If there's one thing after my own heart, it's helping farmers. I grew up watching Mother Nature be the bearer of bad news time and time again, and seeing my dad learn how to navigate so many issues that were simply out of his control.

However, even with a career that has the odds greatly stacked against you, many persevere and succeed, and one of the reasons they succeed is because of the help of people like Michael Kilpatrick.

Michael is the host of the Thriving Farmer's podcast, and helps farmers marry the worlds of farming and business, so they can build a career and a life that they love through farming.

In this episode of Branding Podcast Secrets, Michael talks about his podcast, how he's grown such a large following, how he utilizes it to grow other parts of his business, and why taking a stand can help the growth of your podcast.
