Welcome to the podcast "Country Tough with Brandy Von Holten"! Today's guest is James King with King's Excavation & Land Management, LLC out of Foristell, MO, near St. Louis. I have never met James in person. I stopped scrolling one day when I allowed myself to blow off time with Facebook Reels. King's Excavation went to the aid of strangers after Hurricane Helene. That one video touched me, which started the mad hunt to do a podcast interview with them. Good people need to be celebrated and supported.

My heart goes out to the people whose lives were devastated by Hurricane Helene. Thank you to King's Excavation for stepping up and trying to help.

As customers, you have the power to dictate who you hire and support. If you need what they do, give them a call.

Welcome to Country Tough with Brandy Von Holten. Boy, do I have a story for you! I met Lynne Knowles because I thought I was calling a hypnotist from Australia. In the world of influencers, I am a mini-influencer. With 110K followers, I was bombarded with people wanting me to sell their products. Lynne was different, and luckily, I opened the door for her in my life, and there's no turning back now!

Lynne introduced me to drinking bioidentical ketones. I felt it literally in my head on day one. I am not a product person at all; I'm a science girl and a relationship girl. The bioidentical ketones and Lynne were the perfect combination.

I have learned so much more about health with the company, pros of MLM companies, benefits and safety of not ordering specific products from Amazon...heck I've even learned some baseball history since I met Lynne.

She calls me the "most interesting woman in the world". I think of Lynne as a driving force behind all sorts of people. She's my "Ace up sleeve that helps me slay the day with tons of mental focus, live longer by aging better, and helps me live longer by aiding in my weight loss through ketones.

To check out ketones, speaking engagements, and business services at www.brandyvonholten.com ,look under "Health Journey".

Once for how they act and once for their papers. She is breeding for a better quality athlete.

Magen is more than a bad mamma jamma cowgirl, she is also a holistic healthy woman. She is living the carnivore lifestyle in addition to doing ice baths as much as she can while living in Texas.
