Ham","description":"I borrowed the title of this episode from Cat Stevens, and you will soon see why.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;To Cat Stevens, Tillerman represented, \u201cthe man of the Earth,\u201d working to make things on this planet.&amp;nbsp; And Tea, well, my guest knows tea.  In honour of Earth Day, I sit down with Michael Don Ham, entrepreneur, wellness advocate, and co-founder of Wild Orchard Teas, for a beautiful conversation about purpose, resilience, and what it really means to build a business that matters.&amp;nbsp; A business in constant conversation with Mother Nature.  From the son of immigrants to a teacher to arriving in New York just before 9\/11, to finding his passion in regenerative farming, clean air, and human health. Michael\u2019s journey is anything but conventional. But what ties it all together is a higher calling: to help people live healthier, more connected, more meaningful lives.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;  This is a conversation about longevity, leadership, and the courage to choose purpose over quick profit. It is also a reminder that in a world moving too fast, slowing down, sharing time with others, and building with intention may be exactly what matters most.&amp;nbsp;  Enjoy Michael\u2019s words of wisdom over a cup of Tea.
