A Second Helping with Benji Ballmer

I didn’t know I could say “WOW” this many times in one conversation.
JBoston grew up in Stuebenville, OH on the eastern edge of the state, about 33 miles from Pittsburgh.
The story takes off out of the gate with her mom getting stabbed 27 times right in front of her...WHEN SHE WAS 9!
From there we journey through her life...
-Doesn't graduate high school
-Get’s pregnant
-Get’s SHOT!
-Shoots a girl
-Has a baby
-30 days later is in PRISON!
-Saves a girls life in prison
-Get GED in prison
-Encounters GOD in prison
-Get’s out
-Immediately get’s pregnant AGAIN!
-Needs a job to survive and starts dancing as a stripper
-Enrolls in the Art Institute of Pittsburgh
-Graduates and NOW WHAT?!
-Starts Living Proof Chef Services
-Moves to Columbus, OH
-The Living Proof Experience is happening even in the midst of a pandemic
Ya’ll, these bullet points do NOT do this story justice. You are going to be captivated from the get go on this one.
To talk with Janese is to be ministered to in a way that only raw honesty and integrity can do.
Come with me to hear this story of not only surviving, but thriving as a mother, a chef, and a woman of God, that will no doubt continue to be a world changer.
Also, please book her for your next event!

No Creeks at Three Creeks

Kendyl and Andy run a tight ship at 3 Creeks Produce. Being PRACTICAL has enabled them to grow a 7-acre farm from just a dream to a fully functional food economy.

When we sat down, it was hot and dry. My wife and I had been given the tour and we let that “wow” factor of what we had seen propel us into this conversation.

We talk about these topics in this order:

  • What were the deciding factors in buying their farm?
  • What business model they use?
  • Farm layout and deciding what to grow
  • Challenges to growth as an operation
  • Whether some CAN be done vs. WHETHER it is sustainable as a human to do
  • Work/life balance
  • Farming with machines
  • The business side of growing food
  • Patience
  • Ethical Diet

And then kind of turn of topics to a sustainable future:

  • Consumption
  • Asking the hard questions
  • Seeking out local food
  • Human connection/community

undefined - Now I Know My CBD's

Now I Know My CBD's

Have you ever stood in the middle of 2000 cannabis plants? It smells pretty good.
I only had to travel 5 miles from YB headquarters to get to Jeff Gabric at Honey Bee Acres and his 1-acre plot of hemp. He is growing over 2000 plants that will be processed for the cannabinoid CBD and CBG.
In this conversation, you will hear about...
-The Ohio Hemp Farmers Cooperative
-Regulations and Requirements
-Difference between Hemp and Marijuana
-Benefits of CBD
-History of Hemp
-Farming Specialty Crops
-The full process of seed to harvest and how to bring a crop in with so much regulation
-USDA research
-Why big Pharma is not researching (hint: there’s no money in it!)
I have loosely been following the legalization of hemp and marijuana over the last decade and I can tell you this...it’s a beautiful plant that I think has the potential to do a lot of good for a lot of people.
ENJOY!
