The Future is Personalized Preparedness and EDV

What is going on in my world, PBN family? Let's have a look. The age of personalized preparedness is upon us, and I'm taking full advantage of it. We had a little bit of rain overnight. As you can see, we have, in my little area here, we've got 2,370 customers affected by 59 power outages. Thankfully, I'm not one of them. Thankfully, I'm not one of them, but even if I were, I've done this show on... solar power before. In fact, we used to do our live show exclusively off of our 0.0 generator years ago when they were a sponsor. If you're out there, Blue Eddie, if you're out there, EcoFlow, you want me to do my live show off of your generator to prove proof of concept, if you will. But where we're at right now, man, where we're at right now is BePreparedSolutions.com. We're Because this is this is personalization of preparedness. Right. This is we look down here at the scrolling news. We look at the view of where you live or where I live in this particular situation. And I get a feel for what's happening. You know, we talk about preparedness like I want to be able to click a link about flash flood warning and read this thing and see what's going on. So this was from yesterday. Right. Flash flood warning has been issued for Central Virginia to avoid flood. This was before the rain. This is the type of stuff that I want to know when I'm starting out my day, right? I want to be able to see what's going on. This is a wild story. This is not a wild story that happened halfway across the country, you know? This isn't a Clancy trial thing. This is man arrested after brandishing a knife at a children's soccer game in Chesterfield County, close by, right? We've got... We've got all kinds of things that we can dig into here. It looks like the Tuckahoe area has got a bunch of power outages. But we can look at our emergency alerts, right? As you can see, despite the weather, no big deal going on there. We do have another Cloudflare situation that's affecting Discord, Shopify, Peloton, of all things, and various websites. Cloudflare, incorrect geolocation for some Cloudflare users. We get a look at our air quality. We get a look at our James River. Oh, you know what? Tonight may be a night for fishing. See what I mean? But you see how this works, right? Because this is the deal with the Be Aware dashboard that I love. It pulls your mind back to where it needs to be. It becomes a part of your EDV, right? You know about EDC. EDC is a thing. You know about EDV. Do you know about what you're viewing every day and how it affects your life? Or what are the things that you should be viewing every day? For years, guys, I existed in a world where I was getting updates about Beirut. I was getting updates about Afghanistan. I was getting updates about the threats to military bases in Germany. You know what I mean? Nothing wrong with it. You know, it was an introductory for a civilian like myself. It was an introduction to Intel. Right. It was not organized. It was not. You know what I mean? It was. But for me, it was an introduction. It was like, look, you can get access to a lot of information that not everybody gets access to through text messages. And maybe some of it can help you. Some of it most certainly can motivate you. And every so often. You're going to get an alert that's going to be close to you, and you're going to say, oh, okay, take note. This is a new age, folks. Do you know what I mean? This is a new age. We have reached an age now where your EDV should be highly personalized. Your situation, the information you view, highly personalized. Now, you can create that on your own. You don't need a company to do it for you. You get smart with artificial intelligence and what to feed it in your local area and local information. You can do it yourself. Or you can go to BePreparedSolutions.co. You can use the promo code PBN20. Well, you can try the free three-day trial first and foremost and see how you like it, right? Then you can use PBN20 and get 20% off and you get the BeAware dashboard, right? Live every single day. And here's another thing about the BeAware dashboard. Be strategic, right? You tell it. You decide the area that it looks into. So, like, in a week or so, my wife is going to be doing some traveling. Well, my Be Aware dashboard is going to be working double time because I'm going to want to know what's going on where I'm at and I'm going to know what's going on where she's at. And I'm going to convey that stuff to her too, right? And I may even give her the login, right? Probably should have gave her the login already, to be honest with you. So, you know, these are... There's so much personalized information that you can pull from nowadays. But the dashboard itself here at Be Prepared Solutions is just, you know, it's you. It's your world, right? And you see, look, you see an address. It's not even really an address. It's a street on my Be Prepared dashboard that I'm sharing with you. Do you think that's my address, right? So you don't have to give all of your information up on the operational security side of things, right? to get a great understanding of sort of what's going on, you know, in your area. I get all this information, for those of you who are just listening to the podcast, I get all this information surrounding the Richmond area about what's going on. It doesn't have to be right on me, you know. But if you want it to be, it can be, right? Go over here to top stories. Just take a look at Richmond police investigate shooting that left one man critically injured. Fatal crash at Stony Point Fashion Park. Police