48 | The Mindset of a High-Performing Manager with Scott Blevins

What is the key to consistent high performance? To keep your foot on the gas and fuel in your tank in the pursuit of excellence every day?

That’s what I set out to learn when I sat down with Scott Blevins, a dairy manager at Wiese Bros. Farms in Greenleaf, Wisconsin. For 17 years, Scott has led the operation through growth, crisis, and never-ending change, yet he never lets the bar he sets for himself or his team slip below the level of excellence.

And if you know Scott, you know he operates at one speed: 100 miles per hour.

In this episode, Scott shares the habits, routines, and principles that build his resilience and endurance to stay on top of his game while managing 6,500 cows, 6,600 young stock, and a team of people at the farm.

What you’ll learn:

  • Staying physically, mentally and spiritually strong

  • Finding balance in a non-stop business

  • What Scott wishes he would have known 17 years ago when he started a career as a dairy manager

  • Scott’s core principles that create the culture at Wiese Bros. Farms
