We conduct interviews of local business owners and leaders in the business community. We'll be asking questions about their business. What it is exactly that they do (a chance to plug their product/services). How they got started. Things they've learned along the way. Advice they would give to a new entrepreneur and more.℗ & © 2023 Blue Fish Design Studio, LLC Economía Gestión y Liderazgo Liderazgo

    Apr 9 2026
    Reagan Farr, co-founder and CEO of Silicon Ranch, shares his background from Louisiana to Nashville, early lessons working at a Baton Rouge drugstore, and how his tenure in Tennessee state government led to founding Silicon Ranch in 2011. He explains what shaped the company's strategy as they started during the 2008–2010 downturn. Farr addresses community concerns and pushback around the Stockton, Alabama project, citing a similar experience in Bacon County, Georgia and emphasizing safety, wetlands avoidance, tax benefits, local jobs, and agrivoltaics with sheep and cattle. ** Show note: Apologies about the sound. We had an issue that meant the audio was not as good towards the end but we felt strongly enough about putting the episode out that we are releasing it.
