—
All right, guys. Welcome back to another episode of the Be Organic podcast. My name is Landon, co-founder and CEO of Clean Juice. I’m here with my beautiful wife, Kat. We are actually on set live in Nocatee, Florida, and we have a very special guest that I’m going to allow Kat to introduce.
Kat Eckles: So, not that this guest needs much introduction, but, he won the Heisman trophy in two national championships as a quarterback for the University of Florida. It’s my pleasure to introduce the one and only Tim Tebow.
Tim Tebow: Thank you guys. I appreciate you. Thanks. I’m glad to be here. Glad to hang out with you guys for the day, too. And I’m grateful I got the chance to know y’all over the last few months and everything that y’all are doing and glad to be a part of it. And it’s exciting, exciting to actually be here.
Kat: I think everyone knows you just from your sports background, but what I’ve found so interesting in just getting to know you and talk to you is you really have so much more going on than that even, you know, more so than sports, like your business ventures.
One of my most favorite things is your Tim Tebow foundation, which really helps with human trafficking. And we came to talk about business and many of our conversations just turn to that because it’s something we’re passionate about as well. I just wanted to mention that and make sure I brought it up because I think it’s really important to you.
Tim: Thank you. It’s definitely my biggest calling and purpose, is to fulfill our mission statement, which is to bring faith, hope, and love to those needing a brighter day in their darkest hour of need. We do that in every way possible because ultimately we believe the greatest thing you can do in life is change another life for the better.
We try very hard to do that every day and every opportunity that God gives us.
Kat: So we’re here today because we’re partnering with you, which is so awesome and I think it was super natural for us because, obviously what we do here at Clean Juice is clean food and organic eating. That’s something that you’ve been passionate about not only for your athletic career, but just for your businesses and your ventures and just performing at your peak so I’d love to hear about your journey to how you got there.
Tim Discusses His Journey to Clean Eating
Tim: Yeah. I love that, Kat, because so many people think for me that the way I eat and the way I train and a lot of things I do in life are because of sports and sports are only a tiny piece of that.
I will be as focused on what I eat, how I sleep, how I go about life, just as much when I’m done playing sports. Because for me, it’s a way of life. It’s not just a way of sports. I want to be as healthy and as focused and as you know, healthy in body and strong in spirit, you know, 50 years from now. For every day that God gives me, I wanna make the most of that.
I want to make the most of it in sports, but I want to even more so I want to make the most of it in life. And so many times we train for sports so we can be our best, but we gotta have that same mindset, that same heart posture, that same focus in life so that when God gives us opportunities and opens doors for us in life, that we’re ready to be able to take advantage of that.
We’re not bogged down with stress. We’re not fatigued. We have the energy to go after those things, you know, with our heart, soul, mind, and strength. I’m someone that when I would learn something about health, I would always want to apply it. When I learned as a boy, when I was 15 years old, just how bad sodas and junk food was, I got rid of it.
And I haven’t had a soda since I was 15 years old. An then, you know, in college and our nutritionist that we should carb load. And I was like, okay, I guess this is actually the best thing, right? But really this has a lot of negative effects. I’m gonna get rid of this.
It’s just been this constant journey of trying to learn and, and grow and adapt and what I would hear and who I would be around. It’s exciting to be with you guys and offering something that really is clean and it’s healthy, but I would say for me, probably the biggest thing over everything is that it’s trustworthy. There are not a lot of places you can go where exactly what they put on their signs is exactly what you get in your food.
That’s one of the biggest things that we started with our conversations. When you say, okay, it’s USDA certified organic, you mean it. And then we’ve talked through all your testing and how hard it is to get all of that. And so it’s like, you know what? It means enough to you and that means enough to me. And I appreciate that.
Landon Eckles: That’s awesome. It’s funny. My next question for you was going to be so when you’re going out to a restaurant, what’s the one thing that you really care about when you’re choosing where to eat. But you kind of just answered that.
Tim: Yeah, and that’s honestly why it’s hard. You try to find places where you can trust what they’re giving you, but you don’t have, I mean, I’m trying not to be negative, but you don’t have a lot of those options, right. You might order something you believe is healthy, but you don’t know the background of where it’s come from, what the soil is like where it was grown–all those different things.
You know, for me and my wife, we both so believe in trying to take care of our body and get the cleanest products we can. Even when she cheats a little bit, it’s still like a healthy cheat, you know? For us, it’s so important. And that’s why one of the biggest things that comes to my brain is trustworthy.
