A Year in Review: Farming, Entrepreneurship, and Whiskey

from Barn Talk · host Tork and Sawyer Whisler

Welcome to Barn Talk! In today's episode we dive into a range of interesting topics. We kick things off by discussing political strategies aimed at stirring up chaos around elections and the surprising resilience of certain political figures. The conversation then shifts to President Biden’s controversial pardons. On a lighter note, Sawyer and Tork reflect on the successful year at their venture, Farmer Grade, and share personal stories about entrepreneurship, business challenges, and surprising victories. You'll also hear their candid thoughts on societal trends, like their humorous critique of people with blue hair, and a nostalgic trip down memory lane with a retro cereal gift and a playful gift exchange story. Our hosts also tackle more serious subjects like governmental transparency, media distrust, and the influential presence of figures like Elon Musk. They round out the episode with a "Whiskey Minute" segment, sampling Penelope bourbon, and share their impressions and ratings. Amidst all these discussions, Tork and Sawyer provide a market update, ponder future plans, and express gratitude towards their listeners. They close with heartfelt holiday greetings and a reminder to support their direct-to-consumer meat business, Farmer Grade, which underpins the podcast. So, grab your favorite beverage, sit back, and enjoy a mix of insightful analysis, personal anecdotes, and a sprinkle of humor on "Barn Talk!"

Humanizing Change Tremendousness Join us each episode as we talk with innovators in their respective fields about their unique journeys and how they humanize change in their own work, right here, on Humanizing Change. AI Erik's Podcast Audio Erik Conn The AI News Podcast where we talk AI. NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
