The Wildly Capable Show
Everyday you wake up with a choice. You can either face life's challenges head on or let life happen to you.
A few years ago, as a family, we decided to make a change. We wanted to become wildly capable. Now we're on a mission to equip ourselves with the knowledge and skills necessary to thrive. We want to train hard and run fast towards our goals.
And we apply this energy to every aspect of our lives—parenting, business, health, and marriage. This show is designed to explore ways to increase our capacity and and enable us to aggressively live out our calling.
We don't shy away from challenge. We charge the storm.

"COVID cost me 25 million dollars"—how COVID caused California restaurants and farms to fail, the transition from vegan chef to regenerative rancher, and the reshaping of America's political landscape with Chef Mollie Engelhart
In this episode of the Homegrown Podcast, host Liz Haselmeyer speaks with Mollie Engelhart, a former vegan chef and restaurant owner who transitioned to regenerative farming after the COVID-19 pandemic forced her to close her successful restaurants in California. Mollie shares her journey of understanding the complexities of food production, the importance of a closed-loop supply chain, and the role of death in the food cycle. The conversation also delves into political ideologies surrounding food choices, the reshaping of liberal environmentalists, and the education of children about food and death.
