Podcasts about Preparedness

This episode starts with TikTok's updated Terms of Service, specifically the part where apps want to know where you are at all times, and quickly spirals into a much bigger question: did we accidentally sign up for the surveillance state… or was it always inevitable? Kristin and I debate privacy, inevitability, pessimism, preparedness, and whether refusing to participate actually protects you, or just makes life harder. Somewhere in there, we revisit COVID lockdown memories, the great toilet paper shortage, and why Kristin still believes in go-bags… everywhere. Then things get personal. We talk about Milo, our very large, very inbred standard poodle, and his recurring seizures. I do what every human doctor does best: Google outside my scope, panic quietly, and admit I don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to dogs. We walk through idiopathic epilepsy, toxins, brain issues, genetics, and the complicated question of when a dog actually needs lifelong seizure medication. Finally, we crack open First Aid and land on Ehlers-Danlos syndrome — collagen, hypermobility, bruising, joint issues, blood vessels, aneurysm anxiety, and what it's like to live with a genetic condition that medicine still doesn't fully understand. It's nerdy, personal, and surprisingly validating. Takeaways: Digital Privacy Isn't Theoretical: Location tracking, data collection, and why opting out isn't always realistic. Preparedness vs Panic: Go-bags, pessimism, and how couples balance very different risk tolerances. Dog Seizures Are Terrifying: Idiopathic epilepsy is common, but deciding when to treat isn't simple. Pet Insurance Confusion: Why even doctors don't know what's actually worth paying for. Ehlers-Danlos Reality: Collagen types, hypermobility, bruising, and living with a condition medicine still struggles to define. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Most serious preppers have invested significant time and resources into gear, food storage, and supplies — yet when an actual emergency unfolds, the gap between having resources and being able to rely on them under pressure becomes glaringly apparent. The difference isn't usually about what you own. It's about what you've made automatic. Without intentional preparedness routines and the kind of deep practice that encodes critical skills into long-term memory, even the most well-stocked prepper can find themselves thinking through steps they should be executing on instinct — and in a real SHTF situation, that hesitation carries a cost. In this episode of Ready Your Future, Todd explores the foundational role that prepper routines and automaticity play in building genuine, reliable preparedness. Drawing from a classic Gray Wolf Survival article alongside his own experience as an educator and former group home parent, Todd breaks down why scheduling your preparedness activities isn't just smart time management — it's a core survival strategy. He also digs into the science of how skills move from conscious effort into long-term memory, what that means for your ability to perform under stress, and which critical skills — including fire starting and situational awareness — every serious prepper should be actively working to make second nature. The preppers who perform when it matters most aren't the ones who simply know what to do — they're the ones who have practiced enough that doing it requires almost no conscious thought. If you've been going through the motions of preparedness without building the routines and repetition that actually hardwire skills into automatic responses, this episode delivers the framework you need to change that. Whether you're refining your emergency preparedness system or just getting started on building genuine self-reliance, these are the fundamentals that separate passive stockpiling from the kind of deep preparedness that holds up when everything goes sideways.

Side hustles aren't just extra cash—they can be a path to freedom, flexibility, and real financial security… if you design them right. In this episode, Shaun Enders sits down with lifelong entrepreneur Bart Merrell to break down what separates a true side hustle from a part-time job, why most people pick the wrong hustle, and how to spot opportunities hiding in plain sight. Bart shares stories from building multiple income streams (including dog training, AI consulting, and more), plus the mindset shifts that help people move past fear, imposter syndrome, and overthinking. You'll also hear how to avoid creating a "high-paying job" that traps your time, how to choose a hustle that matches your energy and season of life, and why your best opportunity might be closer than you think—maybe even in your own backyard. What you'll learn The difference between a side hustle and a part-time job The #1 mistake people make: building a hustle that becomes another job Bart's simple framework: What you like to do / need to do / already do How to choose a hustle that fits your values, lifestyle, and goals Why mentors matter when you're trying to refine an idea How to beat imposter syndrome and start before you feel "ready" A practical way to evaluate risk before investing money into an idea How to build income streams for "when life happens" Memorable moments Bart's "388 days without a day off" lesson—and how he redesigned his hustle A non-tech side hustle example that creates income with minimal marketing "Preparedness + opportunity + action" (and why action is the missing piece) The "acres of diamonds" story… with a Bart-style twist Connect with Bart Bart's Ideal Side Hustle resource: www.youridealsidehustle.com (Find his 1K Blind Spot Assessment and ways to connect.)

