  • witnessing at an early age how willing people are to side with, or not stand up to bullies because of their insecurities
  • starting to play music when his family took a 10 month road trip across the country
  • the evolutions of his bands with his brothers and putting everything into “making it”
  • getting a record deal and it falling through
  • looking back what he would have done differently as a musician trying to support himself solely on music
  • how attending a lecture on soil changed the direction of his life
  • making a commitment to meet up weekly to talk about and explore ideas of how to spread the information on how we can reverse climate change with soil
  • the aha moment he had with a government official that led to him getting into policy work to make change in local government
  • seeing the need to have a bite sized engaging piece of information out to spread the word and how creating that put Kiss the Ground on the map internationally
  • how the documentary of Kiss the Ground came to be and all of the offerings they now have to spread the word, give scholarships to farmers and more
