  • Inspired the food forest company Bring Back Eden

    As a Lancaster, Pa boy who spent his whole life running to the big cities, Scott helped me to slow down, embrace my roots and dig into permaculture on a full time scale. That includes leaving Los Angeles to move to Florida and start the food forest company Bring Back Eden. Thank you Scott and guests for the invaluable information and insights on a selfless life worth living.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Q&A: Growing a Whole Nutrition Landscape
Q: What are your thoughts on how homestead sites can create a whole nutrition landscape with permaculture?
We need to re-evaluate garden areas devoted to different crops, emphasizing more on tubers and protein sources rather than just leafy greens.
Joshua Hughes - Regenerative Investing
Q: Is this providing jobs beyond just the farmers who you're working with?
Yes, we're creating diverse job opportunities including marketing and laboratory work.
Joshua Hughes - Regenerative Investing

Q: So if there's a hypothetical situation and someone's listening and they want to get more involved in this kind of impact investing or permaculture type of investing, what practical steps should they take?
I think looking into impact banking is a great starting point. Engaging in local investments and conversations in groups focused on socially responsible investing can also be beneficial.
Jeff Speck - Creating Walkable Cities
Q: For someone wanting to go into planning, what recommendations do you have?
