Hello Steemit community.
My name is Garth and I have just joined the ranks of putting out content.
I have made a video introduction which I will summarize below.
My Background
I am an early retiree otherwise know as F.I.R.E. (Financially Independent; Retire Early)
After retiring 3 years ago I bought 100 acres and am slowly building it into a permaculture farm through regenerative agriculture practices. During this time I built-out and lived in a van for 2 and a half years
I am a registered nurse but retired from the corporate world dealing with business development, quality and human resources among other things.
I have also been a keen dog trainer and gardener from a youngling.
What I hope to bring to the community
On the insistence of others and a desire to help more people I want to bring the skills that I have to those who want it.
Some of the broad topics I would like to cover are
- Early Retirement
- Engineering a good life
- Dog Training
- Frugality
- Fixing things
- Building things
- Vanlife
- Permaculture / Regenerative Agriculture
What I hope to gain from creating content
I heard recently the difference between a job and work is a job is something you get paid for, work is what you do to create. So I hope to work a lot on creating good content.
My goal for putting out this content is to learn how to spread the information that I have to give.
What I won't be doing
My goal is to put out content that is designed to inform. Of course entertainment is part of good content but I will not be compromising my values or ethics. What that means is that I won't be dishonest with my opinions but I will also be the first to admit that I have made mistakes. I have made too many mistakes before today so moving forward it stands to reason that I will continue to make them in everything I do. What I will say is that I will learn from these mistakes to become a better person.
My goal is to provide those who read, watch or listen some form of value. The value may be in the form of time, money, skills or joy but this is my prime goal is to provide you with value for the time you put in.
Thank you, I look forward to interacting with a community such as Steemit.
