Here at INVICTUS we write a lot about living intentionally, raising a family, and leaving a legacy. But what does that actually look like in practice?
When in comes to applying the ideas we discuss in real life, few do it better than Ryan B. Anderson. Creator of the immensely popular Old Hollow Tree account on X and fellow author on Substack, Ryan has extensively documented his journey returning to his childhood home, gaining independence by creating online, and launching a family business. As such, I asked him to sit down with me to share what it’s actually like to apply INVICTUS principles to the real world.
In preparing for our interview, I realized that Ryan had followed nearly step-by-step everything that I outlined in my article How to Escape the Matrix: getting a remote job, building a digital audience, creating a business to pass down to your children, etc. Not only he is a wonderful example to follow, but he’s a wonderful man, living his life focused on what matters most and helping others do the same.
Our hour long conversation is available now and is free for all readers of INVICTUS. If you’re considering stepping out and taking a risk to secure your family’s future, I’m confident Ryan’s story will help you a ton. After you listen, be sure to check out both his writing here on Substack (article linked below), and Humming Meadow Honey!
