Rob welcomes Vincent and Jennifer Smart, the husband-and-wife team behind Urban Farm Mushrooms, to talk about their fascinating journey from traditional service businesses to mushroom cultivation. They discuss discovering their love for fungi, learning to grow and market their products, and the challenges of selling mushroom-based food supplements in a world still learning about “food as medicine.” Expect plenty of humour, insight, and inspiration — plus a few “magic mushroom” stories along the way.
