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, and six simple ways you can scale your eating habits to match your goals. Plus, … Continue reading →

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 crypto with a Bitcoin reserve and stablecoin banking. This isn’t collapse — it’s the start of a … Continue reading →

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 this kind of thinking turns waste into abundance, simplifies inputs, and stacks functions like crazy. … Continue reading →

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. Hold the phone though, what is going on in the US?  The US government is adopting Bitcoin as an economic reserve, bringing Stable Coins under the … Continue reading →

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 wings, chuck roast, pork ribs, etc., used to be hidden gems of value. Today, they sell for what ribeye … Continue reading →

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. From Big Food and Big Pharma keeping people sick to central banks devaluing wealth, from unelected bureaucracies writing laws to public sector unions protecting incompetence, the real enemies of the people … Continue reading →
