The 500K Side Hustle – Epi-3654

We talk a lot about side hustles as a transition strategy from the world of the J O B to the world of entrepreneurship but what if you could do it in a big way. From wage slave to 500K business, it can be done and today we talk to someone actively doing it. Our guest today is Nate who will remain anonymous other wise.  He started his business in 2019 on a whim ager a slew of other attempts failed.  This time he has gotten traction and is blowing it up.  Today we will dig into how you actually …

Restoring Americas Health with Real Food – Epi-3653

Today we discuss restoring America’s health, not with another fad or magic pill, but by rethinking what we put in our bodies every single day. I’m using the word “diet” the way it’s meant to be used—our habitual nourishment, not some temporary punishment. The truth is, our nation’s health is in the gutter. Chronic disease is skyrocketing, and the solution isn’t more meds and surgeries—it’s food. Real food. In this episode, I break down how we got here, what all effective diets have in common, an

The Trade Wars – Epi-3652

Today we discuss The Trade Wars — a chaotic but opportunity-filled moment as Trump’s tariffs shake global markets, traders panic, and prices drop instead of rise. We dive into why early deleveraging might’ve saved the system, how Taiwan and Vietnam are already folding, and why a market crash is a buyer’s dream. Plus, oil’s collapse to $60 puts pressure on Russia and drops prices everywhere. And for the first time, Bitcoin holds steady while everything else burns — as the U.S. quietly embraces cr

The Entrepreneur Mindset for All – Epi-3648

You don’t have to own a business to think like an entrepreneur. That’s the big message today. Whether you’re self-employed, running a company, or punching a clock at a W2 job, adopting an ownership mindset changes everything. We’re talking about how this shift helps you build wealth, gain freedom, and take real control of your future. Entrepreneurs get the perks—tax advantages, flexibility, multiple income streams—but the mindset that gets them there? That’s available to everyone. If you’re an e

The High Cycle Homestead – Epi-3645

Today we discuss the concept of the “High Cycle Approach” — a simple but powerful way to rethink how resources move through a homestead. Instead of using something once and tossing it, what if you could squeeze two, three, or even five productive uses out of it before it ever left your system? That’s what high cycle thinking is all about. It’s the opposite of the modern throwaway mindset, and it builds serious resilience. In this episode, I’ll walk you through real-world homestead examples where

The Great Monetary Divide – Epi-3643

The world is changing fast.  The EU and the head of the ECB Christine Lagarde (who I call Euro Karen) have announced that the entire EU will be under a CBDC by fall.  China basically already is and they also have a “social credit system” to control the population.  Odds are if the EU doesn’t have a social credit score when the Central Bank Digital Euro drops they will soon after.  Dark days indeed.

The Five Best Livestock for the Small Homestead – Epi-3642

Today we are going to look at producing meat and eggs on the homestead. This was something not so uncommon in America just half a century ago. In that time, the practice dwindled as people had smaller families, many small-town Americans moved to larger cities, and fiat money made meat cheap for a time. Over those five decades, though, the quality of our animal-based foods continuously declined while the cost skyrocketed. Even traditionally “cheap” meat cuts have become expensive today. Chicken w

The 15 Biggest Enemies of the People – Epi-3641

We’re constantly told who our enemies are—other nations, political opponents, or whoever the media demonizes today. But the real threats to our freedom and well-being aren’t across the ocean or in the opposite political party. They’re right here, embedded in the systems we rely on every day. In this episode, we break down 15 of the most dangerous institutions and power structures that manipulate, exploit, and control the public.

TSP Rewind – Seeing Permaculture in a Different Light – Epi-287

Most people come to permaculture because of a desire to produce their own food and it is to be fair a huge part of the discipline.  In fact people often say that permaculture is a system of “permanent agriculture”.  This is understandable as even the founders have on occasion said such things or at least things you can interpret this way. The key though is to understand that when David Holmgren and Bill Mollison created this system, it didn’t exist.  While obvious it is the kind of thing we tend

TSP Rewind – The Real Green Revolution Starts in the Backyard – Epi-286

The world is in desperate need of a true “green revolution” but it won’t and can’t come from government.  We won’t get it done by mandating anything or taxing the air you exhale.  All of these state level actions consist of pipe dreams and lies. Worse though is they are an absolute excuse by those who claim to care the most for individual inaction.  Just another version of “tax the rich”.  Today we look at what a true “green society” might look like if everyone did just a little bit to see to th

Bitcoin is Money – Episode-3633

Bitcoin arguments get weird fast. Proponents say never spend it, but imagine saying, “Never spend your money.” Others insist you must spend it to help it gain acceptance—would you ever say, “You have to spend YOUR MONEY to make it legitimate?” Meanwhile, critics call it volatile while ignoring that the dollar has lost 99% of its value. The confusion vanishes when you strip away the hype and just call Bitcoin what it is: money. In this episode, I break down the nonsense from both sides, showing h

