What an amazing answer!
I'll definitely be following your YouTube to learn more about growing food and permaculture. At some point, I may reach out to ask some total noob questions about getting started in an urban environment with limited space.
As to the financial side, I have to confess that I'm not familiar with the 'eight forms of capital' that you mentioned. Are there any particular videos, sites, blogs, or books you'd recommend to get me started?
Throw em at me! We’re all learning here I’ll try my best lolz.
As far as the eight forms of capital I actually haven’t read any books nor have I heard many folks ever talking about it. I heard nostr:npub1f5pre6wl6ad87vr4hr5wppqq30sh58m4p33mthnjreh03qadcajs7gwt3z talking about it on a few podcasts. He was on nostr:npub1vwymuey3u7mf860ndrkw3r7dz30s0srg6tqmhtjzg7umtm6rn5eq2qzugd and John Vallis podcasts (I think).
I’ve mostly just seen the charts showing them and that was really all I needed, I’m conscious of them 24/7
Powerful stuff 
Thanks for the recommendations and the chart. That actually provides a great template for developing a plan for one's life, from a capital-based perspective. Eight is a pretty large number of areas to tackle all at once, but they are still solid building blocks to work on, even if one at a time.
As to the total noob questions, I guess they'd largely be centered around where to start. Beyond a small, decorative cactus that a student gave me, I'm not growing any plants at all. I've always thought that I could eventually start with some basic herbs (chilies, basil, spring onions) but don't know if there's something easier or better to start off with. For context, I'm living in a tropical, semi-urban area with limited space. So, I assume that small potted plants would be best for growing things in a rented unit and that I'll have to put permaculture on hold until I own some land? Is that about right?
