The title of this episode is a mouthful, but it basically covers what we talk about. I love what Rick Kohut is doing and how he integrates his basic philosophy of life in all areas of his life.I have been wanting to interview Rick Kohut ever since I met him, and with the upcoming conference he is organizing, called the Basic Human Needs Conference, I finally got ultra motivated to get it done sooner than later as the conference is happening on Friday, March 28th in Didsbury AB.This interview is close to my heart and it encompasses so many of the values I live by.... owning our health, eating real food and supporting those that bring it to us, being self-responsible, being stewards of the land to support the health and longevity of current and future generations, education and more.You will find Rick to be very peaceful and solid in how he presents himself, because at the core of what he does he is always applying the law that nature doesn't make mistakes.When one embodies this concept, then confidence is yours and in Rick - farmer, health food store owner, Weston A. Price chapter leader, health practitioner - this confidence and knowledge is palpable.This is such a great interview that encompasses several key topics that when embraced can really move us forward in getting our power and health back.0:04:20 - Rick's story from conventional farming, to chemical and fertilizer sales to organic farming to regenerative agriculture and living in tune with nature0:11:30 - How Rick realized that he was so disconnected and didn't actually know where his conventionally farmed crops were going0:13:40 - How are organic mono-cropping is still not working with nature and elements of regenerative agriculture0:16:10 - The realization that the more nature is mimicked, the more she provides0:18:20 - The difference between conventional agriculture with single crops vs. regenerative agriculture with poly crops and harvesting0:21:20 - Glyphosate, not the only dangerous or even most dangerous chemical in use, though the most abundantly used0:30:40 - Which crops are being desiccated with glyphosate (shocking answer)0:30:30 - The deception that most farmers actually make food when really most are growing commodities0:39:30 - The length of time it takes to restore teh land when switching to reg. agriculture from conventional farming0:41:15 - The supplements that rick uses on his soil0:42:20 - The difference between organic and regenerative farming0:45:45 - How ingredients have changed over the last decade0:46:40 - How the 5 Biological Laws of German New Medicine apply to farming0:49:00 - the closer you mimic nature, the less symptoms you will have, even when talking about plants0:53:00 - Examples of how Rick would support animals through their symptoms in accordance with GNM0:56:25 - The power of observing and mimicking the wild0:58:30 - The truth of the conventional feed industry1:01:00 - How Rick operates privately to provide the quality products he produces1:02:40 - The upcoming Basic Human Needs Conference1:12:00 - How fear-mongering is the basis of marketing1:13:50 - Learning about GNM at the BHN conference1:16:00 - How conflicts are resolved much more quickly from a rational state of mind compared to an irrational sate of mind1:17:15 - Opportunity to meet your Alberta farmers at the conference1:22:30 - Trade show to be a the conference as well - come meet more local peeps doing good in the world1:26:15 - The work of Weston A.

We're joined by Tony Adragna, our BHN teammate, to talk about his most recent article on Assembly Call and discuss the IU men's basketball job. One of the main narrative points that has come up during recent searches has involved the relative qualtiy of the Indiana job --- with many media members outside of the IU sphere (and even a few in it, along with some fans) claiming that there's something inherently flawed with the job, and that it's not actually that attractive or that good as a destination. We explore that perspective by looking back at the past four-ish coaching hires, discussing the tenures of each coach, and evaluating some of the factors that have led to each tenure ultimately not being successful.
