All Around Growth

In this episode of All Around Growth, we take you through our ongoing journey at York Meadow Farm as we search for the perfect permaculture designer to help bring our vision to life. We explore what permaculture is, how it differs from regenerative agriculture, and why these practices are crucial for sustainable farming. You'll hear about the four designers and firms we've connected with so far, the challenges of aligning busy schedules, and the excitement of finding the right fit for our 19.62-acre homestead. Plus, Patreon subscribers get an exclusive update on who we’ve talked to and where we stand with each one. Join us for an insightful episode as we document this important step in our farm's development, share lessons learned, and discuss our next steps toward a more sustainable future. ~ Like & Follow on Social Media or connect via email!

In today’s episode, we draw a lighthearted comparison between this podcast and Seinfeld—the show famously about "nothing." I share the inspiration behind this podcast, including insights from one of the most influential content creators who has shaped my journey over the past 14 years, pushing me to become more of a creator than a consumer. As I continue to "figure out what I want to do," this podcast has evolved into a space where I share my personal journey with you—sometimes feeling like "a show about nothing," yet reflecting a lot about who I am and where I’m headed. We dive into the history of the show, past podcasting attempts, struggles with financial debt, emotional burnout, and the challenge of staying focused. You'll see how a show about "nothing" is actually a window into my life, faith, and experiences within the Church. I also discuss our very first video call for Patreon supporters, the relationships blossoming within the All Around Growth Community, and how your involvement is helping me grow and shape the show. We'll talk about business relationships, the structure of life on the homestead, and why I sometimes question if I'm truly living the homesteading life. How does this podcast tie into the cooperative spirit of York Meadow Farm? I’m still figuring that out, but it's all part of the ongoing planning and development here on the homestead, including work on a comprehensive land development and permaculture design. This podcast will always be a space for exploration, even when I'm not quite sure what I’m doing—but I’m definitely enjoying the ride. So, tune in and join me as we explore everything and nothing, all at once. ~ Like & Follow on Social Media or connect via email!

Join us for a poignant episode as we dive into the profound significance of Forgiveness Sunday and the Rite of Forgiveness in the Orthodox Church, marking the beginning of Great Lent. In a heartfelt announcement, I share my decision to depart from the podcast and social media for the duration of this sacred season, seeking introspection and spiritual renewal. Throughout this episode, we explore the essence of forgiveness and repentance, key themes of Lent, through insightful articles by Fr. George Morelli. "Forgiveness: The Heart and Repentance" and "The Ethos of Lent" shed light on the transformative power of forgiveness and the spiritual ethos that defines this sacred period. As we embark on this Lenten journey, I also share the profound words of Kerry Patrick San Chirico in "Lenten Transformation," a reflection that resonates deeply with the spirit of this season. Together, these resources provide a rich tapestry of understanding, guiding us towards a deeper connection with ourselves, each other, and the Orthodox Christian faith. In the show notes, you'll find links to these enlightening articles, offering further exploration into the Lenten season and its significance in the Orthodox tradition. May this period of reflection and repentance lead us towards the joyous celebration of Christ’s Resurrection and the continual resurrection in our own lives.

Welcome to a special episode of the All Around Growth podcast. Today, I'm excited to take you on a journey through an unforgettable experience that occurred at the Ancient Faith Singles Retreat held at the Antiochian Village over the weekend. Join me as I open up about how this event truly transformed my life. I'll be sharing my own personal reflections, hoping to give you a taste of the incredible moments we shared during the retreat. Whether you're tuning in to reminisce about your own retreat memories or you missed out on this unique experience, this episode is your chance to dive into the beauty of that weekend from my perspective. Thank you for being part of this journey with me. I'm grateful to have experienced it with you. The Ancient Faith Singles Retreat 30+ is a gathering of Orthodox Christians who are at least 30 years of age, unmarried (single, divorced, widowed), and living in the world. The weekend will include daily matins and vespers, and Sunday Divine Liturgy. The group will participate in interactive, leader-led discussion sessions, opportunities for community service, games, and social activities, and free time for relaxation and fellowship. The Antiochian Village is a Christian conference and retreat center located on 300 acres in the beautiful Laurel Highlands of southwestern Pennsylvania, just six miles north of the historic town of Ligonier. Owned and operated by the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America, Antiochian Village was established in 1978 through the vision and leadership of the Archbishop, Metropolitan Philip, who dreamed of a place where the faithful of all ages could meet, worship, and become closer to God, away from the distractions of daily life. ~ Discussion Links: Intro Music: Byzantine chant.

In this episode, we share the highlights of the recent gathering of the Medina County Freedom Cell Network that took place on Saturday, January 27th. Freedom Cells, consisting of approximately 8 local individuals, operate in a decentralized manner to empower members through education, peaceful non-compliance, and the establishment of parallel institutions.

The episode concludes with a call to action for each member to establish their inner cadre, sharing progress or challenges at the next monthly meeting. I also take a moment to share my personal goals for the inner cadre, proposing the development of a bug-out plan and documentation package.

Join me on today's podcast as we delve into insightful quotes from St. Anthony the Great and the witty George Carlin. We navigate through diverse topics such as politics, local communities, and the impact of social media, with a special focus on the notorious "Communist China owned and operated Tik Tok." In the midst of a community dispute about Trump and Biden, we raise thought-provoking questions: We explore the willingness to acknowledge when we're wrong and unravel a simple photo that encapsulates my "hot take" on Western/American politics in the 20th and 21st centuries. This photo sparks a quote and a clip from the iconic George Carlin. The conversation extends to addressing questions, comments, and topics from Kyriaki via Patreon, leading us to unpack the profound quote by St. Anthony the Great: “Which is older — the mind or the book? And which is the source of the other? So, to the man whose mind is sound, there is no need for books to attain wisdom.” Tune in to discover my political compass, anchored in God and a life inspired by the teachings of Christ. The exploration becomes clearer as we delve into the life story of St. Anthony the Great and connect it to the landscape of modern American politics. ~ Like & Follow on Social Media or connect via email!

Welcome to the Season 5 premiere, where we embark on a journey of simplifying life and finding balance. After a genuine conversation with Brian of The Lots Project and some downtime recovering from a cold, I've been immersed in reflections. This episode dives deep into the abundance in my life, exploring returns on investments beyond finances and pondering the impact when our contributions lean towards mediocrity. In today's episode, I open up about goals, our Patreon account, and the future of the show. Life's limitations ground me in reality, emphasizing the importance of focusing on current priorities. Managing the production and sales of fermented foods to meet our customer needs while positioning for growth has become a top priority. We take a trip down memory lane, unpacking the history of the show a bit more than we did in our previous episode titled Unveiling Our 2023 Podcast Stats and What's Next in 2024!
