Show notes

Ryland Engelhart (IG: @lovebeingryland) is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of Kiss the Ground. He is also a co-creator of the award-winning, transformational documentary film, "May I Be Frank."

It's a full-length documentary narrated by Woody Harrelson that sheds light on an alternative approach to farming called "regenerative agriculture" that has the potential to balance our climate, replenish our vast water supplies, and feed the world.

In this episode, we discuss:

How soil is our common ground
The story of Cafe Gratitude
The business philosophy called Sacred Commerce
Growing up a child of hippy parents
Ryland's personal mission statement
The teachings of Waldorf education
The body is an ecosystem
