Whatup fam,

Today I had on First Light Farms founder, Jason Ross who we call “Jace.”

If you're into high-quality top-notch grass-fed beef, I’m sure you’re already a fan of First Light. A brand that can be found in Bristol Farms, Lassens, and tons of other natural grocers, and now even at Ralph’s in some areas.  With some of the top cuts in the world found in their Steak Club and just a few of some of the highest-end steak restaurants in the world.

First Light Farms was founded by Jason and a couple of friends frustrated with the traditional meat value chain. 

They had cut their teeth in the industry and were unhappy with the lack of transparency and the commodity mindset. 

They also identified a problem they thought they could solve – beef with the consistency, tenderness, and succulence of grain-fed, raised on grass without any nasty and unhealthy inputs. 

So Jason and his friends set about inventing 100% grass-fed wagyu beef, and they created a value chain to seamlessly connect consumers who care, with groups of like-minded farmers.

Guys, there’s a reason why Forbes calls it the best beef in the world.

If you’re someone who’s interested in regenerative farming, conscious consumerism or perhaps just the best freaking steak in the world, we got it all in this episode!

And hey if you get value from the show please share it with a friend, tag me on social and definitely subscribe. It means the world to me. 

I appreciate you spending your time with us. Enjoy the show!

Today I had on Dominic Kalms, a 3-time venture-backed entrepreneur and philanthropist. 

He has raised over $120M in venture and philanthropic capital during his career and has been featured in an array of media publications such as NBC, Forbes, CBS, Entrepreneur, BBC, Yahoo and more! 

He was most recently profiled on the front page of Entrepreneur.com, as well as in the Goldman Sachs Philanthropy web series.

Dominic’s no joke, fam!

He is the founder and previous CEO of the popular online platform GVNG which Forbes called "One of the most revolutionary platforms in the social impact space today.”

Today, Dominic is CEO of a new venture-backed FinTech company B Generous, which is revolutionizing how people donate to nonprofits through the advent of the first-ever philanthropic credit product. Think donate today, pay tomorrow. Essentially the Shopify of Philanthropy.

Dominic is also a well-known public speaker and has spoken at many global forums on philanthropy & technology such as the United Nations Summit, Nexus Summit, Global Citizen Forum, TEDx, and the list goes on and on. 

This is one of my favorite shows to date because we really get into the concept of scaling impact through really creative business concepts that solve real-life problems at scale. And frankly, Dominic’s a freakin badass entrepreneur with endless amounts of energy fueled by purpose.
