Sam Marwood is an environmental scientist, Director of Operations at Odonata and a co-founder at Cultivate Farms, a marketplace to help aspiring farmers connect with investors (and farms). Sam's mission is to rejuvenate regional communities and help answer a critical question he gets all the time, "how do I become a farmer?"

In this episode, Sam tells us:

What it’s like to quit your job to become an entrepreneur
The power of social media to reach your audience, even (or especially) in agriculture
How aspiring farmers can get “investment ready” with Sam's help, and where to start
The balance of having a for profit business with a social good, and constantly having to assure investors he's not looking for, or giving, any handouts!

Apologies in advance for a bit of background noise at the end...we caught Sam on his way to work on the train!
