The Brian D. O'Leary Show

As the Founder and President of Simbiotrek (sim-bē-ˈä-ˈtrek), Sean Kennedy wears many hats. Sean’s roles include:

Sean works with entrepreneurs and business owners to unlock the potential trapped by the structure and capacity of their current business organization, and to build beautiful businesses together.

Sean has 20+ years of experience in software development. He’s primarily concerned with Agile and Lean software, of which he is a practitioner, coach, strategist, and digital transformation leader.

We delve into Sean’s role in “digital transformation” and much more.

Sean’s clients range from:

Tom Woods

TomWoods.com

TomSchoolofLife.com

My goal is to get at least 100 people within the Tom Woods orbit on this show. We are building steady. Sean is the 5th person within Tom’s orbit to come on the pod…

First, if you don’t know who Tom Woods is, you’ve probably been living under a rock, but Tom is a benefactor of mankind…and to my intelligence level. Check out TomWoods.com for a firehose worth of great content and then work your way to TomSchoolofLife.com.

We need to keep the momentum going for this #TomWoods100 series. (And I apologize to Tom if I hijacked a hashtag he wanted &/or needed for another project…but I don’t think so.)

The point is—The O’Leary Review provides a platform for serious people to get the word out on what they are doing to make this world better.

Also— our mission is to fight back against the crazy in this world. It exists all around us and we must eliminate it.

How I met Sean.

I met Sean a few weeks back when he facilitated an accountability group within the Tom Woods School of Life that I am a part of.

“Blah blah blah…Austrian Economics…blah blah blah… I know nothing about that stuff.”

Well, you should find out. And we provide a platform here—at least on the last few shows—where you can now jump on the Austrian train with relative ease.

Over the last few podcasts, we’ve talked a bit about Austrian Economics and have provided resources in the various show notes.

The following talk, however, is also worth your time if you have any inkling to discover more about why one should pursue Austrian Economics in even its basic forms. You’ll likely discover that economics is indeed a field worth studying or exploring.

“The Attractiveness of Austrian Economics” by Tom Woods from July of 2013.

My goal is to get at least 100 people within the Tom Woods orbit on this show. We are building steady. I think Darren is the 4th.

We just need to keep the momentum going.

The point is that this show is a platform for serious people to get the word out on what they are doing to make this world better. Also—how to fight back against the crazy in this world.

In this episode, we talk about the 1999 blockbuster The Matrix, but more than that, we dive into the themes of the movie.

I came down pretty hard on the franchise earlier in the week and Nicky P called me on it.

Continuing our series on entrepreneurship, we had Sean Edrington on the podcast today. Sean has a unique story. He’s an aggressive entrepreneur, using the Substack platform in a way that not many do…

Sean also started The Swing Trading Club a few years ago…and that has another interesting backstory.

Our guest, Sean Edrington, emailed me a few weeks ago wondering if we could work together on a project.

We both have newsletters submitted to The Sample, a pretty remarkable website that curates “articles from hundreds of blogs and newsletters and send you the ones that match your interests.” Over 10,000 readers.

The Sample

This whole collaboration was new to me…

Sean said he was new to the cross-promotion thing. I am also, even though I mention and link to different newsletters and helpful websites here on our podcast and in our newsletters.

I took a look at what Sean was doing and — honestly — I don’t know of anyone else on the internet doing what he does with his Substack newsletters. Perhaps there are a few, but we’ll get into what exactly he’s doing with his Substacks…now up to at least three… here when we get going.

Point being, not everyone is going to be interested in what you do or say, but you do have an audience.

Sean is a graduate of University of Kansas.

He worked for Goldman Sachs as an analyst for about 3 years and now works with Standard C.

He uses his spare time to train in martial arts.

Spanish gold crisis

Errata: Your humble host erroneously claimed that the Spanish Republican government gave away about 90% of its gold reserves to the Russians in order to help finance its side of the Spanish Civil War.

It turns out, the “Republic” only gave away 72.6% of the total gold reserves sitting in the Bank of Spain.

Still a significant number (510 metric tons of gold) and one of many major blunders on behalf of Republican Spain.
