Buffalo Ranchers Gone Wild!

Please meet Jesse and Drew from the Bison Ridge Ranch in Packwaukee, WI. 

Before arriving in Packwaukee, they lived in Boulder, Colorado, living an existance that was not too bad.

Jesse was a professional seamstress, longing to create cloth works of art but finding that alterations and sewing repairs were paying the bills.  And paying them reasonable well, too. 

Drew was a technology guy, spending most of his time doing CAD/CAM on a computer but then changing careers paths temporarily to assist Jesse in her seamstress business.

 

    Then the economy took a dive and Boulder became too expensive.  Enter Jesse's mom who recently became one of the proprietors of the Bison Ridge Ranch in Packwaukee, WI.  They have about 300 acres of grazing land and about 380 buffalo whose main job is to graze.  Sounds nice, right?

Welcome to The Next Thing
We'd like to welcome you to Our Next Thing: the site that explores what drives people to the next cool thing.  On this site, we'll find and interview interesting persons who have worked much of their lives in one occupation and then have move on to another.  Why did they do it? We'll ask them the questions that probe that very question.  We'll see where they were and where they are now.  And hopefully, we'll find some insight as we delve into where we are going ourselves.

What we are doing here
My name is Greg and I’ve embarked on a very interesting journey for which I’m seeking your help.

My wife, Brooke and I, are planning to take a road trip to identify, travel to and interview persons who have had significant life changes.  That is, those who have changed careers from one industry into another.  

Both Brooke and I are about in the middle of the so-called “Baby Boomer” generation and we’re also looking for “the next thing”.  Toward this end, we have created a website called www.ournextthing.com and are planning on putting these interviews along with text descriptions of our newly found subjects.  Our hope is that we, as well as those people who are on a similar track, will glean inspiration from the life changes of our interview subjects.
