What if the path to freedom doesn’t lead through cities—but across mountains, rivers, and wild open land? In this episode, we sit down with nomadic horseman Michael Ridge, a.k.a. the Prince of Ponies and Wildflowers, to explore a life built on survival skills, native plant wisdom, and deep respect for the earth. From crafting buckskin to navigating by instinct, Ridge invites us into a world where connection to land replaces consumerism, and real environmentalism isn’t a trend—it’s a way of life. This conversation might just flip your perspective on what it means to be free.

"Healing is a natural process that takes place so when we learn the place we're in and learn our place within it, it's a natural thing.” -Michael Ridge
