In the next installment of the Big Ideas for Smaller Government series, host David From welcomes back Jeremiah Mosteller, Policy Director at Americans for Prosperity, to discuss how Congress can take bold action to rein in runaway federal agencies, eliminate wasteful spending, and make key regulatory reforms permanent. Jeremiah breaks down why popular executive orders from the previous administration—like those promoting transparency and accountability—won't last unless Congress acts. He explains how legislation such as the Guidance Out of Darkness Act, the REINS Act, and the Reorganizing Government Act can prevent bureaucratic overreach, slash unnecessary regulations, and save taxpayers billions. This episode pulls back the curtain on how hidden guidance documents function as backdoor regulation and how bloated rulemaking fuels agency growth. From shrinking budgets to restoring constitutional authority, Jeremiah outlines what's needed to protect the gains of recent reforms—and why time is running out. If you care about limiting government, cutting waste, and preserving individual liberty, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

3 big ideas discussed in this episode: BIG IDEA #1: You need to define what success means to you specifically. Stop chasing everyone else's dreams and start creating your own.

Everyone says they're so busy but are you busy doing things that really matter?

How leaders can choose to be vulnerable while still leading teams.

Patrick Cronin of University of Limerick spin-out Oscil, was presented with the Big Ideas Award at Enterprise Ireland's Start-Up Day 2025 in the Aviva Stadium. Oscil was one of six investor-ready potential spin-outs that had three minutes to pitch their new technology solutions to a 600 strong audience made up of representatives from the Irish Start-up ecosystem including VCs and other funders, State support agencies & professional and financial services. The award was presented to Patrick Cronin, for the outstanding pitch of the day. Oscil which is an Enterprise Ireland commercialisation funded project approaching spin-out, is an innovative deep tech technology operating at the intersection of Edge-AI and powder processing, initially targeting the pharmaceutical and dairy sectors. They haves developed a proprietary, ATEX-compliant sensor and edge-AI solution that enables real-time, in-line analysis of powder flow - addressing critical issues like sensor fouling, yield loss, and process downtime. As part of the Big Ideas award, Oscil will travel to the US to participate in UC Berkeley's Venture Connectivity Program. Tara Dalton of University of Limerick spin-out TANGO received the Big Ideas runner-up award on the day. Start-Up Day 2025 hosted the 'Class of 2024' High Potential Start-Up companies that Enterprise Ireland invested in during 2024.

3 big ideas discussed in this episode: BIG IDEA #1: The Trust Recession: Why Traditional Selling is Failing:Trust in business relationships is at an all-time low, making traditional sales tactics ineffective—buyers are more skeptical and resistant to sales pressure. To thrive, businesses must shift from transactional selling to trust-based relationships, where prospects feel safe and understood from the very first interaction. BIG IDEA #2: The "One Call Sale": Collapsing the Sales Cycle Through Trust: The outdated multi-step sales cycle wastes time and resources—deep trust can be built in a single conversation, leading to faster commitments. Shifting from a "selling" mindset to a "doctor" mindset—focusing on diagnosing problems rather than pitching solutions—creates instant credibility and engagement. BIG IDEA #3: Stop Chasing Prospects – Build Authentic Connections that Convert: Instead of chasing leads, create an environment where prospects openly share their challenges, naturally leading to deeper connections. Trust-based questioning uncovers hidden pain points, making potential clients feel understood and ready to move forward without sales pressure.

In this episode of American Potential, host David From continues the Big Ideas for Smaller Government series with AFP Policy Director Jeremiah Mosteller to explore a staggering opportunity for reform: a unified verification system for all federal welfare and assistance programs. By streamlining the maze of 80 uncoordinated programs—many run by the USDA—American taxpayers could save over $554 billion, nearly doubling the running total of identified savings in the series to over $1 trillion. The conversation sheds light on how the U.S. Department of Agriculture has quietly ballooned into an agency funding not only nutrition and farming but also jails and international climate hubs—spending $20 million to teach fertilizer use in countries like Brazil and Pakistan. Jeremiah shares domestic and international models—like Project Unity in Texas and Estonia's revolutionary e-verification system—that prove how centralized systems can improve services, protect privacy, and eliminate waste. This episode shows how smart policy, not slashed benefits, can lead to massive savings and stronger outcomes for those in need. It's a roadmap for Congress—and a challenge to rethink how government assistance is delivered.

Luke 22:31-34, 54-62, & John 21:1-17 In today’s episode, we follow one of Jesus’ closest friends—Peter. From the quiet upper room, to the dark courtyard, and finally to breakfast on the beach, we’ll hear how Peter made a big promise to Jesus… and then broke it. But the story doesn’t end there. After Jesus rises from the dead, He lovingly gives Peter a second chance. This is a beautiful story of sadness, forgiveness, and hope—a reminder that Jesus never gives up on us, even when we mess up. Big Ideas for Little Hearts: Jesus knows we’ll make mistakes, but He still loves us deeply. Peter denied Jesus three times, but Jesus forgave him and gave him a new job. Seeing the risen Jesus changed Peter from afraid to brave! No matter how far we run, Jesus welcomes us back and gives us a fresh start. ******Check out Andrew Kerhoulas' music with Brother K and Hearth Hymns*** -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To join the team supporting this podcast and also enjoy weekly bonus content PLUS access to the entire library of bonus content go here and click bonus content.

