On this week's episode of the Free Thought Project Podcast, Jason and Matt sit down with Skot Sheller, a New Hampshire Free State Project advocate with a wealth of knowledge on Argentinian politics, economy, and culture. Skot's wife hails from Argentina, and his father-in-law is a PhD Austrian economist, academic, and author in the country. Skot has been tracking the rise of Javier Milei since 2018, and he's here to give us the lowdown on how Milei's audacious libertarian and anarcho-capitalist stances are shaking things up. During this episode, we dive deep into all things Javier Milei. Jason and Matt don't hold back, throwing some tough, no-holds-barred questions at Skot about the real contradictions in Milei's approach—like how he advocates ending the state while using state mechanisms and coercion to achieve his goals. We also get into Milei's involvement with the WEF and debunk some of the wilder conspiracy theories surrounding his political journey. The conversation explores the tightrope Milei walks as a libertarian anarcho-capitalist in a world dominated by statists. Skot does an outstanding job addressing our challenging questions, providing well-informed counterpoints that will leave our listeners with a deeper understanding of the complexities and controversies surrounding Milei. Tune in for an enlightening and thought-provoking episode that sheds light on one of the most fascinating political figures of our time.

On this week's episode of the Free Thought Project Podcast, Jason and Matt sit down with Ryan Cristián from The Last American Vagabond. Cristián is a recent recipient of the Serena Shim Award For Uncompromising Integrity In Journalism and has devoted much of his life to bringing Americans the transparency and accuracy they deserve in media. Because Cristián does not toe the establishment line, this has put a target on his organization's back, and TLAV has been the subject of widespread censorship, demonetization, and slanderous fact checks. In this episode, we delve into the recent assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump and the massive storm of disinformation surrounding the event. We discuss how supposed "truth tellers" have been sharing easily debunked false narratives just to get clicks. We examine Israel's influence over the United States government and pose this critical question to our listeners: "What has Israel ever done for the US?" We talk about the horrifying war in Gaza and the slaughter of Palestinians by the IDF, highlighting how even Jews who stand against it are referred to as antisemitic. We scrutinize Trump's odd and suspect choice of JD Vance for his Vice President. Lastly, we discuss false heroes like Elon Musk, who pretend to stand for free speech while boosting talking heads that merely post rage clickbait and suppressing actual establishment-challenging narratives. Join us for a thought-provoking and deeply insightful conversation with Ryan Cristián, as we peel back the layers of deception and strive to uncover the truth.

So talk to us. What's one piece of advice you can give us this Monday morning? Anissa: Yeah, absolutely. So first of all, thank you for having me. so one thing that a lot of people are not aware of are the power Of Instagram ads.this is something that I have been using for quite some time. I do have a marketing agency that focuses on social media, but what's really powerful about Instagram ads is that it's almost like when Facebook just got started and nobody knew about Facebook ads. Like it's literally happening right now.And many of you early days of Michael's podcast, you know, you've heard me speaking about social media and Facebook, this is better than when I was teaching Facebook guys, the results are insane. what you're able to do If you have videos that you're putting up, so these are going to be.Reels, where people can go and see that you're an expert or what makes your practice different, or maybe it's going to be a video testimonial, but putting a little bit of ad spend on it, So going in and boosting that video. And again, it's just going in following the prompts. But once you're doing that, a couple things happen, You're able to have people on your team helping you. Thousands and thousands of views. For example, in our agency, Digital Floss, we had a client who was not an extrovert, Very quiet, very humble very, kind, very shy, almost ish. And being able to have those videos. highlight the sweetness of this particular doctor and how they were there to really serve the community and the things that they were working on in terms of Invisalign and those things.So anyway, you put the Instagram ads in and you can literally spend about 5 a day. And with that over a month, we were able to get about 30, 000 of views on her video of people that were five miles from her practice. Now, this is huge, but it doesn't stop there. All The other powerful thing is that when you're running.Instagram ads. You have the ability within the ad itself to be able to drive visibility or traffic, if you will, to somewhere else, whether it's going to be your website, whether it's going to be your online booking link. My favorite is actually a digital marketing funnel, So imagine now having a quiz where people can see if they are a candidate.For clear liners, or they are a candidate for dental implants, or if they qualify or pre qualify for financing right now, all of that traffic can go to that website where you are able to also collect email addresses if you have the right internal processes or team. Or agency and process to be able to call those leads to get them pre qualified to give them book the sky's the limit.But again, being able to spend, that amount of money, a dollar or less per click to your website is huge. So again, imagine spending, like 5 a day or even committing to, you know, 100 budget. Being able to get a hundred people to click to your website and being able to get, 000 views is huge.So that's the biggest thing that no one is talking about. There are definitely some people that are talking about Instagram out there that are teaching Instagram. If you go and look at their individual Instagram pages, though, there's typically, you'll see 300 views on their videos or a thousand