About this episode
In this episode, host John Haskell is joined by Mike Glover, a former Special Forces SGM and CIA contractor, for a conversation about preparedness, decision-making under pressure, and why resilience is a learned skill rather than a personality trait. Mike will be a featured speaker at the upcoming Ranch Right Conference, and this discussion offers a preview of the resilience framework he will be teaching there.Mike shares lessons from his military career, including how deliberate planning, contingencies, and team alignment reduce chaos when things go wrong. He and John connect those ideas directly to ranching and agricultural businesses, where volatility, market cycles, weather events, and personal emergencies are part of the job. The conversation challenges the idea of cowboy decision-making and replaces it with structured thinking, calm execution, and clear plans built before stress hits.This episode is a reminder that resilience is not about avoiding problems. It is about being prepared to move forward when plans break, markets shift, or circumstances change unexpectedly.Make sure to hit subscribe/follow so you never miss an episode!
