This week we sat down with Dr. Anthony Gustin, founder of Equip Foods, host of The Natural State Podcast, and expert on ancestral health and nutrition. We reflected on Anthony's journey building and selling his company Perfect Keto, and the lessons he learned about finding fulfillment through creative pursuits versus just chasing entrepreneurial success.
Anthony shared his recent move to Bend, Oregon and how he is focused on investing profits into local businesses and building community. We discussed concerns about societal decay, and the lack of inspiring role models when reaching high levels of "success."
A big portion of this episode involved an honest discussion about our spiritual journeys and discovering meaning through faith. Anthony opened up about exploring religion after rejecting it earlier in life, while we explained how finding a supportive church community has been incredibly impactful for both of us.
Overall, this was a wide-ranging and vulnerable conversation exploring entrepreneurship, spirituality, regenerative agriculture, and leading a values-driven life in service of others. We appreciated Anthony's wisdom and perspective.

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!
