Strong ranch businesses are built on more than good markets and solid production. In this episode, John is joined by Joshua and Tara Dukart, two of the speakers at the upcoming Ranch Right Conference, to talk about why self-leadership, teamwork, and resilience matter more than ever in today’s ranching environment.

Joshua and Tara share insights from their own experience working with agricultural families and teams, focusing on how personal accountability shapes leadership, how communication affects culture, and why resilience is a learned skill rather than an innate trait. The conversation explores the human side of running a ranch, including navigating pressure, avoiding burnout, and building teams that perform well in both good times and hard seasons.
