Named by President Obama as a Presidential Ambassador of Global Entrepreneurship, he is the founder of Humanity Forward, Venture for America, and the Forward Party. Yang's New York Times bestselling book The War on Normal People helped introduce the idea of universal basic income into the political mainstream. Andrew shares how through practice, he learned to embody particular rules of power to make effective changes in the world. In this episode, you will learn about: The non-profits he started to improve the operation of America's electoral system A brief overview of his career and entrepreneurial background Why he was an accidental presidential candidate What the Forward Party stands for How his background as an Asian American inhibited him from embracing specific rules of power The importance of building a personal brand with a strong social media presence Learning new behaviors to promote himself, which in turn benefits his causes Why apologizing is not always the right thing to do How he re-framed networking to become something enjoyable and rewarding The idea of acting and speaking with power The romantic motivation he had to put himself into the public sphere The athleticism of public speaking Coaching and practice to become stronger, better, and more comfortable Taking the world as it is and maximizing your ability to do good things within it GUEST BIO: Andrew Yang is an entrepreneur, author, philanthropist, non-profit leader, and former 2020 presidential candidate. After working as a lawyer and executive at several early-stage technology companies, Andrew eventually became CEO of an education company that became #1 in the country. He then started a national entrepreneurship non-profit, Venture for America, which worked to empower thousands of young entrepreneurs to bring their dynamism to communities across the country, from New Orleans and Baltimore to Denver and Detroit. Andrew was named a Presidential Ambassador of Entrepreneurship by the White House under the Obama administration and a Champion of Change for his work with Venture for America. Initially dubbed a "longer than long shot" candidate by the New York Times in 2018, Andrew became a top-tier contender for the presidency, raising nearly $40 million in grassroots funding. With a vision to rewrite the rules of the United States economy through a “Freedom Dividend” of $1,000 a month for every American adult, Andrew became one of the most exciting stories in the 2020 race. Andrew's nationwide support, known as the “Yang Gang,” propelled him to seven Democratic primary debates, outlasting six senators, four governors, three members of Congress, two mayors, and one secretary. Following this unexpected run for president, Andrew formed the non-profit Humanity Forward, successfully lobbying Congress for direct cash relief for struggling American families during the pandemic while simultaneously distributing over $8 million directly to struggling families. From his presidential and New York mayoral runs, Andrew has seen first-hand what's preventing our country from getting things done, and he is now directing his energies towards fixing the machinery of our stagnant democracy. With Forward - Notes on the Future of Our Democracy, Andrew lays out the case for a variety of democracy reform measures that can unclog the pipes of our system and realign the incentives of legislators with the wellbeing of the American people.   Produced by The MunnAvenuePress.com

Today we have entrepreneur, activist, and philanthropist, Andrew Yang, who gained mainstream recognition with his Freedom Dividend approach during his 2020 presidential campaign. He is an author of 3 books including "Forward: Notes on the Future of our Democracy". He will now be “bringing the voice of web3 to Washington DC” with Lobby3, a DAO built for like-minded thought leaders, innovators and Web3 enthusiasts to help advance the positive impact of blockchain technology and eradicate poverty through real world use cases. https://www.forwardparty.com/ https://www.lobby3.io/

Who Is Andrew Yang? Andrew Yang is a businessman, lawyer and philanthropist whose entrepreneurial endeavors led him to found the nonprofit Ventures for America (VFA), which connects young professionals to innovative companies in economically challenged cities. In late 2017, Yang announced his run for the presidency under the slogan "Make America Think Harder" (MATH) along with his defining policy proposal of Universal Basic Income (UBI), which is a supplemental income offered to American adults to prepare them for the economic challenges incurred by artificial intelligence and automation. Prior to suspending his presidential campaign in February 2020, Yang built a strong digital coalition and attracted a base of loyal supporters called the Yang Gang. Andrew would implement the Freedom Dividend, a universal basic income of $1,000/month, $12,000 a year, for every American adult over the age of 18. This is independent of one's work status or any other factor. This would enable all Americans to pay their bills, educate themselves, start businesses, be more creative, stay healthy, relocate for work, spend time with their children, take care of loved ones, and have a real stake in the future.