Eggs the Real Red Pill – Epi-3629

At first, it seems like an innocent step toward self-sufficiency. Get a few birds, collect some eggs, enjoy better food. But before you know it, you’re staring straight into the cracks of the system. You realize grocery store eggs are garbage, regulations exist just to control you, and suddenly, you’re bartering with neighbors, dodging stupid local ordinanc

The 12 Taxes that Control the World- Epi-3628

Tune in today to hear a conversation about taxes that won’t turn into a political shouting match. We all know taxes exist, but what most people never learn—especially in school—is how they’re designed to influence behavior. Governments don’t just collect taxes to fund things; they use them to push people toward certain choices and away from others. Whether it’s income, property, or sales taxes, each one quietly shapes the way we work, spend, invest, and even live. Yet, hardly anyone stops to thi

Developing a Systems Thinking Mindset – Epi-3574

I have been on some level a systems thinker for most of my life, some components of it are just natural to me.  I would honestly say on the base level it is simply how I think.  When I was 17 I joined the Army and chose the path of being a Heavy Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic and learned systemic trouble shooting, which gave me a formal concept of “systems thinking”, however, I didn’t yet even know the term. In my early days of attempting to build a career I had a lot of friction with people I worked

Can we Really Create a Parallel Society – Epi-3573

We talk about this a lot in the liberty community.  A parallel society a parallel economy, etc, but is it a legitimate goal or what I often refer to as “mental masterbation”.  What I mean by that trope is are we simply telling ourselves a lie so that we feel better about the situation we are in. My view is the answer as is always, is, it depends.  I think for many using the term, it absolutely is a pleasant lie, something comforting with no real demand on us to actually do anything.  The other s

The first time I used the phrase “from home to homestead” on the show was quite a while ago.  How long ago you ask?  That would have been Episode 20 recorded on July 22, 2008.  This concept so resonated with people it became not just a common discussion topic, it actually inspired one couple (Johnny Max and his wife, AKA “The Queen”) to run an entire podcast for a number of years on the concept.

Redefining Education Part Two – Epi-3460

Join me at 13:00 CST as we continue our multi part series on redefining education.  I thought about calling this series “redefining childhood education” and while we will come at it a lot from what we should teach our kids, I am betting most adults may have to learn over half of the things we will talk about in this series as well.

Biology Over Chemistry to Restore Our Planet – Epi-3458

Chemistry and Biology are both wonderful sciences that have done many great things for mankind.  Though like anything that is essentially a tool, some tools are right for somethings but not for others.  When it come to taking care of soils, growing food, grazing animals, cycling nutrients and restoring ecosystems, biology is the right active tool. I say active tool because it isn’t that chemistry isn’t useful at all in these scenarios, rather it is how it can be useful.  Biology is full of chemi

Heading into Fall & Winter on the Homestead – Epi-3387

It is that time of year when things really start to change.  In a lot of the country we still have summer heat but it is fading, the days are shorter, the nights longer and we all know the last quarter of the year tends to fly by in a bit of a blur.  We go from kids trick or treating to turkey dinner to Christmas music in what feel more like weeks then months. Gardens are transitioned for winter or put to bed until spring, live stock has new needs, sometimes some culling.  We tend to focus on pr

Why Are We So Hell Bent on Self Destruction – Epi-3386

If you honestly look at all the major decisions made in the past 10 years by our government and oligarchy, you can only logically conclude we are hell bent on our own destruction.  On some levels all we can do is brace for impact and watch as these idiots head for the cliff.

Saving Future Generations from Self Inflicted Slavery – Epi-3382

Let me pose a question to you: do you genuinely believe that future generations will experience anything close to the freedoms we still enjoy today? Can you envision the liberties children had in, say, 1985, ever being reinstated? Have you pondered the gradual erosion of freedom in our nation? I’m referring to a time long, long ago. It was once said of the Native Americans, before the founding of our nation, that “never have there ever been a people who were so free.” While this holds some truth

Beyond TEOTWAWKI: Building Your Personal Safety Net – Epi-3376

When the phrase “economic collapse” pops up, I often find myself saying, “no, that’s not going to happen.” Well, not the way many envision it, at least. The real deal is that the collapse is already here. It’s a slow burn, affecting us with both constant and sudden hardships. So, instead of getting ready for TEOTWAWKI (the end of the world as we know it), it might be better to prep for TEOYWAYKI (the end of your world as you know it).

This is not a matter of opinion, but a reality we grapple with daily.

In the realm of weather, we often hear the age-old adage, “it’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.” This saying, while rooted in some truth, can sometimes feel oversimplified. Indeed, a sweltering 90 degrees with high humidity might feel more oppressive than 95 degrees with low humidity. However, the reality is that both heat and humidity, individually or combined, can be perilous. They combine to create conditions that can lead to severe health risks, such as heat strokes.

Inflation and Destruction are Here – Epi-3339

I originally spoke about how we were wound up perfectly for a false recovery that would lead to cripling inflation and economic destruction in 2009.  March 9th, 2009 to be exact.  If you go back and look we were sitting near the bottom of the market at that point.  People were claiming that the big one was coming, we were about to go full on economic collapse.
