Prosperity 101 Podcast hosted by Linda J Hansen

Who, What, When, Where, Why, How? Those are basic questions we ask when we want to learn about something. Have you ever wanted to learn about the mission and work of Prosperity 101®? What do we do besides the podcasts? Who started it? Why? When? How are we working to impact others, especially in the workplace, as we seek to promote freedom and prosperity in America and around the world? In this ep...

We may think Hollywood is all glitz and glamor, but for many people it is their workplace. How can we live out our relationship with Christ at work, whether we are on a factory floor, or a studio set starring in a Hollywood movie? What happens if an actor chooses Christ over career and decides to walk the talk regarding faith? It's not easy, but you will be encouraged and intrigued as you listen t...

United we stand, divided we fall. This is true in families, corporations, and countries. When it comes to winning the current culture war, we must unite around foundational principles that made our nation great. We must not let enemies of freedom divide us, break down our resistance, or weaken our energy to stand firm. America is not as divided as many in media and power would like us to believe,...

No Farms – No Food. While many people are unaware, there is an assault on family farms, locally owned farms, and our food supply, in general. You may have seen countless horrific reports of fires or other tragedies occurring at food processing facilities or large farms or ranches. Why is this happening? How can we prevent such tragedies and protect our food supply? Linda's guest in this episode is...

When we call 911 in an emergency, we expect someone to answer our call, to send help immediately, and for emergency personnel to arrive ready and able to deliver assistance in a professional manner. First responders, police officers, firefighters, and military personnel willingly put their lives on the line for us every day, yet they are often taken for granted or abused. The danger and stress can...

W e live in tumultuous times. Lies abound and speakers of truth are often silenced. Linda's guest in this episode has a unique cancellation in his resume, brought on by speaking truth in the Briefing Room of Power – the White House Briefing Room. Simon Ateba is the Chief White House Correspondent for Today News Africa in Washington, D.C., and Tucker Carlson has referred to him as the finest and mo...

Many business owners are frustrated with government involvement, intrusion, and heavy-handed oversight on their business. While facing regulation without representation, egregious tax codes, and soaring inflation, they just want to grow their businesses without economic straight-jackets. They want government to get out of the way. Linda's guest, David Mitchell, is a business owner who shares what...

If our goal is to make it easy to vote and hard to cheat, then we need to be well informed about Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) and other election integrity issues that can jeopardize the impact of our vote. RCV has many names, including Instant Runoff Voting (IRV) and Final Five, but no matter the name, the system of voting is a danger to the integrity of our elections and to the ability of citizens...

It is no secret that our rights as American citizens are under attack, yet our system of government was specifically designed to protect our rights and allow us to live as free people. Several recent court decisions have helped to secure our rights in many areas, and there are more cases on the horizon that will impact our freedom, as well. In this episode, Linda interviews renowned constitutional...

Have you ever been censored? Even if you may not have experienced personal censorship, it is likely you know of someone who has been silenced on social media or possibly may have had their entire profile removed with no warning. You may know of others who have had movies, books, or songs censored. This has rarely happened to creators of extremely violent or sexually graphic content, but it has hap...

In this episode, Linda invites listeners to share their experiences in educating employees about policy issues affecting the success of the company and employee job security. She emphasizes her belief that employers are uniquely qualified to educate employees on such matters because legislation, regulation, and taxation have huge impacts on business. Business drives the economy, funds government,...

Freedom is a fragile thing. If not protected, it can be easily lost for generations, bringing poverty, heartbreak, and despair. In many cases, it also brings death. If freedom is preserved, it can bring, hope, health, prosperity, human flourishing, and life. While it may seem like it does not affect us, freedom lost anywhere (like in Nigeria) affects freedom everywhere. The religious persecution o...

In this episode, Linda celebrates the milestone of releasing over 200 episodes, and shares with listeners the story of how Prosperity 101® began and the purpose for which the podcast and her other resources were created. Take a journey with Linda as she chronicles recently discussed topics, highlights issues that have been explored in past episodes, and knits it all together with a clear explanati...

In our ever-changing world, some things always remain the same. Up is up, down is down, the force of gravity is real, and no matter what current math programs may say, 2+2 still equals 4. The same is true regarding public policy. Many principles and policies are timeless in relevance and application to our lives. We can see this clearly when we take an objective look at history, and if we are wise...

The new year of 2024 is destined to be a year full of challenges for our country and for all freedom loving citizens. Whether you are an employer, employee, student, or parent, the changes happening in America affect you every single day. Partisan labels don't tell the whole truth about a person's worldview or beliefs and the uniparty reigns. People who simply want the Constitution protected, free...

Human trafficking is a tragedy that affects us all. When human life is devalued, our society suffers, and individuals are impacted for life from effects of the abuse. This often leads to generational patterns of abuse, addiction, crime, and mental health issues. The enormous, negative toll on individuals, families, businesses, and communities cannot be over-estimated. Linda's guest, Andi Buerger,...

It is impossible to have a growing business without profits. All business owners seek profits, but as Christian business leaders, we seek to align our work with our purpose (or calling), and to do so we need to understand policies that will allow the freedom necessary to expand for increased impact and success. In this episode, Linda interviews Krystal Parker, President of the US Christian Chamber...

An open border brings chaos. It is a national security risk and an ever-growing threat to the health and safety of millions. It is an economic disaster as it strains the nation's resources and puts undue burdens on taxpayers and state and local governments. Millions of people have entered the border illegally since the current administration opened the border in early 2021. While many illegals are...

We all have seen movies or read books in which evil masterminds plot world control and dominance. They describe a horrible, frightening world devoid of individual freedom. While often fictional, the stories have been quite prophetic. We are in a war right now for the heart and soul of our nation and for the freedom and liberty of citizens worldwide. Linda welcomes her guest, Reggie Littlejohn, to...

Politicians and bureaucrats are often known for hypocrisy, but it is especially rampant among those who oversee energy policy, especially in the United States. Citizen energy use is often curtailed and highly regulated, while elite decision makers disregard nearly every mandate they put on the masses. Gas stoves, thermostats, and vehicles are common targets of their agenda, but housing, food, and...

Successful businesses are the lifeblood of a healthy economy. Businesses pay taxes, create jobs, and provide incomes for millions of Americans who also pay taxes. The government has nothing unless taxes are paid, and taxes are only generated through a profitable business. Many current government policies are undermining business (and personal) prosperity by mandating programs that have little to d...

Have you ever thought about being in the arena – the arena of government and public policy? Have you considered entering the ring to fight for the freedoms you cherish? As citizens, we are all responsible to protect and promote liberty. How can we best do that? We may not all run for office or write best-selling books, but we all can offer our time, talents, and treasures to ensure freedom will be...

You've heard it said that the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. In a way, it is true. Mothers – and fathers – have a great impact on our nation as they teach and train their children. All great leaders were once children, and the impact of parents in a child's life is immeasurable. Our young people suffer when they are allowed to be grown up children instead of adults, and our culture su...

What if your home was invaded by a crowd of strangers who ate all your food, took all your money, committed violent crimes against your family, and called you racist or phobic if you asked them to leave? That is exactly what is happening on a larger scale in our nation today. Current immigration policies are not enforcing a secure border, they are creating a pathway for illegal immigrants to flood...

Are you frustrated with our federal government and the decisions that have led to our nation being in massive debt, on the brink of World War III, and in societal upheaval and a culture war? Are you angered when you see good people punished for speaking their minds or peacefully protesting, while others are not even prosecuted for crimes such as rioting, looting, drug dealing, and child sex traffi...
