Talking Lead 434 – 299 Days: Glen Tate

In this episode of the Talking Lead Podcast our guest is Glen Tate. Glen is an Attorney turned Author. During his time serving in a governmental roll, Glen realized, one day when noticing how fragile the United States supply chain is, that he needed to get better prepared for an inevitable collapse. We talk about Glen’s “299 Days” book series, his own personal life-and-death obstacles he has faced over the past 2 years that have made his resolve to be prepared even more a priority.

The 299 Days ten-book novel series written by Glen Tate, is a about the collapse of the United States.  The main character, Grant Matson, has a job that allows him to see what’s wrong with government. He realizes he needs to prepare for what’s coming and he does so.  His wife, Lisa, is reluctant to prepare because she thinks things are just fine.  When the civil unrest and political collapse hit in a dramatic way, it is undeniable that they need to leave their Olympia, Washington home and head to their cabin. Out at the cabin, a collection of amazing people assemble. They create their own community. There are no zombies or cannibalism; 299 Days describes a much more likely partial collapse scenario.
