About the Founder/Lead Consultant:
Thomas Self got his start in restaurants at 15 years old and worked his way up to managerial, executive, and entrepreneurial roles for highly successful companies. He remains a partner for a bustling tavern in western Washington but now also owns and operates a first-generation ranch in eastern Washington. His deep understanding of these two tough industries, one as a veteran, and the other as a relative newcomer, has given him the desire to help others. ]]></description><link>https://www.pastureandplateconsulting.com/blog</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Sat, 20 Jun 2026 16:13:40 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://www.pastureandplateconsulting.com/blog-feed.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/></channel></rss>