In this episode, I sit down with Jamie Walden — founder of Omega Dynamics, former Marine infantryman, police officer, firefighter/paramedic, missionary, and resilience trainer — for a powerful conversation about faith, discernment, and navigating uncertain times.We begin by discussing unusual global weather patterns and why many people are paying closer attention to environmental shifts happening around the world.Jamie shares how he views these changes through a biblical worldview and why conversations around awareness, preparedness, and spiritual grounding are becoming more relevant.We also explore the long tradition of watching for “signs in the heavens,” and how faith communities have historically interpreted natural events, cultural shifts, and global instability as reminders to stay spiritually anchored and discerning.More than anything, this conversation centers on how to remain steady when the world feels uncertain. Jamie speaks about spiritual resilience, overcoming fear-driven narratives, and strengthening faith, family, and community as the foundation for navigating whatever lies ahead.Important note:To keep this episode YouTube-friendly, I had to make careful edits and remove portions of our discussion.

c02 The Silent Killers in Your Home | Episode 586 Good morning. It's 45 degrees, I'm dragging butt, and today we're talking about something that quietly kills a lot of people every year. Carbon dioxide. Smoke. Ventilation. The invisible stuff. This isn't sexy prepping. This is boring, basic, “why are we even talking about this?” prepping. Because a $20 device can literally save your life. Carbon Dioxide: The Cheap Life Insurance You're Ignoring I was scrolling headlines this morning and saw another story about deaths from carbon dioxide poisoning. It happens every single year. A lot. And here's the stupid part — a CO₂ detector costs like twenty bucks. Even if you don't run a propane heater, even if you think your house is “fine,” they're cheap enough that not owning one is just negligence. Modern homes are airtight. That's great for energy efficiency. It's not great if something is off-gassing inside. We run: A Mr. Buddy propane backup heater On-demand propane hot water Both can introduce CO₂ into the air. Under normal conditions? Fine. Crank the flame too high? It absolutely spikes. We've set ours off before. We've seen it climb toward 150 parts per million. The alarm goes off, we crack windows, levels drop. If we didn't have the monitor? We'd have no clue. That's the scary part. Without a detector, you literally do not know. Backup Heat Means Backup Monitoring If you're running any kind of propane heater — especially in winter — this is not optional. Yes, some heaters have built-in shutoff sensors. The Mr. Buddy claims it will shut itself off if CO₂ gets too high. Cool. I still want my own monitor. That's a belt-and-suspenders situation. Redundancy matters when the failure mode is “you don't wake up.” Also: crack a window. It feels counterintuitive when you're trying to heat a space, but fresh air matters. Smoke Detectors: The Highest ROI Device in Your House If your house doesn't have smoke detectors, I don't know what to tell you. They are cheap. The return on investment is astronomical. The ROI of not dying in a house fire? I'll take that trade every day of the week. Yes, I've had one fail before. I installed one when I built my house, it broke, and there was a stretch where we didn't have one. It happens. Then you fix it. Also: change your batteries. Do not be the person whose smoke detector chirps for three months. Just replace the batteries. Batteries: The Boring Prep That Matters CO₂ detectors. Smoke alarms. Flashlights. They all need batteries. Stock some. I bought one of those zippered foam battery organizers that holds multiple sizes. It's nerdy, but having a full case of ready-to-go batteries is awesome. Also, don't cheap out on garbage rechargeable batteries. I bought some that were labeled rechargeable and either weren't — or were just trash. They wouldn't hold a charge. When it comes to life-safety gear? Buy decent batteries. Combination Units vs Dedicated Monitors Many modern smoke detectors also monitor CO₂. That's fine. Two-for-one is great. Personally, I like a dedicated CO₂ monitor that shows parts per million in real time. I want to see the numbers. I want to watch them drop when I open a window. But if you're starting from scratch? A combo unit is far better than nothing. The goal is awareness. Radon and Other Invisible Problems Carbon dioxide isn't the only invisible threat. Radon is real. I've watched a YouTube renovation series where a homeowner tested high radon levels in a basement before sealing and fixing it. That's something you may want to test, depending on where you live. Ventilation matters. Fresh air matters. And if you have natural gas? Know where your emergency shutoff is. That's non-negotiable. Final Thoughts This episode isn't dramatic. It's not about collapse. It's about not dying from something preventable. Buy a CO₂ detector.Test your smoke alarms.Stock batteries.Know your shutoffs.Crack a window when running propane. Preparedness isn't always about big disasters. Sometimes it's about the invisible stuff quietly building up in your own house. This is James from SurvivalPunk.com.DIY to survive.