Have you ever asked yourself the big question, " How Can I End Poverty?" Well, 18 year old change maker from England, Lauren Roberts-Turner,  has indeed asked herself this question; she now researches and studies ways that we can lift people out of poverty while creating an economically empowered society.  I met Lauren in April when we spoke  at a conference called the 'Footsteps Aspire for Equality Global Gathering of Women'.  I literally was mind blown by the intelligent and articulate way she described an economic program, Universal Basic Income and how this can alleviate poverty and increase financial independence. I am thrilled to have her on the show today to learn more about UBI! To Read the Transcript and Other Links for this Episode:Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/whyfimatters)

Waarom moet elke Nederlander een basisinkomen krijgen? Andrew Yang maakte het basisinkomen, of zoals het noemde het Freedom Dividend, populair onder Republikeinen en Democraten. Nu is Koen Bruning, geïnspireerd door een ontmoeting met Yang, het vrijheidsdividend in Nederland aan het populariseren. Zijn voorstel is om elk Nederlander een onvoorwaardelijk bedrag van 1000 euro per uit te keren. Volgens Koen en veel onderzoek zou het basisinkomen kunnen zorgen voor betere social cohesie, een herwaardering van het maatschappelijk middenveld en het uit balans geraakte machtsevenwicht tussen burger, markt en politiek herstellen. Ik spreek met Koen over zijn nieuwe boek Samen Rijk waarin hij schetst hoe de afgelopen decennia het marktdenken de overhand heeft gekregen en de burger en de politiek ten dienste van die markt zijn gekomen. Het basisinkomen zou dat moeten rechttrekken en de ontstane problematiek kunnen verbeteren. ************ Als jij geniet van de gesprekken van Vocast kun je ons helpen onafhankelijk te blijven met een donatie van slechts €2 per maand.

We discuss the concept of investment into American industry by the American taxpayer. Why aren't WE getting a dividend? Thomas Jefferson called it a Freedom Dividend before the Founding Fathers put the kibosh on the idea. Well, we're the stockholder!

This is “ReSolve’s Riffs” – live on YouTube every Friday afternoon to debate the most relevant investment topics of the day. Our guest this week was none other than Meb Faber (co-counder and CIO of Cambria Investment Management), a well-known quant and prominent member of the FinTwit community. In addition to being an asset manager, he is an entrepreneur and venture capitalist, not to mention host of a popular podcast – and therefore an entertainer at heart. We enjoyed a wide ranging conversation including topics such as: The ‘mental gymnastics’ of contemplating ideas that are likely being ignored by most investors Crowded vs contrarian trades Preference falsification in polling, the role of inertia and the endowment effect North America’s impossibly complicated retirement systems vs Australia’s superannuation Financial education, incentives, and the enormous room for policy improvements We also discussed the importance of properly framing conversations, especially in the realm of policymaking (Universal Basic Income vs Freedom Dividend), some of Meb’s recent venture capital investments and a whitepaper that’s coming down the pipe. Thank you for watching and listening. See you next week.

A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin:   In 2013 I spoke with Andrew Yang who was the CEO of Venture for America at the time. He was at his office and multi-tasking during our interview, so when you listen to the interview, you’ll hear some background noise and typing. At the time he talked about being invited to the White House amongst several things.   Who would have predicted that a few years later that he would be running as a Democrat for the 2020 U.S. President election?   Many now know him as the Presidential candidate who proposed something called the “Freedom Dividend.” With the 2020 U.S. Presidential election results unfolding, and Joe Biden recently declared President-elect, some say that there may place for Andrew in the Biden administration. I thought it would be a good time to share this interview that I did with Andrew.     Here’s a little preview of what we talked about in this podcast episode:   Andrew’s involvement with the Entrepreneur Challenge and Competition and connection with the Taiwanese American Professionals What is Venture for America? What it was like for Andrew to be invited to the White House and speak to President Barack Obama about Venture for America? How Venture for America was modeled after Teach for America What cities Venture for America was in (at the time of the interview) and where they were planning to expand to What types of startups Venture for America works with How long is the bootcamp that Venture for America fellows are required to go through and what are they taught How many fellows there were in Venture for America (at the time of the interview) What are some of the things that the fellows have done/accomplished How Jeff Weiner the CEO of LinkedIn has agreed to join Venture for America’s investment council The highlights of being involved with Venture for America for Andrew What’s the most challenging thing about running an organization like Venture for America What motivates Andrew with Venture for America Who are some of Andrew’s role models in the nonprofit space What’s the difference between a struggling and successful entrepreneur What advice Andrew has for someone wanting to start a community-based organization What Andrew’s future plans are for Venture for America Andrew’s book Smart People Should Build Things Andrew’s thoughts on Taiwan and the entrepreneurship of the Taiwanese people   Related Links:   Venture for America: www.ventureforamerica.org   Teach for America: https://www.teachforamerica.org/   Charity Water: https://www.charitywater.org/   Donors Choose: https://www.donorschoose.org/   Angela Lee Duckworkth’s TED talk about Grit: https://www.ted.com/talks/angela_lee_duckworth_grit_the_power_of_passion_and_perseverance?utm_campaign=tedspread&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=tedcomshare     Smart People Should Build Things by Andrew Yang: https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B00DB3D7EY&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_BVrSFb10ZBV39   Andrew Yang’s campaign website for the 2020 U.S. Presidential election: https://www.yang2020.com/   Taiwanese American Professionals- New York (TAP-NY): https://tap-ny.org/

