DESCRIPTION:
Whitney sits down with Kara Dadson of Dadson Farms to talk about turning real barn life into impactful content. Kara shares how posting showmanship videos to sell pigs evolved into educating the public, helping new families level up, and building a fast-growing multi-platform presence. We dig into what to post, where to post, and how to keep it positive, useful, and consistent—without burning out.
