Shaped by the Land, with Jason Burbage

In this episode, Mac Christian talks with the President of National Land Realty, Jason Burbage. Most of our shows focus on land improvements, the things we do to change the land to suit our needs. This discussion takes a different approach. Land has a profound impact on us. It can strengthen us, guide us, and it can shape us. Jason Burbage has been profoundly influenced by his relationship with land. Born with a complication that affected his hands, he has turned what could have been a defeat into a strength. Much of this is due to his own perseverance and his upbringing, but as you will hear, the land around him has helped guide his journey.
