This episode of Hustle and Flowchart takes us on an exciting journey with Gregory Shephard, a successful entrepreneur and investor. Gregory shares his experiences from starting and investing in multiple businesses, offering listeners practical advice about the startup world. He discusses his new book, "The Startup Lifecycle," explaining the common missteps founders make and how to avoid them. Gregory is passionate about helping entrepreneurs succeed without skipping essential steps.Gregory outlines the critical phases of a startup, from envisioning the company's purpose to exiting the business successfully. In these conversations, he mentions compelling statistics, like the fact that almost half of startups fail within their first year. With these insights, Gregory aims to guide founders through early pitfalls that can lead to failure.Introduction to Gregory ShephardMeeting Gregory Shephard again was a pleasure. As a fellow entrepreneur from San Diego, he brings a wealth of knowledge. Having been involved in numerous startups and investments, Gregory offers valuable insights into business growth and sustainability. His enthusiasm for helping founders succeed shines through in his advice and strategies.The Importance of Having a Clear VisionGregory stresses the importance of having a clear vision when starting a business. Without a roadmap, founders can find themselves lost and making rash decisions. He compares this to taking a road trip without a map – you might miss important stops, detours, or gas refuels. Defining your "North Star" helps guide a company through its lifecycle by connecting where you are with where you want to go.Navigating the Startup LifecycleGregory's book, "The Startup Lifecycle," outlines the stages vital for a startup: Vision, Product, Go-to-Market, Standardization, Optimization, Growth, and Exit. From creating a prototype to commercializing it, Gregory explains the importance of each stage. He emphasizes that standardization, often overlooked, is crucial for maintaining high margins as a startup scales. Gregory introduces concepts like "up and out" and common pitfalls in team management to further illustrate his points.The Dangers of Overvaluing and Over-InvestingThe conversation covers the "capital trap" where startups overvalue themselves when raising funds. This leads to pressure from investors for returns that might be unrealistic. Founders could face challenges sustaining growth while trying to meet high monetary expectations. Gregory advises achieving profitability early on and maintaining it to avoid these traps. This approach may result in slower growth but fosters sustainability and control.Personal Challenges and GrowthGregory shares his personal philosophy on conquering challenges. By venturing on daring quests yearly, he exposes himself to situations he initially thought impossible. Whether wrestling alligators or preparing for a trip to space, Gregory learns persistence and resilience in the face of adversity. These experiences mirror the startup journey, where mental strength plays a significant role in overcoming business obstacles.Connect with Gregory ShepardGrab your copy of "The Startup Lifecycle" hereSee the latest from Gregory on his websiteLinkedInFacebookInstagramClosing Thoughts and Key HighlightsThis episode with Gregory Shephard...

Are You Building a Business or a Trap You Can't Escape? On this episode of The Liquid Lunch Project, hosts Matthew R. Meehan and Luigi Rosabianca sit down with Darryl Bates-Brownsword, a seasoned expert in business valuation and exit strategies. Together, they dive into the complexities of valuing a business, the importance of having a clear exit vision, and the common mistakes business owners make when preparing to sell. Darryl shares actionable insights on how to make your business sellable and why timing, vision, and intangible assets are critical to a successful exit. Episode Highlights: Every business owner has unique goals for exiting their business—know yours. Business valuations must align with reality, not fantasy; intangible assets often hold the most value. Timing matters: sell when you can, not when you have to. A clear vision for life after your exit is as important as your strategy to get there. Overvaluing your business and being too involved in its operations are common pitfalls. Younger entrepreneurs are leading the charge in building businesses with exits in mind. Employee ownership and trusts can be viable exit strategies—but only if properly planned. Surrounding yourself with a skilled team, from advisors to tax experts, is essential for a successful sale. Shifting from profit growth to asset growth is critical for maximizing valuation. Who is Darryl? Darryl is the head of Succession Plus in the UK, a global leader in exit planning and business strategy. With years of experience guiding entrepreneurs through the maze of business exits, he's the expert you want in your corner when it's time to turn your business into a legacy—or your next big opportunity. Thinking about selling your business someday? Start preparing now to ensure you exit on your terms. Tune in to hear Darryl's expert advice and make your business exit-ready today!   Favorite Quote: “You've done a great job at building a business, but selling a business is totally different. It's going to be the biggest payday of your life…or it's going to feel like a messy divorce.”   Connect with Darryl: https://succession.plus https://www.facebook.com/successionplusuk/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/succession-plus-uk/ https://twitter.com/successionuk https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvDxV23Erux8w05NaMrUorw   Stay Connected: Connect with Matt and Luigi on Instagram: ➡️@matthew.r.meehan ➡️ @luigi_rosabianca, ➡️@theLiquidLunchProject ➡️@ShieldAdvisoryGroup.

