Today, I am blessed to have here with me The Meat Mafia. The Meat Mafia officially began in January 2022 with one mission: to share their wealth of practical experiences in transforming their health through an active, animal-based lifestyle. Animal-based living emphasizes the elimination of processed foods and the consumption of whole natural foods. As the name suggests, most of these foods come from animal sources, from beef to honey. In their belief, locally sourced animal-based foods optimize personal and planetary health. In this episode, The Meat Mafia speak about their health issues and how eating a carnivore diet helped Brett reverse his ulcerative colitis and improved Harrison's inflammatory skin problems. Then, the guys jump straight into stigmas around eating an animal-based diet and how the health of our environment actually depends on regenerative agriculture and ruminating animals. Tune in as we chat about finding the best sources for your animal-based diet and what you need to know about buying meat from the grocery store.

Colitis is an autoimmune disease that affects your large intestine, which is your colon. You can't really process any food with ulcerative colitis. Doctors tell you that colitis is an incurable disease. After listening to Dr. Shawn Baker on Joe Rogan's podcast, Brett changed his life forever. Listen to the episode here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2auwtVto0sG7OcZ0hs3aOP?si=VF4iKaIcRvS_gar_nJrZ1g. Brett experimented with the carnivore diet, and he noticed all the bloating in his stomach was gone, his skin cleared up, and his energy improved. [15:10] A Keto Lifestyle Can Reduce Symptoms of Inflammatory Skin Problems Harrison's first interaction with the healthcare system was from skin problems. His cystic acne had everything to do with his terrible diet. Ultimately, Harrison got on Accutane. Harrison tried the paleo diet during his first year of college, and his athletic training and energy levels improved. After trying keto, Harrison lost ten pounds in a matter of weeks. [29:10] The Health Grasslands and The Health of Ruminate Animals Are Interconnected There are still stigmas around red meat being a staple of healthy nutritional diets. Also, people don't discuss animals' role in restoring soil quality. Anti-meat people will gravitate toward the harmful practices of agriculture. However, there are ways to raise animals that improve the soil. The Meat Mafia likes to go to farms and learn stories about practicing regenerative agriculture. Check out Roam Ranch as an example: http://roamranch.com/ [34:20] Find A Local Farmer's Market To Support The Best System Possible Here are some resources to check out about local food sources: Wild Food Sources: https://www.wildfoods.co/ Shire: https://shireapp.io/ Beef Initiative Food Intelligence Summit: https://beefinitiative.com/ Find a farmer's market in your area and ask if they utilize regenerative practices. When you support local farmers, you're supporting the right system, and you can nourish your family with the best quality protein possible. [40:55] Health Is Not An Expense; Health Is An Investment If you can't afford meat from a local farmer, you can still eat the meat at a grocery store. Always do what is best for you and your budget. Eating stuff in the grocery store's outer aisle will make you healthier than 99% of the population. However, supporting local farms is healthier for the supply chain and you. When you nourish the body with the proper nutrients, it will be an investment in your health. [43:05] What To Know About Shopping For Meat In The Grocery Store You need your beef to be pasture raised and 100% grass-fed. When you look at chicken and pork, they are fed corn and soy diets. If possible, steer towards a beef-based diet. Also, make sure your eggs are pasture-raised. Be careful about the marketing tricks that companies use. They could write “vegetarian fed.” In reality, that means they are being fed corn and soy. AND MUCH MORE!

Join us for the global regenerative awakening as we explore the best path forward when considering people and the planet. This episode will ground you to the potential abundance of Mother Nature and provide a hopeful outline as we consider the challenges of our current global civilization.