It’s also the peace of mind, right. You might not always feel the difference of just one meal, but that peace of mind of knowing what I’m getting is exactly what’s on the label.
Landon: Absolutely, no doubt. I appreciate you answering that. So when you’re going out and getting something to eat, a lot of people think that to eat healthy, it’s not gonna taste good, but I’m sure you’ve got a ton of favorites that are super healthy. Tell us about some of those favorite things.
Tim Discusses Some of His Favorite Healthy Foods
Tim: Well, I’ll tell you when I first started the keto diet, which was in 2011, or the end of 2011, no one knew what that diet was and most people had no idea how to make recipes for it but so much has changed along the way. A lot of people are, even if it’s not keto, they’re finding more low carb options, low sugar options.
And so you’re getting a lot more options today than you had 10 years ago, which I’m very grateful for. But then we also have just found different ways to like, we just had pasta the other night that my wife cooked but we made it out of my dad’s garden. He has squash and zucchini
and then we had the sauce on top which Demi made. And it was like, I’m eating spaghetti, you know, like this is amazing. And then we have brownies. We have healthy ice creams. We have awesome smoothies. Even when we splurge, we’re gonna have cauliflower pizza.
There’s so many more options. And I think when people say now, you know, I have a sweet tooth. I’m like, okay, is it gonna be as good as if you just pour a bunch of sugar in and make brownies? No, but it’s good enough to stop the cravings. I really believe that. And I think if you give it a try, you know, for some people listening, if you were like
“I’m Italian and I love this or in so much is culture-based too. I think there’s enough options for most people now where it can be good enough, but also healthy enough. And I would encourage people to just give it a try.
Kat: Well, I think you kind of train your taste buds too, right? Now you’d probably go eat Chick-fil-A or something. You’d eat a chicken sandwich and fries or whatever, and you might know that that’s not the best thing for you. You wouldn’t enjoy it as much as you thought.
Tim: I can taste very quickly when I have something where I feel like they put something in it. I can taste it and I can feel it very quickly. My taste buds have changed so much to now when I somehow get a bite of something I’m like that’s too much. You know? And I don’t like it.
I’ve never been a really sweet person. Even when I was young, I wouldn’t have sweets. It’s changed so much. People say, “Do you have the craving?” Honestly, never. Every now and then if Demi’s having ice cream, I’ll get a little keto ice cream, but I never want a regular ice cream.
The longer you train your body in your mind, I think the more it adapts and you become so comfortable with it and, and excited knowing that I’m choosing healthy options.
Kat: I’d love to hear what a day in the life of Tim Tebow’s food looks like.
What Tim Tebow’s Eats in a Day
Tim: Oh, that’s a really good question. I think it changes and adapts depending on the day, the practice, how hard I’m training, if I’m traveling, if I’m speaking, if we’re on a mission trip. It’s all different and I really try to adapt because of all those things.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been on a mission trip in a foreign country and I’ve just decided to go full-fast because it’s just easier. I’ll just get a bunch of water and go full fast. If it’s a quick trip like 3-5 days, then I would go either a full-fast or a moderated fast.
It was helpful because honestly, sometimes you eat something that you don’t know exactly what it is and that can be a lot worse. And then if I’d just had a practice, it could be a lot more intake because of the stress level and the impact. Every morning, the last few mornings have been a six egg omelet with bacon, sausage, chicken, and ham, all mixed in.
I’m getting a bunch of protein. I’m getting a bunch of fat in there and I’m fueling up pretty good. I’m killing so much water and that would just be in the morning. I’m probably having something like that five or six times within the day. I’ll also have multiple shakes or smoothies in between those meals to be able to get everything else in.
Those are really high, heavyheavy lift, heavy training, heavy practice days. So it changes based on what what I’m asked to do. On some Sundays, I’ll be doing a church service not far from you guys in North Carolina and that’ll look a little bit different. I will have something earlier in the morning, but I’m not gonna crush it right beforehand because before I speak, I can’t really eat a lot, you know?
Honestly a green drink and a little coffee or something might do the trick beforehand. Then after the first service or before the second one, I might do another one. Then, after I finish the next service, I might eat a little bit more food, because it’s hard for me to eat before I speak. So it just totally changes based on what I’m asked to do and the stress level and how hard it is to do. Does that sort of answer your question?
