TSP-25 is Moving Back to Nine Mile Farm Sep 24, 2025

Show notes

Well this has been a week from hell and it keeps coming. We just lost the YMCA as a venue for TSP-25 but all is well. We will be simply running this event at our homestead as we have for 11 years now. I really was looking forward to some of the advantages with a commercial venue and additional amenities but there are advantages to being at home too. Less logistics, property walks, no restrictions on drinking, guns and ammo on the barter blanket, etc. That said if anyone who has a ticket decides that this move makes them not … Continue reading →

Show notes

Dr. Ken Berry is back on the show today. If you’ve been around TSP for a while, you know Ken doesn’t pull punches.

Be the Pig Not the Cow – Epi-3736 Sep 23, 2025

Show notes

Today we discuss one of the most important choices you’ll ever make in life: do you want to live like a cow, fat and comfortable inside the wire, or like a pig, always looking for the weak spot in the fence and willing to risk freedom? Cows get managed, herded, and eventually slaughtered, all while thinking the pasture they’re in is “good enough.” Pigs, on the other hand, never stop testing the system. The moment they find a break, they’re gone and in just a generation they’re back to being wild. That’s the metaphor for this episode, and it cuts … Continue reading →

Get Your Ass to the Self Reliance Festival – Oct 4-5 Sep 17, 2025

Show notes

The world feels heavy right now. You know it. I know it. Everybody does. But we don’t do excuses at TSP. Charlie Kirk was murdered last week for doing exactly what we’re supposed to be able to do in America. Voice your opinions. Debate. Stand on convictions. He paid with his life. That’s not “shocking.” That’s what happened. The rules have been made quite clear. So here’s the real question: are you going to let that make you smaller? Quieter? More afraid? Or are you going to find your tribe and double down on living free? If you choose the … Continue reading →

Streaming’s First Click to the Creator Economy with Patrick Seaman – Epi-3733 Sep 17, 2025

Show notes

Today I’m joined by a guy I’ve known for almost 30 years. Back in the 90s I was selling and designing data centers for companies diving into the digital deep end. One of those companies was Broadcast.com, and one of my main contacts was Patrick Seaman. He was employee number one at a company that helped kick the doors open on internet streaming before most people even knew what it was. We’ve kept in touch ever since. And now, he’s got a new book out called Streaming Wars that tells the whole story from the inside. If you’ve ever streamed … Continue reading →

12 Reasons we Suck as a Species – Epi-3732 Sep 16, 2025

Show notes

Every species hits rough patches. But we’ve gone way past that. Right now, humans aren’t just flailing we’re actively sabotaging ourselves. We’re a species that put men on the moon and split the atom, yet we can’t even agree on what a man or woman is anymore. We pretend to be enlightened while drowning in stupidity. What used to be common sense is now considered controversial. Our priorities are upside down, our institutions are crumbling, and most people are too distracted by dopamine hits and outrage culture to notice or care. This episode isn’t about doom and gloom. It’s a … Continue reading →
