82. It Takes a Village with Brooke Yates
12/17/24 • 37 min
I’m so excited to have Brooke Yates joining us today! She is one of the most wonderful human beings I have ever been lucky enough to know. Brooke has such a unique and inspirational story. She not only owns a brand called Ranch Raised, she’s also a doctor practicing in rural Montana.
Brooke shares a little about being a 5th generation Montanan and how she was practicing as a physician’s assistant for 20 years. You hear how she made the decision to go back to school to receive her Doctor in Medical Science degree while having three kids and still working full time.
She also talks about getting into the apparel business in 2018 and opening a retail store. Today she focuses on her wholesale business for Ranch Raised. She shares her wisdom on how she keeps her expectations steady of what load she can carry as well as the challenges in designing and creating an apparel line. We cover where she gets her drive, determination and ability to not know a stranger.

81. The Final Holiday Push with Jessie Jarvis
We’re in that final push before Christmas and the new year! In today’s episode, I share a few holiday tips. I talk about how Christmas is not about gifts or material things, but more about experiences, making memories and doing acts of kindness. With that being said, I know some gifts are a must, so I share examples of more unique, sentimental gifts I like to give.
I also talk about how important it is to spend your money at a small business or a local business in your community first.
To finish up the episode, I want you to know it’s okay to not be okay during the holidays.
