Dutch farmers filled the streets in protest, blocking roads with their tractors. Why? Because politicians and urban citizens want to reduce farming, citing greenhouse gas emissions. But what would be done with the former farmland? Build more houses, apparently, since the increasing population is becoming an issue. However, new development is also constrained by strict regulations on greenhouse gases.

Having been raised on a dairy farm, our guest, Maurice Jantjes, disagrees with the proposed regulation to reduce the population of cows by 95%. He asserts that farming can be ethical for both the animals and people involved. His passion is health - he is a physical education instructor - and Maurice wants us to prioritize our wellbeing over financial concerns.

“You have to have some pragmatic thought to how you’re gonna operate your government as a libertarian; and if you wanna get rid of all government, then you’re not a libertarian. You’re an anarchist.”

Cassaundra Fryman, mayor of Plymouth, Ohio, joins us to talk about the shortcomings of the two party system, big government, crony capitalism, and how to improve the local community through volunteerism and political diversity. The answer to social problems - Cassaundra argues - is not to be found through more laws and regulations, but instead through voluntary action at the local level. She leaves us with a call to action: vote third party in local elections.

“I believe that we could probably take a lot of the services that our government renders and privatize them and make them much more efficient.”

"Increasing minimum wage is one of the cruelest legal things that our government can do to people who earn minimum wage."

Dr. Eric Wild is a PhD in Business Management who owns a property management company. He is also an adjunct lecturer at the University of Florida's College of Business.

Based on his understanding of economics, Eric contends that forcing an increase in the minimum wage leads to a larger segment of the population becoming permanently unemployed; additionally, it decreases everyone's purchasing power.

We go on to discuss the value of an undergraduate degree, motivation and discipline in the workplace, and (perhaps most interestingly) Eric's unique path in acquiring owner-financed real estate.

This is a great episode for anyone interested in economics, business, management, and real estate!

Two young entrepreneurs with an event management company tell us to stop playing the victim and stop being lazy. Instead, they advise adding value by collecting data to pinpoint exactly where we are underperforming. Such data collection will also allow us to highlight our strengths. Being accountable means being honest.

Savanna and Miller of 'Advent Promotions' join us to talk about how they got started in event management and promotional staffing, in addition to sharing their success stories and lessons learned.

"Treat every client like they’re you’re only client. Always add value to the person beside you when you don’t know what to do. Don’t worry about money, worry about doing great work, and money will be a result.”

“The schooling system educational cost versus income return, I think, is something that’s really not spoken about.  A lot of these people had $150,000-$200,00 worth of student debt, and they weren’t really benefiting from it. …  If you Googled history of income growth versus tuition growth, it’s completely disgusting to look at.”  

  Chris Krenek, a Cell Manager at an aerospace engineering company, joins us to give his opinions on education, career choice, and skills and strategies in the business world.  More importantly, we debate the demographics of various beer brands (political leaning vs. income).   Chris enjoys boating and fishing, so we touch upon that.

We also talk about drugs. We always seem to have that compulsion. Maybe we have a problem.

"I don't think debt is bad. I think debt is good, if you use it correctly. ...

You can't do that with stocks or another kind of asset class like that. You can't just go and say, "I'm going to own these $300,000 worth of stocks," only putting 3% of that down. And that's one of the powerful things about real estate."

Joined for a second time by the up-and-coming David Delahunty, we discuss his latest real estate acquisition, a creatively financed deal. David bypassed any bank or mortgage lender to buy the property directly from the seller. Later in the show, we call the owner of a property that Hunter is interested in to discuss similar owner financing options. Were we successful? You'll have to listen to find out!

Stacy: “I’m not anti-capitalism, but I don’t think that our system of capitalism works, not just for our country but for the world in general.”

Hunter: “Woah.”

Graduate of Columbia Business School and a director and manager of finance at various big-name companies (including Amazon), we are joined by Stacy Burrell to discuss economic issues the world over. Interestingly, despite having made finance his main career choice, Stacy is more interested in inspiring people to their fullest. In fact, Stacy helps paint a picture that as employees we should be working for fulfillment, not for money; and as employers, we should both be willing to pay our employees more so that they can live to the fullest, while also taking time to develop their individual strengths. We discuss Patrick Lencioni's 'Working Genius', which can help us to either *be* or *have* better workers.

Know thyself!

"ChemRisk is the [company] that Ford basically paid forty million dollars to, in order to, I don't know, resynthesize studies that have already existed. You know, done like a metanalysis. I kind of think of it like the mortgage crisis, where the banks were repackaging good loans with bad loans, and then saying, "oh, they're good loans," when they really weren't."

Hunter and Al have on an old friend, Jamie, a trial lawyer in New Orleans who works for clients that have contracted mesothelioma. These mesothelioma cases are sometimes caused by enormous companies (such as Ford Motor Company) including mesothelioma-causing asbestos in their products. These big companies then spend a huge amount of money to pay for studies (conducted by consulting firms such as ChemRisk) concluding that the big companies have a dubious liability... when previously the studies tended to show definitively that the big companies were at fault for including asbestos in their products. These cases are especially immoral when the staff at the big companies had been informed in advance that their decisions would cause mesothelioma.

But the conversation isn't all serious. Between laughs, we discuss the changes to the short-term rental market in NOLA (and how that will likely affect other locations), the importance of jury selection for trials, and hot new thrash metal bands.

“For a guy that’s been stabbed on the subway, shot at, chased by the mob, homeless; I think I did pretty good. If you want to get down to the nitty gritty… I’ve been arrested a few times. And the reason I bring that up is because those are the mistakes that I, deep down inside, I want to let my son know that that’s no place to be. It’s one of the most humiliating places, embarrassing, and hurtful places you will be. Any human being might end up there because anything can happen. But if you can avoid that, that’s one of the big things in life that you really shouldn’t experience.”

You'll get a kick (or punch?) out of this fantastic storyteller. Coach JC joins us on the Entitled Opinion podcast to tell us about his life, starting with how he had to fend for himself as a teenager when he moved from Brooklyn, NY to Bumfuck, FL. After taking some licks and doling out some of his own, he had hopes of competing in boxing at the Olympic echelon. While that dream did not come to fruition, JC never gave up on boxing, transforming that passion into coaching. He's kept the fighting spirit alive despite adversities, pushing through hardship to come out the other side. He is now excited to welcome his firstborn into the world.
