Mitch is a celebrated speaker, acclaimed author, successful business and community leader, and world-renowned athlete who has passionately guided thousands of people in their journey to find their passion with purpose while making a positive difference in society for all. Continuing to challenge himself, Mitch and his wife Michelle and AARP late-in-life newbie commercial farmers and in the hospitality business. This is a case of life-imitating-art following his publishing of Billy the Baaad Goat in The Big Yellow Rocket Ship about couple who move away from the city during the pandemic and buy a farm (with a big red barn). They are literally learning agri-tourism from the ground up!



STUCK IN A RUT WITH A GUT

In the middle of a highly successful 40+year career as a quota-caring tech executive with some of the world’s most beloved brands, Mitch found himself feeling unfulfilled, out-of-shape and unhappy. He kept asking himself – is this as good as it gets? He was desperate to find his personal passion.


Mitch discovered running and signed up for his first marathon.


Over the course of the next 10 years, he achieved a complete transformation, moving from physical and mental challenges to triumphs, getting into the best shape of his life and achieving world-renowned physical achievements that put him in the company of only a handful of celebrated individuals.


INSPIRATION THROUGH UNCERTAINTY

Mitch appreciates fellow-human’s drive, motivation and intention and uses this energy to help inspire others through books, speaking engagements, and mentoring.


Mitch genuinely believes in the inherent goodness and potential greatness in all humans and the role we all have in helping to make the world a better place through giving back.



Now, more than ever, after the last few years, we’re all searching for purpose and meaning in our lives. Post-pandemic, there is a real yearning in so many to not only achieve more, but also to find their reason-for-being; and to find joy and happiness again. From our youngest grade-school children (and their teachers and parents) emerging after virtual/hybrid/masked learning – to corporate teams who are getting together for the first time in three years and learning to work with new colleagues – there is also an emotional and physical need to get together again and celebrate our accomplishments, achievements and to build energy for the journey ahead. And even more importantly, the desire to laugh more, to learn more, and to love ourselves and the possibilities when we work towards common goals and objectives.


Mitch’s presentations, whether to corporate teams, schools, clubs, senior centers or special events are designed with the relevancy for the attendees with guidance from the organizer or leader. Knowing the incredibly non-stop busy schedule of everyone these days, he makes sure the process, organization, communication and technical bits are as smooth and seamless as possible (Murphy notwithstanding). Mitch also pays particular attention to making the hour or so interesting, captivating, engaging, dramatic, humorous and visually stunning. Mostly he wants to make the experience memorable – and that it might inspire some to follow that dream by taking the first steps. We all have the potential to upgrade ourselves; to change our lives, while helping society and others in the process.

 Hi! My name is Farmer Muhammad Ayub. I am 53 years old and still learning. I live and farm with my wife, Lizzie, and children/grandchildren in Yelm, WA. I am driven to join this cause of the Thurston CD to help preserve farmland and the traditional agricultural life-style that is typical of this county, before the concrete jungle started encroaching. Carcinogens in the environment, deforestation, soil erosion and pollution have become a runaway train. I would love to contribute my time, energy, talent and skill-set towards furthering the goals of the Conservation District. Working together helps us move systematically towards milestones of measurable success. Fresh, energetic horses are needed to pull this carriage  in this relay race. Cross-pollination of ideas will help the "hive-brain" to be successful. I bring the local farmers' voice to the table and I am most enthusiastic and passionate about this cause.  As an immigrant to this beloved country, I started my journe...

DARK ASEEL CHICKS- rare Indian oriental breed I have received from Houston, TX - 25 beautiful mink colored exquisite chicks of this variety. I can let my friends who want a pair have them for $5.00 each, limit 2. You have to promise to take excellent care of them, please ! They are just the awesome-est, most playful chicks that I have seen ! Dark Aseels are the best known variety of Aseels, which originated in India where they were raised for their gameness. They are one of the purest of all pure breeds and one of the oldest of all breeds. They are the smallest of the Asiatic breeds and are distinguished by the upright carriage of their compact, highly muscled bodies. Only a few breeders produce this very rare, brown egg breed, which has an aggressive disposition, and chicks are rarely available. Standard weights at maturity are males-9 1/2 lbs. and hens-8 lbs. Call me at 254-493-0183 or email me at ayub98516-at- gmail-dot-com Thank you very much ! ayub

don't give chicks for EASTER gifts- Young poultry may have Salmonella bacteria on their bodies, even when they are healthy and look clean. The germs also get on cages and other things the birds touch. Salmonella bacteria on your hands can spread to other people, surfaces, or infect you – if you don't wash up. You Can Get Sick Anyone can get a Salmonella infection, which can cause serious illness. Children are especially at risk of illness because they are less likely to wash their hands and have more frequent hand-to-mouth contact than adults. Symptoms of Salmonella infection begin about one to three days after exposure and include diarrhea, fever, and stomach pain. Illness usually lasts four to seven days and most people will recover without medical treatment. However, in some people the symptoms may be so severe that medical treatment or a stay in the hospital is needed. Infants, children, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems are more likely to experience severe illness. Call your health care provider, if you or your child has a high fever, severe diarrhea, or other symptoms that concern you. Don't Spread Salmonella Wash hands with soap and water after touching chicks and ducklings. It is the single most important thing you can do! When soap and water are not available, alcohol-based hand wipes and gel sanitizers may be used. Sanitizers may not be as effective if hands are too dirty. Clean off as much dirt as possible before using sanitizers.
