TweetToday is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes.

Today’s episode was originally, Episode-732- Leadership and Its Role for American Survival and was originally published on August 25th, 2011.

The following are the original show notes from that episode.

No not the leadership of our vaulted elected officials, our military commanders or even your boss at work. No today I am talking about personal, family and general community level leadership.

Lee Iaccoca wrote a book called “Where Have All The Leaders Gone”, there are some shocking revelations about Cuba and Castro’s multiple attempts to work with the US in it but other than that it is basically a political piece on why we need a new leader in the White House, a real leader who knows what it means to lead.

My thought when I hear this question though, “where have all the leaders gone” turns to the average American male and to a slightly lesser degree the average American female. Where is leadership in the home, where is leadership in our neighborhoods, where is it at the ground level?

At one time the American man was the epitome of leadership, standing at the front of his family, willing to make any sacrifice and more importantly willing to make any tough decision, this has been largely replaced with an attitude of “whatever”. So what happened, how do we fix it and what is the payoff if we do.

Join me today as we discuss…

It all started when equal rights were mixed up with equal ability

Men must again be men and woman must realize they are not men

Survival of our nation, culture and family unit is at stake here

Every problem we have caused or aggravated by a leadership deficit

Leading is not ruling, it is not dictating it is based on action

All authority is granted, leaders must earn their authority

All good leaders also must know how to be led

A good leader can’t do everything and he/she knows it

The tale of two communities of shepherds

Great leaders must be determined, strong and compassionate

TweetVin Armani is the host of The Vin Armani Show on Activist Post. He is a serial entrepreneur, software developer, author, and CryptoSavage.

Vin has become a friend over the last year and definitely a friend to and supporter of the TSP Mission.

He joins us today for a discussion of the concepts in Vin’s new book, Self Ownership: The Foundation Of Property and Morality.

Join us today as we discuss the current conflict between libertarianism and statism.  How individuals can build a more free life.  The importance of understanding that all systems of government “work” in one way or another and many other topics during this deep dive into the real meaning of liberty and freedom.

Steven Harris will join me for the first part of today’s show.  Today’s show is commercial free to speak directly about the currently unfolding disaster in Texas and what you can do to help us respond to it.

Many don’t realize that this storm in many was is worse than Katrina.  Only a far better response to it is preventing it from looking that way.  Sadly though thanks to Houston’s mayor, high risk residents were not only not told to evacuate, they were specifically told to stay in their homes.

Many people of course seem to think that the worst is over, sadly the worst is yet to come.  Areas that simply can’t handle any more rain, have 2-3 days of it yet to come and Harvey is going to create more flooding problems in areas of Louisiana and likely even in Arkansas when it finally does begin to move north.

TweetJulia Mason has been involved in animal husbandry to one extent or another for her whole life, yet when she and her then fiance, Nicholas, began accumulating livestock and trying to homestead in earnest, they made a whole slew of mistakes.

She would like to share some of their stories of failure and success to hopefully inspire and teach about what they have learned over the last five years. In that time Julia and Nicholas have raised goats, dairy cattle, pigs, sheep, meat rabbits, chickens, ducks, livestock guardian dogs and had their first child.

Julia is currently recently gave birth to their second child, and Nicholas is now self employed as a contractor; they are now working to try and get financing to buy their own property for the first time, a somewhat daunting task in the Californian infested Great Northwest.
