Will Harris of White Oak Pastures - How to think about Food Systems Differently - Episode 87

This week I sit down with the amazing Will Harris from White Oak Pastures. Will is a pioneer in the Regenerative Farming movement and has managed to build something very special in Blufton Georgia; a Carbon Negative Farm that produces some of the highest quality meat on the planet whilst treating the animals as humanely as possible. White Oak Pastures has not only managed to restore the land, but it has also managed to provide jobs and stimulate the economy in Blufton itself, and so restoring a once struggling community. We talk about what it means to be a true steward of the land, the problems with chemicals and industrial farming, the challenges a regenerative farm faces, and how we fix the environmental problems that we have created by interfering with the natural cycles of life. There is so much in this Podcast, I strongly encourage anyone that gives a damn to listen. Be educated, be aware, and be inspired. Huge thanks to Will for taking the time.

“The Life (and Death) of the Fitness Industry” - Episode 3

At Pharos Athletic Club, we believe the value of gym memberships are not tied to the costs, but what value it is offering to its members.Before we opened the doors to our own facility we noticed our friends and family owned multiple memberships around Los Angeles. They would do their yoga at one gym, their cycling at another and their CrossFit on the other side of town.Gym members want to know they can lift, they want to be able to do their cardio, they want to work on their movement, and they even want to use machines to strengthen underdeveloped muscles.So what we saw when we developed Pharos was an opportunity to put everything under one roof and make it more affordable. We believe in multiplicity. We believe there is a place for all these things. We don't have a dogma for first athletic club. It's not that is one way. It's that there are many ways and we all have our own.Welcome to the Pharos Athletic Club podcast.
