The two Emily’s are together in Madison, Wisconsin, and what better location to record our first episode than at World Dairy Expo! Hailey may be missing out on the famous Wisconsin grilled cheeses, but joins us virtually for the first recorded episode of Cow Girl Talk!  Get to know your three new *cow* girl besties in this episode! We talk about how a Pennsylvania dairy girl turned into a tequila drinking personal trainer in Florida, why Hailey is referred to as our dairy version of Martha Stewart, and how Emily Matzke (AKA Schmem) created the best ruralish life for herself. Along with getting to know your hosts, we talk about WHY we started this podcast - to connect the “girlies” to agriculture, and diving into how we’re navigating life in our 20’s and beyond. When you listen to this podcast, we want you to feel confident about where your food is coming from, know that you’re not alone in the messiness of “figuring it out”, and how to live a life that feels authentic and fulfilling. You’ll get an idea of what topics we will discuss moving forward, basically, a fun and educational mix of girl talk and more in depth agricultural topics. BUT NO MATTER THE TOPIC, it will have the feeling of catching up with your besties over brunch.  And lastly, we debate our weekly hot take… if you could keep only ONE dairy product, what would it be?
