0299 – Getting Children Into Car Seats Safely

Those of you out there that have children will understand what I mean when I say that my whole outlook on life changed when my kids entered my life.  All of a sudden, it wasn’t just about me any more.  A little person was dependent on my judgement and actions for survival.  It was a big responsibility that resulted in a big shift.  I recently got an email from Michelle that illustrates this point exactly.  Today we are going to take some time to look at how we can keep our children and ourselves safe while we are focused on an important task, putting our kids in their car seats.

0184 – My Podcast Playlist

Today will be a show that you want to make sure that you take a look at the show notes.  In an email this week Kory asked me to talk about some of the other podcasts that I listen to that are like minded.  It is a great question as I really feel that there is a ton of fabulous information out there.

The digital age and the web  have created a space where anyone that feels like they have a message can get that message out there inexpensively to a lot of people.  Double edge sword.

  • I don’t care about what just anyone has to say
  • Lots of info to wade through to find good stuff
  • Lots of podcasts leave you hanging

Podcasts are one of those tools and they are probably the most powerful tool out there IMO.

  • Reach a lot of people
  • Don’t require dedicated time

There are a lot of GREAT podcasts out there that I am not including in my list.  I used to have 15-20 hours a week to listen to podcasts.  Not any more.  I have really trimmed the fat as I have less time to sort through information that isn’t important and I also need to avoid information overload to help keep my show on point.

  • Podcasts that specifically fit the niche I am interested in.
  • Don’t waste my time.
  • I look for podcasts that are focused on a specific goal.

0126 – What We Need to Take From the Events in Japan

The devastation in Japan is awesome.

It is impossible to not sit up and take notice over what is taking place in the aftermath.

Estimates of more than 10,000 dead are difficult to imagine.  Some that have survived are enduring incredible hardship.

There are two things that we should be doing:

  1. helping out
  2. learning

Today we are going to focus on the learning.

When we look at the aftermath of disasters we cant help but to notice some similarities in the hardships of those who have survived.  A disaster of the magnitude we are seeing in Japan, or in Haiti, or with Katrina has the potential to deeply disrupt all of the systems around you that you depend on.  The people left behind after a disaster are in need:

  • Water
  • Fire/shelter/power
  • Food
  • Medical supplies

We should have what we can on hand to handle these needs.  The more we do, the safer and more secure we will be.  I work to keep these assets in play in three arenas:

  • My home
  • My transportation
  • My person

The greatest resource I can give you on Modern Survival is The Survival Podcast.