Angela is joined by Professor Ilan Kelman, Professor of Disasters and Health at University College London and author of Disaster by Choice, to explore how disasters and health intersect in our everyday lives. Drawing on examples from the COVID-19 pandemic to earthquakes, floods, and wildfires, Ilan explains why "prevention is better than cure," what individuals can realistically do to prepare (like assembling a "go bag" and planning for sheltering in place) and how inequality and lack of resources make true preparedness impossible for many.

health check Taking Care of Your Health Before It Forces You To | Episode 585 Good morning. It's 35 degrees, it's cold, and today we're talking about something that doesn't trend on YouTube and doesn't get clicks like “grid down tomorrow” — your health. There's a reason I'm covering this now. A guy I've known since I was about 11 passed away recently. Football teammate. Same schools. Long history. Early word is it may have been a cardiac event. And before we go any further — I am not saying any advice in this episode would have saved him. Sometimes things just happen. But if you're neglecting your health? This is your wake-up call. You're Not “Just Getting Old” I'm 44. And for a while I told myself the fatigue was normal. Weird sleep schedule. Overtime. Overnight shifts. Aches and pains. That's just aging, right? That mindset is a trap. Yes, you shouldn't run to the doctor for every sniffle. I didn't. But you also shouldn't just accept feeling like garbage as your new baseline. If you wake up tired every day. If your joints hurt constantly. If your energy is gone. That's data. Don't ignore it. Trying to Fix It Yourself (And When That Stops Working) If you've listened for a while, you know I've been troubleshooting my own health. Testosterone. Supplements. Methylated vitamins. Higher-dose vitamin D. Peptides. Cutting things out. Adding things in. Tracking symptoms with ChatGPT. Logging fatigue, flare-ups, lab numbers, theories. Some things helped briefly. Some did nothing. Some made things worse. At some point, you have to admit: you're guessing. I finally used telehealth through my terrible insurance and got bloodwork done. Electrolytes, kidney function, autoimmune markers. Most came back fine. Except two didn't. ANA positive.Anti–double stranded DNA positive (low positive). Those markers can point toward autoimmune issues. Possibly lupus. I'm not self-diagnosing. I'm seeing a rheumatologist. But I finally have data instead of guesses. That matters. Don't Wait Until It's Out of Control Here's the prepper lesson. We stock food before we're starving.We store water before we're thirsty.We build first aid kits before we're bleeding. But most people ignore their blood pressure, ignore chronic fatigue, ignore pain, ignore lab work — until it explodes. At minimum: Get bloodwork once a year. Know your baseline numbers. Track changes over time. If something's off, address it early. You don't even have to rely entirely on a doctor to initiate it. There are affordable lab services where you can order panels yourself and see the numbers. That yearly snapshot alone is powerful. Preparedness includes your body. Stop White-Knuckling It For months, the only thing helping me push through fatigue was kratom. Say what you want — it helped me function. But that's a band-aid. It's not a diagnosis. White-knuckling your way through work, overtime, parenting, life — that's not strength. That's deferred maintenance. If you wouldn't run your truck with the oil light on for six months, don't do it to your body. You are the most important piece of gear you own. Final Thoughts I don't know yet what's going on with me. Maybe it's autoimmune. Maybe it's iron depletion. Maybe it's something else entirely. What I do know is this: ignoring it wasn't working. Take care of your health before it forces you to.Get the data. Make informed decisions.And stop pretending feeling terrible is just part of getting older.

