In this compelling episode, Mark Jewell welcomes Lon Stroschein, founder of Normal 40, to explore the journey of intentional leadership and life transitions. From his South Dakota farm roots to becoming a corporate executive and eventually founding Normal 40, Lon shares powerful insights on courage, clarity, and finding meaning in midlife. Together, Mark and Lon discuss themes of leadership, personal growth, and the evolving role of agribusiness professionals.

Key Takeaways:

What It Means to Be Intentional:
Lon defines intentionality as "trust with clarity where you expect to be led and lead others," emphasizing the importance of clarity, consistency, and proactive daily actions.
From Wandering to Clarity:
Lon's concept of Normal 40 speaks to professionals who feel caged, frustrated, or unfulfilled despite external success. His story of leaving a high-powered executive role resonates with anyone questioning their career path or legacy.
Courage vs. Confidence:
Making big life changes isn’t about starting with confidence; it’s about leaning into courage. Confidence is built through courageous action and persistence.
Building a Backup Plan:
Lon stresses the importance of developing a side project or skill—not necessarily for income but for proof of your own potential and as a confidence-builder.
Insights for Agribusiness Leaders:
Leaders in agribusiness must balance the needs of their teams and customers while remaining intentional in their roles. Empowering employees to solve problems in their own way fosters engagement and innovation.

Notable Quotes:

“If you wait until you’re ready, you better be ready to wait.” – Lon Stroschein
“You’re not going to leave with confidence. You’re going to leave with courage. Confidence comes later.” – Lon Stroschein

Save Early, Save Often:

Delayed gratification and early savings can provide the freedom to explore new opportunities later in life.

The Four Levels of Value with Mark Jewell 29:41

منذ 11 يومًا29:41

29:41

In this Thriving Thursday edition of the Intentional Agribusiness Leader Podcast , Mark Jewell goes solo to break down a game-changing framework: The Four Levels of Value . If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck on the hamster wheel , constantly busy but not making real progress , this episode is your wake-up call. Mark dives deep into how every task, relationship, and transaction in business can be categorized into one of four levels of value —and how understanding this framework can help agribusiness leaders stop spinning their wheels and start focusing on what truly drives results . 💡 This episode is packed with actionable strategies to help you: ✔ Identify where you're wasting time and how to reallocate it ✔ Recognize which customer relationships are worth investing in (and which ones aren’t) ✔ Eliminate low-value activities that are draining your energy ✔ Use technology and delegation to free up time for high-impact work Key Takeaways: 🔹 The Four Levels of Value Defined 1️⃣ Transactional Value – The lowest level of value. A basic exchange of goods/services for money. Example: Buying gas— whoever is cheapest or most convenient wins . 2️⃣ Expected Value – The table stakes. To stay in business, you must meet basic expectations like availability, reliability, and service. Example: A manufacturer delivering products on time at a competitive price. 3️⃣ Added Value – The differentiators. The extra touch that makes you stand out from the competition. Example: Unique programs, product innovations, or customer service that goes above and beyond. 4️⃣ Partnership Value – The ultimate goal. A true trusted advisor relationship where your customer sees you as essential to their success. Example: High-value customers who invest in your business because they trust and rely on you. 🚀 What’s Holding You Back? – Many agribusiness leaders get stuck at the value-added stage , constantly chasing new ideas to stay relevant. The real key is moving into partnership-level value , where you and your clients mutually invest in success . 📊 The 80/20 Rule of Customer Value – 80% of your revenue comes from just 20% of your customers . Yet, most stress comes from the other 80% . It’s time to identify who truly matters and invest in those relationships . 🔧 How to Get Off the Hamster Wheel: ✔ Audit Your Time – Identify which tasks fall into each level of value and eliminate low-impact activities . ✔ Leverage Technology – Use AI tools like ChatGPT for proposals , automation for scheduling, and CRM systems to streamline repetitive work . ✔ Delegate & Outsource – If a task isn’t adding strategic value, someone else should be doing it . ✔ Prioritize High-Value Customers – Spend more time on partnerships and less time chasing transactional business. Notable Quotes: "Being on the hamster wheel is not an intentional way to live." – Mark Jewell "If you feel resentful of your work, it’s likely because you haven’t been intentional with your time." "Anything that is a value-add today will eventually become expected—so keep innovating." "The highest-value customers are often the least stressful—focus on them." Your Next Steps: 📌 Action Item: Take 10 minutes to list out your top 20% of customers —the ones bringing in 80% of your revenue . How can you move them from added value to true partnership? 📞 Want to break free from the daily grind?

