They say no one leaves paradise — but they haven't looked at California lately. California has the beaches, the sunshine, and the red tape.

Today on The Real Story: Why we made the move — and why businesses like Tesla, Oracle, Realtor.com, and John Paul Mitchell are doing the same.

Long before he became a bestselling writer, Ocean Vuong sold rotisserie chickens at Boston Market. In his latest novel, The Emperor of Gladness, he explores the meaning that can be found in the daily grind of a fast food restaurant. The book follows a young addict named Hai as he unexpectedly becomes caretaker to an elderly woman and makes unlikely connections at the fast-food restaurant where he works.

Is the American Dream Dead Debt, Inflation & Crisis R. Christopher Whalen Interview by Ron Paul Liberty Report

Aprille Noble is a veteran with a passion for helping people live the American Dream of owning their own home.

She shares tips and real-life success stories to help those achieve what they otherwise may think impossible.  You can reach Aprille through her website: https://aprilletheloanofficer.com/

The Democratic Party has become too focused on appeasing its billionaire donors and has failed to communicate its commitment to the working class, argues long-time political journalist David Sirota. The question moving forward, he says, is if the party can ever refocus its brand orthodoxy from prioritizing social and cultural issues to economic populism.Sirota joins Bethany and Luigi to dissect the outsized role of money in American politics and how it has rendered Democratic messaging incoherent by prioritizing wealthy donors over the public. He describes the current moment of populist rage against the Democratic leadership, as evidenced by polls, as a “long overdue” opportunity and offers an explanation for how economic populism became pivotal to winning elections – thus shedding light on how to reclaim the platform moving forward. He describes how former President Barack Obama's "selling out" to Wall Street and big banks became a “generational tragedy,” why Trump's tariffs are more of a power grab than legitimate economic policy to revive manufacturing, and responds to Luigi's hypothesis that populist rhetoric and policy are much easier from the right than from the left.Sirota is the founder and editor of the investigative news outlet The Lever, served as a speechwriter for Bernie Sanders, earned an Academy Award nomination for screenwriting the 2020 Netflix climate apocalypse drama Don't Look Up, and has written three books, including one on how corporate interests have shaped American economic policy.Over the last four years, Capitalisn't has interviewed conservative thinkers like Oren Cass, Patrick Deneen, and Sohrab Ahmari to understand how the political right developed a new platform after President Joe Biden's victory in 2020. With this episode, we continue the same project with the left, by asking: What could be the economic basis for a new progressive platform?Also check out: How Democrats Forgot to Be Normal, with Joan WilliamsHow Big Money Changed the Democratic Game, with Daniel ZiblattWhat Happened to the American Dream?

Former Obama chief of staff and Chicago mayor Rahm Emanuel joins Joanna Coles to unpack the stunning news that Donald Trump bombed Iran's nuclear facilities—against the judgment of his own intelligence agencies. Emanuel, whose two sons serve in the U.S. Navy, lays out a sobering, real-world framework for how a president should handle such a volatile decision, and why Trump's impulsive, “instinct-driven” approach endangers global stability. He warns that Tulsi Gabbard and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth represent a dangerous, unserious national security apparatus—and says plainly that the current commander-in-chief lacks the discipline, curiosity, or character for the job. Emanuel, who's also a CNN contributor, opens up about sleepless nights, military service, and his own possible 2028 run for president—and what it would take to make the American Dream affordable again.

