What began with a tent purchased from an anonymous $200 donation and Dawnna Berndt's idea to grow a garden to bring in more income, turned into a family-based vegetable farm market business (Berndt Family Produce) that's been serving their community of customers in eastern South Dakota and western Minnesota for 24 years. At the time, she and her husband, David, had five young children and even though she admits she knew zilch about gardening (she told me she was the “inside girl” and her sister was the “outside girl” when they were growing up), she leaned on David's knowledge as a lifelong farmer to start growing and harvesting veggies on less than two acres and selling the produce at their local farm stands and self-serve stands.  Since their start in 2000, they've grown to six children, eight grandkids, 30 acres of sweet corn and 25 acres of some of the best vegetables, CSAs and canning and salsa shares around! And Dawnna says that along with all that growth and change, faith and family have always been at the center of what they do and how they treat people. Berndt Family Produce grows everything from broccoli, tomatoes, cabbage, garlic, tomatoes, peppers, onions, pumpkins, gourds, sweet corn, squash, cauliflower, potatoes radish, carrots, watermelon, cucumbers, beans, muskmelon, and more. While you're listening, learn more about Berndt Family Produce at Berndtproduce.com. I also posted photos and the recipe links from Dawnna for their favorite corn salsa, potato soup, copycat KFC coleslaw, roasted garlic parmesan potatoes, and 11 easy potato recipes on randomsweets.com.

Dawna is ‘the coach's coach' and helps people with the right knowledge, expertise, and passion translate their coaching skills to the online world where people are absolutely killing it these days.

At 19 years old  Dawnna called a broken down to dodge home. She made her first bartering deal soon after. A man who hated washing windows at a local YMCA exchanged this task to her for access to a hot shower. Soon after, she was befriended by a not so friendly police officer who called her "stupid."  She would learn later that it was a term that pushed her out of her situation and into her greatness.  We all have greatness.  How does yours show up? What impacts does it make on society?  Dawnna transformed a class business project (that the professor did not agree with)  into a $250M Empire called BizIntel.   What do you do when someone says no? Dawnna sold BizIntel for 250M.  Today she shares her incites and where her drive comes from to rock riches.

Dawnna St. Louis (@DawnnaStLouis on twitter) joins host Craig Price to discuss confidence. Typically, Craig wouldn't have a speaker come talk about confidence because it usually ends up in the realm of unicorn fart and rainbows. You know, too much fluff not enough real stuff. But Dawnna proves her ideas on confidence and entrepreneurship are more than grounded in reality. The two realists talk about her soon to be released book "Mojo Mogul",  Steve Jobs, Hitler (not at the same time!), what are gut feelings and intuition and how there is more to confidence than being over-confident. It’s a wide ranging episode that covers many issues entrepreneurs face every day on their way to mogul-dom.  You can learn all about Dawnna at her obviously named website  http://www.dawnna.com - She's like Prince, Cher and Sade!
