In this eye-opening conversation, Britt sits down with California cowgirl, Alli Fender to discuss the challenges faced by California ranchers, including regulatory pressures, those doomsday warnings of methane emissions, water restrictions, and economic impacts... and how this all impacts you and the meat on your table.
They explore sustainable ranching practices, consumer concerns about beef safety (is our beef injected with the new technology?), and the threat of screw worms.
The discussion emphasizes the importance of supporting local ranchers and understanding the rich heritage of ranching in California.
More about Alli and Flying F Ranch:
Allison (Alli) Fender grew up in the gorgeous San Diego backcountry on a small Dairy and Beef operation.
She attended San Diego Mesa College and played soccer on the women’s team while attending the Animal Health program offered there. In 2014, she obtained her Associate of Science Degree in Animal Health Technology and became licensed as a Registered Veterinary Technician. She worked in several small animal hospitals in the area.
A month after graduation in 2014, she and her high school sweetheart were married on Mesa Chiquita Ranch, where she grew up. Her dad gifted her and her husband, Bryce, ten bred heifers, which was the start of their beef herd.
Flying F Ranch was established in 2020 after Bryce and Alli created the brand and business selling beef directly to San Diego consumers. Their motto is “We Give a Flying F About BEEF.”
In 2021, they added Registered Black Angus cattle into their herd to improve carcass quality. The couple learned more about genetics and began breeding more mindfully, propelling their beef business to a higher level.
The couple currently sells Black Angus Beef direct to consumer as whole/half shares and USDA retail at local farmer’s markets. They recently started offering ranch to table experiences for San Diego locals to come enjoy a 5 course beef inspired meal curated by a local chef. They bring in local wineries and breweries to pair with the menu. The dinners are on open pastures on the ranch with cattle grazing nearby.
Bryce and Alli raise their three children on the ranch together. They believe raising the next generation beside them will teach them valuable life lessons and memories.

In this special 50th episode of The Britt Mayer Show, Britt engages in a deep and thought-provoking conversation with children's rights activist and author Katy Faust about the complexities and ethical dilemmas surrounding IVF and reproductive technologies.

In this powerful episode, Britt Mayer and special guest Jennifer Sey confront the current realities female athletes face, diving into the crucial fight to keep girls’ sports exclusively for girls, ensuring fair competition without boys.
Jenn, a bold whistleblower, shares her journey exposing abuse in athletics and the reason why it is so important to stand firm and why she launched XX-XY Athletics - the only athletic brand standing up for women’s sports.
“Throughout my life I’ve risked my reputation, job and social standing to stand up for children, women and free speech. XX-XY Athletics is the culmination of everything I’ve ever done in my life." - Jennifer Sey
Sey highlights XXXY Athletics’ mission to foster a safe, supportive space for girls and women to excel on a fair playing field.
The conversation also digs into the relentless push for equality and safety, delivering sharp insights and a rallying cry for change.
Subscribe and share widely.
About Jenn:
Jennifer Sey has been speaking truth and standing up for women and children for nearly two decades. First, in 2008 when she wrote a book called “Chalked Up,” exposing the abusive coaching practices in gymnastics. Despite her credentials (7x National Team Member and 1986 National Champ), the gymnastics community didn’t much like the things she was saying. (Apparently you were supposed to protect the reputations of abusive coaches and Jen didn’t get that memo.) But she persisted. And truth outed in the end.
Jen stood up again in 2020, speaking inconvenient truths during covid in saying public schools should be open because children’s education matters. For that, she was ostracized by friends and her community and her reputation took a beating. But she persisted. And truth outed in the end. Jen has also had a successful professional career. She is actually quite the brand builder, having been named one of Forbes’ Most Influential Chief Marketing Officers 2 years in a row.
Now, Jen is taking all that experience as an athlete, an executive and an advocate for women and children to build something uniquely her own. The brand is called XX-XY Athletics and it is the only athletic brand standing up for women’s sports. If you believe in truth and common sense and want best in class workout gear, this is the brand you’ve been waiting for. The truth looks good on you.
