Podcasts about Independence

What if one of the qualities you've always taken pride in—your independence—is actually keeping you stuck, isolated, and fragile? In this episode, I'm sharing how the book The Family Economy by Rory Groves completely reframed my understanding of strength, success, relationships, and even coaching. I open up about the way I was raised to value self-reliance, how I wore it as a badge of honor for years, and why I now see it as a form of quiet fragility. You'll hear why dependence—when built intentionally—is not weakness, but a deeper kind of strength. One that stabilizes marriages, empowers families, accelerates progress, and deepens friendships. This episode is for anyone who's ever said, “I should be able to figure this out on my own,” and who's ready to consider a more powerful—and connected—way forward. In this episode: How I was raised to see independence as strength Why The Family Economy changed my view of success How true strength is rooted in interdependence What this means for families, friendships, and coaching Why asking for help strengthens relationships How coaching works best when we lean in, not isolate Links & Resources: The Family Economy by Rory Groves  Apply to work closely with me in our 8-week DEFENSE program! 

After the American War of Independence, Britain recognized the United States, but it didn't necessarily make them close allies.  Each country had its own agendas, and a generation later, they were butting heads again over a host of issues.  The result was another war, but unlike the Revolutionary War, everyone claimed victory, and no one really won anything.  Learn more about the War of 1812, its causes, and its resolution on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.  Sponsors Newspapers.com Get 20% of your subscription to Newspapers.com Quince Go to quince.com/daily for 365-day returns, plus free shipping on your order!

