In this episode, we’re spotlighting the Forest Business School Linchpin Program, a unique opportunity for professionals in forestry, wood products, and related working lands fields. Launching its Fall 2025 Session on October 16th, this free program—made possible by last-minute funding—is tailored for key employees, with past participants ranging from logging crews and natural resource agencies to a baseball bat designer. Over ten weeks, participants engage in one-hour weekly remote sessions built on Socratic discussions rather than lectures, with about an hour of prep each week through articles, podcasts, or audio materials. The focus is on building leadership through a growth mindset, peer support, and practical application of proven business concepts, including Accountability, Continuous Improvement (with Theory of Constraints), Game Theory, and Project Management.
