I Lost Everything at 26. Here's How I Built It Back

Welcome back to Barn Talk! In this episode, Tork and Sawyer sit down for an open and honest conversation comparing their lives and mindsets at the age of 26. Tork reflects on his experiences coming up in the late 1990s from the financial pressures and risks of running a farm to weathering the collapse of the hog market. Sawyer, now 26 himself, shares what it's like navigating business, investing, and rural life in today's world, where information is everywhere and opportunity looks different than it did for his father.

Together, they explore generational shifts in work ethic, financial lessons, risk-taking, relationships, and the role of faith. Through personal stories and real-world examples, Tork and Sawyer highlight what’s stayed the same and what’s changed for young people trying to build a meaningful life in rural America. This episode is full of hard truths, honest reflections, and valuable advice for anyone thinking about their own journey no matter their age.
