0:00.0	You're listening to the old-fashioned on-purpose podcast, where ambitious people master the art of returning to their roots.
0:11.0	Have you found yourself disenchanted with society or wishing you could
0:15.7	opt out of the rat race? Perhaps you're craving a life that's meaningful and tangible,
0:21.2	a life where you can create and produce instead of merely consume.
0:26.3	I'm Jill Winger, best-selling author and longtime homesteader.
