I had my good friend Jeff Nobbs on this podcast over 100 episodes ago — he was one of the first 50 guests I chatted with.

In that episode, Jeff shared with me his 10+ year veggie oil crusade and why the research continues to prove just how harmful vegetable and seed oils are for our health and the environment.

But since we covered the topic in-depth then, we’re moving into a different area for this episode. Specifically, Jeff and I are diving into what you can replace vegetable oils with and how to make this both sustainable and scalable.

You’ll also hear about how Jeff came up with an incredible solution to the problem, Cultured Oil, and you’ll learn all about what that is, what it’s made from, how it’s better for your health and the environment, and so much more.

I was a huge skeptic at first when it came to Cultured Oil but now that I’ve dove deeper into everything I can on it, I’m starting to see what a great alternative is.

If you don’t know Jeff Nobbs, he’s a serial entrepreneur on a mission to solve one of the world’s biggest problems.

While helping other top-brands, like Perfect Keto, HelpKitchen, and more, he’s learned exactly what it takes to create and sell a product that has a massive positive impact.

And that’s exactly what his latest brand, Zero Acre Farms, is doing.

You’ll hear about that business and more when you tune into this episode
