Natalina Sents; Digital Content Manager, Successful Farming MagazineNatalina Sents is the kind of intrepid young reporter written about in comic books. She is brave, empathetic and acutely aware of what is going on around her.  She is one of the most respected storytellers of agrarian life in our modern era. We discussed working multiple jobs, virtual reality, how to listen in a conversation. I reached out to Natalina after having read her work, and spoken with her at conferences but I never realized how deeply insightful and connected she was with the views of others.  As I re-listen to this episode, I hear so much more in her answers than I heard at the time.  Sign up to be in the Articulate Ventures NetworkNatalina Sents on Twitter @Roots_Journey@VanceCrowe
