Today is part two of the conversation with Shaun Chamberlin (Part 1 ), editor of Lean Logic and Surviving the Future, on the work of David Fleming. This time we focus on Shaun including his background, current activities, and what it means to bear David's Legacy.

Along the way the conversation touches on a variety of subject related to our work in the modern world, including the role of education, the apolitical need for action on the future, and what we can do to live inexpensively and with directed intent. This is candid, on both of our parts, as we share more of our own private stories as much as the public.

Find our more about Shaun and his work at DarkOptimism.org.

We’re able to keep the newsletter, email and voicemail going with support from our partners like Joel Dufour and the great people at Earth Tools in Kentucky. If you are a small scale professional farmer or permaculture practitioner you’ll love their line of walk behind tractors, implements, and parts from manufacturers like BCS and Grillo. If you’re a gardener, check out their full line of high quality hand tools from DeWit, SHW, Barnel, and more.

I chose to partner with Earth Tools because they are owned and operated by a small-scale farmer and his family. With their hands-on experience and understanding of the tools we need on our farms and in our gardens, and with affordable pricing, they make high quality tools accessible to everyone. If you’re looking for the perfect holiday gift for the gardeners in your life, this is it. Find out more about their complete line of tractors and tools at EarthTools.com.
