On today's episode I'm joined by Carla Gericke from the Free State Project to discuss the importance of setting your own narratives versus responding to the narratives set by others. Whether it's the media, a friend, or even a complete stranger, we are constantly bombarded with narratives about how things work. But what if we were in charge of setting our own narratives? What if you could control...

In today's episode, I'm walking through 4 speeches/ads from 4 past presidents and outlining why they worked and what we can learn from them. I want to start by saying that when you're trying to sell something, there's a lot of different ways you could go about it: You could be like Ronald Reagan's 1984 "Morning in America" ad that was so effective at selling America on Reagan's vision that it help...

On today's episode I'm joined by Morgan Bonwell from Right Strategies. We're talking about what it takes to be a political candidate in today's world.

Where's that fine line between being bold and being toxic? With the LPNH's recent controversial John McCain tweet, that topic of conversation has popped back up... So, who better to talk about this than LPNH's own Jeremy Kauffman!? Jeremy is running for US Senate in New Hampshire and joins the show to talk about where the line is (is there a line?) when balancing a bold messaging with controversy....

Collectivists of many stripes—but one aim—have been eating away at our free society for over one hundred years. If we want to reverse America’s current slide into authoritarianism and actively move towards a fully free society, we need to be as clear about our goals as the collectivists have been about theirs. And theirs have always been power and control—to that end, ingeniously using indoctrinat...

We've all heard the old saying that you're only as good as your wingman. But what does that mean? And how do you build trust with your partners? And how can you lead with a single-minded focus on success? These are just some of the questi...

President Biden reportedly plans to announce a long-awaited plan to forgive up to $10,000 in student loans and extend the COVID pause in repayments one more time.

On today's episode, I talk about how the Libertarian Party will find success when they adopt the approach of knowing their market and meeting them where they're at on the issues they care about. Libertarians need to know that there are many people who have never been exposed to libertarianism before, so we need to meet them where they're at on the issues that matter most to them. This is so we can...

Liz Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney and a former State Department official under George W. Bush, is best known for her conservative political views and her distaste for President Donald Trump. She ran in the Republican primary for Wyoming's at-large congressional district this week, but unsurprisingly lost to Trump-endorsed candidate Harriet Hageman by a whopping margin o...

On today's episode, I explain how we can learn from Ron Paul's 2008 campaign when it comes to standing out from the crowd and building long-term trust. Ron Paul was an outsider in the 2008 presidential race. He wasn't part of the establishment and he had a lot of so-called "controversial" ideas that didn't seem to appeal to many people. But despite this, he managed to get a lot of votes—and even m...

When you use strategic voting, you put your vote where it wil...

On today's episode, I'm going to talk about how we have to actually talk to people about the issues that matter to them, even when those conversations might become uncomfortable.
