Show Summary: You won't want to miss this episode with the outspoken and hard-working activist Eric July, where he talks to Johnny and Raylene about changing culture by promoting principles through art and media.  His drive and passion for liberty keeps him hungry, learning, and always improving, working to take these solid ideas of self-ownership to the next level.  He explains why coddling isn't for everyone, and we discuss how we will create warriors for our cause by boldly and without apology, challenging the statist narratives.  This man is a marketing wizard who knows how to cut to the quick while educating others in a truly meaningful way.   

If you like this show, you'll love the After Party and All-nighter where Eric was put "on Blast" and answers listener questions and talks about technology, art, and twitter beef as well as issues with people in "the party".  You can hear both at SupportBlastOff.com on our Patreon!
