The most popular episode–by a long shot–of the Radical Personal Finance podcast is Episode 40: “Making $80k on 1/3 Acre With an Urban Farm Without Owning Land? Yes, Please! Interview With Curtis Stone.“

Today, Curtis is back for another appearance.

We set out to record a show with a basic overview of how to get into urban farming with some practical steps lined out.

The first step is to get your mindset right. Although our interview got stuck on step one, it wound up being a fascinating discussion of business principles.

We discuss:

• Setting intelligent goals for urban farming
• Focusing on a triple bottom line: 1) economic 2) social 3) environmental
• The value of Education and especially specific, focused education

I hope you enjoy!

Joshua
