David Lesch is a poster child for something. I'm just not sure what. On the one hand, given his personal reinvention from Los Angeles Dodgers first-round draft pick to official biographer of Bashar al Assad, some might consider him proof that the American Dream still exists. But others, including even himself , would argue that his incredible pivot from baseball protege to Harvard-educated Middle Eastern expert, reflects the privilege of his social class and perhaps even gender. In any event, the Lesch story is pretty amazing - which is why the San Antonio-based biographer Catherine Nixon Cooke has just published Dodgers to Damascus, the story of his journey from star pitcher to star diplomat. So it was intriguing to not only host Cooke but also David Lesch to discuss his highly unusual journey from the youthful potential of baseball to the grim reality of Bashar al Assad's Syria. 1. Privilege complicates the reinvention narrative Lesch's transformation from baseball to diplomacy required significant advantages - supportive family, financial stability, and access to elite education. His story demonstrates both genuine resilience and the reality that dramatic career pivots often depend on existing social capital.2. Failure as preparation has limits While Lesch credits baseball's culture of failure with preparing him for diplomacy, this framework works better in retrospect. The "fetishization of failure" narrative is easier to embrace after achieving success than during actual setbacks.3. American Middle East policy remains deeply flawed Despite Lesch's generous B-grade assessment based on narrow objectives (oil access, Israeli security, Soviet containment), the broader record suggests more fundamental failures in understanding regional complexities and long-term consequences.4. Assad's evolution illustrates power's corrupting force Lesch's insider perspective on Bashar al-Assad's transformation from potential reformer to authoritarian ruler provides a case study in how institutional constraints and personal ambition can override initial intentions.5. Listening skills transfer across domains The interview emphasizes how Lesch's approach to conflict resolution - particularly deep listening and cultural understanding - represents transferable expertise that America needs more of, regardless of political administration.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Rising costs for essentials like housing, healthcare, and insurance are pushing families into a financial hamster wheel, while only high earners see modest gains. Without real wage growth and relief from soaring prices, the gap between the cost of living and the average paycheck keeps widening—making the American dream feel increasingly out of reach.

A new poll shows that the majority of U.S. residents—75%—don't believe in the so-called American Dream: that if you work hard in the United States, you can succeed at having an economically secure life.

Michael Smerconish delivers a commentary from the Philadelphia suburbs discussing the gap between life perception and reality, particularly in the context of college education and the American Dream. He explores the realities most American college students face, emphasizing that a majority do not experience the 'traditional' four-year residential college experience. Smerconish connects this theme to political divides, noting how educational backgrounds correlate with political affiliations. Smerconish incorporates views from professionals like economist Neil Mahoney and politicians like Doug Sosnick, highlighting economic concerns and shifts in voter demographics. The narrative also brings in perspectives on America's strengths and optimism as expressed by figures like Jim Van Dehi and Tim Warrens, advocating that the American Dream, while challenged, is still alive. The script transitions into a conversation on modern childhood, discussing 'helicopter parenting' and advocating for greater childhood independence via insights from Lenore Skenazy, who promotes the 'Free Range Kids' movement. Finally, the segment touches on the poll question of whether the American Dream still holds true, revealing a more optimistic view from Smerconish's audience compared to a national survey.

We're already short 5 to 6 million homes, and without major changes, that gap could balloon to 15 million within a decade. In this episode, we'll trace how the Great Recession and decades of restrictive zoning set the stage for today's crisis, explain why local politics keep killing affordable housing projects, and show how lot sizes, setback rules, and “neighborhood character” arguments drive up costs. Finally, we'll explore why state-level reform may be the only path forward if the American Dream is to remain within reach. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu! In today's special Q&A deep dive, Tom and co-host Drew respond directly to your hottest takes and burning questions inspired by their recent viral video, “The Things That Happened Right Before Collapse.” Together, they tackle wide-ranging topics—exploring America's mounting debt crisis, inflation, the struggle of average people to get ahead, and the growing wealth gap that's fueling frustration across the country. Tom delivers his famously unfiltered perspective on why the U.S. economy is in far deeper trouble than many people realize, challenging conventional wisdom about reserve currencies, military might, and the government's ability to ‘soft default' through inflation. He breaks down how these forces squeeze the middle class and details the predictable historical cycles—referencing everything from the fall of past empires to today's socioeconomic malaise. The conversation also dives into passionate debates from the comment section, from capitalism versus socialism to debt forgiveness, and practical advice for protecting yourself in uncertain times. Tom and Drew address critics head-on, unpack common misconceptions about asset ownership, and even discuss the emotional side of wealth and purpose.

