Have you ever wondered how small-town values can shape a big-time career? Our special guest, Dakota Dawn Johnson, a podcast host and former Miss Rodeo USA, brings her unique journey to light, starting from her roots in Grady, Alabama, to her life on a Kansas ranch. From her early days as a rodeo queen to advocating for women's inclusion in rodeo events, Dakota's journey is a testament to hard work and perseverance. We also explore Dakota's insights into the world of sales, tracing her path from a kindergarten Walkathon fundraiser to becoming a top salesperson for Ariat International. She emphasizes the timeless value of sales skills and the importance of personal connections, even in a technology-driven world. Tune in to celebrate the charm of small-town life, the art of connection, and the courage to take leaps of faith in pursuit of dreams.
