I came across Ben Hewitt a few years ago. He’s a man living much of the way many men desire to live: by the sweat of his brow, on his own land, raising and growing food, educating his children as he sees best, and seeing how his hard work directly contributes to the well-being of his family. Ben also shares his life with the rest of us through his blog http://benhewitt.net, and has a few books you should definitely check out. He has a point of view on the world that is quickly fading but is sorely needed and I am glad to have him on the podcast.