Jen Boland, founder of Boland Solutions, talks about the strategic application of incremental testing to enhance nonprofit fundraising efforts. The discussion centers on how nonprofits can use data-driven approaches to optimize their marketing strategies, particularly by employing incremental and lift testing.Watch on video! Jen begins this engaging conversation, with host Julia Patrick, by explaining her background and the focus of her work, explaining how many organizations overvalue certain marketing channels, particularly those that are more about demand capture rather than demand generation. She stresses the importance of correctly interpreting data to ensure that fundraising efforts are effectively allocated. Jen says, "Overvaluing channels that really are demand capture channels and not demand generation channels... probably over investing in the wrong tactics and under investing in the right tactics."The conversation then explores the BEATS model, a framework Jen adapted from the for-profit sector, which stands for Business Financials, Experiments, Analytics, Technology, and Surveys. The model is designed to help nonprofits better understand the incremental value of their marketing efforts. A key part of the discussion is on the role of experiments, particularly lift testing, which involves testing different marketing strategies to determine their true incremental value. This is crucial because traditional metrics like last-click attribution can often be misleading. As Jen notes, "If we don't test into higher spend, if we don't test into different types of creative, we will never know the true incrementality of our marketing efforts."The talk between the two highlights the challenges nonprofits face in accurately measuring the effectiveness of their marketing channels. Jen speaks about the use of simple tools like Excel to conduct these tests, arguing that even smaller organizations can benefit from these insights. She encourages nonprofits to challenge their assumptions by conducting withholding tests, particularly on branded paid search ads, to see if these expenditures are truly necessary or if they could be better allocated to more effective channels.This informative episode provides nonprofit professionals with a comprehensive overview of how to apply incremental testing to their fundraising strategies. By adopting a data-driven approach, nonprofits can make more informed decisions that ultimately lead to more efficient and effective fundraising outcomes.  Learn more from Jen at BolandSolutions.comFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

We are so excited to have Matthew Hussey back, fresh off the release of his amazing new book Love Life, to talk about raising your standards and finding love. He validates the stress (and often sadness) around finding a partner in the first place and why it's hard to “just relax,” and then we discuss why you may need to fight against your own instincts when dating. Matthew breaks down how to raise your standards, recognize intention vs. attention, stop overvaluing the wrong people, and let go of “unhatched eggs.” He also opens about his marriage and how, at the beginning of the relationship, his wife lowered the stakes while raising the standard. Lastly, we discuss finding the strength to leave an unhealthy relationship. Before Matthew joins us, we're talking about nudes, awkward customer service interactions, the plane window shade debate, and BOOTH BOYFRIENDS. Enjoy!

Welcome to an in-depth exploration of the notional value of Bitcoin and Gold with Brian from quantlabs.net. In this episode, he analyzes and shares his understanding of notional value, a term widely used by derivative traders. Referencing articles from coindesk.com and Investopedia, Brian breaks down what notional value entails and its impact on trading strategies. Brian then dives into the analysis from JP Morgan, talking about how the Bitcoin spot ETF is expected to grow to $60 billion in the next two to three years, shifting the market price vs the implied price. An important aspect to note is the heightened volatility of Bitcoin, nearly 3.7 times higher than Gold, hence affecting the metrics of comparison. Brian also talks about the future scenario of Bitcoin and how the net flows into spot Bitcoin ETFs could influence the market. Furthermore, Brian shares his own investment experiences and the performances of various coins. He highlights Bitcoin as the preferred choice for investment due to its consistent performance. He also shares viable watchlist options and advises caution while dealing with smaller, lesser-known coins owing to their higher volatility.

