In this episode, we’re doing some Q&A with our amazing Marketing Director, Sarah Wilson, putting me in the hot seat. I had you guys submit questions about Of The West; whether the questions were about ranch life, personal life, business, or entrepreneurship, nothing was off-limits. These questions are a bit more personal and will hopefully help you get to know me a bit better. I share my answers to these questions: What are my roles as a ranch wife? How do you get your spouse on board with your big dreams and ambitions? Have I ever had people discount my knowledge as a female in agriculture? How do I escape from work at home and be present with my kids? Be sure to subscribe/follow the show so you never miss an episode!
