Ukraine. Russia. Energy. Government power.

Everyone has a take — very few have firsthand experience.

In this episode of The Middle Ground Mic, Joe Steagall sits down with entrepreneur and investor Joe Edgar, who has built companies in Ukraine, worked inside U.S. government funding systems, and lived the reality behind the headlines.

This isn’t cheerleading. It isn’t propaganda. And it isn’t partisan spin.

We break down:
 – Why Ukraine isn’t the simple good-vs-evil story you’re being sold
 – How energy policy, clean tech, and geopolitics actually intersect
 – The uncomfortable truth about government incentives, corruption, and power
 – Why libertarians, conservatives, and progressives all miss key parts of this debate

No left. No right. Forward.
