Most people get fired up about problems without ever asking if what they are looking at is actually the problem or just a symptom of something deeper. It is easier to get mad at what is visible than to trace it back to the cause. But if you are always treating symptoms, all you are really doing is staying sick in a slightly more comfortable way. In this episode, I walk through three examples that almost everyone is familiar with. Healthcare, college, and housing. These are not the only places this shows up, they are just easy to see. The … Continue reading →

The allure of great ideas often leads to procrastination, stifling personal growth. Merely having an idea is worthless without action, and this mindset can drag you down. The podcast emphasizes the importance of execution and the need to confront inertia. There's a critique of focusing on untested concepts and a strong push for commitment and accountability. The hosts share insights on letting go of impractical ideas, enhancing creativity through both successes and failures, and the values of self-reliance in personal growth.

From water flow to workflow, we’ll unpack how subtle design decisions can make or … Continue reading →

Today we talk about the LA riots and how they are already spreading to other cities.  Of course this is all 100% coordinated centrally planned.  We will talk about what “nothing stops this train” really means and why it is not a good thing. Then what you can do about all this as to building a better future for yourself and end with a harsh dose of reality.  Today’s episode is not for the feint of heart, those clinging to denial or anyone who wants someone else to fix their problems.  In many ways this will be a “vintage TSPC … Continue reading →

Today we’re diving into one of the most overlooked but powerful tools in the self-reliance toolbox: growing mushrooms at home. Not some niche hobby, not some weird hippie project, but a legitimate food production system you can run in your kitchen, spare room, or even a closet. Fast results, scalable, cheap to start, and packed with benefits most people never even think about. We’re talking about a complete protein that grows on trash, in small spaces, with little more than humidity, light, and time. Mushrooms like oyster and lion’s mane can replace grocery store purchases and even mimic the flavors … Continue reading →
