SUMMARY
In this episode, Jack and Jared dive into how emotions play a big part in the decisions we make on the farm—often more than we realise. They talk about the importance of giving yourself space to feel and process emotions, rather than just reacting in the moment. Jack shares a personal story about how things changed once he opened up and asked for help, and how that shifted everything for his business in just a few months. The conversation explores the “emotional bucket” — how holding emotions inside eventually spills over, affecting decisions, relationships, and overall mental load.
They stress the importance of giving yourself space to feel and process emotions, instead of reacting impulsively and stepping outside to reset. The episode also introduces Esther Hicks’ Emotional Scale, a simple tool for shifting your emotional state gradually, making change feel achievable. Finally, they discuss the power of vulnerability in rural life — reminding farmers that reaching out isn’t weakness, it’s a form of leadership that lightens the load and builds connection.