The Unexpected Connection Between Snow and Blood Shortages Winter storms don't just strand motorists and close schools—they create life-threatening blood shortages that most Americans never consider. In a revealing conversation, host Janet Michael talks with Deb Fleming, Executive Director of the Greater Shenandoah Valley Chapter of the American Red Cross, to discuss how a recent severe winter storm exposed critical vulnerabilities in both our blood supply system and our personal preparedness plans. A Perfect Storm of Shortages The numbers paint a sobering picture. Before Winter Storm Fern even arrived, the Red Cross was already facing a severe blood shortage due to December's triple cancellation rate compared to the previous year. Then Fern hit, wiping out an additional 20,000 blood collections across the United States. Meanwhile, one of the worst flu seasons in 20 years kept potential donors home sick or caring for ill family members. "I don't think a lot of people think blood and weather go together," Deb explains. However, when roads become impassable and schools close—locations where many blood drives take place—the impact on blood collection becomes immediate and severe. Even more alarming, a third of Americans don't realize that if people don't donate, hospitals may not have blood available when they need it. Beyond the Three-Day Rule The recent storm also shattered conventional wisdom about emergency preparedness. While most disaster planning recommends three days' worth of supplies, Deb strongly advocates for two weeks of provisions—a recommendation that suddenly seemed prescient as communities remained snowbound far longer than anticipated. "We never think it's gonna happen to us," Deb admits, "but we are seeing this more often, that storms are bigger, they last longer and they do more damage." She emphasizes that preparing ahead of time eliminates the panic buying that leaves store shelves bare and neighbors without essential supplies. Small Disasters Within Big Disasters Furthermore, winter storms create cascading emergencies. House fires increase dramatically as people resort to alternative heating methods. Power grids strain under unprecedented demand, forcing some residents into Red Cross shelters not because they can't return home, but because their homes lack adequate heat. Communities face the prospect of spring flooding as massive ice formations on rivers begin to melt—a pattern that devastated West Virginia and Kentucky the previous year. Practical Steps for Prevention Interestingly, some disaster preparation involves prevention rather than stockpiling. During the recent storm, local electric companies warned customers about potential rolling blackouts due to grid strain. This prompted many residents to reduce their power consumption by unplugging unnecessary devices, lowering thermostats, and closing off unused rooms—strategies that not only helped prevent outages but also reduced utility bills. Deb shares her mother's Depression-era wisdom: separate cold rooms from warm ones, create insulated spaces using blankets and tents, and turn preparedness into family activities rather than sources of anxiety. "You wanna make sure that it doesn't feel like a burden for your children," she notes, "that it becomes something fun." The Car Kit You're Probably Missing Additionally, vehicle preparedness remains a critical blind spot for most people. Deb emphasizes that cars should contain blankets, flashlights, phone chargers, first aid kits, water, snacks, and a shovel—especially since many people must travel even during severe weather. She also warns against a common winter danger: running your car in deep snow can cause exhaust to back up into the vehicle, creating carbon monoxide poisoning risk. Taking Action Now Ultimately, the conversation circles back to the immediate crisis: the severe blood shortage. Deb urges listeners to schedule appointments at blood drives through redcross.org/blood, noting that each donation can save up to three lives. Organizations can also host or sponsor blood drives to help address the shortage. Looking ahead, the conversation promises to continue exploring seasonal preparedness challenges, with spring flooding preparedness on the agenda for March. As Deb reminds us, disaster preparedness isn't about preparing for distant catastrophes—it's about being ready for the six inches of snow with ice on top that can shut down your entire community. The message is clear: preparation today prevents panic tomorrow, and a single blood donation can mean the difference between life and death for someone in your community.

