I’ve polled over 3,000 of my followers at this point, asking:

“You’ve found your health & freedom people online, but are you struggling to find health & freedom community in person?”

94% of respondents voted “Yes.”

Clearly this is a massive problem.

Social media and digital platforms have allowed holistic health & freedom minded men and women to learn about all of the problems with government, food systems, modern medicine, and more,

and it’s allowed us to learn information that leads to a more true, healthy, and free life, if embodied and applied.

It’s also helped us to connect with people from all over the world.

But there’s a huge piece missing…

One of the biggest predictors for health and longevity is the quality of our relationships.

For so many of us, when we look to our immediate surroundings, we’re desperately struggling to form deep, quality relationships because we’re struggling to find others in our area who just “get it.”

So what do we do? We turn back to our devices and social media platforms for a sense of validation and a semblance of community. Or, for some, we spend all of our time going to every health & freedom event possible, just to get a taste of what it’s like to be around others who get it.

Both avenues are mostly unsustainable, and oftentimes they don’t lead to lasting, local, day-to-day relationships.

So we’ve developed a solution for that problem.

TheWayFwrd.com is an unincorporated, private based membership organization that allows you to easily connect with other like-minded men and women—as well as farms, schools, practitioners, and more—locally, no matter where you are across the world.

Our platform includes an easy-to-use map that allows you to type in your zip/postal code and easily locate health & freedom oriented people, farms, practitioners, alternative schools, and more in your local area.

We have members across the world doing regular meetups, finding aligned businesses, finding new jobs, and even some finding romantic partners.

We wholeheartedly believe the next step to expand the health & freedom movement across the world is via connecting locally, in person, with others who get it. And our platform is designed to help with that.

Join us tonight at 7pm ET for the premiere of episode 255: How You Can Become Self Sufficient Without Owning Land with Curtis Stone

Can you live a sovereign lifestyle while making six figures on a small piece of land? That’s exactly what Curtis Stone has done.

Curtis is the author of The Urban Farmer and founder of Freedom Farmers. He lives off-grid in southern British Columbia with his two kids, and has spent almost two decades teaching people to grow food, find land, and build self-sufficient lives.

Most homesteading content skips the ugly part, Curtis doesn't. He talks about collapsing from exhaustion, failures that outnumbered wins ten to one, and realizing paralysis by analysis is the biggest thing standing between people and food.

He shares why he thinks Phoenix is one of the worst places to be if the shit hits the fan, and his eleven scales of permanence for evaluating land.

My guest in this episode is known online as The Archivist, an independent researcher who spends his time reading newspapers from the 1700s through the early 1900s and archiving what the accepted history books left out.

If the history you were handed has started to feel thin, this one gives you something real to explore.
