Your day-dream of having your own farm, a healthier life, & eating food that heals vs hurts you may not be as far away as you think!  Hopewell Farms GA is a regenerative farm in North Georgia that is 100% organic, non-GMO, pesticide-free, chemical-free... all the free!  The farm started with a former commercial banker who had a dream of helping heal the land, feed local families high-quality, healthy, nutritient-rich food -- and figuring out a lot of the details along the way.  

Whether you're looking to get tips for things specific to farming itself, or have your own business and want the answer to the age-old question "What's the one thing that fixes every other thing in my business?"  THIS. IS. FOR. YOU!

A lot of us wish life had a little more 'with' in life, but that's especially true for one group of people; families caring for someone with special needs and/or a disability.  FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) saw a need, a place & a way to come alongside families in this population -- and the FCA All-Abilities Camp was born.  Regardless of your faith, background, or current place in life, there is something to encourage every heart and every family in this story of hope, help, and loving our neighbor -- and it's FREE.

We've been wanting to get this episode launched for months because it may very well be THE episode that radically transforms your health -- and thus, your life.  In this episode, WellBeings founder, Blake Godbee shares what brought him into the wellness space from a life, health, & career perspective, as well as some of the stories of health transformation that are already happening for those in North Georgia simply by 'just showing up'.  No push-ups, no coordination classes, no schedule interruptions.  Just showing up.  I expect this will be one of the most shared episodes we've ever done.  Enjoy!

If you wish some version of the sitcom "Cheers" came back to life in the modern era, enter Blue 42 in Dahlonega, GA.  Situated walking distance from the historic Dahlonega Square and University of North Georgia, this is what I have dubbed a "new staple" in the North GA landscape.  Great coffee, locally grown cannabis products sold responsibly to help those who need the healing side of the plant-properties, and a sweet treat at 4:20 on the regular.  Have a listen and come back to "Norm!".
