Today I’m joined by Cate Havstad-Casad, hat maker, leather goods founder, regenerative rancher, and all-around creative force. Cate’s story weaves together multiple passions into a life and business that’s as intentional as it is inspiring. From building custom western hats in a horse barn wash stall, to launching Range Revolution, a leather goods brand sourcing hides from regenerative ranches, Cate shares how she’s tackling waste in the meat industry, strengthening supply chains, and creating heirloom-quality products that honor both the land and the people who steward it.
We talk about the realities of starting a mission-driven brand, the challenges (and wins) of building a regenerative supply chain from scratch, and how she balances entrepreneurship with motherhood. Cate also shares how slowing down, building the right team, and staying rooted in purpose have shaped her vision for the future of her multiple businesses.
If you’ve ever dreamed of blending creativity, agriculture, and impact into your own work, or you simply love a good story about building something beautiful from the ground up, this episode will leave you both inspired and motivated to take your own next step.
This episode is packed with actionable advice you can use right now to improve communication at work and beyond.
