Yakkin With Nick

I was inspired by a conversation with a friend about politics, liberty, and rural lifestyles to talk about something that I have on my mind a lot. I feel that the rural lifestyle is disappearing, and I don't like that. Maybe I'm being impractical and pessimistic, but I really like living in the wooded hills of Oregon. Next to a long-gone mill camp, on a river most people have never heard of and a gravel road most people will never drive. There's something romantic about being a hill billy...

I decided to yak about the farm I run with my family here in Oregon. I tell you how it all got started and why I'm really trying to do this. 

If you have any questions about today's program, shoot me a message, comment, or email. I don't mind, I actually like talking about this stuff.

This is an interview I recorded with Scott Hebert of the Stoic Mettle podcast last fall. It was intended for the Anarcho-Yakitalism Podcast but I really liked the topic and conversation so I decided to release it here. 

I think stoicism is a great tool for all people. I say it might not work for you sometimes, but I don't mean that. If you're willing to put in the effort, you can make it work for you. The practices we lay out in this episode should be pretty easy to grok, and with some research and practice, you can become a stoic.

I received a suggestion to watch and talk about a Gary Vaynerchuk speech by my friend Jim Jesus of the Lolberts podcast. I watched it and then a clip of a Joe Rogan show with Dan Pena. Both had a message that stuck out to me, something I've been thinking about recently. That I don't do enough to make me satisfied.

I’m trying to figure out how to make money off the farm, and part of that is getting better at selling. Drew Sample has spent much of his time as a salesman, and I know he has some expertise in this area, so I wanted to talk to him about sales to get some advice. Drew is also a podcaster, so we decided to record this talk, I figured y’all might enjoy hearing some about what it really takes to run a business and be successful. Marketing and sales is a huge part of business.

I’m starting a new project. I miss producing content, but the Anarcho-Yakitalism podcast takes too much time for my balance of perfectionism, laziness, and greed. Yakkin With Nick will be a less structured, no holds barred, and less academic show … Continue reading →
