What is the core problem that you are trying to solve? How does Thriving the Future help you to solve that problem?

...or is it just entertainment?

The best testimonial I ever received was from Jason Snyder from Doomer Optimism:

"Shout out to Thriving the Future, relentlessly upbeat and practical, all about making your life more resilient and regenerative, doesn't get involved with Twitter drama."

Wow. Jason gets it. And has described my Brand very well.

Episode website: Ep. 135 – Why Are You Listening to This Podcast?

I am taking the Permaculture Business Design Course from Regeneration Nation CR and one of the exercises is a Deep Dive on your "Why?".

You ask yourself: "Why are you doing this?" or "Why do you want to do this?" (if you are starting something new).

You keep asking "Why" until you run out of answers.

In Justin Welsh's Newsletter on Saturday Jun-22, he talked about your number one Priority for a side hustle: "A successful side hustle doesn't solve a problem that's too broad or vague."

Reality Check. Doing a podcast is great until at the end of Year 1 when your hosting doubles. And at the end of Year 2 it doubles again.

Thriving the Future Podcast does not make enough money to cover hosting, plugins, and Zoom licensing fees. It takes a lot of trees sold to pay for podcast hosting.

What you can do:

If you like this content and the podcast, here is how you can support the podcast and my Thriving empire of side hustles:

• Shoot me a tip on Venmo or CashApp @ThrivingtheFuture.
• ​Go to the Stuff page on Thriving the Future site and buy something.
• OR - click on one of the Amazon links on the Stuff page and then buy your other stuff that you want. Anything you buy on Amazon for 24 hours will give Thriving the Future a credit (a Piece of the Action).
• Buy comfrey crowns or cuttings on Grow Nut Trees. More trees will be available in Sept.
• Go to my other site AllGardenAdvice.com - Gardening Ideas and Tips, and check out the articles and stuff.

Opportunity Cost is a Reality Check

Because here's the reality check - if the podcast doesn't make a difference, if it isn't solving your problems, if it doesn't make money and break even, I have to look at spending my time and money on something else. Sorry, but that's reality, and Opportunity cost is a reality check.
