We’re bombarded by too much stress, not enough time for personal fulfillment, and failing to take care of our health. There has to be a better way, and your host Gary Collins believes he’s figured it out by asking one question, “how can I make my life simpler?” Twice a week Navy veteran, former federal agent, and entrepreneur Gary Collins brings you fantastic guests (such as Rep. Thomas Massie, economist/actor Ben Stein, Sirius XM DJ Kristine Stone) covering topics such as financial freedom, building healthy habits, and finding your life’s purpose. If you’re ready to stop being a spectator in your own life and instead make real moves, this is the show you’ve been looking for.

Ep 172: Gun Control - 18 and Life to Go
2022/06/22
Get 10% off and free shipping off your entire order at www.thesimplelifenow.com with coupon code: podcast10 In the words of that great hairband, Whitesnake, "Here we go again." When it comes to The 2nd Amendment and gun control, well, it is a bit polarizing to say the least. Most, may not know this, but I have been around firearms since age 7 to include 20 years in the military and law enforcement. Before some of you call me a racist and gun-toting redneck, hold on a second, you may be a little surprised by my position on the subject. I firmly believe, we need to have a rational conversation on the subject that makes sense to most. You can never satisfy everyone, so "most" is the closest you are going to get on any subject, let alone gun control. Today, I give you my common-sense solution to the problem that I think most could understand and get behind. I'm tired of insider trading politicians and purple-haired nut jobs telling the rest of us how it should be. Interestingly, the people who have the least experience on the subject seem to scream the loudest. So let's cut the noise and get down to the facts that make sense to the people who actually live in reality. I know a crazy idea these days, but I think it is important, as we will never solve the problem by two sides pushing extreme views on the subject. Topics Discussed: * A little perspective from me having over 4 decades of experience with firearms. * What is the gun debate really about? * Will banning guns lower violence rates? * Why we have a mental illness and family breakdown problem in this country. * Just because you are 18 and the military doesn’t mean you have 24 hour access to weapons. * Why those the most responsible for your freedom and safety have by far the most training with firearms. * Would the world end if an 18 year old had to wait a couple years to purchase a few select firearms. * Why 9mm round doesn’t blow your lungs out - stupid people say stupid things. * Whether you like it or not the 2nd Amendment protects you against a tyrannical government, just read some history. * Why I believe firearms training for everyone is important.

Ep 171: Free College for Everyone
2022/06/15
There is no free lunch in this world, especially when it involves the government. Today, we have yet another financial crisis looming: outstanding college loan debt, which is estimated to be in the range of 1.8 trillion. I have a little experience in this area as I have three degrees, which I paid for the most part on my own, and I had this crazy thing called a job while enrolled in classes for all three. In addition, I was a college professor for a while at a private institution. So I have seen and been involved in this debacle from both sides of the fence. You may ask yourself, what does this have to do with you? Well, at this moment we are experiencing record-high inflation and government debt, which I will tell you is not a good combination. By bailing out people, who lack the ability to think and plan properly, then rack up endless student loan debt is not going to help. Matter of fact, that will pump more funny money into the economy, thus causing more inflation. And you should also ask, why should you be responsible for someone's college loan debt? That is a very important question to ask, I believe. Today, Rob Kendall and I (who also paid his own way through college) discuss what this is all about. Not only that, we give solutions, especially for those who want to go to college, but do it responsibly without racking up life burdening debt. The key is to make the right financial moves, and ignore most of the advice the financial institutions and federal government are telling us, as they do not have your best interests at heart. Rob Kendall is the co-host of the Kendall and Casey Show heard 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM EST on 93.1 WIBC Radio, Indianapolis. Prior to joining WIBC, Rob served as an elected official for the Town of Brownsburg, where he proudly claims massive tax cuts and government reform as his greatest accomplishments. Topics Discussed: * How bad really is the student loan crisis. * How will a bailout of student loans affect you. * Is this just a way to buy votes instead of taking care of the problem? * Why you are the one responsible for your debts not the taxpayer and definitely not the government. * How did the federal government cause college education tuition to skyrocket. * Why everyone does not need to go to college. * Why college should never be free. * How to go to college responsibility and without racking up student loan debt.

