Takota Coen Join farmer, educator, and author Takota Coen as he explores how you can design and develop land anywhere in the world to provide for your food, water, shelter, energy, and other needs. Takota is the co-owner of Coen Farm, a 250 acre award winning permaculture farm, in Alberta Canada. Find out more at buildingyourhomestead.com b35e5530-a60d-4cae-89c8-cefa8b34a8cc Hi Folks, I’m Takota Coen, thank you for checking out the Building Your Homestead Podcast where I talk with expert guests about agriculture, health, economics, technology, philosophy, and other topics that I believe will help to peacefully exit the increasing tyranny of our world and start building a parallel system, one homestead at a time.

I started this podcast because I believe that the best way to fight the nefarious agents destroying our world is not with pandemonium, petitions, or pouting, but by ending our dependency on their systems that seek to keep us sick, broke and enslaved. 


Whether you are still planning your exit strategy from the city, or you already have an established property, I hope these conversations will inspire you and give you the tools to live a life of freedom and abundance in partnership with nature.

Takota discusses how being a producer (rather than just a consumer) is the key to all of us building a future free from tyranny. Some universal permaculture concepts are discussed like invasive species, complementary crops, and soil building. Also includes a detailed discussion of money, crypto, and Bitcoin, and what a fair money of the future might look like.

What about the immediate threat of Bill C-293 and other governmental threats? Takota is a fan of "tactical empathy" as outlined by Chris Voss in his book "Never Split the Difference". Maybe that's enough....

Business Bitcoinization

The Business Bitcoinization Show will introduce you to executives and entrepreneurs who are using Bitcoin - the hardest money on planet earth - to improve their lives and their businesses.

What's with the name? It's a play on the term, "Hyperbitcoinization," which is a word used to describe the eventual, rapid adoption of Bitcoin as other currencies continue to weaken in relation to it.

Hear how other business owners are using Bitcoin and begin using it yourself so that, when we get to the other side of hyperbitcoinization, you and your business will be prepared to take advantage of the massive productivity and wealth that will follow.

Sobkowiak originally bought the farm as a conventional 12 acre 4,000 tree monoculture apple orchard and immediately transitioned it to organic, but he quickly realized that an organic monoculture merely substitutes inputs from the conventional model. The alternative he created is a diverse polyculture that produces a wide variety of different fruits, berries and perennial herbs for u-pick membership customers. Sobkowiak is also an avid teacher, having taught at the university level and now popularly, through his Permaculture Orchard video, his online virtual orchard tour and his online pruning course.

Rob and his wife Michelle are the founders of the globally-recognized and award-winning design, consulting, and education company, Verge Permaculture. For the past decade they have helped more than 1000 students and a growing number of clients to design and/or create integrated systems for shelter, energy, water, waste and food, all while supporting local economy and regenerating the land. I often refer to Rob as an Amateur Holistic Nutritionist, and if you watch the video you will see why!

In this podcast Rob shares his wisdom on:

  • His health transformation from a "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Diet"
  • How insulin was the original root cellar and why it makes you eat until you hate yourself
  • Bioregional Probiotics: The most important thing you can grow in your own back yard
  • Why peak oil, peak energy, peak phosphorus could equal peak food
  • Intermittent fasting
  • How a pig is a cross between a coconut tree and olive tree
  • The prime directive of permaculture
  •  Selfishness intelligence: how do we meet our needs while enhancing the biosphere.
  • How he ate his way into not wearing glasses anymore, and eliminating his hypoglycaemia
  • His 5 step process for experimenting with his personal optimal diet
  • And so much more!

But her new book takes it to a whole new level. Going back into diary accounts from the pre-industrial Europeans and the first explorers to have contact with traditional peoples in the Americas, Africa, and Australia she paints a compelling picture of their diet, impeccable health and how they managed their land holistically. Never before have I read such an inspiring account of what is possible when the health of land and the health of its people are viewed as one. 


Sally shares her wisdom on:

  • What the most universal human diseases is (I guarantee you have it)
  • The insidious origins of our iconic food pyramid
  • The importance of fat, salt, and carbs in our diet
  • Why our government and educational institutions are so antagonistic to traditional diets and optimal human health
  • The "natural selection of the wise"
  • How wilderness is a "dirty" word in traditional cultures
  • And so much more!​


Sally Fallon Morell is founding president of The Weston A. Price Foundation (westonaprice.org), a non-profit nutrition education foundation dedicated to returning nutrient-dense food to North American tables. She is also the founder of A Campaign for Real Milk (realmilk.com), which has as its goal universal access to clean raw milk from pasture-fed animals.  She is the author of the best-selling cookbook Nourishing Traditions (with Mary G. Enig, PhD); The Nourishing Traditions Book of Baby & Child Care (with Thomas S. Cowan, MD); Nourishing Broth (with Kaayla T. Daniel, PhD, CCN); and Nourishing Fats.

I started this podcast because I believe that the best way to fight the nefarious agents destroying our world is not with pandemonium, petitions, or pouting, but by ending our dependency on their systems that seek to keep us sick, broke, and enslaved. Whether you are still planning your exit strategy from the city, or you already have an established property, I hope these conversations will inspire you and give you the tools to live a life of freedom and abundance in partnership with nature.
