Staying Put in a State on Fire - Elaine Culotti (Video)
I love California. Really, But these days, it feels like loving California is like loving someone who keeps setting your stuff on fire.
In this 17 September 2025 published video, host Mike Rowe talks with Elaine Culotti—developer, farmer, entrepreneur, and one of the few people I know who loves this state even more than I do. You might know her as the “Lipstick Farmer” or from Undercover Billionaire. While thousands are fleeing the madness, Elaine’s staying put—not out of denial but out of determination to fix what’s broken. We talk about what’s gone wrong—the fires, the red tape, the incentives that make it easier to leave than to lead—and why, despite it all, some of us are still here.
