Summary: TweetWhat a week, I am tired, worn out and for a yet to be fully disclosed reason about to be on a plane again on Friday. So I figure I better do my review of the happenings at Voices while everything is still fresh in my mind. The people are Voices were awesome and I have to say even the few that are what Paul Wheaton calls “purple breathers” there were pretty cool as well. In fact I have found that many of the “purple breathers” seem to be breathing less purple over the years. Perhaps Obama has done some good, by being so lousy at his job? It seems years of “getting what they asked for but not what they expected” may actually be pushing some folks from the left, not to the right but OUT of any belief in “the system” at all. The overall tone of most of the conference was very entrepreneurial and very libertarian leaning. There was actually almost no talk of actual politics, rather it was more here is where regs are in the way, this is how we are getting around them. Join Me Today as I Discuss… Flat out Diego Footer hit a home run with Voices! If they do this again, I will go back, it was that well done I think people put to much weight on single sentences of the “experts” If there is a Voices 2, I would like to see some speakers “step it up” on the solutions side The guys I want to go visit now are Greg Judy and Mark Sheppard, awesome! Joel Salatin is a good farmer, and a brilliant businessman, think fiefdoms If you want to speak at conferences, you might want to join toastmasters Some big opportunities are out there, top ones I see now are The nursery business (big or small) Grazing cattle, sheep, chickens, etc on OPL Alley cropping during “orchard establishment” Taking education beyond the “PDC” Taking an internship with an established farm Developing new varieties (plants, trees, birds, etc.) Urban design consulting I think “transition” is taking on a new meaning and a new momentum Resources for today’s show… Join the Members Brigade The Year 1318 Join Our Forum 13Skills.com Join Our Forum Walking To Freedom TSP Gear PermaEthos.com The Berkey Guy – (sponsor of the day) Harvest Eating – (sponsor of the day) The Soil Cube – (MSB Discounter of the day, 10% off) Permaculture Voices Podcast Remember to comment, chime in and tell us your thoughts, this podcast is one man’s opinion, not a lecture or sermon.
