Episode 226: “Rooted in Reality”
In this episode, we sit down with Staff Sargeant Lacy McDonald and Raven for a deep and wide-ranging conversation that touches on everything from food sustainability to the state of education in America. Lacy shares powerful insights from his work with The Big Green Dow and Kimbal Musk, and reflects on the impact he’s had—and continues to have—on the people around him. Raven takes us into her world of homesteading in Humboldt, California, offering a unique perspective on living closer to the earth and questioning the fragility of modern society.
We explore what it means to live without modern luxuries, the importance of knowing where your food comes from, and the glaring lack of Black men in education. Along the way, we confront our own missteps—apologizing for getting duped by misinformation about ancient structures—and talk about the broader issue of how social media can distort the truth. We also touch on recent political headlines, including Trump’s alarming comments about a potential third term, and return to a central theme: the importance of learning and staying grounded in what’s real.
This episode is a thoughtful reminder of the power of intentional living, honest conversation, and critical thinking.
