In this episode of the Trent Klarenbach Podcast, Ryan Denis of the 'What The Futures' podcast joins Trent to discuss his remarkable journey in crop marketing and his rooted background in Saskatchewan agriculture.
Denis shares personal highs and lows, including the impact of his daughter's passing on his life and career decisions, his ventures with reputable firms like Cargill and Farmer's Business Network, and his eventual leap to create his own consultancy.
Sprinkled throughout are insightful anecdotes about agriculture-based family dynamics, the challenges of transitioning from corporate life to entrepreneurial ventures, and the importance of work-life balance.
This candid talk provides an in-depth look at the realities of the agricultural consulting world and the personal growth that can stem from significant life changes.
