Episode description

Jim Gale is the founder and chief storyteller of Food Forest Abundance, an organization that aims to provide people with freedom and independence through food forests. After selling his successful real estate company and retiring at 35, Jim thought he would relax for his remaining years. But after he had children, he started thinking obsessively about the future of humanity and came to a revelation: the solution to our society's biggest problems is permaculture.

Jim and show host Neal discuss how Jim started a real estate company in his mother's basement which reached over $1 billion in revenue in less than four years. And they discuss how he's more recently applied the problem-solving tenacity that made him successful in business to permaculture. A lifelong lover of nature, Jim's passion for permaculture is infectious. He sees it not only as a way to improve our health and environment, but also as a way to gain freedom and community.
