“Hi! I just wanted to say thank you so much for putting these podcasts together. I’ve listened to so many… and they’ve helped me and my almost-husband navigate his family during the succession process, in trying to get the process started, and with the family dynamic in general.
We really appreciate the wisdom and believe the work you’re doing is helping family farms stick around. If we’re fortunate enough to continue farming, your podcast has already helped us think deeply about how we want to communicate with our future children about the farm.
Coming from a non-farming background, I can’t overstate how insightful your episodes have been.”
“I’ve worked with Elaine, on a couple of speaking engagements as well as from promotional side with different organizations that I’m involved in and she is always there to serve. That’ s what I love about Elaine, whether she’s a podcast guest or a speaker. Whether it’s an hour long key note or a whole day seminar, she is there to serve.”
“I love Elaine for the fact she is so calm, yet blunt, she’s so nurturing, and she is the epitome of a person that can help you understand exactly what the steps are to make the right directional move in family transitional planning.”
