I've found that I learn best when I didn't even realize I was learning in the first place. The same thing is true when we're selling liberty! How? While the debate over bold/principled versus practical/pragmatic messaging has taken the greater liberty movement by storm, longtime Libertarian activist Carla Howell joins the program to show how both a bold AND practical message can sell liberty, so long as that message is helping solve people's problems.

So, what makes a good salesman? Jeremy Todd is a sales professional and joins the program to answer that very question, plus how we can apply being a good salesman to the liberty movement.

Rampant inflation. Unemployment benefits run amuck. Supply chains being tested. The economy is being tested like it hasn't been in decades, leading many to be weary of its future prospects.

How can telling better stories help #SellLiberty? Matt Kibbe returns to the program to show how storytelling is a crucial tool in the toolbelt in helping illustrate our ideas and our solutions to a market of non-libertarians who are looking for answers.

What are the two emotions that drive buyers into action? Love and...? Fear. Knowing that, how is fear being using to sell us on massive government policies with price tags ranging from the billions and even trillions of dollars. Dr. Patrick Moore is one of the co-founders of Greenpeace and joins the program today to outline how easily fear can be used to motivate policy, actual science be damned, and how the contemporary environmental movement has focused less on saving the environment than it is being anti-humanity.

New York City is a shell of its former self. The COVID pandemic and ensuing government lockdowns absolutely decimated the "city that doesn't sleep".

Listen as Stacey outlines her vision for NYC residents & communities where they make their own choices, conduct business and do what’s in their best interests.

"We're all in this together!" Easily the most tone-deaf line from the entire pandemic. No, we're not all in this together. And as the lockdowns go on, the stockpiling of the amount of pain only increases. Clint from Liberty Lockdown started his podcast to address the concerns he was seeing, and today joins the program to outline what you can do and expect as time moves forward.

"Take two of these and call me in the morning." A classic doctor's line that we've all jokingly said in jest at one point or another. But what if the "take two of these" medications are only dealing with symptoms versus actually tackling the root of the problem? Addison Todd is the CEO and founder of Eables and MyDeltaEight and joins the show to focus on solving the underlying problems people are facing versus numbing the symptoms.

The COVID lockdowns have been one of the most divisive aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic, with many libertarians (like yours truly) raising the alarm to the threat of unintended consequences in blindly following the government's approved list of experts. But did I go to far? Did libertarians scare away potential liberty-curious folks by our strong stance against the government lockdowns? Economist and friend of the show Max Gulker returns to the program and gives his take while also challenging my stance that "if you're explaining, you're losing".

How can we help public sector workers exercise their First Amendment rights without fear of coercion from unions? Americans for Fair Treatment CEO David Osborne returns to the program to show how AFFT's mission has become increasingly important in recent years and solves that very problem.

Cancel culture. Identity politics. Wokeism. However you feel about the push for "social justice", it's hard to deny the manner that wokeism has grown from being only on college campuses, as it now permeates our modern discourse. Kenny Cody returns to the program and makes his case on why we need to fight back against this progressive ideology and embrace an attitude of rebellion.

New Jersey was one of the hardest hit states by the COVID pandemic, and the government's response to COVID likely ended up causing more pain than the virus alone. Governor Phil Murphy even went as far to say that worrying about the Bill of Rights was "above his pay grade" when being pressed on his administration's lockdown tactics. Gregg Mele decided that enough was enough, and announced that he was seeking to unseat Phil Murphy as governor under the Libertarian Party. Gregg joins the program to outline specifically why he is running for governor, and what he would do differently when compared to the current Murphy administration.

"The goal of the proposal is ...." Now, to judge how a proposal did, one would want to look at the actual outcomes of said proposal, versus just looking at the intentions of the proposal. And yet, when it comes to government programs and policies, it is the intentions that lawmakers seem to focus on. Nolan Gray is a housing researcher at UCLA, a former NYC city planner, host of the YouTube "Pop Culture Urbanism" (where he dissects housing & city questions from famous movies & TV shows), and joins the program to specifically address California's extreme environmental laws and where they ended up exacerbating the very problems they were seeking to address.
