Episode 146: 5 Tools to Keep on Your Homestead Mar 13, 2019

Show notes

Because today is a Wednesday, we will be talking about a homesteading topic - and one that is near and dear to many a heart. At the request of Victoria from the LFTN Coffee break group, I thought I would share with you 5 tools that I think every homestead should have - even the off-grid ones. But remember - if you ONLY can have 5 tools on your homestead, these are not they. Rather - these are 5 I truly wanted to highlight and each for a different reason.

Episode 145: REPLAY - Change Your Narrative, Change Your Life Mar 11, 2019

Show notes

Guys, I had one hell of a day today - and mostly not in a good way. By 5pm, I still was unable to record the show. It is rare that so much bad stuff comes up that I cannot record, but it happened today. So a close couple of friends asked me: "Why not do a replay?" And I thought about it and realize this: I NEEDED to re-listen to "Change Your Narrative, Change Your Life," so why not do a replay of that episode for all. We all have weird, yucky stuff happen from time to time - and it is a good reminder to make what you can of it when it does.

Episode 144: Running Your Successful Side Hustle - or Full Time Gig Mar 08, 2019

Show notes

Today, we have a fantastic guest and a fantastic topic. Sue Zoldak founder of The Zoldak Agency joins us to talk about setting up your business for success. Sue started her own ad agency in 2016 due to...client request. She has since gone 36 months without a corporate paycheck. She is also the founder of a networking group she started with 40 friends and now, 5 years later, is 1,400 people deep and one of the most well known in her industry. She is an adjunct professor in digital strategy at George Washington University.

I first met Sue at a workshop we were running and she was positioned to me as a competitor. As it turned out, she was fun to talk with, knew a helluvalot more than I did about digital marketing, and is one of those people who approaches life with a prosperity for all mindset. She saw the client as someone who needed a win and turned into a powerful force to help them as best she could - and she welcomed other people helping them in different ways.

Make it a great week!

Episode 142: TN GSD Crew Strikes Again Mar 04, 2019

Show notes

If you don't know who the TN GSD crew is, they are a group of friends who sometimes get together at one place or another and help kickstart a project. They've done site visits, plans, aquaponics builds, a composting toilet and had lots of fun along the way doing it. So what makes this community different? We will talk about that in today's show as well as ways you can start developing your own community --- or finding one like it.

Episode 141: Thought of the Walk on Technology and Human Behavior Mar 01, 2019

Show notes

Today is Friday and a Thought of the Walk day. It has been a long couple of weeks selling random things and seeking to rent my duplex apartment out and this has gotten me to thinking about how technology is changing human behavior. It may seem like i am down on technology - I am not. But I do think we need to be aware of how we come across when we use it so that we are using the technology, not letting it define us.
