In the Hotseat: Tracy Brunet on Farm Succession, Business & Ag Challenges | The Wealthy Acre Podcast
I was interviewed on The Wealthy Acre, and this week on The Impact Farming Show, I’m stepping out of the interview seat and into the hotseat!
Diana invited me onto her show to talk about my business journey launching Farm Marketer and The Impact Farming Show, share more about our farm in Manitoba, Canada, dive into farm succession and transition planning, and discuss the challenges farmers face today. I wanted to share this conversation with our audience because I had a blast chatting with Diana about the things I love most: entrepreneurship, farming, and succession planning.
I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed being on the other side of the microphone!
