It's Election Day everyone! Aren't you excited to give the "best" of us the keys to the worlds largest superpower? Doesn't the field of candidates leave with you brimming with confidence about the direction of the country? Yeah, me neither.

That being said, Election Day is still one of the most important non-holiday days on the calendar in our modern world. It's the day when The People get to decide who runs a government that's supposed to be (in theory) "of the people, by the people, for the people."

So if we're supposed to be represented in our representative government, why doesn't it feel like our vote matters at all? What is our election process supposed to look like? And how do we get from where we are toward the ideal that the system is supposed to live up to? Tune in this week to find out!

Honor. Faith. Duty. Loyalty. When you hear these words, maybe you think of knights in days gone by, or maybe you think of some modern soldier defending your freedom on the front lines. Either way, while these are most attributed to military men, honor is something achievable for all.

So what is honor? What does it mean to live a honorable life? And is honor something we need to think about every day, or is it enough to do your best to be a good person? We discuss all that and more this week, so tune in!

The word "radical" can mean so many things, and most of them can be pretty bad. It could mean some really confusing math symbols, Something to do with molecules, radiation, and death, or someone you see on the news surrounded by assault rifles. In any of these cases, it seems the best course of action is to avoid the radicals.

But are radicals really as bad as they seem? What role do they play in our public discourse? And what makes them so radical anyway? Join us this week as we talk about all of that and so much more!

We all want to be a millionaire, right? But when it turns out that not everyone get to be rich, some people say that it isn't fair, and we need to tax the rich. Why is that? Why do some people think we need to take away from the rich to give to the poor? Who even are "the rich" we are supposed to tax, and who gets the money taken from the rich?

Join us this week as we take the slogan "Tax the Rich" head on, and discuss the idea of economic value. We also talk about the standards by which we judge who exactly is "rich" and by who's standards, as well as how to increase your economic value. Tune in to find out more!

Do you remember learning about the Civil Rights movement in history class? If you listen to the media these days, it sounds like we're still living in the segregation era. Why are we still having these talk about racial equality all these years later?

Join us this week as we take a look at what racism is (and what it isn't). We discuss why we can't even agree on what racism looks like, and the different ways of defining what is racist. We also discuss the difference between race and culture, and what it means to live in a diverse society.

Enjoy this new kind of episode that we're going to be doing every once in a while, where we take a more laid-back approach to talking about life. There's no agenda, no distinct point, just some observations from my vast 27 years on this planet. If we look at the day to day, maybe we can notice some truths that we can use to make ourselves better people.

I think greatness is out there for all of us, and I think no matter who you are, there is something you can do to achieve it. Join us today as we take a look at what it means to achieve greatness, what does greatness look like, and what can we do to achieve it.

Freedom is an inherent part of the American Culture, but why is that? Why should people be allowed to be free? Should we be able to take care of ourselves, or do we need the government to stand in?

Listen now as we explore the idea of freedom, and the level of freedom we should be allowed to have. We talk about the balance of personal liberty and government oversight, and what the role of government is in a free society. I hope you find it as interesting as I did!

We're 3 episodes into our journey to explore the truth! But what even is truth? Where do we find it? Can we even find it at all? You have to know what truth is to know what you're looking for.

Join us this week as we explore what the truth really is. We talk about what truth is, as well as where it comes from (and where it doesn't). Most importantly, we discuss how much of it we actually have, and how we can always find more of it!

Why should we believe it? Tune in to find out!
