The Isaac Morehouse Podcast

Albert Lu, host of The Power & Market Report joins me to talk about how he got into podcasting (and got me into it!), his adventures in peaceful parenting and unschooling, and his favorite NFL team the New England Patriots.

I answer an audience question on the differences between for-profit enterprise and nonprofits, and which I prefer to work in.

I stopped by the pool today and had an epiphany about the difference between an attendant who chose to ignore the pool rules and government agents who follow the letter of the law.

Yes, Levi is my brother. But this isn't nepotism. He's a highly successful entrepreneur. His company Ceterus is growing and revolutionizing small business accounting. He joins me to talk about why it took him so long to dream big, what greatness means, whether it's for everyone, and how to balance being an entrepreneur with raising five boys. (We had some issues with the levels on this episode, so...

Zak Slayback was on scholarship at an Ivy League school. Derek Magill was on the Dean's list at a top tier university. They both dropped out, and they're both glad they did. Zak and Derek join me to discuss their experiences and offer thoughts on the university system and what dissatisfied students can do.

Max Borders joins me on this bonus episode to discuss the upcoming "Festival of the Future" called Voice & Exit (voiceandexit.com). We talk about what V&E is, why it's important to provide a safe space for radical ideas, and how to criticize by creating.

Steve Patterson joins the show to defend his claim that popular conceptions of quantum physics are claptrap, paradoxes don't and can't exist, and that being accurate is more important than believing what feels good. He also talks about his experiment as a freelance philosopher.

Bibliophile Chris Nelson joins me to discuss Adam Smith's work on language, the pros and cons of specialization in the economy at large and in the social sciences, whether battles over the meaning of words are worthwhile, and how intellectual movements can get lost in marketing.

How can you be a prolific writer and constant partyer at the same time? Jeff Tucker always seems to be having a good time and cranking out amazing content. I talk with him about how and why. Jeff discusses his work habits, why he says yes to everything, and how to push oneself to maximize every minute.

TK joins me to reclaim the celebration of achievement, whether and when to bring race into the discussion, if people need to have standing to share opinions, and why the show Stargate was too color blind.

I discuss the work of Rene Girard and Peter Leeson, and what both might teach us about trying to change society.

TK defends the self-help genre, being a sports fan, and belief in lies.

Praxis Education Director and relentlessly curious learner TK Coleman joins me to discuss the dangers of criticism, engaging in comment wars, and call-out culture. (Stick around for his Stephen A. Smith style take-down of my show near the end.)

Author and philosopher Steve Patterson on being an intellectual outside of the academy, why Bitcoin is so important, and how to harness your creative power.

Friend and colleague Zak Slayback on his recent and radical views on education, his love for aviation, and where he thinks the next big thing will come from.

Education, entrepreneurship, big ideas, how to put them into practice, and how to live free. We'll discuss whatever seems most interesting. Episodes released weekly on Monday morning. In this episode I lay the groundwork for the show. The why, who, what, and when. For notes on each episode go to isaacmorehouse.com Music: Dreamer by Reaktor Productions via Premiumbeat.com
