Today's Episode is a re-release of one of my (and, based on feedback, yours too!) favorite episodes. Today's guest is Ethan Lambert, who is a 6th generation cattleman in Iowa... and this episode is the coolest. Discounting the quality on my own mic in the episode, it's packed with good information from talking about how he got into ranching, sharing truths behind some of the biggest anti-ag "buzzw...

Just a reminder: I am taking 2 weeks for thanksgiving / Josiah's birthday off BUT will be re-releasing old favorite episodes. I am also taking Dec 29 and January 5 off for the same reason.

First thing is first- today is episode 50. I definitely teared up when I realized that yesterday- because I didn't really plan for this podcast to be long term. I planned on doing it until I didn't want to anymore, and I thought that would happen a lot sooner than 50 episodes, sooner than a year even. So THANK YOU so much to everyone who listens- casually or every single week. Thank you to every g...

Thrilled to be back after a few weeks break- it was the perfect rest time to hunt down new guests, record some episodes, and catch up on some life stuff. This week's episode is going to be short BECAUUUUSEEE the educational portion of the conversation is long- over an hour- and I didn't wanna give you guys like an hour and a half / hour and 45 mins of one episode, so I kept it split but this is ab...

He is not only a rancher, but a pharmacist, and is able to combine those 2 things to speak to people working in ranching and agriculture about mental health as both a peer and someone who believes in responsible medicine consumption. He was an...