views on their videos, right?Maybe. Maybe, that allows me to really understand that that's not being done. it's all about getting people in your local market to see it. Compiling that with what Michael teaches, right? With all the ground marketing. It's really powerful. Google's great. But what can we do on the organic side so that people in our own neighborhoods, in our own communities are talking about us.And so going into Instagram ads, compiling with that ground marketing guys is like game changer. Michael: So if we wind a little bit, how can the community, see that they're an expert, for example, the videos that they boost, how do we know post is boost worthy or we're looking at it and we're like, that wasn't the best post.Anissa: Yeah, so definitely there's some strategy behind it. I've seen lots of things again, just evaluating, but what works really well is utilizing the three opportunities at the top of your reels or your actual posts to be able to pen. Okay. And so what I recommend, whether it's either a photo post or a video is that the first real estate, the first post that you have pinned on the left.Is going to be, what makes your, practice different? So what makes Glee Dental different, why are our patients choosing us, The middle one should be your focus, So if that quarter you want to focus on clear aligners, so you want to focus on all on four.What do you want to be known for, Whatever that is, That video needs to be in the middle and the one all the way to the right is going to be a patient testimonial. So now within one quick glance, they're able to see that you're the expert why people are choosing you or what sets you apart.And at the same time, have an actual patient validating or vouching for your practice. I actually recommend to just have an ongoing budget of five dollars a day. And those will ultimately with that strategy will wind up having before, you know, at 100, 000 views, 200, 000 views.And again, being very strategic and, putting in the address of your practice location. And that allows you to, again, be able to target people that are five miles for your practice. And then. If you have an ongoing content strategy, which I 100 percent recommend, and you've got a video that's coming out every week or multiple videos, at least one of those videos every week, putting that 5 on.And so if you've got that ongoing budget in addition to again, once a week, putting a 5 on it for those, I typically say, let's just do 5 for 7 days. And then next week we choose another video and we do it 5 for seven days. And that way you can stay within budget. I know there are different people that are listening to this podcast, a lot of, young practices and a lot of startups I know really listen to this as a huge resource.And so as you're trying to really, modify or really stay within budget or like really tried to juggle a lot of things that strategy works really well. You know, The three at the top or every day and then once a week choosing one and then pushing it out for seven days and then it'll auto expire and then you just keep boosting the next one.So there's lots of strategies and again, you can incorporate this in with funnels and call centers and all of the things, but this is something that people can definitely start utilizing where they can see some immediate results. Michael: Nice. Okay. Great. And so I know you also mentioned.There's a lot of views that start coming in right when we do this. So out of the views that happen, how many are like cheeks and seats? How many patients actually come in? Anissa: Yeah. So there's two things that happen here. Okay. So number one is we're building a community of ambassadors. That ultimately you will not be able to turn off. So one of the things that I did for my practice if you remember, Michael was like, how did I get the 50, 000 people follow me? Like when my community started marketing for me, here I am now. 10 years out, 15 years out. I've got three associates and we don't have to do the Google ads and all of the things we just brought the practice in to do the social now.Cause it's really cool. A lot of things that are happening, but the reality is we don't have to because our entire community now sees that we're an expert. And so if you commit to the strategy, even for a year, it will pay you forever. Imagine now everybody's talking about you. So it's not a short time.Oh, I need to have five patients tomorrow. More powerful strategy than that, And so that's the 1 thing that happens, The 2nd thing that happens When we attach it to a funnel, is that now we're able to have the ability to collect email addresses to collect phone numbers, and now we can contact those leads immediately. The third thing that happens. Is that we have the ability once people are going to your funnel to actually have a tracking pixel there.And so if you're looking at doing Facebook ads again, if you're using an agency for that, or you're doing it yourself now, you have the ability for those Facebook ads to now be seen to people first who have visited through either people watching your videos or going to the landing page. And so you're going to have higher convergence as well.Michael: Interesting, I like that, building a community of ambassadors, you have a marketing engine from that point on. So then I know you mentioned the landing page that we can send them to. What should the quiz look like or do we do this? Anissa: Yeah, absolutely. So once they are going to The landing page is typically a page that has Information about the service.So for example, they're coming from an Instagram page Video or even a post, They go to a page and it'll say maybe it's going to be about pediatric dentistry. Is your child at risk for cavities? Take this quiz to find out. Or are you a candidate for dental implants? And so they go ahead and put in their information.There could be information about the doctor. They could be some Google reviews on there. And again that's one way to be able to build it. But again, the power there is to be able to get the results. Now they put in their phone number, they put in their email, and the beauty of that is that now you have those email addresses.We have a doctor within digital floss, where we're doing