    91. Making Every Trip Count with Jessie Jarvis
    Feb 18 2025
    In this episode, I share my strategy for making the most of trips when I am traveling. I first learned this from my mother when we went on ski trips when I was young. She made sure we used every minute of our time doing something we couldn’t do at home. I use that strategy as an adult. When I go on a trip, whether it’s for work or fun, I go all in. I want to encourage you to make the most of the opportunity that you have before you. I share tips like how I always stay in a hotel that has a restaurant so I can meet people there, how to be approachable, and how I go to as many events as I can during my time away from home. If you only get to go to a few events a year, you need to make the most of it!

  • 89. Ralph Lauren, Ranching & Regeneration: The Jeanne Carver Story, Part 2

    89. Ralph Lauren, Ranching & Regeneration: The Jeanne Carver Story, Part 2
    Feb 4 2025
    We’re back this week with part two of our discussion with Jeanne Carver! If you didn’t have a chance to listen to last week’s episode, take a pause and definitely go listen to that. In today’s episode, Jeanne dives deeper into the regenerative practices her ranch uses. Jeanne was able to create the first farm group in America to reach the global standards of the Responsible Wool Standard. She shares the processes entailed in becoming part of her farm group and meeting those standards. Jeanne also shares the auditing process for the health of her ranch. Different measurements and metrics are derived from testing and analysis of their equipment and fossil fuel use, methane emissions from livestock, soil, and biomass. These metrics help to inform and guide her to make future business decisions and practices. The information gathered in this testing is huge for the industry as it shows the net positive impact her ranch has in nature with their carbon footprint. This episode helps change the narrative of negative assumptions in animal agriculture, and can help show what the future of agriculture can look like.

    88. Ralph Lauren, Ranching & Regeneration: The Jeanne Carver Story, Part 1
    Jan 28 2025
    Welcome to this week's episode of Leaders of the West. Let me tell you guys, you are in for a treat today! We’re sitting down with Jeanne Carver. She and her late husband, Dan, started Imperial Stock Ranch. And they also are the brains behind Shaniko Wool Company. When I first sat down with Jeanne in October, we talked all about Imperial Stock Ranch and the history of their operation and regenerative practices. She shares the difficult decision they were faced with which then led them to create Shaniko Wool Company and the massive success it has seen including having their wool chosen by Ralph Lauren to be used in the Olympics. I asked if we could record a second episode because there’s so much more she’s doing for the agriculture industry and we just didn’t get to cover it all in this first conversation. So today you guys are hearing part one of a two-part episode. The next part will air next week. Jeanne is an inspiration and her passion is contagious. This episode will make you get outside and look at the horizon!
