SHOW NOTES
KEY IDEAS:
On last Tuesday’s episode I was talking about how I needed to come up with a logo for my farm website. I had a listener, August Mizia, email me and let me know that he had just developed a logo for his farm. He offered to refer me to the individual who created his. This led to a discussion about his farm, his journey and I was inspired to have him on the show.
It was a thrill to speak with August because he is a listener to the show, and as we spoke he mentioned things that I talk about all the time. When you put out 650 episodes of a show hoping to help somebody, it is an unbelievable rush to hear somebody repeat your words back to you. To hear somebody who had an idea, but had no support from their peer group who found you as a mentor is awesome. This is the same way I did things when I was starting out, and now I get to be a mentor for somebody else!
With all of that said, August is moving way faster than I ever did. He is only 26, and he has already purchased 20 acres of land to develop his horse farm and business on. He and his wife, Allison, have a 10 month old son, Morgan, and another one on the way at Christmas.
August knows that he wants to be involved with horses. In my discussions with him it is apparent that training horses is where his heart seems to be. However, for the time being he has thought of several potential revenue streams from horses that he could use until his training business allows him to be self-sufficient. Among these are horse boarding and horse therapy.
It was my pleasure to be able to profile August and tell his story on the show.
