Matt Kleopfer joins us today to discuss the impact of technology on children and families. Matt grew up as a stereotypical midwest farm kid, but like most decided to ditch the farm for a college indoctrination and pursued music and education. After 2 college degrees, Matt grabbed his helmet and shovel and headed for the trenches of public government education in a small rural Kansas town. After sp...

Just a week ago I was inspired by the awesome Curtis Stone to reply to one of his videos and an idea formed.  What if a group of podcasters dedicated to liberty in every meaningful way from permaculture, to education reform, to well, everything came together to tackle the big problems in a new way. Rather then telling you what solutions we think you should use, we simply discuss them, in a way des...

I want to talk about a new initiative I am working on today in bringing together sort of a podcast mastermind group.  Then I want to prime that by giving my potential solutions for the current flawed system of so called “public” education. There is no doubt that the modern education system is in trouble, in decline and headed off the rails.  Part of me is very excited about this, there...

I would say that the most current crises of CoVid and the Riots should be the final nail in the coffin if you have not already seen the writing on the wall.  Life in large cities is just not a good life for humans, it is no longer necessary to make a good living and truthfully it just keeps getting worse. And as the title indicates as bad as they are, they really are not the final straw as that re...

I was told today that I needed to do less about plants and yes, this is a quote, “Jack, Don’t mean to sound negative, but our country is burning down!! I know you get excited about new plants. We need to concentrate on proven things now. Time to get back to basics!!” I have to say I was up in the air about what to discuss today until I got this email and it shoved me right into plants...

Joseph Simcox was awesome on yesterday’s show and after talking to him I looked up more of his stuff.  I found this amazing 3 part garden tour on YouTube and listened to all of it and selected 12 plants inspired by it for today’s show. This stuff is right up my alley and I know it is for many of you.  While you have heard me talk about some of these before many of them are brand new to...

His premise is that humans “con...

I wanted to get off this subject today but the mounting evidence that almost everything we did was wrong is coming though like a massive dam broke at this point.  We have more studies saying asymptomatic spread is not likely, we have a conclusive trend in Sweden with no massive death spike coming.  We have more antibody testing being reported, we have had states now open for three weeks without a...

We have reached a point where the cure is more dangerous then the disease and I feel it is getting worse daily.  Right now I feel every day we stay shut down will add 10 days to the time needed to rebound and that number is going to continue to grow. John Pugliano and I have been trading some thoughts on this so I asked him to come on air today for a frank and broad discussion on what the future m...

Two guys I really like (Vin Armani and Pete Quinones) have been trading some thoughts on counter economics recently.  Pete said something like, “Any strategy to defeat the expanding technocracy that does not include counter-economics should be rethought, or abandoned.” Which Vin responded to with, “A successful countereconomics strategy won’t defeat the expanding technocrac...

New normal is a phrase being tossed around a lot lately.  I find it usually used to get the sheep in line.  When the market crashed in 08, dolts like Susie Orman used it to explain to you why you should now work until you are 75 or 80 to retire.  Proving that she was totally useless to anyone who had not already figured it out. Today “new normal” seems designed to condition you to expe...

I am gonna say it isn’t really a true buyer’s market right now, not based on the prices I see.  It is much more so than it was 18 months ago but super great deals are not everywhere, YET. Yet?  Yes yet!  They are coming and I am going to discuss why the market is always good for smart buyers all the time anyway.  That said, trust me, the recovery no matter how good it is, if it is the...

I have made spot on calls about CoVid and frankly I blew a big one.  It was of course how draconian the government response to it would become.  While the government is doing exactly what I said they would do in a pandemic almost a decade ago, the current virus is not something that warrants such a response. That was my opinion early on and it is now my opinion at the current time. I remained open...