What if we could lower COVID-19 rates all over the world with one program? It’s not a medical innovation, but an economic one. If all the world’s countries distribute a temporary basic income, could we slow the spread of the coronavirus? The idea was recently floated by United Nations Development Program, and it’s. In its report, UNDP says many people are too poor to shelter in place even when they are sick.  Staying home can be a choice between hunger and exposure to the coronavirus...and the consequences of their decisions affect us all. UNDP Administrator Achim Steiner makes the case for a temporary basic income that would enable nearly three billion of the world’s poorest people to stay home. The idea is built upon the concept of a Universal Basic Income (UBI), something economists have studied and debated for decades. Tech entrepreneurs like Andrew Yang are only making it more popular, something economists have studied for decades. Tech entrepreneur Andrew Yang ran for president on a promise of a $1,000 per month UBI for every American adult. He called it the Freedom Dividend. On this episode, we explore a Basic Income project in Kenya.   Guest:  Tavneet Suri, MIT Sloan School of Management & Editor in Chief of VoxDev @SuriTavneet   If you appreciate this episode and want to support the work we do, please consider making a donation to World Affairs.

Andrew Yang is a serial entrepreneur, author, and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate. In 2011, he founded the non-profit Venture for America, with the mission “to create economic opportunity in American cities by mobilizing the next generation of entrepreneurs and equipping them with the skills and resources they need to create jobs.” Andrew who began his career as a corporate attorney also wrote the books Smart People Should Build Things and The War on Normal People. In the latter, he detailed the massive employment crisis that’s already underway and how the shift can affect tens of millions of Americans. He also laid out what he believes is a roadmap to a better future and it starts with the Freedom Dividend, a Universal Basic Income of $1000 a month for every American adult aged 18 to 64. Because of his extensive work and contribution, Yang was named as a Champion of Change by the Obama White House in 2012. In 2015, the Obama White House again acknowledged him as a Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship (PAGE) alongside Steve Case, Tory Burch, Daymond John, and many others. This week’s episode talks about what Universal Basic Income is and how it actually affects people, how the policy can encourage innovation among young people, and how Universal Basic Income broadens the definition of work. Andrew also shares how VAT tax brings in money to the American government, what a political revolution is and why it’s actually feasible, and the reason he’s running for president. For people who are skeptical about the value Universal Basic Income offers, Andrew has this to say, “This is very pro-work. That’s the biggest thing that people get wrong.” #yanggang Get complete show notes on mattwilson.co.

Universal Basic Income. If you’ve not come across the term before, you’re likely to hear a lot more about it in the future. It’s an economic policy that’s gathering support across a wide part of the political spectrum, as a solution to a variety of challenges. And now shadow chancellor John McDonnell appears to be backing it too, urging the Labour party to formalise this support in their election manifesto.

After Andrew Yang's platform started to pick up momentum, there are some people who have brought up criticisms. Below I will be answering common misconceptions and questions about UBI First Does UBI cause Inflation ? No, increasing the amount of money in the economy can cause inflation. In 2008, the USA was risking inflation when they increased the money supply through printing 4 trillion dollars and pumping in the economy ( through tresury buy backs). The Two biggest ways the Freedom Dividend is funding its 2.8 trillion dollar cost is a) the Vat Tax and b) opting in from Social Welfare programs Any other money the government has to spend to fund UBI would not cause  enough inflation to offset the $12k a year you are getting from the freedom dividend Second Will UBI increase rent ? No, a) many cities have rent have rent control b) only Monopoly's where one person/company owns the whole market would have the power raise rent. This is because land lords operate in an open market, residents would simply pick the cheapest place to live leaving the overpriced apartments vacant c) UBI may also decrease rent because people wouldn't have to move to expensive cities, because UBI would make a more "humble" hometown job more viable Third Will People waste their money? No, Lower income people who live pay check to pay check to handle all their bills spend a higher portion of there income on necessities compared to rich people. Yes they may buy additional cigarettes but most of their money will go straight back into the economy spurring more economic growth Fourth Will People Stop Working? No, Welfare programs desensitize work because once you make a certain amount of money, you no longer qualify. Lower income earners will be more likely to want to get a job and receive UBI because there income will drastically increase. Quick Channel Summary Hey I'm @Flystewie

Recently we reached out to our audience asking for questions on basic income. This episode takes on three big ones: will rent and other costs increase, eating up the benefits of the UBI? How could a basic income fit into a national budget with other competing priorities such as single-payer healthcare and free community college? How might we forge a path to a national basic income?

