Grant GardnerGUEST
So at the time that you guys would have had the first road show, I would have been living in Dallas, Texas at that particular time.

Grant GardnerGUEST
Now, with that being said, I started working at Ali's as a 14-year-old kid in 2020, excuse me, in 2002.

Grant GardnerGUEST
And long story short, that family that runs that business became my family over the years through college, through, uh, through all the things that, you know, I've been able to accomplish in my life.

Grant GardnerGUEST
They've been people who have supported me and, uh, really made sure that I was okay.

Grant GardnerGUEST
Um, so when they approached me back in 2024 to help run the donut shop so that the owners who are now in their seventies could retire, I, uh, I stepped up and absolutely took over to make sure that they could have a retirement that they deserve because nobody's a harder worker than Ann and Bud Drescher at Ellie's Donuts.

Greg HillHOST
Now, listen, over the last three months, your staff and your crew over there did something really, really cool when it comes to tips for the Jimmy Fond and for Dana Farber.

Tad NicholsonHOST
First of all, what's your thoughts about the demand situation of wheat in the United States? What opportunities are there for Ohio farmers?

Grant GardnerGUEST
And so in general, if we look at that part of the demand, we don't see tons of population growth within the United States.

Hunter BiramHOST
Uh, Grant, can you just tell us what demand there is for this tool in Kentucky and in the upper, you know, South and the Midwest?

Grant GardnerGUEST
I think the biggest use that I've found for it so far, and I think, you know, we're gonna have more iterations of this and see what we can do to make it better, but a lot of it's just using that tool for crop insurance education.

Grant GardnerGUEST
And so sitting down and showing how crop insurance works, which I think is one of the main points of this article that we're discussing today, is how does this shift the net income distributions, and how does it really protect you? And it's been a great tool for that.

Grant GardnerGUEST
I think it does help additionally to if you're gonna make a decision on, you know, crop insurance is complicated, what kind of unit structure am I gonna use? What kind of coverage do I want, et cetera.

Grant GardnerGUEST
It's easy after having some education to go back to this tool and think about, okay, what is the best options for crop insurance for the farmer's operation or anybody's operation?
