Alec sits down with Mollie Engelhart, regenerative rancher, former vegan chef, and author of Debunked by Nature, for a grounded conversation on the collapse of American farming and how digital control systems threaten food sovereignty. Mollie explains how 170,000 farms have vanished in eight years, how the U.S. became a food importer, and why true freedom starts with reconnecting to the land. Together they explore practical solutions, from SNAP reform to supporting local farmers, and what it means to build resilience through discomfort, family, and community.
