0:00.0	Welcome back to the podcast, everybody. Today's guest is the return of my brother, Daniel Firth Griffith.
0:05.4	I think this is podcast number four with Daniel. He has been a mentor of ours at the farm,
0:10.2	but his knowledge goes way beyond that, as I've spoken with him many times. He's a true Renaissance man,
0:16.5	not just in his intelligence, but in the breadth of his wisdom and how that stretches across so many different categories. It's really phenomenal. He's a poet, an author, a father. He understands
0:26.6	agriculture in ways most people that are leading in the field do not. He's worked with some of the
0:31.0	best in the world like Dr. Fred Prevenza and Alan Savory and just has so much to offer. He's also
0:36.4	worked with a lot of indigenous elders as of late
0:38.3	and really speaks to the wisdom in ways that are akin to hearing an indigenous elder speak. And I've

1:12.1	Daniel's doing some super cool shit, which we talked to in the end about some of the
1:16.6	events he's putting together.
1:17.7	And I feel in my heart of hearts that one of the biggest ways we can reconnect to nature.
1:23.3	And this goes for all the spiritual people out there that are wearing Aladdin pants and fucking going to Burning Man and having, you know, deep dive, explorative, you know, really exploring the cosmos.
1:35.2	How we ground that is in nature.
1:38.2	We bring it back home.
1:39.2	We bring it to our connection and our relationship with all things.
1:41.9	And what Daniel's putting together is exactly one of
1:44.8	the first ways in which I did this. It's one of the ways in which I honored what I ate. It's what I
