113. How Ambrook Is Modernizing Money Management in Agriculture

This week, I sit down with Mackenzie Burnett, co-founder and CEO of Ambrook, for a conversation that blends tech, ag, leadership, and the courage to jump into something new. Mackenzie shares her path from software and policy into agriculture, why building financial tools for farmers and ranchers became her passion, and how showing up with curiosity (and asking plenty of questions) has been key to Ambrook’s success. We also dig into what it takes to build trust in ag communities, why feedback is a gift, and how imposter syndrome shouldn’t keep you from solving problems you care about.We cover everything from the realities of startup life to what it’s like leading in a niche industry, plus Mackenzie’s surprising journey to becoming an amateur boxer. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, ag business owner, or just someone curious about blending industries, this episode is packed with insight and inspiration.Resources & Links:The Inner Ring by C.S.