The Issue Is...Andrew Yang, Ben Lyons, Ramona Shelburne, Arash Markazi  Andrew Yang is a long shot presidential candidate that's turned into a sort of political phenomenon. His rallies are filled with foul language, chants about math, crowd surfing, and pyrotechnics. His agenda is ambitious and unique. He wants to give every American $1,000 a month--regardless of their income. He calls it the "Freedom Dividend."We talk to him about that, his California strategy, climate change, and more. Then, a special sports themed panel on "The Issue Is:"With us: Ben Lyons, Ramona Shelburne, and Arash Markazi.

The race for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination has a long way to go, but it already has at least one winner. That’s Andrew Yang, and it’s not because he will end up as his party’s candidate. Yang, an affable 44-year-old who eschews neckties and traditional rhetoric, trails front-running candidates Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders by a wide margin. But he has demonstrated sufficient appeal to outpace governors, senators, and House members to grab and hold his place on Democratic debate stages. A former lawyer who became wealthy as an entrepreneur, Yang entered the race without familiar presidential credentials. He had spent recent years boosting business start-ups through Venture for America, a non-profit he founded. Yang has built his campaign around what he calls The Freedom Dividend – a $1,000 per month “universal basic income” intended to cushion the impact of technological advances that have begun to supplant large swaths of the American workforce. Americans of every income level would receive it, with the enormous cost financed by a value-added tax under which the bottom 94% of earners would come out ahead. Over bubble tea in Manhattan, Yang sits down with Editor-at-Large John Harwood to discuss his campaign.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this week's episode Kristina talks about why Democratic Party purity testing is going to get Donald Trump reelected, and why you should take a good look at Andrew Yang as a serious contender for the Democratic nomination.Andrew Yang is a lawyer, entrepreneur, and now candidate for president. His campaign is centered around his flagship policy The Freedom Dividend. In short, Andrew wants to give every American Adult $1,000 a month. No strings attached. Andrew sees America is moving in the wrong direction, and wants to correct course through many progressive policies. Unlike Biden, Biden, or Warren, Andrew is not a career politician. He tells it like it is, without trying to dumb down the message. He backs up all his strategies with facts, and his favorite thing, math. He doesn't bother with gotchya one liners, or sugarcoating reality. He knows we as Americans are tired of the disingenuous nature of career politicians. He supports mitigating climate change, health care for all, affordable higher education, criminal justice reform, and on top of all that.. wants to put an end to daylight savings time!

Robert Stayton proposes an outside-the-box idea for how to provide both ample clean energy and a basic income on the local, state or national level: solar dividends. This proposal would leverage the abundance of available solar energy with the regulatory ability to increase the price at which solar energy is purchased into the grid.

As basic income gains more recognition and interest, new proposals and ideas for what a basic income should look like are starting to emerge. While these proposals are occasionally studied on a one-off basis, the basic income conversation didn't necessarily have a single hub where one could evaluate policies side by side. The UBI Center, founded by Max Ghenis, seeks to change that by providing economic breakdowns of leading basic income proposals. Max joined the podcast to discuss his work, what motivates it, and his evaluation of Andrew Yang's Freedom Dividend.

Dan Evans interviews entrepreneur and 2020 Democratic Presidential candidate Andrew Yang. The two discuss evidence-based policymaking, Andrew's platform that is centered on the "Freedom Dividend", and the intertwined nature of climate change policy and economic reform. Thank you dan for a great interview. To check out the extended version please visit https://youtu.be/dW44y0ewpuU Official Website: https://www.yang2020.com/ Twitter @AndrewYang https://twitter.com/AndrewYang I’m Andrew Yang, and I’m running for President as a Democrat in 2020 because I fear for the future of our country. New technologies – robots, software, artificial intelligence – have already destroyed more than 4 million US jobs, and in the next 5-10 years, they will eliminate millions more. A third of all American workers are at risk of permanent unemployment. And this time, the jobs will not come back. I’m not a career politician—I’m an entrepreneur who understands the economy. It’s clear to me, and to many of the nation’s best job creators, that we need to make an unprecedented change, and we need to make it now. But the establishment isn’t willing to take the necessary bold steps. As president, my first priority will be to implement the Freedom Dividend, a universal basic income (UBI) for every American adult over the age of 18: $1,000 a month, no strings attached, paid for by a new tax on the companies benefiting most from automation. The Freedom Dividend is just the beginning. A crisis is underway—we have to work together to stop it, or risk losing the heart of our country. The stakes have never been higher. Once I understood the magnitude of this problem, and that even our most forward-thinking politicians were not going to take the steps necessary to stem the tide, I had no choice but to act. I’m the father of two young boys. I know the country my sons will grow up in is going to be very different than the one I grew up in, and I want to look back at my life knowing I did everything in my power to create the kind of future our children deserve—an America of opportunity, freedom, equality, and abundance. I urge you to join me. No one else is going to build a better world for us. We’re going to have to do it ourselves. Together. Humanity First,
Andrew

