Ep. 39 Cari and Seth Reed, Remington Ranch Regenerative Farm
#39 Cari and Seth Reed are the wife and husband team behind Remington Ranch, a regenerative farm located 30 minutes outside of Lynchburg in Gladys, Virginia.Regenerative farming is a term that basically means working in harmony with Mother Nature instead of against her. The chickens, pigs, turkeys, and lambs are humanely raised without chemicals or GMOs. These animals also enjoy the grasslands and forests on Reed's gorgeous 45-acre property. The result is clean, healthy, super nutritious food that also creates rich, fertile soil. Talk about a win-win!Now, I've met hard, hard-working, humble people before in my life, but Cari and Seth take the cake. Not only are they running a busy, super successful farm on their own, which includes end-to-end processing of the animals and attending farmers' markets on weekends, but they also have full-time jobs in local law enforcement.It was an honor to sit down with these two and capture their story. There are so many inspiring nuggets on the beauty of hard work, living in concert with nature, and the mental and spiritual benefits of serving your community in a profoundly meaningful way.Enjoy the show!Remington Ranch WebsiteRemington Ranch on InstagramRemington Ranch on Facebook---------------❤️ If you believe inspiring stories like this can empower others to create meaningful lives and impact the world, join the Small Town Secret Sauce Patreon Community and become an ambassador for possibility.😊 Thanks for listening!

Ep. 38 Leidra McQueen, Executive Director of Lynchburg Beacon of Hope
#38 My guest today is Leidra McQueen. Not only does she have one of the coolest names, but she also heads up one of the coolest organizations: Lynchburg Beacon of Hope. This non-profit has been empowering young dreamers and seekers since 2011, preparing them for the big stage, both literally and figuratively.Beacon's mission is to "inspire Lynchburg's youth to pursue post-secondary education or training, invest in their potential, and equip them to become contributing individuals to the betterment of our community."Um... hi... I am so in love with this group and with Leidra. How could you not be?When I attended their annual event, HOPEx, recently, I was lit up! Think TED talks meets Moth Storytelling. For 2 hours, I was spellbound, listening to inspiring stories from adults and young adults alike. Amy and I truly floated out of there and could not stop talking about what a transformational event it was.And when I sat down to record my conversation with Leidra, all I could think of were the words "effortless" and "grace." Because when you are fully invested in a mission like Beacon's, you access stores of energy and power that are well beyond what you can possibly imagine.Please join me for this wonderful conversation and get to know Leidra, a true beacon of light and hope.Lynchburg Beacon of Hope's WebsiteLynchburg Beacon of Hope on InstagramLynchburg Beacon of Hope on FacebookLynchburg Beacon of Hope on LinkedInLynchburg Beacon of Hope on YouTube---------------❤️ If you believe inspiring stories like this can empower others to create meaningful lives and impact the world, join the Small Town Secret Sauce Patreon Community and become an ambassador for possibility.😊 Thanks for listening!
