I did this episode back in 2012 when I stated I wanted to do some more shows on firearms topics I was flooded with emails by new shooters that all basically said some version of this… “Jack can you do a very basics style show that explains what all these calibers and rounds mean.  Sometimes when you are talking about a firearms subject I am fine then you start saying something like the 38 special is 35 caliber and I just don’t get it.  Or that a 40 S&W is equivalent to a 10mm in a carbine.  None of this … Continue reading →

When I did this episode back in 22012 ut was because I got a ton of emails on an article called. 8 Personal Finance Lessons from Benjamin Franklin that was published on the very cool blog, The Art of Manliness. Several dozen of you told me that this article sounded like 8 things I say often on TSP. So rather than read the article at all I decided to do the show based just on the 8 tenets of Franklin and see how much in sync we really are or are not. One thing for sure old Ben’s advice seems … Continue reading →

There are two types of people who create content especially in the freedom, liberty and preparedness space.  There are those that tell you what you want to be told for the purpose of getting you to listen to them.  Some of these people even end up believing their own bullshit.  The second type is those who tell you the truth even if it upsets you and makes you want to not listen to them. I try to always be the second kind even when I am telling you things I do not want to be true.  For many years I … Continue reading →
