Back on the Farm with Marji Guyler-Alaniz

Growing up on a farm was a privilege, although I didn’t think so at the time.

But now, so few people get the opportunity, and I can’t help but think they are missing out. Missing out on the nitty gritty of what it takes to really create the food we eat, the family bonding that goes along with that, and of course all the smells. Nothing like fresh cut alfalfa.

This episode we dive into foundations of starting a business strong so you can grow up big and strong. We’re going to hear all about how Marji started her business only 7 years ago, and has grown it into a mega brand, retiring her husband and creating a life people dream about. She also shares very authentically what her nitty gritty is right now and how she’s taking it one step at a time.

Marji shines a light on women in agriculture. She shares her nuggets of wisdom and inspirations for us all and I couldn’t be more proud to have her on the podcast. I hope you enjoy my interview with the lovely Marji Guyler-Alaniz.

What is The Visibility Podcast?

Welcome to The Visibility Podcast: for business owners who are ready to grow on purpose.

Hosted by Melissa Rose, studio owner and creator of the Visibility Blueprint, this show explores the real strategies behind sustainable, profitable growth.

If your marketing feels inconsistent, your sales unpredictable, or your business feels stuck despite doing “all the things,” you’re in the right place.

On this podcast, we'll talk visibility, obviously, but we'll also go deeper. Through expert guests and real conversations, we unpack sales strategy, financial awareness, team leadership, and the backend systems that keep small businesses thriving.

From Google Business Profile optimization to website and social media audits to simplifying your offers, I help you identify what’s actually working in your business, and what’s just keeping you busy. And busy? Busy is a four-letter word.

This isn’t surface-level marketing advice. This is about understanding what’s truly driving revenue in your small business, and what’s just noise.

Whether you run a brick-and-mortar storefront, a local service-based business, or a hybrid model, visibility is the foundation of sustainable growth.

Let’s make your business "The Best in Town!"
