| 5/26/26 | 157. Legacy, Land, and Letting Go with Brent Turner | In this week’s episode, I’m sitting down with Brent Turner, founder of Agri-Generational and author of Piece of Land, for a conversation that I honestly think every farm and ranch family needs to hear. We dive into the realities of succession planning, why so many families avoid these conversations, and what’s actually at stake when there’s no clear plan in place. Brent shares how his background in financial planning and decades of working alongside agricultural families led him to focus exclusively on helping farms and ranches navigate transition, continuity, and legacy. We also talk about the emotional side of succession, the different “hats” operators wear inside a business, and why the role of “chief wisdom officer” may be one of the most important positions in a family operation. More than anything, this episode is about building something that lasts, empowering the next generation, and making sure the future of your operation is determined by design instead of default. Whether you’re actively involved in succession conversations or hoping to create something different for your own family one day, this episode is packed with perspective and practical takeaways.Be sure to subscribe/follow the show so you never miss an episode!Connect with BrentVisit the Agri-Generational websiteConnect with Jessie:Follow on Instagram @ofthewest.co and @mrsjjarvFollow on Facebook @jobsofthewestCheck out the Of The West websiteResources & Links:Agri-Generational QuizPeace of Land by Brent TurnerLonesome Dove by Larry McMurtryJoin The Directory Of The WestGet our FREE resource for Writing a Strong Job DescriptionGet our FREE resource for Making the Most of Your InternshipGet our FREE resource: 10 Resume Mistakes (and how to fix them)Get our FREE resource: How to Avoid the 7 Biggest Hiring Mistakes Employers MakeEmail us at hello@ofthewest.coSubscribe to Of The West's NewslettersList your jobs on Of The WestMentioned in this episode:Click below to see Open Jobs on Of The West Open Jobs on Of The West | — | ||||||
| 5/19/26 | 156. Girl Talk: Life, Kids, and Fashion with Rachel Joi McGinn | I’m so excited for this week’s episode! I’m sitting down with my friend Rachel McGinn, who many of you probably know online as Rachel Joi. Rachel was truly one of the original creators sharing Western fashion online in the early days of Instagram, and in this conversation, we talk about how much life has changed since then.From fashion and content creation to motherhood, ranch life, music, and silversmithing, Rachel shares what it has looked like to evolve through completely different seasons of life while still staying true to herself. We also talk about confidence, identity, creativity, and the reality that sometimes growth means letting go of old versions of yourself in order to step fully into the life you’ve prayed for.Rachel also shares how she taught herself silversmithing through YouTube and online maker communities after becoming a mom of four, and why continuing to chase your own passions alongside parenthood matters. This episode is an honest conversation about reinvention, perspective, and learning to embrace the season of life you’re in rather than constantly looking backward.Be sure to subscribe/follow the show so you never miss an episode!Connect with Rachel:Visit her websiteFollow on Instagram @racheljoiConnect with Jessie:Follow on Instagram @ofthewest.co and @mrsjjarvFollow on Facebook @jobsofthewestCheck out the Of The West websiteResources & Links:Episode 21.

What It Takes to Be a Superior Rep with Sidney Schmidt | In this week’s episode, I’m sitting down with Sidney Schmidt, a Superior Livestock Auction representative, to talk about what it really looks like to build a career in cattle marketing from the ground up. Sidney shares his journey from growing up around cattle to working in feedyards and eventually stepping into a role with Superior, where he built his book of business through relationships, trust, and years of industry experience. Superior is one of our Unlimited Hiring partners here at Of The West, and this is exactly the kind of partnership I love because it connects the right people with the right opportunities in our industry.We also dive into the realities of earning trust in the cattle industry, balancing the needs of both buyers and sellers, and why humility and consistency matter more than any sales pitch. From lessons learned the hard way to the importance of long-term relationships and reputation, this conversation is a powerful reminder that in agriculture, people do business with people, and how you show up every day matters.

