E17: ENTITLEMENT BEATDOWN Apr 01, 2018

Show notes

Everyone, at some point in their life is humiliated. The best form of humiliation is an entitlement beat down. Most of the time this is not literal, but for me it was. Learning through a personal, humiliating experience that you are not everything you thought. It's an opportunity you can either embrace and become stronger from, or let it ruin your future. It's a self-check that's exposed by external forces. I personally had two experiences that were humbling and put me in my place.

WAM1: FEAR CREEPING IN Mar 29, 2018

Show notes

There has been a rumbling below our feet, and that low hum... that uncomfortable vibration you feel in your body is the foundation this country was built on being stripped away brick by brick. Since when did our teenage offspring become more in enlightened then our forefathers. Since when did the voices of children who have lived in this bubble and who have never seen war and tyranny, who have only lived in a time where technology has become a false God. Since when?

There is a war going on it's taking place inside the hearts and minds of not just America's youth, but of the people of this nation.

Fear has caused tear in the fabric we call America a tear that has been caused by the sharp edges of the bricks being torn down.

E13: GANJA GREEN RUSH Mar 04, 2018

Show notes

Perception premeditates judgement. But without total 360 degree education, the way we perceive something is solely based off life experiences, what we've been taught, and this formulates what we believe and what we perceive. What if I told you that our entire nation has been brainwashed for generations. That what we've been taught about certain things are just not true, that government, rules, and laws are not always just and not always right. That money and business truly are the defining factors that drive decisions which influence the rest of us.

E12: SLUSH, MUD AND MEDIA Feb 25, 2018

Show notes

As I got in my truck to pick up a coffee, and some supplies from our local farmers union, I decided to route my path home on back roads. Most of these back roads are still dirt roads, not extremely well maintained. The only music I listen to on the road is the noise in my own mind, I almost always drive in silence thinking about this place, my family, business, Friends, opportunities. It's my time to meditate through reflection and prayer.

So I was driving slow with my window cracked trying to get the perfect balance of heat in the vehicle mixing with the air outside. While driving I could feel the snow loosen up and turn to slush, mixing with thawing mud... and my tires were lifting the slush from the road and throwing it against my truck's undercarriage. My coffee was still a little too hot to drink, but I was entranced by this mix of the outside cold wind hitting my forehead, the warm heater air hitting my face, the sound of the slush on the road, the smell of thawing mud, and the hot coffee in my hand. As I crested the hill overlooking the mountains the sun started to breach the clouds and hit me in the face at the perfect moment of my trance, which heightened all my senses.