Ep 170: Beautiful Truck No Gas
2022/06/09
Today, I bring back to the show oil expert Bill Herrick to bring us up to date on why gas prices are so damn high, and going higher! Bill will also tell us where gas prices are expected to go in the near and not so near future. Is there hope for $2.50 a gallon gas again? What can we do about these high prices, and should you start looking for a really cool ten-speed bike to get your ass to work! We are hearing a lot about what is causing sky-high oil and gas prices; Putin, Covid, your cat... but what is really the truth? Politicians and media pundits have gone from Covid experts to oil experts. Hey, just go out and buy a $60,000 (that is a cheap one) electric car, they say. They are full of a lot of things, but mainly bullsh*t! Today, I do this crazy thing and bring on an actual expert in the oil and gas industry, as in he actually works in it. I know a foreign concept these days. We get to the bottom of the high price of oil and gas today, exploration, production, and dispel all the false information being floated around by people who don't know their head from you know what. Topics Discussed: * Why does gas cost so damn much! * Who is to blame for high gas prices? * Why this administration is making the problem worse instead of better. * Why the midterms elections will not fix this problem. * Where are gas prices going in the near future? * How you should be preparing for increased inflation? * Why inflation numbers are much higher than you think. * Why some parts of country are going to experience brown and black outs this summer. * Why the cost of energy controls many things you do in life. * Why does diesel cost so much more than regular gas today.

Ep 169: How To Gather Intel for Important Life Decisions
2022/06/07
Today, I will share with you the methods to make better and more informed decisions in life. I guarantee the simplicity in the process will amaze you. I often get asked how in the world I'm able to make difficult decisions to guide my life in the right direction. Trust me, I'm no genius or have super Simple Life powers to help me accomplish this. The most critical element in order to help guide me in my life is gathering and processing information. Most importantly, by not doing it with Google searches or the internet, but with real-life experiences on a daily basis. I was recently having a conversation with a friend of mine, and told him how I had gathered a bunch of life intelligence during my day before we met for lunch. A funny look came over his face, and he said you need to share that. He said, “most people just don't think that way”. I had no idea it was a unique way to gather information, so yes, I realized I needed to do an episode on it. I sometimes forget being a former criminal investigator, I look at and gather information differently than most people, well, because it was my job, and I did it for a long time. The best way to put it, is these traits are ingrained in me, and most of the time, I don't even know I'm doing it. Topics Discussed: * Why all the information you need to make better life decisions is right in front of you. * How to get information from people without them even knowing what you are doing. * How everyday life is loaded with information to make your life better, you just need to know where to look. * How to ask the right questions to get the answers you are looking for. * Why you should always have situational awareness. * Where you should not be getting your information from. * How to take this information and apply it to your life. * Why interactions with real people is key.

Ep 168: Ask Gary Anything (Round 18)
2022/06/02
Welcome to another episode of "Ask Gary Anything." This is where you, the audience, get to send in your questions about anything, and I will answer them. That is right, you heard it... anything, because that is how I roll! On a fairly regular basis I pick questions sent to me from my ever growing list, and answer them on this podcast. If you want to have your question(s) considered, simply fill out the contact form on my website www.thesimplelifenow.com, or better yet become a member of "The Simple Life Insider's Circle" link is at the bottom of the show notes. Today, we have some great questions: 1. (Geoff S) Do you have a bug out plan, and if so what do you think are the essential considerations /components? If not, why not? 2. (Kristy P) Do you or any of your friends suffer from tinnitus? If so, how do you cope? (I know this is a common ailment for veterans. Other than white noise, which isn’t always feasible, none of the DIY solutions seem to work. I have tried limiting salt/caffeine, supplements, acupuncture, and a hearing aid (for a trial period of 3 months). Therapy is expensive and not covered by insurance.) 3. (Ben L) What are your thoughts on liability waivers for events on private property? Details: Often in the permaculture movement, land owners host workshops that invite people they don't personally know and require visitors to sign waivers. Do you recommend any templates or key points to include in drafting such a document, assuming you'd want a final review/edit by a legal professional?