Music by: Andy Grammer - "Spotlight" 

Inside of all of us, there is a voice. A quiet, guiding light handed to us from evolution and survival - through our primal selves to our modern selves, we have carried it through our bones. And with a culture that places more importance on logic, reason, reality, and physical evidence - we have become profoundly disconnected from it. This voice is our most powerful asset, it is our internal compass, our sixth sense, our key to freedom within ourselves to explore the outside world free of fear - It is our Intuition. And in this episode, I help you learn how to rediscover it. Back from my week journeying the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina, named one of the three spiritual “vortexes” in the U.S. -  I share some profound learnings I had in my time of full-circle presence while away. I speak on:  Trusting your path & learning to trust yourself What freedom truly is, and how we define it How we often mistake freedom for controlled independenceThe ways we limit our own freedom & silence our intuition by: Overvaluing logic, reason, and what looks good “on paper” (not that this isn't important, but too much of it leads to silence within our own internal knowing)Looking to other people for advice and guidance instead of trusting ourselves Looking to the world for approval, or only trusting ourselves when we're “doing well” in life Keeping ourselves attached to our own pain & victimhood Keeping ourselves in environments or around people we may have outgrown / not being able to “let go” for fear of loss & How to learn to trust yourself and your own intuition through Acting out of alignment and then leaving the rest - surrendering to the unknown Letting go of the need to control/force outcomes, people, situations, and thingsLetting go of fear/what-ifs Being open to discovery and your intuition by quieting your mind Not letting other people have more influence over you than your own internal knowing apologies for the NYC noise & cabs in the background - they wanted their moment :,) ---------------------------------------------------------VIDEO PODCAST TO THIS EPISODE IS LIVE ON YOUTUBE TikTok: butterflyfountain Podcast Instagram: @figuringshiiitoutPersonal Instagram: @222vgf Youtube:  @figuringshitout (Vanessa Fontana / Butterfly Fountain)Contact: contactbutterflyfountain@gmail.comSupport the showSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/figuring-sh-t-out/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this episode, I share three reasons why we get caught thinking that our schedule and identity are intertwined. Our society praises overworking and over-committing. Our culture emphasizes productivity, and as a result, we connect our busyness with our worth. I argue that you matter just by being you. How busy your schedule is or your ability to meet a million commitments is irrelevant to your worth. Overvaluing a packed schedule leaves no room for spontaneity or fun. Instead, we lose our identity in an endless stream of activities and never allow ourselves to rest.Remember, work is work. Whether your schedule is filled with commitments for a paid job or unpaid labor like housework, childcare, and volunteering, being busy is not a marker of your self-worth. You are inherently valuable. Constantly working and always giving your time to others is a cycle we all fall victim to. I challenge you to acknowledge your role and your relationship to your schedule. Everything you do is a choice. Prioritize boundaries for your wellness because you matter whether you meet the commitments on your schedule or not.  RESOURCE:Interested in self-coaching?

Mo-oh,oh,oh,oh. Overvaluing prospects in regard to Soto. What will the redbirds do at the deadline. Iggy tells a tale of trying to donate a chair to his neighbors, to no avail. EMOTD.