Landon: You’re clearly on the go but you know, you have different things that you do to fit kind of the regimen of your day, but it’s really all centered around a desire to just eat clean and pull on with your life and live a healthy lifestyle.
Tim: I mentioned earlier that I am on a keto diet, but I think sometimes it’s very easy to be keto but not always be clean keto. There’s a lot of different diets and I think there isn’t one that works for everyone but for me, it’s keto, but it’s also clean and it’s as much organic and green as it can be. Yes, I consume a lot of good fats, a lot of avocados, a good amount of protein, but then I think where we sometimes miss the boat with a lot of people with keto is they forget the clean and the organic.
For me, it’s a mixture of all of those. I really want to encourage people when they pick a particular type of diet with a list of foods on there, that you pick the clean versions of those. You can eat chicken and steak but get the cleanest versions of those. I feel like I’ve been learning over this time as well.
Landon: That’s a great point. People hear keto and probably think immediately it’s a ton of meats. But our friend wrote a book called “Ketotarian,” which is basically the keto diet, but it’s all plant based. So you can eat keto, but in a very healthy way. French fries are technically keto, but I don’t see you eating French fries.
Tim: Are they really? I’ve never heard that before. Based on whose definition? I haven’t had French fries in a real long time. But yes, I think that’s important. Let’s not just follow a diet per se and just follow the words, but let’s figure out how that works for you and then get the cleanest versions of those so that we can be as healthy, be as focused, be as energetic to fulfill the things we’re asked to do.
If Tim Tebow were making a smoothie and a juice, what would he put in it?
Landon: You mentioned smoothies a few times. Obviously, we love that because we sell a lot of smoothies. Well, I want to ask you a playful question about that. If we made a Tim Tebow smoothie, what would be in it?
Tim: The base has to be avocado. I love avocado and I feel like nothing really gives me the same energy and focus that avocados do. If I’m going smoothie, it would have to be avocado and then a Macadamia nut butter or a cashew butter or almond butter or something like that mixed in. I would go with a whey protein and then maybe add some cacao nibs in there, especially if the whey protein is chocolate and make it more of a peanut butter chocolate smoothie.
But if I was making a juice, then I’m going to add a bunch of spinach, celery, cucumber, lemon, ginger, turmeric. Those would be my juices and smoothies, off the top of my head.
Landon: That’s funny because you basically just described our double one smoothie and our green juice.
Tim: That’s awesome. I love those. The thing for me too that I’m so grateful for is smoothies are great for when I don’t really feel like eating more.
Sometimes when you’re training hard, you have to get so many calories but you don’t want to keep eating, to be honest.It’s such a great way to give yourself the fuel quickly, easily, and with great taste. That’s something that smoothies and juices do for me. I don’t want to sit here, especially before an event or something, when you don’t have an appetite, but you know you need to fuel yourself. with something. Smoothies and juices are just the easiest.
Landon: I’m the same way at the office. We’re running all day long and barely have time to grab anything. I have a smoothie every single day for lunch, just because you know, I’m not an athlete or I’m not training like you are, but at the same time, you know, I’m using my mind and all my directs, working on growing the brand and it takes a lot of energy.
A lot of times I don’t have the time to just sit there and get this massive meal. So I have a smoothie every single day for lunch and I follow it up with juice at night.
Tim: What’s in your smoothie?
Landon: So I drink our youthful one every single day which is blueberries, coconut oil, and almond milk. There’s a double scoop of hemp protein in there. I add spinach and spirulina.
Tim: I could definitely make a good blueberry one, too. You’ve got me thinking over here. We need to put me in the kitchen for a second.
Kat: So I’d love to transition to your faith a little bit because you know, that’s what you’re known for. I even remember being back in probably college, and you had the Bible verses under your eyes and we all thought that was so cool. But something that really struck me in past conversations we’ve had is you said even at an early age, you would be in church and they would be preaching and saying things and you know, maybe the pastor was severely overweight or there was this big gluttony issue that nobody was talking about.
So it sounds to me that even with your healthy eating from an early age, God really put that conviction in your heart and something that you were passionate about.
Tim Tebow Talks About Faith in Relation to Clean Eating
Tim: I’m not passionate about everybody having six packs. That has nothing to do with it. I’ve never encouraged anybody to worry about their figure. I want to worry about people’s health because I believe every single person has a calling, has an opportunity, has a chance, has a mission that God has given us, right? Every single person I believe has that. But when we don’t take care of ourselves, what we’re really saying to God is that this vessel, this temple, that you gave us, it’s not really that important.
