#50 Dan Miller and fan questions
For this week's episode, we are trying something a little different. CK hasn't been with us for several weeks, so we take a few minutes to catch up and then answer some listener and fan questions that I have sort of accumulated over the last few weeks.
If you have a question, or would like to suggest a guest or topic, check out the Linktree link below and send me a message.
In the second segment, Dan Miller joins me from his flat in London to talk about a question that most of us are afraid to ask out loud, mostly because we tend to pull out the black hat. "How can I afford to switch to regenerative ag"
I feel like Dan might have an answer for some of you.
