• Ep. 58 - Self-Sufficiency 101 - Join the Homeschool Movement with Kody Hanner
    Feb 13 2025

    Another chat all about Self-Sufficiency!

    Aristotle, Epicurus, Diogenes, and many of the other Ancient Greek philosophers spoke of self-sufficiency as the ultimate form of wealth, freedom, and even happiness. Yet, our modern world has completely lost sight of that - becoming slaves to convenience and addicts of instant gratification.

    This series is all about understanding how to take on more personal responsibility, become wholly reliant on yourself, and in doing so, return to our roots as a species.

    A key component to living a self-sufficient lifestyle is to bring others o life, as well. Where better to start than with your own children? In this episode, we talk all about the role of agriculture in modern life, homesteading, and homeschooling.

    We are joined by Kody Hanner - a true expert on these subjects. Kody is a homesteader, homeschooler, podcaster, public speaker, author, wife, and mom. She started The Homestead Education - a company that provides education resources that aims to teach children self-sufficiency through hands-on learning.

  • Ep. 54 - Self-Sufficiency 101 - Teach Yourself to Hunt with Randi Merz
    Jan 16 2025

    Tonight's episode kicks off our Self-Sufficiency series. We are living through truly wild times, and we believe the best way to protect yourself and your family from political turbulence is to set yourself up to be more resilient and more self-reliant.

    Dr. Jordan Peterson has said: "The alternative to tyranny is the maximum responsibility you take on yourself. Because that leaves nothing for tyrants to do."

    That idea is exactly what we are exploring over the next several weeks, and tonight, we begin with the discussion of food sourcing and procurement. Our guest, Randi, taught herself everything she needed to know about providing for herself, and she serves as a model for others who hope to do the same.

    Thank you for joining us! Tune in next week for the next segment of our Self-Sufficiency series - a beginner's guide to becoming more self-sufficient.

  • Ep. 53 - The Scary Truth Behind the Covid-19 and Vaccine Data with Dr. Michael J. Schwartz
    Jan 9 2025

    This week, we welcome Dr. Michael J. Schwartz to the show for a true inside look at the data behind Covid-19 and the Covid-19 "vaccines." You've heard theories, you've heard scare tactics, you've heard propaganda funded by Pfizer...but have you seen the hard data?


    Dr. Schwartz was one of the first in the nation to run tests for Covid-19, and one of the only doctors to keep updated weekly patient records through the entirety of the pandemic. Thanks to his firsthand experience with nearly 20,000 patients at the time of the outbreak, he has data that no one else has. More so, he has worked tirelessly to put that data in the hands of every American. You don't want to miss this unbiased look at the virus and the shots that followed.

  • Ep. 52 - The New Years Resolution is Revolution
    Jan 2 2025

    Kicking off the 2025 season, we raise our eggnog espresso martinis in their own Buckman Tavern to welcome the New Year with a bold message: Revolution is here. In this episode, we explore the critical need for active engagement with local and federal government officials, emphasizing the importance of holding leaders accountable, knowing your rights, and understanding the Constitution.

    Drawing inspiration from Benjamin Franklin’s quote, "War is when the government tells you who the bad guy is. Revolution is when you decide that for yourself," we dive into the idea that we are living through a modern revolution. This episode is a call to action for listeners to shape the future of America through informed, active participation.
