Prosperity 101 Podcast hosted by Linda J Hansen

There has recently been a great migration of citizens from states like New York, California, and Illinois, to states like Florida, South Dakota, Texas, and Tennessee. Why? How might this trend affect you? Eric Anton is a highly respected commercial real estate broker who has seen the rise and fall of New York City over many years. He and Linda discuss examples of economic policies and leadership s...

Taxes! We all dread the thought of taxes, and even more so when we see government recklessly using our hard-earned dollars to fund efforts that undermine personal freedoms and national prosperity, security, and sovereignty. What tax policies encourage growth, innovation, and human flourishing? What policies help businesses grow and wages increase? How can elected officials be held accountable to t...

It is no secret that the freedoms we have taken for granted in America are under attack. What can we do to preserve our liberties? In this episode, Linda shares her vision for creating awareness regarding public policy issues that affect job creation, job security, and the freedom to thrive and prosper.

Things are not always as they seem. Many inflation reduction actions do not reduce inflation; debts are transferred, not forgiven; and free money is never free. How much are you willing to pay for government programs that provide incentives and subsidies designed to achieve political objectives? Would you like to pay debts belonging to others? Policy double-speak easily distracts the taxpayer from...

Flip the switch and flip the script. Reliable sources and secure supply chains for food and fuel are necessary for a healthy, well-functioning society. We often take both for granted. Are politicians protecting our best interests as they create energy policies? Are we being told the truth? Higher prices at gas pumps, empty grocery shelves, and soaring inflation remind us not all politicians make w...

With stories gleaned from his research and experience, examples from o...

America is at a crossroads. No matter who you are or where you live or work, your freedoms are at risk due to a blatant disregard for the US Constitution and the rule of law by many of our elected officials at all levels of government. What can we do to return to a country where freedoms are protected for all people, not just those who support certain political agendas? People from all walks of li...

Being prepared for unexpected emergencies is important. Floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires threaten safety, especially for the ill or disabled. However, natural disasters are not the only things that can impact health and safety. Elections have consequences and policy matters. Energy shortages, supply chain issues, empty store shelves, and inflationary high prices for food and fuel have...

If you are striving to get ahead, build a business, or make an impact on public policy, that's great. Work is important. But life is short. Few people wish they could spend more time at the office when they are on their deathbed. Many wish they had more time to spend with the people they love. How do we value our work while valuing relationships? How do we keep first things first? In this episode,...

While sex trafficking has long been a plague upon society, the increase in the victimization of children through sexual abuse and trafficking has skyrocketed in recent years. The traumatic effects are impacting individuals, families, businesses, communities, and our county. We must not ignore this and hope it will go away. It will not. We must be aware of how to stop it, how to protect young peopl...

Inflation has hit every American household and affects every individual, as well as our national sovereignty and security. Solutions are available, but it will take wise, bold leadership to set our country back on course.

Gas prices are approaching $10.00 a gallon in some areas, grocery costs have nearly doubled, and baby formula is unavailable for most parents in the U.S. The border is wide open, taxpayers provide economic assistance to millions of illegals, and our government has decided to send money overseas, which increases our national debt. Inflation affects every American and undermines our national soverei...

Freedom is never free. Many have given their lives in defense of freedom. We grieve with their loved ones and honor their sacrifice. How can we honor the fallen by fighting for freedom today? We may not all be soldiers in uniform, but we must all step up to fight for truth, justice, our Constitution, and the principles that made this nation great. Our country is at a crossroads. Will we hold true...

A signal can be defined as something that conveys a warning or spurs action, and noise may be defined as a sound or message that interferes with one's hearing. With so many voices clamoring for attention, how can we sift through the noise to hear – and heed – the signal? How can we discern what is true? Once we gain knowledge to understand the signal, how can we wisely respond? To help make sense...

Many people are surprised at the perceived swiftness of cultural shifts in our society affecting economic prosperity, national security, and the stability of families and communities. Freedoms we once took for granted hang in the balance. It may seem sudden, but change happens slowly until it happens all at once. Ideologies dominating the upheaval have been permeating our educational system for de...

As the immigration crisis continues, it is important to listen to the voices of immigrants who came here legally. Many have contributed greatly to our society and have worked hard to achieve their American Dream.

You've heard it said that all politics is local. Mainstream media tends to focus on national or state politics, but the real drivers of policy are everyday citizens who become involved at local levels. "We The People" are still in charge of our government. As citizens, it is our responsibility to protect our freedom, and we can – and should – do so with more than just our vote. If you are an emplo...
