Summary

What happens when the work we do no longer serves our families—but separates them? In this thought-provoking and deeply resonant episode, Ginny Yurich sits down with Rory Groves, author of Durable Trades and The Family Economy, to uncover why modern life feels so unstable—and what we can do about it. From brittle supply chains to generational fragmentation, Rory exposes how the very systems we were told to rely on are now cracking under pressure. But there is another way. One that’s slower, older, and surprisingly resilient: the family economy. Whether you're a parent, homeschooler, or simply someone who senses something is off, this conversation will reframe how you think about work, legacy, education, and security. Rory shares how starting with a single tomato plant led him to a life of greater connection and purpose—and how you can begin reclaiming stability right where you are. This is one of the most important episodes we’ve ever recorded. → Learn more at https://thegrovestead.com → Explore events at https://gatherandgrow.us → Get the books: Durable Trades and The Family Economy Learn more about your ad choices.
