  • Great guests

    The quality of the industry leaders as guests is why I keep listening to your podcast. I really appreciate being able to gain insight into how Schiefelbein’s manage their family interests in a large ag business. It’s a real challenge to manage family/ business relationships on a large ranch. Would like to see you tackle this issue more.

  • Dialog lost

    Great podcast, seems social media and modern culture has lost the skill of dialog. I’m loving these industry specific conversations. The beef industry faces some challenges and it’s refreshing to hear Matt and his guests talk thru these complex issues.
