Today we discuss one of the most important choices you’ll ever make in life: do you want to live like a cow, fat and comfortable inside the wire, or like a pig, always looking for the weak spot in the fence and willing to risk freedom? Cows get managed, herded, and eventually slaughtered, all while thinking the pasture they’re in is “good enough.” Pigs, on the other hand, never stop testing the system. The moment they find a break, they’re gone and in just a generation they’re back to being wild. That’s the metaphor for this episode, and it cuts … Continue reading →

When I talk to people and they ask what I do and I tell them I run a podcast I get three very common questions…. How do you make money doing that? What is your podcast about? What is it called? ` When I answer that third question with “The Survival Podcast”, it almost always starts a conversation that begins with some quite inaccurate assumptions by the person I am talking to.  Whether they are of a prepper mind set or not it tends to be the same angle.  “End of the world” type stuff.  I instantly shift into explaining … Continue reading →

Today we discuss my personal 12 rules of business. Like many of my rules they are not exactly mine, rather those I learned from others and experience over the years. So many people seem to want to have a business but they either approach it without discipline or simply don’t know what to do so they never start. Many of my rules seem to oppose the experts, for example I do say follow your passion and many “experts” say that is a bad idea.  They say seek a business that serves a market that has high demand, forget your passion.  … Continue reading →

The first time I used the phrase “from home to homestead” on the show was quite a while ago.  How long ago you ask?  That would have been Episode 20 recorded on July 22, 2008.  This concept so resonated with people it became not just a common discussion topic, it actually inspired one couple (Johnny Max and his wife, AKA “The Queen”) to run an entire podcast for a number of years on the concept. I realized while we talk a ton about the concept of homesteading we have not looked at it from this angle in a while, so … Continue reading →

Join us today for an unfiltered, ass-kicking exploration as we identify the ‘wall of can’t’ in your life and strategize on dynamiting a massive breach right through it.

Drawing inspiration from historical feats like Roger Bannister’s 4-minute mile and the audacious free climb of El Capitan’s Dawn Wall, we delve deep into the mindset that transforms “I can’t” into “I can.” Join Me Today to Discuss… The … Continue reading →

I see 2023 in two ways.  The first is a coming economic shit storm like nothing most living Americans have ever seen.  I am talking get ready to reminisce about the good old days, like the dot com crash and the 08-09 recession.  The other side is extreme opportunity for those who are prepared for it. Now before you get too excited about the “opportunity”, I have a question are you prepared for it.  The goal of the Fed right now is to cap inflation and do so by causing a recession on purpose.  The Fed believes it can do this … Continue reading →

We had a great episode of Unloose the Goose last night talking about countering the technocracy with our own technology and our own lifestyle decisions.  We discussed a variety of options including cryptocurrency, food production and a variety of other things.  One thing we all agreed about though was entrepreneurship.  It was actually the linchpin that made many other techniques doable. Then today I saw this great video by Angler Up with Brant fishing with a fellow content creator known as Bama Beach Bum, it was a typical great vid on Brant’s channel but what got me most was the … Continue reading →

“Follow your passion”, has become a catch phrase of both modern business gurus and modern spiritual gurus.  It is actually one case where the gurus have it right.  You absolutely should follow your passion, 100%, but the sad reality is, most people don’t have a damn clue what their passion is. It gets worse.  If you want to know the answer to a math problem, there is an answer and someone can give it to you.  If you want to know the best shovel to buy, it may be opinion but I can tell you about a shovel that will … Continue reading →
