Maxwell’s book ‘Failing Forward’ Linda interviews Greg Horn a College Basketball Coach, Business Entrepreneur, Minister, College Professor, Radio Host and Executive Director of a Non Profit. He also has a Chapter in John Maxwell’s Best Selling Book, “Failing Forward.” HOPE is Here began from a holy discontent that was growing in the heart of founder Greg Horn.

This is my most selfish episode. As a former Home Economics teacher, I would always skip Chapter 29 in the Foods textbook on Pies. Why? Because I, Linda Toupin, did not know how to make a good pie crust! So I asked Chatney to help me out. Not only does she make a delicious pie crust she shows us some really cool tricks and tools. Enjoy this great conversation about farm life and pie crusts.    Chatney’s Pie Crust Recipe    4 Pie Crusts    5 1/3 cups flour  2 tsp salt  2 cups Crisco  1 cup ice water    Combine flour and salt. Cut in Crisco with fork or pastry cutter until the dough is the shape of peas. Gradually add water until dough comes together. Do not get too moist, just enough until it pulls from the side of the bowl you can shape it into a ball(s) Bake at 450 for 10-12 minutes.   Link to more detailed recipe https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zSHVLnJt4LFOX0zve60snRaL0CUk4_4Y/view?usp=share_link About Common Sense Choices: "We are where we are by the choices we have made, or we have allowed others to make for us."

Her recipe:   Crock Pot Healthy Creations All organic meat and seasonal organic produce  Prepare in a 6-quart crockpot  I double the recipe every time I cook it so I use a larger crockpot and I freeze the containers after I cook it so I have it to pull out of the freezer as needed.  1 pound ground turkey 2 cups of chopped Lacinato kale 2 sweet potatoes chopped 2 carrots chopped 2 stalks of celery chopped 1⁄4 cup of sweet brown rice (if your dog is very active and works off a lot of energy) Several sprigs of parsley 4-6 cups of vegetable or chicken broth or water  Place meat in crockpot first, add chopped veggies and parsley sprigs. Top off crockpot with broth or water. Cook 8-10 hours on low in crockpot.  Allow to cool completely before storing. Reheat adding hot water or warm on stove top. DO NOT MICROWAVE!

These, along with a "milking the cows" mentality (it didn't matter if you were tired, in a bad mood or a relative had just died, the cows still had to be milked) created strong mental health habits and a solid sense of purpose. Linda went from milking cows to waiting tables as she worked her way through college where she earned her Undergraduate and Graduate degrees in Home Economics and Secondary Education. She taught in the public school system for ten years. During that time, she started her own in-home business and, over the next 38 years, built a multi-million dollar sales organization both nationally and internationally. Linda has trained tens of thousands of businesswomen around the globe in life and business skills. She is the mother of two and grandmother of two.
