Six Small Fixes That Make a Big Business Impact (Yes, Right Now)In today’s episode, we’re hitting pause on the big ideas and zooming in on six very doable things you can take action on this week to clean up your business presence and boost your customer experience—especially if you’re selling through social media. Jessica and Kendall are in full-on checklist mode (don’t worry, it’s in the show notes) and delivering that honest, slightly salty, always encouraging energy we all need mid-year.What we dive into:The power of being findable: Jessica shares her late-night rage-clicking rabbit hole trying to locate a dreamy-sounding flower farm (spoiler: it was in the wrong state). We talk about how missing location info in your bio could be costing you sales—and how to fix it in five minutes.Simplify the buying process: If your followers can’t figure out how or where to buy from you in under three clicks, they’re out. We talk direct links, pinned posts, smart homepage design, and real talk about reading comprehension and attention spans in 2025.Do a content cleanup: Outdated dates, dead links, last year’s info—oh my. We’ve all been there. We walk through how to quickly audit your website and socials so you’re not accidentally sending customers to 2023.Face your numbers: Kendall gets real about what it took to stop avoiding her financial data—and how understanding her metrics saved her business. If you’ve been dodging spreadsheets or feeling embarrassed about not “getting” your numbers, this one’s for you.Audit your time: Whether you’re a Kendall-style calendar spreadsheet-er or more of a “that event was a waste” gut-checker like Jessica, we talk about how to find what’s draining your time without delivering results.Promote. Your. Stuff.: When’s the last time you talked about your actual product on social media? If your feed is all cute kids and summer fun, it might be time to bring your business front and center again—especially before those fall markets roll around.We hope you take this list, carve out an hour, and knock out these six mini audits in your business. You’ll be amazed what a difference these small fixes can make—especially when they’re done before the holiday hustle kicks in.Connect with Kendall:Follow on Instagram @marketingforfarmers and @centralparkfarmsCheck out her websiteConnect with Jessica:Follow on Instagram @moosevalleyranch Check out her websiteEpisode Links:Owning Your Online PresenceJoin the Workshop Waitlist
From a 4-Hour Field Pop-Up to a $2M Economic Powerhouse: Jess’s Business JourneyEver wonder how a failed pumpkin patch and some wedding gigs turned into one of the most impactful rural events in the region? In today’s episode, we (finally!) stick to the script and dive into Jess’s business story—how Gather was born, how Market in the Mountains exploded, and how this whole thing somehow started with a cold chicken lunch and a DM.We talk about what it really means to build community from scratch when you live way out of town. Jess shares the “aha moment” that made her realize rural women needed more than a Facebook group, they needed a room, a seat, and a steak knife that didn’t snap. And you’ll hear the backstory on how a few flower centerpieces, a busted name tag system, and a spark of rebellion against crappy hotel banquet rooms led to a full-blown rural movement.You’ll hear us unpack:The not-so-glamorous start of Gather and the surprising inspiration behind itHow dressing up to connect turned into a six-figure market with over 3,500 attendeesWhy listening to your community beats any fancy business planThe real economic impact of Market in the Mountains (spoiler: $2 million!)What it means to be seen—by your dad, your neighbors, and your local FFA teensWe hope this episode inspires you to trust your gut, even if it starts with a four-hour field idea that nobody thinks will work. Because you might just be the one to put your small town on the map.👉 Make sure to follow the podcast so you never miss an episode!

In today’s episode, Kendall and Jessica are peeling back the layers on a trend we’re seeing everywhere—and feeling in our own businesses too: local is back, baby. From conversations in the DMs to storefronts popping up in tiny towns, it seems like more and more rural women are asking the same thing: do I even want to ship anymore?We dive deep into the nitty-gritty of what it actually costs to run a delivery model—from shipping meat across provinces to packing gelato for cross-country trips. Kendall shares the real math behind their farm’s margins (spoiler: growth doesn’t always mean profit), and Jessica reflects on the emotional weight of pivoting when things just don’t align anymore. Whether you’re wondering if it’s time to raise your prices, shut down shipping, or open a farm store, this one’s for you.You’ll hear us unpack:Why convenience doesn’t always pay off (for the business owner)The emotional and financial weight of changing business modelsHow pricing creep and unexamined expenses can slowly drain profitThe myth of “just open an Instagram and sell meat boxes”And why there’s no shame in going hyper localWe hope you take this conversation as permission to rethink what success looks like—for your business, your family, and your actual life. If it doesn’t feel good anymore, maybe it’s time to shift. That’s not failure.

