Willie & Jase Did Homesteading Before It Was Cool & Good, Simple Living for Your Family

Jase and Al reminisce about their family’s brief history as teenage “runaways,” when no one bothered to send a search party—and how that hands-off parenting style turned out to be pretty effective. Guests Jeremy and Melissa Souza of Good Simple Living share how they built an off-grid homestead from scratch, raised their kids with purpose and grit, and found real community beyond the internet. The guys, Jeremy, and Melissa laugh about learning self-reliance the hard way, surviving on wit and curiosity long before homesteading was cool.

Check out Jeremy and Melissa’s new children’s book Made to Be Ludo as a way to support and give back to children battling cancer—100% of proceeds go to the Childhood Cancer Coalition, and Brave Books is matching donations. Learn more at https://gslbook.com!
