From Pharmacy to Ranching With Natalie Kovarik
In the latest episode of the Dairy Hour podcast, host Val Lavigne interviews Natalie Kovarik, a remarkable woman who transitioned from a career in pharmacy to becoming a cattle rancher and influential social media personality. Raised on a cattle ranch in Montana, Natalie always had roots in agriculture, but it wasn’t until she married a rancher in Nebraska that her journey truly began to unfold.
Natalie’s Story
Natalie’s story is one of bravery, determination, and a deep passion for agriculture. After years of working as a pharmacist, she made the bold decision to leave her stable career behind and focus on building a personal brand that educates and connects people with the agricultural industry. Her Instagram handle, @nataliekovarik, has become a platform where she shares the realities of ranching, the challenges faced by those in agriculture, and the joys of rural life.
Embracing the Entrepreneurial Spirit
In the podcast episode, Natalie delves into the various ways she has diversified her income since leaving pharmacy. From brand partnerships to YouTube revenue, hosting business retreats, professional speaking engagements, and launching an online course, Natalie has embraced the entrepreneurial spirit. She also co-hosts the Discover Ag podcast with Tara Vander Dussen, where they discuss trending topics in agriculture, bridging the gap between the industry and consumers.
Responsibility to Educate and Engage
Natalie emphasizes the importance of staying connected with consumers, particularly in an era where many people are far removed from the origins of their food. Her message is clear: those in agriculture have a responsibility to educate and engage with the public, and social media is a powerful tool for doing so.
Everything is Figure-Outable
As Natalie reflects on her journey, she attributes much of her success to her upbringing and her belief that “everything is figure-outable.” She hopes to inspire others to be brave, take risks, and pursue their passions—no matter how unconventional they may seem.
