Sound bites
- “I did it because I wanted to be on the side where I could help to teach people an easier way to survive our lives in a healthier manner.”
- “I was barely even 20 and I was working with Dr. Earl Mindell and he had a radio show. He handed me my first microphone and I just never gave it back.”
- “A lot of people now look at things saying, you know, when I want to go organic, I want to start putting some good things in my system, and I think the same thing you’re going to start seeing with regenerative.”
