A few years back, when I was a guy living in Washington, DC and dreaming of someday starting a farm, Justin Rhodes's content was one of the things that fed my interests and inspired me to take some steps to change my life. Whether it was the Permaculture Chicken documentary or the countless hours of watching his YouTube channel, the journey that Justin and his family have been on really motivated me to get up off the couch and start making some changes in my life. On today's episode, I sit down with Justin to learn more about how he got started and hear his advice for those who want to start on a similar path.
