  • Understanding Money Part One – Epi-3833
    Apr 14 2026
    My hope today is to help you understand money from as many new perspectives as possible. If you think about it nothing in general has a greater effect on the lives of most Americans than money. Money is why we work, how we provide our housing and food, how we are taxed and how our class structure is defined. We can deny this if we choose to but a family with a gross income of 100,000 dollars a year lives a much more comfortable life than one with a gross income of say 25,000 a year. Yet if you ask … Continue reading →

  • Grain to Grass: Breaking the 4th Gen Cycle – Epi-3830
    Apr 8 2026
    Today we are joined by Stephen Brass, a fourth generation farmer from northern Illinois who walked away from the conventional grain model to build a regenerative beef operation. Growing up in the Corn Belt meant a steady diet of synthetic fertilizers and heavy tillage. These inputs maintained a status quo while the topsoil literally washed away. For Stephen, the turning point was realizing that the land was not being improved, only managed through chemical dependence. He eventually traded the plow for perennial pastures, transitioning his family acreage into a biological powerhouse fueled by grazing rather than grain. The shift required … Continue reading →

  • Understanding Disease Resistant Vegetable Varieties – Epi-3829
    Apr 7 2026

In those years the same beds are growing jalapenos … Continue reading →

It is a way for every human to have personal agency or more accurately own an agency of experts, assistants and … Continue reading →
