This episode originally appeared on The Story of Agriculture Podcast, hosted by B.J. Eick of Herdmark Media.

Typically, people who grew up farming describe their experiences with memories of harvesting grains or caring for newborn animals, but Mark Jewell's experience in agriculture was a little different. Mark grew up working every day in chest waders and a boat on his family's leech operation!

This early entrepreneurial experience with fishing bait, combined with exposure to leadership training and speaking through FFA, led Mark on a journey of personal growth rooted in agriculture. Today, he operates his own business as a speaker, trainer and coach, seeking to help organizations and their employees stop surviving and start thriving.

In this episode, you'll hear…

• How Mark's business helps people move from surviving to thriving
• The importance of rediscovering your strengths and building upon them
• Why Mark thinks coaching is so important for young professionals

All of us, at some point in time, will have to convince someone else that our product or idea is the best option. But how do we do that most effectively? In this episode, we'll explore:

• Why focusing on features and benefits is the wrong approach
• Our 3 favorite (and most effective!) strategies for being a better communicator
• A Thrive Tip from Mark about striving for constant improvement and transcending what you think is possible
