Today we're diving into one of the most overlooked but powerful tools in the self-reliance toolbox: growing mushrooms at home. Not some niche hobby, not some weird hippie project, but a legitimate food production system you can run in your kitchen, spare room, or even a closet. Fast results, scalable, cheap to start, and packed with benefits most people never even think about. We're talking about a complete protein that grows on trash, in small spaces, with little more than humidity, light, and time. Mushrooms like oyster and lion's mane can replace grocery store purchases and even mimic the flavors … Continue reading →

Welcome back to the Soul Summit Podcast – Presented by Her Outdoor Journey and proudly sponsored by Maven Optics, Bakcou E-Bikes, HOYT Archery, onX Maps, and Sawyer Products! Key Takeaways: Amanda Rose, founder of Athena Tactics, shares her mission to empower women through personal protection training. Education and proper training are essential before purchasing a firearm—knowledge builds confidence. Many women face misconceptions about their capability to safely handle firearms, which Amanda works to break down. Developing situational awareness is a foundational skill in personal safety and self-defense. Amanda explains how fear of firearms often stems from a lack of exposure and education, not the tool itself. “Guns are inanimate; people are the variable.” The danger lies in human behavior, not the object. Women can remain feminine and powerful, embracing both style and self-reliance. Training helps women overcome the flinch response, improving accuracy and control at the range. It's crucial to choose a firearm based on personal comfort and individual needs—there is no one-size-fits-all. Amanda emphasizes the value of community and support among women, especially in male-dominated spaces like firearms training.

When we think about homemaking, we often focus on the daily tasks - the cooking, cleaning, laundry, and everything else that's required to manage our homes well. But when we step back and really look at the bigger picture, homemaking is about so much more. It's about the atmosphere we create, the memories we build, and the lessons we pass down. Long after we are gone, our homes will continue to tell our stories. They will hold the echoes of laughter, the warmth of love, and the subtle but powerful legacy we leave behind.Send us a textSupport the showThe Farm Wife (website)Let's Visit!

Some African leaders regard United States President Donald Trump's decision to halt aid to the continent as an opportunity to foster self-reliance. They have already initiated plans to mobilise the necessary resources to reshape Africa's aid landscape. “Trade, not aid, is now the pillar of our policy in Africa,” said United States ambassador Troy Fitrell, from the Bureau of African Affairs, in a speech on 14 May at business summit in Abidjan.The declaration settles any doubts over the Trump administration's position on aid towards Africa. The US – the world single largest aid donor in the world, according to the United Nations – no longer wants to disburse billions in foreign aid, despite the fact that it represents a small percentage of its entire budget.In 2023, the US spent $71.9 billion in foreign aid, which amounts to 1.2 percent of its entire budget for that fiscal year.President Donald Trump repeatedly stated that aid is a waste. For years, Africa has been the region receiving more funding from the United States than any other.Across the African continent, Trump's executive orders were initially met with shock, anger, and despair — but also with a renewed determination to change course and place African resources at the heart of African healthcare.In February, at an African Union summit, Rwandan President Paul Kagame announced that the AU's health institutions, including the Centres for Disease Control, would take the lead in seeking alternatives to US funding.“Africa now finds itself at a crossroads. The health financing landscape has shifted dramatically.“I propose that, over the next year, we work together to define new mechanisms for concrete collaboration on healthcare among governments, businesses, and philanthropies,” he told African leaders.“The work of building our continent, including our healthcare systems, cannot be outsourced to anyone else.” To untangle what is going on, for this edition of Interntional Report, RFI interviewed Eric Olander, editor-in-chief of the China-Global South Project; Chris Milligan, former foreign service officer at USAID, in Washington; Mark Heywood, human rights and social justice activist in South Africa, co-founder of the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC); Onikepe Owolabi, vice president of International research at the Guttmacher institute in New York; Monica Oguttu, founding executive director of KMET, Kisumu Medical and Education Trust, in Kenya.

Thank you. This is Renegade Files Episode 84: Forbidden Self Reliance and the Rent Seeking Pimpocracy. When a large enough contingent of the economy as a whole, is made up of jobs that add no value, then the Self-Reliance activities in society that bypass those mechanisms, become vilified by employees of the no-value-added processes. In this episode we will dissect what that sentence means for you and I as individuals, and explore how the activity described has impacted society. To do so we will coin a new term, the Pimpocracy. A pimp is someone who adds no value to the transaction, but profits by way of allowing the transaction to take place. A pimp positions himself as the parasitic middleman, taking his cut without participating. In fact, his only participation is the talking of his cut. This precisely describes a vast amount of activity in the modern American system of Big Government's collusion with Big Business. For example, one of the most ancient ways to feed yourself is by fishing. Fishing is a definitive Self-Reliant activity. But now, if you want to use a stick, and a string, and a hook baited with a minnow, to catch a fish, you must have a fishing license. The person whose job it is to sit in the county tax collector's office, take your information, and your money, then issue you a license to fish, adds nothing to your ability to catch fish. They exist simply as a middle-man between you and the fish. And for this, they take their cut. This is their job. Their livelihood. They are, in effect, pimping the fish themselves, for without those, there would be no fishing and thus no license. Extrapolate that across a myriad of building permits, vehicle registrations, license plates, insurance mandates, property taxes, business permits, Bankers who charge you to store and retrieve your own money, government commissioners who debate endlessly, and on and on ad-nauseum. Much of our modern economy is built upon jobs like these where the only purpose of the job, is to take a percentage of the money passing between two people trying to do business. I say this is a pimpocracy. Fiat currency not only fuels it, but demands it, but there are solutions and realistic ways out of the cycle, and if you come with me today we will explore what this all is, how it happens, and in defining it, see some clear ways out of it. So join me and together we will explore Forbidden Self Reliance and the Rent Seeking Pimpocracy. Help Crowdfund RF on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/renegadefiles Get cool RF Merch https://therenegadefiles.com/shop/Visit and Share the Website http://therenegadefiles.comDig us on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@renegadefiles Follow RF on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/renegadefiles/ Links Mentioned in Show:Renegade Files Episode 54, Occult Magic in Modern Science. See pics of existing Sears Mailorder Homes next to their original catalog elevation sketches and floor-plans here: https://searshomes.org/index.php/2012/04/10/the-kit-homes-of-raleigh-nc/  If you like the show, please leave us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify if you think we deserve it.

