The Ranch Podcast

Jim Zamzow is the third generation owner of Zamzows Lawn, Garden, & Pet stores. He is also an international soil consultant focused on helping create healthy, sustainable alternatives to industrial farming practices that have come to dominate our agriculture industry and destroy our soil. This is a topic that has started to trickle into the public conversation with concerns about our top soil being depleted and our fertile earth dying. Jim, very thankfully, offered me reason to be hopeful. Enjoy!The Ranch Podcast is the premier source for long format interviews and information in Eagle and the Treasure Valley of Idaho.

Robert Imhoff is a technology expert and has been dealing with social media companies since their inception. He has personally experienced and helped expose scams and risks for almost two decades, and his insights into what the social media companies do and do NOT want to know is very telling of whom and what our society is actually dealing with.

Jeremiah Grossman is a world authority on cyber security and industry leader in tech safety.