On this week's Where Hope Grows we return to another episode within our recurring series that we lovingly refer to as "Ranch Stories". Consistent with all these episodes, Katie and I reflect on seemingly "larger than life stories" that have shaped our perspective on ranching and farming. In today's episode we honor and celebrate the many "mistakes" that ranchers/farmers make and explore the blessing in disguise of wonderful "learning opportunities". It is only through failure that we can prevail, and like Mother Nature, the best path forward is often to self-organize and pivot when necessary.  Loaded with wisdom and insight that will make you a better and more productive human, this episode might even inspire you to move out to an agricultural community and start co-creating with nature. Enjoy! Collins, ROAM Ranch, @roamranch

We heard Kate speak at the What Good Shall I Do Conference out at Roam Ranch and have had a total intellectual crush on her ever since.    In this episode, we discuss why death is an essential part of the life cycle and how there is no such thing as a deathless diet. Kate describes in beautiful detail why we literally are what we eat and connects the dots between the microorganisms and minerals in our soil, the amino acids in meat, and the way that these nourish our bodies and connect us to a world much greater than ourselves.    About Kate Kavanaugh: Kate Kavanaugh is a farmer, butcher, nutrition therapist, and host of the Mind, Body, and Soil Podcast. She saw first hand the power of meat to heal her own body and in seeking out farmers and ranchers raising meat with holistic practices, she found the power of meat to heal land, too. In 2013, she opened Western Daughters Butcher Shop in Denver, Colorado. Kate is now host of the Mind, Body, and Soil podcast where she is devoted to digging in deep with guests, finding the threads of what it means to be humans woven into this earth.

On this week's iteration of Where Hope Grows, we find ourselves exploring how we arrived at a place of outsourcing our participation in the basic needs for survival with the promise of freedom. But in the recent wakes of COVID, war in Ukraine, and domestic turmoil we see that those who have opted out of participation are the ones most enslaved by the very system that promised liberty. In a lived experience that is crafted in a way that only Joel Salatin can deliver, we find our way back to participating in the fundamental necessities of life! Get ready to reconnect your ecological umbilical to the things that matter most.

Katie Forrest, together with her husband Taylor Collins, is the founder of Epic Bar and one of the minds behind Force of Nature Meats and Roam Ranch in Fredericksburg, Texas. Katie herself is a force of nature as a business owner, mother, wife, rancher, and human. Together, we explore the perennial nature of hope and how we can think about modeling businesses after lessons we learn in nature. Spread throughout are messages from the land and from our children about learning to slow down and to listen and an exploration of hope. Towards the end, we cover the importance of ground meat to the food system and the important role of aggregators in the regenerative business ecosystem.

In this episode of Where Hope Grows we explore the possibility that plants, animals, and overarching ecosystems have the capacity to communicate in a way that better enables us to understand their innate desires and biological needs. Through the transmission of energy for the purpose of communication, we ask what information might exist and how do we arrive at a place to experience these wonders. This episode will ground you to earth as a co-creator and open your mind to a beautiful possibility that when we are in tune with nature, we are intune with ourselves.

We first met Kaely McDevitt in Fredericksburg, Texas, out at Roam Ranch, and within the first few minutes of talking it was clear that she presented a wealth of knowledge on women's health that we really wanted to tap into for our audience. We are currently experiencing some pretty startling numbers when it comes to both men's and women's fertility, and so much of it has to do with diet and lifestyle. In the last 70 years, women's fertility has decreased by 50%, and it's estimated that in vetro fertilization is supposed to double from 2018 to 2026 to a $36bn industry. The fertility crisis is truly a food and lifestyle crisis, and we dove deep into these topics with Kaely to learn more about what women can do in order to take back their fertility and hormone health. SPONSORS Sponsors The Carnivore Bar - 10% OFF - Delicious & convenient Pemmican Bar Holy Cow Beef - Regeneratively raised, grass-fed & grass-finished beef from Texas Optimal Carnivore - 10% OFF - Replace your daily vitamin with on the road, easy nutrition Perennial Pastures - 10% OFF - Regeneratively raised, grass-fed & grass-finished beef from California & Montana Affiliates LMNT - Electrolyte salts to supplement minerals on low-carb diet Heart & Soil - CODE ‘MEATMAFIA10' for 10% OFF - enhanced nutrition to replace daily vitamins!