skills that pay Skills That Pay You Back in 30 Days | Episode 583 Most people think “learning a skill” means years of grinding before you see a payoff. That's wrong. There are a bunch of skills you can get to a useful level fast—like “top 10% because most people can't do it at all” fast—and they'll save you real money immediately. Some of them will be frustrating as hell. Some of them you'll need to learn when to stop and call a pro. But a few basic skills can save you hundreds… and sometimes thousands… in the next 30 days. The Cheat Code: “Top 10%” Is Shockingly Easy There's a bell curve to everything. Going from zero → competent is usually quick if you practice smart. Going from competent → elite is where it gets brutally hard. For prepping, you don't need elite. You need “I can handle basic problems without panic, and I'm not paying someone $300 for something I can do in an afternoon.” That's the sweet spot. Drywall Repair: Fast, Cheap, and Nobody Cares But You Drywall is probably the #1 “learn this and instantly stop bleeding money” skill. You can patch drywall a million ways. Some are janky but functional. Some look great and last. The key is picking the method that matches how much you care about the finish and how long you want it to hold up. Yes, if you post your drywall patch online, the “pros and armchair generals” will come tell you you're an idiot. Ignore them. Your wife will think you're a wizard because the hole is gone. And the first time you do it, you'll buy some basic tools—then you own them forever. That setup cost pays off fast. Basic Electrical: Replace an Outlet Before It Burns Your House Down Replacing an outlet is one of those skills that sounds scary until you do it right a couple times. Watch several videos. Get familiar with the process. Don't rush it. Electricity can kill you, and it can also burn your house down if you get lazy. Keep just enough fear to stay respectful. This isn't theoretical either—you can have an outlet overheat from a space heater pulling too much power. When you smell burning, the move is simple: kill the breaker and fix the problem, not “leave it and hope.” Once you know outlets, that leads to bigger wins: adding an outlet, moving an outlet, swapping a fixture—skills that stack with drywall work. Cut drywall, run wire, mount box, patch drywall, paint. Done. Plumbing: It's Annoying, But Fixing Leaks Pays in Blood Plumbing is a pain in the ass. That's just part of the deal. But the payoff is huge because busted pipes and leaks get expensive fast and ruin your whole day. The minimum viable plumbing skill is being able to stop the bleeding: cap something off, patch a busted line, fix a basic leak. Having a few tools and parts on hand matters—PEX tools (even if they're not perfect), a few fittings, and emergency push-to-connect fittings for when you just need water stopped now and you'll do it prettier later. Car Skills: Tires First, Then Diagnostics The number-one car skill isn't changing oil. It's tires. Changing a tire gets you home. Plugging a tire keeps that same tire running like nothing happened and can save you from buying a replacement. A tire plug is one of the highest-ROI skills you can learn quickly. From there, the next big upgrade is learning the common failures you'll actually see: ignition coils, basic sensors, and simple electrical issues. If you want to level up fast, having a basic diagnostic scanner at home is huge. Even if you don't fix everything, knowing what's wrong stops you from getting fleeced. The line is simple: when it turns into “it could be 20 different things,” that's usually when it's smarter to pay a professional to diagnose instead of playing expensive whack-a-mole. Know When to Stop: Skill Doesn't Mean Stupidity There are medical skills worth knowing—no question. But there's also a point where confidence turns into a bad decision. Having knowledge and tools is good. Deciding to pull your own tooth because you have a toothache is probably a terrible day. Preparedness includes knowing when to DIY and when to hand it off. Closing Skills are the prep that pays you twice: once in money saved, and again in confidence when something breaks at the worst possible time. Start with drywall. Learn basic outlet replacement. Get minimally competent at stopping leaks. Learn tires and tire plugs. Add a diagnostic scanner if you want to get dangerous. Learn fast. Save money. Stay independent.

"The value of things becomes zero when time is all you have left."  When systems fail, it isn't technology that determines what happens next—it's human behavior. Crisis strips away social norms and exposes how people respond to fear, scarcity, and uncertainty. Some move toward responsibility, others freeze, and some exploit the chaos. Preparedness, emotional regulation, and values become the difference between cooperation and collapse when order disappears.  G. Michael Hopf explores these dynamics through apocalyptic fiction grounded in realism. Drawing from lived experience, he focuses less on destruction and more on why people act the way they do under pressure. From EMP-driven grid failure to extinction-level events, his stories examine panic, opportunism, leadership, and moral choice—especially the moment when one person's action gives everyone else permission to cross a line.  Michael is a Marine Corps combat veteran and USA Today bestselling author with over 40 novels published and more than two million books sold. He is also a publisher, entrepreneur, and advocate for preparedness, resilience, and intentional living shaped by loss, discipline, and responsibility.  Learn more & connect:  More info on Michael, his many books and Beyond The Fray Publishing can be found at:  https://www.gmichaelhopf.com/  Also in this episode:  Meditations – Marcus Aurelius  Raymond Aaron has shared his vision and wisdom on radio and television programs for over 40 years.