Ever feel like you're grinding non-stop but still falling short of that big dream? In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'll drop some serious truth bombs on what it takes to live the life you want, without sacrificing your sanity, family, or soul.In this powerful conversation, I sit down with none other than Bedros Keuilian, a straight-up beast of an entrepreneur and the founder of Fit Body Bootcamp, one of the fastest-growing fitness franchises in the world. Bedros isn't just a business boss—he's a man who's done the deep inner work, battled through chaos, and come out the other side more dialed-in than ever.We jammed on a ton of important topics, from smashing the myths around the “American Dream” to redefining what true success really looks like. Bedros shares how he shifted from being a hands-on CEO to a leader of leaders, and how that move changed the game, not just in business, but in his marriage, fatherhood, and personal growth.This episode is a reminder that discipline backed by standards is the real flex. Not hustle till you burn out. Not “fake it till you make it.” But showing up every day aligned, intentional, and willing to lead yourself first. Bedros opens up about how he makes decisions through the lens of his standards, even something as simple as deciding whether or not to hang with the bros on a Friday night. And that level of clarity? It's rare—and powerful.Here are a few game-changing takeaways from the convo:The American Dream isn't dead—it's more accessible than ever. But you've gotta stop blaming the system and start owning your actions.Discipline is overrated if it's not backed by non-negotiable standards. Set your standards, filter every decision through them, and you'll move differently.Success in business means nothing if you're failing at home. Bedros keeps it real about showing up for his wife and kid, even when it's hard.Marriage takes work, and walk-away moments happen. But how you show up when things get tough defines the strength of your relationship.Faith, AI, and community all play a role in this new era of leadership. Whether it's spiritual growth or embracing tech, it's about evolving while staying grounded.If you're a purpose-driven hustler looking to harmonize your ambition with a deep, meaningful connection, this is the episode for you.In this episode, we cover:The American Dream: Misconceptions and RealitiesEntrepreneurial Journey: From Idea to SuccessTransitioning from CEO to LeaderThe Importance of Standards in Life and BusinessBalancing Family and BusinessNavigating Fatherhood and RelationshipsOvercoming Walk-Away Moments in MarriageThe Journey of Marriage and Personal GrowthFaith and Spirituality in Modern LifeThe Role of AI in Business and LifeBuilding Community and Leadership Among MenWhat does happy Hustlin mean to you? Ryan says be happy, be happy with the journey, be happy with the struggle, be happy with the destination, be happy with the frustration.

Few issues more urgent—or more misunderstood—than poverty in America. And even fewer solutions as bold as simply giving people cash. Jeff Atwood, the tech entrepreneur behind Stack Overflow, and his partner Betsy Burton, a trained scientist with a deep commitment to equity, are working to change that. Together, they've launched a $50 million guaranteed minimum income initiative across some of the poorest rural counties in the country—places that mirror their own family roots. In this episode, Jeff and Betsy share a story that is as personal as it is political. From the hills of West Virginia to their home in Alameda, California, they speak candidly about wealth, dignity, hope, and the American Dream. We'll explore how their own childhoods and their children have shaped their philanthropy, how storytelling is challenging tired myths about the poor, and why 2025 is the moment to rewrite the social contract in America. This is not your typical conversation about poverty—and it's not your typical couple trying to solve it. Here is Jeff Atwood and Betsy Burton on The Business of Giving.

On the latest podcast, listen to REALTORS® Crystal Blanton and Oscar Toledo recount the unusual paths they had to take to help a pair of immigrant first-time homebuyers realize the American Dream of homeownership.

Join us as we sit down with the incredible Americana rock band, American Mile! These Los Angeles-based road warriors are known for playing over 200 shows a year, and we dive deep into what the rock and roll tour lifestyle is like nowadays, with a special focus on staying healthy on the road. Ever wonder about an iconic riff like the one in "Waiting on a Sunday"? We ask the band: does a riff like that just come to you? Where does that inspiration truly come from? American Mile began with a strong rock foundation but found themselves drawn to the soul and storyteller songwriting of country music. We explore what it was about the narrative elements of country that made them fall in love with it. Their music often resonates with powerful themes of resilience and dedication, especially for those facing difficult times. We delve into their philosophy: where does this spirit of knowing life doesn't happen to you, it happens FOR you, truly come from? We also get to know Colton, the newer member of the band, and hear about his journey joining this dynamic group. From their explosive stage presence cultivated across countless venues like Summerfest and The Viper Room, to their new album "American Dream" following their acclaimed debut "The Longest Road," American Mile is a must-see act. Tune in for an engaging conversation with a band that truly lives and breathes their music! ____ Support the Show: DUNKIN': Try Jamie's favorite summer drink, the Dunkin' Pink Spritz Refresher.