Every entrepreneur dreams of the big exit, yet for many, the American Dream can quickly turn into the American Nightmare.Within five years, Alex Bean went from startup founder to selling Divvy for $2.5 billion to Bill.com—making enough money to never work another day in his life.But instead of fulfillment, he was blindsided by loneliness, loss of identity, strained relationships, and new family challenges money couldn't fix. He realized what many successful entrepreneurs eventually face: wealth can be a blessing or a curse, depending on how you handle it.Out of this season came Alex's mission-driven venture, Factory for Good—a company designed to help entrepreneurs and families use money as a force for good, protect their most important relationships, and build lasting wealth that doesn't destroy the next generation.In this episode, you'll learn: 1.) Why financial freedom without purpose often leads to loneliness, loss of identity, and broken relationships—and how to avoid it.2.) The Factory for Good framework for turning money, time, and energy into a legacy of impact rather than destruction.3.) Practical strategies Alex uses with his own family—like the “Happiness Audit,” the “Bank of Mom & Dad,” and relationship frameworks—that will change the way you think about wealth, parenting, and purpose.Show Notes: LifestyleInvestor.com/254Tax Strategy MasterclassIf you're interested in learning more about Tax Strategy and how YOU can apply 28 of the best, most effective strategies right away, check out our BRAND NEW Tax Strategy Masterclass: www.lifestyleinvestor.com/taxStrategy Session For a limited time, my team is hosting free, personalized consultation calls to learn more about your goals and determine which of our courses or masterminds will get you to the next level.

A Wall Street Journal poll says nearly 70% of Americans think hard work no longer pays off to achieve the American Dream. Greg and Holly take listener calls and texts to discuss how Americans feel disenfranchised by stagnating wages and rising living costs… and what has to give for Americans to find faith in the US economy.  

In this very special episode, Dhruv welcomes back Prakhar Patidar (previously appeared on the "All We Imagine as Light" ep!) to discuss the Taiwanese New Wave of the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s because, well, they both love its particularly sad, introspective, and -- yes, that dreaded word -- SLOW -- depiction of loneliness that engulfs every fabric of one's being as they stumble around a city so intent on looking upwards (to urbanization and Americanization) that it ends up looking down upon those who don't want to be swept up by all of it.Please listen to the full episode to hear us talk -- in full spoilers -- about Edward Yang's "Taipei Story," Tsai Ming-liang's "Vive L'Amour," & Hou Hsiao-hsien's "Millennium Mambo" -- and how the depiction of contemporary Taipei -- and people's alienation within it -- changes (or not) from the 80s to the 2000s.Or, you can listen to it for Prakhar's forceful manifesto about the need & value of Slow Cinema (Viewing) in the Current Media (Viewing) Landscape.TIMECODESApologizing for our Pronunciations - [00:00 – 07:20]The Origins of the Taiwanese New Wave - [07:20 – 31:05]Summarizing TNW [for the Impatient Ones] - [31:05 – 42:23]"Taipei Story" (1985) - [42:23 – 01:10:45]“Vive L'Amour” (1994) - [01:10:45 – 01:35:56]“Millennium Mambo” (2001) - [01:35:56 – 01:52:22]Outro (Planning a Lynne Ramsay Ep!) - [01:52:22 – 01:58:17]Do hit 'Follow' on Spotify if you haven't already to help the podcast reach more people!Follow our Instagram page: ⁠https://instagram.com/queenisdead.filmpodcast⁠ARTICLES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE 1. “Man, Muse & Their Movies: Tsai Ming-liang & Lee Kang-sheng in the 90s” (Prakhar Patidar). 2. “What Do You Mean America is Not the Answer?: Asian Modernity & the American Dream in Edward Yang's Taipei Story” (Prakhar Patidar). 3. “A Guide to the Masterworks of New Taiwanese Wave” (James Balmont). 4. “Taiwanese New Waves in New York” (David Hudson).PODCASTS/VIDEOS MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE1.