Ep 167: How to Build Muscle While on The Paleo Diet
2022/05/31
Over the years working with clients and athletes one on one, I have dealt with the question "how do I add muscle while on the Paleo Diet" numerous times. A listener of the show recently sent me this exact same question for the Ask Gary Anything segments, and I realized I hadn't addressed this ever in The Simple Life with Gary Collins Podcast. So I decided to dedicate an entire episode to this question, as it is a common one when people dig into the Paleo diet and dial in their eating habits and the Paleo lifestyle. To my women listeners, don't think this doesn't apply to you, as it does, but you will have to listen to the episode to understand why. I know for most, this seems like a strange question: Why would it be so hard to add muscle mass while eating Paleo? Once I explain the reason(s), I guarantee there will be a "lightbulb" moment for most. Topics Discussed: * A quick recap - what is the Paleo Diet? * Why it is so dang hard gaining weight on the Paleo Diet. * Why our bodies are much wiser than we think they are. * Why building muscle is important for women just not men. * Why sometimes you have to trick your body to get it to do what you want. * A brief discussion on the 1st leg of the Three-Legged Stool of The Simple Life. * Why resistance training is so important. * Why lifting weights is for men and women. * Why building muscle when you are a women doesn’t mean turning into the Hulk.

Ep 165: Housing Collapse or Massive Implosion?
2022/05/24
I have said on many occasions that no matter what the real estate and financial talking heads are saying, there is a housing market bubble, and it will be the worst we have ever seen. Another transfer of wealth from hardworking Americans to the morally corrupt political and financial institutions is imminent. So what can we do about it? I have lived through three boom/bust housing markets, and the best way to avoid getting caught in the crash is to recognize the signs. Blindly following what the real estate and financial institutions are telling is a sure way to lose a lot of money in a hot market. I have learned never to chase a hot market, and sell when it is hot, not when it is not. I have heard the same thing in all three hot markets I have lived through... "this one is different." No, they are not, now, some of the circumstances causing the hot market and subsequent bust may be different, but the cycle is always the same... there are a whole bunch of losers and a very small amount of winners. So how do you avoid this housing bubble trap? Well, Rob Kendall and I dig into the facts and let you know what your moves should be, and what to expect in the near future. For those who don't know, I have been in real estate for 25 years, so I just don't spout about this as some controversial subject. I have been there; I have lost some, but won much more than the average Joe. I hope this educates people so they can avoid being fleeced by the corrupt financial institutions and housing market in general. The second leg in The Three-Legged Stool of The Simple Life is Financial Freedom. The key to Financial Freedom is not following the herd to indentured servitude of lifelong debt. Today Rob Kendall and I discuss, the storm that is coming in the housing market and a future recession. We both firmly believe they are unavoidable, the debt is due and someone is going to have to pay for it! The key is to make the right financial moves, and ignore most of the advice the financial institutions and federal government are telling us, as they do not have your best interests at heart. Rob Kendall is the co-host of the Kendall and Casey Show heard 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM EST on 93.1 WIBC Radio, Indianapolis. Prior to joining WIBC, Rob served as an elected official for the Town of Brownsburg, where he proudly claims massive tax cuts and government reform as his greatest accomplishments. Topics Discussed: * Why, when the financial and real estate institutions tell you “this one is different” get ready to hold on to your wallet! * How this “housing bubble” has been forming even prior to Covid. * Why we are in a bubble that has far worse factors involved than the housing bubble of 2008/2009. * Why you should never buy anything on credit based upon the monthly payment. * Why the rental market is going to explode in the near future. * Why and how Rob bought a home now in an overly inflated housing market. * Why most Americans lose, and lose big in the housing market. * How this shortage of supply in the housing market was artificially created. * How property taxes really work, and trust me it is not in your favor. * Why you should not even be thinking about buying into this current housing market at this time. * How to buy a house right, and actually make money.