this with Instagram, also doing this with Facebook ads, and they now have an Invisalign day that's actually happening next week. And so what we're able to do for them. Is we're able to build out an email campaign to people who have previously gone in and taken the quiz some of them have become patients. Some have not but giving them that opportunity to come in and participate in this clear aligner day. Some of you guys know Ashley who has her startup Facebook group. This was literally the funnel that I built for her prior to opening.But it was a startup funnel and what we're giving away was a chance to win a thousand dollar gift card or free teeth whitening for life. And so this could actually be put out before you even open up your appointment book. And now the beauty and benefit of that. Is that you have those emails so that when you're ready to actually start taking patients, which is what she did, she's able to email them and say, okay, we're now making appointments, or maybe even in that funnel, having the ability for them to be able to get an online booking link and start prebooking appointments.If you don't have a back end team or agency to be able to help you. And so definitely, not just creating awareness, but creating that engine where you have the multiple touch points is going to be really powerful. Michael: Gotcha. Okay. And then one of the last questions. let's just say our budget is like, oof, to the itty bitty.Right. I know some people say like Instagram is a different type of audience than Facebook and then Google ads is like an overall kind of thing. What would you recommend? Would you just stick with Instagram? Anissa: somebody has a very little budget. you know, I love to do Google ads and Facebook ads and funnels.And I just need to start with something. What I would say is just pick up your phone guys, pick up your phone and figure out how to do stories, right? It's not hard. You've just follow the prompts, Because the power of stories is that you're getting into people's feeds.You can download. The story, you can use it as a real then when it's in storage, you can put captions on there. You don't have to have an external software to do that. Now that can be a real and you can literally boost these videos yourself, an again, small budget. Huge impact, Once you get that going, then now it becomes, okay, great. This is going now. I'm busy you know, or I don't have time for this, or I don't want to be the person having to remember to do this. And at that point, you can look at bringing in a local photographer, a videographer to get videos for you, whether you're going out on Upwork or online jobs, or, finding somebody to be able to edit the videos and all of the things.Or again, if you want to have an agency that can do for you, I own an agency is, for example, there are people that can literally fly in, do all of that stuff for you and you show up and the posts are there. But again, the thing is just don't not do it because you think that you need to have.An agency or a big budget or all of those things, like my first website for my dental practice guys, I built it myself on Squarespace. Mm-Hmm. .. Same thing for my coaching program. Like I built it myself, right? And then now, it gave me some insight and when I realized, you know what, it's not as good as somebody else will do it, or, I just put a little bit more money and, and then I had somebody to help me with it.And that's really the premium where you're gonna get to that point. But the point is like, do something. Don't not do anything. Right? Michael: I love that. Yeah. And then real quick, digital floss. Talk to me about that. Anissa: So I'm pretty excited about digital floss. Many people knew me from teaching Facebook and teaching funnels.I've worked with Brunson for seven years one on one. He's spoke about my Invisalign bundle and his book, Expert Secrets. And so after so many years about a year ago I was with Russell and I was like, I'm finally going to go ahead and say yes. I actually co founded a marketing agency with my business partner who is a pastoral assistant also agency owner Vemul we formed an agency that did not exist.And so we literally go out and we film content. You speak with a premium copywriter, my copywriter who gives you really heart centered copy. We do the editing, we post for you, we build the funnels. And then now we can retarget with those Facebook ads. We do Google ads and it's really high touch again, clients saying, Oh, we've got an Invisalign day.And the very day we're like, okay, here's some flyers that we've designed for you. ahead and print these out and put them at your front desk, right? Or we're going to email your, leads list. And then being able to have that call center that can get people pre approved for financing for you and put them right into your schedule.So, that's our niche. We are, focusing there, but we're really excited about being able to help practices to do social correctly. And it's not about, followers. It's about actual patients that will come in and building the community to be that marketing engine for you.Michael: Awesome. That's going to be exciting in this. And I appreciate your time. And if anyone has further questions, you can definitely find her in the dental marketer society, Facebook group, or where can they reach out to you directly? Anissa: Yeah, absolutely. So digital floss is the best way to connect with us.And what's really cool is that, we have calls and some people it's just social. Some people, they're like, I don't want to be on social, but I need help. And so we're able to help them on the Google ad side. And sometimes, honestly, it's just telling you strategy and say, you know what?Let's start first with you doing it on your own and do this and do this well, and then reach out to us. we're just there to be a resource. My partner and I are practitioners first in the dental field, and so we're just really here to try to help give you strategy and help get you so that you can build that impact.Michael: Awesome. So all the links are going to be in the show notes below if you want to reach out to Anissa. Anissa, thank you for being with me on this Monday morning episode. Anissa: Thank you so much for having me.

