As most of you know, I don’t beat around the bush; I give it to you straight. With that being said, as with any changes you make in life, there is a downside. It isn’t all roses and butterflies living The Simple Life. Comparably to the day to day of “normal” American life, the downside isn’t all that bad. We simple lifers have had many discussions over the years about how things definitely change once you go down this road. Today I want to address some of the struggles and changes you will experience, as the more you know, the more you grow!

Topics Discussed:

* What living The Simple Life really means
* How as you dive deeper into The Simple Life you will experience profound changes
* Why change is good
* Why struggle and introspection builds character
* Why so few these days pursue a simpler life
* You are part of a small group of go getters so embrace it
* Why pushing The Simple Life on others isn’t such a good idea
* Getting used to being the real you

Today, I want to address a negative review and comment on iTunes. Usually, I don’t give these the time of day, but this one hit a nerve, because of the false information it contained. Instead of providing an honest review of what they didn’t like about the episode, this individual distorts the topics and what I talked about to fit their negative thinking. I will dissect this review to show why I believe people like this are destroying this country and have no place in The Simple Life community.

See Negative iTunes Review Below:

Fudo 77 “Episode 119 is a tire fire, and resembles an audio version of a FB rant filmed by a goateed guy in his car. It’s a great subject to cover
(smartphone addiction), but this guy serves from the price of his toilet to NBA/BLM to Hispanic people on smartphones to women in the gym. He so
wants to say women are worse, but can’t find the stats to.”

Topics Discussed:

* Why people (losers in life) feel the need to leave negative reviews
* I dissect what this individual is really in this review, and a lot about themselves
* Why I have an easy way to send emails to me to say what you really feel about me or what I do
* Why I will never shy away from the topics that need to be discussed
* Cowards leave personally attacking negative reviews don’t be one of them
* Why we have become a country of victims and if you don’t agree with them you are a racist, sexist, homophobe
* Why it is important for us “simple life” folk to start our own businesses and run for public office
