He has followed multiple passions writing, farming (land management) and family- we ask him how he does it all.

Take aways:

  • We just passed the 10th anniversary of Katrina, AmeriCorps members played a crucial roll in rebuilding New Orleans and Nic was one of those members!
  • How to Live, work and run a business with your spouse
  • Starting a business is about meeting an unmet need, addressing unmet needs is what AmeriCorps members do best
  • Books in a vending machine?
  • How do we re-connect to the process, the process of growing food or creating a book?

Check out his TEDx talk here.
