"How do you find a community of like-minded people who share your beliefs?" I get this question a lot and my answer might surprise you.

• Common questions about creating community
• Tensions and drama that occurred recently about community on social media
• Community vs. inner circle (and the topic of influence)

Here on the podcast we talk a lot about choosing an old-fashioned path. Sometimes that’s skills like cooking or gardening, but other times, it’s a definitive choice in how we choose to think and move through life. I believe one of the most powerful old-fashioned practices we can adopt is to push against the modern victim mindset. 

Today I’m thrilled to be joined by Mike Roberts of The Converse Cowboy. We’re diving deep into mental toughness, battling the resistance, and more in this philosophical episode!

While there are many ways to squirrel away food for later, one of the most old-fashioned options is fermentation. However, this method is often shrouded in mystery... Is it really safe? What if it tastes weird? What if you don't have a root cellar? How do fermented foods compare to probiotics? 

Wild fermentation revivalist Jamie Powell joins me in this podcast episode to answer all these questions and more!

Our modern era has wreaked havoc on many aspects of our health, but perhaps nothing is as concerning as what conventional life is doing to our guts. 

In this podcast episode, I'm joined by holistic nutritionist and gut health guru Josh Dech to take a DEEP dive into why America has some of the worst gut health in the world. Josh is excellent at explaining these topics in a practical, tactical, and interesting way. Plus, he blew my mind with the facts around a common parasite-- don't miss this one!

He's back! I had SO much positive feedback from my first interview with lard evangelist Charles Mayfield, I had to have him join me for another conversation. Last time we talked all things pastured pork, so this time we're talking next steps.

It's every homesteader's dream to quit their job and become completely self-sufficient selling eggs & soap from their homestead.

The bad news? It's almost impossible to make a full-time income from selling eggs & soap.
The good news? It's entirely possible to make real money from your small farm-- you just need a strategy.

In this episode, I'm joined by farmer and business coach Michael Kilpatrick to bust through the common misconceptions around making money from a farm so you can make actual money instead!

In my travels across the Internet, I hear the topic of pollination coming up more and more. While I think most of us are aware of the decline in bee populations, I want to get to the heart of the issue today. 

In this podcast episode, I'm joined by the brilliant Kim Eierman, author and ecological gardener, to discuss what’s really going on with the decrease in pollinators, how can we introduce plants into our gardens and landscapes that SOLVE problems, and how you can plant your own pollinator victory garden.

Why do modern homes fail to capture our imagination like old houses do? How are fast food and "fast homes" related? 

Master builder and craftsman, Brent Hull, joins me for this fantastic interview to discuss how we moved from beautiful, traditional homes into "instant houses" and how we can bring timeless style back into our spaces (and why it matters). You won't want to miss this conversation!

There’s movement CALORIES and movement NUTRITION--once you understand the difference, you’ll never look at “exercise” the same way again.

I’m joined by biomechanics and best-selling author Katy Bowman in this episode where we unpack our compartmentalized modern view of movement and explore how to take an old-fashioned approach to healthier bodies, better mobility, and less pain as we work around the homestead. (P.S. you’re gonna LOVE her concept of “movement permaculture!”)

As hard as we try to avoid it, modern industrial thinking can easily creep into our homesteads. Take soil health for example. Have you ever walked through the garden store and wondered which of the isolated "ingredients" you should add to your garden to "fix it?" I have! But there's a better way. 

I'm joined by Aaron Elison of Redmond Agriculture in this episode. He helps us dismantle this reductionist mindset so we can take a "whole food" approach to caring for your garden. From Nature's Intelligence to a surprising way to remove toxins from your soil, this episode is full of nuggets!

Here on the podcast, we've talked about the effect of glyphosate (aka Round-Up) on the soil, but what about humans?

Dr. Chadi Nabhan, who is board-certified in internal medicine, hematology, and medical oncology, has first hand experience in this field as he was called in to be an expert witness in Monsanto trials in 2018 and 2019. Buckle up! This is a behind-the-scenes look like none other.