The Klamath River 4-Dam Removal project is the largest such effort going on anywhere in the world. For decades advocates for letting the river run free to benefit salmon and all other associated riverine biodiversity assumed the corporate and government entities that had built and managed the dams were too powerful and closed off to the idea of removal.  But in recent years certain conditions changed and the stars somehow aligned— just long enough— for more open discussions of possibility to take place. Six indigenous tribes, agencies, politicians and corporate interests engaged in dialogues that led to a decision and a plan to bring the dams down.  By the end of 2024, this portion of the mighty Klamath River will flow freely once more.Learn More About the 4-Dam Removal Project:NPR: No turning back: The largest dam removal in U.S. history beginsAmerican Rivers: 6 Things You Need to Know About the Klamath River Dam RemovalsOregon Public Broadcasting: Researchers, tribes, residents prepare for a century of sediment released from the Klamath damsThis episode was produced by Chrissie Bodznick with music by Trace Ketterling.Learn more about The Answers Are Out There Podcast at www.theanswersareouttherepodcast.net or on instagram.

So talk to us. What's one piece of advice you can give us this Monday morning? Luke: So one piece of advice for dentists, orthodontists, or really a lot of business owners. Uh, I've had the pleasure of working with probably about a thousand dentists or orthodontists, uh, within the past 10 years.And I think a false belief and, it's probably taught or, you know, talked to, uh, amongst peers is you need to be able to scale your practice through acquiring locations and adding more doctors. And while that could be the case, I see people do this way too quickly. Absolutely. they'll have a low production practice.They'll also be carrying a lot of debt. and think I need more cash flow. I need to look for my second location. I need to look for another associate doctor. And I've actually seen a lot of practices go under this way because they become over leveraged. So I always tell people, focus on what you have.Grass is not always greener, build what you have, prove the concept, get your business to an A player, and then duplicate that. Nobody wants to duplicate a D player. You know what I mean? So if I have a business, it's not performing super well, it's probably not time to duplicate the model. Michael: Interesting. Okay.So then what's too quickly in your experience? If we're specifically talking about, let's go with like a general practice. Sure. And they're busy, too busy, right? So they're assuming, Oh my gosh, I need a doctor. I need an associate. I need a more hygienist. Right. Would that be too quickly? Luke: Well, it really depends on the specific situation.It could be time. But. Most of the time I've never met a dentist or orthodontist that's actually too busy. It's very rare and I'll explain why. The reason why we become too busy when running a business is we're doing the wrong things. Thanks. Very rarely do you talk to a dentist or orthodontist running the practice.I mean, again, this could be any other specialty within dentistry or maybe even any small business. And I've done this myself as a business owner. Well, who is, uh, looking at payroll? Who's looking at our credit card statements? maybe a security camera goes out. We need that. I mean, you get the idea.We carry all this stuff and there's a lot of things we don't delegate. So if you look at an org chart within a dental practice, typically it's the doctor, Maybe an office manager and everybody else. And the office manager probably also does other things. Maybe she has to be an assistant some days, or maybe she has to pick up the phone or things like that.And so I think if the doctor sets up an org chart to just be a doctor, which is going to produce the most amount for the practice. That's why they went to forever, you know, because they're, they are the only ones who can do what they do. So on your genius and delegate everything else. The doctor within a practice.In the day to day should be the technician. And I don't mean like a dental tech. I mean, if you read the book, the E myth, which is one of the most popular books in the world for small business, there's technician, the manager, and the visionary. A dentist can be the technician and the visionary. They never want to be the manager.everything else has to be delegated. They have to be the dentist and outside of 8 to 5 or maybe on breaks or specific planned meetings. They can float into the visionarybecause they're the owner. So their vision, their mission is going to set the practice apart and have a unique identity, but they should not be managing.And this is where most dentists, I would say 98 percent get stuck on the hamster wheel and they can't grow. The number one thing we hear, I don't know if you hear this, is we just need more new patients. Makes sense. But I asked them, well, how many people filled out a form on your website last year?Well, I don't know. Well, where do those people go? Well, I think they go to Cindy. Well, does Cindy have