Thriving The Future Podcast

What are you doing to increase your self reliance and self sufficiency?

Jack Spirko's definitions:

• Self Sufficiency – The percentage of your needs met by your own systems
• Self Reliance – The duration in time you can live well without systems of support (or to live well with YOUR systems of support)
