    Stop Playing Small - This Is What Real Coaching Actually Does

    What if the thing holding your business back isn't your market, your team, or your budget — but the story you're telling yourself? Clint sits down with Arron Chambers — lead pastor at Journey Christian Church and executive coach with Novus Global — to unpack what coaching really is, why everyone from Netflix to local realtors is using it, and how two powerful tools (the Racket and the Ownership Reframe) can shift the way you think about your business starting today.

  3. The Poison on Your Plate: What Big Ag Never Told You About Your Food

    The Poison on Your Plate: What Big Ag Never Told You About Your Food

    What if the pesticides in your food were quietly destroying your gut — and almost no one was talking about it? That question sent Jerry, owner of All States Organic Supply in Northern Colorado, down a path he calls the Grand Canyon. In this episode, I sit down with Jerry to find out why he left conventional agriculture behind and built a 100% organic herbicide and pesticide supply company. It started with his wife's unexplained health struggles and a doctor's recommendation that sent them on a multi-year research journey into soil biology, gut health, and the deep connections between what we grow and how we feel. What Jerry found was a network of farmers, soil scientists, and biologists who are quietly changing the way food gets grown — one field at a time. What You'll Learn Why seed quality is the single most important starting point for growing organic, and why you can't trust the word "organic" on a bag without looking furtherHow to read soil and compost labels to find truly certified organic products — look for OMRI, WSDA, or CDFA sealsThe story of soil biologist Gary Zimmer, who accidentally had to destroy every dairy cow in Hawaii and spent the next fifty years trying to fix what he foundHow one regenerative farmer in Nebraska averaged 310 bushels of corn while neighboring fields were completely wiped out by fungal diseaseWhy the same companies that sold synthetic fertilizers and pesticides to agriculture are often the same companies in the pharmaceutical business — and what that means for your health choicesChapters 00:00 — Introduction: Meet Jerry of All States Organic Supply00:01 — Jerry's wife's health crisis and how it started everything00:10 — Meeting Gary Zimmer: The soil biologist who has been to North Korea00:19 — The Hawaii dairy disaster and what one insecticide did to eighteen farms00:27 — Why organic growers share knowledge and have no borders00:34 — GMO seeds, Monsanto, and why saving your own seeds became a legal battle00:40 — How to read organic soil labels: OMRI, WSDA, and CDFA explained00:48 — Soil biology: Why bacteria and fungi matter more than NPK00:57 — Thym Pro, Kelp Pak, and the 310-bushel corn story01:05 — Japanese beetles, grubs, and organic solutions that work01:12 — Why organic soil means watering far less than you think01:18 — The agriculture-pharmaceutical connection01:24 — Upcoming shows and how to find All States Organic SupplyResources Mentioned Gary Zimmer — soil biologist and author (Wisconsin)OMRI (Organic Materials Review Institute) — organic certification program out of OregonWSDA — Washington State Department of Agriculture organic labelCDFA — California Department of Food and Agriculture organic labelThym Pro — thyme oil-based organic fungicideSea Tonic — cold water seaweed from the St. Lawrence Seaway, CanadaKelp Pak / Calpak — cold water kelp from South AfricaDouglas Plant Health BiologicalsColorado Farm Show (Greeley)Colorado Fruit and Veggie Show (Westminster)Contact and Links Mentioned Website: allstatesorganicsupply.comGreeley Farmer's Market — Lincoln Park, Greeley, CO | Saturday morningsUpcoming shows: Colorado Fruit and Veggie Show (Westminster) | Home and Garden Show (March, Greeley) | Colorado Farm Show (Greeley)If this episode opened your eyes to what's in your soil and on your plate, share it with someone who grows their own food or is trying to eat cleaner.

  4. Are Pageant Queens Just Fake Smiles and Backstabbing?

    Are Pageant Queens Just Fake Smiles and Backstabbing?

    Are pageant queens just fake smiles, big hair, and backstabbing drama? That is what the movies want you to believe. Miss United Universe Brandi Babin is here to blow that up entirely. In this episode, I sit down with Brandi — Northern Colorado native, founder of the Reclaim platform, and the inaugural Miss United Universe — to challenge just about every assumption most people carry about the pageant world. We get into the real sisterhood behind the sashes, the personal crisis she survived on the way to her first crown, and the platform she has been building and living for over five years without wavering once. Fair warning: this one gets real, fast. What You'll Learn Why everything Hollywood taught you about pageantry is almost completely wrong — and what it actually looks like insideHow Brandi went from a Word document she wrote in her darkest season to a published guidebook, a podcast, and an entire platformWhat suicidal ideation actually feels like from the inside — and the five-minute survival strategy that got her through itWhy she won a national title in a $300 Facebook Marketplace dress doing her own hair and makeup — and what that says about what actually mattersHow self-talk is the single most powerful thing you can change, and why you should start with just one sentenceChapters Intro: Meet the Woman Behind the CrownWhat Movies Get Completely Wrong About PageantryFrom Mrs. Colorado to Miss United Universe: The JourneyThe Personal Crisis That Became a PlatformThe Word Document That Became a BookReclaim: The Guidebook, Podcast, and PlatformHow to Get Started in Pageantry Without Losing Your MindButt Glue, Crowns, and the Reality Behind the StageFinal Words: Talk to Yourself Like a Five-Year-OldResources Mentioned Reclaim: A Journey to Self-Discovery (guidebook/workbook)Self Rediscovery Guide (mini version, $13)Shattered to Unbreakable Podcast (100+ episodes, Season 9 coming)Reclaim University (DIY video courses)Brainspotting resources (available on her website)Contact and Links Website: thereclaimstrategy.comInstagram (pageant): Miss United UniverseInstagram (personal): brandy.babin2Instagram (platform): thereclaimstrategyFacebook: Miss United UniverseIf this episode challenged the way you see pageantry — or the way you see yourself — share it with someone who needs to hear it.