Austin Dillon owns and operates his farm Counter Culture Farms in Nacogdoches, Texas. We first came across Austin at the What Good Shall I Do conference at Roam Ranch, and his message stunned, not only us but everyone in the room. He had our attention. What we heard from Austin that day was a young man with conviction, purpose, and a mission. He spoke about the process of regenerating his land for the last 15 years, and the real difference between plant-based agriculture and animal-based agriculture. Austin then dove deep into the connection between death and life. He explained the process of handling & experiencing death, saying: "Death is so negative in our minds, but it's just another cultivator for life in nature". When he said this, the entire room stood still. What a perfect articulation of the beautiful balance between life and death. There is not one without the other. Once we heard, Austin speak at the What Good Shall I Do Conference in April, it was clear that we needed to get him on the show. It took us longer than we wanted to, but we went out to visit Austin at his property this past December. We recorded a show with him and toured his property and, man, he is even more impressive than we remembered!

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.

In the winter of 2022, I had the pleasure of visiting Roam Ranch to attend a Bison Harvest. On that day, I met Taylor and Katie, and quickly became intrigued by their story of what brought them to Fredericksburg, Texas, to start (of all things) a Bison Ranch. The story begins with Taylor and Katie competing as competitive vegan endurance athletes and evolves from there. Within a short period, Taylor and Katie ran into serious health concerns and, based on a recommendation from a doctor, started eating meat. Their health troubles quickly went away, but new problems presented themselves. The couple had grown so aligned with their vegan identity they had started a successful vegan food company. If their community heard the news of them switching to eating meat, they'd be crushed. Taylor and Katie knew what they needed to do and the rest, as they say, is history.Here's what we covered in this episode:Converting from a vegan to an animal-based dietDeciding to sell to General Mills and start Force of NatureCreating a food system for optimal human and planet healthBuilding a legacy of land stewardship by sharing the message of regenerative agricultureLaunching his new podcast at Force of Nature called “Where Hope Grows”SPONSORS:Optimal Carnivore: Use the code "MEATMAFIA" to save 10% on all productsLiver is hard to come by and the quality, taste, and convenience make it challenging for most people to source properly.

Imagine a healthy ecosystem where there's everything from your livestock, to the ground-nesting birds to the field mice, the snakes, the insects, and the life within the soil. With regenerative agriculture, it serves all those communities in a way that creates a net positive return. But what is regenerative agriculture and how does it positively impact our health and the environment?  In today's episode, we welcome Taylor Collins, co-founder of Epic Provisions, the world's first 100% grass-fed meat, fruit, and nut bar. About a year after Taylor, and his wife, sold Epic Provisions to General Mills in 2016, they purchased Roam Ranch, a 900-acre land in central Texas. There they continually raise their 100% grass-fed livestock – in an environment where animals have the ability to roam freely.  Taylor explains how they bought the land at its worst condition and used animal impact to restore and return it to its previous biological potential – a clear testament of Mother Nature's capacity for forgiveness, which is greater than our own species' capacity for destruction. Taylor and Katie are also active in helping grow regenerative supply chains at their new parent company Force of Nature. Today, we talk about regenerative agriculture and our hope for the future of this planet because of regenerative agriculture, and because of the work of people like Taylor and his wife, Katie.  In this episode, you will hear: The benefits of regenerative agriculture and what the system looks like The time and work it took to build Roam Ranch The connection between our own health and the health of the land The consistent reuse of soil in regenerative agriculture practice The principles of regenerative agriculture Why there's no such thing as plant-based regenerative systems Why becoming vegan is the worst thing you can do if you really care about animals Subscribe and Review Have you subscribed to our podcast?

Today, I am blessed to have here with me The Meat Mafia. The Meat Mafia officially began in January 2022 with one mission: to share their wealth of practical experiences in transforming their health through an active, animal-based lifestyle. Animal-based living emphasizes the elimination of processed foods and the consumption of whole natural foods. As the name suggests, most of these foods come from animal sources, from beef to honey. In their belief, locally sourced animal-based foods optimize personal and planetary health. In this episode, The Meat Mafia speak about their health issues and how eating a carnivore diet helped Brett reverse his ulcerative colitis and improved Harrison's inflammatory skin problems. Then, the guys jump straight into stigmas around eating an animal-based diet and how the health of our environment actually depends on regenerative agriculture and ruminating animals. Tune in as we chat about finding the best sources for your animal-based diet and what you need to know about buying meat from the grocery store.