a list? Um, no, I think she just like calls them then and sees if they pick up. Okay, well, how do we track that? How many times did we call them? What did we say? So you don't necessarily need more patients.You need better systems, right? Because if I scale marketing and just bring you more of those types of leads and they're falling by the wayside, do you need more patients or should we first fix system and then you may already have. The leads that you need to scale to your goal. Michael: And I guess that's where that, it of comes in where the front office sometimes, do you get this sometimes Luke where like they tell you, patients you're sending me, the quality is not good.I need better quality patients. And you're like, the only job is to be getting you leads, right? It's up to you to, you're not converting it kind of Luke: And And this is any sales process. Yeah. I don't care what business you're in. Uh, people are guarded. I don't know about you, but I've opted in to a lot of things.I missed an appointment with my chiropractor. I've been for like three years. Totally forgot. Am I a bad patient? Well, probably not. but we have access to anything we want right here. We have a supercomputer in our pocket at all times. And so, you know, dentists and orthodontists, and I can appreciate this.Typically, there's a little bit of an ego there. Hey, I'm a very specialized person. I'm a smart person. I'm skilled. I can help you. Um, you should come to me, but we don't know that as the consumer, we look at dentistry now, largely as, a commodity. And so you have to put yourself in the shoes of the patient, the consumer, the client, If they don't know, if they opt into a lot of things and click on a lot of things and forget.Or it's not at the top of the priority list. If my tooth's not in pain, how do we nurture them and establish a relationship and bring their guard down and let them know that we are the practice of choice? that is a real holistic sales process that we've forgotten because we think people should just click on our stuff and then show up in our practice.Doesn't really work that way. would challenge a lot of people listening to look at how they behave. When's the last time you checked your voicemails? Do you respond to all text messages? Do you call every number back that's red on your phone? Because red is like, on my phone, that's the missed calls. I never check my voicemails.only when it says 95 percent full. And I never call the numbers back that are red. And my phone, I haven't looked into changing the settings. Thanks. But if I don't have your number saved in my phone, it won't even ring. it takes you straight to voicemail. So if a practice is calling me and I opted in, do I save their phone number?When I opt into the ad. No, of course not. That would be ridiculous. So don't have your number saved. You go straight to voicemail. I don't check my voicemail. Did you send me a text? What did the tech say? You know, was it personable? Did it sound like a robot? Cause that's another thing is like people are getting spam texts all the time.I probably get five, maybe 10 a day. So we have to look at ourselves, uh, and this is why the rest of the team in the practice is so important as people who genuinely want to help people and know that people probably most people, especially when it comes into digital opt ins, they're on step one. If step 10 is getting them in the practice, what do we have to do to bond with that person, get that person's trust.Make them realize they do want to come in to see us when it's time to fix X, Y, and Z. And the people doing that should love doing that. They should not be complaining about doing it. If they're complaining about doing it, they're not in the right role. Michael: Interesting. If they're not in the right role, what do we do then?Luke: We have to either move them to another seat, Or move them off the bus. This is why planning is so important. If you don't build an org chart, if you don't look at the different roles, if you don't plan, if youdon't, give uh, tests to your team, like, predictive index is a test that we use. There's others, maybe, uh, strength finders, Enneagram, maybe all of them see what their strengths are, see what what they like to do.Even if someone's not highly trained, you're going to know if they have a passion for something. Based on their giftings and what they're genuinely, uh, succeeding at, right. They may need a lot of help, but they have a natural inclination to do this thing. Um, Uh, and that was me on the phones. Like I, I sold, uh, New York times in a call center.So I was like cold calling people and have to turn it into a game. and you have to have fun with it. And if you can't have fun in whatever role you're in, even as a dentist, if you can't have fun doing it, maybe you shouldn't be doing it. Michael: Interesting. Okay. So then if we scale back a little bit or rewind back a little bit, you mentioned when you have an A practice, like an A practice, that's when it's okay, let's start scaling.So then how can we tell, all right, this is an A player practice Luke: profitability. So it's not about how much money