Matthew Gauger | Why I Left the City to Grow My Own Food #62
In this episode of Built for Growth, Miesha sits down with Matthew Gauger, creator of Greenhorn Grove, who turned 25 acres of raw land into a thriving homestead built on self-reliance, learning, and purpose.
From managing nightclubs and battling burnout to finding peace through growing his own food, Matthew shares how he transformed his life by trading nightlife for nature. He opens up about the journey to sobriety, starting with zero experience, and building a lifestyle — and a community — centered on simplicity, growth, and gratitude.