David Goodhart is a British journalist. In 1995 he founded Prospect, the center-left political magazine, where he served as editor for 15 years, and then became the director of Demos, the cross-party think tank. His book The Road to Somewhere coined the terms “Anywheres” and “Somewheres” to help us understand populism in the contemporary West. We also discuss his latest book, Head Hand Heart: The Struggle for Dignity and Status in the 21st Century.You can listen to the episode right away in the audio player above (or click the dropdown menu to add the Dishcast to your podcast feed). For two clips of our convo — on why elites favor open borders, and why smart people are overvalued — head over to our YouTube page. Early in the episode, David discusses how his adolescent schooling in Marxism was “a bit like how people sometimes talk about the classics as a sort of intellectual gymnasium — learning how to argue.” Which brings to mind the following note from a listener:I feel compelled to tell you how much I enjoyed listening to your episode with Roosevelt Montás. I’m a retired lawyer in my 60s, and although I had a decent education growing up, my experience did not involve a full immersion in the classics. Hearing you two talk was like sitting in a dorm room in college — except the people talking are older, wiser, actually know what they were talking about. What a treat. I’m a pretty regular listener of the Dishcast, and this was the best yet in my opinion.Much of this week’s episode with David centers on how our capitalist society ascribes too much social and moral value to cognitive ability. That theme was also central to our episode last year with Charles Murray, who emphasizes in the following clip the “unearned gift” of high IQ:The following listener was a big fan of the episode (which we transcribed last week):I must tell you that your conversation with Charles Murray was the single best podcast I’ve ever heard. So deep, broad, and thought provoking. Thank you both for your willingness to explore “unacceptable” ideas so thoughtfully and carefully.I have read two of Charles’ books — Human Diversity and Facing Reality — and, among other things, I am stunned by how ordinary a person he seems to be. That sounds odd. What I mean to say is that, while few people could analyze and assemble so much data and present it so compellingly, his conclusions are what the average person “already knows.” I suspect that most people couldn’t plow through Human Diversity, but given a brief synopsis, they would say “duh.”When you mentioned your deep respect for black culture in America, you touched on something I wish had been more developed in Charles’ books: the option we have of celebrating human diversity rather than resigning ourselves to it or denying it. I would like to develop that idea a bit further:Conservation biologists understand (celebrate) the value of genetic diversity in nonhuman species, because each population potentially brings to the species genes that will allow it to flourish under some future environmental challenge, whether that be disease outbreak, climate change, competition from invasive species, etc. Humans too, as living organisms, have faced and will undoubtedly continue to face many unforeseen challenges, whether environmental, cultural, economic, etc. Hopefully, we will continue to rise to these challenges, but we have no way of knowing which genes from which populations will carry the critical traits that will allow us to do so. So, all the better that races DO differ and ARE diverse — in the aggregate, on average. Population differences are GOOD for a species because they confer resilience!Oh, and for the record, I tend to be center-left, with most of my friends leaning further to the left, so the ideas you presented are forbidden fruits. I cannot discuss them with anyone other than my husband, who can hardly bear to listen because they are so taboo in our circle.Here’s another clip with Charles, bringing Christianity into the mix:This next listener strongly dissents:Charles Murray, and you as well, seem to believe that you can magically separate out the effects of culture and poverty, and determine the effect of “race” on intelligence, which you define as IQ. The problem is, everything you’ve discussed here is nonsense.First, you assume that the term “race” describes a shorthand for people who share a common genetic background, and I suspect this is garbage. Most American Blacks have multi-ethnic backgrounds, with skin melanin being the main shared genetic feature. So, there’s little reason to believe that there’s a correlation between melanin content and other genetic features.Second, you assume that IQ describes general intelligence, that G factor Murray talks about. But intelligence is clearly multi-dimensional. My wife and youngest daughter have a facility with Scrabble, and general word enumeration games, that is way beyond me, and they’re better writers than I am. On the other hand, I have a general facility with mathematics that they can’t match (though my oldest daughter might be able to). And that’s just two dimensions; I’d bet there are many more, encompassing things like artistic talent, architectural design and talents in other arenas. You yourself are an excellent writer and interviewer, but I’ve read your writings for years, and I’d bet your understanding of statistics is elementary at best.Finally, you have no answer to the remarkable changes in IQ in Ashkenazi Jews over the past century. Supposedly IQ is supposed to represent an innate and unchangeable