Shattering the InstaGram Homestead Fantasy- Epi-3837 Apr 29, 2026

Show notes

Aly Nickling Riddle joins me today to break down why so many people fall in love with the idea of homesteading and then walk away from it a few years later. A lot of people get hooked by what they see on a screen, fresh eggs, clean gardens, slow mornings, and a sense of freedom. What they don’t see is the grind behind it. In this episode we get into the gap between the fantasy and the reality. We talk about why so many people quit, the bad decisions made before land is even bought, and the hard truth about … Continue reading →

How the 5AM Architecture Changed My World – Epi-3836 Apr 28, 2026

Show notes

I have dripped bits and bobs about a practice I began and then further developed in my life beginning in November last year. I had not wanted to really go deep into it on air until I first had a chance to present it in a more public live audience situation. That all just happened as when Nicole Sauce asked me to present at LFTN-26 it is the topic she asked me to talk about. Well, I have just returned so today what you will get is a slightly longer version of the presentation I just gave in Tennessee. Some … Continue reading →

Critical Thinking and Issue Analysis – TSP Rewind – Epi-316 Apr 23, 2026

Show notes

Today I want to discuss the concept of critical thinking and how we are often led by those in power. How many “issues” are presented to divide us yet they really shouldn’t. Most if actually examined critically would result in people either realizing the issue doesn’t matter and nothing should be done, or in general agreeing on the solution. Those in charge can’t have this, a people divided are easily led, in fact a divided people given their consent to being controlled, having liberty taken and are in general okay with the oppression of their fellow man. Way back in … Continue reading →

Show notes

In this episode from 2012 we discussed what I call “the great lie of dichotomy” and while 14 years have passed you will soon see that very little has changed at least in regard to this concept.

Likely as in most instances when I speak my mind I will tick some of you off, hence I ask you to listen to the second … Continue reading →

Understanding Money Part One – Epi-3833 Apr 14, 2026

Show notes

My hope today is to help you understand money from as many new perspectives as possible. If you think about it nothing in general has a greater effect on the lives of most Americans than money. Money is why we work, how we provide our housing and food, how we are taxed and how our class structure is defined. We can deny this if we choose to but a family with a gross income of 100,000 dollars a year lives a much more comfortable life than one with a gross income of say 25,000 a year. Yet if you ask … Continue reading →
