

What does it take to become a fishing legend? In this episode of the Growing Business Collective, Nash sits down with Ted Takasaki. A Professional Walleye Angler, National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Famer, and record holder for the heaviest five-fish tournament bag in history. But Ted's story isn’t just about fish; it’s about risk, relationships, reinvention, and resilience. From walking away from a stable career at Hewlett-Packard to running one of the biggest names in fishing tackle (Lindy), Ted shares the business lessons that helped him double revenue, quadruple profit, and carve out a one-of-a-kind brand in a rapidly changing industry. He also talks about: * How he transitioned from sales to sponsorships * The secret to 30 years of brand loyalty * Why friends buy from friends (and how he lives that every day) * The power of forward-facing sonar and what’s next for the fishing world * What every aspiring angler, YouTuber, and business owner needs to know today Whether you're a fisherman, entrepreneur, or someone chasing your calling, this is a masterclass in longevity and leadership.
