Everyone assumes Camille is the tightly wound planner who needs the full game plan… and that Cory just shows up for the party.

They’d be wrong.

In this episode of Barn to Boardroom, the roles get flipped. Cory owns being the structured, standards-driven planner, while Camille surprises everyone with her more laid-back, let-it-unfold approach.

Then Jade Vecchio joins the conversation — and brings clarity.

We dive into:

• Why standards are the true separator in today’s business world
• The pillars he built his company on
• Why lowering the bar is never the move
• The influence of discipline, grit, and a little Tiger Style mentality

Jade also answers a powerful question:
 What’s the most important thing people should know about you?
His answer might surprise you — and it says everything about how he leads and lives.

And because this is Barn to Boardroom… we even get into Jade’s musician background and the fact that he can play “Big Iron” by Marty Robbins on the fly — which feels especially fitting here at Big Iron Ranch.

From “chores got done” to building something that lasts, this episode is about identity, discipline, and refusing to lower your standards — even when the world does.

Because when the bar drops… the ones who refuse to drop theirs stand out.

In Episode 14 of Barn to Boardroom, Cory and Camille sit down with Derek Penrod of Penrod Farms and Cattle to talk about what it really takes to start a farm from the ground up. Although Derek grew up farming alongside his family, he is the first generation building his own operation on this southeast Idaho property — and he shares the reality behind that journey.

From the stress and uncertainty to the grit, sacrifice, and long hours required, Derek offers an honest look at the challenges and rewards of creating a farm legacy. The conversation also takes a nostalgic turn as we talk about the old Miles family farm, reflect on the deep roots of agriculture in the region, and give shout-outs to past guests and fellow ag voices making an impact in the community.

And yes — Cory brings up the weather again.

Season 2 of Barn to Boardroom starts with a conversation that feels like catching up with an old friend and family member. Camille and Cory welcome Aaron White as the first guest of the season and share a few New Year’s resolutions before diving into what it really means to be “the best of the best.”

Aaron is one of the most respected people in the world of stadiums, arenas, and special events—but not just because of what he’s built or managed. He’s known for how he works: with strong ethics, consistency, and a genuine care for people. Just a warning, you will hear a few tractors rumbling by in the background.

In the Season One finale of Barn to Boardroom, Cory and Camille wrap things up with a few laughs, a lot of gratitude, and a frog in Cory’s throat. The conversation starts with Camille spotting shepherds in the field and turns into a simple lesson on leadership — the shepherds lead by example, the dogs follow that lead, and the sheep end up exactly where they need to be.

We close the season by thanking our incredible guests: Lesley Lyons, Dr. Rob Clark, Esmerelda Lee, the Long family, and Coach Brian Smith. And most of all, we thank everyone who listened, supported, and helped make Season One what it was.
