Notes from this episode are below.

  At TEDx Fargo, I was inspired to think outside the fence by Jay Doan from Black Leg Ranch.
#TEDxFargo

 
 

In his TEDx Fargo talk, Jay Doan discussed how his family’s business continues to evolve.

They introduced new business ventures withing the ranch including:

  • A microbrewery

  • Selling and shipping grass-fed beef and bison

  • Hunting trips

  • Events like weddings and retreats

Jay discussed keeping the next generation engaged by thinking differently.

  • Recognize that evolving is important for any business and beneficial to employees and owners.

  • Acknowledge that you are ready to evolve the business by discussing ideas and preparing for change to happen over time.

  • Research new ways of doing things. This may take you back to traditional ways!  

  • Get other people involved and excited about your ideas.

  • Hire new staff and interns to bring renewed energy to new ventures.

How can you think outside the fence?
