This week, I had conversations with Dr. Ken Berry and Michael Farris (Coffee and a Mike). First, Ken and I discussed the surge in government preparedness warnings worldwide, the ongoing Persian Gulf disruptions hitting oil, sulfur, fertilizer, and diesel supplies, and practical ways to build real resilience through protein- and fat-rich food storage, soil and garden work, animals, water filters, metabolic health, and stronger ties with neighbors. Next, Mike and I discussed the coordinated pattern behind those warnings, the rising risks from AI-driven cyber threats and fragile systems, the continuation of energy-related conflicts and fiscal pressures, and why local communities and longer-term preparation will matter most as these issues compound. Both interviews are below!