Key Takeaways: Intentional Leadership & Goal-Setting – Success comes from clarity, discipline, and accountability in both sports and business. Leaders must set goals and manage teams toward achieving them with precision. Building a High-Performing Team – The strongest individuals don’t always make the best team; collaboration, complementary skills, and shared vision drive success. The Reality of Business Growth – Scaling a business involves pruning, restructuring, and tough decisions , including layoffs and shifts in strategy, to create long-term stability and growth . Culture Beyond Perks – True company culture isn’t about happy hours and perks —it’s about providing clear expectations, professional growth opportunities, and aligning employees with company objectives . The Power of Storytelling in Agriculture – Farmers and agribusinesses must strategically position their brand , communicate their value , and educate consumers to create a stronger, more sustainable industry . Notable Quotes: “If you say something is your goal, then it becomes my goal. And I will hold you accountable to it.” – Ali Cox “The strongest eight people don’t always make the fastest rowing team. It’s about precision, balance, and working in sync—just like a high-performing business.” – Ali Cox “Happy hours are fun, but they’re not culture. Culture is how you grow people, build systems, and create opportunities for success.” – Ali Cox “Farmers are making multimillion-dollar investments in sustainability and innovation. The challenge is ensuring they see a return on that investment.” – Ali Cox “Most people love autonomy—until they feel lost.

Leadership in a Changing Landscape 51:06

منذ 18 يومًا51:06

51:06

In this Teaching Thursday episode of the Intentional Agribusiness Leader Podcast , Mark Jewell and Jon Anderson tackle one of the most pressing discussions in the industry today— intentional leadership in the face of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement . With new leadership in Washington and growing concerns about the future of agriculture, Mark and Jon provide a bold, thought-provoking conversation about how agribusiness leaders can take control of their future rather than reacting to it . With Robert F. Kennedy Jr. confirmed as the Secretary of Health and Human Services and Brooke Rollins leading the USDA , major changes in food policy, health regulations, and sustainability could impact everything from farm operations to the agribusiness supply chain . Many in the industry are feeling uncertain, if not outright resentful —but Mark challenges listeners to rethink where that resentment comes from and how the industry can step up with true intentional leadership instead of resistance. Key Takeaways: 🚜 Resentment Comes From a Lack of Intention – The times we are most resentful in life are often the times we were the least intentional . If ag is feeling backed into a corner , could it be because the industry hasn't proactively led the conversation about health, sustainability, and food production? 🛠 Intentional Leadership = Deliberate, Distinct, and Divine – Mark introduces the 3 D’s of Intentional Leadership : 1️⃣ Deliberate – Acting with purpose and foresight, not just reacting to crises. 2️⃣ Distinct – Leaders must carve their own strategic path rather than copying past approaches. 3️⃣ Divine – Rooting leadership in values, purpose, and long-term vision rather than short-term profit or convenience. 💡 Health & Food Policy Changes Are Coming—How Will Ag Respond? – The MAHA movement is focused on eliminating harmful food additives, improving nutrition, and addressing chronic disease . While farmers and agribusinesses have always played a critical role in feeding America , this shift presents a potential challenge or opportunity —depending on how ag chooses to respond . 📉 Ag’s Historic Rally Cry: Feed the World → Now What? – Over the last 30 years, the feed the world message drove massive growth in agricultural productivity. But with today’s food distribution problems and consumer distrust in industrial food , is it time for a new mission ? 🤔 Is Agriculture Leading or Reacting? – The industry is at a crossroads —either step up and help shape the narrative on health, food, and sustainability , or get caught in a political battle that may not serve its long-term interests . 💬 Intentional Action Steps for Agribusiness Leaders: ✔ Engage in the Conversation – Don’t let policy be dictated without the voices of real farmers and agribusiness leaders . ✔ Innovate in Nutrition & Sustainability – Find ways to adapt to consumer demand for healthier, more transparent food production . ✔ Take Ownership Instead of Blaming Policy Makers – The best way to stay ahead of disruption is to lead the change instead of resisting it. Notable Quotes: "The times I’ve been most resentful in life were the times I was least intentional." – Mark Jewell "If you don’t tell your story, someone else will tell it for you." – Jon Anderson "Ag is feeling anxious about what’s coming next, but maybe that’s because we didn’t take the lead in the conversation sooner." – Mark Jewell "Leadership isn’t just about survival—it’s about foresight, strategy, and taking action before change is forced upon you." – Jon Anderson Tune In & Take Action! If you’re an agribusiness leader, this episode is a must-listen . Don’t just wait for policies to dictate the future— be part of shaping it . 📢 Listen now, share with your network, and join the conversation about the future of intentional leadership in agribusiness! 🚀…

