Hi folks, Jack Spirko here. Today you are listening to an episode of TSP Rewind.

Commercial free versions of past episodes podcast blast from the past.

I put these up when I can't do a show due to professional commitments or rare vacations.

These podcasts will appear in standard iTunes, Stitcher, and other feeds,

but will be titled TSP Rewind episodes and numbered accordingly.

And today we are rewinding back to March the 12, 2015,

was originally episode 1533. It was 12 guideposts to lifestyle design.

I love this subject, probably more than any subject that I cover.

I really do. And it's because it actually integrates with everything we do.

And honestly, God, this show could be called the Lifestyle Design Podcast.

And it's because no matter what we're talking about designing a preparedness plan,

a backup power plan, alternative housing, an investment plan, a budget plan,

a permaculture plan, a regenerative agriculture plan, a business plan.

It really all fits with lifestyle design.

And the reason that that's true is a lifestyle design plan,

absent resilience, will fail every time.

And so it won't even be a plan. There will be failures.

You will go to, you know, take a certain course and you'll fail it.

Like a direct failure. They'll be indirect failures.

You'll think your job is secure and you'll get fired.

You'll think that I don't really need to worry about anything.

I've got insurance on my vehicle.