  5. Are Insurance Agents Lying to you.....?!

    Are Insurance Agents Lying to you.....?!

    Are insurance agents lying to you? Or are they the one person standing between you and a very expensive mistake? I sat down with James Seela, founder of Seela Agency in Greeley, Colorado, to challenge some of the biggest assumptions people carry about insurance — that agents are just out for your money, that going online is just as good, and that filing a claim is always the right move. What James shared flipped a lot of that on its head, and I think it will for you too. We also got into the entrepreneurship side of running an independent agency — two years of hard lessons, what it takes to build a village, and the goal every business owner is chasing: working on the business instead of in it. What You Will Learn: Why your claims record works like a credit score and how a single filing can follow you for yearsThe real math behind when to file a claim and when to quietly walk awayHow storm-chaser roofers create problems that a trusted local agent can protect you fromWhy small businesses are often unknowingly out of compliance with their own lease coverage requirementsWhat two years of building an independent insurance agency actually teaches you about entrepreneurshipChapters: Intro — Are Agents Really Scam Artists?

  6. Helping Single Mothers Rebuild Their Lives in Northern Colorado

    Helping Single Mothers Rebuild Their Lives in Northern Colorado

    What does it really take to help a single mother rebuild her life — not just for 90 days, but for good? In this episode, I sit down with Jaymi Anderson, Executive Director of the Genesis Project of Northern Colorado, to talk about one of the most meaningful organizations in our region. The Genesis Project operates out of a multifamily house in downtown Greeley, providing transitional housing and wraparound support for single mothers — many of whom are navigating trauma, substance abuse recovery, domestic violence, or involvement with the justice system. But this is not just a housing program. It is a long-term community built around real relationships, honest accountability, and the belief that every woman deserves a genuine second chance. What You Will Learn: How the Genesis Project's model goes far beyond transitional housing — and why that depth matters for lasting changeWhy community and shared living are the true engines of transformation for the women in the programHow trauma shapes behavior and coping patterns, and the practical ways the Genesis Project helps women build new defaultsWhat real success looks like in this work — from family reunification hearings to spontaneous backyard barbecuesHow paying off their mortgage has allowed the Genesis Project to stretch every donated dollar further and respond to new needs like the Weld County childcare assistance freezeChapters: 00:00:00 — Introduction and Welcome00:00:44 — What Is the Genesis Project?00:01:56 — How the Program Works: Housing, Classes, and Support00:04:08 — More Than a Short-Term Fix: Why Community Is Everything00:07:07 — Trauma, Coping Mechanisms, and Building New Defaults00:09:58 — Success Stories: Big Wins and Small Ones That Matter00:13:50 — Being Just One Piece of the Puzzle00:17:26 — Program Timeline: Phase One, Phase Two, and Aftercare00:21:58 — Impact by the Numbers00:23:47 — The Genesis Project's History: Founded 200200:25:18 — Paying Off the Mortgage and What It Means for Participants00:27:42 — The Weld County Childcare Crisis and How Genesis Responded00:31:12 — How to Get Involved: Events, Volunteering, and Donations How to Connect with the Genesis Project: Website: genesisprojectnoco.orgFollow on Facebook for upcoming events and volunteer sign-ups Events to Get involved in: Golf Tournament — SummerSpring Recognition Ceremony (Graduation)Autumn Ignite Gala — FallIf this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone who cares about this community, leave a review, and subscribe so you never miss a conversation like this one. #GenesisProject #NorthernColorado #SingleMothers

    The Northern Colorado Nonprofit That Turns Dance into Donations

    What if learning to two-step could change someone's life twice — once on the dance floor, and once in the community? Jordan Wagner is making that happen every single week. Jordan Wagner, founder and executive director of Country Kickup, joins Built in NOCO to share the story of one of Northern Colorado's most unique nonprofits. Country Kickup is a 100% volunteer-run 501c3 that teaches country swing and line dancing — and donates every dollar it earns to other vetted nonprofits in the community.
