Another return podcast guest this week. We had the fortune of hearing from Whitney Kinne first on episode 72 of the podcast. Today, Whitney returns and we discuss how to incorporate her framework of R.E.S.T. into our daily lives. We talk a lot about burnout and how we can try and get proactive to avoid it. Giving ourselves a little bit of margin so we can back up when we do get overwhelmed. Check out Whitney at https://www.whitneykinne.com/
Macey Hurst has been a friend of mine for quite sometime now. She was guest way back on Episode 25 of the podcast. So much has changed for Macey since then. Her and I have actually had many chances to work together in her time with Missouri Cattlemen's Association. We chat today with Macey about how her mental health journey has evolved since we last chatted. We talk about her life transitions and how an unexpected source gave her the encouragement to take the next step on the road to better mental health. Find Macey on Instagram
Jason Mauck and Zack Smith joined me to talk about the future of stock cropping. We discuss where they are in the development of a fully autonomous mobile livestock barn that can move between row crops thus achieving integration of livestock during the growing season.

James Rogers and Marissa Taylor of Northway Ranch Services joined me to discuss the work they are doing to free up ranchers to do the work they love and the work at which they excel. We discuss the importance, especially in the West, of managing stakeholder relationships between the rancher and those public and private partners with which they will inevitably have to do business.
Ganel-Lyn Condie is one of my favorite people on Earth. She is one of the hosts of the weekly podcast "Come Follow Me Real Talk." She is also a speaker, author, mental health advocate, and faith warrior. We chat today about how faith impacts our mental health. We also get into her 'why' around being an advocate for mental health and addiction. I'm going to be up front and honest, today's podcast was for me gang. I love Ganel-Lyn and all that she does. She is a huge influence on the way I advocate and speak about mental health.

John Sachse and I connected over the summer at a Kansas Beef Council Event. John had invited me to speak at a Stockmanship event in Leavenworth, Kansas and at the event we got to visit and know one another a bit. Since then, John has moved on from Kansas Beef Council and has returned close to home to his family's seedstock operation in Eastern Kansas. Today, we talk all about how mindset matters in our daily lives. How having proper mindset can help us on our mental health journeys. John has also started his own coaching business.
