BenGreenfieldFitness.com/cows Allow me to introduce you to my friend Garrett Gunderson, the Founder of an Inc. 500 firm, author of the NY Times hit, Killing Sacred Cows and multiple WSJ bestselling books. Garrett Gunderson is called a "financial genius" in entrepreneurial circles, but he wasn't born with a silver spoon. In fact, Garrett's blue-collar roots are what make him so passionate about helping people live a life they love, on their own terms. Garrett comes from a 4th generation coal mining family, raised in rural Utah and his desire to help people is firmly rooted in this history because more often than not there is nothing more distressing for most people than money. So, after spending 20 years in the industry, his approach has shifted. He now takes what he knows best (Money) and has combined it with what he loves most (Comedy) into his new methodology, Win, Then Play. We all have the opportunity not only to WIN but to win bigger, more often and attain what we want. But to do that, we must let go of myths and embrace truth and self expression. If you’re ready to transform your life, finances and future, today’s guest will help you do just that. It’s time we all laugh at money’s expense for a change! You'll also hear about my upcoming STANDUP COMEDY gig in Austin, TX. Click or tap here for more info! During our discussion, you'll discover: -Is Garrett a comedian or wealth manager these days?... -Sacred cows in our society that beg to be disrupted... -Tipping the sacred cow of money equaling happiness... -The four persona's that show the disparity between the scarcity vs. abundance mentality... -The hard lessons that brought Garrett to his knees financially speaking... -The value of "protective" expenses... -How to leverage your life insurance policy to become your own bank... -What Garret means when he says, "Win, then play"... -An exclusive sneak peek into Garrett's newest comedy book...

BenGreenfieldFitness.com/foodasmedicine I first met Doug Wolkon when I was visiting Kauai and was convinced by big-wave surfer Laird Hamilton to go visit a favorite local farm of his called Kauai Farmacy. I was immediately blown away by the vast array of over 80 varieties of organic healing plants and food orchards… …along with a team of incredibly knowledgeable herbalists and gardeners; a closed-loop vermiculture feeding system (worm compost farm), honeybees, butterflies, and other pollinators; wildfowl; environmentally-compatible farming (water-catchments, permaculture guilds, and more); and medicine-making systems (solar-dehydrators, low-temperature herb-curing, herbal teas, tinctures, hydrosols, salves, honey, capsules, and more). Everything is done by hand at the Farmacy, including brewing homemade fertilizers from the plants they grow. They seed, propagate, plant, hand-harvest, artisanally-craft, and package all the herbal products they grow right on the farm. The fresh and pure nature of the herbs ensures high quality, potent, consistent, and effective plant medicine straight from the source. Since that visit two years ago, if you've been following me on Instagram and elsewhere, you've seen me using ample amounts of Kauai Farmacy powders and tinctures in my recipes, along with products such as their salves and hydrosols for joint and skin health. Rooted in the wisdom of Hawaiian La’au lapa’au, Ayurveda, Chinese medicine, and the tribal indigenous, the potent herbal plant medicines harvested from the rich, volcanic soil of Kauai just seem to have a very unique and special energy. After graduating from the University of Michigan, Doug pursued a ten-year career in private equity finance in Connecticut. Before moving his family to Hawaii in 2007, Doug published The New Game, an economic theory and strategy for sustainable communities. Doug co-founded Kauai Farmacy in 2010 with his wife Genna, and they currently live there with their three kids. The Farmacy is a seed-to-cup tropical herbal oasis spanning four acres and consisting of what may be the most diverse collection of plant medicine in the western hemisphere. After spending the last 10 years experiencing the power of fresh plant medicine for both himself and his family on a daily basis, Doug thrives on a high-fat, ketogenic, 100% raw-food diet. Doug believes Kauai Farmacy's vertically-integrated herbal medicine model is a budding example of what needs to be the future of a more sustainable, preventative-care-focused healthcare industry. You can click here to shop Kauai Farmacy, and use code GREENFIELD15 to save 15% on any products on their site, including those you'll discover below. During our discussion, you'll discover: -What brought Doug to Kauai ten years ago... -First days on the farm... -What you don't know about noni... -Honey made out of noni fruit... -What makes a spice "high grade"?... -Ways to hydrate and remineralize your body you may not have thought of before... -Ginger: the most popular plant medicine in history... -A potent yet gentle to fortify your skin... -How to create your own medicine farm Doug Wolkon style...