This Day in Legal History: Medicare and Medicaid Signed into BeingOn July 30, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Social Security Amendments of 1965 into law, creating the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The signing took place at the Truman Library in Independence, Missouri, with former President Harry S. Truman—an early advocate for national health insurance—present and symbolically receiving the first Medicare card. Medicare was designed to provide hospital and medical insurance to Americans aged 65 and older, regardless of income or medical history. Medicaid, created alongside Medicare, offered healthcare assistance to low-income individuals and families.At the time, nearly half of Americans over 65 had no health insurance. The passage of Medicare was a landmark achievement of Johnson's Great Society initiative and built on decades of political struggle over healthcare reform. The legislation amended Title XVIII of the Social Security Act and was strongly opposed by many in the medical establishment and conservative politicians who labeled it as “socialized medicine.” Nevertheless, the program gained rapid popularity and provided immediate relief to millions.Administered by the federal government, Medicare initially had two parts: Part A, covering hospital insurance, and Part B, covering outpatient and physician services. It has since evolved to include prescription drug coverage (Part D) and options for private plans (Medicare Advantage). The law reshaped the American healthcare landscape and established the principle that access to healthcare for seniors was a federal responsibility.The U.S. Senate confirmed Emil Bove, a former lawyer for Donald Trump and senior Justice Department official, to a lifetime seat on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in a narrow 50-49 vote. Bove faced unified Democratic opposition and criticism from over 900 former DOJ employees, who claimed he undermined the department's integrity. His nomination prompted a Democratic walkout during the Senate Judiciary Committee's vote and drew sharp condemnation from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.Despite controversy, Republicans praised Bove's background as a federal terrorism prosecutor and his legal work defending Trump in several criminal cases. His confirmation shifts the appellate court's balance back in favor of Republican appointees. Critics cited Bove's alleged directives that defied judicial authority and political interference in a corruption case against New York Mayor Eric Adams. Bove denied wrongdoing in both instances. His confirmation is part of Trump's renewed effort in his second term to reshape the judiciary, following over 230 appointments in his first term. Trump has also nominated another close adviser, Jennifer Mascott, to the same court.Trump lawyer Bove confirmed to US appeals court, overcoming Democratic opposition | ReutersBove Confirmed to Appeals Court After Whistleblowers Emerge (1)A White House crypto task force established by President Trump is set to release a highly anticipated report outlining the administration's policy goals for the digital asset sector. The report, expected Wednesday, will address tokenization, market structure legislation, and a regulatory framework for blockchain-based financial products. Created by executive order shortly after Trump took office in January, the group is led by Bo Hines and includes top officials such as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and SEC Chair Paul Atkins.The document is expected to support expanded use of tokenization, which converts traditional assets like stocks and real estate into blockchain-based tokens. The report may call on the SEC to create a framework enabling firms like Coinbase to offer tokenized securities, though specific language remains under wraps. It will also outline the White House's preferences for crypto legislation currently advancing in Congress, including follow-up to the recently passed stablecoin law.Trump has made pro-crypto policies a centerpiece of his administration, reversing many of the enforcement actions taken under President Biden, such as lawsuits against Coinbase and Binance. While the industry sees the report as a roadmap for mainstream integration, concerns remain about conflicts of interest, particularly given Trump's financial ties to crypto ventures and meme coins. The administration has denied any ethical violations.White House set to unveil closely watched crypto policy report | ReutersThe Trump administration has formally requested the release of grand jury transcripts related to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, citing public interest and mounting pressure over the government's handling of the sex trafficking cases. Prosecutors filed late-night motions with U.S. District Judges Richard Berman and Paul Engelmayer, arguing that the sealed testimony should now be disclosed, though the judges had previously asked for stronger legal justification. Grand jury records are typically secret, with limited exceptions for disclosure.Trump said he directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to seek the unsealing after the Justice Department reaffirmed its conclusion that Epstein died by suicide and that there was no list of elite clients—a stance that frustrated some Trump supporters who suspect a cover-up. Epstein died in 2019 before his trial; Maxwell, convicted in 2021, is serving a 20-year sentence and has appealed to the Supreme Court to overturn her conviction.In a related effort, a Florida judge recently denied a separate request to release grand jury records from earlier state investigations into Epstein, ruling they did not meet legal exceptions. Even if the federal judges allow the current transcripts to be unsealed, the documents may not reveal new information, since much of the testimony was covered during Maxwell's trial. The transcripts also wouldn't encompass the full scope of investigative material held by the government.Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, a former Trump lawyer, recently met with Maxwell for two days, reportedly seeking any names or evidence she could provide about others potentially involved. Neither Blanche nor Maxwell's attorney has commented in detail on those meetings.Trump administration asks judges to release Epstein, Maxwell grand jury transcripts | ReutersA Massachusetts jury has ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay over $42 million to Paul Lovell, who developed mesothelioma after decades of using the company's talc products. Lovell and his wife sued in 2021, claiming the talc contained asbestos that he unknowingly inhaled, and accused J&J of failing to warn consumers despite knowing the risks. The jury awarded damages for pain, suffering, and medical costs.J&J denied any wrongdoing, calling the verdict “junk science” and saying its products are asbestos-free and safe, with plans to appeal the decision. The company ended U.S. sales of talc-based baby powder in 2020. This case adds to a string of multi-million-dollar verdicts against J&J in talc-related mesothelioma lawsuits, although some have been overturned on appeal.J&J is facing over 63,000 active lawsuits, and possibly up to 100,000 claims in total, most alleging ovarian cancer from talc use. The company's attempts to resolve the claims through bankruptcy have failed in court three times, including a $10 billion settlement proposal rejected in March. The Lovell case is part of ongoing litigation that continues to test J&J's legal strategy and product safety claims.Johnson & Johnson ordered to pay $42M after jury finds talc caused man's cancer | Reuters This is a public episode.

