Curtis’ farewell livestream
This Video is from the Youtube channel: “Off-Grid with Curtis Stone”.
Hello friends and family, starting this Saturday, August 30, I will be going dark on all social media and YouTube for an extended period of time. Not sure how long, maybe forever, not totally sure. All I know is that I need time to fully heal from the loss of my wife, be present with my kids and make time for my girlfriend Jen, who is stepping into a massive life shift for herself as well to integrate into our family and routine here on the homestead.
I’ll be hosting a farewell livestream on YouTube this Saturday, August 30 at 10 am PDT and I’ll be sharing some of my experiences and revelations I have had regarding grief, family, healing and what I see coming for the world at large. Then I’ll be saying goodbye for an extended period of time.
It’s been a long run for me in the public. 11 years posting on YouTube, publishing my book in 2016, building From The Field, which later became Freedom Farmers, travelling the world as a speaker and making videos on farms, it’s been quite the journey. But now, I want to go back to being a normal guy with a family and job. I’ve grown tired of making videos and constantly putting stuff out there.
I’ve done an assessment of the time all of these things take and I’ve realized they don’t add much value to my life, yet they take many hours a week. I can basically take all of that time and give it to my family, which would obviously yield so much more of an ROI. I recognize that my work has inspired and mobilized people to take action in their life, whether it be better homesteaders, gardeners or truther seekers looking to find freedom on their own sovereign path and I don’t take that lightly, but my work is out there and will stay there.
I just don’t feel like there is much else to say that hasn’t been said before and I have to put my families life first now. Over the last two years, I have also had a revisit to working in the private as a consultant and speaker with people one on one or small groups and I’ve realized that is what gives me a greater fulfillment than online because I can witness it, feel it and see the results immediately opposed to watching engagement online.
I will not be deleting my accounts, but just going dark and deleting all apps from my phone. I have had some pretty profound realizations since Katie passed in March. I have realized what is really important and what is not. I also see some major changes coming to the online world regarding AI and new financial systems and I think it’s a good time for me to disappear for a while and get back to being rooted in the present moment, my community and the natural world.
Regarding my work, I will be continuing to do my consulting in the private and I will also continue to be a public speaker at offline events and I will be appearing on the occasional podcast as a guest, so I will not be completely gone. Just as far as my regular content on my platforms are concerned, I’ll be gone. One immediate exception will be, I have a public speaking event coming up in September that may be streamed to my YouTube channel, so you might see that then. You might also see me on some X spaces and such to the run up to Saturday.
I will be keeping my Telegram channel as the place where I make announcements of appearances and events I have coming up, but that’s it. If you want to follow me there, you can: . Also, if you are a consulting client of mine, you will continue to be on my lists and nothing will change regarding that. My Law & Equity workshops will continue as they have been. Regrading the upcoming event on my homestead, you will get an email from us about any changes to that this week.
If you’d like to join me on Saturday, August 30 at 10 am PDT for my Farewell stream, please stop by. This will be the last thing I do for a while. You may see some more stuff from me up until Saturday.
Thank you and see you Saturday.