arrest suspect in Virginia State University shooting the wounded five. And look, this stuff, you know, you got to have some armor to look at these threats. But these threats for me, what they do for me, when I read this stuff, I read this stuff to see what's the overall condition around here, right? I'm sort of building a long bay. And this goes into that sort of everyday viewing thing, right? You spend all your time on X, right? learning about California, Nick Shirley, Haitian criminals, right? You're filling your mind with a sort of outline of a certain part of the United States. Meanwhile, you should be building an outline of what's happening locally. You should be building trending events and changes to your operating area, right? To understand what's going on in your world. Because look, nobody is going to give you a report and tell you hey are you paying attention to what's going around on in your world nobody on fox is going to say oh by the way let's do that new segment that is what's going on in james walton's world you know it doesn't work that way it simply doesn't work that way so very important that you uh and look i have this up here as an example um Because these guys are our number one tech partner, right? BePreparedSolution.co has not only given us full access to their technology here, but on the back end, they've created technologies that are unbelievable, you know? And I guess I probably should show that off. So let's kill the dashboard real quick and we'll jump into the search because it's really amazing what they've done. And I don't know if I've showed it off yet on the... on the show. So let's double check. So we're killing off the PBN or, or the, uh, be aware dashboard. And what we're going to look at right now is the PBN brain, if you will, right. The brain of the prepper broadcasting network. Um, and let's, you know, let's do this. Okay. How do I get better Intel or intelligence? Right. And let's just see what comes up. And what, for those of you who are just watching, or listening rather, what we're doing right now is we are at bepreparedsolutions.co slash PBN slash search, okay? We're going to put this as a permanent link up on my website, prepperbroadcasting.com, so that you'll always be able to query the full archive of PBN's history, you know? And right now, We are not accessing all of the information on PBN. We're still curating. We're still transcribing 7,000 episodes. But again, it goes back to that personalization. This is the world now. I saw this world coming, if you remember, back when Red Beacon Daily News started, which we will get back to Red Beacon Daily News once National Preparedness Month is over. It's just too much. it's too much for me to do and it's too much for you to listen to. Nobody's going to get anything out of it either way. Um, But when we started, when I started seeing this micro technologies, right, the micro innovations in off-grid technologies, physical, and then the micro innovations in sort of artificial intelligence and other Intel related platforms being built. I said to myself, oh, prepping is changing. Prepping is changing in a big way and it's going to get way more efficient in a hurry. How do I get better intel or intelligence? I plug this into the search, bepreparedsolutions.co slash PBN slash search. It's not that much to write. I'll link to it down below in the show description. You have to check it out. I don't want to dawdle too much because I don't want to do a big long show. Because you got to listen to the Skycom National Preparedness Month show today. It has all our information about our emergency comms check-ins, weekly emergency comms check-ins. We may get to that in this show, too. So the archive, this brain of PBN gathers information, right, from various episodes, right? And then it spits out an archive answer. It spits out an answer that comes from all the podcasts that it's pulling information from. The archive answer here says, to improve intelligence gathering, understand the structured process used by the intelligence community, which involves planning, collecting, analyzing, and disseminating information. You can also learn to collect and analyze signals, intelligence or signal. Using tools like wideband communication receivers or software-defined radio, SDR dongles, to monitor radio transmissions and build a target packet from the observed signals. Now, it goes on and on. All of that comes from these shows, okay? Understand the intelligence-gathering process. Fact or fiction, that's source one. Learn to collect and analyze signals intelligence for situational awareness. Covert communications and surveillance. Right. Fact or fiction, man. I hadn't heard that show in a while. Chaos or clarity. But the second show is covert communications and surveillance with all hazards. Comp rep, which is a great show. There's a daily audio cash from October 16th, 2021. Actionable intelligence. Right. There is another one from actionable intelligence. And David Vine introduces himself, joined by Michael Klein from Reality Check. Right. This is so cool because what's so cool about it, we're just getting into it. Like, let's watch. Let's watch. How do I get into these guys? We'll go with the DAC, right? Boom. So we click the DAC and it expands out on it. Local information. And this guy right here, this little bit is pulled from the show. This right here is my words, right? However, when you're talking about making real preparedness decisions, real ones, you know, real decisions that are going to affect you and your family, where you live, and if you don't believe that's me, this is what you