I want God to know that, man, what you’ve given me is so important. I want to do every possible thing with it to honor you and to help as many people as possible.
We have the ability to change our life, by the way that we eat, the way that we sleep, the way that we take care of ourselves. And when we don’t focus on it it’s a little bit like, Hey God, you know, it’s not that important. And I believe that every single life is so valuable that God sent his son because God lives life.
Jesus came to give life and give life abundantly. And we need to have the same mindset. Every life is so valuable. Every life is so important, but we need to take care of our bodies that way, like we really care about it. And so for me, I’ve been very passionate about that, whether it was being on the governor’s council of physical fitness for the state of Florida, or it was doing things with young people and obesity and wanting to be a part of it and help with it.
It’s just been so important to me because I think education is important. Encouragement is important, giving people healthy options is important. That’s why I’m grateful to be a part of you know, something like this with you guys and Clean Juice is because, is it for a profit? Yes.
But it’s also for a purpose and it’s also for people. I want to believe that when people walk in that, yes, there is a chance we can make a profit? Of course, because that matters. But also do we also believe that it’s for a purpose and it’s for people and they can be better by it?
Yes. Because ultimately that’s more important than the for profit part will ever be for me, because I do believe that whatever hands find to do, we should do it with all our might. We can’t do that unless we are giving ourselves the right fuel, the right mindset, the right focus to be able to go after those things.
And I want to go after whatever God wants me to go after and to do that, I need to take care of my body so I’m ready when he asks me to run.
Landon: Absolutely. I think that’s so well said. I love how you said that those things don’t have to be mutually exclusive. People think that we can make drastic impact in the world, positive change, and also make money to support our families while doing it, you know? There’s nothing wrong with that. In fact, the Bible calls for it. When we founded Clean Juice, we wanted God to be in the center of what we do. Our mission statement is straight from 3 John 1:2, which is “Dear friend, I hope all is well with you and that you are as healthy in body as you are strong in spirit.”
And when you hear that as part of our mission statement how does that resonate with you and what are your thoughts?
Tim: Well, I think it’s healthy in body by the fuel you put in and strong in spirit by the encouragement. And that’s one thing I feel is, you know, just being around you guys and.
The joy and the happiness and not being ashamed of your faith you know, having it here on the wall at Clean Juice, so that when people walk in, they’re encouraged, not because they’re necessarily preached to, but because there’s a smiling face. There’s people that are excited to see them. To me, that is how I would take that strong in spirit.
Just sitting here in a Clean Juice in Nocatee, I can see that when people walk in, they walk out being a little bit better physically and they walk out being a little bit stronger emotionally and maybe even spiritually by being able to be around believers that truly care about them.
Maybe later someone will say to them, “Why are you so excited? Why do y’all put Bible verse on here?” This might give them an opportunity to even go a step deeper. I think that’s really cool.
Kat: You said we were bold to share our faith, but I just want to thank you for historically being so bold throughout your career. I know you’ve taken heat for it sometimes like we did, not to the same level as you but it can be difficult but I think it can be really cool for you to share your testimony and what Jesus has done for life.
Tim Tebow Shares His Testimony
Tim: He’s done everything for my life. I grew up in a Christian household. My parents were missionaries. I was born overseas. I’m the son of missionaries and I went to church all the time, but it wasn’t until one day I was lying in my bed and I knew I didn’t know Jesus. So I got up early, couldn’t sleep, ran to go see my mom and I said, “Mom, I got to ask Jesus to come into my heart.” And she said “Okay, let me go get your Dad.” And I said, “No, Mom, we don’t have time for that.”
So we got on my knees right there on our couch and asked Jesus to come into my heart. And I know at that moment I went from darkness to light. I was adopted into the family of God, my eternity was sealed, and I have a home in heaven. But there was such a journey from that point.
One of the biggest impactful moments in my life after that was when I was 15. I was on a mission trip in the Philippines and I had the opportunity to meet a boy with his feet on backwards who was viewed as a throwaway, as insignificant. Actually a lot of people believe that he was cursed and I knew that day that sports were a big part of my life and that’s what I wanted to do but I knew leaving that village, that mountain, that day, that the boy changed my life.
