Today’s episode hits on a tough truth: nobody is coming to save you.

In this episode, I share a recent conversation with a farm owner feeling the pressure of tough decisions and past mistakes. We dig into why ego, fear of being exposed, and avoiding tough conversations hold people back—and how those same issues can sink a family operation.

I also talk about my own experiences, the lessons I learned from my granddad’s mistakes, and how I hit rock bottom before finally realizing it’s on me to change. At Legacy Farmer, we’re not here to save anyone. We’re here to lead those ready to transform their business and their life.

It’s not easy, but it’s worth it. Let’s get into it.

In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story that hits close to home. One of our family friends is facing the tough reality of closing her business, and it got me reflecting on my own journey. From the struggles I faced in my early entrepreneurial days to hitting rock bottom and feeling like a failure, I’ve been there.

Here’s the thing—sometimes, to figure out what we do want, we first have to go through the pain of learning what we don’t want. God uses those tough moments to shape us, teach us, and prepare us for what’s next. Whether you’re walking through your own valley of challenges or just need a reminder that it’s all part of the process, this episode is for you.

In this episode, I dive into the difference between reacting and responding. Often, when we react, it’s out of pure emotion—something triggers us, and we fire back without thinking, often leading to regrets and outcomes we don’t want. But God doesn’t react; He responds. Today, I’m breaking down how this principle applies in business, relationships, and life in general.

By creating space and choosing to respond thoughtfully, we can make better decisions that align with our goals and values. Join me as I share personal stories and practical ways to shift from reaction to response in your everyday life.
