Day 2 : NEXT STEPS: BUILDING A PARALLEL SOCIETY

Day 2

We started our day with an impromptu one-on-one (well two) Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber education session with Bill Schindler, who opened the first Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber clinic 23 years ago. He told us the most fascinating story, and schooled us on the SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT therapy, prevention, and treatment for pretty much any disease or illness you can imagine. Hint: It’s way more than the 13 or so diagnoses that are approved for in hospital use. We will share MUCH MORE about this later, as he is speaking tomorrow, but for now, let’s just say…when in doubt, go find a hyperbaric oxygen chamber…preferably one of his :)

Hyperbaric PHP

Speaking of school…the next speakers talked about Homeschooling (or Unschooling) and homesteading.

“How Can I Create the Most Change?”  ~ Jaydee Azavari

We unfortunately missed the homesteading part while we learning all about the HBOT, but we slipped in to hear from the amazing Jay and Jaydee Azavari, founders of the Appalachian Academy of Therapeutic Arts … Talk about a dream “school” for kids. If you’re in the Asheville area, please check them out…And even if not, if you are looking to start your own, this is scalable and doable for anyone.

Next we heard from the amazing, charismatic, and inspiring Matt Beaudreau, former public school educator, administrator and Stanford professor, and now the founder of Acton Academy and Apogee Strong Matt Beaudreau. He discussed slave mindset, conveyor belt school, words that need to be scratched from our vocabulary like grades, grade levels, homework, “fine”… and 5 NEXT STEPS for parents when it comes to really educating our kids…

1. Focus on EXPERIENCE

2. Make reading FUN

3. Focus on solving interesting problems

4. Give kids responsibilities - a lot - and celebrate their discipline and consistency

5. Do great things yourself and bring them along with you (this is our FAVE!!)

Self and Home Defense

Then we learned all about Self and Home Defense from some amazing men…Patrick Collis, John Lovell, and Preston Hocker

Some great questions and things to think about from Patrick Collis…Spartan Investigations & Executive Protection

“What would you do if someone broke into your house?”

Are you mentally prepared?

“Everyone claims to be a warrior until it’s time to do warrior stuff”

Next we learned Principles of Personal Security from John Lovell, founder of Warrior Poet Society and WOW what an incredible speaker with a wealth of knowledge!

He talked about gun safety and preparedness, and training HARD and SMART.

He talked about Mindset, Tactics, Fitness, Skills, Gear and stressed the importance and great reminder that REAL LOVE PROTECTS… A soldier fights not because he hates what’s in front of him, but because he loves what’s behind him.

*Be sure to check out and KNOW the Universal Firearm Safety Rules

***ALWAYS ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOUR GUT***

Next we heard about the Six Levels of Defense for Home & Property from Preston Hocker, also known as “The Pastor of Disaster” - ha!

*Install an alarm system

*Utilize strategically placed lighting

*Secure windows and doors

*Invest in a safe

*Cyber Security - monitor your network activity, be careful what you click, change your router’s password

A few more critical safety tips, facts, and reminders…

*Nothing that is connected to the internet is UN-hackable

*Just having an alarm system sign in your yard (not even having the actual alarm system installed) can decrease the chance of home invasion by 400%

*When you do install an alarm system, they suggest putting a different sign in your front yard so you don’t give away your alarm system info (and the potential for them to hack your system) to any potential intruder

*You have to constantly make your home a harder target

*Remember, it’s all about buying time…you need layers of protection to give you time to react and ACT

I*f you have an I-ring or camera alarm system, be sure to check notifications for any movement before you get home

*It’s all about having an early warning system

This just skims the surface of what we learned today. We are meeting some of the most amazing and inspiring people who are DOING the DO. We can’t wait for all that’s coming tomorrow…Quite the lineup, including Dr McCullough, Dr Kory, Dr Benton and more!

Thank y’all for your support and for being THINKERS! Let’s all commit to DOING something, no matter how small, to BE part of the change.

Have a great night!

Love,