Colitis is an autoimmune disease that affects your large intestine, which is your colon. You can't really process any food with ulcerative colitis. Doctors tell you that colitis is an incurable disease. After listening to Dr. Shawn Baker on Joe Rogan's podcast, Brett changed his life forever. Listen to the episode here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2auwtVto0sG7OcZ0hs3aOP?si=VF4iKaIcRvS_gar_nJrZ1g. Brett experimented with the carnivore diet, and he noticed all the bloating in his stomach was gone, his skin cleared up, and his energy improved. [15:10] A Keto Lifestyle Can Reduce Symptoms of Inflammatory Skin Problems Harrison's first interaction with the healthcare system was from skin problems. His cystic acne had everything to do with his terrible diet. Ultimately, Harrison got on Accutane. Harrison tried the paleo diet during his first year of college, and his athletic training and energy levels improved. After trying keto, Harrison lost ten pounds in a matter of weeks. [29:10] The Health Grasslands and The Health of Ruminate Animals Are Interconnected There are still stigmas around red meat being a staple of healthy nutritional diets. Also, people don't discuss animals' role in restoring soil quality. Anti-meat people will gravitate toward the harmful practices of agriculture. However, there are ways to raise animals that improve the soil. The Meat Mafia likes to go to farms and learn stories about practicing regenerative agriculture. Check out Roam Ranch as an example: http://roamranch.com/ [34:20] Find A Local Farmer's Market To Support The Best System Possible Here are some resources to check out about local food sources: Wild Food Sources: https://www.wildfoods.co/ Shire: https://shireapp.io/ Beef Initiative Food Intelligence Summit: https://beefinitiative.com/ Find a farmer's market in your area and ask if they utilize regenerative practices. When you support local farmers, you're supporting the right system, and you can nourish your family with the best quality protein possible. [40:55] Health Is Not An Expense; Health Is An Investment If you can't afford meat from a local farmer, you can still eat the meat at a grocery store. Always do what is best for you and your budget. Eating stuff in the grocery store's outer aisle will make you healthier than 99% of the population. However, supporting local farms is healthier for the supply chain and you. When you nourish the body with the proper nutrients, it will be an investment in your health. [43:05] What To Know About Shopping For Meat In The Grocery Store You need your beef to be pasture raised and 100% grass-fed. When you look at chicken and pork, they are fed corn and soy diets. If possible, steer towards a beef-based diet. Also, make sure your eggs are pasture-raised. Be careful about the marketing tricks that companies use. They could write “vegetarian fed.” In reality, that means they are being fed corn and soy. AND MUCH MORE!

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 talk about arrowhead hunting, how to cope with a 100 bison vision quest, as well how animals on our ranch receive a name. These stories serve as reminders of the deeper wisdom and important lessons bestowed upon us in our journey through regenerative agriculture. This podcast is made possible by the support of Force of Nature. Learn more about ROAM Ranch.

Consumers are eating exactly what they're told, how they're told, where they're told, not asking questions and just showing up to the register, voting and supporting a system that actually is continuing to ensure and perpetuate that they will eat unhealthy food. We're going to do our part at Roam Ranch and Force of Nature which is to fix the broken food system but we need help. - Robby Sansom + Taylor Collins Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Use code "JOSH" for 10% off your first order Force of Nature is on a mission to improve our environment and health through regenerative agriculture while answering the community's call for food raised in a way that truly aligns with their values. The term “regenerative” means that the agriculture systems in which this food was raised honor the systems within Mother Nature. We care for the soil, respect diversity in plants and animals on the land, and focus on natural outcomes versus synthetic inputs. That means no tilling, no synthetic chemicals, no hormones or antibiotics, and beautiful, wide-open spaces. The result is what you expect. Disrupting the Big Food Industry We spent the last decade studying regenerative agriculture at ranches all over the world before we answered the community's call to launch Force of Nature. Never before has a company founded on the principles of regenerative agriculture, curated a vast collection of land stewards, ranchers, and farmers who are committed to creating a positive return on the planet. Our mission is to accelerate the creation of a global regenerative supply network, to justify our supplier partners' efforts on the land, and to offer consumers the awareness and the ability to vote for a system that aligns with their values. By reclaiming the legacy of meat, we will benefit all stakeholders of the planet and restore regenerative principles to their rightful place as the keystone to our agricultural system. Regenerative Farming is Better Meat that is more delicious and nutritious than anything else you can buy, including organic and traditional grass fed. Animals that are raised with honor in their respected natural environments, eating foods they are supposed to eat. A quality of life for ranchers and their communities that has been lacking for decades in the conventional system. A proven solution to our climate challenges with the power to sequester carbon and prevent many of the environmental disasters we face today.

