How Eating Insects Instead of Cows Can Save the Planet with Skye Blackburn

Ep. 659

Skye Blackburn farms thousands, if not millions of creatures every year.

But they’re not cows, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks fish, or anything else that’s enjoyed in a traditional western diet.

Skye and her company farm insects.

Delicious, nutrient dense, low fat, high-protein insects.

It’s a fascinating conversation and I can’t wait to share it with you.

  • The importance of creating a village around you, ft Gus Worland.

    01:13:22
    How many people are in your village?It might sound like a silly question - as not many of us live in villages anymore, yet for the vast majority of our evolution - we lived in communities that we depended on for support and care, and communities that depended on us. Community-driven purpose was baked into our way of living and as our brains and bodies evolved expecting these things.Without that support or purpose, things can get out of balance.Osher is joined by broadcaster and the founder of Gotcha4Life, Gus Worland. He has dedicated his career to helping people, mostly men - actively work on building that village. He never intended to do it, however when he got the call, Gus went all in.
