    38. Mental Toughness Reset: 75 Hard

    38. Mental Toughness Reset: 75 Hard

    In this solo episode, I dive into a mental toughness challenge that I had done last year called, 75 Hard. 
    If you do not know what this is, I advise you to listen to Andy Frisella's "Real AF" podcast episode number 208. Andy is the creator of 75 Hard and a huge entrepreneur. His content may not be for everyone, (he throws around a lot of "colorful" words :)) but, I love his view on how to do business and how to be the best at whatever it is you do for a living.
    I created a guide for myself and for YOU to utilize if you decide to do the challenge yourself. 
    Get your FREE 75 Hard Guide HERE
    In this episode, I talk about the program and how it can relate to being successful in your business.

    35. The MEAT Up! Opening Your Own Butcher Shop With Cassi Maxey

    Cassi and her husband Steven, are the owners of a small retail butcher and sandwich shop in Fresno, California strategically called "The Meat Up." 
    Steven’s family has been in the meat slaughtering and meat processing business since 1954. 
    In the Winter of 2019 Cassi had the crazy idea to open a retail meat and butcher store near the neighborhood they live in. She and her husband wanted to provide our area of town with a high quality butcher shop. 
    In August of 2020 they opened our store. The Meat Up offers mostly USDA Choice and higher steaks, ground beef, marinated and deli items, all processed by Cassi and Steven in Fresno.

    33. Sharing Stories and Marketing for Ranchers with Celeste Settrini

    33. Sharing Stories and Marketing for Ranchers with Celeste Settrini

    Subscribe to the listener list HERE

    Celeste and I met at CCW's Spring Meeting back in March 2023. She was one of our speakers and I just loved her energy and her story.
    Celeste grew up on 108 year old ranch, The Settrini Ranch in Salinas Valley, CA. She graduated from Cal Poly SLO with a bachelors degree in Agribusiness Marketing. During college and after college, she was heavily involved in several organizations that promoted the agriculture industry, earning her many awards and leadership roles.
    In 2013, her father unexpectedly passed away in an accident on the ranch. This event lead her back to the family ranch to do what she truly loves alongside her mother and brother.
    She started her own marketing journey with "The Bullsale Bulletin" where she markets other rancher's cattle and shares their stories. Celeste also helps with an Auctioneer Workshop teaching individuals who are interested in learning this unique skill.
    Recently, a media team came to her ranch to hear her story and documents tasks that she and her family do on the ranch daily. These short clips shot out through Disney +!!
    Celeste is an incredible AGvocate for the beef industry and I really enjoyed my time spent with her!

Fabulous & Inspiring! ,

Top Favorite Podcast!

I loved being a guest on Allie’s podcast and felt compelled to reach out to her after listening to a few episodes - I was so drawn in to the content and her great personality and she was such an inspiration going from working full time to becoming a full time entrepreneur. I admire Allie in so many ways and was so glad to connect with such a fabulous gal in the cattle industry!

Teri Surratt ,

Stellar Content!

Alli,
Your podcast is fun and very informative!
I’ve really loved your selection of guests thus far. Though I’m familiar with the general topics, I’ve learned something new from each one.
Keep up the good work!!!
