Finding Balance with a Big Vision: Faith, Family and Dairy Farming with Tommy Oesch

Tommy Oesch from Swiss Lane Farms in Michigan talked about the big vision he and his partners share for “7,000 Cows in 7 Years” on the #1 most downloaded episode of season 1 of the Uplevel Dairy Podcast. And Tommy jumped back on with for this very real conversation that goes deep into his 5 “buckets” of priorities behind that vision:

• Family
• Faith
• The dairy
• Health
• Friendships
  

If you’ve got big goals and a big vision for your dairy and your business, you know that it takes incredible focus and hard work, but what you may also know is that if you get too focused on one thing or “one bucket” – all of that success can come at a cost and the price you pay can be your family, your relationships … even your health. If finding a balance for your big goals and these “buckets” of family, faith, the farm, your health and your friendships, is something you want in your life, this podcast is for you. There will be a part 2!

On this episode, we are going to hear about 3 of his 5 buckets:

• Being a husband, a dad, a dairyman and a disciple.
• How his roles and priorities are different than his own Dad’s generation.
• And Tommy gets real about the insecurities that come with stepping up to be a leader.
