And I personally feel, like, very alive.
Like, I think...
You look at, if you think back over the last week, and I don't know what this is for you, but you think back over the last week, maybe even the last month or the last day, like when you were in like a flow state, when you felt most alive, like that's your medicine.
Like that's like you in your essence.
But so I try to also like put myself in those situations as much as possible and make sure to like bring that into my life.
Thank you.
I mean, this is truly like a mission-driven passion and pursuit of mine.
And I think I told you before that there's nothing better than...
being obvious by being contrarian.
And that's sort of how Planet Harvest was born.
I saw through the COVID pandemic.
I got really close to the farmers because I created this farmer-to-family food box program that created grants that would enable farmers to sell their perishable produce to third parties, distributors, NGOs, churches, who would then get it to the last mile of needs, ensuring that when people needed food,
The food in the fields wasn't going to waste by being tilled under, as we saw in the early days of the pandemic.
You know, the supply chain shut down.
So the restaurants were closed, the airlines, the hotels.
So the farmers had no place to send their food and couldn't afford to take it out of the fields.
So we created a grant program to enable that connection.
But it really got me very close at a farm level to the farmer and their experience.
And obviously that was...
catastrophic time when there was just zero demand.
