  Hey everybody, welcome to the good morning from the Chicken
• 0:04
  Coop podcast. My name is Kim Johnson and I am
• 0:07
  a mastermind, set coach, creative strategist, and also
• 0:09
  happen to be a farmer. This is my chicken coop and I
• 0:12
  come out here every day to record a podcast to teach
• 0:16
  distinctions, possibilities, new ways of thinking, and just bring
• 0:20
  some joy into the world. So welcome to the coop and let's
• 0:23
  start your day off in a fantastic way.
• 0:27
  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:31
  We are out here. The sun is up.
• 0:33
  It's a tad bit later. It's like what 50 minutes later
• 0:36
  than I normally post and the girls are actually I open the
• 0:40
  doors and they scrambled, ate their breakfast and they're out
• 0:43
  already walking around the farm. You're going to hear the
• 0:46
  Roosters any minute. But in any event, today we are
• 0:50
  talking about the progress of the garden today so that I can
• 0:54
  give you a little bit of an update.
• 0:56
  So the garden overall has been growing like crazy because the
• 1:01
  weather has been the right temperatures.
• 1:04
  I've seen lots of things happen as far as we've got tomatoes on
• 1:09
  plants already, we've got cucumbers on plants, we've got
• 1:12
  squash on plants. The herbs are going crazy.
• 1:15
  It's been the right temperatures, really good
• 1:17
  humidity, even like the very even humidity, and everything's
• 1:22
  going to town. Now where this becomes tricky in
• 1:25
  my mind is always OK. I see some things thriving and
• 1:29
  some things not thriving, and I'm looking and they're all in
• 1:31
  the same conditions, but some are thriving and some are not.
• 1:34
  And it's crazy because some of them like going to use the
• 1:37
  tomatoes because that's what I'm always like scoped in on my
• 1:40
  tomatoes. So I've got some tomatoes, same
• 1:43
  breed, same exact conditions, same area.
• 1:47
  Some of them are really strong and going well and some of them
• 1:51
  do not look that way. Some of them look weak and
• 1:54
  they're not as vibrant and one would say, OK, what's the
• 1:57
  reason? And here's the truth, I don't
• 1:59
  know. I can't figure it out.
• 2:01
  So I'm constantly experimenting. Today I'm about to go in and I'm
• 2:05
  going to feed everybody with a fish fertilizer.
• 2:08
  I'm going to go. And these are genuinely have all
• 2:12
  been treated the exact same way. Some are, some are not.
• 2:16
  And this is the point. Sometimes, even when you have
• 2:19
  conditions that are absolutely right, the perfect conditions,
• 2:23
  some people will thrive and some people won't.
• 2:25
  And then you have to figure out, OK, what is happening?
• 2:29
  Why is it that one can thrive and one cannot?
• 2:31
  And it's the same thing like going to college.
• 2:33
  It's right for some people, for some it's not.
• 2:35
  For some people. It's like, OK, I need to just go
• 2:38
  into, you know, a trade school. I need to go into doing
• 2:40
  something different. It's we are constantly
• 2:44
  throughout our lives, we can all be in the same conditions and
• 2:48
  some of us will do well and some of us won't.
• 2:50
  So if you're a leader and you're listening to this and you're
• 2:52
  looking at your team and you're saying why are some of you doing
• 2:55
  so well and some of you not doing so well?
• 2:58
  Remember, it's the same analogy. I've got some plants that are
• 3:02
  doing exceedingly well in these conditions and some that are
• 3:05
  not. And maybe it's just not meant
• 3:09
  for them to be in this kind of heat during the day because even
• 3:12
  though it's not that hot yet, and it could just be that it's
• 3:16
  already too warm for them. Maybe I bought seeds.
• 3:20
  It's totally possible because I get hooked on looking at what
• 3:23
  the end result is. And I've tried to be better with
• 3:25
  this. So I don't set myself up to
• 3:27
  fail. But there is a grand possibility
• 3:30
  that I may have done something that may have caused them just
• 3:33
  by buying a seed that's not right for this zone or this
• 3:37
  area. I'm in a zone 8B.
• 3:40
  And so that is very subtropical. And it, and it has, you know, a
• 3:44
  lot of humidity and high heat, not that we're there yet, but
• 3:47
  we're, we've had days that were already up in the 80s.
• 3:49
  So those, even though they're minor condition shifts, it can
• 3:54
  be major to something if it's not right.
• 3:56
  So as you lead your people and your teams, it's super important
• 4:00
  to remember that you've got to look at, even though it's like
• 4:03
  the right conditions for some, it's not going to be the right
• 4:06
  conditions for everyone. I've got lettuce in there right
• 4:09
  now. And for some reason, I tried
• 4:12
  three different kinds of lettuce.
• 4:13
  No, actually four different kinds of lettuce.
• 4:15
  And I can't get them to pop up now.
• 4:18
  I may have put them out too late, like it's not cool enough
• 4:23
  for them to sprout. We're going to see.
• 4:25
  And if I have to, I'll try a completely different kind.
• 4:27
  I did pelleted seeds. There's some of them are like
• 4:31
  I've only had like out of the hundreds of heads that I've
• 4:33
  planted, probably like 4 have come up.
• 4:36
  Why befuddling? I don't know why?
• 4:39
  So I have to keep staying patient and keep testing,
• 4:43
  patient testing, patient testing, and then I'll be able
• 4:46
  to figure it out. But the best thing to do, the
• 4:49
  best thing you can do for yourself and for everyone around
• 4:51
  you that you're working with leading, always double check and
• 4:54
  say I've got to look at the conditions and say, you know
• 4:58
  what? Just because the conditions are
• 4:59
  right for one doesn't mean it's the right for others.
• 5:01
  So you have to pivot and be able to say, OK, let me change my
• 5:05
  approach. Let me change my approach.
• 5:06
  Let me and change my approach because as you do that, you
• 5:09
  become a better leader, you become a better parent, you
• 5:11
  become a better partner. It's always about that.
• 5:14
  All right, my friends, I hope you have a blessed day and I
• 5:17
  will see you all tomorrow. Bye.