In this episode of The 7th Cents Podcast, Mike Macklin and Coach R.L. Simmons get real about one of the biggest financial questions today: Is homeownership still the American Dream—or just an expensive illusion?They unpack: 

"The writer has to have patience, the perseverance to just sit there alone and grind it out. And if that's not worth doing," Leonard said, "then he doesn't want to write." Leonard wanted to write from a young age, and write he did, first producing western stories and western novels before moving toward the crime novels that made his reputation. His is the career of a working writer the likes we don't see much of anymore. About COOLER THAN COOL, Pulitzer Prize winner Dave Barry writes that "If you love Elmore Leonard-and who doesn't?-you'll love this fascinating, richly detailed account of how one of our greatest storytellers lived his life and learned his craft."Over the course of his sixty-year career, Elmore Leonard published forty-five novels that had enduring appeal to readers around the world. Revered by other writers such as Martin Amis, Margaret Atwood, Raymond Carver, and Stephen King, his books were innovative in their blending of a Hemingway-inspired noirish minimalism and masterful use of dialogue over exposition-a direct evolution spurred by his years as a screenwriter.When C. M. Kushins was fifteen he worked up his courage and wrote a fan letter to Elmore and included one of his own short stories. Elmore proofread it and wrote an encouraging letter back. Years later, Kushins finally got a short story published and Elmore sent him a congratulatory note. When he first started thinking about writing this book, Kushins went nosing around the University of South Carolina archives-and found his own letters going back to when he was fifteen. Elmore had saved all their correspondence. It was this story that helped him get the Leonard family on board with the book. Indeed, the Leonard family has fully participated, contributing original interviews, additional personal correspondence, exclusive photographs, as well as access to Leonard's unfinished final novel. The biography also includes unpublished, loose memoir excerpts. These are included here for the first time to illuminate key passages of importance throughout Leonard's life in his own words.Leonard's fiction contained many layers, and at the heart of his work were progressive themes, stemming from his years as a student of the Jesuit religious order, his personal beliefs in social justice, and his successful battle over alcoholism. He drew inspiration from greats like Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett, but the true motivation and brilliance behind his crime writing was the ongoing class struggle to achieve the American Dream-often seen through the eyes of law enforcement officers and the criminals they vowed to apprehend.COOLER THAN COOL is not just a biography for fans of Leonard's fiction. His is work was also the source material for many movies including 3:10 to Yuma, Hombre, Jackie Brown, Get Shorty, Out of Sight-as well as the TV series Justified-and influenced American filmmaking, especially the western and crime genres.Definitive and revealing, COOLER THAN COOL shows Leonard emerging as one of the last writers of the "pulp fiction" era of midcentury America, to ultimately become one of the most successful storytellers of the twentieth century, whose influence continues to have far-reaching effects on both contemporary crime fiction and American filmmaking.One more thing: 2025 also marks Elmore Leonard's centennial. In September, Mariner Books will bring a never-published novella by the author, Picket Line, with an introduction by Kushins, timed to Leonard's October birthday.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Dreaming of a life where your morning coffee comes with a side of tropical birds rather than the military in your neighborhood? You're not alone. As more Americans find themselves struggling with rising costs and political tensions at home, Latin America has emerged as the promised land of affordable living and reclaimed time.Mexico leads the charge as America's favorite escape hatch, with over 1.6 million US citizens now calling it home. With manageable residency requirements—roughly $2,800 monthly income or $45,000 in savings—Mexico offers diverse living experiences from cosmopolitan Mexico City to the beaches of Puerto Vallarta. Healthcare that costs pennies on the dollar compared to the US has many expats wondering why they waited so long, with doctor visits averaging just $30-50 and often available same-day.Costa Rica's "Pura Vida" lifestyle attracts those seeking peace, natural beauty, and a country so chill it abolished its military in 1948. While no longer the budget paradise it once was, Costa Rica offers excellent healthcare, stunning biodiversity, and welcoming communities—even for those fleeing political tensions. As one LGBTQ expat couple shared, "The first note we got back was 'Costa Rica welcomes you and your wife. You'll make great citizens.'"Colombia has undergone a stunning transformation from its narco-state reputation, now offering sophisticated urban living in Medellín (the "city of eternal spring"), colonial charm in Cartagena, and apartments starting at $400 monthly. Other enticing options include business-friendly Panama, budget-conscious Nicaragua, easiest-residency-on-earth Paraguay, progressive Uruguay, affordable Ecuador, culturally rich Argentina, and adventurous Brazil.The real challenge isn't securing visas—it's adaptation. Learning Spanish becomes essential, along with embracing a fluid concept of time where "I'll be there at 10" might mean noon, and bureaucracy follows its own mysterious logic. Most expats discover that what initially frustrates them—the slower pace, the prioritization of relationships over efficiency, the general "mañana" approach—eventually becomes what they cherish most.Featuring:Tim LeffelXanthe and DanaRichard McCollBasil Elzeki-------------------------Follow Deep Dive:BlueskyYouTube Email: deepdivewithshawn@gmail.com Music: Majestic Earth - Joystock

