It’s hard to say “favorite” episode because I love them all. Every conversation I have, I learn, and its my favorite thing about hosting a podcast - the guests. But. I really liked this conversation with Mark P. Mills of the Manhattan Institute.

So much data, knowledge and insight over the hour. I bought his most recent book “Digital Cathedrals” and “The Bottomless Well” immediately following our discussion and the conversation pairs extremely well with our next episode with Chris Wright of Liberty Oilfield Services.

Lots to unpack, I hope you enjoy.