measurement of intelligence. And if you believe that average IQ of an ethnic group is a meaningful measurement, then you have to explain the changes in average IQ among American Jews over the past century. Goddard in the early 20th century claimed that 83% of tested Jews were feebleminded, while today, the great grandchildren of those feebleminded Jews now have IQs 1/2 to a full standard deviation above their co-nationalists. There’s an obvious answer here: IQ tests simply don’t test anything fundamental, but instead test how integrated into American culture the tested subjects were at the time.These are serious challenges to the idea that specific ethnic groups have unchangeable intellectual talents: some of your ethnic groups are non-homogeneous genetically, your definition of intelligence is simplistic, and there’s clear evidence that social integration greatly overwhelms any inter-group average differences. It is obvious that some people are more talented in one area than another, and that a significant amount of these differences are determined genetically. But when you move from the case of individuals to trying to correlate American racial groups with intelligence, I truly believe you’re just making a big mistake. Many Blacks in this country have grown up with the expectations that they simply can’t succeed on their own. I find it impossible to believe that we can filter out the effect of being raised with the expectation of failure. I work in tech, and it seems that a seriously disproportionate number of Blacks at my Gang of Five company come from the Caribbean — where, of course, Blacks are a majority and don’t face the same expectations of failure. We had a panel discussion on race and all the panelists came from the Caribbean, and all had stories of parental expectations that you’d expect from a stereotypical Asian-American family today.That said, right now, the Woke are acting more patronizing (and in my view, racist) than anything since the ‘60s. At this point, the Woke (I refuse to apply this label to the whole Left) treat Blacks as incredibly fragile beings who can’t handle any discussions of problems that aren’t laid at the feet of white people’s racism. It’s pretty disgusting.Instead of going point for point with my reader, here’s a comprehensive list of Dish coverage on the subject from the blog days. Another listener recommends a related guest for the Dishcast:After ruminating on some of your recent podcasts, I’d like to suggest a future guest: Paige Harden, author of The Genetic Lottery: Why DNA Matters for Social Equality and professor of behavioral psychology at the University of Texas-Austin. I imagine you’ve read her profile in The New Yorker. Since your conversation with Briahna Joy Gray, the tension between matters of structure and personal agency have been echoing in my head.When I listen to other guests of yours, other podcast hosts, other conservatives, I see everywhere the tension between structure and personal agency. And having read Harden’s book this fall, I’ve been thinking of her work more and more as a bridge between these seemingly divergent world views. She swims in the same research waters as Charles Murray and Robert Plomin — but she (a) is explicitly clear that this research has, as of yet, no value in studying ethnic groups and (b) treats environmental factors differently than they do. On the latter, Harden makes some compelling arguments about the interplay between environment and expression of individuals’ genes (and thus abilities). It’s easy to see the corollaries in personal ability and responsibility (both with strong roots in genetics) versus the leftist tendency to dismiss people’s actions vis a vis blaming structural inequalities.Harden sometimes trades in some language verging on woke, for lack of a better term, but her more nuanced philosophical references are to John Rawls, not neo-Marxists. She’s really quite convincing. Also, I’ve always appreciated that you ask your guests to reflect on their upbringing and how they got where they are. Having read that New Yorker piece and her book, I think hers is an interesting story in and of itself.It is indeed. Harden is a great idea for a guest. I’ll confess that I felt I needed to read her book thoroughly to engage her, and didn’t have the time so put it off. Thanks for the reminder.A reader responds to a quote we posted last week praising Mike Pence for standing up to Trump after the assault on the Capitol:Pence had innumerable chances over years to expose Trump for exactly what he was. Besides one forceful speech since, there hasn’t been much else from the MAGA-excommunicated, nearly-executed veep. How about a live appearance before the Jan 6 Commission, Mr Vice President? Probably not. While I agree that Mike Pence may have saved the republic on Jan 6, he only did so with a gun to his head — with an actual gallows erected for him, while the Capitol was being stormed and people were dying. Better late than never, but he really cut it close, no?Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney are the profiles in courage here, along with all those Capitol police. Pence doesn’t deserve this lionization … at least not yet.Points taken. But to be honest, any mainstream Republican who opposed the attempted coup is a hero in my book. Another reader quotes me and dissents:The early Biden assurance that inflation was only a blip has become ridiculous, as Janet Yellen herself has conceded. No, Biden isn’t responsible for most of it. But some of it? Yep. A massive boost to demand when supply is crippled is dumb policy making. And imagine how worse it would be if Biden had gotten his entire package. Larry Summers was right — again.European countries did not have stimulus like we did, yet they are experiencing similar levels of inflation. This would indicate that inflation is a world-wide phenomenon and not tied to our particular stimulus packages. Also, Larry Summers has been pretty much wrong on everything — here’s a synopsis from 2013 (or just google “larry summers wrong on everything” and see the articles that pop up). Money quote:And Summers has made a lot of errors in the past 20 years, despite the eminence of his research. As a government official, he helped author a series of ultimately disastrous or wrongheaded policies, from his big deregulatory moves as a Clinton administration apparatchik to his too-tepid response to the Great Recession as Obama's chief economic adviser. Summers pushed a stimulus that was too meek, and, along with his chief ally, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, he helped to ensure that millions of desperate mortgage-holders would stay underwater by failing to support a "cramdown" that would have allowed federal bankruptcy judges to have banks reduce mortgage balances, cut interest rates, and lengthen the terms of loans. At the same time, he supported every bailout of financial firms. All of this has left the economy still in the doldrums, five years after Lehman Brothers' 2008 collapse, and hurt the middle class. Yet in no instance has Summers ever been known to publicly acknowledge a mistake.Sorry, but the EU provided a Covid stimulus of $2.2 trillion. And Summers was clearly right in this case, and Janet Yellen wrong. Another reader also pushes back on the passage I wrote above:I have a bone to pick with you when you discuss the Biden economic policy. Your contention is that the American Rescue Plan was “dumb policy making” because it exacerbated inflation. Fair enough — but if we are going to discuss the economy, then we need to have a full exploration of the policy choices and their implications. Yes, we have had six months of multi-decade high inflation, but we also have had about a year of near-record lows in unemployment and record-high job creation. Before you dismiss that as simply due to the reopening of the economy post-COVID, it’s worth noting that the American economic recovery has vastly outperformed all prognostications, as well as other Western economies. So in sum, the result of Biden’s policy is high inflation, high growth, high job creation, low unemployment. Let’s be clear then: when you criticize the ARP as too big and thus causing inflation, you are advocating for stable prices at the cost of a low growth, high unemployment environment. It’s a fair argument, I suppose. But after having lived through the weak economic recovery engineered by Larry Summers during the Obama administration, one that choked the early careers of many millennials, I’m not sure Biden’s choice was particularly egregious. But what we may well be about to get is stagflation — as interest rates go up even as inflation continues. It’s possible we fucked up both times: in 2009 with too little stimulus and in 2020 too much. I understand why those decisions were taken and the reasons were sane. But they were still wrong. Tim Noah has been doing great work lately on these questions of inflation and recession, including an interview with Summers. This next reader defends Biden’s record on the economy and beyond:The pragmatic counter-argument to your criticism of Biden is this: his economic program, while inflationary, produced unprecedented job growth after a recession, reductions by 50% in child poverty, more than five new business startups, and increases in business investment and personal bank balances of more than 20%. It’s among the reasons the American economy is outperforming China’s for the first time in two generations.Biden’s signature foreign policy achievements in Central Europe have led to the enlargement of NATO and awakened Europe to its responsibilities to its own security, all of which will contain Russia over the long term. This precedent, coupled with the Aussie-Brit nuclear deal, opens real possibilities for containing China’s potential regional expansion in Asia. At home, Biden’s Justice Department, like Gerald Ford’s, is fumigating the fetid stench of politics it inherited. The Biden White House has re-opened the doors to governors and mayors who need help from Washington in a disaster, regardless of partisan affiliation or views of Dear Leader; and it is laying the groundwork for a much-needed affordable-housing boom in our cities. Your hopes for a politics of dynamic centrism, which I share, does not take into account that as many as 10 million of our fellow citizens are prone to political violence due to the real-world influence of Great Replacement Theory, according to Professor Robert Pape of the University of Chicago. There is no comparable threat from the illiberalism on the left — which is a problem, nonetheless. In the wake of Trump’s loss in 2020, leading Republicans, including the governors of Florida and Texas, are competing for those constituents. That’s a movement my fellow classical liberals and I — stretching from the center-left to the center-right — can and should live without. Bill Buckley wouldn’t have sucked up to them. In the real world, the GOP wooing of the violent right poses an existential threat to our quality of life. It’s why I am voting straight Democratic in 2022. And it is why I would