This week, Darrell Richards graces us with his presence this week. Darrell is one of the coolest cats around. He is often seen toting a bandana, beard, and a bike. But behind that badass appearance is one helluva good dude. Darrell takes us through his past growing up on a farm and being involved in his community all the way to his lifestyle now and his side hustles.

Bio: I was raised on a mixed farm of beef, grain, bison, and certified seed. Growing up on a farm taught me strong work ethic, honesty, and how to be part of a community. My years in 4-H and various other young farmer programs prepared me for the workforce, the big scary world we live in, and how to be a part of my community no matter where I live.