In this special mash-up episode of The Intentional Agribusiness Leader Podcast , host Mark Jewell sits down with three exceptional leaders—Brent from Fibertech Plastics, Jed Miller from Ag Partners Cooperative, and Jeremy Groeteke from Syngenta. Together, they explore the power of intentional leadership, the role of company culture in shaping success, and the importance of talent retention in the agribusiness industry . Through insightful conversations, these industry leaders break down how deliberate decision-making, cultural alignment, and strategic leadership can transform businesses and empower teams. Listeners will gain valuable takeaways on navigating change, fostering engagement, and building a work environment where employees thrive . Key Takeaways: Intentional leadership is about clarity, focus, and purpose-driven action , ensuring teams stay aligned with organizational goals. Company culture is either created by default or by design —leaders must actively shape and reinforce values within their teams. Talent retention thrives when employees see meaningful progress and impact in their work —misalignment leads to disengagement and turnover. Leaders must master change management , guiding teams through transitions with clear communication and strategic direction. Saying 'no' is as important as saying 'yes' —staying out of the weeds allows leaders to empower their teams and focus on high-value tasks. Vulnerability and transparency foster trust and innovation , enabling employees to take risks and push boundaries for growth. Investing in team engagement, mentorship, and recognition pays off , leading to stronger employee satisfaction and higher performance. Notable Quotes: 💡 "Culture is going to get created one way or the other. It's just either going to be by default, or it's going to be by design." - Mark Jewell 💡 "Biggest thing is making sure that the talent is working on the right problems. When talent tends to work on problems that don't get to market...the talent gets frustrated and they leave." - Jeremy Groeteke 💡 "To be intentional, you have to be deliberate. You can’t build a thriving team without first creating clarity and focus." - Brent 💡 "If you don't tell your story, somebody will make it up for you." - Jeremy Groeteke 💡 "We are responsible for taking advantage of the gifts we’ve been given—if we don’t use them, it’s like telling God ‘thanks, but no thanks.’" - Jed Miller Why You Should Listen: This episode is packed with practical insights from real agribusiness leaders who have built thriving teams and sustainable companies. Whether you're a CEO, sales leader, agronomist, or entrepreneur , you'll walk away with actionable strategies to enhance leadership effectiveness, build a strong company culture, and retain top talent. 🔹 Ready to lead with intention?

If you missed Part 1, go back and listen—it lays the foundation for today's discussion on leadership mistakes that create unnecessary stress, inefficiency, and disengagement. In this episode, Mark and Jon expand on the final three mistakes that leaders make , revealing why accountability, coaching, and recognition are essential for a thriving workplace. Whether you're managing a team or looking to improve your leadership skills , this episode will challenge you to step up and lead with greater clarity and purpose . Key Takeaways: 💡 People WANT Accountability – Despite what many think, employees crave structure and accountability because it provides them with direction and clarity. Without it, stress and uncertainty increase , leading to disengagement. 🏇 The Power of Coaching & Mentorship – Leadership isn’t about control; it’s about guidance . Like a rider with reins, a great leader knows when to give direction and when to step back , allowing people to grow while ensuring they don’t feel lost. 🎖 Recognition & Appreciation Drive Engagement – A staggering 60% of employees leave their jobs due to feeling unrecognized . Simply acknowledging good work can boost productivity by 23% , while genuine appreciation increases it by over 40% ! Leaders who recognize and value their people see higher retention and stronger team performance. 🚀 Intentional Leadership Is a System, Not a Guessing Game – To lead effectively, leaders must have structured systems for setting expectations, providing direction, holding people accountable, and offering recognition . 📌 Notable Quotes: 📢 "People seek pressure so they can experience the release of pressure. They want accountability because it gives them clarity on where they stand." – Jon Anderson 📢 "The reins are not there to control—they're there to guide. Leaders should mentor their people, not micromanage them." – Jon Anderson 📢 "If you could invest in something that gave you a 23-46% increase in productivity, you'd do it in a heartbeat. That ‘something’ is recognition and appreciation." – Mark Jewell 🎯 Action Steps: 🔹 Evaluate Your Leadership Practices – Are you setting clear expectations? Are you providing guidance or just assuming your team knows what to do? Are you recognizing and appreciating your people? 🔹 Implement Regular Coaching & Feedback – Schedule consistent check-ins where you provide guidance, feedback, and accountability . If you only provide feedback when something is wrong, you’re missing a huge opportunity. 🔹 Create a Recognition & Appreciation System – Don’t just assume people know they’re valued—make it part of your leadership rhythm . 📣 Join Us for The Thriving Leader Event! 🚀 March 18-19, 2025 | Nashville, TN 🔥 The easiest way to level up your leadership is by immersing yourself in two days of high-impact training with our expert coaching team . 🎟 Register by February 21st to secure your spot! 📩 Email ani@themomentumcompany.com or visit TheMomentumCompany.com to learn more. 🔊 Don’t just survive—lead with intention!