In this podcast I make the case that there's no policy being proposed by any 2020 Presidential candidate that's as progressive as Andrew Yang's Freedom Dividend.

This is a brief description on Andrew Yang's Freedom Dividend and insight on the whole Dividend and some other policies i love and some i hate.

Democrats have had their first primary debates of the election cycle, and it's definitely a crowded field at this point, but one candidate in particular has caught our attention: Silicon Valley entrepreneur and former corporate attorney Andrew Yang. Over the past few months, Yang has rose to prominence promoting a Universal Basic Income plan that he calls the "Freedom Dividend", which guarantees every American a monthly stipend of $1000. But what are the drawbacks of this plan, and how does it compare to the vastly superior Green New Deal put forward recently by Senator Edward Markey and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? Will it help workers gain back control of their economy and their workplaces, or is it a simple bait-and-switch tactic? In this episode, we compare and contrast the Green New Deal and the so-called "Freedom Dividend", provide some analysis on how these plans might look on a local level, and present both strategies within the concept of a socialist economy, framing the argument as a battle between the needs of labor vs. the whims of capital. The Lowcountry is on the front lines of both climate change and a shifting economy in favor of predatory capitalists. Understanding how these two very different approaches tackle these issues is critical. For further critical analysis on Andrew Yang and the "Freedom Dividend" 1.

Read the full article: https://www.goodmorningliberty.us/post/andrew-yang-s-freedom-dividend-is-not-a-win-for-liberty   In the recent Democratic debate we were able to hear presidential candidate Andrew Yang's plan for a "Freedom Dividend," or otherwise known as "Universal Basic Income(UBI)." This is not a new idea. In fact, even one of my favorite economists, Milton Friedman, was in support of a UBI as a replacement for the current welfare system.   Yang's proposal would give a direct payment of $1,000 per month to every American above the age of 18. Rich, poor, white, black- it doesn't matter. Everyone above the age of 18 will receive this "Freedom Dividend."   The US Government currently spends $668 billion per year on welfare programs. Remember, "welfare" is just one portion of the social safety net. That number also does not take into account what state's spend on welfare; another portion of the equation that is likely to change under a UBI system.   The most recent count on the amount of adults in the US above the age of 18, has the number at 247 million. A $1,000 payment to each of them would cost 247 billion per month. That's 2.9 trillion per year to fund the "Freedom Dividend," without the administrative overhead costs.   Andrew Yang's UBI is proposed to be covered by a Value-Added Tax (VAT) of 10%. A VAT would be paid by business owners in the production phases of their products. Currently, the US does not have a VAT system in place. To re-phrase the VAT- A tax will be put on business at production, to be given to the people for consumption of their products. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/goodmorningliberty/support

Imagine if everyone got a check each month from the government for $1,000.  We break down the topic of Universal Basic Income (UBI).  We look at the history, the morality, the rationale, the assumptions, the funding sources, the politics and the objectives of the initiative.  How does Universal Basic Income play a role in the discussions of minimum wage, living wage, poverty and incentives to work? Of course, we can’t discuss Universal Basic Income without discussing the candidacy of Andrew Yang.  UBI is his signature issue and he justifies it based on the evolution of artificial intelligence, automation and robotics on the economy.  But where does this money come from?  Are Yang’s assumptions legitimate?  Could his policy have good intentions but ultimately be immoral? We get into a few more topics including family history research.  I also discuss one of my personal objectives to #BeBraver and what that means to me and this podcast.

In this round, Mike and Kurt debate Universal Basic Income! We zoom in on Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang's "Freedom Dividend," a proposal to give each adult American $1,000 each and every month, no strings attached. The goal is to counteract the jobs displaced by the rise of AI and automation in key American industries - but will this program break the bank? Is there really a big enough problem to take this drastic an action? And might the Freedom Dividend hurt the most marginalized people in the country? Join us as we drink rosé-infused beer and debate these questions and more on this week's Right Brain Left Brain!

