In this groundbreaking episode of Get Real or Die Trying, host Amadon DellErba sits down with Ryland Engelhart — regenerative agriculture advocate, entrepreneur, filmmaker, and co-founder of Kiss the Ground — for a deeply honest conversation about soil, food systems, consciousness, and cultural transformation.

Ryland shares his journey from building iconic plant-based hospitality brands like Cafe Gratitude and Gracias Madre to dedicating his life to regenerative agriculture, soil restoration, and planetary healing.

Together, Amadon and Ryland explore how broken food systems reflect broken relationships — to land, to community, and to ourselves — and why regeneration must begin from the ground up, both literally and spiritually. This conversation dives into sacred commerce, soil as a living intelligence, decentralization, personal responsibility, and the illusion of top-down solutions.

Ryland speaks candidly about the limits of ideology, the importance of humility in learning from nature, and how true change comes not from protest alone, but from participation and stewardship. Weaving together ecology, entrepreneurship, spirituality, fatherhood, and cultural renewal, this episode reveals why healing the soil may be inseparable from healing humanity — and why the future belongs to those willing to get their hands dirty.

If you’re ready to rethink climate narratives, question extractive systems, and explore what real regeneration looks like in practice — this conversation will leave you grounded, inspired, and called to action. #rylandengelhart #sovereigntyranch #kisstheground