What Your Employees Tell Us That They Don’t Tell You 44:48

منذ 5 weeks44:48

44:48

In this powerful episode of The Intentional Agribusiness Leader Podcast , host Mark Jewell welcomes Jon "The Cowboy Coach" Anderson for an eye-opening conversation about the common mistakes managers make that create unnecessary stress and inefficiencies. Jon, Senior Success Coach at The Momentum Company , shares his journey from agribusiness to leadership coaching, emphasizing the importance of intentional leadership, clarity, and communication . From failing to set clear expectations to avoiding difficult conversations, this episode breaks down the biggest roadblocks managers face —and more importantly, how to fix them. Whether you're leading a team, a business, or your own household, these insights will help you become a more effective, confident, and thriving leader . Key Takeaways: 🔥 Intentional Leadership Starts with Clarity – A lack of clear expectations creates confusion, inefficiencies, and frustration for both managers and employees. Leaders must define what success looks like for their teams. 🚀 Giving Clear Direction Matters – Setting goals isn’t enough; leaders must also guide their teams on how to achieve them . Without direction, employees are left guessing, which leads to wasted time and disengagement . 🤝 Regular Check-Ins Build Trust – Many leaders fail to sit down with their people beyond surface-level conversations. Strong leaders take time to understand their team’s challenges, celebrate wins, and provide support before issues escalate. 🔍 Stop Making Assumptions – When leaders don’t check in, they create stories in their minds about why employees are struggling or disengaged . Assumptions lead to misunderstandings and resentment— honest conversations lead to solutions . 🛑 Don’t Wait for Leadership to Give You Direction – If you feel lost in your role, take the initiative . Set up meetings with leadership, ask for expectations, and clarify your path forward. Leadership is not a title—it’s a mindset. Notable Quotes: 📢 "You don’t have to wait for your leader to give you direction. If you’re not getting the support you need—go ask for it!" – Jon Anderson 📢 "We often get stuck in stories about people at work—stories that might not even be true. The best way to break free?

Unification Leads to Multiplication: Building the Momentum Company 48:46

منذ 8 weeks48:46

48:46

Welcome to this special episode of The Intentional Agribusiness Leader Podcast where I am excited to share a conversation from the Breaking Chains podcast. In this episode, Christine and I dive deep into part three of our series, “Unification Leads to Multiplication.” This series captures our journey of merging our businesses and lives with the overarching theme of Supernatural Unification for 2024. We also unveil the heart and vision behind The Momentum Company —our holistic training and coaching enterprise designed to unify leaders, teams, and organizations. If you’re a leader navigating friction, facing challenges with team alignment, or seeking to elevate your organization’s culture, this episode is for you. Key Takeaways Why Unification is Key to Growth Unity starts at home and extends into teams and businesses. Marriage is a model for becoming one , and this same principle can transform leadership and team dynamics. The Momentum Company’s Mission Our vision is to equip leaders who operate from overflow—grounded, confident, and unified. We focus on addressing divisiveness and friction in organizations to create cohesive, thriving teams. Agitation vs. Friction Friction arises from poor communication and unresolved issues, causing momentum to stall. Agitation stirs things up to reveal what matters most, fostering growth and unity. The Heartbeat of Corporate Culture The word “corporate” comes from “core” (heart) and “por” (to pull forward). Leaders have a moral obligation to curate environments where their people can thrive—not just survive. Holistic Solutions for Leaders and Teams Thriving Leader Event: Join us February 4-5, 2025, in Nashville for an immersive leadership experience. Summit Program: A mastermind designed to elevate mid-level managers into impactful leaders. Executive Coaching: Personalized coaching for C-suite leaders seeking to align their lives and organizations. Memorable Quotes “Unified leadership begins at home. When leaders align with their vision and values, everything else flows.” – Mark Jewell “Leadership isn’t about power—it’s about creating environments where people can discover their own greatness.” – Christine Jewell “Agitation shakes us out of comfort and forces us to grow, unify, and lead with intention.” – Mark Jewell If this episode resonates with you, let’s connect.