gladly vote for Biden, again in 2024, if he sought re-election.Happy to air your perspective. This next reader is bracing himself for Trump 2024:I know it gives you a warm feeling all over to write a column about the revolt against the woke, but it won’t be wokism that propels Republicans into office in 2022 and returns Trump to power in 2024 — something I agree will be a disaster for the republic. Trump’s return to power feels inevitable to me today. The January 6th hearings will make no difference to Trump supporters.Don’t get me wrong; I think wokism is annoying and stupid, but it is not the threat to the nation that you believe it is, and it never was. Wokism has destroyed the left and that is the real tragedy. Instead of a populist left railing against the rich, we have a bourgeois left railing against heterosexual white men, leaving the working class in the thrall of an American Orban. The working class now feels that the left and Democrats have failed them; and they are right, they have.Americans will vote for Republican for one reason: inflation. It should be no surprise that inflation is out of control, but both Biden and Trump spent billions helping people who were unable to work during Covid (the right policy) without raising taxes (the wrong policy). Now, to fight inflation we need to raise taxes and that is impossible; there aren’t the votes in the Senate. American tax policy is insane. You can have low taxes, or you can solve social problems like helping people who can’t work because of a pandemic, an inadequate public health system still unprepared for the next pandemic, homelessness and addiction, and crime. But you can’t have both. It really isn’t that complicated.Grateful as always for the counterpoints, and you can always send your own to dish@andrewsullivan.com. Another dissenter gets historical:I agree wholeheartedly with your clarion condemnation of the odious Trump. But you are wide of the historical mark when you state that Trump is “the first real tyrannical spirit to inhabit the office since Andrew Jackson.” Jackson was authoritarian in character. He was a product of the trauma of the Revolution and he brought his military identity to the White House. But he was not a tyrant or dictator. (There is more historical evidence for Lincoln as dictatorial than Jackson.) More appropriate — if non-American — comparisons for Trump would be Henry VIII, Wilhelm II, Mussolini and Nixon.Mind you, an interesting Dishcast guest would be Jon Meacham to discuss US presidents with authoritarian tendencies: Adams Sr., Polk, Andrew Johnson, Teddy R and Wilson. All expressed some form of authoritarianism, but sometimes the presidency and the nation derived benefitAnother digs deeper into the Jackson comparison:I suggest you interview W.H. Brands, who wrote a biography of Andrew Jackson. There are many ways to judge a history book, but to me an important criterion is, did I learn anything I did not already know?  Reading this book I did.I am only going to mention one of a good number events in Jackson’s life that Brands brings to the forefront. After the Battle of New Orleans, Gen. Jackson had ordered that a curfew remain in effect and that the city was to remain under martial law. For good reason: while the British offensive on one flank was a disaster, they had relative success on the other flank, and their remaining commander could have ended the truce and ordered another attack. But the British never did a follow-up attack. One New Orleans business man then took Andrew Jackson to court, claiming he endured an unnecessary economic loss on account of the military curfew. The court ruled in the businessman’s favor. AND, incredibly, Andrew Jackson paid the fine! Now stop and think, what must have been on Old Hickory’s mind. Here he risks life and limb to save the city from British domination, and he’s fined. Andrew could think, why should I pay?  I’ve got the Army in my control, I’m not just a commander whom soldiers fear, but also one that has the adulation and respect of my soldiers and the populace at large.   To me, that episode reveals that Jackson was hardly the tyrant he is portrayed to be by most modernists steeped in presentism. He should never be placed in the same sentence as Trump unless the word “contrast” or “opposite” is used. Let's keep Old Hickory away from any such comparisons and let his image remain on that $20 bill!Well I learned something from that email — so many thanks. Meacham is a good idea too.

 This will be a bite sized episode with the goal of setting a growth minded intention and focus, for the upcoming week. Each MINIsode will offer a quote that encapsulates the theme of the week. After the quote we will dive into a weekly focus. Something small that we can concentrate on for the following 7 days. As well as a physical activity tip and nutritional tip, that will assist us in working toward a more healthy and optimal way of living our own dream life. And each MINIsode will end with a recommendation for the week. This recommendation could be anything from a podcast episode to listen to, or a book to read, or even an article or paper, that I feel will help us better educate ourselves towards the overall focus of the week. If this is your first time listening to a MINIsode. The goal is to listen on Friday/Saturday or Sunday to be ready to start the challenges of the week on Monday. Listen to one MINIsode every week, and as that week finishes, move on to next weeks MINsode. You can start all the way over back at MINIsode #1 or join in with the team right now.
