Primal King Podcast

You've all gotten to know Derek and Jess pretty well over the past few years so would you ever imagine that Jess is becoming a prepper? Well, maybe...

We know how weird some of the things that are happening seem to be. A highly divided election season. Inching closer and closer to what could turn into WW3. Port strikes that could threaten supply chains. Natural disasters impacting millions of people. The list goes on and on. So, what should we do? Should we become preppers and just hunker down for a few months?

Derek and Jess dive into what it looks like to be prepared in an uncertain time. Does that mean burrying gold in the back yard and living a terrified existence? Not at all. Does it mean that we all could be a little more prepared just in case? Absolutely.

Make sure to tune into this episode where you can learn what it looks like to have a sensible approach for anything that could be heading our way.

Every generation has it's challenges when it comes to marriage. In the old days, isolation with your spouse could be an issue or the fact that you may not have had access to very many potential mates before getting married. 

Nowadays, we have a whole different set of issues. Whether it's access to those old flames through social media or if it's the access to being able to see just about anything we want anytime we want, it can really stress a relationship in ways that we haven't ever dealth with before.

The question is this; how hard is it to stay married in this new digital age and if you can stay married, how hard is it to have a great marriage? What are the do's and don'ts? In this episode, Derek and Jess break it down and share some of their insight having been married for 17 years and most of that being in the digital age.

As humans, we all want to world to bend to our will. So often we want others to think like us or see things how we see them. We also know that isn't real life to have those expectations...

In this episode, Derek breaks down how important it is to simply trust the process and don't try to do everything our way. As difficult as it can be, there are natural laws, roadmaps and clues to the success that we want in just about every area. 

Whether it's spirituality, fitness, business or a number of other areas, there are ways to achieve success but the question is...can you submit long enough to get it???

How do you handle those "hard conversations" with your kids? Is it with anger and strict consequences? Is it with compassion and being somewhat of a pushover? Does it maybe even vary from instance to instance?

In this episode, Derek and Jess dive into what they have been doing recently with the hard conversations. As your kids get older and inevitably get themselves into some trouble here and there, what is the best way to navigate it in a way that sets boundaries but doesn't cause resentment?

There most likely isn't any "right answer" to this question but Derek and Jess hope that opening up the conversation around this will lead to some clarity if this is something that you are struggling with!

Have you thought to yourself in the past few years that nothing seems to make sense? Have you had a friend that does things or makes decisions that don't make sense? I'm pretty sure we all have...

When you can figure out this ONE thing, you can start seeing through all of the fog. You can see why people, politicians, corporations and even yourself keep making decisions that may not make any sense. Once you know, you can use it to your advantage and not only see through the fog, but you'll be able to go out and crush it in your own life!

Sometimes it's really easy to take things personal. Maybe it's that guy that cut you off in traffic. Maybe it's that rude cashier or even that fight with a friend that you never saw coming. Maybe it's even someone taking their life that you would have never expected...

The reality is, we don't ever truly know what someone may be going through but our reactions usually don't take those thoughts into mind. Yes, people should always have a certain amount of kindness and decency but it's also very easy for us to be so self-focused that no matter what the reason may be, we take it personal...and it may be destroying us for no reason.

In today's episode, Derek goes into the topic of how sometimes the best thing that we can do is chalk up some of our negative reactions to what may be going on in someone else's life and it may not be out you at all and that requires us to have a little bit of grace and understanding.

Derek and Jess don't get a lot of time to spend doing absolutely nothing...but it happened this past weekend on a cruise ship to Mexico and back!

We all know how easy it is for us to get in the day to day grind and sometimes what we all need is a change of environment and, perhaps, a change of pace to learn some real lessons. 

This episode is based around the two biggest takeaways that Derek and Jess learned from being able to take a couple days away from the ranch, the kids, the work and everything else to re-charge and re-focus. This should be a good lesson for all of us to consider even if we aren't on a cruise ship anytime soon!

We all want bigger and better. It may be the bank account, the house, the car or just about anything. Here is the question that Derek and Jess ask in this episode...is better ACTUALLY better?

Our life is just a giant collection of decisions. If we make one decision, it could affect several other things. So often in life we don't really think about the downstream affect of what becoming better may actually mean in other areas of life. If you want the billion dollar business, will that impact your home life? If you want the six pack abs, will it impact your relationships?

There may not be a "one size fits all" answer to this question but Derek and Jess dive into the tricky topic about better not always actually being better...

How is it that we have gotten to a point that down seems up and left seems right? How is it that we almost feel like we are living in an alternate reality? In this episode, Derek breaks down exactly how we got here and what we can do to improve our lives using this exact model...

Calley Means has gained a ton of traction over the past year and there's good reason. He is someone that graduated from Stanford and Harvard business schools and then went on to be a pharmaceutical and food consultant. Like so many of us, he had an event take place that changed his entire trajectory: seeing his mother get diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer and pass away 13 days later. This led him to find his true life mission which turned out to be leading the way for alternative ways to become healthier which also led him into a fight with\ big food and big pharma.

Although many of us know that some of the so-called "experts" don't have our best in mind, Calley has been on the inside and knows why this all works.

Is it some massive conspiracy?

Is it a coordinated attack on the American people?

Is it just simply greed?

This is a must-listen episode if you want to know the TRUTH behind how our food is now a weapon and what you can do about it to take back control and live as healthy as possible!
