Episodes 1-75 of The Early Years Now Fully Restored

The Survival Podcast Posted on by

As long time listeners know the growth of the show caused the need for quite a few server migrations.  At this point we are rock solid on our dedicated server but somewhere along the way episodes 1-75, the true early years of the show were lost. Well they were not lost, broken is more accurate of a term.  Fixing this was time consuming but it was a project worth doing.  It required me to manually go through each of the 75 episodes and link them one at a time.  I also reformatted the episodes to the modern formatting we use … Continue reading →

No not the leadership of our vaulted elected officials, our military commanders or even your boss at work.  No today I am talking about personal, family and general community level leadership. Lee Iaccoca wrote a book called “Where Have All The Leaders Gone”, there are some shocking revelations about Cuba and Castro’s multiple attempts to work with the US in it but other than that it is basically a political piece on why we need a new leader in the White House, a real leader who knows what it means to lead. My thought when I hear this question though, … Continue reading →
