In this solo episode I pull back the curtain on one of the questions I get asked about more than almost anything else, our farm. Why did I buy it. What I've learned. How the cattle work. What it costs. How long the DA really took. And why our building business is the engine behind everything we've been able to create for our family. This isn't just a story about a farm. It's a story about what's possible when you build a great business, spend your money wisely and have the courage to think bigger than most people around you. If you've ever dreamed about owning land, producing your own food and creating a life that goes way beyond just running a building business — this one is for you.
