Who inspires me collaboration..when asked to do this inspirational video I immediately knew who I was going to talk about. And right off the bat, the first person who has inspired so much over, especially over the last couple of years, & that is my daughter. my daughter has an autoimmune disease called autoimmune neutropenia, & that is where your body destroys your neutrophils, or basically , your white blood cells. And you neutrophil, or white blood cells are what fight off infections, bugs, diseases, etc, in your body & in her case, she typically has a super low neutrophil count, which causes her to be susceptible to infections. And over the last few years she has been through a lot, especially for a young child, & after all she's been through, the sicknesses, the sticking, the testing, the biopsies, the weeks & days in the hospital..she has never complained, she has never fussed, she has never griped, she has never asked, why me. Instead she just fights, & is a warrior, a trooper, an inspiration to me. To not worry about what you cannot control. Not to fuss or gripe. not to get down, & to always smile & keep your head up. To take life by the horns & run with it. To just smile.

Chef Scott Peacock has been a huge inspiration to me & probably the main reason I have a YouTube Channel, I have a podcast, I have Cog Hill Farm, & why Cog Hill Farm has expanded, & gave us the push to expand & take a chance & chances in life. Why we have meat chickens, why we decided to raise heritage breed pigs, & get heritage breed egg layers, & not to compromise, & do what you love. In Scott's life, he never compromised. He never wanted to be a trendy chef & do trendy food, & do what was hot & popular in the food word, to try impress foodies & food critics. Instead Scott did what he wanted to do, & that was Pure, Simple, Quality food, that meant something to him. The process, the history, the simplicity, the pureness of it all, & that why he is a James Beard award winner, that is why his cookbook was named one of the top 100 cookbooks of all time, that is why he was named Southern of the year by better Southern Living Magazine. And that passion has really expanded into what he is doing now in the next chapter of his life. Since Scott has retired from the cooking world, he focussed on where food comes from, the old heritage breeds, the super rare heirloom seeds & vegetables & crops. He is growing rare strains of rice, wheat & indigo. He has taught himself to to grow inigo from seed, & then harvest it, & then turn into these beautifuls dyes. And that is why he inspires me, to stay passionate & don't compromise.

The next are motivational guys that I really look up to & watch what they are doing. Maily gary Vee or Gary Vayerchuck. Gary Vee is an self made entrepreneur, & I just love his straight forward, no bs, way of looking at life. I love his videso & youtube channel & his DailyVee he puts out daily on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/user/GaryVaynerchuk Just go check GaryVee out.
Lastly is an ex navy seal, John Goggins. Goggins has an incredible story, & much like Gary Vee, hs is a no nonsense type of guy. Straight forward & to the point in his motivational speeches, but there is this one clip that I watch everyday from John Goggins. Someone ask him what does he say to himself when the chips are down, & his response is What If. I watch that every morning before I get going & tell myself What If 100's times a day

Thanks for watching who inspires me & I hope you have the Best Day Ever & hopefully this video will inspire you are give some new inspiration & motivation to do what you want to do in life, bc we only have one shot at life, so do something!
