Like many of you, I often have some sort of Internet radio going in the background while I work. I often listen to all kinds but my favorite genres are Texas Country music and Classic Rock. Well one day as I was working, a song crossed over that I didn't recognize, but found an instant connection with. I stopped what I was doing to research a bit and found that name was Brenn Hill. That was a few years ago and I have been a fan ever since. Brenn is from Utah and is passionate about the Western way of life and about agriculture. We chat today about his "why" behind his music... and I get to ask him some of the inspiration behind some of my favorite songs of his. This is an incredible episode for me to record and I hope you all enjoy it as well. You can find Brenn at https://www.brennhill.com/ and wherever you get your music online. As soon as you are done with this episode I encourage you to seek his music out and give it a listen.

This past fall, I was asked to speak at the Agriculture Future of America Leader's conference in Kansas City, MO. I was blown away by the experience and quality of the participants in this conference. In particular, I was very impressed by one particular individual, Grace Hasler. Grace was the leader of the track I was presenting to and she had an incredible energy. I knew I had to have her on the podcast. Today we chat about her experience as a student at Purdue, how COVID has affected that, about AFA, and about her plans for the future. I had a great time chatting with Grace. The future is bright!! Find Grace on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/grace_hasler/. To find out more about AFA go to www.agfuture.org
