Hey! We are Ryan and Jen, your hosts!
We are parents first and foremost. We can relate to the overwhelm that comes with the show pig world. We want to make show ring success accessible to more through education.
But more than that, we want to promote the life success that happens because of the show ring. This starts with your show community. Let us introduce you to people who want to walk alongside you through your show journey.
Ryan and Jen have a passion for educating as Ryan is a teacher and a mentor in the community. Jen runs online events like this and loves to make new connections.
