They were both Georgetown University graduates who had quit their well-paying Washington, DC, jobs to pursue a bike trip around the world, looking for a different kind of American Dream. Pieced together from Jay and Lauren's Simply Cycling travel blog and social media posts, interviews with their friends and family, and media coverage of their murder, author William Elliott Hazelgrove creates a complete, narrative retelling of Jay and Lauren's story. Evil on the Roof of the World combines biking and travel adventure with true crime elements, sensitively presenting the trajectory of Jay and Lauren's hopeful beginnings; the difficulties and meaningful experiences they found on their journey; the foreshadowing leading up to the attack; and the way they, their loved ones, the media, and the perpetrators made sense of this violent encounter. William will join us to share the story of a couple who went off the grid to find the great adventure of life only to have it end in tragedy.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tonight's Triple Feature—Showgirls, Striptease, Hustlers—tracks 30 years of America wrestling with sex, money, and power. Showgirls (1995) is Verhoeven's neon nuclear satire, the American Dream as a Vegas buzzsaw. Striptease (1996) shifts to Florida grime, looking and feeling like Road House with a pole—sweaty bars, corrupt politics, and Demi Moore surviving a world rigged against single moms. By 2019, Hustlers flips the script: Ramona and her crew turn the strip club into a recession-era hustle, treating sex work as labor and revenge on Wall Street. Different decades, different aesthetics, same spine: women navigating systems built by men and reshaped by money.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Bradley talks to Oliver Libby — venture investor, civic reform advocate, and co-founder of The Resolution Project — about his new book Strong Floor, No Ceiling: Building a New Foundation for the American Dream. They dig into Libby's “radical moderation” framework: the idea that America can rebuild its civic culture by pairing a rock-solid baseline of opportunity and support with an unapologetic embrace of ambition, innovation, and upward mobility. If we get to write our own future, says the self-described sci-fi nerd, it ought be pretty easy to choose between a dystopia where giant companies quietly set the rules and a society like Star Trek, where "people don't really talk about money and everyone has enough and people get to do really cool stuff."This episode was taped at P&T Knitwear at 180 Orchard Street — New York City's only free podcast recording studio.Send us an email with your thoughts on today's episode: info@firewall.media.Be sure to watch Bradley's new TED Talk on Mobile Voting at https://go.ted.com/bradleytusk.Subscribe to Bradley's weekly newsletter and follow Bradley on Linkedin + Substack + YouTube.

Gen Z is screaming that the American Dream is de@d — and the numbers look brutal: only ~10% of 30-year-olds today own a home AND are married compared to over 50% in the 1960s. BlackRock & private equity are buying up houses with cash, 50-year mortgages are being floated, and the rage at “greedy boomers” is everywhere. But is it really the boomers' fault? Is corporate home-buying the real villain? Should we ban corporations from owning single-family homes? Deport illegals to free up housing? Or is the hard truth that Gen Z needs to hear something totally different? Then the conversation gets even spicier: Matt Walsh says “America ONLY,” not just America First — no more money to Israel, Ukraine, or anyone else. Is that real nationalism… or an isolationist trap that only benefits China and Russia? Monique, Krista and Kevin go deep (with receipts) on:

"NO LIMITS: FROM THE PROJECTS TO THE PEAK OF POWER" Follow us on all our social platforms @GrantCardone In this powerhouse episode of The Cardone Zone, Grant brings you two extraordinary stories of ascent from nothing to the top of the business world—real-life proof that your beginnings don't determine your finish line. First, Grant sits down with a real-estate force who went from $600 in his pocket to managing a $4 BILLION development pipeline. He breaks down the mindset shift that took him from pumping gas and cleaning dental offices to building Angel's Landing, one of the boldest developments in downtown Los Angeles. His message is clear: Cash flow beats net worth. Money should work harder than you do. Action destroys excuses. His journey—from a childhood shaped by the struggles of the segregation era to sitting at the table with Senators, bankers, and decision-makers by age 26—proves that the American Dream belongs to anyone willing to hustle, learn, and never quit. Then Grant welcomes Lloyd Blankfein, former CEO of Goldman Sachs, a man who helped generate over half a trillion dollars in revenue during his run. But instead of a privileged Wall Street origin story, Lloyd reveals the truth: He grew up in Brooklyn public housing, hustling from age 13—selling popcorn at Yankee Stadium, delivering prescriptions, tutoring for $1.50 an hour—all fueled by one thing: escaping poverty. His parents worked blue-collar jobs, and the motivation of "no choice but to succeed" pushed him from a tough NYC school to Harvard on a scholarship, and eventually to the top of global finance. Lloyd shares what it was like sitting across from titans like Bezos, Musk, and the world's most powerful financial players—proving that ambition, discipline, and refusing to stay stuck can take you from the projects to the pinnacle of power. This episode is pure jet fuel for anyone ready to stop making excuses and start making moves.

