    Good&Game - Adam Shriver - Conversation 2.7

    What amount of risk are we willing to take when it comes to our health? This is the core topic in conversation 2.7 with Adam Shriver. Adam is the Director of Wellness and Nutrition Policy with the Harkin Institute. Cancer in Iowa and the impact environmental risk factors play in the rising rates are top of mind with Adam and THI. Adam brings a unique angle to this conversation. Not only is he deeply committed to wellness and nutrition policy he has a strong foundation in philosophy and ethics. We talk about the science and research connecting nitrates and cancer then ponder risk when it comes to the opposing forces of health and economic gain.

    Good&Game - Rob Faux - Conversation 2.6

    We’ve reached the penultimate conversation in our secondcollection of conversations. Rob Faux moved to northeast Iowa with plans to be a professor, but those plans were diverted.  Faux started a small-scaled, diversified farm in 2004. Growing food for his family and his neighbors. In the summer of 2012, just as Faux was starting to bear the fruit from years of work and the traditional challenges that come with starting a farm, a plane spraying chemicals and pesticide kept the nozzle open as itsoared over his crops, his animals and himself. This moment changed everything. Good&Game Conversation 2.6 Faux shares his story which includes a battle with cancer and move into action.This is one of my favorite conversations to date. It’s real. It’s raw. It’s personal. It's informative. Tap into the conversation Monday morning through Spotify,Apple Podcasts or the Good&Game YouTube Channel. Be Good. Be Game.

    Good and Game - Kerri Johannsen - Fall 2025 Collection 2.1

    Iowa is 2nd overall on the list no one wants to be on- Cancer Rates per capita. What’s the explanation? Well, that’s where the Iowa Environmental Council steps in. This organization just celebrated 30-years of pairing positive environmental practice with good policy. In this conversation, I’m joined by the Senior Director of Policy and Programs, Kerri Johannsen. She has spent her professional career dedicated to energy and environmental solutions that are supported by good policy. From working on Senator Harkin’s Farm Bill to 9-years with the IEC, Kerri says we’ve reached a ‘crisis moment’ but one that must be met with nuance. This conversation surrounds the ‘Cancer and EnvironmentalRisks Factors’ research project, how the IEC, Iowa Farmer’s Union and Harkin Institute have banded together as an unlikely triad, and we get to know Kerri’s path to this moment.
