So last year we did a sixth month TB fast. Actually it started off as a three month TB fast. Actually it started off as a three-month TV fast but then we stretched

it out into six months and it was a really interesting exercise that taught us a

lot of things as a family and it also kind of broke the internet when I talked

about it online. So today I want to chat about this decision and all of the things we learned

from it in more of a long form format in case

you missed it over on social media and I think there'll be some really interesting

takeaways for you if you have a family that tends to be a little bit more connected to their screens than you like.

Welcome to Old Fashion on Purpose. This is the show where we explore what we have left behind as we have raced towards progress as a society.

And not only that, but how we can get the best parts back.

I'm your host, Joe Winger,

and we have been home sitting here out on the White Open

Wyoming Prairie since 2008.

I love living this old-fashioned life,

and I especially love teaching other people,

just like you, how to take these skills

and weave them into your modern day today and to get all of the benefits that comes with that.

So this topic today is a little bit different.

It's not a tutorial, it's not an interview, I don't have anybody here with me. It's just me in my studio

But I think it fits really well into this idea of living old-fashioned on purpose because in essence being an old-fashioned on-purpose person

is about living in an intentional way not just being someone who's carried

along by the waves or the whims of culture, but you're thinking about what you're doing

and you're making very intentional choices and that is really the genesis of where this whole topic began in our family.
