We dive deep into what it really means to lead with intention—not just in your professional life, but at home, too. Tracy shares her incredible journey through the ag value chain, from pulling weeds on a hobby farm in Minnesota to leading commercial strategy for one of agtech’s fastest-growing platforms.This is a must-listen for leaders navigating change, managing adoption of new tech, and looking to build stronger team cultures that actually stick.💡 Key Takeaways:Intentionality is More Than a BuzzwordTracy explains that being intentional means walking the talk—owning your actions and correcting course when needed. Whether you're leading a team or leading at home, intention requires follow-through.Block the Time, or Lose the TimeTracy and I both agree: if it's not on your calendar, it’s not real. She shares how simple blocks like “catch-up” or “lunch” help her show up with more focus and less burnout.Hope Is Not a StrategyWhether it's culture, performance, or tech adoption, Tracy reminds us that good outcomes come from clear expectations, follow-through, and accountability—not wishful thinking.Tech Doesn’t Replace TrustAgVend’s approach to change management? Help people win. Show them the value. Provide accountability. And never underestimate the power of one positive experience with a new tool.Mentorship Is the WinFor Tracy, it’s not the big product launches or career titles that stand out most—it’s when people reach out and say, “Will you mentor me?” That’s legacy work.🔊 Notable Quotes:“Intentionality isn’t just how you start—it’s how you follow through.” – Tracy Linbo“Show me your calendar, and I’ll show you your priorities.” – Mark Jewell“Hope is not a strategy. If you don’t design your culture, one will still form—it just won’t be the one you want.” – Tracy Linbo“If we put more value into the industry than we ask from it, we never go hungry.” – Mark Jewell“People don’t hate structure—they hate feeling stuck.
