Sound bites

“I did it because I wanted to be on the side where I could help to teach people an easier way to survive our lives in a healthier manner.”
“I was barely even 20 and I was working with Dr. Earl Mindell and he had a radio show. He handed me my first microphone and I just never gave it back.”
“A lot of people now look at things saying, you know, when I want to go organic, I want to start putting some good things in my system, and I think the same thing you're going to start seeing with regenerative.”
“I think we need to takes supplement because there's things way past the soil that affect our health every day, including air quality, pollution, stress, lack of sleep, obesity, etc that are already wearing tearing on our health from top to bottom.”
“We were so focused on the not using chemicals, we did absolutely nothing for our soil. Now we have this regenerative movement where we are actually doing things to rebuild the soil.”
"Don't be embarrassed. Embrace your craziness. Embrace your mistakes because there is no such thing as perfection."
