The Meat Mafia Podcast

Matt Skoglund is the founder and owner of North Bridger Bison located in Wilsall, Montana. Matt wasn't always in Bison Ranching, however he has certainly found his passion and life mission. His ranch in Montana is dedicated to restoring the topsoil in Montana by raising Bison in the pasture. In our conversation with Matt, we discuss his journey into Bison ranching, his perspective on going "all-in" on something, and the history of Bison in America. The conversation really touches on a bit of everything from history, to the current ecological crisis, to Matt's entrepreneurial story. Enjoy!

What is The Meat Mafia Podcast?

The Meat Mafia Podcast is hosted by @MeatMafiaBrett and @MeatMafiaHarry.

We're two guys who walked away from the typical path to carve out something different. Based in Austin, we’re on a mission to figure out what it takes to live a fulfilled life in a world that often pushes us away from meaning.

We have conversations with people we believe can help us, diving deep into the pillars of health, wealth, and faith, as the cornerstones of our mission.

Whether it's challenging the modern food system, questioning conventional health advice, or building something from the ground up, we're here to explore the tough questions and share the lessons we’ve learned along the way.

If you're tired of the noise and ready to find meaning, tune in and join us!
