0:00.0	So welcome. Thank you for having me. I'm all the way from Hollywood, California. So I was
0:17.5	talking to the farmer out there. I stole an apple and I told him I grew up on a farm in Virginia,
0:24.1	but now I'm about as far away from a farm as you can be in Hollywood. I do miss it, so
0:29.9	it's good to be here. I notice this is pegged. Did anyone notice that? That's hard to build. I live with
0:38.8	the Amish for two and a half years. I don't know if you guys, everybody familiar with the Amish in the
0:43.6	United States. So I've been given a wide birth in terms of what I can talk about. So I'm going to
0:54.0	combine two things. I'm an investor in my background. I was here. I think we met at LBS. I did a
1:04.1	talk at LBS on my way. I did a TED talk recently. And so I'm going to share some of the same things
1:10.5	that I talked about at my TED talk, but I'll combine it since this is more of a not a pure business
1:16.7	audience. I thought I would bring in some of the stuff that I learned from living with the Amish

1:43.5	Winfrey. She has the first largest one. And I do reviews. And this just started, I think I'll
1:52.1	start this way. At this point, I've been an entrepreneur for a long time, 20 years. And I started
1:59.6	on a farm within apprenticeship with a guy named Joel Salatin, who some of you may have heard of,
2:04.6	I don't know if you've ever read the book Omnivore's Dilemma. Has anybody read that? It's kind of
2:09.4	about Joel Salatin in his farm. He's one of the guys who started organic agriculture in the
2:15.1	world. So at 18 years old, I was deciding whether I should go to university. And my stepdad said,
2:22.9	Ty, you can go to university later. This guy, Joel Salatin, is willing to offer you an apprenticeship.
2:28.8	So I went up there not knowing what I was getting what I was getting into. And it was a big farm
2:33.0	like this, 200 hectares. And little did I know I was walking into the path of a true renaissance man,
