PAC Talk with Pieter Vodden

Where does your food come from? Why is it important? What don’t you know about the food you are buying and consuming? We cover so much in this podcast. Elana is one of the most in-demand personal chefs working in LA today and she is extremely passionate about the quality of food she serves. She buys from farmers she knows and cooks in a way that best serves the health of her clients. I guarantee you need to listen to this podcast and I also guarantee that you will never drink Oat Milk again once you realize what it really is!

One of my favorites guests, I hope you enjoy

Jason Hazard is the writer, director, and producer of the new American satire “Die Surely”. He is also an OG member of the PHAROS Athletic Club. After a career in PR and Journalism, he has realized his dream as a scriptwriter and movie maker. We talk about his journey, how he made it happen, the community that helped make it happen, and the complexities, contradictions, and confusions of the pandemic that contribute to the tone and humor of his work. This was a fantastic conversation drawing on many points we can all relate to. It is also just a wonderful story about how, with ambition, perseverance, and the generosity of people, we can turn dreams into reality.

One of my favorite podcasts of all time today with Carrie from Richards Grassfed Beef. Carrie owns and runs a 5 generation ranch in NorCal that has returned exclusively to Regenerative Farming. I don’t get “star-struck “ often but I am humbled and marveled by what Carrie, her family and everyone involved with the project are doing … for the welfare of the animals, for the planet, for the health of us humans, and for the future of the farming community. The podcast will be launched this weekend. We talk about all things regenerative farming; what it is, how it works, why it’s important, and hear Carrie’s amazing story. As with all good change it happens with awareness, education, and understanding so please listen and spread the word! The right choices are never the easy choices but they are the choices that change the course of things for the better. This is a topic that doesn’t get the attention it deserves because it doesn’t have the money behind it that other “solutions” do … but this is a genuine and bold movement that deserves far more media than it gets.

Richards Grassfed Beef is certified by the American Grassfed Association and is the first beef company on the west coast to receive the Savory Institute's Ecological Outcome Verified certificate.

Richards Grassfed Beef's mission is to provide the highest quality grass-fed beef to its customers and do so in the most transparent and sustainable way possible. Our animals are never fed grain, corn products, or given antibiotics, or growth hormones. Richards Grassfed Beef ranches are dedicated to providing the highest quality care for our animals to reduce stress and ensure proper care and feeding:

• Cattle are grass-fed and grass-finished
• Cattle are born and raised on our family ranches
• Pastures are never artificially fertilized
• Cattle are never fed hormones or antibiotics
• Cattle are not taken to feedlots to be “finished,” – they fatten on natural grass

This week I sit down with 3 time CrossFit Games Masters Athlete Leka Fineman. We talk in-depth about her fitness journey; her experiences, her challenges, and the complexities of competing at a high level in your 40s and 50s when you have a full-time job and kids. Her story is both inspirational and very real and a valuable lesson in what can be done if you have a strong enough WHY and a bold enough attitude. Leka’s passion is now to help women who are entering “the next phase” of their lives. She is here to help and her knowledge and experience put her in a unique position to do so …. Enjoy!

This week I sit down with my favorite Bodybuilder and good friend IFBB Pro Jon De la Rosa. We discuss the sport, the lessons it teaches, the toll it takes, and the importance of self-worth. Jon is genuinely one of the nicest guys I know and his outlook on life, his personality and his purpose brings a special and unique insight into a bodybuilder's journey. I loved recording this podcast with him and I know you guys will be fascinated by what he has to say because the lessons he teaches are far beyond the realm of sets and reps….
