Walking through Site 2, you’ll find reminders of SFI's core values throughout the barn; integrity, respect, excellence, and adaptability. These values are not only written on the walls but also displayed in the actions of Site 2 team members.
Site 2 is led by Calvin B., who recently celebrated his 34-year tenure. Calvin started at Wilke Site 3 & Site 1 in 1990. At that time, Schwartz sold around 9,000 - 10,000 pigs a year. Along with that, Bradley W. of Site 2 will celebrate his tenure of 29 years this August. Calvin and Bradley certainly witnessed growth within the company, and we are lucky to have them both!
Thank you to our team members at Site 2 for continually displaying our values and setting an example for new and existing team members!

This is one of the media pieces I have done in Australia around the Spencer Leniu/Ezra Mam racial slur case in the National Rugby League's season opener. (The full radio interview is [audio link] is below. While racism against Mam and other Indigenous Australians must be emphatically called out and eliminated, I have been frustrated by a lack of nuance around this discussion by some mainstream media. Specifically, the assumption that Spencer Leniu requires antiracism education. Yes, he and many of us in Pacific communities may require education about the historical and ongoing colonial and racial violence towards Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities (including dispossession, displacement and more), but he is not a stranger to racism. I see him as being “punched down to”. In the longer radio interview below, I also discuss:
- the Samoan/Pacific concept of ‘Va’ and why Leniu’s offer to say sorry may not have been understood by non-Samoans
- which is why I call for the NRL to have cultural intelligence/culturally safe practices
- And I call for the NRL to add culturally safe restorative justice processes to its Judiciary process, so that our Indigenous and Pacific communities can heal from this event, not just get a ruling/punishment for Leniu that is meant to close the case.
In no way, do I wish to decentre or disrespect Ezra Mam, a proud Kuku Yalanji and Torres Strait Islander man. Both he and Leniu are brilliant rising stars who deserve a bright future in the game they both love. I’ll post a related Sydney Morning Herald article I'm quoted in too.
Lastly, if you’re interested why I’m talking about this case. First, I am a human rights advocate who has a special interest in race relations, and also social cohesion, which I can describe simply as the ‘glue’ or ‘fabric’ that keeps a society together or can tear it apart. I’m very interested in how we as Pacific peoples in Aotearoa NZ and Australia are contributing to building social cohesion or fraying (eroding) it. Thank you Agnes Tupou of ABC Pacific for interviewing me.

Do you have a no D!£%head policy?
Turns out it’s good for business.
Yesterday I had the privilege of listening to the Chair of the Welsh Rugby Union Richard Collier-Keywood talk eloquently about the important Welsh cultural asset he is now responsible for and the need for it to serve all stakeholders i.e. benefit society beyond the bottom line.
In business it’s known as CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) which emerged as a concept in the 1960s.
Back then it was seen as an altruistic means of doing more with a business than just making money, but it was assumed it would involve sacrificing profit to achieve it.
The growing evidence shows this is not the case.
Being environmentally responsible, inclusive and serving of all stakeholders (customers, employees, investors, the environment and wider society) builds a strong brand, customer engagement, profit and also investment opportunities.
The All Blacks have an NDH (No D!£%head) policy.
They clean their own dressing rooms, carry their own bags and essentially show humility, accountability and a recognition of all the stakeholders in their organisation.
For me, corporate social responsibility boils down to common sense, respect and humility.
It’s good to see those leading our national game going forward aspire to the same ethos.
And at a time of such high attrition in business in general, would it not be best to have a smart business model that ensures that everyone in the eco system is incentivised to see the venture succeed?

A credit union Super Bowl ad?? I had headed into the kitchen to replenish the chips and was on my way back to the game when I heard the words "...financial credit union." Too late! I'd missed it.
Q. Who was the plucky credit union that had dared to venture onto advertising's biggest stage?
A. Jovia Financial Credit Union, headquartered in Westbury NY (200K+ members and 22 branches across Long Island) aired a 30-second ad in the New York area during Super Bowl 2024 with the theme of catching "Jovia-itis" an "inflammation of money and happiness" caused by not-for-profit banking 👇
💡Bold move. At an average cost of $7 million for a Super Bowl ad, cynics might quip the not-for-profit line isn't a surprise but I say this is a bold move that will have caught the attention of millions of New Yorkers in the Jovia footprint and beyond as the credit union reportedly seeks to expand outside of its Long Island base (article in comments). It will be interesting to see whether Jovia can build on the campaign and how much it will move the needle in terms of growth in 2024.
What other credit unions have aired Super Bowl ads?
