Kurt is back and he gives an update on his homestead as well as tips from how he is building local community. And we talk about how to recession-proof your job with an entrepreneurial mindset.

  • Community building tips:
    • Volunteer to help people setup their garden in the Spring or clean it up in the Fall.
    • Doing this, Kurt got free raspberry plants.
    • Hold events and workshops
  • Learn new skills - as you learn skills, work up a portfolio of skills as an investment. It is a money sink, but necessary.
  • He is coordinating with local restaurants to get food scraps for compost.
  • NRCS application and using Fed programs for your benefit.
  • Parallel Economy and how to recession proof your job.