The Prism of America's Education with Host Karen Schoen – Fed Chairman Jerome Powell wants us to be unemployed and unable to buy into the American Dream. Instead of looking in the mirror and blaming himself for high inflation, he blames the struggling American worker. “American wages are too high,” he moans. We need cheap labor to bring prices down. Illegals will work for less, since illegals get most of their...

EPISODE 103 - “ELEANOR PARKER: CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH” - 9/01/25 This week, we celebrate our Star of the Month: the extraordinary ELEANOR PARKER. Known as “the woman of a thousand faces,” Parker built a remarkable career defined by range, subtlety, and strength. From her Oscar-nominated turn as a wrongly imprisoned woman in Caged, to her quietly powerful presence as the Baroness in The Sound of Music, she consistently defied typecasting and brought nuance to every role. But behind the glamour was a private, fiercely independent woman whose legacy has too often been overlooked in Hollywood history. Join us as we dive deep into the life, career, and enduring mystique of Eleanor Parker—a star who truly deserves to be remembered.

With socialist policies coming from progressives and conservatives, it's clear America's political class — left and right — has lost its economic compass.Headlines tell the story: student loan forgiveness, tariffs, income redistribution, protectionist trade. Each is a form of central planning that shifts decisions from people in markets to lawmakers and regulators in government. No wonder the economy feels stuck — with $37 trillion in national debt, a bloated Federal Reserve balance sheet, and growing doubts about the American Dream.What we need is a practical, principled defense of free markets — and the courage to push leaders to embrace it, even when it's politically inconvenient. You can catch the full episode on YouTube, Apple Podcast, or Spotify.Visit: VanceGinn.comSubscribe: VanceGinn.Substack.com

When opportunity knocks, sometimes it comes in the most unexpected ways—like someone breaking into your home to steal a salad dressing. That's the unlikely spark that launched Gregory Vetter's entrepreneurial journey, one that would forever change the way Americans think about clean eating. On this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, Gregory shares his remarkable story: how he turned his mother's homemade salad dressing into Tessemae's, the nation's #1 organic refrigerated salad dressing brand. His story is more than a business tale—it's a lesson in resilience, innovation, and redefining the American Dream. From a Missing Salad Dressing to a National Brand Gregory's journey began in the humblest way. A friend—who didn't even like salad—confessed to stealing Gregory's mother's homemade dressing. That was the “aha” moment. If the product was so irresistible it could inspire theft, perhaps it was good enough to sell. Armed only with conviction and cold-calling skills, Gregory approached local grocery stores. With no packaging, no brand, and no experience, he brought samples in Tupperware. The response was immediate: “This is the best salad dressing I've ever had.” That first yes opened the door to a 15-year journey that saw Tessemae's become a pioneer in the clean food movement—introducing gum-free dressing, Whole30-approved products, and a national reputation for innovation. Scaling Dreams and Facing Hard Truths But entrepreneurship is rarely a straight line. As Gregory candidly shares, success brought challenges: supply chain crises, investor pressures, and hostile takeover attempts. What began as a family dream turned into a battle of lawyers, negotiations, and financial strain. Eventually, the company was handed to private equity for pennies on the dollar. For many, this might have felt like a nightmare ending. But Gregory reframed it: “Leadership comes down to leading by example and leaving things better than you found them.” Redefining the American Dream That reframing became the core of Gregory's bestselling book, Undressed: The Unfiltered Story of My Failed American Dream and How It Led to Success. In it, he unpacks the lessons of failure—how losing what you built can actually unlock clarity, resilience, and a more grounded understanding of success. Today, Gregory leads Homegrown Brand Accelerator, helping emerging entrepreneurs avoid the pitfalls he faced. From produce businesses with zero food waste to launching Mexico's largest avocado oil brand in the U.S., his playbook is now a blueprint for others. Building Businesses with Purpose Gregory's work now emphasizes something far beyond profits: purpose. His ventures align with values like sustainability, clean food, and personal well-being. He also hosts retreats designed to help leaders find their most “optimal state”—balancing time, health, family, and purpose. He reminds us that money can't buy four essential things: your time, your soul, your health, and your children's love. For him, these are the real pillars of success. Lessons for Entrepreneurs and Leaders Gregory's story is full of takeaways for anyone navigating entrepreneurship or leadership: Ignorance can be fuel. Sometimes not knowing the rules lets you break them creatively. Conviction matters. Believing in your idea—before anyone else does—is often the hardest step. Protect your dream. Be cautious with investors; alignment of values is as important as funding. Failure is a teacher. Reframing setbacks can lead to stronger, wiser ventures. Purpose outlasts profit. Businesses built on doing good create lasting impact. As Gregory puts it, quoting JFK: “The ancient Greek definition of happiness was the full use of your powers along lines of excellence.” When work aligns with purpose, excellence follows. Listen In or Watch on Youtube. This conversation is for anyone who's ever wondered how to turn an idea into reality, or how to rebuild after dreams don't go as planned. Gregory's story is proof that even when things don't end the way you imagined, they can still lead to something greater.  Discover how you can turn your observations into innovations—just like Gregory Vetter.

