I’m excited to chat with a very fun guest, Brandi Buzzard, on the podcast today! Brandi and I dive into a variety of topics, like the collective ‘wake-up call’ that more and more people are experiencing in our society (especially post-pandemic), the hustle and always ‘do more’ mentality that many ag and farming families grapple with, being willing to start those really hard conversations with your loved ones when necessary, and more. There’s nothing wrong with wanting and doing more when it comes to your farm, career, finances, etc. But..at the end of the day, the MORE shouldn’t be taking you away from your family, and keep you working yourself into the ground forever.

 

In this episode, we will cover:

• Brandi’s story of pivoting from a corporate background to entrepreneurship, and what has unfolded for her since doing so 
• The collective ‘wake-up call’ that’s been happening in our society and ultimately, leading people to pursue their unique gifts with intentionality and purpose
• Why the messaging around going after your goals and building your dream life can sometimes be more overwhelming than helpful
• How the hard work and hustle mentality shows up in agriculture and for farming families
• The power of leading by example + having the willingness to start those hard conversations when change is needed
• What’s in store for Brandi in 2024
• Recognizing how powerful your actions and words can be, both inside and outside your home
