Diego Footer is the founder and CEO of the Permaculture Voices Conference and Podcast where his goal is to go out and motivate and inspire people to push the limits, do great work, and live the life that they want to live through permaculture principles.
I met Diego though Paul Wheaton a bit over a year ago when he first came up with the concept for the Permaculture Voices conference. The first conference was an amazing success, especially since it was the first event Diego had ever done.
He is now getting ready for the second conference, PV2 and joins us today to discuss that along with his podcast. We also discuss in depth what it takes to build a business, any business if you want to be successful. We dig deep into many of the lessons he has learned interviewing permaculturists who have started successful and profitable businesses over the past year.

Bob Wells Plant of the Week – The Mayhaw Tree – Adaptable from zone 6 to zone 9 The Mayhaw tree is a small native fruit tree. This showy tree is primarily found in bottom land and along the river’s edge. It is known for its love of water but will grow well in your yard or home garden, as well.
The Mayhaw produces best in partial to full sun locations and is self-fertile. The small cranberry-like fruits are highly prized for making the best jellies, preserves, and syrups. Eaten fresh, it tastes like a crabapple. Mayhaw jelly has been a delicacy in the southeast for generations and a Mayhaw tree will make a fine addition to your landscape.
Plant your Mayhaw tree in a prominent spot to show off its beautiful pure white early blooms and attractive red berries that appear in May. Bob Wells Nursery specializes in anything edible: fruit trees, berry plants, nut trees, as well as the hard to find specialty trees. Find them at BobWellsNursery.com
Also remember we have an expert council you can address your calls to. If you do this you should email me right after your call at jack at thesurvivalpodcast.com with expert council call in the subject line.

Haven’t listened to it yet but the Permaculture Voices Podcast has been a great resource. Thank you Diego for putting it out there.
You’re welcome. Thanks for listening.
I hope they make the powerpoints available. The videos last time were not as good as they could have been with the slides.
We aren’t recording video this year. And on the slides, I acknowledge that. That is my fault. The goal is to update the videos at some point with the slides of the speakers who agreed to submit their slides.
Thanks Diego. last year was great. I think audio would be great. audio and powerpoint would be even better. 🙂
I have really been enjoying your podcasts Diego! Keep up the good work and inspiration.
Epic ++++

Regarding the video, possibly. Shoot me an email on that.
Great show guys!
Every time you have a podcast like this it is very inspirational and I am trying to move into a direction in the permacaulture industry. I absolutely love the small scale stuff you guys come up with IE microgreens and that stuff. Your podcast has truly helped me put a direction on my energies that I have.

Loved this show. Learned a lot.
Great show! I drive a ton, and only listen to podcasts anymore; so I need more than just Jack’s show. The PV podcast has become another must-listen podcast for me.
A techy detail, but could you share how you captured the audio for this interview? It is bar-none, the best audio-quality interview I have ever heard on any podcast; and I’m guessing you guys are not in the same room. I know you both have exceptional microphones, but how did you capture the audio? It almost sounds like you each recorded local audio and Diego sent you the audio file. But did you capture it in one stream?
I was doing the same as always. Samson CO1U mic which is a low end condenser USB mic. Recording from Skype to Pamela.
What made it great is Diego also has a good mic and is set up to podcast.
My end is always the same, with guests it is a crap shoot. Some are on headsets and skype and many times lap tops suck ass for that. You get back static. Some can’t use skype and I have to call a phone, they are always soft and I have to boost them. You boost audio and you also boost noise. etc.
This was such a great show. The difference between a dreamer and a do-er and drawing out a plan.
Once my son is older, my husband and I will be going to the voices conference! I’ve heard such stellar reviews.
Great podcast. My two favorite podcasters on the same show!
Thanks Ron. 🙂
Jack, I may be missing it but what is the process to submit the essay? I see the contest link but it doesn’t say it is for pv. I want to let the permaculture ohio group on fb know about it and I want tho make sure before I do so. Thanks, Jeff RN on Zello.
Well what was said in the episode? Send it to me in an email with Permaculture Voices in the subject line. So um, yea, um, do that. LOL
Sorry. I was studying while listening! Thanks, I will let the group know.
Jack,
How do you compress your audio files sizes? Diego’s podcasts are averaging about 75 mb while yours are around 25 mb.
I just encode at 32kbps which most podcasters won’t due because they are concerned about audio quality. That quality that I use is about as good as FM Radio though, its a podcast! I see that as more than good enough.
Permaculture Voices is now added to my top 5 favorite podcasts. Thanks Jack for having Diego on!
