No longer content with farming until his last breath, Andy packed his bags and embarked on the journey of "Stubborn Farmer." Through this venture, he discovered that the root of all conflicts lies within oneself. Before investing in others, he believes in the importance of personal adaptation, growth, and learning. Andy's mission goes beyond the fields; he aims to rescue the essence of family Christmases by safeguarding the family farm and eliminating the need for mediators altogether.

On this episode of Growing the Future Podcast, we sit down with Wade Barnes, a farm kid from Birtle, Manitoba, who forged his own path in agriculture, much like a samurai without a master. From humble beginnings working the land to building Farmer’s Edge, one of the most influential AgTech companies in Canada, Wade’s journey is a testament to resilience, adaptability, and taking on the establishment. Wade didn’t follow a traditional roadmap—he challenged old ways of thinking, fought through skepticism, and built a business that changed how farmers manage their land. Without a blueprint, without guarantees, and without waiting for permission, he created something entirely new, proving that sometimes the best way forward is to carve your own path. In this episode, we explore: The roots of precision ag – How GPS, satellite imagery, and hard-nosed agronomy changed the game. Pushing against the establishment – Why traditional experts doubted his approach and how he proved them wrong. The power of relationships – How key connections with industry leaders like Cam Henry and Mark Keating helped launch Farmer’s Edge. Scaling the business – The challenges of rapid growth, securing investment, and consolidating his vision. A masterclass in deal-making – How a business coach from Winnipeg gave Wade the tools to negotiate high-stakes partnerships. This is Wade’s first-ever long-form podcast, offering a rare inside look at the lessons learned from building a company on the cutting edge of agriculture.

	25 Oct 2024	Prairie Pastures to High-Rise Boardrooms	01:16:35
Arthur’s story starts simple: a family farm, a small-town upbringing, and a job managing dealerships where loyalty wasn’t handed out, it was earned. As the dealerships grew, so did Arthur, taking on bigger roles until he eventually became President of Pattison Agriculture, responsible for 17 John Deere dealerships across Saskatchewan and Manitoba. It was more than just tractors—it was about building relationships, managing people, and proving you could hit your numbers no matter the season. Along the way, Arthur learned that customer satisfaction wasn’t just a strategy—it was survival. And survival’s a skill you don’t forget. But it didn’t stop there. The Jim Pattison Group, a corporate giant with over 48,000 employees across 25 industries, saw something in him. Arthur became one of Pattison’s Vice Presidents, sitting at the same table as one of Canada’s most iconic businessmen. Jim Pattison’s leadership was simple and sharp: “Spend money like it’s your own,” and “Don’t do anything you wouldn’t want on the front page of the newspaper.” It was the kind of no-frills wisdom that fit Arthur like a glove. In this episode, Arthur reflects on: The lessons learned from farming and how they carried over into running dealerships and corporate boardrooms. The challenges of balancing old-school agriculture with new business realities, including scaling operations while holding onto small-town values. What he took away from working with one of Canada’s sharpest business minds—and why the hardest part wasn’t making it to the top, but staying there. Now, Arthur’s back on prairie soil, working with Aberhart Group to build something real—businesses that serve their people, their customers, and the land. He’s traded in the skyscrapers for Saskatchewan sunsets, but the fight’s still the same: do right by people, take care of the customer, and build something that lasts. Tune in for a conversation that’s as much about grit as it is about growth. Arthur’s journey is proof that whether you’re on a tractor or in a boardroom, it all comes down to knowing the value of hard work and the power of doing things the right way. 0:00 Introduction and Core Values 00:33 Welcome to the Growing the Future Podcast 00:48 Introducing Today's Esteemed Guest 01:15 Family of Companies Overview 02:09 Arthur Ward's Early Life and Career Beginnings 04:48 Transition to Agricultural Sales 07:36 Challenges and Successes in the Ag Industry 11:14 Leadership and Coaching Philosophy 18:00 Joining the Jim Pattison Group 18:51 Innovations and Future Plans 41:52 Adapting to Market Changes 43:19 Lessons from Farming 45:25 Unexpected Life Changes 48:33 Joining the Aberhart Group 53:45 The Role of Chief Integration Officer 56:51 Future Goals and Reflections 57:36 Rapid Fire Business Insights 01:02:29 Building Sustainable Businesses 01:14:02 Personal Reflections and Future Plans Aberhart Family of Companies: https://aberhartgroup.com https://aberhartagsolutions.ca https://aberhartfarms.com https://www.convergencegrowth.com Connect with us on AGvisorPro: https://link-app.agvisorpro.com/aberhart-dan If you want to be part of the Growing the Future community, make sure to say hi on social at: https://linktr.ee/Growingthefuturepodcast

