Today we discuss the hard truth most people don’t want to hear — freedom isn’t something you vote for, it’s something you take. You can scream at the sky, protest bad laws, and hope the next election changes things, but if you’re waiting on permission to live free, you’re already in chains. In this episode, I lay out what it actually looks like to take freedom back into your own hands — one area at a time. We’ll hit the big ones: food, money, speech, time, health, education, and more. You want food freedom? Grow your own and stop asking … Continue reading →

Last week I was at the LFTN 25 Workshop put on by my good friend Nicole Sauce. While there, one of the fellow presenters was talking about applying permaculture in suburban settings. She had done an amazing job transforming her backyard into a productive, beautiful space. But when it came to the front yard? That’s where the “Karens” and the HOA enforcers drew the line. Nicole pointed out to me, “You haven’t covered that in a while.” She’s right, it’s time to revisit how to stick it to the rule-makers while still playing the game better than they do. Today, … Continue reading →
