Right now if I am to be blunt and I always am, this country is screwed, it will take a least a generation to correct course, if we have that long.  I don’t know that we do, but we should start now, because the truth is we should have started 25 years ago.  Kind of like the best time to plant a tree. The original show was titled 10 Steps to Restoring America – Epi-2968 and was first published on 8-...

The origi...

This was likely one of the most important podcasts I have ever done. The truth is this process is at work in your life, and you either use if for good or it hurts you.  Understand that the human mind is the most powerful computer in the known universe.  Something I have discussed on the podcast many times, but I dug deeper into how this power is dangerous when ignored or misused in this episode.

In this episode we discussed theories and quotes from ten great thinkers.  As we do we will see a lot of things we think are new, are not.  We will also lean that many things we spend time and energy on are simply a waste of both.  There are things we can do with impact but society has laid many traps to direct our efforts into meaningless distractions. We will be talking about such visionaries an...

Talking to some of my fellow podcasters, content creators and influencers lately I have heard many of them say things like, “I don’t even bother red pilling people any more”.  I often wonder if any of us have actually ever successfully “red pilled? anyone, ever? For people not familiar with the term it comes from the movie the Matrix and simply means to reach someone who has believed the lies of m...

In this episode we talked about various ways to cook and prepare venison and perhaps some other types of fish and game.

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. I...