Our indirect participation in animal agriculture and the importance of voting with our wallet. How to end an animal's life in the most humane way possible and how that energy becomes absorbed by the meat compared to CAFOs. The bison harvest experience that Josh experienced last year and why it was very special for Force of Nature. How we can honor the animals and how they've provided for us in our everyday actions and lifestyles. These Founders Sold Their Food Company for a Reported $100 Million. All They Had to Do Was Survive a Long Series of Business Disasters [14:20] CAFO: The Harmful Animal Practice vs Force of Nature 179 Josh Tickell: Kiss The Ground 352 Zach Bush MD: Saving The Soil, Saving Humanity The difference between eating CAFO meat and that from regenerative ranching brands such as Force of Nature. How Force of Nature's mission is in alignment to act as stewards of the land and honor these animals. CAFO's negative impact on not only animals but also communities as it focuses more on agro-business than it does on agriculture. Earl Butz The dark history of the agriculture industry and the moment it shifted with the USDA during the mid-1900s. Conscious Capitalism by John Mackey and Rajendra Sisodia Their experience of several companies coming to them and wanting to purchase EPIC Provisions for all the wrong reasons.

Fertility issues that are becoming more and more evident due to the pollution in our environment. Why eating meat or poultry doesn't actually cost more money: breaking down the difference between perceived and real costs. The devastating impact of polluting and poisoning our natural resources and the cost of that on our future as we witness more scarcity and less stability. Breaking down the impact of Bill Gates becoming the largest private farmland owner in the USA. The real costs of eating low-cost junk and CAFO food compared to the natural regenerative and healthy products that our bodies actually crave and need. Why each of us has the responsibility to choose how we spend our money and whether or not we want to consciously live a healthier lifestyle. [43:20] Omnivorous Truth: Bill Gates + Synthetic Meat The fact that Bill Gates recently became the largest private farmland owner in the United States. The constant flow of money from both the left and right sides to keep Big Food doing what they're doing. Why it's so vital for consumers to become independent thinkers and stop the myths and lies they've been told to about food. Bill and Melinda Gates' divorce puts massive farmland holdings in focus The biggest lies that people are being told about food and the real cost of what they're buying from big brands. Bill Gates is the biggest private owner of farmland in the United States. Why? The truth about influencers like the Kardashians and the fact that they are being paid millions of dollars to promote fake meat to their audience. Bill Gates' purchase of North Dakota farmland has locals ‘livid': official Honest statistics that only 1% of the American population has actually gone to a farm directly to purchase their produce and/or meat. The dark side of the plant-based focused food industry. Unpacking the devastating impact of tilling farmland for canola, soy, and other industrial crops for animals such as baby deer, birds, snakes, and more. [51:30] Healing with Regenerative Ranching The Life Cycle assessment they did on the cradle to grave carbon cycle impact in regenerative agriculture.

The deep emotional distress that many farmers are going through that even some have committed suicide because of the impact of private owners like Bill Gates buying their farmland. Force of Nature's mission to grow an abundance of hope for farmers and replace the current vicious cycle with a more virtuous one. The fact that the number of American farmers committing suicide is higher than veterans who return from war. How people can get started supporting local farmers and regenerative ranching today. [1:00:00] The Detrimental Effects of Veganism 349 Ronnie Landis | Rethinking Veganism: The 10 Year Journey Back Home The detrimental effects of veganism, as experienced firsthand by Taylor and his wife, who experienced numerous health issues before adding meat back into her diet. Why they previously thought a raw food diet and juices were going to help them heal but their health actually became worse as time went on. The different products they currently sell at Force of Nature and why beef sticks or meat snacks are not in their plans for the present and near future.