This week, we’re excited to share a conversation with 2020 Democratic Presidential Candidate and Venture for America founder, Andrew Yang. Andrew is not your typical politician. In fact, he’s a serial entrepreneur, more known for starting and leading companies than waging political battles. He’s also running on a bold policy platform that proposes universal basic income. Last but certainly not least, he’s Asian American which will make him the first Asian American to ever run for President of the United States as a Democrat. Being the first Asian American President is not Andrew’s motivation for running. But his run is opening a dialogue about the the future of humanity and the role Asian Americans should play in civic life, politics, and broader society. In this episode, we talk to Andrew about: His upbringing,
 His brief stint as a corporate lawyer which then led him into a career of entrepreneurship, 
 His thoughts on Asian American civic involvement, 
 Why he’s running for president, and ultimately Why we all need to wake up to the economic realities of our time.
 Andrew will also serve up a brief primer on his campaign platform.

In his book The War on Normal People, he explains the mounting crisis of the automation of labor and makes the case for the Freedom Dividend, a Universal Basic Income of $1,000 a month for every American as well as other policies to progress to the next stage of capitalism. Andrew was named a Presidential Ambassador of Entrepreneurship by the White House under the Obama administration and a Champion of Change for his work with Venture for America. He lives in New York City with his wife and two sons. --- Thanks to Lucy Huang for mixing and editing this episode.

Joe Rogan had presidential candidate Andrew Yang on his podcast last month, February of 2019 to discuss Yang's Universal Basic Income, or as he refers to it, “Freedom Dividend” centered platform. My initial reaction to just seeing this episode pop up in my feed, was....FINALLY... there's so much needless confusion over what UBI is, how it would be implemented or funded, what the purpose of it is, what the consequences have been in places it's been tried, why it's needed, etc. and Yang did a remarkable job answering all of these questions and more in just 2 hours. The main area of concern, and what seems like perhaps Yang's reasoning for why we ended up with Donald Trump, is because the artificial intelligence and automation revolutions already started, jobs in the manufacturing industry are scarce, and it's coming for truck drivers, service workers, journalists and more. This episode is intended to keep the conversation going, elaborating on an openness to looking at life and at our potential as a species, in a new way. Work and money does not equal meaning or value. We have the knowledge and technology to empower every individual to make positive changes for the first time ever in history. And it's a true perspective changer when you realize what's possible.

Andrew Yang is a serial entrepreneur, author, and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate. In 2011, he founded the non-profit Venture for America, with the mission “to create economic opportunity in American cities by mobilizing the next generation of entrepreneurs and equipping them with the skills and resources they need to create jobs.” Andrew who began his career as a corporate attorney also wrote the books Smart People Should Build Things and The War on Normal People. In the latter, he detailed the massive employment crisis that’s already underway and how the shift can affect tens of millions of Americans. He also laid out what he believes is a roadmap to a better future and it starts with the Freedom Dividend, a Universal Basic Income of $1000 a month for every American adult aged 18 to 64. Because of his extensive work and contribution, Yang was named as a Champion of Change by the Obama White House in 2012. In 2015, the Obama White House again acknowledged him as a Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship (PAGE) alongside Steve Case, Tony Burch, Daymond John, and many others.   This week’s episode talks about what Universal Basic Income is and how it actually affects people, how the policy can encourage innovation among young people, and how Universal Basic Income broadens the definition of work. Andrew also shares how VAT tax brings in money to the American government, what a political revolution is and why it’s actually feasible, and the reason he’s running for president. For people who are skeptical about the value Universal Basic Income offers, Andrew has this to say, “This is very pro-work. That’s the biggest thing that people get wrong.”

Computers, A.I. and automation are in the process of making a lot of jobs obsolete. 2020 Presidential candidate Andrew Yang is running on a platform of Universal Basic Income (UBI) or Freedom Dividend. UBI would provide every person in the United States a monthly cash payment, kind of like the U.S. paying everyone a dividend for the success of the technology industry and for being a member of the United States of America Club. Yang says the numbers work and that the benefits to society - and the economy - greatly outweigh the price tag.

Andrew Yang is running for president of the United States in 2020 as a democrat. His core message centers around the idea of universal basic income (UBI) which would provide every U.S. adult citizen with $1,000 per month. Andrew has served as the CEO, cofounder, or executive for several technology and education companies and was one of the first candidates to announce his bid for the White House. In the interview, Andrew details the urgent need for UBI and promotes his plan, which he calls the Freedom Dividend, as a way to help offset the forthcoming negative effects caused by automation and artificial intelligence. His recent book, The War on Normal People, acts as a wake up call to radically rewrite our social contract and reimagine our economic future. He is a fascinating person with bold ideas. This episode is worth a listen. Enjoy!

