This week, I’m behind the mic solo sharing two podcast episodes that really challenged and inspired me, and I think they’ll do the same for you. Both come from The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast, and while the guests (Piers Morgan and Emma Grede) couldn’t be more different, they left me thinking about two things we all need more of: the ability to really listen to people we don’t agree with, and the willingness to put in the work if we want to build a life of freedom. From creating meaningful conversations to embracing the grind, these episodes hit on lessons that are so relevant in both our personal and professional lives.

I’m sharing why those interviews stuck with me, how they apply to leadership in ag and western industries, and why I think we’ve got to stop shaming hustle and start owning the season we’re in. Whether you’re just starting out or building your next chapter, I hope this episode is a reminder that growth isn’t always comfortable, but it’s always worth it. If something’s been challenging you lately, a book, a podcast, a conversation—I’d love to hear it. Let’s keep learning, listening, and leading with purpose.
