Today we discuss the concept of lifestyle design, which has been a core piece of TSP since the very first days of our journey.  Many credit author and entrepreneur Tim Ferris with this concept.  I love Tim and have followed his work for years.  There is no doubt that he is a big part of the movement today, but he simply made people aware of the concept.  The concept itself is as old as civilization. There have always been people who have lived differently then others, more disciplined and with a plan for their life.  For instance the 1926 classic … Continue reading →

In the spring and early summer talk a walk in the garden section of any big store or even typical smaller plant nurseries.  Mostly you see peppers, tomatoes, squash, cucumbers and a few other veggies and herbs. There are so many other options though and many are tougher than our stand alone favorites.  Fore instance so many people love growing tomatoes but in many areas they are plagued by early and late blight.  You can usually get a decent yield and then you hit a wall, well why not grow tomatillos instead.  They make fantastic salsa, are great grilled and … Continue reading →

Today I’m joined by CJ Killmer, host of the Dangerous History Podcast, for a hard look at where America might be headed as tensions and political violence keep rising. A lot of people compare our current divide to the Civil War, but CJ makes a strong case that’s the wrong model. Instead, he points to the Troubles in Northern Ireland, a messy, decades-long conflict that mixed politics, religion, and insurgency in ways that feel a lot closer to what a modern breakdown could look like. CJ knows this history inside and out. He studied the British Empire and Irish history … Continue reading →

This episode pulls back the curtain on one of the biggest lies in modern economics, that welfare helps the poor. In reality, every dollar that enters a government program eventually ends up in corporate hands. The rich use debt to buy assets and generate tax-free income. The poor use debt to survive and never escape it. From SNAP to Medicaid, the system recycles money upward through low wages, processed food, and pharmaceutical profits. We’ll break down how this loop works: taxpayers fund assistance programs, benefits go to workers whose employers rely on those subsidies, and the corporations collecting those dollars … Continue reading →

We are going to cover a variety of topics today but our lead story is going to be a coming inflection point with the government shutdown.  On Nov. 1st  SNAP Benefits (food stamps) will stop unless the government shutdown ends or the congress passes some sort of exception.  Translation, 40 million plus people will stop getting free food.  Many of these people do not see these benefits as charity at this point, rather something they are entitled to.  Additionally history has show the worse political riots (where people actually target government) occur over food.