On this episode of Unconventional Genius, I talk with Andrew Yang about The Freedom Dividend and the future of America. Andrew is an entrepreneur, author, and founder of Venture for America, a national entrepreneurship fellowship that has helped create over 3,000 jobs in major cities across the United States. He is also running for president in 2020, with a key component of his platform being the creation of a universal basic income. During our conversation, Andrew shares his vision for the future and I ask questions submitted by the Unconventional Genius community through Facebook. How the freedom dividend could help people Andrew explains that his plan for providing a universal basic income, known as The Freedom Dividend, was born out of the inability of the U.S. job market to keep up with technology. He says that robots are taking jobs from people at an alarming rate and our ability to adapt hasn’t kept pace. Rather than demotivating people to work, Andrew argues that The Freedom Dividend will provide a jumpstart to those working underpaying jobs. He also says it will give people the opportunity to save more. He believes that this solution is a more viable option than trying to retrain workers. Getting to know Andrew Yang through your questions During this episode, I do something I’ve never done before. I let you ask the questions. Listeners submitted questions for Andrew on Facebook. He tackles these challenging questions and shares his platform and ideologies. Many of the questions submitted dealt with Andrew’s policy and platform. He is running as a Democrat with very different views and policies than the current administration. He says, “Our goal is to try to get (Trump) out of office as fast as possible while we still have a functional government.” Andrew Yang’s proposed Presidential platform and policies Andrew Yang is running for President because he believes he can unite the country and bring about positive change. He argues that he isn’t a lifetime politician, but rather an entrepreneur who understands business and the economy. During our conversation, Andrew shares how he plans to fund The Freedom Dividend. One concern is that taxes might increase. How do you pay for everyone to get $1,000 a month? Listen to this episode to find out how he intends to pay for a universal basic income. The plan to help people adapt to the future Andrew proposes a radical shift in both mindset and action that he feels is critical for the country to move forward. His approach is formed from the belief that job creation will not outpace the massive impending job loss due to automation. Andrew discusses the ways he would address the nation’s challenges during this interview. Can Andrew change the mindset of people quickly enough to adapt to the times? Andrew says, “That is the challenge. Things are changing very quickly. We have to rise to that challenge. If we fail in that, then we will witness the disintegration of our country.” If you are with a consumer technology company planning to launch a new product at CES or are even looking ahead to CES 2019, the Max Borges Agency can help you succeed.

Are we ready for change? Are we prepared to do what it takes to make the American dream come alive again? It would take some drastic reforms to get those much-needed results. Something's got to give, and this administration has to go. Today's guest is Andrew Yang. He's Asian-American, a 2020 Presidential Candidate, a serial entrepreneur, and a man who actually understands people, numbers, and technology. In other words, the complete opposite of Trump. Laurie and Andrew talk about progressive platforms that will spark the change we need to get us back into shape. Andrew agrees that work is broken. The times are changing and we need to transform how we think about work to get any real benefit from it. We're going through the greatest economic and technological transition in human history. The problem, now, is that our government doesn't understand this shift. They are stuck working with obsolete concepts that will eventually break the economy - and not in a good way. When change isn't happening, you've got to make change happen yourself. Capitalism has worked effectively for corporations but often crushes human welfare. Capitalism prioritizes efficiency and profits over everything else. How do we fix this? Andrew proposes a new form of capitalism that gets the market to work for us and not against us. He calls it "Human Capitalism," which focuses on maximizing human well-being and fulfillment. Andrew further explains the tenets of human-centered capitalism. Laurie and Andrew talk about the "Freedom Dividend." A proposed policy wherein every American adult gets $1,000 per month - no questions asked. Andrew believes that if we were to remove the existential threat of poverty, people could focus on finding jobs that better fit their skill sets. The Freedom Dividend is actually an old idea, but a similar policy has been effective in Alaska for almost four decades. Andrew talks about the value of revisiting this idea and how it will benefit US citizens. How do we get Value Added Tax into the dividend equation without people worrying about the deficits? Andrew shares how the present mismanagement must not lead us to believe that we lack the resources to progress. Our economy is on a record high, so the fear is based on the current mess the government is in. By using VAT funds to invest in our citizens, several other issues will start toppling down. Laurie and Andrew talk about the problems in the work environment. If our economy is doing so well, why can't we do justice to make our citizens' quality of life better? We're not living in the dark ages, and yet, most of the same issues are present. Seriously, how can the world's richest country be so anti-women, anti-family, and anti-poor? It's time we take into consideration what's good for the people versus what makes the most money for companies. After all, since this country's greatest asset is its people, it should be a no-brainer to invest in making their lives more meaningful.

