Episode 170 - A Grace Break and What the Olympics Can Teach Agriculture

This week is a shorter episode, with just the two of us sharing some thoughts. Unless you've been living under a rock on Pluto, chances are you've seen at least some of the Olympics these last couple weeks. We've been impressed by the athletic accomplishments of the women competitors, but more than that, we've been completely blown away by the trails they're blazing in mental health, competing as pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, ensuring spaces for privacy with their little ones, and most of all, supporting each other despite cultural differences and competition outcomes. What women are doing in Paris for and with other women is nothing short of astounding. Cultural, racial, competitive differences are shoved to the side, not to be considered, in favor of women cheering each other on, smiling, hugging, clapping each other on the back as each wins and loses with grace. We compare this revolution of support and boundless positivity to our day to day lives in the agriculture industry. We talk about what we hope agriculture will adopt in behavior and attitudes as the Olympic torch flickers out and we resume business as usual. Focusing on the good and forging new paths for women and humanity as a whole is our hope for ourselves, and this industry we love.    As always, like, subscribe, share and review! www.millennialag.com [email protected] Instagram: @millennialag Facebook: Millennial Ag Twitter: @millennialag Don't forget to review us!
