0:00.0	Hey, Nugget listeners. Today I'm excited to share an episode from my new podcast, Something
0:05.9	Different with Stephen Dimit. It's very similar to The Nugget, but it dives into topics
0:11.3	beyond climbing. And every now and then, whenever I record an especially good episode or one that
0:17.6	has a lot of crossover with the Nugget, I'll share them here.
0:21.1	This one's with Jake Mewes, the CEO and founder of Maui Nui-Venison, and we dig into
0:27.1	themes a lot of us climbers care about, nutrition and performance and environmentalism

1:28.6	solve one of the most interesting and complex environmental and food resource problems on the
