A review and commentary of the amazing Band of Visionaries book by Steven Franssen. As the “relationship sci-fi” book this is one the most rich and valuable works of fiction out there, and is a must read for valiant growers! It’s also a detailed exploration around the question of saving the world, which has crossed many a libertarian mind, which really sets it apart even in the already very special (and short) list of libertarian fiction. Check the book out (link at http://valiantgrowth.com/e23), and check Steven’s work out at http://nurturingtruth.com!

One year and one month ago I’ve set out to become a full-time entrepreneur. I have not succeeded. Can you learn from my mistakes?  This is the final episode of Valiant Growth, season 1.Photo credit:  daivinandleah via Flickr

0055 - Season Finale: I Guess I’m Not a Swashbuckling Entrepreneur

I've been thinking about talking more about my story with breaking contact with everyone I knew three years ago and completely resetting my life while coming to England. I especially wanted to talk about the painful mistakes I have made in talking to my family and friends following my understanding of the Freedomain Radio relationship strategy. I just couldn't figure out the personal development garb to dress those in to make them fit into the Valiant Growth format.  They might make it into an episode eventually, but until then, my friend Nick Hazelton solved that problem for me with 2+ hour long interview/talk on Yakkin with Nick. 

Interview on Yakkin With Nick: Moving to England, Non-Violent Relationships with Nick Hazelton

I’ve been an ultra-sedentary person for most of my life and had zero interest in anything to do with physical health. But I am doing more now than I did before. And my friend Chris Stefanick can claim some credit for that. He showed me a vision of health that’s focused on living a better and longer life, having more fun, having fewer limitations, of joy in movement and nutrition and self-care not because the end result impresses someone but because it’s a path of self-mastery, of learning something new for its own sake. This is a talk with Chris. My aim is to nurture your intrinsic motivation to live a healthier life and show you some potential paths you can go down on. In the manner with which you might have gotten accustomed to on this podcast (and then gotten unaccustomed to over the past few months), we’re going to focus on the why and on strategy, and also on how to do it without a lot of (or any) financial expense or extra stuff. Take the next action by listening to one of the following episodes of Choice Conversations:   Walking and Strength Training  Losing Weight and Mindful Eating  Sleep  Relaxation  Posture  What’s holding you back from a healthier life?
