Nomadlife-Or-Corporatelife-False-Choice-Bob Davis Podcast 1087

Nomad Life Or Corporate Life False Choice

Firstly Nomadlife Or Corporatelife is a false choice. Period. Full stop. Details in Nomadlife-Or-Corporatelife-False-Choice-Bob Davis Podcast 1087.

Quit Your Job

Secondly certain people are saying people in the corporate world back home should quit their jobs and join the nomad ‘movement’.

Really?

Therefore suddenly being a nomad is now an ‘ism’ or a ‘movement’. Really?

Too Big For Your Britches

And some of us think certain prognosticators are getting too big for their britches.

Social Media

In addition social media ‘stars’ don’t speak for the whole.

Certainly that is the whole point of the nomad experience isn’t it?

Being A Nomad Is Not A Statement

Above all I don’t like the idea that being a nomad is some kind of anti capitalist statement.

Or any kind of statement at all.

Natural?

For example telling people the nomad experience is ‘noble’ or ‘ordained’ or ‘natural’ is inaccurate.

Even more maybe out and out wrong.

A Choice

Most importantly this nomad life is a choice.

And so is the corporate world.

You Do You

Further neither choice is right or wrong.

Thank You

Finally a big thank you to those back in the world for all you do.

Respecting Nature

Certainly your contribution makes it possible for us to enjoy and respect this wilderness.

Not Fair Or Factual

But saying the world back home is unnatural isn’t fair or factual.

Life Choices

To sum up we all make choices at different times in our lives for different reasons.

It’s A Lifestyle Not A Judgement

Moreover as a nomad I did not do this in judgement of people back home or their choices.

I’ll tell you more in Nomadlife-Or-Corporatelife-False-Choice-Bob Davis Podcast 1087.

False Intellectualism

In conclusion the assertion humans are pack animals and therefore nomads…

And because of this ‘reality’ you people back home should stop being ‘exploited’ and join us out here…

Is just plain nonsense.

Isn’t The Whole Point Freedom?

To sum up humans who are free can create many things.

Embrace Liberty

Maybe nomads who have appointed themselves chiefs of the tribe ought to embrace liberty and leave people back home alone.

Spring-Summer-Travel-Plans-Bob Davis Podcast 1086

Spring Summer Travel Plans 2023

Firstly it’s time to take a look at Spring and Summer Travel Plans. Time for a higher vibe in Spring-Summer-Travel-Plans-Bob Davis Podcast 1086.

Planning

Secondly I’ll talk a little about planning in particular in this podcast.

Southwestern Arizona

Certainly winter down in Southwestern Arizona isn’t like winter up north.

Wind and Chilly Nights

However the wind and chilly nights mean podcasting from the cozy confines of Mobile Podcast Command.

Pull Out The Maps

Above all it’s time to pull my dusty maps out.

Where and How

And to start thinking about the where and how for Spring and Summer Travel.

Playing It Safe

During these periods of high fuel prices many nomads have been playing it safe.

Hunkered Down

That is to say we’re hunkered down rather than barnstorming in order to save cash.

Hope

Meanwhile as fuel prices start to sink a little there’s hope for the future.

Ambitious Plans

In the same vein I have some pretty ambitious plans for this spring and summer’s travel.

Yes I Use Paper Maps

Most importantly I use paper maps.

Back Roads

Because I use back roads most of the time.

Save Money On Fuel

For example I’ve learned you can save money on fuel using back roads.

Plan and Navigate

But you have to know how to navigate and plan.

How To Start

As a result I usually start my planning by just looking at the maps and thinking about the best ways to go.

Greater Goals and Plans

In addition there are also greater goals and plans. I’ll devote some time to that discussion as well in Spring-Summer-Travel-Plans-Bob Davis Podcast 1086.

Where and When

After that I’ll get more specific about where to go and when.

What To Do

Even more what to do along the way.

Travel Jones

Finally we’re all getting the travel Jones.

Why Did I Hunker Down Again?

And it’s necessary every now and then to remember why we decided to hunker down in the first place.

Economic Conditions

I’ve done a few podcasts about economic conditions.

And where I think we’re headed.

I’ll be updating those as well progress into 2023.

Turn The Pages

But in the meantime it’s a lot of fun to turn the pages on these dusty maps shredded from use.

Warming Up Soon

To sum up it will be warming up in the Southwest soon and the rest of the country later.

Rubber Hits The Road

In short by then it will be time for the rubber to hit the road.

Can’t wait.

Requiem-For-An-American-Dream-Bob Davis Podcast 1082

Requiem For An American Dream

Firstly in any requiem for an American Dream we pay our respects to a time when it worked. Details in Requiem-For-An-American-Dream-Bob Davis Podcast 1082.

Negativity

Secondly negativity and division permeate our culture these days.

New Dream

Therefore at the end of another not so good year maybe we need a new dream.

Or you can refer to the movie ‘Blow’ for the ‘Maybe You Had The Wrong Dream’ quote.

Shared Vision

Above all in Requiem-For-An-American-Dream-Bob Davis Podcast 1082 I talk about the value of a shared vision for the future.

Values

For example the American Dream originally was based on the values of the Declaration of Independence.

History

And in the 1930’s the dream we know today was created out of whole cloth by historian James Truslow Adams.

Advertising

Consequently advertising got hold of it after World War 2.

Consumer Economy

As a result Truslow’s dream helped fuel the growth of the consumer economy in the United States.

Twisted Remnant

Since then The American Dream has become a sort of twisted remnant from a bygone age.

Aspirations

Yet most young adults begin their journey through life aspiring to the same old theme.

Maybe it’s time for a new dream?

New Year’s Resolutions

In addition this is time of the year we allow ourselves to think about the future.

Similarly why not think about a new shared vision for the future?

Rejecting The Traditional American Dream

Certainly I have rejected the traditional American Dream by becoming a nomad.

Artistic Business

And attempting to grow an artistic business on the road.

Tools Of Tech

Even more technology today for all it’s foibles provides the tools to create versions of the American Dream our grandparents never considered.

Telling Stories

In Requiem-For-An-American-Dream-Bob Davis Podcast 1082 I tell some stories from the bygone era and talk about the postwar economic and social history.

Thought Experiment

Further I think this thought exercise helps in a time when everyone is pointing fingers.
