In this episode of The Undependent Podcast, I dive into the crucial yet often overlooked aspect of prepping: the preparedness mindset. Jason discusses the importance of cultivating mental resilience, adaptability, and awareness in everyday life, emphasizing that preparedness is more than having the right tools—it's about how you think and react. Through personal stories, including his experiences in cybersecurity and responses to job loss, Jason illustrates how a strong mindset can lead to better decisions and ultimately more freedom. He also talks about staying calm under pressure, the role of situational awareness, and small, actionable steps like taking first aid courses or having multiple backup plans. A significant focus is on learning from real-world experiences, such as Hurricane Katrina and economic challenges, and how those lessons apply to modern preparedness.
