Summary
In this episode of the podcast, I sit down with my good friend and fellow rancher and rancher, John Rocha, to talk about what it means to be a rancher in the rural communities, the importance of having a rural mindset, and why rural people are more likely to resist globalism than urban people.

is it your impression that people feel um people in smaller communities do you feel like sometimes
00:00:07.160
like the world just kind of happens to you you know they feel like they're they're sort of
00:00:11.520
blown about as the as the globalists do or do they do people feel empowered in any sort of way
00:00:16.660
to affect some either some resistance or some influence on on these things i'm going to say
00:00:22.380
i'm going to sit on the fence it's both one thing i know about my mindset is being a rancher
00:00:28.500
your whole mindset is to plant your seeds and then you wait for it to rain and there's nothing you can
00:00:36.860
do to change the weather no carbon tax is going to make it rain in so many rural people the the the
00:00:44.140
mindset the way we've been raised the way we've lived for our entire lives is you do the work and
00:00:49.800
you wait yeah very much that stoic mindset about like control the things within your control
00:00:58.500
you can't put that emotion into it because that's not something you can you can change so
00:01:03.500
if the movement is a little bit stoic at times like if there's a balance between
00:01:10.340
outlining where things are failing or what's wrong with the system having that hope but also having that
00:01:18.740
clear head and that calm grounded uh sense of stoicism i feel like that might help as well
00:01:26.740
the one thing that's coming to my mind here is the change has to start right here in our hearts
00:01:33.200
and it sounds kind of hokey but no matter what happens in the future if you become a better man
00:01:40.080
or woman through this fight for independence you've won and if there's a million people who become
00:01:48.360
better people because of this fight for independence we will win that bigger battle
00:01:53.300
but if we focus on the externals if we focus on the big picture instead of doing what's necessary
00:01:59.300
for us to improve our lives right here in our homes and in our local communities
00:02:06.800
and we don't know how this story is going to end that's the most exciting part about this
00:02:13.020
we are in about chapter three in the story of alberta
00:02:17.120
and it's the action of myself and you two and two million of my closest friends
00:02:22.520
they're going to finish writing this chapter so we can go on to a new one
00:02:26.620
right the future has not been written and i find that very exciting
