Matt Griffin and I met during our time at the University of Florida, pretty much everyone in the college of agriculture knew everyone. While we never shared any of the same classes, we both were active in various student organizations and share a love for all things Florida agriculture. Matt is a seed product development manager by day and a Seminole war reenactor by night. Our interview will cover a wide variety of topics, like how Matt develops certain plant varieties for his customers, some Florida agriculture history, as well as why he portrays a Black Seminole Indian for various war reenactments. This is a great one! Be sure to check out Matt at the links below as well as another podcast interview he was on, The Millennial Salesman.
