What do a cruise, a rodeo cowboy, and a monkey have in common?
 More than you’d think.

In this episode, Cory and Camille of True Grit Edge share one of the most unforgettable moments from their trip—yes, it involves a monkey—and how it perfectly illustrates a principle that can change the way you handle everything in life:

E + R = O (Event + Response = Outcome).

You can’t control what happens to you.
 But you always control how you respond.

Through humor, real-life stories, and honest conversation, Cory and Camille break down:

•  Why your first reaction isn’t always your best one 
•  How to pause and “run your R” instead of reacting 
•  The importance of knowing your non-negotiables 
•  Why being kind matters more than just being “nice” 
•  How your response shapes not just outcomes—but who you become 

At True Grit Edge, this concept is at the core of how you lead, live, and show up under pressure.

Because whether it’s a tough conversation, a stressful moment, or something completely unexpected…
 the outcome is still yours to influence.

🎧 Real, relatable, and packed with perspective you can use immediately—this is one you won’t forget.

In this episode of Barn to Boardroom, Cory and Camille of True Grit Edge sit down with David Woods, founder and chairman of Magellan Executive Partners, to unpack one of the most powerful mindset shifts in leadership: reframing.

From being voted the shyest kid in school to becoming a trusted advisor to executives and leaders, David shares how changing the story he told himself transformed his confidence, leadership, and impact.

Together, Cory, Camille, and David explore:

•  Why 90% of your happiness is shaped by your interpretation—not your circumstances
•  How to shift from “I have to” → “I get to”
•  The power of listening—and knowing when to pause instead of react 
•  How creativity occurs on the backside of “no”
•  And how reframing can reduce stress, build stronger teams, and transform your perspective 

Because the difference between frustration and growth…
 is often just how you choose to see it.

🎧 Insightful, practical, and packed with real leadership wisdom—this episode will challenge the way you think.

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.

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.