Is the American Dream still Made in America? A renewed surge of interest in U.S. manufacturing has revealed a huge challenge. There are hundreds of thousands of vacant positions and a labor force that lacks the necessary skills to fill them. While many label it a crisis, Carolyn Lee, president of The Manufacturing Institute sees an opportunity. In this episode Carolyn sits down with guest host David Etzwiler to share an upbeat, down‑to‑earth vision of a manufacturing sector that could fuel growth and generate huge new opportunities. At the core of her mission is one thing: to remake the way talent is trained and primed for careers in industrial manufacturing. Carolyn shares some of the Manufacturing Institute's groundbreaking initiatives built to upskill today's employees while igniting the interest of the workers of tomorrow. Through this conversation, you will discover a range of groundbreaking strategies that are reshaping the manufacturing workforce. Carolyn also examines how emerging technologies such as AI and automation, rather than posing threats, will actually create more jobs. This episode is about the future of manufacturing, the future of work, and how the American Dream will be reshaped in the coming years. Whether you're a business leader, a policymaker, an educator or simply someone with a stake in our economy's future, this an episode you won't want to miss.

In today's episode, I'm joined by Colin Allen, executive director of the American Property Owners Alliance, for a conversation that moves effortlessly from campaign classrooms in Charlottesville to the frontline debates shaping housing policy today.Colin shares stories from his early days at UVA with Larry Sabato, the lessons that still guide his approach to politics and persuasion, and his time inside the U.S. Senate, where he learned how the institution really works — and sometimes doesn't.We also talk about his years at the National Association of Realtors, the evolving housing landscape, and why affordability has become one of the defining economic and political challenges of our time. Colin walks through how regional differences shape the narrative, how local leaders can meet voters where they are, and why events outside Washington often tell us more than the ones inside the Beltway.It's a smart and grounded conversation with someone who has lived the DC experience from multiple vantage points — and who's now leading a national effort to give property owners a stronger voice.

This week, Jason, Don and Matt sit down with a giant of the liberty movement, the founder of the Brownstone Institute, Jeffrey Tucker. Jeffrey kicks things off by discussing his relationship with our previous guest, Stefan Molyneux, which leads into a candid conversation about his own intellectual shift over the last decade. He explains how he moved from the black-and-white world of pure anarchism to a more nuanced perspective on complex issues like immigration. This candor sets the stage for a raw discussion on the profound cognitive dissonance in modern politics. We explore how the Trump administration is openly selling out its base with tariffs and new stimulus checks, creating a massive divide within the MAGA movement. Jeffrey offers his take on the psychology of what causes people to continue supporting a system that is so openly exploiting them, and we examine Trump's cozy relationship with the very technocrats he claims to fight, like Peter Thiel. This theme of co-option pivots the conversation to the financial endgame: the hijacking of Bitcoin. We break down the news of the first-ever central bank—the Czech National Bank—purchasing Bitcoin alongside US dollar-backed stablecoins. This isn't adoption; it's the establishment hijacking the "Bitcoin" brand to legitimize their real goal: a world of regulated stablecoins and total financial surveillance. We connect this directly to BlackRock's plan for the "tokenization of everything" and their mission to buy the world. We also touch on the internal crypto civil wars, discussing Roger Ver and why he's a target of the Bitcoin maximalists. It's a wide-ranging conversation on the nature of statist co-option, but we end on a powerful white pill, as Jeffrey reminds us that the solution to this high-tech tyranny is a classic one.