I knew God had called me to a new, more important mission. And it wasn’t sports anymore. It was a fight for people that can’t fight for themselves. He was a catalyst for TTF and he was a catalyst for what I believe is my greatest calling in my life until the day I get to go to heaven is to fight for people that can’t fight for themselves. When you really sum up what we do as a foundation, it is fighting for people that can’t fight for themselves, whether that is the special needs, whether that is those that are being trafficked, whether it’s the orphan, whether it’s the forgotten, whether it’s the people that are viewed as cursed around the world, the kids with life threatening illnesses, whatever.
It is for those that are in their darkest hour of need. And they need us to bring faith, hope, and love. They need us to fight for them. They need us to stand up for them. And so I’m so grateful for all the different times that God has impacted my life, but those were really two of the most impactful and the catalyst for what I believe is my biggest calling to this day.
Landon: That’s awesome. It’s very strong. Tim, I want to ask you a pretty personal question if you don’t mind. We’re sitting here in a Clean Juice, and there’s a prayer jar right behind you. All of our guests have the opportunity to write a prayer and to drop it in the jar. Then later we pray for them. So if you were to write a prayer and drop it in that jar, what would your prayer be?
Tim: I think the first thing that comes to my mind would be that I would have the intimacy and wisdom to know what God wants me to do. And the courage to follow through on it.
And that somehow God would take my weaknesses and my flaws and my failures and like he’s done with so many people and heroes in the Bible that he would use them to do something to bring a lot of people to know him because ultimately, I want it to be the biggest thing that I do here on earth is to make his name great and introduce people to him.
I know I’ve already failed at that so many times and fallen short, but I’m so grateful that our God is the God of mercy and grace. And that he uses people that fall short and that means he can still somehow use me. And I’m so grateful for that. And I think that would be my prayer is that I would be close enough to know him or what he wants me to do, and I would have the courage to live it out.
Kat: Thanks for sharing that Tim, that’s really good. I wanted to talk a little bit about work ethic. It’s funny. Sometimes Landon and I will leave after meeting you and I’m like . . “Tim just makes me feel like I’m accomplishing nothing in life. I’m like a complete failure.” You just have this presence about you that screams work ethic and really that’s purpose and drive and you doing what God wants you to do, but what can you say to maybe some of those young athletes out there, maybe they’re in little league or high school or just athletes that are so focused on sports about your work ethic and how you got to where you are?
Tim: You know, what’s funny is that my whole life and probably all of our lives, we hear people in school and coaches and teachers and everything. They talk about having a work ethic and it never really made sense to me. And it still doesn’t make sense to me. You don’t want to have a work ethic for the sake of having a work ethic. Whoever said that’s a great thing, like it’s just a work ethic, right?
You want to have a work ethic because the purpose in what you’re doing is so great that I care about it so much. I can’t help but have a good work ethic. I can’t help but be disciplined. I can’t help but be focused. I can’t help but be a critical thinker. I can’t help but be locked in because what we’re asked to do is so important, right?
I think when you try to inspire people in work ethic as the end goal, it’s really hard because yes, we can get up at five o’clock and we can go train, but then it’s like, dude, I’m just having a work ethic for work ethic. It’s going to fizz out.
But if your purpose is so great, if you care about it so high, if your mission is so important, then I think the work ethic is sustainable. The discipline is sustainable. I just don’t think for the sake of work ethic that people can get up and train and give their best every day. I don’t.
But if the mission is so important, if it’s so valuable, if it’s for your faith, your friends, your family, your, you know, herding people, or living out a dream. If that’s what you’re doing now, my work ethic can be stronger because my “why” is stronger. I would encourage those in high school, middle schooler kids that maybe are listening to us right now that they’re trying to figure that out.
Then I would go deeper than just your work ethic. I would go to the why, why are you doing it? Do you really love it? What is your dream in doing it? Is it to get a college scholarship? Is it to be able to make your parents proud? Is it to be able to prove the doubt, whatever it is, have something that is stronger than just your work ethic and have your “why” be something that is strong, that that’s the reason you can get up and go grind.
Landon: That’s awesome. That’s really great. You know when we created Clean Juice, one of our prayers for the brand was that we weren’t just going to provide healthy food, but like you said earlier, we’re going to do it in a fun, loving atmosphere and almost be a place where people can come in, get a really healthy product, enjoy the smiling faces, somebody behind the counter that actually cares for them. You know, almost be a place of refuge for them from the craziness of their life.
When we sit with you, you have so much going on. There’s so much noise and kind of almost chaos in your life. What do you do to kind of drown out the noise? What do you do to get some silence or relief?
