Herding Her Story Podcast Gina Tran & Mary-Margaret Hardee Welcome to our podcast, Herding Her Story. We created this podcast to connect with women from all over the agricultural industry to highlight their accomplishments and success stories. We also wanted to feature the men who have supported ambitious and hard-working females who are making headway in the industry. It’s no secret that success comes with challenges along the way for everyone. However, we hope to shed some light on the trials and tribulations women face in this male-dominated industry, but also show that it is possible to find happiness and success with patience, grit, determination, resiliency, and an open mind. It’s time we share our stories and our perspectives.