In this episode of The Difference a Dad Makes, hosts J. Fotsch and Brian Mattson are joined by Jason Hinson from Victory Mission for a lighthearted yet deeply practical conversation about raising children to be independent. From toddler chore charts to the complexities of launching adult children, the trio explores what age-appropriate responsibility looks like across different life stages. The conversation emphasizes the importance of knowing each child's personality, offering guidance without micromanaging and modeling life skills like financial literacy, technology use and emotional regulation. Jason shares stories of parenting kids ranging from preschool to post-high school, highlighting that developing independence is not about pushing kids out but preparing them thoughtfully for what's next. Episode Highlights [01:22] “We have a chore chart… they get $5 if they've done their chores for the month… give, save, spend.” [06:00] “I watched my son… it took him five minutes to take out the trash, but I feel like he had a sense of accomplishment.” [08:12] “Be curious about behavior… you're trying to understand what they're doing and guide them.” [12:23] “Over the course of your days, you did a part-time job on your phone.” [17:26] “What if you're coming back at 24 now because you forced them out and they weren't ready for that independence?” [20:18] “Just because you're 18 doesn't mean I quit caring… things change.” [28:11] “Think of yourself as a guide… you get a front row seat to watching that human become the best version of themselves.” Resources

Episode 103:  Brad Shepherd is the President and CEO at Founders Financial, a broker-dealer and RIA dedicated to building purpose-rich, advisor-centric enterprises. With nearly three decades in the industry, Brad blends deep financial expertise with a passionate commitment to helping advisors grow intentional, values-driven practices. His journey from investment rep to executive leader is shaped by strong mentorship, a calling to serve, and a conviction that people—not platforms—drive impact. This week, Kyle and Brad discuss the myth of independence in the financial services industry and the power of interdependence between firms and advisors. They dive into Founders' unique Strategic Enterprise Program, how to scale while staying true to your mission, and why Brad believes staying small and focused can beat the industry's race toward consolidation. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (02:05) - Brad's money moment (06:38) - Brad's transition from advisor to CEO (10:16) - What sets Founders Financial apart (14:08) - Why advisors want to become independent (17:16) - Founders' Strategic Enterprise Program (SEP) (21:59) - What it means to be a purpose-driven, servant-led financial planning firm (25:27) - Simplifying internal complexity (31:07) - Founders' ideal partners (37:16) - Leveraging technology wisely (43:24) - Brad's outlook on the future of the industry (50:39) - Brad's Milemarker Minute Key Takeaways Independence is a myth—embrace interdependence. Brad challenges the industry narrative of independence, arguing that advisors are rarely truly independent and benefit more from authentic partnerships with firms that share their values and vision. Your business is a reflection of who you are. Founders Financial's Strategic Enterprise Program helps advisors grow with intentionality by focusing on personal vision, values, and leadership—not just platforms and performance. Discipline and clarity create scale. Brad emphasizes the importance of staying focused, saying no to distractions, and aligning every decision with a clear mission. This kind of intentional discipline is what allows firms to scale without sacrificing their identity. Quotes "We actually are not in the independent space. We are in the dependent space. The actual, honest characterization of a relationship between advisors and firms is that we're dependent upon each other." ~ Brad Shepherd "What makes independent advisors great isn't their commodities. It isn't their investment management prowess or their cooler financial plan. It's them." ~ Brad Shepherd "Smart decisions about how you manage and run your business and the right partners to help you do it, using the tools that you now have to the best of their ability, drive the outcomes you seek." ~ Brad Shepherd Links  Brad Shepherd on LinkedIn Founders Financial Michael Brooks Strategic Enterprise Program - Founders Financial Commonwealth Financial Network LPL Financial Docupace Connect with our hosts Milemarker.co Kyle on LinkedIn Jud on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Produce game-changing content with Turncast Turncast helps your company grow by producing top-quality content and fostering transformative conversations.

