    Understanding Money Part One – Epi-3833
    Apr 14 2026
    My hope today is to help you understand money from as many new perspectives as possible. If you think about it nothing in general has a greater effect on the lives of most Americans than money. Money is why we work, how we provide our housing and food, how we are taxed and how our class structure is defined. We can deny this if we choose to but a family with a gross income of 100,000 dollars a year lives a much more comfortable life than one with a gross income of say 25,000 a year.

    Grain to Grass: Breaking the 4th Gen Cycle – Epi-3830
    Apr 8 2026
