I love Grant’s story: from a homeschooled teenage window cleaner in the South Carolina Lowcountry, to the Citadel then Marines, to a strength coach, to the (pandemic inspired) manufacturer of gym equipment, to balancing the obligations of his new business with his reservist commitments, to his year-long deployment and return late last year. “Improvise, Adapt, and Overcome!” Show notes on the Yeoman website [https://yeomanpodcast.com/2026/02/23/grant-broggi-32/].

Discussion of Paul Kingsnorth’s Against the Machine – #30

Justin Owings and Ty Abernathy joined Geoff to discuss Paul Kingsnorth’s latest book, Against the Machine [https://www.paulkingsnorth.net/against-machine]. Our two-hour, fire-side, dog-accompanied conversation covers a lot of territory—raising children in the age of the Machine, entrepreneurship, globalism and financialization, corporate bureaucracy, technocracy, rootedness, homelessness, skin-in-the-game, limits, GenZ—and we hardly scratched the surface.
