Episode 568 - Find Your Special Sauce
Today, we dive deeper into a concept that came out at the LFTN Spring Workshop: Finding and embracing your Special Sauce. Exit and Build Land Summit Self Reliance Festival May Webinar: Assessing Your Land For Security, May 22 at 4pm CT Chicken Processing Workshop Tales from the Prepper Pantry The last two jars of 2019 and some discolored beets from 2020 Swimming in lettuce and greens Onion Flowers in salad Road food: fd cheese, cold cuts, left overs Chicken Recipe: Tuscan Chicken with Ginger and ham Frugal Tip https://www.bobvila.com/articles/how-to-make-foaming-hand-soap/ Operation Independence Launched the chicken processing workshop Using pigs to hopefully seal a pond Main topic of the Show: Find Your Special Sauce Why? What do I mean by Special Sauce I started out as a food blogger – ended up a podcaster and facilitator. How to find it: What do you love? What do you hate? What are your naturally great at? What are you naturally bad at? What do other people tell you you are good at? What have you tried? Why did it succeed or fail? When you are happiest, what are you doing? Why does this make you happy? Wait 2 weeks and review Tear this down to its base elements Ex - happy at the farmers market (great at talking to people, tells good stories, quickly establishes trust, etc) Happy in the Garden (comfortable being alone, excellent observation skills, etc) >>>Go out and try, learn, refine, analyze until you find your Special Sauce or Sauces I started out as a food blogger – ended up a podcaster and facilitator. Used to sing rock n roll Started a food blog (could NOT motivate) Became a facilitator and story expert Tried podcasting for the heck of it Realized some things: Performer, facilitator, teacher and storytelling with a heavy musical/verbal focus = podcasting and teaching, not blogging and WRITING. My special sauce is Story Telling, Connecting People/networking (from others), Reading People/Facilitating. Membership Plug MeWe reminder Make it a great week! Song: GUYS!

Replay Episode 278: Live the Life You Want
Today we have a replay of a recap of what the LFTN community and podcast are all about. Enjoy! Link to old post There are so many new listeners that I thought it would be worthwhile to talk about our tagline: Helping you build the life you choose on your terms. Lots of people think this podcast is about homesteading, about cooking good food, about liberty and freedom – and it is. We do tons on starting and growing your own business, side hustles and more. But when you dig right into things a little deeper, you will discover the LFTN is about choosing the life you want to live, then setting yourself up to go there. The life I choose to live is in the country, but this approach works in the city and all over the world. The hardest part of doing it is accepting that you CAN do it.

Replay Episode 279: Build Your Pantry Right Away
This episode was recorded in March 2020 right before lockdowns were enacted. This was the year of the great TP shortage and folks who had never thought about having more than a few days’ worth of food on hand were thrust into keeping several weeks on hand. As we turn the corner into supply chain problems, this topic has again arisen. Please enjoy this replay episode on how to build a deep pantry right away rather than over time - which is the better way. Link to original Post Episode 279: Build Your Pantry the Right Way 2 episodes to listen to Prepare for Carona Virus in 7 Days (9 days ago) Organize your pantry Load from the back, take from the front - as in the grocery stores Avocado Oil Example Now they are out of it at the store due to service interruptions -- NBD Never needed to do this but did not have a large family You will find yourself knowing how much of a thing you use The food journal (1 month) Take advantage of sales too!
