Prosperity 101 Podcast hosted by Linda J Hansen

We have all witnessed the boxing match of politics as dueling agendas have been promoted over the last several years, and especially in this last election. It has been a fight to the finish, not just for those at the top of the ticket, but for all down ballot candidates and citizen activists on both sides of the political aisle. We eagerly watched and waited in suspense for the winner to be announ...

The recent landslide victory for Donald Trump was not simply a victory for a person or a party. The landslide was a generational mandate for America to return to Constitutional principles of individual freedom, liberty, capitalism, and common sense. Engaging young people in meaningful, non-judgmental conversations, educating them on issues, and empowering them to chase freedom by encouraging voter...

The recent election provided a window into the heart and soul of America. This was not just a win for President Trump, it was a generational mandate in favor of the principles and policies that have made America great. Voters who chose Trump did not vote for a single man, they voted for policies that will promote freedom, opportunity, and prosperity for all American citizens…not just for Trump sup...

To most people, UOCAVA sounds like some exotic fruit.  But to those of us working towards free, fair, honest, and transparent elections the term often causes concern due to the enormous opportunity for election fraud in the current implementation of UOCAVA, which is the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act. This Act applies to certain U.S. citizens who desire to vote while overseas...

America is a welcoming country. We are a land full of immigrants from all races, religions, and ethnic backgrounds. We welcome immigrants. However, current open-border policies are not truly helping immigrants or our nation overall.  Legal immigration is good.  Illegal immigration brings harm to all involved. The overwhelming flood of population being sent to cities and small towns across the coun...

In the age of sound bites and media clips, it is easy to be confused or misled about the immigration crisis. It is even more difficult during a tumultuous election season when very few media outlets provide truth to the American people. How can you know the facts? The best way to discern truth from error is to gather first-hand accounts from those who have lived and/or worked at the border over ma...

Our nation is suffering. We have wars and rumors of wars, record breaking inflation, a border crisis, and increasing violent crime across the country. Our supply chains are in peril from worker strikes and unprecedented national disasters. There has never been a better time to invest in Made in America businesses that support the values and principles that have made this nation great. Linda interv...

It seems only common-sense to make sure that only American citizens vote in American elections. Legal immigrants who become citizens are welcomed and encouraged to vote, however the law is very clear regarding consequences for non-citizen voters. The flood of illegal immigrants entering our nation due to open-border policies is a danger to the integrity of our elections, especially when the new im...

In challenging economic times, every purchase matters for businesses and individuals. Are you tired of giving your dollars to companies that do not share your values? Would you like to support American businesses so jobs can be created and sustained across the nation and in your local community? Would you like to have a larger purpose with every purchase? In this interview, Linda interviews a retu...

Every election is important, and our founders created a system that protects the rights of people to choose their elected officials. Freedom to vote is a right not given in every country, yet it is often taken for granted and we have not always guarded our votes with the care and protection needed. Most Americans want free, fair, honest, transparent elections, but unfortunately, that is not always...

Have you seen the movie THE FORGE? If not, it is MUST-SEE film. It is real, raw, and addresses many issues we all face as we navigate challenging seasons in life. Whether you are a business owner, an employee, a parent, or student, this film will touch you at the deepest levels and provide hope as you face unknown futures, relationship struggles, or financial insecurity. Linda's guests, Cameron an...

The issue of human trafficking, especially the abusive sexual trafficking of women and children, is inextricably linked to current soft-on-crime policies at our open border, and it is also linked to our educational system and culture as we have allowed young children to be exposed to inappropriate sexual content in the classroom and in media. Sexual abuse is rampant, and music and entertainment op...

If you are a business owner, you have been bitten by the entrepreneur bug. Even if you are not an entrepreneur, you may have thought about starting your own business. Entrepreneurship drives the economy as ideas blossom into profitable companies, which then provide jobs for people of all ages and taxes to contribute to the overall economy.  The teaching of basic entrepreneurship skills has been so...

This episode takes you behind the scenes a bit as it was recorded while Linda was attending the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The episode includes three conversations which provide a variety of perspectives on the issues of the day and what we need to do help our nation stay strong.  Linda first interviewed famed swimmer and advocate for women's rights, Riley Gaines. Rile...

Complacency kills. We can apply that truth to nearly every area of life. As our nation has spiraled into chaos, it is becoming more and more apparent that citizen apathy and complacency have allowed it to progress. Many do not speak up due to fear of being cancelled, slandered, or put out of business. Fear has silenced far too many wise patriots who need to have a voice for the preservation of our...

How do you watch television? Streaming services now outpace cable and satellite and they have become the new normal when it comes to the way we view media. Cable TV is no longer the dominate force in ratings, and we have many new options from which to choose.  What does this mean for consumers?  Linda's guest in this episode is Rob Patz, co-founder of Abundant TV, the fastest growing Christian tel...

Taxes. They can be the kiss of death for your personal finances, especially when they keep rising and the hidden tax of inflation keeps soaring. Government does not have an income problem. Government has a spending problem. How can we cut the cost of government while prioritizing America-first, business-friendly policies that will spark rapid economic growth and increase prosperity for the average...

What policies promote freedom and prosperity? How do we identify policies that will help individuals, businesses, communities, and nations to thrive? Linda's guest in this episode, Jonathan Williams, refers to America's fifty states as laboratories of democracy and shares insights into the positive and negative outcomes of policies enacted by each state government.  Jonathan is the Chief Economist...

In this episode, Linda interviews two gentlemen who legally immigrated and are now hard-working American citizens. One came from Ethiopia, one from Sierra Leone.  Their experiences and the wisdom they share illuminate the need for an end to our current open-border immigration policies, skyrocketing inflation, lawless cities, and involvement in wars and conflicts around the world. As immigrants, th...

If the title seems broad, you will appreciate linking it all together as you listen to the fascinating story of the many outreach and service projects organized by Linda's guest, Jason Jones. Jason runs several organizations that promote freedom and human flourishing. He is involved in creating award winning movies, running humanitarian organizations, and publishing books and online resources to f...

There's a dangerous trend of censorship happening across America and around the world. Free speech and the freedom to conduct commerce are severely curtailed by over-zealous, power-hungry governments intent on silencing anyone in opposition to globalist elite narratives. Many innocent law-abiding, patriotic people have been censored, cancelled, de-banked, put out of business, or even jailed becaus...

Freedom is never free. It is fought for on battlefields, in courtrooms and government hearing rooms, and through education and airwaves as people throughout the ages have sought to be free. Globalist elites have been working diligently to gain power and control of people across the world through various treaties and agreements decided by unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats who are eager to microm...

The threat of terrorism within our borders has increased dramatically due to open border policies of the current administration. Every town is now a border town as illegal immigrants are being funneled into big cities, small towns, and rural areas across the nation. Each area is suffering with the economic, public health, and security challenges of such mass migration. Linda explores this increasi...

It has often been assumed that a member of a union would always vote Democrat. If the union told them to vote Democrat, they did it. It was the union way. No questions, just allegiance. However, that paradigm may be shifting as union members around the country are realizing the policies the union supports are not always the policies that help businesses thrive or families to flourish. What is caus...

You have likely heard of people who have been de-banked or cancelled in one way or another due to their conservative viewpoints. How can we, as business leaders or simply as consumers, protect ourselves from being cancelled and yet stay true to our values? One way is to support organizations that align with our beliefs and values, like our newest Strategic Partner, Pro-Life Payments. Listen as Lin...
