070 - Mike Hutten - How to Start a Regenerative Farming Business

How can we be better stewards in God's created order? What are the hidden costs of abandoning that order? Are we prepared to pay those costs? 
 
Today, Mark and Brent sit down with Mike Hutten for a second time. 
 
Mike is a farmer. But not just any farmer.
Mike is an unconventional, ecological, sustainable, regenerative farmer from The Good Ground Natural Farm. 
 
Listen to our first conversation with Mike, Is There a Better Way to FEED THE WORLD?
 
Listen on Spotify     -     Listen on Apple Podcasts     -     Watch on YouTube
 
This time, we get into monetary debasement, band-aid solutions to the world biggest problems, and bitcoin. 
 
If you have ever considered getting into farming (but don't have $10M sitting around) Mike explains the regenerative farming business model, and the potential to make a living in this space. Making a living by producing good food, may not be as out of reach as you think.

067 - Trudeau Promises to RAISE (and lower) HOME PRICES!

How are you going to FUND YOUR RETIREMENT?
If you own a house, chances are, you are planning to use part (or all) of your home equity to fund all (or part) of your retirement. What a disaster it would be if the housing market collapsed right before you retired! 
Well, do not fear. Justin Trudeau is here!
He will ensure that real estate prices do not fall! With sky-high home prices you can retire in style! And for those of you who are nowhere close to retirement and don't own a house, Justin will also ensure that home prices become affordable!
How home prices will be HIGH and LOW at the same time is a mystery only the experts can understand.

065 - Jordan Bush - Should We THANK GOD for BITCOIN?

A recent survey found that the two most riveting subjects on planet earth are economics and theology. Now imagine a podcast episode where both of these subjects are combined!
 
In this episode, Mark and Brent chat with Jordan Bush. Jordan is the co-author of the book Thank God for Bitcoin. He was a missionary in Uruguay, and is now executive director at Thank God for Bitcoin, and host of the Thank God for Bitcoin Podcast. 
 
They discuss the reason behind the TGFB name and the company's mission. Are there really moral consequences to using unsound money? What are the ethics of money production? What does the Bible have to do with Bitcoin?

064 - What Should YOUNG PEOPLE Do? with producer Gideon

Life is so difficult.
There are no more opportunities, I am so busy and stressed. The previous generation had it way easier.
What can young people do? Will they ever get to own a house? Why is life so difficult for them?
 
This episode, Brent and Mark bring on their producer, Gideon. He is young, attractive, and very intelligent. He is definitely not writing this description.
What good has ever come out of enduring something difficult? In the spirit of enduring difficulty, we have made the audio quality very poor, but it is for your benefit.

063 - The Sovereign Individual

We are living in the Information Age.
 
This era is defined by the ability to collect, store, process, and transmit vast amounts of data really quickly. This leads to profound changes in how people work, interact, and perceive the world around them.
 
Mark and Brent are a bit old school. This is why today they decided to talk about a book. So old school in fact, that the book they chose to read is from last millennium. The Sovereign Individual by James Dale Davidson and William Rees-Mogg is about mastering the transition to the information age.

062 - What if Everything Falls Apart?

The Canadian Government has released their budget for next year! They are clearly doing their best to ensure that Canada is not a place where we incentivize people to provide value to the marketplace.
Instead, changes were made to the capital gains inclusion rate. Which basically means increasing taxes on gains made on already taxed money.
Brent and Mark begin this episode by breaking down the newly released Canadian budget. Then they answer a listener question about Bitcoin. They end the episode by recapping some insights from the episode with Jeff Booth.
