Summary
Nick has been attending the Homesteaders of America Conference for three years. It has been going on for eight years and is always very well attended by thousands of people from all over the country and even from other countries. Amy Fewell and her team do a great job. This year, Amy called Nick and told him that the insurance company had denied their policy and mentioned Nick by name as the reason. He told Amy that the event was too important and that, if needed, she should take him off the list of speakers. Amy flat-out refused.

| 0:00.0 | We have a very unique episode for you today because I got to attend the Homesteaders of America |
| 0:05.6 | conference. And I'm telling you, when people think about this conference, I think they almost |
| 0:09.6 | kind of have too narrow a view of what actually goes on there because it's pretty exciting. |
| 0:14.6 | And one of the best things about it is not just the information you would expect to get about |
| 0:18.7 | homesteading. It's about the people that you meet. |
| 0:21.5 | One of the things I love about Homesteaders of America is I feel like I have met my people whenever |
| 0:26.3 | I show up there. We had a great time. I got to give the kickoff speech for it. And here's what |
| 0:31.0 | you need to know about this kickoff speech. It almost didn't happen. Why? Because apparently |
| 0:35.6 | I'm a pretty dangerous guy. That's right. Amy Fuel |
| 0:38.9 | Head of Homesteaders of America called me up a couple weeks beforehand and told me that it looked |
| 0:43.2 | like the insurance company was going to deny the permit that they've had for this event for |
| 0:47.8 | eight years because I was coming as a speaker. And so I told Amy, look, I don't want you to |
| 0:54.1 | lose out on an event that |
| 0:55.4 | is very, very important to this organization, very, very important to all the people that buy |
| 1:00.0 | their tickets to go. This place is usually sold out seven months before it actually takes place. |
| 1:05.2 | I said, so take me out the speaking list. I'd love to still attend if that's okay, but take me off the speaking list. And Amy looked at me, and she said, yeah, we don't do that. We will find a way to make it work. I just thought it was |
| 1:16.2 | funny and wanted you to know. So I made sure when she did make it work, that I gave a speech that, |
| 1:22.4 | well, hopefully the audience was very engaged with. They appeared to be, and we got to take a really, really good Q&A period as well. |
| 1:31.3 | So that is what you're going to see today. |
| 1:33.3 | Hope you like it. |
| 1:34.3 | Here it is. |
| 1:35.3 | All right. |
