I have a few albums released along with my personal project the “World Networking Podcast [WNP]” and running “The Fools Will Persist” discord community. I am excited to be assisting in developing this project of ours. I look forward to meeting and greeting those I may come in contact with. I believe we have some great potential as a group coming together to build good things, thoughts, and trust towards the good in humanity worth shouting out. I try my best to look at the positives of our world, but part of the challenge of reality is being in it. I hope to learn more understanding and patience with the world around me through this journey with each and every one of you on a real level. I truly hope you come to enjoy our content, as it’s from the heart.

I grew up in the Midwest, in the Chicago suburbs. I had no real direction in life after high school so I joined the Air Force as a heavy equipment operator which included truck driver to haul my own equipment to the jobsite. I took those skills back to the big city and hauled loads to and from railroads. That led me to eventually getting a job at the Chicago & Northwestern RR moving trailers and the as a crane operator lifting sea containers on and off trains. By 1989 I was sick of Chicago and got a way out so I packed up and moved to Napa, CA. When the job I thought was waiting for me vanished, I moved to the Sacramento area and started hauling heavy equipment for rental yards. Us rentals/United rentals, Holt of CA. Then got a job with Sacramento County running equipment at the landfill.
The whole time I was trucking I wanted a garden but had no extra time so I found as many shortcuts as possible to grow plants, roses mostly (happy wife/happy life).
When I bought my house I looked for a large backyard and found a home in Carmichael, CA. From there I built a pond, planted 30 different roses, planted a fruit tree between each of them (backyard orchard culture) then tilled my backyard for vegetable production, growing tomatoes vertically, with drip irrigation under black plastic, timers and so I had no extra work on my Time off. No weeding, no watering, just pick ripe fruit (yes, tomatoes are fruit). I took any extras to the local food kitchen at a church, which over time was hundreds of pounds of produce. I grew citrus, bananas, and stone fruit, apples, and pears. Life was good, until my wife took her life in 2011 while I was at work one day.
I eventually met Lisa online, visited her In Quincy, found we both loved gardening and eventually moved there. Since then I have still been gardening, with her and am very happy with the move.

I am a recent graduate of Sonoma State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology and a Minor in Music. I am currently attending Foothill College in Los Altos working as Staff during the Archaeology Field school offered at the community college, while working full time at Enterprise rent-a-car. At this moment I am working toward finding a job within the field of Archaeology to gain more experience and improve my knowledge surrounding Anthropology as a whole.
I have a wide range of experience when it comes to work as I have been employed by many different companies and departments since graduating high school, including trail work, data collection, student assistant at the university library, and many other avenues I have gathered skills from.
I enjoy participating in discussions and conversations pertaining to philosophy, especially Stoicism, the contemplation of human existence, anthropology, and my personal favorite, 40k lore (for those of you nerds out there). I hope to contribute to the podcasts in a constructive manner and the perspective that I bring to the discussions resonates with listeners and encourages them to pursue their interests.

Daniel Kearns is a researcher, activist and healer, living in Northern California. He had a life changing experience while deployed in Afghanistan with the U.S. Marine Corps. An Idealist, Kearns joined the Marine Corps because he believed that our enemies were the “bad guys”, we were the “good guys” and that by helping defeat the “bad guys”, we could make the world a better place. This notion came crashing down when Kearns learned firsthand that U.S. forces in Afghanistan were securing opium for the pharmaceutical industry and lithium for the soon to be exploding electric car and home battery industries. Additionally, he saw that the vast majority of the “enemy” who we were killing and capturing were in fact, innocent family men and farmers who were coerced into fighting with threats of death and torture upon their families, should they refuse. This was heartbreaking to Kearns and caused his whole paradigm to flip upside down. We weren’t helping, we were invading and exploiting. He was tricked into believing that waging war was a path to peace, all the while being used as a pawn for the wicked agenda of the military-industrial complex. This was difficult to come to terms with.
With a new perspective on the world, Kearns set out rebuilding his paradigm, one that would account for the great deception he was foiled by. This led to the constant pondering of the question: If they lied about this, what else are they lying about? The discoveries he found were life changing as well. As many who seek truth do, Kearns became frustrated and angered by his discoveries. It seemed that everywhere one looked there was a government entity covering this up, a corporation covering that up, a politician lying about this, a CEO lying about that. The worst part was, that the very people he took an oath to defend us from the “enemy”, were the ones being exploited by their own government, corporations, politicians. The real war on terror was playing out right here in our homes, schools, grocery stores, hospitals, town halls. The war was not between this country or that country, it was between Light and dark, good and evil and we are all in it, whether we even believe in it or not. As a recovering Catholic, Kearns did not even have a belief base to fall back on.
Through a series of Divine and Synchronistic occurrences, Kearns found new meaning and purpose in life. These events led him to understand that we are cosmic BEings who have chosen to incarnate on Earth for many reasons including but not limited to: soul growth and conscious expansion, akashic contract fulfillment, to aid in or simply experience the ascension process, to be anchors of Light, to usher in the Golden Age of Aquarius, to go through the learning process of BEing in a physical body and many more. These discoveries sent Kearns on the quest for his own identity and purpose. This quest led him to becoming a Reiki practitioner and receiving training in shamanic healing modalities. There is much at work which is unseen. Knowledge of these unseen forces and how to integrate them into our lives in a constructive way is very old. Human BEings have abilities that have largely been forgotten. These abilities are coming back to us. We can heal ourselves. We can heal each other. We can work through our traumas. Traumas from this life and many others as well. You have the power within you to overcome all challenges and thrive. Kearns has worked with dozens of individuals, helping them along their unique paths of healing and reclaiming their sovereignty.
The experiences he had along the way have only confirmed his suspicions of the battle between Light and dark. Kearns shares his discoveries with the intention of using his perspective to give confirmation and support to others who have seen similar things on their paths. These experiences can cause one to feel helpless and alone. Truth is, we are not helpless and certainly not alone either. Kearns holds space for all truths, as each one is precisely what each of our souls needs in order to fulfill our contracts.
A 23 year old from Quincy California.
I spend most of my time outside working in a variety of occupations including: tree care, trail building, logging, and environmental restoration. I dabble in a multitude of creative outlets – writing, music, and philosophy – to name a few. Outside of that, I love to trek around in the wilderness, and feel most at ease when stoking a campfire.
I strive to relate to the world and the people around me in a meaningful manner. I am a reluctant leader and an avid listener. I believe that progress can only be measured on a personal level, and that the path is winding and full of obstacles. I challenge myself to face these obstacles head on to actively change my situation.
My hope is that I can become an effective voice for anyone who feels lost and out of place. My goal is to bridge divides and facilitate conversation between opposing viewpoints to shed light on the fact that we all have more in common with each other than we think.