do. You click listen on PBN, and it takes you right to the episode, right? Or we scroll down here. We've got our fact or fiction. We've got our covert. Here's another great thing. You take the episode here, right? Same episode we were just looking at, Actionable Intelligences. What this does is even cooler. So now you get you get all the answers and all the stuff that's pulled from the show that matches your question. Right. Let's take one. Let's take let's take a longer one. This is the one we want. I gather. Yeah, let's do that. Where is it? I'm missing something here. Oh, I think that feature is not here. I'm missing it. Let me try to bright this up real quick. Okay. Do I have to click it? Well, what we had, and I guess it's not on here right now. This thing is actively improving and changing all the time. We're looking at the best way to do it. But what this used to have was a a place where we could play this directly from the show. We'll make sure we get that back. Cause that was really cool. Underneath here, there was a, underneath of the quote from the show, there'd be a play button. You press the play button and it plays the quote from that portion of the show. Very cool. Very, very cool. Tyler Reddick here from 2311 racing victory lane. Yeah. It's even better with Chumba by my side. One of the best things about Chumba casino.com away from the ads, right? Take you away from the ads altogether. If you hate the ads, this is the only recurring membership option that we're ever going to have here at PBN going forward. And it's really here for one purpose, to get rid of the ads. You listen to the podcast, you go, oh my God, I can't stand it. I feel like we do a great job at limiting ads. We do about one to two ads per show, not on the front end of the back end, but within the show. You go to the Spreaker, it's linked down, it's in all the show's descriptions, right? It's the PBN supporter, right? You join the PBN supporter for five bucks a month. The ads go away. They're gone. You listen to Spreaker. You listen on Spreaker. The ads are gone. I think they're gone on Spreaker only. They might be gone on Spotify. I got to sign up and double check that because they don't let you do anything on Spreaker in terms of like seeing how the supporter works. I thought I was going to be able to migrate all the or all the members rather, the long-term members over to Spreaker, no sweat, but they had no answer for that whatsoever. But Spreaker's been with us for a long time. They've done a solid forever all through COVID when we were getting completely tossed off of every single platform. And they've just always been there. They've always been solid. So the ads generate revenue for us. If you hate them and you want to get away from them, five bucks a month. And the bonus to that is that then you get access to the entire Spreaker archive of members only podcasts that exist there. And they're all great. They're all huge. They're all tremendous shows. I'm going to release one today that is all about the anthropic guy coming out and saying, we're all going to die from AI and what that'll look like and how to avoid it. Right. If AI is really going to come kill everybody, what do you have to do to avoid that? And there's a whole breakdown on, you know, the preparedness steps for that. So. If you want to get those kinds of things, then that's what you got to do. If you want to dig in deeper to the personalized preparedness and the sort of EDV mentality, like this is a direction we're going here at PBN. And we're going this direction because I think there's value there. I look at it this way. If there's value for me, then there's got to be value for you, right? There's got to be something there. And it's not just bepreparedsolutions.co. We've got a couple shows, a couple new shows on the horizon. I'm not ready to announce them today. But we've got a couple new shows on the horizon that are going to be very different, very fun shows that, with everything that's happening in the world, we have to figure out sort of what PBN is. Every couple years or so, we do a bit of a change in terms of our intro-outro stuff and sort of the feel of the network. And we're about to get a big change. And one of the, one of the reasons we're going to get a big change guys is because we had, I was, if you didn't hear it, you should listen to it. If you got a lot of time, cause it was a great time. We're doing this national preparedness month series. You know, I'm trying to get great people on to talk for about 15 to 20 minutes a day, do something unique and fun all through the month, every day of the month. And they're all up at, at prepper broadcasting network. They're all up on our rumble and that kind of thing. Um, And I bring Judson Carroll on and I'm like, let's do like 15, 20 minutes. Tell him about what you do because, you know, he's done amazing things for us here at BBN. Just go search herbal medicine for preppers on the prepperbroadcasting.com website. You'll be like, wow. Long story short, an hour 50 goes by and we're still chatting it up, having a good time. And we came to a conclusion, well, he came to a conclusion as we were sort of breaking down society and its shortcomings and, you know, what's the problem lately and what's the core of the, why are people so weird? Why are interactions so weird? Why is TV so bad? Why is entertainment a nightmare? And we basically arrived at this idea that, like, you know, it's no fun anymore. Fun is not a thing anymore in terms of entertainment. Fun is not a thing anymore. really very much in terms of television, in terms of human interaction, even in terms of