I have been following Frank Sell on social media for awhile, Frank is a renaissance man, a man committed to personal growth, unafraid to try new things, or push the envelope. We have a great conversation about overcoming generational thought patterns, personal growth, confidence, and his coffee company, how it happened, and why it resonates.

Frank was awesome enough to give us a discount code for his coffee, use code PDL at homeofthehustle.com

Communication is key to human interaction and building rapport with others is becoming a super power. Communication has been regressing for the last decade as email and text messaging have become the norm. This regression of the soft skill of communication has been multiplied by the Covid. It has been allowed to become a wedge in our human interaction and is used as an excuse for shoddy leadership. The consequences are only beginning to be felt as society begins to extricate themselves from under a blanket of fear and apathy.

In this episode I talk about some of the consequences of covid, and give you some of the things that I do to communicate clearly and to build human capital.

After my thoughts on communication I give updates on, Homestead 2.0, PDL Overland Project, and my soon to be released book OPEN.

In this episode I compare and contrast the victim mindset verses the victor mindset.

Victim Mindset vs. Victor Mindset
Angry ----- Excited
What can I get -----What can I give
Resentful -----Respectful
Point to others-----Point at yourself

Victor Mindset
Ownership
Work Hard/ Sacrifice
Honest with yourself
Willing to bet on yourself/ take calculated risks

In this episode I talk about why I got started in preparedness, and how we must be careful not to allow ourselves to be controlled by fear.

Fear leads to bad decisions and manipulation by others.

We cover the 6 main areas of preparedness and how to be redundant by building out in concentric circles from our personal everyday carry items all the way out to a homestead type property.

I try my best to simplify these ideas, because when I first embarked on this journey, preparedness seemed very overwhelming. If we can simplify things and alleviate fear, preparedness can become a family exercise.

In this episode I speak about preparedness, not as a list of things to buy or a check list, but an over arching mind set and way of life. Prepare is one of the three pillars of PDL., I believe that our goal should always be to be as prepared as possible for whatever comes our way that is out of the normal routine. Whether that is a vacation, an interview, a test, or an emergency the approach should be the same. We prepare not because of fear, but in an effort to fight fear and stress both for ourselves and our families. We fight fear though planning, knowledge, and provisions.

My approach to preparedness is big but very simple, in this episode I attempt to paint a picture of this concept. I touch on Why, Family, Obstacles, Basics, and Getting Started. This episode went much longer than I had expected so in the next episode I will continue to broaden my vision of preparedness.
