James McKinney's guest this week is FX Rouxel, founder and inventor of Gardyn. Gardyn's technology allows you to grow plants at home and swap them out like you might already do with Keurig k-cups or Nespresso pods.

He also explains his childhood in the suburbs of Paris and what brought him to America.
