ICTea (Transparency, Equity, Accountability) Podcast

In my 47th episode I sit down with a handful of delegates from Kansas who attended the Libertarian National Convention last month in Washington D.C. My guests are: Dan Gaeddert, Hayden Maples, Mark Robinson, Eric Lund, and Mark Davis. For the first time attendees, we talk their expectation vs reality. Then we all give our highs and lows of the convention. We talk some developments since convention and we end with sharing what we are working on now that convention season is over. Please reach out if you have any questions or seek clarification on an topic or want to speak to one of my guests, I am happy to share their contact info! Also, please check out Chase Oliver’s Presidential Platform here: https://www.votechaseoliver.com/platform.

In my 46th episode I sit down with Tim Tarkelly, Former Legislative Director; Allison Ross, former Communications Director; and Dan Gaeddert, current Candidate Recruitment Director. The four of us discuss what our final straw was that made us resign from our positions with LPKS.

We all discuss the climate of both the state and national parties - and Dan and I specifically discuss what our mindsets are going into National Convention next week in Washington DC.

Please holler if you have questions or would like to chat with any of us - I will gladly put you in touch. Also all my guests participated in their own voluntary manner ;-)

In my 44th episode I sit down with one of my oldest and dearest friends Maggie. We talk about how through therapy she has been able to unpack certain traumatic events that she has held onto since our teenage years. Please note that neither one of us are a therapist by trade, we are simply sharing our stories, not necessarily giving advice. We are both big advocates for seeking professional help! We discuss an attack on her family that happened when she was 14, our experience at a small town pregnancy crisis center, her abortion (performed by Dr. Tiller), and all the grief that followed including the death of the baby’s father. Finally we hear about how her life has come full circle as she is a loving mother and nurse who works in urgent care to help others in their time of crisis. Maggie, thank you for letting me help you tell your story. It’s an honor to call you friend for all these years! Questions/comments? DM me on IG @themamamarketer.

I am continuing my series of chats with Kansas Libertarians. In my 43rd episode I sit down with the Libertarian Party Mises Caucus Kansas State Organizer and friend Sara. We discuss the difference between big L and little l libertarianism, the history and goals of the Mises Caucus, wokeism, and what she is currently working on. Give it a listen and reach out to either of us if you want to discuss more!

In my 42nd episode I sit down with my good friend Dan. He is a local libertarian, LPKS Candidate Recruitment Director, former LPKS Executive Committee, and a heck of a public speaker.

We talk about what brought him to the LP and LPKS (2:15), radical libertarianism (14:35), the basics of minarchism (25:40), token “radical” ideas (35:15) and then we partake in his favorite libertarian thought experiment (43:45). His question - can two consenting adults engage in cannibalism?

We also talk about his thoughts on our recent state convention (55:30), I get some things off my chest (57:30) and then we hear what Dan’s working on next (59:10).

Give it a listen and let either one of us know your thoughts!

In my 41st episode I continue my series on Libertarians in Kansas. Faith is a local activist and retired Kansas National Guard. We talk about what brought her to the LP and LPKS. We also discuss the Women’s March, last year’s primary vote, this year’s LPKS state convention, and what she’s working on next. Enjoy!

In my 40th episode I chat with my friend Matt who is a father of two, airline pilot, drone operator/entrepreneur, Political Director for the Libertarian Party of Kansas, and fellow Christian. For the first bit of time we chat about his drone business, then at the 24:25 mark we switch gears to talk about the Libertarian Party. We discuss how we met, what brought him to the party initially, and how we believe it’s a good fit for a Christian worldview.

In my 39th episode I sit down with my friend Allison (musician, writer, enneagram 8) to myth-bust polyamory and anarchism. Allison defines for us what polyamory is and isn’t, and gives us a look into her lifestyle.

At the 25:10 mark I ask her about Sister Wives and Will Smith.

At the 41:40 mark we switch gears to talk about her book, Allie Went Rogue: How Being An Outlier Helped Me Think Clearly and Live Fully.

At the 46:30 mark we talk about anarchism, again myth-busting what it is and isn’t!
