Finally got settled into my new apartment in Athens and got to sit down with some of my new roommates and their friend Kevin. We didn't really have much of a plan when we sat down for this episode so we just talked about school and the plans for afterwards. We covered everything from online marketing to Crimson Hexagon, criminal law, and investment banking. Get ready for a blast of an episode.

Season One is a wrap! Moving into the next season, expect big things. I'm lining up some interviews at the moment but nothing final yet. Check instagram and twitter for the latest updates. 

 

On this final wrap up episode, I talk about the recent developments at Bennett Family Farm, my expedition back into the world of livestock judging and one of the best movies I've seen in a while. Enjoy and always make sure to Rate, Subscribe and tell all your friends.

It's a wet mess at the house right now! We've had a crazy amount of rain over the last week that's kinda thrown all the plans around the farm for a loop but we've still managed to get some things done. I got to attend the State CDEs at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural college the other day and had a blast judging the Employment Skills CDE. I cover all this and more in this Monday Update. Enjoy.

Still working out the details with the next few episodes of the podcast so again another update. I've been putting in a lot of time on the farm making sure everything is ready as I head off to school for the next semester. I discuss the recent happenings on Bennett Family Farms and move into more talks about my book and the things that I've been reading or working on lately. I talk about my most recent read of an autobiography of Jerry Litton and my next book "The hidden life of Trees". Enjoy.

Whats up! I've been catching up on sleep and life over the last couple weeks, but we'll get started back with the podcast. Gonna be hitting a bit of different style until we get back into school. There aren't too many people to sit down across the mic from me back home so it'll mostly just be me for some brief episodes about what I'm up to at the moment. 

On this episode, I touch briefly on the three big things that I'll be working on over the next couple of weeks. Between getting back into school, the farm, and writing a book, I'll definitely be busy. I also discuss the last few weeks of office and the transition back into the real world. Enjoy.

Wow today was a good day. We went through 4 sessions today which was a crazy amount of work and effort on behalf of the stage crew, and everyone else involved. Props to all those people for making us look so good. Definitely starting to feel the effects of the lack of sleep and the wear-n-tear of putting on a convention for 70,000ish people. Alas, the show must go on and tomorrow will be the biggest day yet. Enjoy.

Day 2 is in the books! Another crazy 18 hour day. We started early 6am and got started with our third and final opening session. It went great. We had the process down and delivered quality content. Then we moved into session two and three. In session three, I delivered my retiring address which I discuss in detail. Please enjoy. I'm headed off to bed.
