	Dr. Chris Martenson has a PhD from Duke University and an MBA from Cornell.  He left his former career as Vice President of SAIC to publish the Crash Course and start Peak Prosperity in an effort to educate people on the predicaments of an unsustainable system that relies on infinite economic growth on a finite planet.  In 2020, he initiated extensive coverage of COVID-19 and helped steer millions to better outcomes and understanding.  His ultimate goal is to help people build resilience to better face the big predicaments of our times.

	James Howard Kunstler is a writer, social critic, public speaker, and blogger known for his sharp critiques of suburban sprawl, urban planning flaws, and the societal impacts of energy depletion. Born in New York City, he rose to prominence with non-fiction books like The Geography of Nowhere (1993) and The Long Emergency (2005), warning of unsustainable growth and peak oil consequences. Through his Clusterfuck Nation blog, podcast, and articles in outlets like The New York Times and The Atlantic, he chronicles cultural and economic predicaments, advocating for New Urbanism, better infrastructure, and preparation for resource limits to foster societal resilience.
	Dr. Ken Berry, MD, is a board-certified family physician from rural Tennessee who has spent over 20 years helping patients reclaim their health through practical dietary changes.

With over 3 million subscribers on YouTube, he shares evidence-based, ancestral health insights to empower people worldwide. Dr. Berry lives on a farm in Tennessee with his wife, Neisha, and their two children, embodying the principles he teaches.
