The Ridiculously Human Podcast

None of us were put on this planet to be a watered down version of ourselves. In a world where it can seem that people are anti-human and wanting to become cyborg transhumans, this podcast is here to let you know that it’s perfectly ok to be a cool, fun-loving, caring and kind HUMAN! My desire, through the art of storytelling and story listening, is to share a captivating narrative that traverses everything it means to be human. Not just any human…Ridiculously Human!

    Jusper Machogu, Rural Farmer and Fossil Fuels for Africa Advocate

    To find the truth, you pretty much always need to go to source. That’s why my conversation with Jusper Machogu is so important. It dispels a narrative we are spoon-fed on a daily basis around living sustainably. The information around climate alarmism is mostly generated by academics sitting in their ivory towers with no real life experience. They have definitely not walked a day in the shoes of a guy like Jusper and people in his community. The worries that you and I experience, are first world problems.  Our sense of reality is so far removed from how the majority of people barely get by to ‘survive’ An eye-opening conversation with my Kenyan brother! Discussion Topics: What you will discover from listening to this Podcast: Corruption in Africa Taking running water for granted How most Africans earn a living Lack of water in Kenya How one borehole saved a whole community Unworthy climate academics Is climate change a scam? Why Fossils Fuels are essential  Is Colonialism thriving in Africa? The current awakening renaissance Bitcoin circular communities Bitcoin helping farmers and beehives BTC as a means of exchange I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

    Nicki Truesdell, Homeschooling Expert and Author

    The tenacity and strength it takes to go against the grain in society, should be revered! Nicki Truesdell, was definitely meant to be on this earth. Although, her life may have never commenced based on a decision her 14 year old mother decided not to take… Some people are victims, and others are go-getters.

The world should be thankful for people like Nicki’s parents, and Nicki too. They’ve dealt with the ridicule, the shame, challenged the authorities, and paved the way for future generations to have an alternative learning environment.

    Anne-Marie Smuts, South African Singer SongWriter

    One of the greatest gifts a human has, is the ability to create music. Just being able to sing a cappella, or pick up a guitar and strum some tunes, is a talent gifted to so few. Anne-Marie Smuts, always had a burning desire to make music, share her vibes with the world and play to large crowds. However, life had other ideas and that little fire burning in her tummy had to wait many years to finally get ignited! I’m always so impressed by the resilience of people, especially children. Anne-Marie, had a seriously tough childhood which started when her Dad had a serious car accident. From there, their lifestyle began to degrade. Fortunately, the South African spirit in her, means that she is a fighter! These days, her music career is ready to take off, and her beautiful voice is a gift to uplift us and encourage the weary. Like two buddies having a conversation. This was special!

    Jordan Urbs, Videographer, Father and Sat Stacker

    For a long time, my thoughts have been that the best education is provided through travelling. It opens you up to the reality of the world, and to the truth, because you see and experience things with your own eyes. You are exposed to the melting pot of world cultures and traditions. Jordan Urbs, is a well-seasoned traveller. After a brief stint working a 9-5, he decided to rather be broke, than sell his time! So he spent 12 years travelling the world making videos with people. He dove head-first into life without a care for the consequences. However, that all changed once he realised he was not living up to his self-worth and making excuses for his potential. He’s now experiencing the beginning of a new era of life in El Salvador, with his wife and two kids. A totally different man….wise, with purpose and drive. He is also going to show and teach us how to do the same for ourselves too! Top bloke. Deep Pod conversation! Discussion Topics: What you will discover from listening to this Podcast: Why live in El Salvador? Living off grid in Hawaii Having faith and hope in life Studying -> French style Travelling the world couch surfing Hitchhiking across Europe Finding self-love Overcoming victim mindset Integrating Ayahuasca experiences into daily life Travelling as a couple Reconnecting with past Ancestors Knowing your worth I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
