In this episode we talk all things bison! Cody has an awesome story to share:

• Growing up on a farm
• Then diving head first into the bison world, learning as much as he could
• Working on his first bison ranch, eventually working with his own small herd there
• Helping start Force of Nature's Roam Ranch in Fredericksburg, Texas with the founders of EPIC
• Working with the great Nicole Masters

And we talked on the history of bison and why they are so great for our land! I really enjoyed this one considering bison is the main logo for this brand.

Former MMA fighter, Kyle Kingsbury is a first-generational farmer at Gardners of Eden, a nonprofit regenerative farm that puts a heavy emphasis on education! He has also been a part of Fit for Service, which hosts "Transformational events with master coaches" and is meant to help folks be Physically, Mentally, Emotionally, Spiritually, Romantically, and Financially Fit.

I really enjoyed sitting down in person with Kyle as he shares his passion with regenerative agriculture, connection to the land, and wanted to help educate others.

One of the legends and pioneers in the space, it was amazing getting to have Joel Salatin on the podcast. We briefly covered his backstory, current agriculture climate and the proposed animal tagging, chicken feed, what can be done to bring more folks into the regenerative ag space, and more!

Kelli is a fifth-generation farmer, growing up in Nebraska, now farming in Kodiak, Alaska. It was great hearing her story and what led her to moving Kodiak, Alaska which is only accessible by boat. She is the owner of The Last Small Farm, putting a big emphasis on education. She hosts camps, retreats, and summer internships 

Sam is a first-generation farmer along with his brothers and father. He shares a great story of how and why he started, growing pains along the way, stories from customers, experiences working with retail stores and restaurants, pasture v store-bought, conventionally raised pork, and more!

I had the pleasure of sitting down in person with John Pantalone from Amber Oaks Ranch. I enjoyed this conversation hearing his story, talking about a serious problem in agriculture that's not talked about (suicide), the pros and cons of farmer's markets, self-sovereignty, and more! 

Former MMA fighter Travis Browne has always been an avid hunter, making him think about where his food comes from. He and his wife, Rhonda Rousey started Browsey Acres when they bought their first Wagyu, Kobe. We talked about his first experience raising Kobe as well as the day Travis harvested him. Travis is a first-generation rancher, so it was awesome hearing him dive deep into the regenerative agriculture world, expanding his operation, and wanting to help educate others.

This is unlike any episode I have done so far. SolBrah does not work in agriculture but he is one Twitter account that has had a major impact on my life and helped me overcome the very things that led me to start Regenaissance. I was able to sit down with him in person to share my personal experiences from my time with my brother as his caretaker and help my mother, who both are now gone. We then dived into the healthcare system, food system, taking back our health and something that's not discussed enough, your mindset and what you tell others but most importantly, yourself. This is one of the most meaningful conversations I have had in my life because I have been following him for years, folks might disagree with his viewpoints but there is no denying what he preaches works, I'm living proof. 

He just released his book, The Sol Way, which can be purchased here

Mark McAfee is one of the leading pioneers in raw dairy. He started Raw Farm in California back in 1997 and has seen an explosion of growth since then. I really enjoyed this conversation where Mark talked about:

- How he started Raw Farm
- History of raw milk
- Health benefits and research behind raw dairy
- Dairy farm crisis in America

And more!
