In this lively and unscripted episode of Coffee in the Barn, Dr. Casey Bradley and Morgan Hart take you behind the scenes of the Midwest Swine Nutritionists’ family reunion in Omaha, Nebraska—recorded straight from their Hilton hotel room.
From Hilton skywalk networking to sneezing on sun-soaked skybridges, this episode captures the unfiltered reality of industry events: the good, the exhausting, and the energizing. Casey and Morgan share personal reflections on professional growth, confidence in public speaking, and why choosing the right outfit can change your whole presentation game.
You’ll also hear about travel with toddlers, on-the-road pumping logistics, award ceremonies that honor family support, and—of course—the vital importance of passionate people in ag science.
Whether you're an academic, an ag industry pro, or just here for the real talk, this episode reminds us that community matters more than venue—and that authenticity (and colorful jackets) can go a long way.

✔️ What makes Midwest Animal Science meetings feel like a reunion

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