Whether you're new or seasoned in astrology, this episode provides practical insights for everyone looking to align with the stars on their journey to success.Key TakeawaysForward Motion ReturnsThe constricting pressure from the Mars-Pluto alignment is finally easing, lifting the heaviness of recent weeks. With all planets moving direct at the start of the week, there's a noticeable shift toward progress and forward momentum.Soft Yet Powerful Planetary EnergyDespite the direct motion, Neptune and Venus in Aries bring a unique blend of boldness and softness. This combination encourages you to manifest energy that matches your style—whether bold and sassy or soft and sweet, offering flexibility in approaching both goals and personal connections.Healing and Relationship FocusThe week's energy supports healing—not just physically, but also emotionally in relationships. If conflicts or “dust-ups” arise, see them as opportunities to heal and grow, taking time to find solid footing before moving ahead.Notable Quotes“Today we're talking about big ideas; that pressurized power from that threaded needle between Mars and Pluto is finally going away.”“There's healing here… So when we say healing, we think, ‘Oh yay, I'm going to be laying on a massage table,'… But it's also like, ‘Oh crap, I had a little dust up with somebody and now I've got to go deal with it.'

You're Listening to Parallax Views https://parallaxviews.podbean.com/ Support the Show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/parallaxviews On this edition of Parallax Views with J.G. Michael, we explore the powerful financial forces behind Washington D.C.'s most influential think tanks—and how those funding streams may shape U.S. foreign policy and defense strategy. Joining us are Ben Freeman and Nick Cleveland-Stout of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft to discuss their eye-opening project: the Think Tank Funding Tracker (TTFT). The TTFT is designed to bring much-needed transparency and accountability to the world of policy influence, exposing the financial ties between think tanks and their funders. Specifically, we look at three major sources of funding: U.S. government funding, led by the Department of Defense Foreign government contributions, including major donors like Saudi Arabia and Qatar Defense contractor money, with Northrop Grumman leading the charge Think tanks play a vital role in shaping public policy through research, analysis, and recommendations. But as Ben and Nick explain, financial backing can create conflicts of interest and biases that may influence the narratives and policy prescriptions these institutions offer. Some think tanks rank high in transparency—others, particularly those with more hawkish foreign policy stances, score a troubling zero. We also address the issue of “dark money” think tanks, declining public trust, and how the TTFT includes concrete policy recommendations to encourage better disclosure practices. The conversation highlights the need for vigilance in understanding who is funding the experts shaping public debate and decision-making. One key case study we explore is the Atlantic Council, a major D.C. think tank whose funding sources exemplify the complex web of influence at play in the policy space. If you're interested in U.S. foreign policy, military-industrial complex dynamics, Middle East geopolitics, or political influence in Washington, this is a must-listen episode that breaks down the often unseen forces shaping global affairs.

How do you determine if your idea is truly worth pursuing? In this week's episode, we dive into a practical framework that breaks down the evaluation process into four critical components: the pain point, the market size, the defensibility of your product, and how you plan to monetize and scale.Whether you're just brainstorming or already building, these criteria will help you gut-check your concept and avoid wasting time on ideas that aren't big - or painful - enough. We also discuss market sizing (TAM/SAM/SOM), moats, and why competitive advantage isn't always what it seems. This is a must-listen for any founder looking to go from “cool idea” to real business.Links:Interplay: Website, LinkedIn, TwitterBook: The Fundraising RulesMPD: LinkedIn, TwitterChapter Markers:00:00 – Intro: Why Idea Validation Is So Hard02:00 – The Real Question: Do You Have a Big Idea?03:00 – The 4-Part Framework for Validating an Idea03:45 – Step 1: Pain Point – Is This a Must-Have?06:00 – Step 2: Market Size – TAM, SAM, SOM Explained09:40 – Step 3: Product – Is It Defensible?12:10 – Step 4: Monetization – Can It Scale?15:10 – Final Thoughts: Gut-Check Your Idea16:30 – Outro: Still Learning After Decades in the Game

Laura Delano spent fourteen years under psychiatric care, working with a variety of diagnosed mental illnesses and trying every drug and therapy that promised to “fix” her. But eventually she started wondering what if the problem wasn't in her brain, but in the system itself?

The federal government has spent nearly $3 billion on electric vehicle infrastructure. So far? Only 214 individual chargers have been built across the entire country. In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Jeremiah Mosteller, Policy Director at Americans for Prosperity, to unpack how taxpayer dollars are being funneled into inefficient, top-down government programs that promise a cleaner future—but deliver very little. They take a hard look at two major Department of Transportation programs that were supposed to make EV charging more accessible nationwide. Instead, Mosteller reveals how the money has been doled out in lump sums to states, who then hand it over to private companies—regardless of whether there's actual demand for chargers. In one case, chargers are popping up in areas where no one even drives electric vehicles, including rural towns in North Carolina. Meanwhile, billions continue to be allocated without meaningful results or oversight. The episode also dives into other examples of government overreach and inefficiency—from a $2 million grant to train students how to fly drones, to fuel economy regulations that will raise car costs for working Americans. And in perhaps the most jaw-dropping revelation, the Department of Transportation still processes federal retirements on paper—stored in filing cabinets inside a limestone mine in Pennsylvania. This is part of the “Big Ideas for Smaller Government” series, where David and Jeremiah are working toward a bold goal: identifying $2 trillion in federal spending cuts. If you believe innovation comes from the ground up—not from Washington D.C.—and that government should be accountable for how it spends your money, this episode will give you plenty to think about.