Send us a textThe moment arrives for every parent – watching your child transform from dependent teenager to independent adult. In this heartfelt conversation, we're joined by a special guest who offers a unique perspective on this pivotal transition from the young adult side of the equation.Cameron, a college student preparing for graduation and engaged to be married, shares candid insights about what truly helped him navigate the journey to independence. Rather than focusing on the moment of separation, he emphasizes how his successful transition resulted from years of gradual preparation – parents who allowed increasing autonomy while maintaining a reliable safety net of support.The conversation explores that delicate balance every parent struggles to find: providing enough freedom for growth while ensuring your child knows you're available when truly needed. As Cameron explains, knowing he was unconditionally supported gave him confidence to solve problems independently, navigate uncomfortable situations, and discover his authentic self away from home.For parents approaching this milestone, our discussion offers practical guidance on preparing teenagers for independence long before move-in day. We address the importance of transferring responsibility for everyday tasks, communicating expectations clearly, and acknowledging the emotional challenges parents face when their caretaking role fundamentally changes.Perhaps most reassuringly, we discuss how the parent-child relationship doesn't end but evolves into something potentially more rewarding – an adult friendship built on mutual respect. As one parent reflects, "To have an adult relationship with your kid is probably the greatest thing I didn't expect to happen."Whether you're years away from this transition or facing it imminently, this episode provides valuable perspective for nurturing independence while maintaining meaningful connection. Join us to discover how letting go might just be your greatest parenting achievement.Please be sure to checkout our website for previous episodes, our psych-approved resource page, and connect with us on social media!

In an era when hedge funds gut local newspapers and trust in media is under siege, Lansing's fiercely independent City Pulse has found a surprising new lifeline—not in corporate consolidation, but in mission-driven philanthropy. The paper's founder, Berl Schwartz, turned down multiple offers before striking a deal with the Michigan Independent Media Group, led by civic engagement leader Dr. Jason Franklin.

After Kelly's conversation with Lenore Skenazy this past Tuesday, we're going deeper into the moment that changed everything for this mom and sparked a national conversation about how we raise our kids. When Lenore's 9-year-old kept begging for some independence, she finally said yes—letting him ride the New York subway home alone from Bloomingdale's. The op-ed she wrote about it in The New York Sun brought fierce criticism and praise in equal measure, with some calling her brave and others suggesting she should be reported for child abuse. It's a story that gets to the heart of something so many of us wrestle with: How do we help our children develop confidence and self-reliance in a world that feels increasingly dangerous? And what happens when our desire to protect them might actually be holding them back from becoming the capable, independent people we want them to be?

Everything we have is a blessing from God, and how we handle our resources has a spiritual impact. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses how to be a good steward of our resources, gifts, and talents. He shares some of the Bible's promises surrounding money, and he corrects three common misconceptions about wealth and Christianity—that it's unspiritual to be rich, everyone should share equally, and prosperity is an indicator of holiness. God gives each of us gifts and abilities, and we have the opportunity to use them to advance His Kingdom!

In this episode, PhD Economist Jens Nordvig breaks down the evolving macro environment marked by waning Fed independence, shifting capital flows, and a weakening U.S. dollar. He explains how tariff shocks, long-end bond dynamics, and geopolitical tensions are reshaping global investment behavior and challenging the traditional safe-haven role of U.S. assets. Jens also outlines the structural phases of de-dollarization, central bank reserve diversification, and how these factors may signal a long-term dollar downtrend.

 Interview with Trent Mell, CEO of Electra Battery Materials Corp.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/electra-battery-materials-tsxvelbm-ready-to-complete-build-4676Recording date: 22nd July 2025Electra Battery Metals is positioning itself at the forefront of North America's critical mineral security strategy by developing the continent's first cobalt refinery specifically targeting the battery market. The Canadian company's hydrometallurgical facility, located north of Toronto, represents a strategic solution to Western dependence on Chinese mineral processing capabilities.The company's business model centers on a stable tolling arrangement rather than commodity speculation. Through a five-year contract with LG Energy Solution, Electra will process cobalt hydroxide sourced from the Democratic Republic of Congo via partnerships with major mining companies Glencore and ERG. This material, which would otherwise flow to Chinese refineries, will be redirected and processed into battery-grade cobalt sulfate in North America."We've locked in a five-year supply contract with LG on a tolling basis, which provides us the margin that ensures we never go out of business," explained CEO Trent Mell. The arrangement targets approximately $30 million USD in annual EBITDA once the facility reaches full capacity of 6,500 tons, equivalent to supplying roughly one million electric vehicles annually.The project has attracted significant cross-border government support, with $20 million from the U.S. Department of Defense through the Defense Production Act and $20 million CAD from the Canadian government. This backing reflects the strategic importance of onshoring critical mineral supply chains amid growing national security concerns.Beyond the core refinery business, Electra is developing battery recycling capabilities through a joint venture with indigenous partner Aki, targeting black mass processing from battery manufacturers. The company's approach prioritizes predictable cash flows over market volatility, positioning it as a utility-like investment rather than a traditional volatile mining stock.With zero cobalt production currently existing in North America for batteries, Electra's first-mover advantage addresses a critical supply chain gap while supporting both civilian EV adoption and defense applications.View Electra Battery Metals' company proflle: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/electra-battery-metalsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

