"You may save up money and quit your job to travel for 6 months, then go home and work for a year to save up, then find work that allows you to travel, then settle into a corporate career, then get tired of said career and decide to ride a bike 3000+ miles on an adventure, then start a business, then….well you get the idea." -Jason Moore Jason Moore Is the host of my favorite, and one of the biggest travel podcasts on iTunes, the Zero to Travel podcast.

Jeff Deist is President of the Mises Institute. Mises.org exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian school of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. These great thinkers developed praxeology, a deductive science of human action based on premises known with certainty to be true, and this is what they teach and advocate. Their scholarly work is founded in Misesian praxeology, and in self-conscious opposition to the mathematical modeling and hypothesis-testing that has created so much confusion in neoclassical economics.Support the show!Get your 14 day free trial of Skillshare Premium by using my affiliate link: skillshare.com/IBFSay hello at inspiredbyfirepodcast@gmail.comGo to inspiredbyfire.org for recommended booksHere is where you can find more of Jeff:Twitter - https://twitter.com/jeffdeistWebsite - Mises.org

A brief history of the relationship between the US Government and Saudi Arabia.

Welcome to the future you animals. I had my friend Lenny from Holland over to my place before he moves to Saigon to get the lowdown on Blockchain technology. This is something I am very interested in now and I'm looking forward to learning more about. It sounds very complex but once you see how undeniably transparent it is it's hard not to see the inevitable adoption as a monetary function as well as this taking power away from central banks due to the fact that it is possible to send money MORE securely without the need of a third party, without approval by anyone and without it being taxed, only an internet connection. Check out http://inspiredbyfire.org/ for the latest episodes and leave a review for the love of Christ.

Today we are talking some travel!Ahhh South East Asia, if you are from the west, showing up here for the first time feels like being warped into a different version of reality. A true blast to every single one of your senses. I will never forget, my first time ever setting foot in another country outside of the US was in Saigon, Vietnam, and my first taste of REAL humidity. The smell of the thick tropical rot, spices, BBQ, and motor-bike exhaust, the intense visuals of true action in the streets, the taste of $2 bowls of Bun Cha and $0.50 beers, the sound of horns, music and chatter from all angles. I am doing this place a real injustice by even trying to explain, so listen to the Podcast!Today the details are all in the title of the episode.

Obviously don't listen to this around your children you freaks.Porn is something a lot of people don't even realize they're addicted to like a drug, some are aware of this and struggle with it immensely. I am here to talk about some reasons why it's a good idea to give it up.Giving up porn was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life besides quitting drinking, however I think it was quitting porn that was the catalyst for quitting drinking and other low level forms of compulsive behavior I struggled with.The titanic dopamine release you get from watching strangers having sex on a screen is very unnatural. Don't forget how new to humans this is, to be able to pull an unlimited supply of pleasure out of your pocket. Not to mention it's a screen...The novelty is endless which is why it's so gnarly. You can always find something new and even more intense than from what you were viewing during your last sesh. So yes, porn induced fetishes area thing. If you struggle with not being able to get it up, or not being able to finish, porn is most likely your problem. It gives you unrealistic expectation in the real world and can contribute to not being able to enjoy a real and flawed body. In my experience I have stopped consciously "sextualizing" everything all day long and feel much more free as a result. Everything from how it can effect your relationship to your manhood, I touch on in this episode, so don't get turned on. Visit http://inspiredbyfire.org/ for recommended reading and travel gallery.

This is that quicky I was telling you about!Simply put, no one knows what's best for the world and for humanity. The most unnecessary problems in the world are a direct result of people thinking they do. Humans are nature too, the evilest person you can think of is just as much a natural phenomena as the ocean or a volcano. Just because we aren't rooted in the ground like a plant does not mean we are not connected.Utopia is an experience, an experience an individual can have that comes and goes. Whether that be having a child, accomplishing a goal, enjoying the sunshine at the park, or expanding your mind. Utopia is NOT a possible permanent state of humanity. Any attempt to forcibly correct humans and the errors of their ways by force is an attempt to correct mother nature herself, even though, that would mean the attempt to correct humans would be her doing too.. What a trip right?!?! No need to be confused. Look, the point is, the best way to help this world is to improve yourself as an individual, this has more of an effect than you realize and truly radiates into the universe. I'm sure you have heard the saying: Be the change you want to see in the world, do this, and you will without a doubt have a positive impact on those around you, set a good example, this chain continues, and you will change the world for the better.

Howdy humans, In today's episode we will be taking a deeper look at what it actually means to be equal. For many reasons, morality and Idealism belong to those who advocate total equality for all. Many argue about the detrimental economic effects of socialist policies but it's not as often the case for morality since most assume that they at least have good intentions. Today I want to point out that it is our diversity and uniqueness that makes us human in the first place. There are too many real differences to mention, such as, differences in skills, ambitions, heights, weights, desires, goals, looks, ways of thinking, etc that display how any attempt to "correct" this is inherently anti-human. Especially when done by using the arm of the state. Any and all attempts at total equality (Communism) has resulted in arguably the most horrific human atrocities in modern history.

Greetings from Vietnam! and welcome to the Inspired By Fire Podcast. In today's episode, we will be going over social media and why today is my last day mindlessly scrolling through a never-ending whirlpool of "don't forget about me today" posts. It is something I have gone back and forth with now for some years. Knowing I felt better when it wasn't in my pocket I still found myself going back later down the road after significant time off. Well, I'm done yet again. This isn't an episode trying to convince you why you should too, I am just sharing my thoughts about why I came to the conclusion to LET IT GO. Be sure to visit https://inspiredbyfire.org/ for recommended books Some key takeaway points from the episode and things discussed:-Seeking Attention-Comparing and Contrasting -The Effect on the Ego -Time Wasted-Fake Distortions of RealityI realized after recording how much more there is to cover on the topic including some of the benefits but I can get to all that another time.

Ahoy! In today's episode we will be discussing the trap that alcohol creates in ones life. This is something I have struggled with for some years now but after about five months of sobriety (still have a long way to go) I can attest for some of the positive changes that occur when quitting this drug. This is not an episode preaching about how you should quit drinking. I simply want to share my experience about the best decision I have ever made in my life and hopefully get anyone who may be sober-curious to think more about how this is nothing but a positive change. So in today's talk we go over a little bit about my history with drinking, the reason for quitting, things I have noticed along the way that sealed the deal more than ever, the negative effects it has in ones life, and of course the positive change it's had in my life.

Getting into yet again another tangled subject, in episode 10 of Inspired By Fire we analyze the human condition, poverty. The human ability to escape it through free markets and how the state has the legal ability to route the evolution of the economy for its own benefit. Most have been taught that the state saved capitalism from itself using progressive law but this couldn't be further from the truth. History actually shows this to be the time of connection between corporation and big government cartelizing industries to further imperial interests at home and abroad, the antitheses of free market capitalism.Too many have voluntarism, capitalism and free markets confused with "cronyism" and "mercantilism" which are more appropriate terms for the way the United States and many other governments in the world are run. In this episode I want to shed a bit of light on how the blame is in the wrong place.
