I have started a new MSB Video series about our work with Nine Mile Farm which is Dorothy’s new farmstead business and the work we are doing, the results we are having and the way we are marketing and building a customer base.

We want to make these videos really cool for members of the Support Brigade, so after watching it please be sure to leave questions and comments for what you want to see in next weeks updates.

The purpose of these videos is to give MSB members a behind the scenes look at what we do at the the Spirko homestead and with the operations of the TSP business itself. This will generally be things that we are reserving for our private members only.

All the MSB Only Videos videos are posted to Vimeo and are password protected.

The pass code will be the same for all videos and it is prominently displayed on the main page of your MSB Private Area. If you ask for the password or tell me a you can’t see the video in the comments here, you comment will be ignored.  

You will see it as soon as you log in. You can’t miss it. It is in BOLD RED at the top of the page when you log in.

The video is located at https://vimeo.com/115838178

Remember you can always find all our MSB Only Videos at https://www.thesurvivalpodcast.com/tag/msbvids
