In this episode of The Grow Renaissance presented through the Pasture Prime Time series, host Neil Smith welcomes vermiculture expert Nkosinathi Nkosi from South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal to dive into the world of earthworms, worm farming, and soil regeneration. They explore how Nkosi went from farm management into commercial vermiculture, using worm castings (nutrient-rich vermicast produced by earthworms) to transform poor soils, restore soil ecosystems, and create sustainable income opportunities, especially for small-scale farmers; discuss the benefits of vermicast and vermiculture compared to synthetic inputs; examine the agriculture landscape in KZN; and share insights on scaling worm-based systems, emerging products, and broader regenerative potential in farming and beyond.

In this episode of Pasture Prime Time, host Neil Smith sits down with psychologist and longtime private-practitioner Beth Capecchi (known to her listeners as Never Perfect Dr. Beth) for a grounded, authentic conversation that blends clinical insight with real-life wellness wisdom; with 22 years of experience helping adolescents and adults navigate self-esteem, anxiety, depression, family and relationship issues, and addictions, Beth also brings her own story of vulnerability and growth as a wife and mother of three teens from Chattanooga, Tennessee, where she lives with her husband Remo, and she’s the creator of two podcasts — the mental health-focused Never Perfect with Dr. Beth (which she launched almost five years ago to explore honest conversations about life’s struggles and strengths) and her Christian-centered show Never Perfect Faith (launched almost two years ago to explore faith, hope, and spiritual resilience) — and in this discussion she shares practical, real-world habits around nutrition, movement, sleep, social connection, and stress while modeling the honest vulnerability she champions, urging listeners to share their stories, lean into community, and recognize that we all have gifts and weaknesses but can grow stronger together.Connect with Neil and Dr. Beth Capecchi!Neil: https://www.linkedin.com/in/regensystems25/Beth: https://www.linkedin.com/in/beth-capecchi-93503869Website: Neverperfect.orgInstagram @NeverperfectpodcastFacebook: Never Perfect Podcast Office: Grounded Counseling grounded counseling407@gmail.comSet up your FREE Grow Wallet: https://app.growblockchain.net/Join the Grow Skool here: https://www.skool.com/thegrowskool/about?ref=3952ada279f74a1c9096aac759ab62d3Join us today as we work together to build a better world for today and tomorrow!
