The Green Dragon Podcast

Ever wonder why your family farm transition went so terribly wrong? Us too. That’s why we brought on Shelby Bothun to talk to us about the best and worst things to do in a farm transition. Shelby pulls from her own family business transition, her estate planning experience as founder and lead attorney at Ag Legacy Law, PLLC, and as the Professor of Agricultural Law at NDSU. Shelby teaches young and old how to successfully transition the family business, and gives us a look into the future of family operations.   Resources: Shelby's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shelby-g-bothun-esq-21428316a?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=android_app Progressive Ag: http://www.progressiveag.com//default.aspx

Dr. Preble joins us on the podcast to discuss a host of topics, from cybersecurity to AI to the value of studying the liberal arts. The liberal arts have usually been disregarded in recent times as unnecessary or unimportant, but maybe it's just because we haven't understood their value. We hope you enjoy this conversation. it was a pleasure having Dr. Preble join us.   Resources: Dr. Lucus Preble's Contact Info: https://wyomingcatholic.edu/person/lucas-preble/

This last month was one of the most monumental times in history for America and the world as we elected Trump for our 47th president. Dr. Cooper shares with us on how Trump is carrying the mantle of freedom for the Western World, and how he sees Trump's energy as a pro-life force that propels America to an amazing future. We then discuss the end of the Homer's The Odyssey: why did Odysseus take charge the way he did? Why was Penelope patient for her husband? Was Odysseus justified in his actions? We cover these questions and also about the difference between the Western and Eastern Worlds: a distinction you've probably never heard before. It is always a delight to talk with Dr. Cooper, and we can't wait to have him join us again on the Green Dragon Podcast.   Resources: That Hideous Strength - C.S.

It's a pleasure to welcome Chip back on another episode of the 'cast. I'm always so grateful for the opportunity to talk with Chip. Similar to last time, I get to ask him some questions that have been on my mind for a while, and he always does a marvelous job of helping me find the answers. Chip understands many of the nuances of life and knows how to give you the real answers you've been looking for. I learned so much from this conversation, and I hope everyone who listens to it will find some timeless wisdom. Looking forward to having Chip on again soon!   Resources: Chip's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chipgreen?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=android_app The Doorway Buck: https://www.thedoorwaybuck.com/

This week, we have none other than Jonathan's brother, Kevin Rensch on the 'cast. Kevin currently works for DARPA and has some very insightful thoughts on how to approach knowledge in searching for the truth. We discuss many topics, from A.I. as a tool for constructing solid arguments of thought to the danger of safetyism. It was really fun having Kevin on, and we can't wait until next time.
