Deep dives
Early Life and Career Shift
The speaker reflects on their childhood experiences of growing up on a dairy farm, which was not traditional for their family, as their father and grandfather pursued other professions. Initially, the speaker ventured into a mining career after high school, but a life-changing incident involving a paramedic call sparked their desire to enter the medical field. This led to a successful 17-year career as a certified paramedic and medical educator, during which they faced emotionally demanding situations. The loss of family members and the availability of inherited farmland prompted the speaker to leave the medical field to reconnect with agriculture.
