Skilled Gentlemen Podcast

As gentlemen we should be able to get things done.  Things in the aspect of projects.  We all have our excuses of why we do not want to get things done.  We all say that it is too cold or it is too rainy but in reality we can get things done in a different area of the house.  This is something that I have struggled with.  Excuses on why I cant or wont do a project.  It may help if we organize our projects a little better.  Today, that is going to be the bulk of the show.  Organizing your project with your spouse or whoever you are investing with.  There are two ways that I have used in my organization efforts to get things done, both spoken on the podcast today.  The major concept that is between the two ways is that it includes a way to get your spouse involved in the project to meet not just your goals, but both.

So how do we get things done?

* The concept of using a 3 ring binder

* Using Excel to organize our thoughts

* Excuses and how to avoid them

* How to justify your projects

Remember that I am taking the last 2 weeks off of December from the podcast.  I will still have Email service, and I will be on the Facebook page.  I am just taking time away from the show.  The reason is because I need to do some reflection and figure out where I want the show to go next year.

I have spoken about the fire academy a lot during my podcasts.  I have spoken about how much fun it was and how much I learned.  One thing that I have not spoken much about is how the workouts were.  The workouts were very brutal leaving us not only exhausted but stronger.  Over the 6 months that we were in the school we all lost a significant amount of weight and were able to fight fire longer than we were able to before.  These workouts are mostly body weight.  This means that we are able to bring it home and do them without buying expensive weights.  I am bringing the fire academy workouts to you today.  I am going to break them down and let you know how you can employ these workouts in your life.

What workouts can we employ from the fire academy

* Thanking the Hydrants

* The Fire Circuit

* Praise the Bottle

* Thank you Brother

* How this can be a business idea

Meditation is a topic that I have been torn about speaking of for the longest time.  That is until I actually researched the meaning of it.  To me, I thought it was a bunch of nonsense that no one really needed.  However, now that I know what it is really about I have decided to give meditation a try.  The whole idea can be drawn down to having a stress reducer and a way to relax your mind.  If you are anything like me, you have an overactive mind.  I constantly replay events over and over in my mind until I fall asleep at night.  This is a great way to help me quell my mind and help me think clearly.  As crazy as it sounds, there is scientific facts to back the art of meditation and how it is effective.

why should gentlemen be concerned about meditation and how to do it?

* what does meditation benefit

* how do you meditate

* a guided mediation at the end of the show

Rather you like it or not, christmas is right around the corner.  Now is the time to figure out what you want to get everyone as gifts.  Going out and buying christmas gifts can be a daunting task.  My suggestion is, why dont you consider making your christmas gifts?  Think about it, your friend opens up a hand made tankard instead of a bought beer glass.  Which one do you think he will put on the display?  Which one do you think he will pull out to use on special occasions and which one is the daily drinker?  Making gifts is becoming more and more popular now and there are many reasons to do so.  Spend some time this season to further your skills or develop new ones to share with your friends and family.

Why should we be making gifts for christmas?

* Why making gifts for christmas is better than buying

* Making Jelly

* Brewing Beer

* Giving your time

* Building a clock

Podcasts mentioned in today’s show:

* Basics of Brewing Beer

* Why Gentlemen Need A Challenge

That time of year us quickly approaching us.  No this is not a Christmas related podcast but a New Year podcast.  More specifically a New Year Resolutions podcast.  How dramatically can new year resolutions change your life down the road?  How do you keep them?  Who can you count on to be in your corner when you are not feeling up to the challenge anymore?  All of these questions, and more, will be discussed in this podcast.  I am considering this one to be a topper for this year.  All of the skills that I have spoken about in 2015 are going to be summed up with just getting started with it.  So think about this, what if simple new year resolutions can keep you from that eventual heart attack you are heading toward?  What if a new year resolution can keep you from an early death? What if a new year resolution can help you retire early?  Interested?

This show is not for the beginner prepper.  If you want to learn more about that I would consider listening to three past shows. Beginner Prepping, Why People Are Afraid of Survivalism, and Lessons From Past Disasters all deal with the question of why.  This show is a longer list of what I am working toward.  I get a little bit candid in the show about what I have completed.  This is to show you that I am also working toward Advanced Prepping in my own life.  This list is by no means a complete list.  You have to figure out what is needed in your own life.  This all can be done by using a notebook, pen, and a little bit of time.

what goes into advanced prepping

* Alternate Energy

* Clothing

* Communications and Computing

* Defense

* Economic

To most of my listeners you heard me rant on prepping and how it is a responsibility for men to do.  However, my new listeners may benefit from beginner prepping.  If you are a seasoned listener and have not started to do this for your family, now is the time to start.  The way this is different from the rest of the shows, it is how to start.  This time it is not just that you should start, but a tips on how to start.  If by the end of the show you should be convenience that prepping is in your best interest for you and your family.  I am not sure how many different ways I can say it.  Do remember that I can be a resource for information on how to meet your goals and hopefully can be a very good resource.

How do we get back to the basics of beginner prepping?

* Why this matters to you

* How this matters for your family

* How to start

* 5 survival needs

Shining your shoes is a skill that many men know they need to know.  However they may not either know how or they don’t know why.  The why is always important.  This show goes beyond what to buy and how to do this.  I would not do anything less for my listeners.  Have you ever wondered what is in shoe wax?  What about when you are shining your shoes what is happening to your shoes?  What is the benefit of shining your shoes?  I dive into all of this and at the end I end with my view on why we should all shine our boots.  By the time you finish with the show you will be convinced on why you should be shining your boots and able to explain to your children why they should do the same

Thanksgiving is holiday that most of us stress out over.  We start off by getting uptight about who is coming over.  Then we stress out over what is cooking when.  Lastly we stress out by what people say about our food.  What if I told you that it does not have to be this way.  What if I told you that this is not the purpose of the holiday.  What if I told you that we are missing the whole meaning of thanksgiving by being stress out and mad at other people.  This is the purpose of the show today.  I want to enlighten you about what it really means to celebrate thanksgiving.  What is the history behind it.  I want to tell you about what the purpose of the traditions that we have associated with thanksgiving.  Then a little spin on my reasons we celebrate.