interaction, like in the family, right? We got places to go. We got practices to do. We got people to see, we got homework to get done. You know, then we got, instead of like something fun at bedtime, we have a bedtime routine. We have this routine or that routine, a routine. And I think, but just as sort of as crazy as it was in 2018 to say, Hey, The real mental stability that people need is going to come from BBN and the prep abroad and prep. at large, right? The prepping concepts are going to actually benefit. If you told someone that the preppers are going to own the mental health because they're going to be able to actually teach you how to withstand what's happening in the world around you, they're going to improve your mental health because that's why we call it your path back to stability right now. That's exactly what we do, man. You're looking out at the world. You're going, oh, my God, things are so unstable. It's so crazy. It's so nuts. You go listen to PBN and you start growing food. You start collecting water. You start, you know, all these things start training different skills, practicing, you know, old lost skills. And all of a sudden you feel like, oh, I'm resilient. I got some resilience all of a sudden. Right. You start listening to reliance. Oh, oh, there's a God who loves me out there. There's a God who loves me out there and is underneath me in everything and in every way. He'll take my burdens. He'll take my woes. He's not a genie, but he's there and his framework's there and his book's there and it's always been there. And you add this layer of stability to your life that I think people who are really suffering can pull from, right? And if you told somebody that that that level of stability was going to come from the prepping community, the petrified, terrified, sort of paranoid prepping community, you would laugh, right? But that's what I said back in 2018. And now here we are almost 10 years later, and I think that the next thing for us to do, and it's because preppers are such an amazing group of people, you know, really. Really. it's hard to understand if you know, if you know PBN really well, if you know our friends really well, then you already know that's the truth, but we can be called upon in these times and we answer the call and we deliver. And I think right now, I think the next crazy step for prep, at least for PBN, right? The next crazy step is let's have some fun with all this, right? Let's have some fun with all of this stuff. So we got a couple of new shows on the, On the horizon, we've got redbeaconmedia.com. Just to expand a little bit and to enjoy a little bit and to really turn things back to fun and life and living and breathing as opposed to everyday calamity, everyday this side versus that side, everyday this complaint, everyday this guy did this wrong or this product released and it sucks or this movie released and it sucks or this video game released and it sucks. And here's why. And I know all the reasons why it sucks because I'm an expert at everything except my own life. I have to take 15 medications to get through a single day. But I'll tell you how I feel about Supergirl. So, all that being said, folks, I hope you enjoyed the Be Aware dashboard. You're going to be seeing a lot more of it. We will plug it in various regions around the country. But I'm going to try to open the show with it a lot because it's... It's just a better report than the drudge report. You know what I mean? It does more for me and it'll do more for you than going to some random Fox News website. If you like what you see, you can use the link down below to Be Prepared Solutions. That's our PBN link. You will get 20% off of all their services if you use that link. Or you can use the promo code PBN20 and you'll get 20% off also. You sign up for all of their services, right?

You can run more than one plan. You've got a brother and a sister and an uncle and an aunt. You know what I mean? So take advantage of this, guys. Plus, it's National Preparedness Month. You want to whip National Preparedness Month into shape really fast. Go in there and build one of those plans and be prepared solutions for you and your family. We're in the age of AI, folks. I hate to break it to you. If you're not actively shielding yourself online, and I mean actively, You know for a fact I put a lot of work into shielding my identity online. If you're not that guy, digitally operational security is probably out the window. There's a myriad of ways and programs and means to find you, find your house. I wouldn't wish it on you, but I'm just letting you know that if you're weighing the cost of putting some information in the Be Prepared Solutions platform to spit out a preparedness plan for yourself and your family that you can print and really put to use to better yourself for the next time a power outage comes or a hurricane or major situation. It's way worth it. It's way worth divulging that little bit of information about yourself onto the internet because all that information is out there already. And you got artificial intelligence agents that are scrolling all over the Internet. And by the way, like they can be as immoral as they like now. And Anthropic can just say, oh, they went rogue. I don't know what happened. They went rogue. We apologize. This is where we are. Right. So either get off grid or use the technology to your advantage. All right. I will talk to you soon, folks. Listen to today's National Preparedness Month show. Get your Skycom radio and join us Sunday nights for our radio check-in, our emergency communications radio check-in. Talk to you soon.
