So when did that start? I think it really kind of took off in late 2023. I had a loved one who was very ill and she was hospitalized for extended period of time. So it's like a sad, you know, sad chapter of life. And I'd always posted on my close friend's story on Instagram, just silly nonsense, just crazy, crazy girl things. And I had a friend, Kaylee, said, Lauren, you got to get on TikTok. You got to TikTok. I'm not getting on TikTok. I'm not doing that. I did. And it was a fun, creative and just something for me to create and get my mind off what was going on in the real world.
So it took off. People like it for whatever reason. It's crazy to me. It's nearly 300,000 people. Yeah, it's it's it's it's we've we've seen some growth in the past year and Yeah, it's a lot to navigate. It's a unique industry. It's a unique world. Are you focused on anything specifically or just kind of anything goes? I think my main focus on it is just that my real life comes first. Like I try really hard not to put too much pressure on it. Like it's supposed to be fun. There's times, you know, I get stressed out about it and, you know, worried about X, Y, and Z. And I have to, at the end of the day, remember like I can delete this and be gone and go live a perfectly fulfilling life without social media.
There is a podcast in Iowa, funk for profit was named by they. They stirred up a banker near, then quick came an auctioneer. Making profit was their first goal, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. Soon may the farmers come to bring us guests and beer and fun. One day when the recording's done, we'll take our money.
Well, hey, ladies and gentlemen, if you can hear our voice near the right, implement John Deere booth. We are going to do another interview with the Farm for Profit podcast. If you can hear our voice, come over, take a seat, take a listen. Front row's still open. That's because everyone's over getting hats signed by Tractor Guy. Actually, he ran out of hats. We love doing these shows live at trade shows, but we also curate them to go out on our podcast platform for those that don't have the pleasure of being here. So we get to address our podcast listeners. We appreciate them. We love that they tune in and share ideas for topics and guests, just like the two that we have today. So excited to jump into that.
If you want to follow us or send us an email, you can do that. Go to connect at farmforprofit.com. But let's jump in and get the guests introduced for today. Also, Tanner didn't tell you, we have a text line, so you might want to get this out. If you have any questions for these guys, you can actually text us, 515-207-9640, if we can get service. It's kind of hard to get service right here. But, yeah, those go right to Tanner.
How did Lauryn's background in horses influence their cattle operation?
And actually, you can call it, too, in the voicemails. So those are fun to listen to. Yeah, I'll go ahead and get them introduced. Today on the Farm for Fun show from the 2024 National Farm Machinery Show, sitting here at the John Deere booth, we meet up with a power couple that has a rich history in ag, from horses to tobacco to hay and now cattle.
