Where Hope Grows

On this week's episode of Where Hope Grows, we take you live to the mainstage of the first annual "What Good Shall I Do" conference to listen to an amazing panel that demonstrates the power of collaboration. The concept of "collaboration" is a story we see played out in all of Mother Nature's brilliant architecture, yet humans often choose "competition" when establishing relationships and access to resources. This story is about regeneration, the management of hundreds of thousands of acres of land, the creation of a new supply chain, and the bison burger that served as a catalyst! My guests on today's episode represent 3 completely different industries, coming together, working in synchrony, and creating hope.

Featuring: Robby Sansom (Force of Nature), Bob Wesley (Turner Ranches), and Matt Schweitzer (Hopdoddy)

On this week's episode of Where Hope Grows, I am joined by my co-founders, Robby Sansom and Katie Collins to relive our journey in the chicken industry. From first hand perspective as poultry ranchers, to the boycotting of consuming chicken, and the unlikely decision to reimagine the potential of poultry, this insightful episode is devoted to removing the blinders of the industrial poultry system and explore the possibility of creating a new model that is consistent with Nature's image. After listening to this episode you will never see chicken through the same lens.

On this week's episode of Where Hope Grows, I sit with my wife and life partner, Katie Forrest to talk about all things bison ranching. We spend time to share and reflect on a few of our favorite (and most traumatic) stories as first generation bison ranchers. Through these stories we discuss how to cope with a 140 bison vision quest, what to do when a cult leader comes to your ranch, as well how our bison breeding program has evolved over time. These stories serve as reminders of the deeper wisdom and important lessons bestowed upon us in our journey through regenerative agriculture.
