As an official sponsor of MMA athlete Bryce Mitchell, I was fortunate enough to visit his farm and do the podcast in person. Bryce, who fights in the featherweight division, is also a first-generation farmer. We dive into why he made that decision, his plans with the farm, and why he wants to help educate America and the world on agriculture.

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

I really enjoyed this conversation, especially since Chaz is also a former vegan. Chaz has a really interesting backstory leading up to starting Grassway Organics, dairy farm that has since expanded with pasture-raised chickens for eggs and meat, turkeys, and farrow hogs.
You will learn a lot about the raw dairy world in this podcast as Chaz explains his whole process to ensure the safety precautions are in place in order to provide this superfood!

It was great talking to Logan, a farmer in Saskatchewan, Canada. Saskatchewan has brutal weather, especially in the winter, it was interesting hearing his perspective from his upbringing, his passion in agriculture, attending one of the best agriculture universities in Canada, his experience working in ag retail and expanding on ag chemicals that folks use to spray crops, and him making the leap of faith starting his own farm starting with cattle. I really enjoyed this conversation as Logan has a great perspective on agriculture. He works day to day in the conventional side of agriculture while also trying to help educate on regenerative side of ag.

This one is very special to me. Being disconnected from food my whole life and not switching into agriculture until last year, I dove right in when I first discovered regenerative agriculture. That's when I quickly heard about Will Harris at White Oak Pastures, in Bluffton, Georgia. As a 6th generational farmer, Will was raised in the conventional model, which he continued to do once he took over.
In this episode he shares his experiences farming the conventional way, what led him to switch to grass-fed and finished beef (WholeFoods first ever grass-finished beef producer), and eventually switching from conventional farming to a more regenerative way. He has been a pioneer in this movement and it was an absolute honor hearing his story.
He has appeared on many other podcasts such as Joe Rogan (twice, highly recommend listening to both). His new book, A Bold Return to Giving a Damn was recently released, which I also highly recommend you read!

Amy Hay is the founder of Sell Beef Direct, which aims to help farmers and ranchers around the globe incorporate selling beef direct to consumer. Surprisingly, only 8% sell direct to consumer in America. She is also a first-generation rancher with her husband, Scott at Waikikahei Ranch in Canada.
I had a blast talking to her about leaving the city to start their ranch, along with helping educate so many folks online on marketing direct to consumer, which will only get bigger as time goes on. She has a wealth of knowledge to share!

Charles Mayfield is the founder of Farrow Skincare, products derived from lard. This was a great discussion on Charles' agriculture journey, switching into regenerative agriculture, all things pig, and the importance of proper skincare. I found this really interesting because tallow and butter are making a resurgence but we don't hear much about lard with its negative connotations. This may change your opinion on that and pigs overall.