Show jumping can teach a person plenty about venture capital. In show jumping (VC Agtech), where horses (startups) are racing (solving farmers problems) against a clock where time (money) is running out to navigate many challenging obstacles (regulatory hurdles, finding customers, and developing a sustainable business model), the horse (founder) has a personality of their own; the team must get to the end without too many mistakes (penalties) against you or your ride = zero. There are some winners though, and big winners at that. For Wilson Acton, Managing Partner at Tall Grass Ventures, a unique venture capital fund out of Alberta focused on agricultural companies, so far they've sifted through 160 companies to find 6 that could be winners. Hear how Wilson applies the lessons learned as a 5th generation farmer, competing in show jumping, and a career as an M and A lawyer to helping agricultural startups in his stable on this episode.

	10 Jan 2025	S6E13 Benny Fisher Pain Into Presence	00:45:31
Benny shares a deeply personal and transformative story about losing his younger brother in 2021—a tragedy that profoundly shaped his life. His brother was murdered during a drug deal gone wrong, a moment that shook his family to the core. Benny reflected on how he hadn’t spoken openly about his own struggles and the lessons he’d learned in his younger years, and he wondered if being more vulnerable could have made a difference. This heartbreaking experience led Benny to two life-changing realizations: 1. His Business Didn’t Need Him Every Day: At the time of his brother’s death, Benny had implemented the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) in his company, which allowed it to function without his constant oversight. For the first time, he saw how freeing it was to detach his identity from his business. It gave him the space to step away and be present for his grieving family without the pressure of everything falling apart. 2. He Needed a Greater Purpose: The loss forced Benny to ask himself a tough question: Is running a roofing company all I’m meant to do? He realized his true calling was to share his story with others—stories of resilience, vulnerability, and finding purpose beyond work. This moment inspired him to launch a podcast, take the stage at speaking events, and help others navigate their own challenges. Benny’s journey is a powerful reminder of the importance of separating our identity from our work and creating space to live authentically and fully. He’ll be sharing this deeply personal story—and the lessons he’s learned—at the upcoming Convergence Conference 2025 in Regina, Saskatchewan. Benny’s keynote promises to inspire, challenge, and help attendees see the bigger picture in both their business and personal lives. If you’re ready to reflect, grow, and start 2025 with a fresh perspective, don’t miss Benny Fisher at Convergence Conference. It’s a message you need to hear.

	09 Dec 2022	Agronomy Meets Basketball	00:54:39
Agronomy and basketball coaches have more in common than you may think.... A coach is to help an individual or their team grow. It's not always encouragement..... Sometimes it's being kind of strict, pushing them, knowing what their boundaries are, what they can, what they can't do, and what they're not ready to do. The perfect example of that would be when you introduce producers into variable rates for their first time or try a new prescription. Just like the players on the court, a coach guides them into new realms and techniques. Lance Lindbloom does just that with 406 Agronomy! Tune in as Dan and Lance dive into how bringing together competition and producers in the same room, can bring home the trophy for the future of ag. Grab your clipboards and get ready to take notes on Lance's strategies and plays in agronomy. In this episode, you will learn: The journey of 406 Agronomy How Lance got into agronomy coaching The real competition between agronomists The difference between agronomists and agronomy coaches Lance’s farming background What is 406 agronomy? The biggest agronomy challenge in Montana How drought has affected Lances business Lance’s risk management in years with no rain How Lance balances fertility in drought What Lance thinks of variable rates Which methodology Lance uses for prescriptions The different management styles in agronomy Current technology Lance is using in his practices Lance’s experience with NutriScan Lance’s thoughts on technology coming to agronomy The 5th annual 406 Agronomy Summit The key technical takeaways of Summit Lance’s opinion on regenerative ag Lance’s personal health journey as a producer Connect with Lance: Website: https://406agronomy.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/406Agronomy Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/papabloom/?hl=en LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lance-lindbloom-83b64810/ Aberhart Family of Companies: https://aberhartagsolutions.ca https://aberhartfarms.com https://suregrowth.ca https://www.convergencegrowth.com Connect with us on AGvisorPro: https://link-app.agvisorpro.com/aberhart-dan If you want to be part of the Growing the Future community, make sure to say hi on social at: https://linktr.ee/Growingthefuturepodcast
