Why I Shut Down My Small Business

Welcome to Barn Talk! In this Hot Topics episode, Sawyer and Tork are back in the barn to tackle everything from the ups and downs of farm life to big-picture issues shaking the world right now. Sawyer opens up about the tough decision to close his direct-to-consumer meat business, Farmer Grade, sharing an inside look at the challenges of doing it all, why health comes first, and how focusing on less can lead to greater impact. The guys jump into headline-making topics like the latest bombshells from the Epstein files, debates around voter ID laws and the SAVE Act, global military strategy in Greenland, and the fast-moving world of AI—touching on both its business impacts and its wild new capabilities. They wrap with a fresh take on social media trends, entrepreneurship, and the importance of pruning your digital life for real value.