Harry Weller is extremely knowledgeable on the topic of how we as Jews can defend ourselves, be prepared for and able to respond to threats. In this episode we discuss the need for, and resources available for Jews to learn self-defense, preparedness, how to deal with potential threats, and even the topic of gun ownership. Harry Weller is a long-time Connecticut attorney who served for decades as a Senior Assistant State's Attorney in the Connecticut Division of Criminal Justice. He is known for his work as a prosecutor and appellate litigator, handling a wide range of criminal appeals on behalf of the state. He argued numerous cases in the Connecticut Appellate and Supreme Courts, including high-profile criminal matters. He was a recipient of awards such as Prosecutor of the Year and the University of Connecticut School of Law's Public Service Award for his contributions to criminal justice. In addition, he has served as an Adjunct Professor at UConn Law School.

Navigating Dual Disasters: Ice Storms and Immigration in Emergency ManagementIn this episode of the EMN Podcast, the hosts explore the convergence of philosophy, disaster management, and uncomfortable truths within the emergency management profession. The discussion begins with a light-hearted joke, but quickly shifts to serious topics: the impact of ice storms in the Southeast and the political complexities around immigration enforcement in Minnesota. The hosts delve into the challenges emergency managers face in delivering services during crises, the importance of effective communication and collaboration, and the necessity of preparedness, mitigation, and recovery efforts. They stress the critical need for emergency managers to advocate for themselves, educate their communities, and navigate the political landscape to implement effective policies and procedures. The conversation also addresses the need for greater visibility into emergency management roles and the importance of proactive versus reactive measures to mitigate disasters.00:00 Introduction to the EMN Podcast00:58 Emergency Management and Ice Storms02:18 Challenges in Response and Recovery03:39 Preparedness and Mitigation Efforts07:03 Community Services and Messaging11:41 Policy Failures and Political Challenges22:19 Advocating for Emergency Management28:04 Conclusion and Final Thoughts This is a public episode.

In today's episode of Hope for the Caregiver, I begin with a reality caregivers understand instinctively: disruption rarely announces itself, and caregivers are often the ones who absorb the impact first. From ice storms devastating the Southeast to wildfire threats here in Montana, I reflect on how quickly normal life can unravel. For caregivers living close to the edge, preparation is not fear-driven living. It is stewardship. When power fails, routines collapse, and recovery stretches on far longer than expected, caregivers are often the ones holding everything together. From there, I turn to a sobering cultural moment: the coordinated disruption of a church service in Minneapolis. This was not spontaneous protest or isolated behavior. It involved planning, agreement, and coordinated action, and that distinction matters. When sacred spaces are deliberately disrupted, we are no longer debating policy. We are testing whether restraint still exists and whether consequences still matter. Silence in moments like this is not neutrality. It is assent. I then connect this moment to what caregivers already know through lived experience. Families navigating addiction, mental illness, and chronic volatility understand how quickly situations can escalate when emotions are raw and trust is thin. Caregivers survive by learning vigilance, establishing boundaries, and refusing to respond with panic or bravado. Scripture does not train us for theatrics. It trains us for endurance, clarity, and steadiness shaped by truth. In the final segment, I introduce our hymn of the week, "The Joy of the Lord," drawn from Nehemiah 8, and share a brief excerpt from a recording close to my heart. Biblical joy is not denial or emotional escape. It is strength rooted in the presence of God, especially when lives feel shaken and must be rebuilt from the rubble. I invite listeners to hear the full song on Spotify and other streaming platforms and to let it minister beyond this program. This episode is about preparedness without panic, vigilance without fear, and the kind of calm that is possible not because the threats are small, but because God is not. For caregivers, and for the church, endurance still matters. Truth still steadies. Hope remains.

Just when Erika tries to catch her breath in the homesteads, everything unravels. A tense confrontation with General Merkley forces her to confront the war's brutal priorities, Bennet pays the price for loyalty, and Virgis heads into the badlands to retrieve those left behind.

Survive winter storms by fortifying your home and securing backup heat. Focus on insulating pipes and creating micro-climates to stay warm and safe. The post Winter Storm Preparedness Guide (2026) appeared first on Mind4Survival.

