#171: Regenerative Bison Ranching featuring Matt Skoglund

Matt Skoglund is the founder and owner of North Bridger Bison located in Wilsall, Montana. Matt wasn't always in Bison Ranching, however he has certainly found his passion and life mission. His ranch in Montana is dedicated to restoring the topsoil in Montana by raising Bison in the pasture. In our conversation with Matt, we discuss his journey into Bison ranching, his perspective on going "all-in" on something, and the history of Bison in America. The conversation really touches on a bit of everything from history, to the current ecological crisis, to Matt's entrepreneurial story.