What they're most excited about with this new awakening post-COVID for farmers and communities. How to live life well according to Taylor and Robby. Upcoming events at Force of Nature and Roam to help connect people. Power Quotes From The Show Omnivorous Truth: Starving with Our Bellings Full "As a culture, as a species, we are starving with our bellies full. We are seeing plummeting fertility rates, chronic diseases, obesity, and children are dying. That is why we should all be caring and having this conversation that looks directly back at our food and the land on which everything is dependent upon." - Taylor Collins Revealing Food Industry Lies "Big Food, Big Agriculture, Big Oil, Big Chemical, and Big Pharma are all tied together in our food system and they support the left side party, the right side party, and all that flow of money says, 'Don't mess up this machine.' If you look at what's going on with social media and the internet as they try to censor conversations, we need consumers to break out of their mold and become independent thinkers to stop allowing themselves to perpetuate the myths and the lies that they have been fed for years and to look at what's really happening in the food industry. A value meal at Chic-fil-A is more expensive than buying regenerative protein and whole vegetables to make a meal together as a family." - Robby Sansom Healing with Regenerative Ranching "If my wife was still vegan today she would either be dead or in a wheelchair. We ditched the vegan diet and began to eat in an evolutionary consistent manner. Within days, years of symptoms we had just went away." - Taylor Collins Links From Today's Show  Taylor Collins Robby Sansom Where Hope Grows Podcast EPIC Provisions: How This Husband + Wife Went From Being Vegan To Starting A Meat-Based Snack Brand These Founders Sold Their Food Company for a Reported $100 Million.

Started by first generation farmers, Katie and Taylor's journey into ranching was based on a vision to positively impact large-scale agriculture through producing nourishing food that improves the lives of animals, enriches the health of consumers, and regenerates the land on which we depend. Like much of the world, this once-fertile region has been industrially farmed for the past 100 years. Through persistent tilling of soil, planting of monoculture row crops, and overgrazing, ROAM Ranch was not capable of producing food upon its purchase. Land in this condition is often deemed "unsalvageable" and in many circumstances further degenerates with rest- but we are going to prove otherwise. Force of Nature Meats partners with regenerative ranchers to bring you the best meat on the planet, for the planet.  With the intention to accelerate the creation of a global regenerative supply network. Never before has a company founded in the principles of regenerative agriculture curated a vast collection of land stewards, ranchers, and farmers who are committed to creating a positive return on the planet. Force of Nature now exists to give consumers the ability to vote for environmental regeneration by consuming meat that is actually good for the planet.

On this wild edition of Where Hope Grows, we look into the complex and often misunderstood story of feral pigs in the United States. Often regarded as destructive invasive species, droves of wild hogs are causing massive ecological degradation at an unfathomable scale. What if the solution to this problem was well within reach? What if we changed our perspectives and turned this destructive force into a healing and nourishing energy? What if we voted with our forks and knives? This is Where Hope Grows.

On this inspiring episode of Where Hope Grows we travel to the famous Bamberger Ranch Preserve to explore the gift of water. Over 50 years ago this landscape was a degraded cedar monoculture with a shattered water cycle. Through a seemingly impossible vision of restoring this landscape, a first generation land steward named J David Bamberger looked into Mother Nature for wisdom, guidance, and grace. What happened next was beyond his wildest dreams and lead towards reshaping conservation practices in much of the Southwest United States. This story is about hope, nature's capacity for forgiveness, and about creating water from stone. This podcast is made possible by the support of Force of Nature. Learn more about ROAM Ranch.

