  • Fantastic show

    I read james’s book a couple of years ago during the Covid nonsense and I found it inspirational. I came across the podcast recently and I’ve been binge listening to all the episodes. Such an education thank you for sharing the knowledge and also your contacts. I absolutely love abundant minded people as a result. I’ve been inspired to buy my own farm and start farming for the first time.
