The Danny Miranda Podcast

Dr. Anthony Gustin is the founder of Zero Acre Farms, Perfect Keto & Equip Foods. He is also the host of The Natural State Podcast. In this conversation, Anthony helped break down why our food is poisoned, what he learned by spending 8 days in Tanzania, why taking a break from work didn’t solve his problems, why you should eat locally, and what he’s learned building his own farm. There are no ads on this podcast. So here’s my one ask: share the podcast. That’s how this grows. That’s how more people hear it.

And this conversation is unlike anything Michael has published publicly.  We spoke about generational differences, what it's like to raise children, why he's loving Spanish, why he lacked courage when he was younger, common mistakes people make in their 20s, replacing companies with religion, and much more. - Michael's Links Twitter: https://twitter.com/girdley Linktree: https://linktr.ee/girdley - Resources Mentioned • Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry into Values by Robert Pirsig – https://www.amazon.com/Zen-Art-Motorcycle-Maintenance-Inquiry/dp/0060589469 • Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind by Shunryu Suzuki – https://www.amazon.com/Zen-Mind-Beginners-50th-Anniversary/dp/1611808413 • Michael Girdley Thread on Effectuation: https://twitter.com/girdley/status/1517850790148263936 - SPONSOR: This episode is brought to you by My First Million.
