In this episode, I sit down with Nate Pontius of Pontius Ranches to talk about what it really takes to build a ranch in central Texas. Adapting through drought, raising animals with intention, and producing better food from the ground up.

We also get into Nate’s journey from the Marine Corps to ranch life, and how hard seasons, family, and purpose reshaped the way he trains, works, and lives.
