Episode 59: Building Community Around Bread Day W/Daniel Shear

My guest on today’s podcast is Daniel Shear. Daniel and his wife are the founders of Seasons Yield Farm, a Bakery & Farm in the Heart of the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia that offers organic, wood-fired, wild-leavened sourdough breads and pastries, whose mission is to connect their community with nourishing products, wonderful people, and the crafts of talented local artisans. In this episode Daniel shares his journey from being in special operations in the army to making a stark transition and moving to rural America to start a farm with his wife, after making the decision to be more present as a husband and father. Daniel shares how they started Bread Days every other week that now bring hundreds (sometimes a thousand) people together around bread, coffee, wood fired pizza, and community. This community and hospitality piece of their business has been pivotal to their success. And listen to the end as Daniel shares the 5 ways he defines success in the different areas of his life. So with that introduction, I hope you enjoy this episode of the Self-Employment Success Podcast with Daniel Shear.