Are high school graduates better off picking up a welding torch instead of a college textbook? As demand grows for skilled labor, more students—and their parents—are questioning whether the traditional college-for-all model still makes sense. Is it time to stop treating college as the default path? Steve Klein, a researcher at Education Northwest, talks to The Excerpt about the benefits and biases around trade careers, the reality of financial independence without a four-year degree, and how schools can better prepare students for the future.Read more: https://tinyurl.com/492enhtk See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Philip welcomes journalist/author Megan Greenwell to discuss her book Bad Company: Private Equity and the Death of the American Dream. In their conversation, they explore how private equity has effected almost every facet of American industry and what have been the implications of the financialization of whole economies. The Drop – The segment of the show where Philip and his guest share tasty morsels of intellectual goodness and creative musings. Philip's Drop: Killers of The Dream – Lillian Smith (https://wwnorton.com/books/Killers-of-the-Dream/) Megan's Drop: There is No Place for Us – Bryan Goldstone (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/645871/there-is-no-place-for-us-by-brian-goldstone/)

Do you fear aging? Do you dread getting older? Do you think that you'll likely be sick or have a disease? Many people are living longer yet not living healthier. Today's guest is health expert, environmental pioneer, and best-selling author John Robbins. John is the author of the best-selling books “Diet For a New America,” “The Food Revolution,” and “Reclaiming Our Health.” He talks about the growing population of people who are currently over 65 years old. Globally it continues to increase. John would like our older years to be a time of celebration and not a time to fear. It is possible to become much healthier as we age. It can be a time to be stable and connected. If we feel more positive about aging, we can add many healthy years to our life. On the other hand, if we shun it, and try to protect ourselves from the aging process, we close down possibilities. In the US especially, we can feel divided and separated. Many people ultimately die of loneliness. John talks about four cultures that he has explored where people live to be healthy at 100. The older people in these cultures are not interested in fast foods. They tend to have much more community. They eat simply, with many being basically vegetarian. This diet includes nuts, seeds, vegetables, fruits, and no artificial sweets. They don't have processed sugar. They are connected to the local food and eat seasonally. Family and friends are extremely important. The communities work together. By comparing the diets and attitudes of different world cultures with the American lifestyle, John shares the truth about the health effects of the foods we eat. The only son of the founder of the Baskin-Robbins ice cream empire, John was groomed to follow in his father's footsteps but chose to walk away from Baskin-Robbins and the immense wealth it represented to “…pursue the deeper American Dream…the dream of a society at peace with its conscience because it respects and lives in harmony with all life forms. A dream of a society that is truly healthy, practicing a wise and compassionate stewardship of a balanced ecosystem.” We air this interview today to honor health pioneer John Robbins, who passed away in mid-June.  Info: www.johnrobbins.com

With inequality rising, housing out of reach, and young Americans falling further behind, some argue the American Dream is dead. But NYU professor Scott Galloway has a different take: America hasn't fallen—it's adrift. Originally recorded in late 2022, this episode features a candid conversation about what's really hollowed out the middle class: generational wealth hoarding, runaway corporate consolidation, and a political system rigged for the rich. As billionaires push for yet another round of tax cuts and working families continue to struggle, Galloway's message is more relevant than ever: America can still right the ship—but only if we change course. Scott Galloway is a clinical professor of marketing at NYU's Stern School of Business, a bestselling author, and a tech entrepreneur. He's the host of the Prof G Show and co-host of Pivot. Galloway is a leading voice on the need to rein in corporate power and rebuild the middle class. ⁠This episode originally aired December 6, 2022. ⁠ Social Media: ⁠@profgalloway.com⁠ ⁠@profgalloway⁠ Further reading:  ⁠Adrift: America in 100 Charts⁠ Website: ⁠http://pitchforkeconomics.com⁠ Instagram: ⁠@pitchforkeconomics⁠ Threads: ⁠pitchforkeconomics⁠ Bluesky: ⁠@pitchforkeconomics.bsky.social⁠ Twitter: ⁠@PitchforkEcon⁠, ⁠@NickHanauer⁠, ⁠@civicaction⁠ YouTube: ⁠@pitchforkeconomics⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠Pitchfork Economics⁠ Substack: ⁠The Pitch⁠

