074 - Are We Living in THE FOURTH TURNING?

The cycles of history go round and round.
'The Fourth Turning' by William Strauss and Neil Howe identifies the stages of this cycle as: the high, the awakening, the unravelling, and the crisis.
A recurring cycle where periods of prosperity and hardship alternate, and shape the character and strength of individuals living in them.
Mark and Brent also get into decentralization, hard currency, children being pitted against parents, and more!
 
If you see signs of a crisis, where do you turn? Where can you turn?

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.

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!

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?