Ep 164: Ask Gary Anything (Round 16)
2022/05/19
Welcome to another episode of "Ask Gary Anything." This is where you, the audience, get to send in your questions about anything, and I will answer them. That is right, you heard it... anything, because that is how I roll! On a fairly regular basis I pick questions sent to me from my ever growing list, and answer them on this podcast. If you want to have your question(s) considered, simply fill out the contact form on my website www.thesimplelifenow.com, or better yet become a member of "The Simple Life Insider's Circle" link is at the bottom of the show notes. Today, we have some great questions: 1. (John S) Last year, my employer imposed the vax mandate for all employees unless either a medical or religious exemption were granted. This didn't sit well with me, and I refused not only the vax but also to submit to any exemption request. As the initial deadline (Dec 8th) approached, we were told that employees that refused the vax without an exemption would be considered "self-terminated". The deadline was then shifted to early 2021 as the mandate was challenged in the courts (not by me...just what you may have heard through news/media). Finally, in early 2021, my employer "suspended" the mandate for employees. I subsequently filed an ethics compliant ("anonymously") against the CEO of my company, although I don't expect anything to happen as a result. I've been working in my chosen career field for almost 35 years. When I was told that I would be "self-terminated", my wife and I began to consider "retirement" and proceeded to look for some acreage in another state where we would prefer to live. By the time the mandate was lifted, we were enjoying some weekend travel to see properties that caught our interest. So, our search for property continued even after the mandate was lifted, and we are now under contract to purchase a place we think we'd like to live in retirement. So, we're now planning to move to our soon-to-be new home. I think I'd like to continue to work from home, albeit in a different state, but on the other hand, I'm not happy about what happened with the vax mandate and threat of "self-termination". Like many folks, my work has been performed mostly remotely (at home) since early 2020, but my job assignment supports a certain facility/location, which does require occasional on-site presence. Needless to say, my motivation to work is significantly reduced, and I'm finding it difficult to stay productive and engaged on the job. I have not yet discussed this with my employer. My question for you is "Should I even have a discussion with my employer about working remotely from new home?"...or "Should I just leave and find something else to do with my life?" I could go either way, but my wife would prefer it if I could somehow keep my job for the near term. 2. (Greg M) What is your recommendation to give water more taste? Im trying to get away from chemical mixes like crystal light and diet soda. What do you suggest? 3. (William) How do I get my wife to go to paleo diet? She’s Allergic to everything.

Ep 163: The Coming Housing Bubble and Recession - A State of The Economy Update 
2022/05/17
So what does the economy look like in the near future for us working class citizens who have to actually work and pay for things with our hard earned money? Have you ever heard the economy works in cycles? Well, it is true, there are good times and bad times; well, it is part of the economic cycle. If you pay attention and are prepared, in most cases you can weather a downturn, even a nasty one, in the economy. In some cases, you can even grow your wealth. The problem is most Americans do not pay attention, we definitely know our politicians don't and spend our tax dollars like drunken sailors. Does that mean we should all do the same? The second leg in The Three-Legged Stool of The Simple Life is Financial Freedom. The key to Financial Freedom is not following the herd to indentured servitude of lifelong debt. Today Rob Kendall and I discuss, the storm that is coming in the housing market and a future recession. We both firmly believe they are unavoidable, the debt is due and someone is going to have to pay for it! The key is to make the right financial moves, and ignore most of the advice the financial institutions and federal government are telling us, as they do not have your best interests at heart. Rob Kendall is the co-host of the Kendall and Casey Show heard 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM EST on 93.1 WIBC Radio, Indianapolis. Prior to joining WIBC, Rob served as an elected official for the Town of Brownsburg, where he proudly claims massive tax cuts and government reform as his greatest accomplishments. Topics Discussed: * Why Rob decided to buy a home now in an overly inflated housing market * Why there are always deals to be had in real estate, even in a hot market * How Americans get duped into overpaying for a home * How and why most American lose big in their houses * What is the key to properly financing a home * Why the housing market is primed to burst, even though the financial and real estate industry is telling you different * Why a world of economic hurt for Americans is unavoidable * How to survive and thrive in a terrible economy * Why the sugar rush of fiscal stimulus has to come to an end * Our predictions on how high interest rates will have to go * Why the midterms are not the answer to our financial woes * Why the American Dream is a steaming piece of you know what * How to thrive and live the life you want, once you know how the game is played Episode Resources: The Kendall and Casey Show: https://www.wibc.com/show/kendall-and-casey/ * Support The Simple Life Podcast and enjoy it ad free by being a member and subscriber at: https://thesimplelifenow.com/register/the-simple-life-membership/ Show Sponsors which helps keep this show free! *Use special promo code WATPVT15 with the link below for We The People Holsters and get 15% off your order! * Use special promo code AFFILTRX15 with the link below for TRX Training Systems and get 15% off your order! https://thesimplelifenow.com/wethepeople/ https://thesimplelifenow.com/mitoredlight/ https://thesimplelifenow.com/relaxsaunas/ https://thesimplelifenow.com/mypatriotsupply/ https://thesimplelifenow.com/trx-training/ https://thesimplelifenow.com/acre-gold/ https://thesimplelifenow.com/berkeyfilters/ https://thesimplelifenow.com/wholelattelove/ https://thesimplelifenow.com/kuiu/ * Or you can see all the show sponsors in one convenient place here: https://thesimplelifenow.com/sponsors * See what Gary is reading and his recommended reading list here: https://thesimplelifenow.com/reading/ * Donate to The Simple Life cause: https://thesimplelifenow.