This week, in episode 251, we meet Dan Carmody, who has gained an unusual perspective on what it takes to build a business in the United States. Dan has started and built his own businesses. He's run community development organizations that have worked to support the growth of other local businesses. And until January, he was CEO of the Eastern Market in Detroit, which is one of the last great public markets in the country and has seen a remarkable number of businesses start, thrive, and even go national. On top of that, he's also traveled to other countries to see how they support small enterprises. His conclusion? We're doing it wrong. This may seem jarring given the story we like to tell ourselves about the American Dream, but as Dan explains, there are some things we could learn from other countries.

It's time for Team Sweasey to break down critical market statistics shaping the San Luis Obispo housing landscape. The team explores a striking trend: the average first-time homebuyer is now 38 years old, a decade older than the 28-year-old average in 1991, and that age is likely to go up with the shift in home sellers, with the average age jumping from 47 in 2005 to 63 today. Owners see the benefit of staying put with locked in low interest rates and property tax savings. With inventory tight and no significant new construction on the horizon, Team Sweasey discusses how these dynamics fuel rising prices and limited options, making it harder for buyers to enter the market. In this episode they share creative solutions, like house hacking in Paso Robles or even recycling, to get your seed money. Packed with actionable insights, the episode underscores the urgency of starting early, leveraging expert guidance with an agent, and rethinking inheritance to build wealth through real estate. It's time for Team Sweasey to take a data-driven look at why now, is the time to act in SLO County's competitive market!

I have a fantastic conversation with writer, actor, comedian, and all-around great guy Samba Schutte. Samba recently became a U.S. citizen, and this shift in his immigration status opened the door to a heartfelt and sincere discussion about ICE, immigration, and what American citizenship truly means to those who choose it.While chasing the American Dream, Samba was also pursuing the Hollywood dream—a dream shared by many who arrive with stars in their eyes but no stripes on their shoulders. Remarkably, he seems to be realizing both. On the Hollywood front, he has starred in several television series, including NBC's Sunnyside and HBO's Our Flag Means Death. His versatility has landed him roles ranging from romantic leads to memorable guest appearances in film and television.Listening to Samba's impassioned, emotional reflections in this episode, it's hard not to feel his deep gratitude, love, and respect for the American Dream. He shares a strong kinship with fellow immigrants who are striving toward that vision and offers inspiring words of encouragement. He also delivers thoughtful reminders to those born in the U.S., who may have grown distant from their sense of national pride, encouraging a renewed appreciation for the country they call home.

In this episode of Latina Investors, I'm breaking down why building wealth is an act of resistance—especially for first-gen Latinas navigating family responsibilities, cultural expectations, and systemic barriers. I share my personal story of waking up to the limits of the so-called “American Dream” and what it really takes to create financial freedom as a first-generation immigrant.You'll hear:Why wealth is about more than luxury—it's about freedom and choiceHow first gen dynamics make investing feel harder (and how to overcome that)The mindset shift that helped me stop only trading time for moneyHow investing creates options, safety, and legacyIf you're ready to stop surviving and start thriving, this episode will speak directly to your experience.

På bara några sekunder rusar fyra fotografer fram, redo med objektiven. Deras blixtrar bländar den unga kvinnan, som i skydd av sina vakter tar sig in på salongen. Kvar utanför står de ihärdiga paparazzifotograferna.Inne på salongen ber den unga kvinnan om att få sitt långa, bruna hår avrakat. Frisören säger nej, rädd att bli stämd. För kvinnan framför henne är ingen mindre än världens mest berömda och jagade personer– Britney Spears.Det blixtrar till i Britneys ögon när hon får nej. Hon är trött på att alla säger till henne vad hon ska göra. Hon har stått i rampljuset med ett leende på läpparna sedan hon var gammal nog att gå. Nu dunkar huvudet av hårt festande, en pågående skilsmässa och paparazzikamerornas eviga smatter. Britney har bestämt sig. Apparaten ligger i hennes hand. Hon sätter den mot tinningen och ler.

