On this episode we talk with Jim Gale, the extraordinary mind behind Food Forest Abundance and a true force of nature. As a international permaculture advocate, entrepreneur, and CEO, Jim has dedicated his life to transforming the way we interact with our environment, cultivating a sustainable future for all. 

We explore the power of the mind, having a vision for the future, scarcity and abundance, being free, the freedom of having food forests and growing food, joining community gardens, allowing schools to be a space to educate and grow food, changing the idea of what off-grid living is, community being key.

Jim talks about his journey, being called ’nature boy’ when being a kid, coming across the concept of enlightenment, what being a wrestler taught him, writing goals for direction, learning about people and cultures whilst living nomadically, having a highly successful mortgage business, discovering permaculture, creating an off-grid community in Florida and sharing knowledge.

For more about Jim and Food Forest Abundance find them on Instagram, Facebook and https://foodforestabundance.com/.

Summary: Julie-Roxane explores her life-long love affair with food and how it has become one of her spiritual practices.

We also discuss the importance of proper discourse, listening, and the truth finding process, cultural rebuilding, composting, climate change, and cause and effect.
