The Fat Fueled Family Podcast

A former English teacher, Suzanne was born in St. Louis, MO, and graduated from Boston University in 1990. After ten years on the East Coast, where after college she made the unfortunate decision to marry the wrong man and subsequently learned what not to do in love, Suzanne returned to the Midwest, where she now lives with her husband of 22 years. They are almost empty nesters. As an author and speaker, she has been fighting back against America's gender war for years and has made it her mission to help others do the same so they can keep their marriages and relationships strong. Suzanne is the author of five books and a columnist at the Washington Examiner. She's also a contributor at The Federalist and a former contributor at Fox News. Her 2012 article, “The War on Men,” remains one of Fox News’ most read op-eds in history. Her work has appeared in publications such as Time, USA Today, Parents and the New York Post and has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, The Atlantic, Forbes, The Huffington Post and London’s Daily Mail.

“The percentage of students who were homeschooled doubled from 1999 to 2012, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. That increase leveled off in 2016, when about 1.7 million students were estimated to be homeschooled.”

I cannot even begin to imagine how big of an increase in homeschoolers we are going to see this month, but I’m sure it will be massive, and I’m sure there will be a lot of pushback from the supporters of the public school system monopoly. For example, in May, Harvard Magazine published an article titled ‘The Risks of Homeschooling’. It was a pathetic attempt and they even misspelled arithmetic in the graphic. Some may think, “well maybe they were making fun of how dumb homeschooled children are”, but they actually corrected it later, so...anyway.

This has been a hot topic in the last few months and we have gotten countless questions on it for a while now. Right now, there is a lot of discussion over children and schools, and how they plan to open back up again. Frankly, a lot of people are terrified about the potential consequences of changing how children do school. We are on uncharted territory and this is a huge experiment, and while we have heard all about the masks, social distancing, and for lack of a better word bubble wrapping of our children to reduce the risk of contracting a virus with a 0.2% mortality rate (and it approaches zero with children), I haven’t seen much talk on what the implications of implementing this on developing brains.

How will their social development be affected when they can’t receive non-verbal cues from their classmates or their teachers because everyone is masked up? There is a LOT to unpack there, and I personally won’t touch it because to us, it’s irrelevant. We mourn with all of the parents who simply cannot make homeschooling work, but we will stick to our wheelhouse, and that is helping those who do want to start homeschooling. We have done several episodes on our podcast and others on our philosophy, the history of schooling, and other important education information, so we encourage you to scroll through our podcast feed and check those out. But today we will focus on the practical stuff. We asked you for questions and boy did you all deliver.

Our guest this week is Jeff Smith from Colorado Craft Beef. The land where their ranch is located was originally homesteaded in 1917 by his wife Kara’s great, great grandfather during the Enlarged Homestead Act of 1909. This is a family business at its core, and they’re committed to building relationships with their suppliers and customers alike. Their beef is raised in the sand hills of northeastern Colorado in an environment five generations rich in respect and passion for the land and animals they care for. Their mission is to not only provide consumers with a high-quality beef product, but to also engage with those who are unfamiliar with the importance of knowing their roles within the industry—and in agriculture as a whole. Today we will get into the business side of beef producers—sales, logistics, processing, competitors, labeling, and even the issue of feeding the world. We hope to all learn more about this process so that we can have a greater appreciation of all that goes into the process of raising and harvesting the meat that we eat. With all that said, welcome to the show, Jeff Smith!

This week’s guest is from the far off mythical isle of Ohio, but he escaped and lived in the state of Confusion California for most of his life. He played a lot of high contact sports, like football, rugby, and he’s done a bit of traveling in his life, and accidentally lived in the Philippines for a couple of years. He really likes lumpia, which makes him a much bigger man than I. He’s also literally a much bigger man than I.

He’s had many jobs, mainly working in non-profits, but also worked as a bouncer, personal security, scientific diver, surf instructor, and even did a stint as a pro-wrestler, but that ended after getting hit by a car. Most recently he worked as a truck driver rolling through the country with his twenty-pound attack Gerbil JoJo (technically a dog) and a cat he found in the bumper of the truck, who was named Bumper.

During his time in the Philippines and while working in the US at group homes and Domestic violence/Sexual assault shelters, he ended up working with many children and adults who were survivors of human trafficking. In the Philippines, he got hooked up with and began working with a group of ex-pat US Vietnam veterans who worked with local police to shut down child brothels. This wasn’t a Non-Profit Org, just a group of vets who saw a horrible problem and took action. Here in the US, many of the residents of the group homes and Domestic Violence shelters were survivors of sexual abuse and trafficking. He also became a liaison to his local police and sheriff departments coaching the cops on how to interact with the populations he worked with, and he was also an advocate for sexual assault survivors, accompanying survivors through the process of evidence collection and police interviewing.
