111 | Dignity in the Details: How We Show Up Matters

In Today’s Episode:

In this solo episode of Leaders Of The West, our host Jessie Jarvis is getting personal and digging into a topic that’s been weighing on her heart: why taking pride in how we show up still matters—and no, it’s not about keeping up with trends or having a designer wardrobe.

Jessie reminds us that the way we present ourselves isn’t about vanity. It’s about the values we hold close in the ag and western industries—discipline, hard work, and respect. Whether you’re heading into a business meeting, a parent-teacher conference, a branding pen, or the grocery store, how you show up sends a message to the world—and to yourself—about who you are and what you represent.

In this episode, she shares:

• Why intention matters more than expensive clothes or trends
• How your appearance communicates professionalism, even in casual settings
• Practical, budget-friendly tips for getting dressed with confidence
• Why showing up with care reflects the pride we take in our work and our industry

This episode is a powerful reminder that when we carry ourselves with intention, we elevate not just ourselves, but our entire industry. If we want others to take agriculture and the western way of life seriously, we need to take ourselves seriously first.
