Come for the Margin, Stay for the Memes
Excellent podcast describing how to achieve margin, very good meme takes as well. The combination can only mean glory and immortality, which every merchant dreams of.
Awesome podcast
Awesome podcast that opened my eyes to the grain industry and has helped me understand better how bins, spreads, and basis should be managed. Great hosts that make it fun and entertaining as well. Eagerly waiting for more new episodes!
Educational, Informative and Occasional Humorous
I have been around the grain industry my entire life. These two are very informative and make it a fun listening experience. I am in a regulatory agency currently and it is relaxing to listed to Roger and Jason after a long day. I recently met them in person at a White Commercial Meeting and found them to be very passionate about their field of expertise while still being down to earth guys and willing to educate and teach a wide array of the grain industry. Thank you Roger and Jason and I hope to cross path again soon.
