Today we discuss principle one of modern survival philosophy, “Everything you do to prepare for disaster should improve your position in life even if nothing ever goes wrong.” Today I give you the background on where that principle came from, how I was inspired by many already living by it but just not putting it that way yet.  I tell you the story of my slumber during my years of success and what led me to forget what I knew to be true.  How over time many events led me to reconnect with what I was taught about frugality, common … Continue reading →

My question though is “do you hide who you are”?  Clearly I can’t, by doing this show I must put myself out there. Yesterday this show and I were featured in the … Continue reading →
