Thank you so much to all of you for listening to the show and being part of this adventure. Please don't forget to like, comment, and share.
It truly does make the difference. There's so much more to come and I'm so glad you're here on this journey with me. Now back to my conversation. So let's let's get back to the regular scheduled food talk and agricultural talk of the show.
I want to I want to talk about how your journey with ICS and educational content and how you've been working through the various different sectors in terms of your knowledge set and obviously your your prowess on LinkedIn for sure. I mean, you are an influencer, Mike, whether we like that word or not, you know, I guess.
And I know that you've been learning a lot, because I definitely jump up and down and say, hey, Mike, what about food and ag? I'm like, what this past year specifically, I think you definitely learned a lot about food and agriculture from me. But I also noticed that you've been paying attention more in the media. You've been commenting differently. You've been posting differently about it.
What is it that you've really learned this last year about it, what your thoughts are around it?
Yes, I definitely hop up and down a lot. Right. Right. Not in a Tom Cruise way, but... No, not only... No, that's extreme. I'd probably throw my back out if I did that. No, I really appreciate you saying all that, Mike, because people are so far removed from their food. We don't think about it. We go to the store. We do our thing. It doesn't matter, right?
The people that produce our food are incredible human beings, right? whether it's a farm or a rancher or any of that, they are dedicated definitely to it. And I I feel in some ways really passionate about making sure people understand that there are human beings behind everything that's happening with our food and that they are there in it for it. You know, it's not about making money.
It's about the doing of it. You know, the generational farming is still there. Even though I know they're saying that all farmers will be retired by like 2035. We'll see. We'll see. The trucking is an interesting one because we actually move our food more than people think we do. It goes from the farm to facility it needs to go to to change it into whatever it's going to be.
And then it actually gets warehoused. cold storage or just storage. And then eventually it will get distributed. So it actually transfers quite a bit. So if we lost trucks, we're a real big trouble because we can't even move it away from the farm to get to where it needs to go to be what it needs to be to get to the spot that it stores and then waits for us to take it to the retailer.
It's incredible. And it's interesting because we were talking before we were just recording that there was the grocery store hack that just happened over in the East Coast. And it did affect the mid-Atlantic region as well. And they disclosed the attack or whatever happened, the cyber incident. Sorry, we should call it cyber incident because we don't know what it is.
The only reason they announced it is because they're a publicly traded company in S. SEC rules requires them to release it to their shareholders that they have been in a situation with cyber. It reads like ransomware, but we don't know what it is right now. But it's interesting because I was at the grocery store this weekend and I couldn't there wasn't any eggs on the shelf.
And I thought that was weird. And it turns out it was the cyber issue. And my sister's in-laws couldn't get chicken at their grocery store. There was no chicken. And I thought, see, these are the little things that the public is not going to start paying attention to a little bit more as it continues on.
There'll be a lot of public pressure that we're actually consumers are going to start caring about where they spend their money, because if a company can't keep their company safe from these type of attacks, You're going to take your money somewhere else. You're going to go to a different grocery store chain. You're going to, I don't know, have your own chickens so you can get your own eggs.
But I do think that the people that do all this work are really incredible people. And they actually are very active on LinkedIn. Ranchers specifically are very active on LinkedIn. And it's awesome. So if you get a chance, just... type in rancher into your LinkedIn search feed sometime and just watch what they're saying. It's super educational. Sometimes it's hilarious.
And most of the time they are just average people trying to do work and feed the world. And it's really beautiful to watch some of these people talk. Definitely. If you get a second, please do do that. Cause it's really amazing and give them a little bit of love because we all should be thanking a farmer every day for what we have.
Not that Yellowstone is, I haven't seen the new season, the new, the continuation of season five. I haven't seen that, but I have watched it all the way through. And that show is a whole lot of mafia murder and a whole lot of other things. So if you do watch it, people just understand that it's pretty violent at times, but it is an interesting show. it is interesting show.
I think, I don't think ranchers are totally appreciate the show because it's kind of very sensationalized and it's not totally accurate. They're not going around murdering everybody every day. You know, like I don't think that's a problem, but I do like that.
It has showcased that life, you know, like what it's like to, you know, live in places that have conflict with, you know, the environment and indigenous people and land and the government and other things. I do think it's very extreme, but I think it's,
It does make you appreciate, you know, well, first of all, it makes you appreciate the beauty of the country because that's gorgeous where it is and where it's supposed to be in Montana. But, you know, it also makes you appreciate horseback riding and the ability to do things while riding because that's most of us just hang on, right?
Yeah, not me. Yeah.
