Farming takes grit and so does leading in today’s world. That’s why we created FB Grit, a one-day event on Saturday, February 7, 2026, designed especially for farmers and rural leaders who want to grow personally and professionally.  
 
Location: The Merrill Hotel, 119 W Mississippi Dr, Muscatine, IA 52761 
 
We’ll start the day with a YouMap® Workshop led by Sheri Zevenbergen of The Dash Mindset. This hands-on session will help you identify your strengths, values, and what truly motivates you so you can lead with clarity, whether it’s on the farm/business, in your family, or in your community.
 
 In the afternoon, you’ll hear from Olympic gold medalist and legendary coach Dan Gable, who knows a thing or two about grit. He’ll share the mindset that helped him dominate on the mat and in life—lessons in discipline, resilience, and preparation that apply just as much to farming as they do to sports.
 
We’ll wrap up with “Your Game Plan + One Bold Move,” an interactive session where you’ll reflect, connect, and commit to one meaningful action you’ll take in the week ahead. Then, celebrate your progress with networking, dinner, and drinks.
