In Part 1 of the Building Nebraska podcast, Mark Stock—co-founder of Big Iron Auctions—shares how a willingness to experiment with technology years ahead of the curve reshaped the auction business.

Long before online bidding was widely trusted in agriculture, Mark and his brother Ron were testing real-time internet auctions.

This episode dives into the importance of timing, trust, transparency, and knowing when to change—without losing the values that built your business in the first place.