On the debut episode of Where Hope Grows, we tell the story of a bison field harvest on the regenerating pastures of ROAM Ranch. Amongst community, we walk through what it means to honor an animal as well as how to connect with ourselves, the land, and the bison who will feed our families. This story is about compassion, relationship, and gratitude for the animals who sustain our lives. This podcast is made possible by the support of Force of Nature. Learn more about ROAM Ranch.

Join Morgan this week as she sits down to talk regenerative farming with Robby Sansom & Taylor Collins, the founders of Roam Ranch and Force of Nature. Collins and Sansom met in middle school and reunited as adults to start their first entrepreneurial venture with Epic Provisions. After selling Epic in 2019, the pair dove into regenerative farming, developing Roam Ranch and Force of Nature.  Collins and Sansom discuss the important role biodiversity plays in an agricultural setting and the power of working with wildlife instead of against it. They discuss how the soil impacts their products, how meat quality can change with regenerative farming versus conventional farming, and the importance of reintroducing bison to its natural habitat in the Americas and their impact on biodiversity.

If you've read anything about regenerative agriculture then you more than likely came across how Roam Ranch is walking the talk in Fredericksburg, Texas. Roam Ranch is a multispecies ranch that practices regenerative farming to raise healthier animals, help restore the ecosystem, heal the soil, and nourish local communities. In this episode Taylor gave us the background on how he and his wife (Katie) founded the ranch and how they are teaming up with other like minded ranchers from around the U.S. to make a positive impact on the climate, while providing the best sourced meat money can buy.

I can't believe spring is here and how incredible this weather has been. Everything is starting to bloom, and it's just gorgeous. Speaking of seasons, I have been looking forward to sharing this interview with Marshall Seedorff since visiting with him in the fall. Marshall is the VP of Sales for Force of Nature, which is a regenerative focused meat company that works with different farms and ranches to provide nutrient-rich food that not only feeds consumers but the environment as well. I was lucky enough to meet with Marshall at Roam Ranch, which is actually owned by two of the three co-founders of Force of Nature, Taylor and Katie. They specialize in raising grass fed and free range bison, turkey, chicken and ducks year round. It was incredible to see and photograph the bison herd and learn all about their regenerative practices. And all I have to say is if you aren't hungry now before listening to this episode, you will most likely be craving a bison burger after. And if you are hungry now, well good luck to you.

Taylor Collins has an awesome story of building a national food brand from scratch, selling and then starting a regenerative ranch from scratch in Texas along with his wife Katie. He shares a ton of value that should get anybody excited about the potential of raising food regeneratively, and the potential we have to impact our lands and soils!

Taylor Collins owns ROAM Ranch in Fredericksburg, TX, with his wife Katie Forrest. After selling their company, Epic Provisions, to General Mills in 2016, Taylor and Katie purchased 900 acres of degraded agricultural land in the Texas hill country with the goal of soil regeneration. ROAM is now a thriving multispecies regenerative ranch with over 120 American bison as well as chickens, ducks, turkeys, and geese. Taylor and I discussed their business model, the impetus for starting the ranch, the choice to use bison, and the ranch's hunting program, to name a few things. The ranch offers various learning opportunities and workshops based on regenerative practices for those interested. Check out Roamranch.com to learn more!

Big episode this week! We've got Brad Neathery and Tyler Sharpe from Modern Huntsman, and for INSIDE EPIC, we'll share EPIC's newest product launch with you and tell you how you can be among the first to try some! First up, with their publication Modern Hunstman, Brad and Tyler are working to change the image of hunters we're accustomed to and raise awareness about the role the hunting community plays in conservation, land stewardship, and animal welfare.  As someone who didn't grow up hunting, and can count all my hunting experiences on a single hand, I truly believe this episode will be just as interesting for the non-hunter as it is for the seasoned hunter. Brad and Tyler share how they're challenging many of the common misconceptions about hunting, we discuss how the hunting community's response to the work they're doing, and they shed light on the role hunters play in conservation and land management and what we can do to support them, whether or not we ever want to hunt ourselves.   As promised, for this week's INSIDE EPIC, we dive deep on our newest product, the EPIC Performance Bar!  There's a link below to read more about it in our show notes, but tune in here and hear from our co-founder Taylor, our guard dogs Carnage & Savage, and the chickens of Roam Ranch.  They'll explain why EPIC is so excited about this product launch, why you should be too, and answer some common questions we think yall may have!

