Continuing our focus on solutions, this week we’re joined on the podcast by Jack Spirko. His\u00a0daily podcast\u00a0<\/a>focuses on practical, actionable steps each of us can take to “live a better life, if times get tough or even if they don’t” — a mission nicely aligned with the one we pursue here at Peak Prosperity.<\/p>\n

In this wide-ranging discussion, Jack and Chris discuss the need for spreading awareness of\u00a0the Three Es<\/a>, the professional challenges in doing so, and how individuals can go about pursuing both security and prosperity in the face of the likely disruptive changes to come:<\/p>\n

We’ve had these people predicting:\u00a0This is the Big One!\u00a0<\/em>for 25 years. These people are hucksters who just want to make money. “End of America”, “The world is going to end!”, “In six months the dollar is going to collapse!” — people have been marketed these messages. Here’s my concern: it’s going to become Chicken Little. And when we really are at a point where you and I are going “Uh, guys…”, no one’s going to listen.<\/p>\n

So as it relates to preparedness: being prepared for the grid to go down for a couple of months — great goal. Wonderful. But I look at preparedness this way: if you and I are in a car together and we’re going to drive from Miami, Florida to Portland, Maine, we’re going to go to Georgia before we go to Virginia unless we’re really dumb people without a map.<\/p>\n

So when somebody asks me about preparedness, my first question is:\u00a0Do you have 30 days worth of food stored up in your home?<\/em>\u00a0No? Then stop worrying about the grid going down.\u00a0Do you have enough money to go 90 days without income and be okay?\u00a0<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