The simple apple - it is in our lunches, on our teacher's desk, and occasionally made into a delicious alcoholic drink called Cider. Did you know that the apple and the drink made from its fruit is hiding one of the greatest stories ever told? On today's episode we tell the tale of how America was founded and built using Cider. The incredible origins of the apple, how cider pushed us westward and kept us together as a nation, and how it tore us apart. We also try to find the long lost apples the founding fathers grew hundreds of years ago. Join Jason Wise & author Ben Watson as we tell the story of Cider and the American Dream.

Recent polls suggest younger Americans are less inclined to believe in the so-called American Dream and the benefits of capitalism. But why? Especially when so many non-Americans still do? Could it be social media has skewed what the American Dream really is? Or is there truly a generational difference in the appeal of economic systems like socialism, communism and capitalism? Finally, what is the likelihood greater governmental involvement in the economy will produce the results some politicians have been promising? In this week's Trading Perspectives, Sam Clement and John Norris walk a proverbial tightrope while discussing what the recent election results really mean.

Immigration is dominating headlines—but not just for political reasons. Today, Nicole breaks down the economic side of immigration, and the Trump administration's strategy to monetize the American dream. From the new $100,000 fee for skilled foreign worker visas to the ultra-elite “Trump Gold Card” offering U.S. residency for $1 million, Nicole unpacks the numbers behind the policies.

Tara dives deep into the urgent issues affecting American workers, housing, and national security. From the ICE operations and illegal immigration surges to H-1B visa abuse and corporate exploitation, she examines how both legal and illegal immigration are impacting wages, employment, and the American Dream. Tara also scrutinizes Trump's policy decisions, including visa fees and enforcement measures, while exposing media manipulation like the BBC's misleading edits of Trump speeches. She connects the dots between immigration, housing shortages, and workforce displacement, offering insight into the consequences for Americans today and in the future.
Tara breaks down the latest ICE operation in Florida, highlighting the dangers posed by criminal illegal immigrants and the challenges posed by activist judges releasing them. She then connects immigration policy to the skyrocketing U.S. housing crisis, showing how the influx of millions of legal and illegal immigrants has created a shortage of homes and driven up rent, pushing young Americans out of the market. Tara also examines proposed “solutions” like portable and 50-year mortgages and H-1B visa misuse, arguing that current policies dilute American jobs and threaten generational wealth. This episode is a deep dive into law, policy, and the economics of immigration, exposing how mismanagement affects safety, affordability, and the future of the American dream.

The Empire State Building took 110 days to build—today, changing a window would take two years. Alex Rampell (a16z) and Varun Krishna (Rocket CEO) expose how asset inflation turned housing from the American Dream into a wealth transfer machine where the median homebuyer age jumped from 30 to 38 in just fourteen years. While Silicon Valley burns billions on products people use daily but never pay for, Rocket quietly assembled a $10 billion profit engine and is now buying up the entire housing funnel—from Redfin's 50 million monthly searchers to one in six US mortgages—betting they can crack the code everyone else gave up on: turning a once-in-a-lifetime transaction into an everyday relationship.

A new survey from U.S. Bank found that many Americans are making smart choices with their money, but many feel progress is elusive because the goals people care about (buying a home, retiring comfortably, building wealth), depend on economic forces beyond their control. Today, Nicole helps you learn the research-backed strategies to improve confidence and work towards your financial goals. To help unpack these strategies, Nicole is joined by U.S. Bank's Scott Ford, Head of Wealth Management at U.S. Bank, and Kate Phelan, California Regional Director of Strategic Wealth Planning and Advice. They cover how to prepare for buying a home, what to prioritize at different life stages, how to approach retirement in a world where it's getting longer and less predictable, and what small money wins you can start today to build real momentum. They also talk about how to prepare for disaster, and Nicole opens up about rebuilding her life and studio after losing her home in the LA fires. Whether you're rebuilding from life's curveballs or just trying to get your financial footing, this episode is packed with real-world advice and heart.