MTV Celebrity Women's Health “Next Fitness Star” CrossFit Competitor/Coach Nutritional Therapist Thriving Entrepreneur The titles all describe, but cannot even begin to define this week's guest, Emily Schromm.  Imagine not being comfortable in your own skin and then having all those vulnerabilities aired on national TV for millions to see.  Many would, and have, crumbled after such an experience, but Emily used it to not just change her life, but change the lives of thousands of others.  She is now the owner of a booming coaching business, founded a tea company, getting ready to open a gym in Denver, and her recent Kickstarter was funded within hours of launching.   During today's conversation, Emily and I discuss... How a chance meeting at Starbucks led to MTV's The Real World and propelled her into her current journey The most common issues she sees as as nutritional therapy coach -- fat digestion, skin/gut issues, etc. Her go-to supplements to support her challenging lifestyle as an entrepreneur Launching the next evolution of her wildly successful Empack sandbag/backpack For this week's INSIDE EPIC, I preview EPIC's First Annual Impact Summit being held at Roam Ranch.  Lastly, I read a review from one of our listeners and explain how 5 of yall can win a meatcast shirt this week!

This week we talk to Jason Wachob, CEO and founder of MindBodyGreen, a wellness company with 10 million monthly visitors to its website.  We hear the term “wellness” often today, frequently in the context of physical health, but MindBodyGreen was an early pioneer in shaping wellness through the lens of physical, mental, and environmental health.  More importantly, they've had incredible success taking these ideas into the mainstream and “building a bigger church” vs. “preaching to the choir”. Walking that fine line is where EPIC sits now, so I was excited to talk to Jason and see what we could learn from MindBodyGreen's journey.  During our conversation, Jason and I touch on... How a college basketball player goes from selling organic cookies to launching one of the most popular websites on the internet The challenge of hosting diverse content for a variety of audiences (vegans, paleo, keto, intermittent fasting, etc) Why Jason decided to launch an invite-only conference where entertainers, educators, athletes, and authors have an opportunity to interact What are the wellness practices for the founder of a wellness company? For this week's INSIDE EPIC we talk to Steve Rosenzweig, a soil scientist recently hired by General Mills.  Wait, what? Why is a soil scientist working at General Mills? I had the same question! Steve and I recorded this interview when he came out to Roam Ranch in February as one of its first visitors.  We spent the day sharing the perch seat on a mule together, ducking tree branches and holding on for our lives. Tune in and hear what the heck a soil scientist is doing at General Mills. As always, we finish by sharing how you can win some meatcast swag and give you a fresh update on the battle between the Meatcast and my neighborhood pool.

Meatcasters! This week we head to the islands of Hawaii to chat with professional hunter Jake Muse.  While Jake does make his living hunting animals, its not for sport.  Jake and his teams are hired to help manage wild animal populations throughout Hawaii and during our conversation we discuss… How parts of Hawaii have become overrun by wild animal populations  Hunting for sport vs. hunting to survive The innovative techniques he and his team use to humanely hunt and harvest animals in the wild The Kahukinui Project, and how hunting thousands of animals  will save a community and restore their watersheds and forests.    If you're a fan of hunting, I think this episode will give you an incredible appreciation for what Jake and his team do and even if you're not a fan of hunting, I think our conversation will give you a fascinating glimpse into communities that are still doing it today out of necessity and survival. For this week's INSIDE EPIC we talk to Roam Ranch Manager, Zach Peoples. For those not familiar, Roam Ranch is a 450 acre property in Fredericksburg, TX that the EPIC founders purchased in 2017, with the dream of making it a regenerative farm where the mission and values of EPIC can come to life. Zach is responsible for shepherding that dream and has his own interesting story, of how a 26 year old who had never seen a Bison in his life, is now managing a regenerative farm with 70 bison! Finally, we want to get to know more about your Meatcasting habits, and we'll reward you for telling us!