The boys are back, but with a global twist as "Euro Chad" finally settles into his new life overseas, proving that moving a household might actually be more harrowing than a literal firefight. On this episode, they mix up a spicy cocktail of underdog victories and light geopolitical roasting, questioning if "nostalgia" is a strategy or just a slow death. Between celebrating Delta Air Lines and their massive commitment to people-first models and analyzing a "rupture" in the global order, the hosts explore why being at the table is the only way to avoid being on the menu. The global tech giants are sneezing and it makes us wonder if HR tech players will catch a cold as a result. From OpenAI's potential pivot toward ads and "Head of Preparedness" roles to the quiet death of Meta's Horizon Workrooms, no one is safe from the roast. They dive deep into whether Phenom's acquisition of Included AI is a stroke of "agentic" genius or a "spaghetti at the wall" tuck-in, while casting a skeptical eye on Jeff Taylor's latest venture, BoomBand. Whether it's the future of ChatGPT's job search ambitions or industry legends attempting to recapture lightning in a bottle, this episode is a masterclass in why you can't look away from the train wreck of innovation.

The escalating unrest in Iran is a stark reminder of what happens when a government no longer serves its people—and the people have no meaningful way to resist it. As protests intensify and the state responds with force, the imbalance of power becomes painfully clear: an armed government versus a disarmed population. In this episode of ZERT Coffee & Chaos, we examine why the Second Amendment is not an abstract political talking point, but a historical safeguard against tyranny. We discuss how authoritarian governments consolidate power, suppress dissent, and maintain control when citizens lack the means to defend themselves—physically, politically, or culturally. We then shift the conversation to what many Americans are watching unfold at home: large numbers of people choosing not to go to work, not to contribute to society, but instead to actively interfere with federal law enforcement operations. We break down how quickly the rule of law erodes when mob action is normalized, when enforcement is politicized, and when accountability disappears under the guise of activism. The discussion focuses on how disorder fills the vacuum when authority is challenged without consequences—and how everyday citizens are left exposed in the process. This episode is not about fear or hypotheticals. It is about recognizing patterns. History shows that freedom rarely collapses all at once—it degrades through chaos, selective enforcement, and the steady weakening of lawful authority. The Second Amendment exists because governments are composed of people, and people can become tyrannical when power goes unchecked. Preparedness is more than gear and supplies. It is understanding how quickly stability can unravel, recognizing warning signs early, and refusing to surrender responsibility for your safety and your liberty.

Forget the fear-mongering and broken forecasts.

This episode was a back to basics show. Simple stuff that we all need reminding about day to day in order to stay sharp. This is also the exact type of information to give to people new to prepping, especially the totally unprepared that “don't get it”. We all have fiends like that right? So many people seem to believe you are either some sort of “extreme doomsday prepper” or you are just normal.  I say that the way most people not normal.  I am talking about adults here and adults should be first and foremost responsible.  Responsible first for … Continue reading →

In this episode, I sit down with one of the most-watched independent voices in America for a wide-ranging conversation about the chaos and confusion many people feel right now. We talk about Minnesota unrest and immigration enforcement, why so many Americans feel politically homeless, and what it looks like when trust in institutions collapses. We also get into foreign policy, censorship, “unaskable” topics, and why preparedness matters more than ever, financially, physically, and spiritually. This is a raw conversation about where the country is headed, why people feel like the system isn't accountable, and what a normal person can actually do to protect their family and future.Follow Jimmy on Instagram: instagram.com/mrjimmyrexWatch more episodes on YouTube: youtube.com/@mrjimmyrex

Send us a textThis solo episode is part leadership talk, part reality check. Peaches opens with congratulations—and a warning—to newly selected Air Force Chiefs: the stripe isn't a finish line, it's a daily obligation. From there, he breaks down recent uniform and PT updates, why fitness standards exist beyond checklists, and how preparedness matters even in “non-combat” roles. The episode closes with a nuanced take on recruiting content—why dunking on recruiters misses the point, but accuracy still matters, especially when misinformation creates false expectations for candidates. Not outrage. Not hype. Just perspective, responsibility, and earned credibility.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 Ones Ready intro and solo format 01:20 Congrats to new Chiefs—and the warning 04:10 Earning the stripe every day 06:30 Leadership mistakes and learning publicly 08:50 Duty identifiers, boots, and Friday shirts 11:40 Why PT standards exist 14:30 Preparedness outside combat arms 16:50 Recruiting videos and internet outrage 18:40 Why accuracy beats hype 21:00 SEER explained correctly 23:30 Calling out misinformation the right way 26:00 Final thoughts on responsibility and trust
