In this episode, host Sophia Layne visits Jayne Beatty at Miramar Farms near Half Moon Bay, where the conversation begins in Jane’s kitchen amid the smell of zucchini muffins baking in the oven and unfolds through a walk around her farm’s orchards and gardens.

Jane shares how Miramar Farms offers a unique refuge for corporate and nonprofit leaders—a place to slow down, reconnect, and do deep strategic work away from the pressures and rapid pace of modern business life.
