Kurt is back and he gives an update on his homestead as well as tips from how he is building local community. And we talk about how to recession-proof your job with an entrepreneurial mindset.

• Community building tips:

  • Volunteer to help people setup their garden in the Spring or clean it up in the Fall.

  • Doing this, Kurt got free raspberry plants.

  • Hold events and workshops

• Learn new skills - as you learn skills, work up a portfolio of skills as an investment. It is a money sink, but necessary.

• He is coordinating with local restaurants to get food scraps for compost.

• NRCS application and using Fed programs for your benefit.

• Parallel Economy and how to recession proof your job.
