In The Loop With Andy Andrews

Andy and AT bring special guest Julie Borlaug, granddaughter of Norman Borlaug (whom The Butterfly Effect and The Boy Who Changed the World is about), on the podcast to discuss the legacy of her grandfather’s life-changing work.   Norman Borlaug hybridized corn and wheat for arid climates, which ultimately saved the lives of over 2 billion people across the world from famine. ·      Andy reverse engineered Norman Borlaug’s life in multiple books to show that everything we do matters. ·      He absolutely changed the world. ·      Julie now works for the Borlaug Institute at Texas A&M, which continues the work Norman Borlaug started.   Andy came up with The Butterfly Effect story when the military contacted him about the problem of suicide among soldiers. ·      How do you prove to people that their life matters? ·      He was researching George Washington Carver when he discovered Norman Borlaug.   Julie had the opportunity to work directly with Norman during the last six years of his life. ·      Norman
