Lessons From the Farm with John Warkentin
This week, we’re bringing you lessons from the farm—but they’re about so much more than farming. If you’ve wondered how to help your kids find meaningful work, get ready for inspiration from a wheat farmer-entrepreneur from Saskatchewan, Canada.
John Warkentin is a 4th-generation grain farmer. After getting a degree in finance, he and his wife returned to the farm to start their life together. Over the next couple of decades, they got really good at the business of farming.
But as entrepreneurs at heart, they wanted more. So, as John grew a commercial property appraisal business, they also started building and developing multi-family housing. In this episode, he reveals the unique strategy that helped keep his properties full even during the pandemic.
John is also part of Strategic Coach, a company dedicated to growing entrepreneurs. He used the Coach concept that worked so well for him to help his sons find their own place in the world of work.
“John taught his boys that work is not just trading time for money,” says BEATS WORKING host Mark Wright. “It’s about using your unique ability to do meaningful work that energizes us and creates value at the same time.”
