04/22/25 • 40 min
I'm excited to have Elizabeth Thomas on the 100th episode today!
Elizabeth shares her journey of transitioning from a corporate career to running Thomas Cattle Company's meat business.
Initially working as VP of Marketing at a credit union for 15 years, Elizabeth started the beef business in 2019 while maintaining her corporate job. She managed both roles before leaving her position to focus full-time on growing the family's beef business. The company operates both direct-to-consumer and wholesale channels, serving restaurants and grocery stores.
Elizabeth also shares the importance of team building, the challenges of managing high market prices and processing logistics, as well as prioritizing tasks.

99. Lessons I've Learned from my Parents
I'm excited for the 99th episode today! Thank you to all the listeners for making this possible.
Today I reflect on many different lessons I've learned from my parents. I'll share how they've built a successful cattle operation, the history behind the ranch, and their reputation for consistently raising high-quality cattle.
Some of the lessons I share include:
- Taking pride in possessions
- Living within means
- Showing courage
- Doing whatever it takes to complete tasks
- Prioritizing work before play
- Maintaining financial responsibility
- Avoiding trend-chasing
- Practicing humility
I'm so grateful to be my parents' child. Their teachings have influenced and impacted my success in various ventures beyond ranching.
Stay tuned for the 100th episode next week!