The promise of the American Dream—work hard, play by the rules, and you'll get ahead—is unraveling before our eyes. In this Back-to-Basics episode, Christian H. Cooper and law professor Khiara Bridges join Nick and Goldy to posit whether economic mobility has ever truly existed, or if the system was rigged from the start. As wages stagnate, homeownership drifts out of reach, and inequality worsens, their conversation exposes how the American Dream has always been selectively granted and systematically denied. Amid today's debates over “competitiveness” and “opportunity,” this episode is a reminder: the American Dream didn't disappear by accident—it's been taken. Understanding how is the first step toward winning it back. Christian Cooper is a derivatives trader, quantitative finance author, and commentator based in New York City. He directs Banking for a New Beginning, a collaboration between the Aspen Institute and the U.S. Department of State that connects central banks in emerging markets—such as Turkey, Tunisia, and Pakistan—with best practices to strengthen their financial systems Khiara M. Bridges is an anthropologist and professor of law at UC Berkeley School of Law, specializing in race, class, reproductive rights, and constitutional law.

Part 1 was just the beginning. In this powerful conclusion, Mark Matson gives you the definitive guide to not only building wealth but securing a life of purpose, meaning, and legacy.

Eric, Jeff, Styles, Sheek, Jadakiss and Money L got together in Yonkers to breakdown Running Scared, the 2006 neo-noir action thriller film starring Paul Walker, Cameron Bright, Vera Farmiga, and Chazz Palminteri. In our most-explosive episode to date, we debated the writing, acting and overall merit of the movie, as well as hilariously discussed what to order at a diner on a late-night mission, who the most gangster character is, how much therapy the ten-year old main character would need, whether the story was an allegory for the American Dream and so much more!! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In Part 2 of our electrifying conversation with Hasan Piker, Tom and Hasan move from the theoretical to the practical—zeroing in on public policy, the mechanics of innovation, and the often-contentious debate over what works, what doesn't, and why. As they continue their deep dive, the discussion shifts to unionization, globalization, and the realities of economic mobility in America. The pair examine the legacy of government intervention, compare the merits of public vs. private sector innovation, and weigh historical examples from the United States, China, and Europe. At the heart of this half lies a contentious discussion about national debt, inflation, and global financial confidence—juxtaposed with the DSA's (Democratic Socialists of America) current priorities, such as foreign policy, Medicare for All, and labor empowerment. Hasan offers his vision for a more just America, where wealth is abundant but more equitably shared, while Tom challenges the feasibility and consequences of such models. Whether it's healthcare, infrastructure, or rent control, this part is packed with hard-hitting perspectives, sharp disagreements, and the mutual drive to find real-world solutions to America's most urgent problems.

In this special episode of American Potential, guest host Daniel Garza sits down with Congresswoman Monica De La Cruz during LIBRE's Fly-In event to discuss the shifting political landscape among Hispanic Americans, especially in South Texas. As the first Hispanic female Republican to serve a full term from her district, Congresswoman De La Cruz shares her inspiring personal journey from humble beginnings to public service. She addresses critical topics such as the rejection of socialism within Latino communities, the importance of faith, family, and freedom, and the economic progress driven by pro-growth policies like the 2017 tax cuts and the One Big Beautiful Bill. The conversation also highlights her legislative efforts on immigration reform, border security, and agricultural support, including her work on the Braseto 2.0 program to protect immigrant workers and farmers' livelihoods. They explore how grassroots activism is energizing Latino voters and reshaping traditionally Democratic strongholds. This episode offers an insightful look into the principles and policies that Congresswoman De La Cruz champions to secure the American Dream for hardworking Latino families and communities nationwide. Tune in for a compelling dialogue about opportunity, civic engagement, and the future of Hispanic political participation.
