UFC Hall of Famer Pat Miletich sits down with permaculture warriors Billy and William Bond for an unfiltered conversation about America's collapsing food system and the battle-tested solutions to take back your food freedom.
For 80 years, industrial agriculture has waged war on American soil—converting WWII nitrogen bombs into fertilizer, replacing living earth with dead dirt, and creating a population dependent on a system designed to collapse. Billy Bond, founder of Perma Pastures Farm and soil microscopy expert, reveals the shocking truth: 99% of soil samples they test are completely void of life except bacteria. America's topsoil—our #1 export—is dead.
But this isn't just about farming. Your gut microbiome mirrors soil biology. Dead soil creates sick people. And the system profits from both.
Billy (former U.S. Army Sapper, trained by Dr. Elaine Ingham) and his son William (Permaculture Design Certificate holder who studied under Geoff Lawton in Australia) break down:
→ Why "invasive species" are actually nature's repair crew → How to make real compost that fixes soil permanently → The neighborhood strategy that could end SNAP dependence → Why store-bought compost is void of life → How they raise livestock for FREE (and make money doing it) → The water crisis nobody's talking about (100 trillion gallons lost annually) → Growing food sovereignty from balconies to 2,000-acre plantations → The parallel between soil health and human health → Why you can't rebel against a system you depend on
This is the fork in the road. One path leads to dependence, disease, and control. The other leads to sovereignty, health, and freedom.
Billy Bond is a former U.S. Army Sapper, journeyman electrician, and trained butcher turned regenerative farmer and educator. As the founder of Perma Pastures Farm in Western North Carolina, Billy teaches practical permaculture, composting, and self-reliance through his popular YouTube channel (165K+ subscribers) and Permaculture P.I.M.P.cast podcast. A husband, father, and veteran, he combines hard-won experience, faith, and humor to inspire others to build resilience, restore land, and live with purpose—proving that freedom isn't given, it's grown
William grew up in the preparedness world before transitioning into homesteading and eventually permaculture. He earned his Permaculture Design Certificate from Nicholas Burtner at The School of Permaculture in Plano, Texas, and studied under Geoff Lawton at Zaytuna Farm in Australia. He also apprenticed with Earthship Biotecture in Taos, NM, and took Dr. Elaine Ingham's courses on Soil Biology and Microscopy. With nearly a decade of consulting experience—from small urban balconies to 2,000-acre plantations—William continues to consult and teaches his own Permaculture Design Course, helping others create regenerative systems that work with nature.
The choice is yours. The battle starts in your soil.
