A grounded, honest conversation about mental fitness and performance in agriculture.

This episode marks a new chapter for the podcast.

 

The Force of Nature Podcast is now From the Soil Up Podcast.

 

In this solo episode, Conan shares why the name has changed not because the message has shifted, but because the conversation has expanded. What began as a focus on soil health and farming systems has grown into something broader: conversations about the entire food system, from soil and production to human health, business, leadership, and long-term performance.

 

The values remain the same. The lens is wider. The conversations are deeper.

Because real performance doesn’t come from chasing the latest idea . It comes from doing the fundamentals properly. And that starts in the soil.
