Is it worth it? Now that you're here in 2026, what is the best part of having your own business?

I definitely believe it's worth it.

There are many things that have been very rewarding for me about having my own business.

Definitely creating jobs for people, creating opportunities where they're being paid more than they were being paid at other companies or other law firms, I think is super powerful to me, but gratifying.

We offer a lot of benefits to our employees, and I keep trying to add additional benefits to retain and acquire top talent.

So to me, I think investment in people is super important.

Being able to provide for my own future in terms of my own retirement is super rewarding.

You mentioned making this transition, right? If there's another person out there dealing with the same problems, What are one or two mindsets, meaning ways of thinking about the situation that you would recommend they start changing in order to have that particular breakthrough?

Emily?

Yeah.

So, um, I actually met Hannah Gee at the career fair in fall of '25, um, through Purdue.

And I didn't really know about the internship before that, but I talked to her there, and I was like, "Oh, this is something that I think I would really love." You know, I love sharing about agriculture and growing up around livestock, you know, taught me all about what it takes to raise livestock or cattle, and I wanna help others understand more about the beef industry.

So I just thought this was the perfect internship for me 'cause I could combine, you know, my passion for agriculture with my interest in communications and just social media, marketing, putting that out there, um, and just being able to represent this industry that's an important part of our lives.

Who wants to start?

Um, I just...

Yeah, the people I feel like in this industry are super nice and welcoming.
