Over the weekend, I took a trek on up to Cincinnati to check out the first ever Rogue Food Conference and it was a great reminder to stand strong when things seem to be stacked against you. So many people with many of the same problems gathered together under the hopes of finding solutions that may or may not be there. So today I share with you ten ways to go rogue. Tales from the Prepper Pantry Sweet potato chili Planning meals around what is left in the pantry: Green beans, tomato, corn, peaches, pickled items, squash, sweet potato, onions Time for the midwinter freezer defrosting project Monthly dry good and feed order is working well What's in Season Oyster mushrooms Watercress Root forage Operation Independence The return of Finance Friday Taxes Main topic of the Show: Ten Ways to Go Rogue Take aways There are ways to get around seemingly endless lists of lists of regulations - sometimes simple ones. But you need to educate yourself on your local laws and find them. People will not believe you when you tell them the scales of bad that gets hurled your way when you stand up for what is right. We need to get better at telling the story. It is hard to stand up on your own against an uncivil and unjust bureaucracy. It is easier to stand up when people are by your side. Therefore, we must do a better job of standing up with our brothers and sisters against the machine that is enforcing rules for the sake of rules and to further itself as a bureaucracy. 10 ways to go rogue Grow your own food Process your own food Establish a food church Establish a food cooperative (Membership organization) Retain ownership in animals with those you sell them to Don't invite inspectors in to begin with Explore waste streams Start spreading stories of how healthy food is being kept from people who want it in favor of unhealthy food (Collect and repeat these stories) Skip the start up grants Find ways to buy food from sources that have gone rogue Make it a great week!

Today is Friday so we have an interview show with Tim Cook all about how to start your handyman business with what you have, rather than waiting until you can afford the next great tool before you begin. Main content of the show Tim Cook is one of those weirdos that loves the cold and really doesn't mind the heat. He gave up working for the man nearly two years ago. At the encouragement of his wife Becky he turned his side hustle into a full time gig. Together with the help of their 9 year old twin girls, they run All-Seasons Maintenance. A small town handyman business in the frozen tundra that is East Central Alberta. Tim's Facebook Page Tim's Youtube Make it a great week! GUYS!

It occurred to me as I went over my January budget that clutter has a negative impact on your budget - so I wanted to talk a bit about that today in the Thought of the Walk episode. Reminder: Sue Zoldak is offering webinars on increasing your digital visibility a series of three and the first one will be January 29. Based on the online polling, we do not have clarity on what works best: Midday or evening so I will schedule them in alternating slots. These sessions are $50 each but if you are a member, you get one included with your plan. If you are a premium member, you get all three. I expect to launch registration for them next week so keep your eyes on your inbox. Also - Spring workshop tickets go on sale in ONE WEEK! Saturday, January 17, at 9am CT to members. Make sure you can log in because to get first wack at them you will need to be able to do that. The registration link will appear in the side menu of your membership portal.