On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones discusses the Oklahoma City Thunder winning Game 4 of the NBA Finals and Desmond Bane being traded. Bo starts off the show by praising Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's finish to Game 4 (2:35) and why he'd rather see SGA create space for himself than fake a fall (3:26). Bo continues by saying it's the most wide open NBA Finals we've ever seen (10:04) and jokes that Lu Dort would've been in the NFL if he was born in the United States (11:36). Bo weighs in on the Memphis Grizzlies trading Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic by declaring that it is not a "blockbuster" (15:37) and that this may mean Ja Morant will be moved next (21:48). And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving Hollywood dying, difficulties of teaching middle schoolers and private equity companies buying everything (28:52). Then Bomani listens to some voicemails about the time your mom showed up to ruin something fun.

Picture this: it's late at night, the kids are asleep, and you find yourself reaching for those irresistible cookies while pondering why you never wear headphones. This episode kicks off with such mischievous moments before we dive headlong into the fascinating history of the US dollar's detachment from the gold standard in 1971, and why cash might feel a little less jingly in your pocket these days. We then tackle the sports world, light-heartedly debating whether Tom Brady's mega-net-worth warrants his frequent appearances in advertisements, and how we find ourselves throwing around terms like hat tricks, turkeys, and three-peats in everyday conversation. Switching lanes, our discussion turns to the roaring engines of luxury cars and the rugged allure of trucks like the Ford F-250. We revel in the practical versus the posh, exploring how our choices on the road reflect our lifestyles and aspirations. Music lovers will find resonance as we navigate the evolving soundscape, from Morgan Wallen's country charm to the groundbreaking rhythms of Kendrick Lamar and Tyler the Creator. Alongside, we muse over the changing musical landscape and our personal taste shifts, raising questions about whether it's the artists or we who have evolved. As the conversation broadens, we reflect on the intricacies of immigration policies, sharing personal anecdotes and insights into the challenges faced by those in pursuit of the American Dream. From the rocky terrain of geopolitical conflicts to the serene greens of a golf course, we traverse a multitude of engaging topics. And just when you think we've covered it all, we discuss home renovations, the prospect of building a golf simulator, and the legalities of home defense. Join us on this eclectic journey, where humor, history, and heartfelt stories blend seamlessly to create a podcast episode that's as diverse as it is dynamic.

This week, Victor Hwang tells us that his organization, Right to Start, has big plans for America's upcoming 250th birthday. Spurred largely by the widespread sense that the American Dream has lost some of its luster, Victor and Right to Start are launching a campaign to turn our semiquincentennial into a celebration of America's entrepreneurial roots and a push to remove the barriers that make it harder than it should be to start and build a business. One key focus: finding ways to make it easier for businesses to raise capital. You can learn more here.

Mike “C-Roc” welcomes transformational coach and entrepreneur Rudi Riekstins for a raw and inspiring conversation about identity, adversity, and reclaiming personal power. Rudi opens up about his extraordinary journey from a small, crime-ridden town in South Africa—where he grew up behind electric fences and burglar bars—to chasing the American dream, building a multi-seven-figure business, and ultimately discovering that external success can never replace inner fulfillment. Sharing harrowing personal stories, from surviving violence and betrayal to navigating toxic business dynamics and financial sacrifice, Rudi reveals how he learned to stop outsourcing his happiness and start taking radical ownership of his life. He dives deep into the emotional and psychological toll of staying in misaligned partnerships and how shifting his mindset transformed not only his relationships, but also his business and personal growth. If you've ever felt stuck, angry, or out of alignment in your work or relationships, this episode will challenge you to rethink your experiences and use them as fuel for becoming who you were meant to be.Website:https://rudiriekstins.comInstagram- https://www.instagram.com/rudiriekstins/
