Jesse Straight was raised a suburban kid. After earning a degree from UVA (Pre-Med and Religious Studies) he made a hard pivot to full-time farming at Whiffletree Farm in Warrenton, Virginia. Still a young man, Jesse and his wife have seven children and a demanding farm that keeps them both busy and in outside, which appear to have condensed his experience as a father and business owner to give him wisdom past his years. A great interview that will definitely make you think. In each episode of Learning to Dad with Tyler Ross, Tyler pulls lessons, tools and experiences from his guests, high achieving professionals (investors, entrepreneurs, business owners, athletes, etc) who've managed to find balance between their personal pursuits and being a thoughtful, deliberate father and partner. In these long form interviews, guests provide the listeners the value of their experiences, from taking professional risks to how they pivoted their professional approach after starting a family. Stories of successes and failures, personal losses and gains, stories of how to be good and great.
