#33: In today’s episode of Cow Girl Talk, we’re thrilled to welcome two incredible women in agriculture, Amanda Borkowski and Katelin Benkoski! As fellow women in the dairy industry, we’re diving into a topic that has shaped all of our careers—the power of networking and building meaningful relationships.
Agriculture, especially dairy, often places many of us in rural areas, making it easy to feel isolated. With a smaller number of women in the industry, finding a supportive community can make all the difference. Today, Amanda, Katelin, Emily and Becca will share personal stories, experiences, and insights on how we’ve navigated these challenges and built connections that have empowered them professionally and personally.
We’ll cover:
Our backgrounds and how we each got into agriculture.
Why networking is essential for all women, especially in male-dominated industries.
Key success stories and pivotal moments where connections changed the trajectory of our careers.
Strategies for building meaningful relationships, even when starting out.
Overcoming challenges women in agriculture face and how the right community can help.
Where to start if you're looking to get more involved (including an inside look at the Dairy Girl Network and their upcoming conference).
Plus, we’re wrapping up with our favorite travel hacks and products—perfect for those upcoming conferences or trips!
Tune in for an inspiring conversation full of actionable advice and heartfelt stories that’ll help you build your network and embrace the power of community!
