Iowa State Cyclones face off against Tennessee State in a high-stakes March Madness opener—can the Cyclones avoid a shocking first-round exit? Host Nick Marovets breaks down Tennessee State’s three-point threats, key players like Aaron Nkrumah and Travis Harper, and how the Cyclones’ recent Quad 1 and Quad 2 dominance sets them apart. Matchups, team stats, and historical tournament context all come into play as Marovets debates whether Iowa State’s proven Big 12 experience will neutralize any underdog momentum. The conversation heats up as Marovets examines how playing in the powerhouse Big 12 Conference prepares Iowa State for deep tournament runs. He analyzes bracket projections that place Iowa State, Arizona, and Houston in the Final Four, evaluates the impact of extra rest days, and questions whether the Cyclones’ rugged schedule gives them a mental and physical edge. Cyclone fans, get ready: Is this the beginning of another unforgettable postseason surge?   Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

Have you heard Iowans are "risk averse" creatures? Research from Iowa State University not only suggests this may be true, but its origin may be tied to farmer trauma, passed down to our children and grandchildren. Chris Morris, PhD research shows stress from farming has a compounding effect over time and becomes mentally destructive. The resulting trauma not only results in risk averse behavior and higher than average suicide rates, but is passed down. Dr. Morris has spoken with farmers across the entire state, and his stories are heartbreaking and shocking. The immense pressure farmer's face of "feeding the world" and protecting their ancestors legacy are heavy burdens result in low-grade stress that builds. Making things more difficult, farmers rarely share these social pressures, and therefore lack the mental tools to reverse the trend. 💡 Find this show on your favorite player: https://iowapodcast.com/abi-survey-results ⚖️ Get guidance from Dentons Davis Brown: https://www.dentons.com/en/dentons-davis-brown 🐖 Get a free $30 gift card from Jethro's BBQ: https://iowapodcast.com/jethrosbbq Chapters: 00:00 - Survey Snapshot and Outlook 03:50 - Optimism Drivers and Policy Uncertainty 06:04 - Workforce Crunch and Talent Pipeline 18:46 - Energy Worries Rise 22:55 - Healthcare Costs and Coverage 28:56 - Retention and Iowa Manufacturing Pride
