We did it. We had so much fun recording Best to the Nest surrounded by Nesters at Schuler Shoes in Wayzata, Minnesota. Big THANKS to the teams from Schuler Shoes and Hubbard Broadcasting. You all threw a great party. The shoe shopping was pretty spectacular, too. 

The conversation is super fun. Nesters are the best!

Elevate and create new conversations. Find out something new about the people you love. That is what we are doing this week. Thanks to @lifeofsaschahaert for the questions!

What is your comfort food after a rough day? 

What is a tiny everyday moment that never fails to make you smile? 

If you could relive one childhood memory, what would it be? 

What instantly lifts your mood no matter what? 

What is the kindest act somebody's ever done for you? 

What is a dream you've tucked away but still think about? 

What is the one thing you're grateful for right now?

What is the one hobby you've always wanted to try but haven't yet? 

If you could teleport anywhere tonight, where would you go? 

What quality in others makes you instantly admire them? 

What's the most meaningful compliment you've ever received?

Our guest this week is Melissa Larson from Thousand Hills Lifetime Grazed. She is part of a ranching cooperative that practices regenerative agriculture. Regenerative agriculture works to rebuild the soil on ranches and farms by honoring the natural rhythms and systems of nature. We also have a lot to say about the role the consumer plays in regenerative agriculture when deciding what to purchase and where.

Oh my. We have so much to discuss. We are chatting about how hard it is to have uncomfortable, difficult conversations. As usual, we digress, but come back to some surprising revelations, helpful suggestions, and “Nester” wisdom. Thank you all. Remember, “Be clear, but kind.”