This week, Tijo 'Arcane Bear' joins us on the roundtable from Costa Rica! If you are already part of the bear family then you already know who he is, but he is a super rad guy who gives great advice on mind, body, spirit, and of course...crypto! Then we jump into our special interview for the episode, Mr. Andrew Yang, Democratic candidate for President of the United States in 2020. He is running on a platform of the Freedom Dividend, a Universal Basic Income of $1,000 a month to every American adult age 18-64. He believes this is necessary because technology will soon automate away millions of American jobs - and yes, indeed, this has already begun. Oh, and he accepts crypto donations for his campaign. That is one savvy guy!

Do you see a future where that is possible and how do you stop that? 35:20 – Have you read Sovereign Individual? 35:32 – In Sovereign Individual there is an idea that as wealth disparity grows, eventually the elite will separate themselves from the rest of the population. Do you see any concern for that? 38:54 – Will we see countries trying to attract citizens to move and will VAT be a factor in that? 39:59 – How bad would it have to be before more people left? What’s the threshold? 41:24 – Do you think that Trump getting elected is helpful to someone who’s not a career politician, helping them get elected in 2020? 45:40 – Has communicating a very statistics and quantitative approach been a struggle for you when speaking to audiences? So much of politics is about the emotional appearance. How have you adapted to that? 54:09 – Extra Question that we didn’t get to ask - Would adoption of a VAT accelerate a crypto economy and how does that change the estimates of how we would pay for UBI? Show Topics 1:11 – The main objections to UBI are : How can we afford it? Will it turn people into less happy, lazy wastrels? Won’t it cause mass inflation? 1:44 – Universal Basic Income is affordable but we’ve poorly managed budgets in the past and there is stigma around hoarding money. We need to believe in sense of abundance and possibility. Culture and mental barriers and block around hoarding money. 3:28 – Cost of UBI in the US would cost $2 Trillion. It would be $1000 per month given to each person, we call it the Freedom Dividend. It would cause economy growth due to increased taxes and spending. 4:27 – Benefits of UBI. We would get more out than we put in. It reduces health issues, crime and has many secondary benefits to putting the money into the hands of the people. 05:57 – How the money would be spent. The wealthy vs the majority. VAT taking from those who spend the most and given to the bottom 80%. Money sitting in bank accounts causes a stagnant economy. 07:27 – Basic Income as both appealing Liberals and Conservatives. Most people seem to think it is impossible, shows decline of society and lack of faith in democracy. 10:21 – Video games and the growth of the eSports economy. Parents as an early form of UBI for large groups of young people. Will additional income cause people to withdraw into games more or will it allow them to participate in real life more? 11:03 – Lack of appealing opportunities for men in the real world. The digital world as the cheapest form of entertainment, more money equals more options and less time spent in the digital world. 12:05 – Games used as a sense of accomplishment and emotional highs, which can wear off over time. UBI will give opportunities at a time when people are looking for something new. 13:24 – Social credits as a socially constructive gamification of the real world. Gaming impulse transferred into the real world and other outlets. Current philanthropic trials are small by comparison and Government could apply resources. 20:02 – Yang’s plans as president. Government currently too risk averse. Electing a president with UBI as a main objective would be a huge step towards it. Congress people would have to listen to their constituents. 24:08 – Nothing is as effective as cash to people when talking about control of programs. People losing faith in government programs. Basic jobs as a bad idea, no long term value in unproductive work as more jobs get automated. Unproductive jobs lead to unhappy people. Instead find out what work is inside of each person. The idea of Basic jobs doesn’t value people. Valuing people as stakeholders and not serves. 30:10 – People heading towards reliance on the government. UBI as better way, gives people a higher-level of integrity and self-determination. Any government change to UBI would cause riots and is still a powerful check on the government. Doing nothing will lead to bloodshed and revolution. Antitrust laws and harm to consumers. 32:38 – Defining human success independent of economic or monetary measures. Wealth getting concentrated in ever smaller pools is bad for all businesses. Riots in America looking more likely, how can we prevent that instead of waiting. 37:54 – Enlightened self-interest and lifting others up. Renouncing citizenship for tax reasons. Ad campaigns trying to encourage economic migration. VAT not a powerful factor. 40:17 – Lack of entrepreneurial migrants. Electing Andrew Yang would be a compelling message to immigrants. The opposite of Donald Trump is an Asian guy that likes facts and figures. Clear message through recent politics, people are desperate for change. 44:54 – Using Universal Based Income as a lever to address a crisis. The road to the 2020 election.