2022/05/12
Welcome to another episode of "Ask Gary Anything." This is where you, the audience, get to send in your questions about anything, and I will answer them. That is right, you heard it... anything, because that is how I roll! On a fairly regular basis I pick questions sent to me from my ever growing list, and answer them on this podcast. If you want to have your question (s) considered, simply fill out the contact form on my website www.thesimplelifenow.com, or better yet become a member of "The Simple Life Insider's Circle" link is at the bottom of the show notes. Today, we have some great questions: 1. (Ben) How does "wild fermentation" (kraut, pickling, kimchi, etc) fit into a paleo/primal lifestyle? Do you have any endorsement or critique of the nutritional claims of the typical fermentation enthusiast? 2. (Kristy P) What is one band you wish you could have seen in concert? (any reason…you were too young/weren’t born, the band is broken up, they are still around but past their prime…) 3. (Tom G) What are some of your favorite exercises you do to stay in shape?

Ep 161: RV Living on The Road to Freedom
2022/05/10
Today, I'm joined by the one and only Rock Breath, who, with his wife, is currently traveling the country with their four dogs in an RV. So how did this adventure start? We get into that, I promise. As some of you know, I spent almost a decade living in an RV part-time and full-time. So this is a subject close to my heart, and I hope to motivate some of you thinking about such an adventure, to possibly getting started. I will tell you from first-hand knowledge it was a freeing experience, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. Living in an RV taught me many life lessons and we dig into what Rock Breath has learned so far. Rock Breath is also our roving correspondent for my new podcast I'm involved in; The Right Dudes. Rock Breath is the Writer, Editor, and Creator of TheOnlyRockBreath®.  Rock is considered to be an Explorer, Nomad, Follower of No One, Freedom Lover, and a “Right Dude.” Rock is Pro 2nd Amendment, Pro Freedom of Speech, and Pro Trump. He’s a former Head of IT, NEC Computer System Division and Packard Bell/NEC, the Creator and Editor of The Call Center Daily News, NEC Computer Systems; Customer/Sales Engineering Liaison, Hewlett-Packard. Rock strives to learn and share knowledge by offering conservative and nonpartisan views on a variety of topics including current affairs, politics, technology and more by way of facts and the truth. Topics Covered: * Where did the idea come from for Rock and his wife to start living in an RV * What is their current setup * Recommendations for those looking to, or just getting started * Some of my stories during my decade of RV living * What was the biggest sacrifice they had to make so far * Where are their favorite places to travel * How much cheaper it is to live this lifestyle Episode Resources: * Support The Simple Life Podcast and enjoy it ad free by being a member and subscriber at: https://thesimplelifenow.com/register/the-simple-life-membership/ Show Sponsors which helps keep this show free! *Use special promo code WATPVT15 with the link below for We The People Holsters and get 15% off your order! * Use special promo code AFFILTRX15 with the link below for TRX Training Systems and get 15% off your order! https://thesimplelifenow.com/wethepeople/ https://thesimplelifenow.com/mitoredlight/ https://thesimplelifenow.com/relaxsaunas/ https://thesimplelifenow.com/mypatriotsupply/ https://thesimplelifenow.com/trx-training/ https://thesimplelifenow.com/acre-gold/ https://thesimplelifenow.com/berkeyfilters/ https://thesimplelifenow.com/kuiu/ * Or you can see all the show sponsors in one convenient place here: https://thesimplelifenow.com/sponsors * See what Gary is reading and his recommended reading list here: https://thesimplelifenow.com/reading/ * The Right Dudes Podcast Website: www.therightdudes.com * Donate to The Simple Life cause: https://thesimplelifenow.com/product-category/consulting/#donate * Where to send your questions: [email protected] * The Simple Life Rumble page: https://rumble.com/user/TheSimpleLife * The Simple Life Website: https://www.thesimplelifenow.com * Make sure to signup and be a member of The Simple Life Insider's Circle at: https://www.thesimplelifenow.com/the-simple-life/
