S10 E10: Busting Beef Myths with Diana Rodgers Sep 26, 2022

Show notes

Suppose you’ve wondered why an anti-meat agenda is being pushed nationwide. In that case, you need to listen to my talk today with Diana Rodger, registered dietitian, former research biochemist, and co-author of the book Sacred Cow (and the documentary of the same name).

She walks us out of what she calls “carbon tunnel vision,” and explains in very simple terms why well-raised meat is good for us and our planet.

S10 E8: Could You Spend 1000 Hours Outside? With Ginny Yurich Sep 12, 2022

Show notes

Today I'm chatting with the creator of the 1000 Hours outside movement. Ginny offers hands-on, practical ways to get your children off of electronics and out in nature while also inspiring you to do the same. She encourages us that our kids can do less of those "enriching activities," that sometimes cost a fortune, and yet gain so much more... all from more time in nature.

S10 E7: Stop Being Comfortable with Michael Easter Sep 05, 2022

Show notes

I'm thrilled to be talking with Michael Easter today, an award-winning journalist, contributing editor at Men’s Health magazine, and author of The Comfort Crisis.
Michael breaks down how our world has gotten more and more "comfortable" since the Industrial Revolution, why this isn't necessarily a good thing, and why more folks today need to do what homesteaders, as a natural inclination, tend to do... challenge themselves and lean into "hard."

S10 E4: Pushing Back Against Consumer Culture with Shannon Hayes Aug 15, 2022

Show notes

Join in on my conversation with the author of Radical Homemakers and Redefining Rich as she breaks down the meaning of "homemaker" in ways you've never thought of.
In today's episode, Shannon and I talk about how a true homemaker learns skills so she is free to live by the principles that are most important to her, all the while working through the important steps of renouncing, reclaiming, and rebuilding, and figuring out what these steps look like for her.
Shannon and I talk about what it looks like to grapple with the macro issues and the micro issues, and in all that chaotic imperfection, to find happiness and redefine "wealth."

Rory Feek joins me today to talk about why we think our current generation is the most depressed one that's ever lived and how we can slowly go about opting out of the systems, even without a detailed plan. We talk about how we can, one step at a time, become more autonomous and independent, while simultaneously investing more in the community.

Show notes

Today we have a fascinating guest, Lenore Skenazy, the author of the book Free-Range Kids andthe founder of a nonprofit that is making it easy, normal, and legal to give kids independence.
We're diving into an intriguing topic of free-range kids and the impact it has on them when adults mitigate all risks. We'll talk about how as a society we got where we are, with parents afraid to let their kids play in the front yard or walk to the corner. And we'll outline practical steps parents can take to give kids a free-range lifestyle--outside and off of electronics--no matter where they live, from a rural homestead to a bustling city.
