Am I, am I allowed to, you're great. Um, and, uh, and so I, so I was like, if I find out that they're evil, I'm going to go do that. And then that's actually one of the pivotal moments of my life because this thing that I thought, I thought I was going to get to run around and uncover something. And what I uncovered was, Hey, all this stuff that you thought you knew, uh,

you were wrong about and what does that change in your whole world view if you if you thought like well modern ag everybody kind of already knows that's bad and that they do these terrible things and you have that flipped on its head now all of a sudden everything that you thought you knew you're open to looking at and it made me a much much more open person made you an open okay so you thought you were going to have get paid to basically go in and unearth

Yeah. I mean, I thought they were insane. Yeah, I thought they were totally insane for hiring me. It was actually a really brilliant move. Because then when I went out to do stuff, I was not interested in doing the PR-ish things, right? We had a PR firm that was like Vance. We're so glad you're here. We've been waiting. We have a budget for you.

And now what we want you to do with this budget is you get to choose. Should we sponsor this conference or this one or this group of college kids? And then we'll get a banner and you can have five minutes on the stage. And I was like, look, If the world views you as North Korea, it doesn't matter how beautiful the beaches look on your billboards. Nobody's coming there.

So I gave them all the money back and said, I'm not going to spend any money on this. What I'm going to do instead is I'm going to say if there's a group out there that wants me to come talk to you. Then if you buy my plane ticket, I'll fly and go talk to any group that's out there.

And so I started getting invited to all kinds of places and talking to activists and talking to people that were scared. And this is what made a huge difference, that for the first time in their lives, Monsanto wasn't something they saw in a documentary. It was a person. It was a person. It was a person that had the same problems, the same questions that they did.

And I approached it with the feeling of, look, if you know something that I don't know about what they're doing, that's evil. I want to know, but let me tell you a bunch of the questions that I thought I had. They actually have pretty good answers for. So why don't I share with you what I know? And you tell me if you know something different.

And I got to travel all over the U S and Canada and Europe talking about it.