In today's episode, Jessica and Kendall share the big news about major changes coming to their business partnership and coaching model. What started as a four-hour financial meeting for Kendall turned into a complete pivot away from their monthly group coaching membership to an entirely new approach focused on implementation and results.The hosts get candid about recognizing when something isn't serving your business anymore - even when it's profitable and successful. They discuss the guilt of seeing members pay monthly without logging in, the challenge of serving women at vastly different business stages, and the realization that constant education without implementation creates a hamster wheel of learning without progress.Drawing from Kendall's personal experience taking two different types of courses in 2024 - one monthly subscription style and one intensive container - they discovered the power of structured, time-bound programs with built-in accountability. The new model will focus on helping women execute specific goals within their businesses rather than consuming endless content.They reveal their first two program topics: AI for rural businesses (which has fundamentally changed how Kendall operates and recently helped Jessica secure $17,000 in grant funding) and starting a rural business from idea to implementation. Both programs are designed to move women from learning to doing, with homework, accountability, and real business outcomes.The episode offers valuable insights for anyone questioning whether their current business model still serves their goals and community, showing that sometimes the boldest move is burning it all down to build something better.Make sure to hit follow/subscribe so you never miss an episode!Join the Workshop!Make AI Your New Business WorkhorseConnect with Kendall:Follow on Instagram @marketingforfarmers and @centralparkfarmsCheck out her websiteConnect with Jessica:Follow on Instagram @moosevalleyranch Check out her website

In today's episode, we dive deep with Kendall as she shares the evolution of Central Park Farms from humble beginnings to the thriving diversified business it is today. Starting with "slinging chickens out of the driveway" before expanding to pork, beef, farmer's markets, and eventually bringing on her mom as the first employee, Kendall reveals how each strategic pivot was driven by necessity and opportunity.The conversation highlights one of the farm's most successful diversification strategies - their prepared foods line created in partnership with chef Adrian. Kendall breaks down the impressive numbers behind transforming unsellable chicken backs worth $2 into $14.95 containers of bone broth, capturing an 89% increase in revenue with minimal additional work. This partnership has grown from just a few initial products to a comprehensive line that now includes items that don't even contain their farm products.Looking toward the future, Kendall shares exciting plans for their farm store renovation, which will include building a commercial kitchen on-site that will bring their prepared foods production in-house. The episode offers practical insights for farmers seeking to increase revenue without increasing workload, with Kendall emphasizing how value-added products can dramatically improve margins while reducing waste.Make sure to hit follow/subscribe so you never miss an episode!

In today’s episode, Jessica and Kendall peel back the curtain on the raw, emotional side of entrepreneurship—what it really looks like when you’re launching something big. Jessica shares her journey behind the much-anticipated launch of her Geodome rental project and opens up about the paralyzing fear that’s crept in as the finish line approaches.From the realities of sending that one email that changes everything to the emotional weight of being publicly visible, this conversation is a must-listen for any woman balancing big dreams, business pressure, and a small-town audience that might not always understand.We talk about:• The fear that hits right before a big launch• Why it’s hard to “just hit send” on that email—even when everything’s ready• The unseen work behind making a project live• Community dynamics, local judgment, and pricing guilt• How we both use public accountability as a tool for action• The myth that confidence comes before action (hint: it doesn’t)Whether you’re launching a glamping retreat, building a new farm store, or putting your first offer out into the world, this episode is a permission slip to do it scared.
