Summary: Subscribe at iTunes It is ironic to come into my studio to produce this podcast and my overhead light wouldn’t come on… I was in the dark. But, nanites be damned, I only had to replace the light bulb. If only I could have as easily replaced The Engineer with another sharp, thoughtful and most developed critical thinker when it comes to war gaming on disasters, products, inventions, business ideas, and the political realm with another… maybe… perhaps I may have continued this journey along side “Revolution.” We decided to produce our “Swan Song” as a way to provide a conclusion to our endeavor and not simply have our listeners wonder if the power had just gone out and never came back on. In this episode, you will learn the reasons for this decision and, of course, some side windings we take down the path of “what would you do?” We grapple to tie a bow on the logic and intuition warring with each other to come to a rational conclusion. I, for one, focused on my devotion to speak power to truth to my listeners and even with the show may veer away from my initial reason to podcast; I believe we offered a unique perspective beyond the mere field of “fanboy reviews.” Hopefully, you, as a listener have been introduced to a different way to view the world, even through the filter of TV fantasy, maybe you will determine to take that path least trodden and apply your curiosity to learning new skills and preparing a way to thrive, as a friend would say, “when times get tough or even if they don’t.” I (Jake) have determined to launch a new podcast right in the heart of the skills it would take to live in a world like “Revolution” and will be launching it in the near future. The new podcast is related to the website 13 skills – This site is a place where you can go and set your own goals to learn self-reliant skills and how to put yourself into a position to thrive when the systems we are used to break down or are derailed due to outside forces beyond your control. I have secured http://www.13skillspodcast.com and have received encouragement from the founder of 13skills.com to develop my intent to offer a one-stop shop to learn new skills one at a time. Check back to see if the site is ready to go. I intend to interview those who have reached a level of proficiency with a new skill to those who may be master teachers of that skill and then go farther; Offer the best videos, blogs, books and other resources to dive in and take the best approach to learn skills to improve your quality of life. Whether it’s learning to use a firearm, keeping bees to canning food, a place to get the tools and get equipped to face tough times. 13skills.com is where you can lay out your goals; connect with others who may become your mentors, peers or simply another friend in that community. It will be a fun journey as you are opened to a new world of adventure in real life. 13skills.com has over 150 self-reliant and life skills to help you get better at what you know or start fresh with a new discipline – go check it out and open up an account and start learning. In the meantime, please leave us a comment and let us know how you feel about this decision. I believe, and so does The Engineer, the freedom we yearn to express in the greatest country on earth is only viable when people are free to take care of themselves with the knowledge, skill and application to get the job done. This is why the slogan for 13skillspodcast is this: Learn Skills, Build Community, PreserveLiberty If you were able to get a taste of this mindset through RevolutionFanCast then I encourage you to head over to both sites and get started.
