In our journey on this podcast, we dissected the many layers that contribute to this limiting belief system.

Furthermore, we shared actionable steps and insights to help you break free from these chains.

Lifestyle Design is For Everyone – TSP Rewind – Epi-305

Today we discuss the concept of lifestyle design, which has been a core piece of TSP since the very first days of our journey.  Many credit author and entrepreneur Tim Ferris with this concept.  I love Tim and have followed his work for years.  There is no doubt that he is a big part of the movement today, but he simply made people aware of the concept.  The concept itself is as old as civilization. There have always been people who have lived differently then others, more disciplined and with a plan for their life.  For instance the 1926 classic … Continue reading →

Twelve Overlooked Vegetables for the Garden – TSP Rewind – Epi-303

In the spring and early summer talk a walk in the garden section of any big store or even typical smaller plant nurseries.  Mostly you see peppers, tomatoes, squash, cucumbers and a few other veggies and herbs. There are so many other options though and many are tougher than our stand alone favorites.  Fore instance so many people love growing tomatoes but in many areas they are plagued by early and late blight.  You can usually get a decent yield and then you hit a wall, well why not grow tomatillos instead.  They make fantastic salsa, are great grilled and … Continue reading →

Planning Your Future When the Future is Uncertain – TSP Rewind – Epi-302

We talk a lot about what I call “lifestyle design” around here.  When people hear that term they get the general idea, because the words are common. Lifestyle – The way in which a person lives. ~ Design – Purpose, planning, intention and thought behind an action. ` So lifestyle design means to put purpose, planning, intention and thought into how you live your life.  So yep people generally get the basic concept, what people usually struggle with though is designing a lifestyle for today that is resilient for tomorrow. I think we have all had those moments, we are … Continue reading →

Blood in the Streets, History Repeats – Epi-3575

Today I’m joined by CJ Killmer, host of the Dangerous History Podcast, for a hard look at where America might be headed as tensions and political violence keep rising. A lot of people compare our current divide to the Civil War, but CJ makes a strong case that’s the wrong model. Instead, he points to the Troubles in Northern Ireland, a messy, decades-long conflict that mixed politics, religion, and insurgency in ways that feel a lot closer to what a modern breakdown could look like. CJ knows this history inside and out. He studied the British Empire and Irish history … Continue reading →

All Welfare is Corporate Welfare – Epi-3554

This episode pulls back the curtain on one of the biggest lies in modern economics, that welfare helps the poor. In reality, every dollar that enters a government program eventually ends up in corporate hands. The rich use debt to buy assets and generate tax-free income. The poor use debt to survive and never escape it. From SNAP to Medicaid, the system recycles money upward through low wages, processed food, and pharmaceutical profits. We’ll break down how this loop works: taxpayers fund assistance programs, benefits go to workers whose employers rely on those subsidies, and the corporations collecting those dollars … Continue reading →

Is Society About to Explode in Food Riots – Epi-3753

We are going to cover a variety of topics today but our lead story is going to be a coming inflection point with the government shutdown.  On Nov. 1st  SNAP Benefits (food stamps) will stop unless the government shutdown ends or the congress passes some sort of exception.  Translation, 40 million plus people will stop getting free food.  Many of these people do not see these benefits as charity at this point, rather something they are entitled to.  Additionally history has show the worse political riots (where people actually target government) occur over food. I will then present an alternative … Continue reading →

The Journey from Grasshopper to Ant – Epi-3750

In many ways today is truly and “old school” episode of The Survival Podcast.  “The Ant and The Grasshopper” is a timeless fable that will never stop being a great story of lifestyle design.  While many listeners will have a lot of this knocked out at this point, we can all use a refresher and a bit of work on fundamentals from time to time.

Dropping the Denominator – Epi-3749

Have you ever heard the phrase, “the lowest common denominator”.  While this is an actual mathematical principle it has also become a colloquialism meaning to cater to the lowest preforming member of a given group. Today that group is the people of the United States and the performance metrics are basic intelligence, critical thinking and the ability to use logic and reason. In essence a better title for this show may be “lowering the common denominator” with the sub title of “the dumbing down of America”, but I simply feel dropping the denominator sounds better and requires more thought, and … Continue reading →

Living in Your Circle of Control – Epi-3746

So much is going on right now that the world feels like it is melting down in front of us.  No matter what anyone says or does inflation is like a plague on society.  Food is more expensive than anyone can remember.  The political tribalism is at a fevered pitch with both sides in full denial of reality.  The universities continue to churn out people with degrees that can’t actually do anything.  Jobs are being eliminated with automation and outsourcing. We have war being normalized again, like it’s just another line item on the news scroll. The media keeps feeding … Continue reading →

A couple times a year for over a decade, I get a message (usually on Facebook) "I love your posts. I used to think you were nuts but, you seem to be onto something. " I to though have stopped trying to convince anyone, but I do post regularly to let people know they are not crazy and they are not alone.

Problem with your smart meter expert is he doesn't know what he doesn't know. I just retired after almost 33 years in the cell phone industry at the leadung company developing 2 3,4 and 5G technology. All he's talking about is power levels he ignores the fact that our bodies respond differently to different frequencies. The FCC is behind the times. safety standard only looks at heat rise from radiation. Does not look at the effects of different frequencies on cellular biology.

I’m glad you’re talking about it but let’s spare people’s feelings. The left are destroying this country from every angle. The Republicans are weak af. And if we don’t get trump in office, the only one that can save America is God. Oh and Biden is traitor to his country and should be tried for treason.

I've enjoyed this show. But Jack's John McCain approach to the balloon was surprising and horrible. Spirko is usually good at recognizing media drama propaganda. Here he sounds like a straight up neo-con. I don't get it. Much ado about absolutely nothing.