How Ranchbot Is Transforming Livestock Water Monitoring with Andrew Coppin | This week I’m sitting down with Andrew Coppin, co-founder and CEO of Ranchbot, to talk about how technology is transforming one of the most fundamental challenges in ranching: water management. Andrew grew up in remote Australia and spent years checking wells, pumps, and pipelines, only to later build a company that eliminates that exact inefficiency. We dive into how Ranchbot is helping producers monitor water systems in real time, reduce unnecessary labor, and make better decisions without constantly driving across their operations.Andrew shares his perspective on the differences between Australian and American ranching, what it takes to build technology producers actually trust, and how simple, reliable tools can completely change the day-to-day reality of running an operation.Be sure to subscribe/follow the show so you never miss an episode!Connect with Andrew:Visit RanchbotFollow Ranchbot on Facebook @ranchbottechFollow Ranchbot on Instagram @ranchbotConnect with Jessie:Follow on Instagram @ofthewest.co and @mrsjjarvFollow on Facebook @jobsofthewestCheck out the Of The West websiteResources & Links:RanchbotCattleConJoin The Directory Of The WestGet our FREE resource for Writing a Strong Job DescriptionGet our FREE resource for Making the Most of Your InternshipGet our FREE resource: 10 Resume Mistakes (and how to fix them)Get our FREE resource: How to Avoid the 7 Biggest Hiring Mistakes Employers MakeEmail us at hello@ofthewest.coSubscribe to Of The West's NewslettersList your jobs on Of The WestMentioned in this episode:Click below to see Open Jobs on Of The West Open Jobs on Of The West | — | ||||||
| 3/31/26 | 149. How to Find a Mentor! | In this final episode of Mentor March, I’m doing something a little different.

So today, I’m breaking down how to actually build your own “board of directors” and why mentorship doesn’t have to look formal to be impactful. From people already in your life to those you follow online, I share real, practical ways to start building those relationships.I cover everything from getting in the right rooms and learning through proximity to engaging with people you admire online and investing in mentorship when it makes sense. I also share why peer mentorship is often overlooked but incredibly powerful.

| 2/24/26 | 144. Paving the Way and Choosing Joy with Pam Minick | This week, I had the absolute honor of sitting down with Pam Minick, cowgirl, competitor, broadcaster, history-maker, and one of the most respected women in the Western industry. But more than any title she has held, this conversation is about something deeper. It’s about joy. Pam shares her journey from growing up riding horses in Las Vegas to becoming Miss Rodeo America and breaking barrier after barrier as one of the first women to hold major broadcasting roles in rodeo. What stood out most to me was not the accolades, but her mindset. After a recent leukemia diagnosis and months of treatment, Pam made a daily decision to choose joy. That phrase became more than words. It became her anchor, her perspective, and even the name of a racehorse inspired by her resilience. We talk about finding work you love, saying yes before you know how you will figure it out, cheering for the next generation, and why joy is not accidental. It is intentional. This episode is a reminder that no matter what season you are in, you still get to choose how you show up, and the word “can’t” shouldn’t be used.

| 2/10/26 | 142. Holding On, Too Tightly | In this powerful solo episode, I’m sharing a message that’s been sitting on my heart: how our tightest grips on people, businesses, and outcomes can unintentionally suffocate the very things we’re trying to grow. Inspired by Of Mice and Men, I talk through how love can morph into control, and how that shift can affect family farms, careers, marriages, and leadership dynamics. This isn’t a “fix it all” episode, but it is a vulnerable look at how letting go just enough might actually allow things to breathe, progress, and flourish. If you’ve ever felt like the life is being squeezed out of you, or if you’re wondering whether you might be squeezing too hard, this episode is for you.

Girl Talk: My Decision to Get a Blepharoplasty | In this honest solo episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on a personal decision I wrestled with for months: getting an upper blepharoplasty.

| 12/9/25 | 133. Keeping Rodeo Relevant with Tiah DeGrofft | This week, I’m joined by Tiah DeGrofft, the first-ever female president of the iconic Pendleton Round-Up. Tiah has lived nearly every chapter of Round-Up tradition: from growing up in the grandstands to serving as a princess, queen, board member, and eventually president of one of the most historic rodeos in the world. In this episode, we talk about the depth of community behind the Pendleton Round-Up, what it really takes to run a legacy event, and the leadership lessons Tiah has learned along the way. She shares what her background in sports marketing and the PGA Tour taught her about rodeo as a business, why hospitality is the best ROI, and how Round-Up’s 1,200+ volunteers make it all possible. We also dive into her favorite rodeos, what every event can do to create a memorable experience, and how women can relentlessly pursue big dreams without giving up their seat at the table.
