On today's episode, I'm going back to January 2021, when we were joined by our good friend, Nick Hudson from PANDA, where Nick outlined how the government lockdowns and the related intrusions on civil liberties posed a serious threat not only to lives, but to civilization itself. Nick's message was powerful and clear then as it is now: that the science was not "settled" when discussing COVID-19 as The Science™ tried to claim back in 2021, and that it was essential for us to keep fighting for justice in the name of all those who had died and suffered.

"Facts don't care about your feelings."   Hmm, where have we heard that before?   While the "facts over feelings" approach to selling politics may be the favorite of some conservative talking heads, let's look at the fact that the most persuasive people in the world use emotions. If you're a salesperson, you know that it's easy to fall into a trap of thinking that all you have to do is present the facts about your product or service—but that's not enough. You've got to make sure your audience is emotionally invested in what you're telling them. You can't just tell them that your product is better—you have to show them why it's better! And if you don't do this, they won't care about what you have to say—and then they won't buy from you. Today, I'm riding solo today to talk about the importance of not simply focusing on facts and figures when selling, but also on emotions and feelings. OH!!

Do you have family members who believe in big government, who think that taxes are good and that they're paying into a system that helps everyone? How do you convince them otherwise? Do you try to educate them on all the ways that government harms people through its programs and policies, or do you just tell them about how it's stealing from them? On today's episode, I'm heading over to Dan "Taxation is Theft" Behrman's aptly named podcast, "Taxation is Theft" from back in 2020. The topic we discussed fits perfectly with everyone likely sitting down for Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow - how do we sell liberty to those outside of our bubble? We talked about some tactics for convincing people outside of our bubble - but let's get real: most of us don't have time for an hour-long conversation about politics at Thanksgiving. What can we do when faced with these conversations as quickly as possible? We've got some tips for that too! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On today's episode, I'm joined by Chad Harman, Chief Executive Officer of Psycheceutical, who answers that very question and how his team at Psycheceutical is helping blaze the trail forward in this space. Psycheceutical is focused on developing innovative solutions to society's most pressing problems using psychedelics as medicines. Through their research, they've found that psychedelics are a powerful tool for treating mental health issues like depression and anxiety. They believe that psychedelics have the potential to be used as a therapeutic aid for people with conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and even schizophrenia—all without the side effects of current pharmaceutical medications. In this conversation, we discuss: -The current state of our mental health crisis and what it's doing to us as a society -How psychedelic pharmaceuticals can help treat depression and other disorders -How Psycheceutical is making this happen now instead of later - How psychedelic medicines can help people with mental health problems - Why there are so many misconceptions around these drugs Learn more about your ad choices.

Want to sell more?   Then try saying less.   Sounds counterintuitive, I know. But it’s true.   In fact, many of the most successful consumer brands and political organizations in the world do just that—and it works for them.   So, how can we do the same thing in the world of liberty politics? Can we sell more liberty by saying less?   Here's the thing: people are busy. They don't have time to read long emails/posts or watch long videos—and they definitely don't have time to sit through your long, rambling pitch.   Couple that with the fact that they have to worry about literally everything else in their lives and you've got a recipe for disaster. But what if we could cut through all of that clutter and get straight to the point? What if we could give people the information they need, quickly and concisely, so they don't have to wade through all of our political jargon?   Well, have no fear... not only is it possible, but on today's episode, I'm going to show you how.

In the greater liberty movement, you'll find more often than not that our candidates running for office are also our most vocal activists. But is that the best way to approach running for office?  It's not uncommon to see a candidate run for office and then lose, only to then become even more vocal. As an example, when Ron Paul lost his bid for the presidency in 2008 and 2012, he became even more outspoken about it than before.  Today, we go back to 2020 when Larry Sharpe joined the program to help outline how both candidates and activists are needed in the great liberty movement, and how each serves very different/unique roles in the greater scheme of things.

The United States is often thought of as a melting pot, where people from all over the world come together and work together to build a better future. But it looks like that ain't happening anymore. According to a recent study, Americans are more divided than ever before, as the report found that over the past three decades, Americans have become increasingly segregated by political ideology.  This is especially true when it comes to social media. The study found that most Americans now surround themselves with people who think like them, and as a result, are less likely to seek out different perspectives or engage in meaningful conversation. So, what can we do about it? On today's episode, we go back to 2020 with my interview with Associate Professor of Philosophy Kevin Vallier joins the show to discuss his new book, "Trust in a Polarized Age". We dive into what exactly has changed in America and why it's causing us to distrust each other more than ever before. Kevin and I talk about the philosophical roots of our political polarization, why someone would want to live in a bubble, and how we can break out of it. We also discuss what it means to be "trustworthy" in today's polarized political climate. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I'm sure you've heard that libertarianism is the political philosophy of selfishness and anarchy. But what if I told you that it's not? What if I told you that libertarianism is the only political philosophy that offers us a chance to truly save the world? On today's episode, I present a series of reasons why libertarianism offers some brilliant solutions to many of the world's problems. We'll talk about 5 ways in which libertarianism can save humanity: Libertarianism recognizes the beauty and importance of individual identity and freedom Libertarian education reforms will help children focus on true education versus blind indoctrination Libertarian taxation reforms would unleash economic growth and prosperity by eliminating corporate loopholes while empowering entrepreneurs/business owners Libertarian policies eliminate government overreach, allowing individuals and their communities to have more autonomy Libertarianism can help prevent nuclear war" What are your thoughts?

On today's episode, I'm riding solo discussing the 3 common biases you'll face when selling liberty. In this video, we'll discuss: - The first bias is the ostrich bias. This is when people refuse to acknowledge that a negative outcome is coming from a decision they made, so they "put their heads in the sand". - The second bias is confirmation bias. This is when people listen only to what they want to hear and ignore all other information presented to them. - The third bias is bandwagon bias/groupthink. This happens when individuals with similar beliefs come together and form their own group, which causes them to "go along" with one another and ignore any opposing views that are presented to them.
