Are You Part of the "Useful Class"?
Primal King Podcast
Are you a part of the "useful class" or the valuable class? It seems like we have gotten to a point in our country where people that bring the lowest overall value to our society recieve the most financial gain. This isn't a victim claim but rather a call out to those out there doing the most important and fulfilling work that almost always goes completely unrecognized. There will be people that trade (basically) fake numbers on a computer screen all day on Wall Street that make billions yet the people that literally build society struggle to get by. People that trade rounding errors on...

You Never Know What Someone Is Going Through...
Primal King Podcast
Sometimes it's really easy to take things personal. Maybe it's that guy that cut you off in traffic. Maybe it's that rude cashier or even that fight with a friend that you never saw coming. Maybe it's even someone taking their life that you would have never expected... The reality is, we don't ever truly know what someone may be going through but our reactions usually don't take those thoughts into mind. Yes, people should always have a certain amount of kindness and decency but it's also very easy for us to be so self-focused that no matter what the reason may be, we take it personal...and it...

Couples Edition-We Went On A CRUISE...and Here's What it Taught Us
Primal King Podcast
Derek and Jess don't get a lot of time to spend doing absolutely nothing...but it happened this past weekend on a cruise ship to Mexico and back! We all know how easy it is for us to get in the day to day grind and sometimes what we all need is a change of environment and, perhaps, a change of pace to learn some real lessons. This episode is based around the two biggest takeaways that Derek and Jess learned from being able to take a couple days away from the ranch, the kids, the work and everything else to re-charge and re-focus. This should be a good lesson for all of us to consider...
info_outlineCorrey Hawk is a primitive skills expert, a former contestant on the hit tv show "Alone" and the owner of Organic Archery.
Derek had the opportunity recently to connect with Correy at a wilderness mastermind and knew he had to have Correy on. In this episode they talk about why primitive skills are STILL important (despite all of our modern conveniences) as well as what impact nature can have on our overall mental health.
Also, Correy breaks down why our "addiction to busy-ness" is having a massively negative impact on us and our current society, why nature will harden our mindset and how you can be prepared if you are ever faced with a life or death survival situation.
We all take for granted things like clean water, shelter and food but what if something were to happen that put those things in danger? Make sure to listen in to Correy's expertise because it could literally save your life!