Too many people think that homemaking isn't really a profession, job, or worthwhile end goal. I mean, all it takes to run a home is to do a few loads of laundry, cook meals, and do a bit of tidying up, right? But we as homemakers know better. There's more to homemaking than stirring a pot or pushing a vacuum. There's budgeting, problem-solving, time management, conflict resolution, meal planning, and so much more. Years ago, Home Economics was a real college degree. Today, our academic societies have all but dropped that curriculum. But if it was brought back, what would it look like? Listen in to this fun look at what you would sign up for if you decided to get your college degree in Homemaking!Send us a textSupport the showThe Farm Wife (website)Let's Visit!

With only raw materials, could you recreate a toaster? Now could you do it considering the source of your materials, the effect extracting them has on the world, along with the use and inevitable destruction of it. This episode's guest did just that. Starting with the extraction of the materials, including learning 15th century techniques for smelting, created a toaster. Reflecting upon that project in today's world, is the topic of this episode. Where we dive into the philosophy of design needing a refresh in todays world in order to live in better harmony with our reality. Thomas Thwaites, Artist and Designer, joins me for this conversation. Check out his website for all of his projects, his TED talk and the project he's currently working on, a harmless car.

What if everyday moments—like washing dishes or sitting in traffic—could actually connect you to heaven? In this episode, we're diving into what it really means to live into your identity as a beloved son or daughter of God. We'll chat about the baptismal priesthood—not as some abstract theology, but as a real, lived-out calling to be a bridge between heaven and earth. Whether you're changing a diaper or heading into a meeting, worship isn't just for Sunday mornings—it's for every part of your life. I sit down with Fr. Michael Voithofer, and we talk about how worship shifts our focus, heals our hearts, and draws us into God's presence where we can actually rest. You'll hear how starting your day with a posture of poverty of spirit—just being honest about your need for God—can transform the way you live, love, and lead. So grab your coffee, take a breath, and join us as we explore what it looks like to live from a place of sonship, freedom, and joy—bringing God's presence into every moment. Are you ready to live like you're deeply loved and fully sent?

Homemaking is a lot like a diamond. It's not just one thing - it's a collection of skills, responsibilities, and heartwarming moments that come together to create something truly special. If you think about it, a diamond shines because of its many facets. Each one catches the light in a different way, reflecting its brilliance from every angle. And in the same way, homemakers have multiple facets—each one an essential part of what makes a home function smoothly and feel warm and welcoming.Send us a textSupport the showThe Farm Wife (website)Let's Visit!

It's easy to feel strong when we've just come off a spiritual high—like we've seen God move and we're ready to take on the world. But then life hits, and we realize we've started relying more on ourselves than on Jesus. That's what happened with the disciples. After seeing Jesus in His glory, they couldn't cast out a demon—not for lack of effort, but because they were operating in their own strength. Jesus points out that real faith means real dependence—not just when things are hard, but all the time. Whether you're exhausted from striving, carrying doubts like the desperate father, or coasting on past wins, Jesus is calling you back to full trust in Him.You can join our OneLife Sunday morning gatherings via livestream at 8:45am and 10;30am CST every Sunday morning.

SummaryIn this engaging episode of Startup Junkies, hosts Caleb Talley and Daniel Koonce sit down with Eric Howerton, serial entrepreneur, co-founder of White Spider, and currently the co-founder of AdFury.ai. The conversation dives into Eric's journey as an entrepreneur, his approach to solving niche problems in the retail media and advertising space, and the importance of relentless purpose over simple profit-seeking.Eric introduces AdFury.ai, a new SaaS platform that leverages artificial intelligence to automate the creation of highly relevant display and video ads for retailers and agencies.

He emphasizes emotional intelligence, resilience, and having a clear sense of purpose, warning that entrepreneurship isn't for the faint of heart or those simply chasing a lifestyle or wealth. Instead, it's about being deeply committed to solving real problems and being prepared to persevere through inevitable adversity. Eric's candid reflections and practical advice make this episode a meaningful listen for anyone considering, or currently navigating the entrepreneurial path.

What is healthy and helpful self-reliance? I submit that few of us know and most of us are falling to one side or another of unhealth. On one side we exercise very little self-reliance, which means if we are not relying on self, we are relying on others. On the other side is an overabundance of self-reliance where we rely almost exclusively on ourselves and hardly at all on others. So is there a happy medium? Or are there some aspects of our lives where we should be super self-reliant and other areas where we should seek out help? This is why I brought on Maha Abouelenein, as her new book is titled, 7 Rules of Self-Reliance: How to Stay Low, Keep Moving, Invest in Yourself, and Own Your Future. Maha is a personal branding expert, CEO and founder of global communications consulting firm Digital and Savvy, and a best-selling author. She has a long, impressive pedigree of success in the corporate world in the Middle East and in America, but none of it is why I brought her on the show. Maha had a challenging upbringing that gave her every reason to be a victim and not practice self-reliance. And she's experienced the consequences of unhealthy self-reliance on both sides. My focus was taking on the topic of self-reliance to understand how we are doing it poorly, and how to do it with greater success.
