Jealous Podcast

In this week's episode of Jealous Podcast, we have Iowa royalty in the building! Sarah Pratt, also known affectionately as, "The Butter Cow Lady", joins us to talk about how she earned this coveted title. Sarah has been sculpting butter cows, among other subjects for a number of years for the Iowa State Fair, as well as fairs all over the country.

Sarah, Melanie and Mackenzie talk about how she got her start, how persistence pays off and why she is excited to pass down her title down in the future. Sarah talks about her excitement for this year's Iowa State Fair after COVID-19 postponed last year's event.

Mackenzie's fan girling gets a little out of control, but all in all, she keeps her cool.

In this week's episode of Jealous Podcast, Mackenzie and Melanie interview special guest, Jacob Repp. If you're from the Des Moines area, you're probably familiar with his name. In 2017, Jacob began his mission to meet as many people as he could, but with one simple requirement: the individuals he met had to be different from him in one way, whether that was gender, sexuality, political views, etc.

Jacob's mission has been going strong ever since, and with the help of his social platform of choice, LinkedIn, he's been able to meet a variety of incredible people who have helped shape who he is today.

Thank you for joining us on Jealous podcast, Jacob! Our mission to name you Mr. LinkedIn begins now!
