In this episode, John Haskell welcomes back Joseph Gardiner to talk about how curiosity turned into a company. Joseph shares the story behind launching Covers & Co, what problem he saw in the marketplace, and how he moved from idea to action while still managing the demands of his farming operation.

The conversation walks through the realities of starting something from scratch, including testing ideas, managing risk, navigating uncertainty, and staying disciplined when early traction is slow. Joseph explains how the same principles that guide good marketing and financial decision-making on the farm also apply when building a new business.

This episode is a practical look at entrepreneurship in agriculture, and a reminder that opportunity often starts with asking better questions and being willing to follow through.
