Kevin is a author, model for Timberland and the founder and CEO of epic gardening, a mega successful digital media property showing people how to grow their own food through the blog Instagram and now TikTok.
We discuss how his professional career in poker has helped him become a better decision maker and how the failures and successes that led to Epic Gardening. One of the steps along the way was being an early employee at scribe, the company behind many of my favorite Books including, can’t hurt me, by David Goggins.

This podcast is sponsored by my friends at AmicoTea. My good friend, Danny at Amico tea sources super high quality single origin teas from craftsman tea farmers and makers. These farmers cultivate spectacular tea plants in the ultra pristine protected mountain ranges of China.
I used to drink coffee every single morning. I would buy freshly roasted coffee 2x/month, grind the beans with a baratza burr grinder and make a good cup of drip coffee. For years, I added butter and coconut oil in place of creamer for my coffee too. The purpose of the added fat was for slower caffeine release and sustained energy throughout the day but for CALM mental clarity and daily caffeine, well cultivated, single origin tea has far outperformed any coffee concoction I’ve tested.
Since 2017, I’ve converted over 90% of my caffeine consumption from coffee to tea. I realized I my afternoons and evenings, even my sleep at night had been MUCH better on days where I only drank tea.
tea also has dozens of antioxidants and polyphenols like L-Theanine and GABA which has been proven to increase focus, stabilize blood sugar and together with dozens of other beneficial compounds, work together, to create an entourage effect where all the compounds compliment each other.
The result is an extended caffeine buzz, a sense of calm energy in the afternoon and absolutely ZERO crash. And that’s what got me to make the switch.
