‍

The Briefcase & The Barn is hosted by two Dutch Reformed misfits who’ve spent most of their lives in the church’s side-eye.

‍

Kyle Van Ruitenburg is the PK and connections guy who’s been around the world (and yes—straight off the boat). Gary Baars is the money guy who’s been around just about every farm and cow.

‍

Together, they have blunt, funny, real talk about business, life, faith, culture, and the stuff Christians usually don't talk about.

‍

Recorded on the west coast of Canada in Chilliwack, BC.

‍

New episodes every Wednesday at 5 am PST.

‍

Created & produced by The Furiously Curious Company.