Tim: I think it’s by the people around. I think so much that we do in life is about the people. For me, where I go to find that refuge, and I guess where you could say to find the peace is the people. It’s my wife, my mom and dad, my friends, even our family at TTF. Shoot, I’d say sometimes it’s our orphanages around the world or the people we get to minister with and too as well. I’d say, you know, our team that we’re so blessed to be around. I love being around them every day. I love going to our foundation offices and hanging with their team because they’re the best people I know. I think it’s important.
My dad always told me, always told me, when we were young, “He walks with Wiseman will be wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm. And in a multitude of counselors, there is wisdom.”
I just really want to try, and haven’t always done it, but I want to try and take that to heart. I want to walk with wise people, you know, and have people around me that are going to speak life, speak truth into my life, and hold me accountable.
But I also look forward to being with them because I know who they are and what they’re about. I’m grateful for that. And I think that is really a driving force in my life is having those people. It’s a big difference when you’re filled up with those people versus if you don’t have them.
Landon: Absolutely. I know Kat and I had the pleasure of meeting you, Tim, in your Tim Tebow Foundation. When we left there, we said, “Tim is just in his element in there.” You were so genuine in your interaction with your crew. It was just so authentic. And that tells us that you care. And you care so much about them, but also you’re getting filled up from what you’re doing, the focus in your life. That came across very clear to us.
Tim: Yeah. I think the craziest thing is when we are there, I never count the hours. My wife knows when I’m going to the office, she’s not seeing me until late. It just goes by because we we love what we’re doing so much, that it’s so important.
For us, it’s not a charity. it’s not an organization. It is a mission. It is a calling. It is a purpose. I encourage all the listeners to search for that in your life. What is that thing that is so much bigger that you never have to punch an alarm clock and you never have to wait till Friday for.
Life’s not about one day, it’s about this day. Find that thing, that this is your day to go after that. Because for me, it’s there and it’s what we get to do there. And I’m glad you guys felt it when you’re there because it truly is a lot of my favorite people and favorite things to do.
Kat: It’s great people. It’s really down to earth. Every time we’ve been there, we’re like every single person is just down to earth and genuine. You can feel it. It speaks a lot to you, too. They say, you know, who you surround yourself with is who you are. And, you know, you surround yourself with great people.
Tim: They’re a lot better than me.
Kat: Lastly, I want talk about how you don’t align yourself with a ton of brands and I think that’s probably by design. I know you’ve even mentioned some sponsorships that you turned down just because you didn’t align with their brands and didn’t want to promote them, but you’ve chosen Clean Juice, which is awesome.
You know, I know we’ve talked a lot about this, but what’s the number one thing that speaks out to you about Clean Juice and what are you most excited about moving forward with us?
Tim: I think it’s several things. I think it’s one, the people, it’s you guys.
And I think two, it’s the product like I mentioned. It’s good for people and it’s going to help people walk out the doors, being better, being encouraged. I think overall what you guys have done and what you guys have started is exciting, it’s encouraging. I think it’s super commendable.
I love that you have Bible versus right behind. And I love that it’s something that you’re not ashamed of and you’re willing to live out and you’re going to encourage other people in that. Kat, the first time we talked, you were so determined on the process of how everything goes.
I loved it and it was almost dogmatic, but it was great. I love that. I love that when people come into a Clean Juice that they can trust the product.
I think it’s really important to be authentic, transparent, and trustworthy. You know what, we’re going to disagree. A lot of people are going to come in and disagree. I think this is better than this, but if we’re trustworthy about why we have it, if we’re transparent about it, then you know what, we can even disagree, but we know we’re on the same page.
I think that’s something that you guys have done such a great job on. People can trust the product. It’s extremely transparent and it’s faith based and you’re going to wear that on your sleeve. All those reasons combined is why I’m thankful to be sitting here today.
Landon: That’s awesome. Tim, we’re deeply thankful for you. We appreciate the vote of confidence and just the partnership and like Kat said, we believe it’s going to bear a lot of great fruit and we’re just grateful for you. We’re grateful for who you are and who God created you to be. So, thank you brother. Thanks for being on our podcast and thank you for joining the team.
Tim: I’m grateful too. I’m also excited to see the health impacts of so many people. I know we’ve kind of put that slightly to the backburner. That also is super encouraging to me is seeing the pictures back here and just yes!
I love encouraging people. They can do this. Come on, you know, Yeah, love it. So I’m pumped. Thank you guys.
