Spain, 1500-1590 In 1500, the New World had just recently been discovered, and Spain had just recently forced the Moorish invaders from the Iberian Peninsula. Expanding their army, expanding their navy, and the lengthy campaign to kick out the Moors had been expensive for the Spanish crown.

FIRST AID KITS AND PREPROGRAMMED RADIO PACKAGES AT https://kentuckysustainableliving.com/ Welcome back to Clickbait & Coffee, the morning show where preparedness meets real-world freedom, entrepreneurship, and survival mindset. In today’s episode, we’re breaking down why starting a business in 2025 is one of the most powerful forms of preparedness you can make. This is NOT about get-rich-quick schemes, social media hustle culture, or flashy online nonsense. This is about control, resilience, income security, self-reliance, and survival in an unstable economy. As inflation rises, layoffs increase, and the middle class gets crushed, more Americans are waking up to a hard truth: ? You cannot prep your way out of financial dependence without ownership. In this episode, we cover: ✅ Why relying on a job is more dangerous than most people realize ✅ How business ownership creates real financial preparedness ✅ Why side hustles are becoming modern survival plans ✅ How small businesses thrive during economic downturns ✅ The mindset difference between employees and owners ✅ Why skills are becoming the new currency ✅ How to build income streams that don’t collapse with the system ✅ What types of businesses actually work in hard times ✅ Why entrepreneurs survive disruptions better than employees ✅ How ownership builds long-term legacy and generational security We also discuss how business ownership connects directly to emergency preparedness, homesteading, survival planning, off-grid living, and community resilience. In a world where systems are fragile, your ability to provide value, goods, and services becomes just as important as food storage, security, and water. If you care about: • prepping • survival skills • homesteading • emergency preparedness • grid-down scenarios • economic collapse preparation • financial independence • off-grid living • bartering and trade • small business ownership • self-reliance • side hustles • recession-proof income • generational wealth • freedom from debt • community-based business Then this episode is required listening. This show is for the people who refuse to depend on broken systems, failing institutions, and fragile employment models. Preparedness is no longer just food and fuel — preparedness is owning how you make money. ☕ Grab your coffee. ? Tighten your mindset. ? And start building something that feeds your family no matter what the economy does. #Prepping #Preparedness #SurvivalSkills #Homesteading #OffGridLiving #SelfReliance #Entrepreneurship #SmallBusiness #SideHustle #FinancialFreedom #PrepperLife #GridDown #RecessionProof #ClickbaitAndCoffee #SurvivalMindset
