The Brunson Podcast

Today’s guest is Matthieu Mehuys—an award-winning author, landscape architect, and regenerative farming visionary. He grew up on a family farm in Belgium, where his obsession with plants started at just three years old. That early passion led him to a master’s degree in landscape architecture—but after landing what seemed like a dream job, Matthieu quickly realized he was stuck in a system that didn’t match his purpose.

So, he walked away. What followed was a globe-spanning journey through some of the world’s most inspiring gardens and ecological projects. That experience shaped the work he’s doing today: designing low-maintenance, high-impact gardens, farms, and developments that help restore biodiversity and fight climate change.

In our conversation, we dig into more than just Matthieu’s journey—we explore the future of sustainable farming and gardening. From emerging tech to innovative ideas that could revolutionize how we interact with the land, Matthieu shares his vision for what’s possible when we work with nature, not against it.

He’s also the author of 12 Universal Laws of Nature and the creator of the “Garden of Your Dreams” training program, helping people around the world create spaces that thrive without heavy maintenance or environmental cost.

Matthieu, welcome to the show—let’s get into it.

Morning and evening routine are not for everyone. I have spent years trying out different things that I think will help me ping at the highest level and recently I decided to do a breakdown of my most important daily routines- among those is mediation.

Meditation is not just for monks in monasteries, or ultra spiritualists. I believe it might be one of the best things the average person can do to help them be successful in life.

There are, however, a few things that we need to know in order to make it a positive experience. Tune in and I'll walk you through my simple process on how I meditate as well as answer if I think its the most important part of my day.

Have you ever felt like you were out of alignment with your core values? When that happens you experience a dissonance with life and happiness and nothing seems to go right. James Ure is a great friend and mentor. He shares some powerful insights on how we can realign ourselves with our core ideals and how that can change us.

This is an old recording from another podcast and it was so impactful that I felt like I needed to share it on this show. Howie Saavedra shares his story on losing his wife to cancer and how he evolved as a person after that.

The final piece of the puzzle on my Gospel of Jesus Christ journey.

Core Take Aways:

- Enduring doesn't mean barely surviving, it means build and strengthening

- Reality is shaped by choices. Choose to believe in things that bless and benefit you.

This one has more than average hot takes that many of you won't agree with, but a few of the things I share here have become core to my understand of my own beliefs. I hope you find it interesting.

This one is short and sweet, but the core idea that I share here is that despite the fact that the act of baptism feels pretty simple , it is primarily a way for us to unite with our society. Its also important to bear in mind that God lives on a higher law of understand than us. I think that he sees all of this very differently.

When I was a teenager I used to feel that I had to figuratively punch myself in the face 15 times before I was allowed to ask God to change. If you've felt that way, this episode is for you.

I share how my impetus for change has itself changed. What was once shame is now just an alignment with God's will.

I also talk about how I learned that shame is less an event and more a process.
