“Sometimes the most powerful conversations aren’t about success — they’re about what it costs to grow.”
In today’s episode, I sit down with Matthew Gauger, founder of Greenhorn Grove, a homesteader, husband, and father who’s learning to build a life from the soil up — both literally and emotionally.
Matthew opens up about his journey into homesteading, the hard lessons of self-reliance, and what it really means to live in alignment with your values. But this conversation also goes deeper — into the struggles within his marriage, the pressures of providing, and the courage it takes to face what’s not working while still choosing growth.
This isn’t just a story about farming — it’s a story about faith, honesty, and rebuilding. It’s about what happens when the image of a perfect life gives way to something far more authentic.
So settle in. This one’s vulnerable, grounded, and full of heart — a real look at what it means to build something that lasts.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
