    3. There's No One Way to Ranch: Toby Holsted's Story of Leaving the Family Farm and His Path to Profitability

    In this episode, Derek sits down with Toby Holsted to share a story that challenges one of agriculture's biggest assumptions: that there's only one path to building a successful ranching business. Toby reflects on growing up on his family's Oklahoma farm, helping build a large stocker cattle operation, and eventually reaching a point where drought, changing markets, and family dynamics forced him to rethink everything. Rather than walking away from ranching, he found a new way forward by questioning long-held paradigms, embracing Ranching for Profit principles, and building a business centered on solving problems for others. The conversation explores the difficult reality of leaving a family operation, the role Toby's wife played in helping him challenge old assumptions, and how Executive Link and Ranching for Profit reshaped both his business and his relationships. Toby also shares how he transitioned from farming and owning equipment to managing custom cattle operations, why proposals and clear communication have become essential to his business, and how finding purpose beyond land ownership has given him the freedom to build a profitable ranching career on his own terms.

    In this episode, Derek, Zach, and Daniel sit down with Dallas Mount, owner of Ranching for Profit, to explore how one business management school fundamentally changed the way each of them approaches ranching.

The discussion goes well beyond spreadsheets and profitability. Dallas and the hosts talk about the importance of accountability, mentorship, healthy relationships, mental health, and surrounding yourself with people who challenge you to grow. They also address common misconceptions about Ranching for Profit, explain why the program isn't just for large or established operations, and introduce the Ranch Rolodex scholarship initiative designed to help more producers invest in continuing education and professional development.