What do we mean by 'intercultural church ministry'? What steps can churches make to move from being 'mono-cultural' towards being 'inter-cultural'?Each group of people shares a pattern of doing things: its culture. As cultures from around the world mix more and more, communities can be mono-cultural or multi-cultural.When we read about the great multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and tongue in Revelation 7:9, we see an 'inter-cultural' community united around the throne.In order for churches to reflect this vision of heaven, they need to move from mono- or multi-cultural to inter-cultural: welcoming people from all cultures, being blessed by then, and blessing them.In this episode of In:Dependence, Phil Topham (FIEC Executive Director) is joined by Justin Gill (FIEC's Intercultural Ministry Advisor) and Tim (a form FIEC pastor with experience in intercultural ministry) to explore what intercultural church is and how we can make steps towards being more intercultural in our churches.Show notesFIEC Leaders' Confernece 2025 (fiec.org.uk)Reflecting Heaven: building an intercultural church where you are (fiec.org.uk)About In:Dependence: In:Dependence is FIEC's official podcast, where you'll hear conversations on topics for church leaders.About FIEC: We are ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠a fellowship of Independent churches⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with members of the family across England, Scotland and Wales.

Former medical sales professional Clint Harris discovered that financial independence alone wasn't enough - he needed time and location freedom too. After building 14 Airbnbs that replaced his income but kept him essentially on call, Clint pivoted to truly passive investments. Now a General Partner at Nomad Capital, he helps others break free from trading time for money through alternative investments like converting vacant big box stores into storage facilities.  Episode Highlights  The Three Pillars of Investment Success: Time, experience, and money - and how to partner with others when you only have one of the three  Why "Saving Your Way to Retirement" No Longer Works: The impact of inflation and fiscal policy on traditional retirement strategies  The Millennial Storage Boom: How 34% of the population is driving demand for climate-controlled storage as lifestyle extensions  Independence of Purpose: Moving beyond financial freedom to create time and location independence  The 2008 Wake-Up Call: Why market volatility at the wrong time can derail decades of traditional investing  Community Impact: How converting vacant buildings revitalizes small towns while generating returns  Vertical Integration Strategy: The importance of controlling every aspect of the investment process  Memorable Quotes  "Financial independence is really not what I was after. I'm looking for financial time and location independence."  "If you buy enough of them, you can break this cycle of trading your time for money and paying for other people's days off."  "Independence of purpose is where you go where you want, when you want, do what you want, you raise your kids the way that you want."  "Money can't buy happiness, but what it can buy is ease and options."  "Instead of you getting up and working and trading more of your time for dollars, you can put that money to work. And that money is getting up and out of bed and going to work on the days that you don't feel like it."  "The most important thing is start with the end goal in mind and work backwards. And the end goal in mind should be purpose, happiness, ability to have a positive impact on the people around you."  Closing Thoughts  Clint's story reminds us that true wealth isn't just about accumulating money - it's about designing a life that aligns with our values and gives us the freedom to focus on what matters most. Whether through storage facilities, multifamily properties, or other alternative investments, the key is finding partners who share your ethics and vision, then building assets that work for you instead of the other way around.  The conversation challenges us to examine our own relationship with work and money. Are we building toward independence of purpose, or are we trapped in the cycle of trading time for dollars? As Clint puts it, the goal isn't just to make money - it's to buy future days off and create a legacy that extends far beyond our bank accounts.  Bio:  Clint Harris has a 15-year background in medical device sales. Clint has always been in the business of innovation, and creative solutions. In addition to his work with Nomad, Clint owns a strong multifamily real estate portfolio and built a highly successful property management company from the ground up with an emphasis on streamlining automation and vertical integration. Clint's core belief is that financial independence, when combined with location and time independence, creates independence of Purpose. He joined Nomad with the goal of sharing that vision with our investors daily.  Find Clint:  Website  LinkedIn  YouTube  Truly Passive Income Podcast   See Where Your Practice Stands: Take our Practice Growth Readiness Assessment  Connect With Us:  Be a Guest on the Show  Thriving Practice Community  Schedule Strategy Session with Tracy  Tracy's LinkedIn  Business LinkedIn Page

