Marion Calmer was 90 days behind on payments and sitting under the weight of a quarter-million in bills. Then came one farmer, one unexpected check, and one moment that changed everything. This is what resilience looks like—and how faith and community can keep you going when the

In 1975, Marion Calmer borrowed $500 to buy ten pigs—and that was the start of it all. He chose farming over engineering, even when everyone told him it wasn’t profitable. Paid back his grandma, paid the bank, and kept going. It wasn’t flashy, but it was real. Marion proves that

Trip No. 3 to Brazil started off with a wild twist, customs seized 96 hats, 100 pens, and almost my drop pan. But instead of giving up, I ended up doing a grain loss demo for five customs officers right there in the back of the airport. One spoke English, the rest watched in

From a small rented office with one employee and two borrowed desks, to a powerhouse in North America, our journey has always been about grit and belief. Now, in Brazil, we carry that same determination. Floods, setbacks, challenges, they couldn’t stop us before, and they won’t

10 unforgettable days in Brazil. Curveballs, surprises, and endless reasons to be grateful. From farm visits with Welltechagro, Vanderlei Pereira, Lais, and Alberto, to the vibrant streets of São Paulo, this trip reminded me that real success isn’t built on plans alone—it’s built

Steve Langston and I spent some time reflecting on the last 12 days and what it’s really like to take Thunderstruckag global. From unexpected challenges to big laughs, we’ve had an incredible journey so far. In this video, we share some behind-the-scenes thoughts on what it
