Some of the subject matter includes Mindset + Clarity Coaching + Online Marketing + Sales + Entrepreneurship + Hormone Hacks + Health/Wellness + A Bit of Ranch Life Sprinkled In & More! Cheyenne Glade Wilson is a fifth-generation cattle rancher and was born a “cowgirlpreneur”. She got her first job day-working when she was 11 years old and grew up very hands-on on her family’s working cattle ranch in Montana. She was riding before she could walk (literally). Hard work and tenacity are skills that she feels have helped her along the way. She believes these skills can be accessed at any stage in life.Cheyenne has a lot of personal experience in business. She has worked in big cities and in the middle of nowhere. She has had bosses and she’s been the boss. She knows what it’s like to work from the bottom up and what it’s like to work for herself. She knows what it’s like to start companies and organically grow them. Cheyenne also knows the importance of having multiple streams of income. Ranchers only get one paycheck per year so figuring out how to earn that much-needed revenue was extremely important in helping her and her family make ends meet. She knows about all sorts of the obstacles that can come along and how to navigate through them. Cheyenne is no stranger to adversity in life and work. She has done a lot of living and enjoys sharing what she has learned in hopes of helping others. She enjoys using humor, inspiration, and positivity to share her message with the world. Cheyenne is a huge supporter of agriculture and women in ranching. She truly believes that the sky isn’t even the limit for anyone wanting more out of life.Cheyenne went from bankruptcy to earning 7 figures in three years in her side gig...while living 60 miles from the nearest grocery store…on a sometimes-impassible road…in the poorest area per capita in the entire country. She knows what it takes to breakthrough and she enjoys helping women uncover their potential, hone-in on their skills, organically grow their businesses, and annihilate self-doubt. Cheyenne is obsessed with the idea that creating a life that is rich in all things that light them up...is a total reality no matter where a person lives! Cheyenne's calling is empowering women to create their BEST life by discovering what sets their souls on fire. Prioritizing what matters most and how to live a life worth fighting for are daily areas of focus for her.

Home-Grown Ingenuity: Interview with Erica Mannix
Sometimes raw talent is something that isn't discovered until we step out of our comfort zone and try something new! In today's podcast, Cheyenne interviews Erica Mannix, to discuss her time on the ranch and how she fills her time outside of ranchwork.
Erica Mannix is one of 5 members of the 5th generation currently working on the Mannix Ranch in Helmville, MT. The ranch is currently managed by members of both the 4th and 5th generation and is currently working through the process of succession. It is largely a cow-calf and stocker operation in addition to growing a direct-to-consumer meat brand called Mannix Family Grass-Finished Beef. Erica moved back to the ranch two and a half years ago after years of attending undergrad and graduate school, working as an elementary teacher, training horses, and working as a Holistic Ranch Management intern. She now works about ¾ time for the family ranch, works part-time for the Quivira Coalition’s New Agrarian Program doing workshop and education coordination, and fills her remaining hours with custom leatherwork.
Who is Cheyenne Wilson?
Cheyenne was fortunate to grow up on her family's working cattle ranch in southeastern Montana. This is where her intense love of horses and cattle began. She also learned to love and respect the land from a very young age. She runs black Angus cattle and raises half-draft horses with her husband and son. Their place is known as the Lazy Six Nine Ranch. Cheyenne is also an enrolled member of the Oglala Lakota Sioux tribe. She and her family reside and ranch on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. They also spend time in Montana in the Beartooth Mountains.
Cheyenne strives daily to spread positivity and awareness of modern-day ranching. One of her passions is empowering women involved in agriculture to live life at a higher level. She strives to perpetuate the ever-evolving role of women in agriculture through her blog (The Native Cowgirl), public speaking, photography, and social media outlets.
She loves helping rural entrepreneurs level up in what they are passionate about. This includes updating company branding, amplifying social media platforms, increasing website traffic, one-on-one coaching for business/personal growth, etc.
She has been able to build her business from the ground up earning 7-figures in only three years -- in the middle of nowhere.
She always says, "If I can do this, you can too!"
