“Using language like “just” imposes a glass ceiling we don’t need. We’re not minimising our vision or ourselves”

No More “Just” – Tori Kopke

So Crisp Podcast

Tori Kopke’s website copy starts with:

“I don’t believe in fancy buzz words and chats about innovation. I believe in setting goals, getting focused and achieving results.”

Straight down the line but tempered with one of the bleeding sunniest dispositions and can-do vibe I’ve ever been bear hugged with, Tori says she’s a “Texan transplant” and has found herself in rural WA, running a farm with her husband, and helping particularly rural businesses with her fresh and experienced advice.

Tori is one of my favourite kinds of business owners – she’s multilayered, complex, and interesting. And she has OPINIONS! Her Facebook post on not quite knowing what to call oneself when you run a farm with your farming husband is both hilarious and poignant. And, dear listener, you know – I love a woman who has something to say.

I frist met Tori when she was extraordinarily pregnant at a rural event I was invited to speak at our in Calingiri. It’s not just her accent that makes her immediately noticeable, she’s kind of… sparkly.

So when she pitched to come on So Crisp and talk about the way women talk about their businesses, I jumped.
