Rebekah Braswell: Roots Must Work to Grow Deep

Rebekah Braswell is the CEO of Land Life, a company that restores degraded landscapes through technologically advanced, wide-scale replanting projects. Rebekah comes from a 5-generation family farm and was the first person in her family to venture away from the vocation. A high achiever, she didn't move to the next town or state, but to Europe, where she earned her master's degree at Oxford. Next, she lived in the Middle East for the better part of a decade before landing in Amsterdam. Beth and Rebekah discuss female family leaders, visionary regenerative farmers, being exposed to heavy geopolitical realities at a young age, how misunderstood the Middle East is, and why environmental optimism isn't naive, it's practical. Oh, and once she sat in a courtroom when she was little, with her high-powered lawyer mother while RBG was behind the bench. No biggie.
