One year. 46 episodes. Incredible guests that I am so grateful to have shared their stories on this podcast.
To celebrate, I wanted to do something a little different. Instead of interviewing a new guest, I’m turning the mic on myself. There’s a question that’s followed me through 30 years in farm education: how do you decide which good idea is actually worth building? Not which program or business idea sounds the most exciting in the moment, but which one you’d actually want to live, week after week, year after year.
Because here’s what I’ve come to believe: we’re not just building farm education businesses, we’re building our lives. And I think a lot of educators get stuck not because we don’t have enough ideas for programs, but because we haven’t stopped to ask what we actually want our business to look like. That’s exactly why I built my new “Discover Your Farm Education Path” quiz, and why I’m sharing it with you in today’s episode. It’s not about putting you in a box, it’s about giving you a clue. A place to start recognizing what fits you, so you can build the farm education business and life you want.
Tune in and you’ll hear:
🌱 How having too many good ideas for your farm education program might actually be the thing that’s keeping you stuck and how to move forward.
📅 The one question I ask myself about an “ordinary Tuesday” that’s guided almost every big decision in my farm education business.
🏡 The reason I built Bring the Farm to You the way I did, and what it taught me about knowing yourself before you build a farm education program.
🧭 Why “not yet” isn’t the same thing as “never,” and how that one shift changed the way I plan for the future of my farm education business.
🔍 The question I ask myself whenever another farm educator’s idea catches my attention, one that turns “Ooh, I want to do that” into an actual clue about what I really want for my own program.
🧩 Why I built a quiz to help farm educators find their own answer to all of this and what I hope you do with your results.
