Have you ever thought about dropping your current vocation and selling your possessions to start fresh and start a farm? That notion certainly crossed the mind of our guest today! Joining us today is Mike “The Fit Farmer” Dickson, former natural bodybuilder and personal trainer turned farmer/homesteader. Mike and his wife Lacie sold almost everything they owned, left their 2600 sq ft house in the city, and started a new life in a 700 sq ft YURT in the country. They (and their three children) run a market garden on their homestead in North Carolina. Mike and Lacie are both passionate about living a healthy sustainable lifestyle, not just in taking care of the Earth, but also by sustaining their bodies with healthful foods, and sustaining their relationships with each other. As a mixed race farmer, Mike has a view on racism that contradicts the narrative currently being pushed by the media - Unity over divisiveness - a view he feels more people need to embrace. Join us as we discuss that as well as how Mike runs his farm, Youtube channel, and all aspects of his operation!    You’ll hear: Where Mike was and what he was doing before he became a farmer/homesteader 1:38 What Mike’s initial plans were for the property 7:32 About the main income streams from Mike’s farm right now 9:46 What a typical week on Mike’s farm looks like 10:55 What Mike offers in the CSA 15:12 How Mike’s reason/vision for his farm has changed 15:44 About the hardest thing Mike has done as a farmer 17:07 Who Mike’s mentors throughout his farming journey were 19:21 What systems Mike would put into place on his farm earlier given the opportunity to start over 20:32 How Mike divides roles on his farm 25:27 What kind of Youtube channel Mike runs 27:42 How Mike approaches the issue of racism 31:53 What went down with Mike’s trip to Polyface Farm 35:24 How society should better approach the issue of racism 43:54 The biggest mistake Mike sees newer farmers making 48:03 What advice would Mike give himself as a new farmer 52:42 Mike’s favorite farming tool 53:46 What Mike thinks about the prospect of starting a farm now 54:34 Where you can learn more about Mike, his work, and his farm 56:14   About the Guest: Known on YouTube as the Fit Farmer, Mike is a former professional natural (drug free) bodybuilder, personal fitness trainer, and nutritional coach turned farmer/homesteader. When he and his wife Lacie discovered the sad truth about our modern food system, they were inspired to begin growing food for themselves and their children right where they lived in the city. Mike explained that prior to this “I had never grown anything in my life, and when I grew something from seed to harvest it felt so empowering and I just wanted to grow more and more”. Yet as their aspirations for growing more continued they were faced with city ordinances that hindered their urban homesteading goals. So this is when they decided to leave the city. Next they sold their house, furniture and all their possessions, bought a yurt and moved to the country to start a homestead. Today, years later, their homestead produces food for their family and many of the farm customers they serve. Follow along with Mike and his family’s adventures on YouTube, where they strive to inspire, and educate others about living a healthy more connected lifestyle.

Registration is more at the moment.""We had to redesign programs and make sure they are super engaging because, obviously, everybody's there at home or in their facility.""People have been loving it (online events) because they don't have to travel anywhere. They could do it from the convenience of their own place, but it also just creates another dynamic environment.""We could provide more context and framing for each person in the session which is why I think people are really enjoying it."Are more people asking questions than they would in the live, face-to-face sessions? What has been the biggest challenge in the business since Covid-19?"Everything needs to be reworked.

Mike Giannulis (Gee-uh-NEW-liss – kind of like “Gee, a new list” because after all, he's in marketing!) has overcome the odds and loves to share that story to inspire others. Mike especially thrives on connecting with entrepreneurs to motivate them to “do big things” in the world. Mike's story begins in an average family where he had to work for everything he had. He started “at the bottom” and worked his way into the American Dream. In fact, Mike dropped out of high school, went back to get his degree and even went to college… ending up on a popular reality TV show. As a guy who started his working life stocking shelves on the overnight shift at a giant retailer, Mike has seen the spectrum. Now, Mike grows and scales companies, using real-world experience to make this happen. His most recent company is on track to do $25 million in gross revenues. He is a serial entrepreneur who develops systems to help other entrepreneurs run multiple companies without having to be there. In 2012 Mike appeared on the ABC television show Extreme Weight Loss, losing 255 pounds. He has overcome a stutter. He has gone from the bottom of the corporate ladder to the top of the mountain…and he loves helping others do the same. What you'll learn about in this episode: How Mike started his career as a consultant and by learning to write copy, before ultimately becoming an expert in growing and scaling companies How Mike works in Shopify, is now moving into real estate, and has begun acquiring other companies across multiple industries What early things to keep in mind if you're wanting to grow and scale your business, and why your audience and product must support your scaling Why Mike believes that most people choose products and make purchases due to one of three things: greed, vanity or lust Why it is important to work within the channels you have access to, and why scaling isn't always an option How to get a free copy of and use Mike's “How to Obliterate the Blank Page” PDF to determine who your audience is and what they want How Mike's website can help you pursue over 20 different real estate channels, and how everything integrates into his custom real estate CRM What major stumbling blocks and opportunities Mike has had throughout his career, including starting a goat dairy farm as a teenager What daily activities Mike uses to stay focused, productive, and maximize his success each day Who Mike's favorite mentor in his life has been, and why having the right mentors has been critical to Mike's success Additional resources: Website: www.onlyonemike.com/smart Website: www.myrealestatebusiness.com

(See www.SoTHISIsFitness.com/podcast33 for extended show notes/blog) Who says it couldn't be you? Some people are out there doing some pretty amazing things... and often I find they simply fell into it by accident. No grand designs of fame, fortune, and conquering. Simply... "I want to run Boston"... or... "I'd like to stay fit in the off-season". And then, before you know it... you're crushing several 100 mile ultramarathons in a year and setting world records running marathons in 7 continents... at 42 years old... like Mike Wardian.  Age is just a number... and "I Can't" is an attitude, not a fact.   I can't stress... not today, not ever... how critical it is that you have a little faith in yourself and believe you can do it. That's what Mike did, and it's what he does every day. Now - plenty of people out there know WHO Mike is and what he's done. What most people DON'T know... is how this incredible running machine was created. On episode 33 of the podcast... we have a great conversation and talk about exactly that. And who woulda thought... it all started with lacrosse.  For the extended show notes and blog, check out www.SoTHISIsFitness.com What's in this episode: Darrell is legit!

In this listener mail episode (really more of a listener mail, Facebook, Twitter, and politicsguys.com site comment episode) Mike and Jay respond to listener comments concerning: * Why Republicans like Jay aren't nearly as respectful of facts as Democrats are (Jay disagrees, as you might expect)  * Why The Politics Guys isn't more diverse, and whether or not the lack of a liberal further to the left of Mike is a problem.  * How Jay's Burkean ideals match up to the modern-day GOP. (And Mike points out that he's got Burkean ideals too!)  * Who Mike and Jay think might run for president in 2020  During this episode, Mike waxed rhapsodical about the amazing economic data site put together by the St. Louis branch of the Federal Reserve - [here's the link](https://fred.stlouisfed.org/).  **Listener support helps make The Politics Guys possible**.
