Most of us spend more of our waking hours either working at, or commuting to and from our jobs. Therefore, if we’re going to better align our lives with the permaculture ethics, it’s important that we focus on our livelihood. In this episode, I share my own process for moving from a life as an “industrialized man” in the employ of others toward my goal of being a “permaculture man” with greater independence and control over my own life. I initially wanted to title this one “Finding a Permaculture Livelihood” but decided that the term “finding” was too passive — and replaced it with “making”.

Just finished listening to podcast #2. It was fantastic! I especially like the concept of developing multiple income streams as a way to grow our resilience, and just your overall outlook on money as simply being a tool to better achieve our permaculture vision. Definitely some things i’ve had on my mind and it just added to the fire. So thank you and I wish you all the best
Hi Dave,
After I posted the first few podcasts I wasn’t really happy with the outcome (I do them in my car while commuting) and didn’t think that anyone would listen. I’m beyond happy that not only did someone listen, but that you found value in what I put out there. Your response has motivated me to resume putting audio content out there. Thanks!