US Treasury Secretary Bessent suggested a “wholesale review” of the Federal Reserve was necessary (while supporting central bank independence). In the context of recent challenges, these remarks may trouble investors. Central bank independence was critical to the post-1970s moderation of inflation, and helped prevent the post-pandemic inflation from being worse than it was.

Chair Powell and the FOMC are facing heightened pressure to cut rates and account for cost overruns associated with renovations to the Fed's headquarters. President Trump's vocal desire to remove Powell has prompted investor concerns that monetary policy will be influenced by short-run political incentives rather than longer-run economic outcomes. In this special edition of Simply Put, we talk with Carola Binder, Associate Professor of Economics at the University of Texas, about the disinflationary impacts of central bank independence, the difference between de facto and de jure independence, and the Fed's institutional guardrails against political pressure.

Send us a textFreedom, discipline, and intentional growth—these seemingly contradictory concepts form the powerful foundation of sustainable success in business and life, as explored by Jared Ledford and Eric Olson in this reflective Steel Kings episode.Drawing inspiration from Independence Day, the hosts peel back the surface of entrepreneurship to examine what truly drives fulfilling work. "If you get to the point in your life where you do what you love every day, you'll never work a day in your life," Jared reflects, connecting the passionate joy of kids playing baseball in "The Sandlot" to the satisfaction they've found in the shed and steel building industry.The conversation takes a compelling turn as they discuss the concept of "pruning"—intentionally cutting away what's not bearing fruit to create space for new growth. Both hosts share candidly about difficult business decisions that initially felt like risks but ultimately cleared the path for their current success. "When you clean your slate off, now you can write on it," Eric observes, highlighting how removing unproductive elements creates clarity and new possibilities.Perhaps most practical is their insight on maintaining consistency through the inevitable ups and downs of sales cycles. Rather than riding emotional highs and lows, they advocate for steady discipline—doing the same productive tasks daily regardless of immediate results. As John Maxwell wisely noted and Jared quotes: "The secret to your success is found in your daily routine."Community involvement emerges as another cornerstone of their approach, with both hosts actively engaged in local chambers of commerce and events. They challenge listeners: Whatever your position is right now—good, bad, or indifferent—you can do something today to change your tomorrow. This commitment to incremental, consistent action has transformed their business and can do the same for yours.Ready to bring more intention to your business approach?

In this episode of America's Founding Series, Professor Nick Giordano explores the fascinating and often misunderstood legacy of John Dickinson, the man known as “The Penman of the Revolution.” While others raced toward independence, Dickinson stood firm in his belief that liberty must be secured through law, not rushed into through war. He helped ignite the flames of resistance with his Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania, yet refused to sign the Declaration of Independence, only to later pick up a musket and fight for the very cause he once questioned. Discover how Dickinson's moral conviction, intellectual rigor, and post-war contributions helped shape America's founding in ways few recognize today. Episode Highlights: Why John Dickinson refused to sign the Declaration of Independence despite being a leading voice for colonial rights How the Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania became one of the most influential texts of the American resistance Dickinson's surprising postwar legacy, from drafting state constitutions to defending the U.S. Constitution in The Letters of Fabius