you make. It's about what you keep. ThereThere is a an average, healthy business when you look at profitability and you know, within based, it's probably about 30 percent is the benchmark.Now dentistry and then specialties within dentistry like orthodontics could even be higher. You know, your average orthodontic practice on the low end is going to be 30 percent net. I know some people who are 60 percent net, which is kind of unheard of. But we should be shooting for somewhere in there.Now, certainly if there's lab fees and you're doing, um, more indirect bonding or things like that, profitability may be a little bit lower. but that's the benchmark you should look at. You should be working with a CFO, like fractional CFO, accounting firm, whatever, to define that. and I would also look at.total revenue profitability and your time, you know, if my time and I'm 30 percent net and you know, at a, at a good run rate. If I still could add a day in, well, would I go start another location? Because I can still maximize where I'm at. So, you know, maybe I open Fridays, maybe I open up a half day Saturday.Now, if I don't want to all the time, then I would bring in that associate to cover the Friday and half day Saturday. While I went out and spent that time looking for that satellite location. Then when I create the satellite location, they're already trained. They've been working with you in the main location.Now you can place them into the satellite. Once you ramp that up. Michael: Gotcha. Okay. So that's when the associate kind of comes right? That that's when you're like, okay, It's a super need Now bring them in while looking. Interesting. Okay. Interesting. Okay. Awesome. of advice for this? this? Luke: Not I think you have to look at the flip side.And, and what I mentioned early on was people do it way too fast. what are you taking home? Uh, how are you having to pay these other doctors? What loans do you already have? How much are you going to have to pay for that new location? And if all those things are going to put you in a bad financial place, don't do it.you can focus on what you have and grow what you have. And so, like I said, I mean, I've seen people go under, people are producing very little, maybe even half a million a year. And they're like, I got to bring in a doctor. I got to get another location. It's like, with what? Like, you don't have the resources to do it.This doesn't make any sense. So slow down, pump the brakes, take a deep breath, get strategic, grow the practice that you have. Get it to a good place, then look at scaling and you may not want to scale. That's the thing. Like you don't have to do this. You could create a lifestyle practice three days a week, and it could be what you want.And then you only have one practice in one building and one note to worry about instead of two or three or four. Michael: Yeah, you're right, man. Bigger isn't always better. Yeah. Awesome. Awesome. Luke, thank you so much for being with us. I appreciate your time. And if anyone has further questions, where can they find you?Luke: Uh, can find me at hip dot agency. You could also reach out to us on the contact form And we have all this stuff in books. So we have several books, that are applicable for any specialty within dentistry that go through all this stuff. This one really talks about the org chart scaling and how to grow the right way.Um, and then I even created one for the doctor's mindset, which I think is very key, but yeah, you could, you know, Hit us up there. Uh, we'll actually ship all these to you for free. If you don't want to wait for hard copies though, you could just go pick your copy up on audible iBooks. They're on e readers and, and all audio platforms as well for purchase.Michael: Nice. Awesome. that's going to be in the show notes below for you to check out. Awesome, man.

In this thought-provoking episode of the Free Thought Project podcast, hosts Jason and Matt sit down with Jeremy Kauffman, an American entrepreneur and fervent political activist known for his pioneering work in blockchain technology with the creation of LBRY, a decentralized file-sharing platform. Kauffman, also a notable figure in the Libertarian Party and a former U.S. Senate candidate, shares his insights on the challenges of attempting systemic change from the federal level. Throughout the episode, we delve into the successes of the Free State Project in New Hampshire, highlighting its role in fostering local change by uniting libertarians to influence local governance positively. Jeremy discusses his philosophy of localism as a more effective strategy for enacting freedom-oriented policies. Additionally, we explore the controversy surrounding Jeremy, particularly how his provocative statements have been misconstrued in the media, as recently noted in a critical Mother Jones article. Despite these challenges, the conversation remains optimistic, focusing on the tangible successes of libertarian strategies at the local level and the potential for future victories in the fight for freedom. Join us for a dynamic discussion on the power of local activism and the enduring quest for liberty.
