    Winning Without Millions: Chase Russell on Trust, Imperfection, & Campaigning

    In this episode, host Sam talks with Chase Russell, a U.S. Air Force veteran who completed multiple tours in Afghanistan and later founded Grey Eagle Strategies, one of Florida’s fastest-growing political consulting firms focused on conservative campaigns. Chase shares how his company helps principled, non-establishment candidates win without relying on millions in spending, drawing from the playbook in his new book Winning Without Millions. They discuss Florida’s budget surpluses under Ron DeSantis, the upcoming property-tax amendment, the power of grassroots campaigning, why authenticity beats over-polished images, the declining effectiveness of attack ads among younger voters, and why everyday Americans should consider running for local office. - Visit https://www.chaserussellofficial.com/ to pre-order Chase's book, "Winning Without Millions," and to subscribe to the email newsletter to stay up to date on all things happening in politics. - To find all my deals, visit: https://mydeals.page/7fu7  - Want to be a guest on Shades of Jade Podcast?

    Fauci, Biden, & the DSA: Trust, Decline, and Empty Slogans

    In this episode, host Sam reunites with filmmaker Sara Alessandrini and longtime podcaster Billy Dees for a wide-ranging conversation on the lasting fallout from COVID-era decision-making. They dig into Anthony Fauci’s recent testimony and the broader credibility crisis it has fueled, the censorship of scientific dissent, regional differences in lockdown experiences from Italy and Los Angeles to Ohio and Iowa, and the erosion of public trust in health officials, media, and celebrities. The discussion also turns to Joe Biden’s cognitive decline, the framing of his final campaign, speculation about Hunter Biden’s political future, and the tension between politicians’ personal lives and their actual records in office. - Want to be a guest on Shades of Jade Podcast?

    Opening the Ballot: How All Votes Count Iowa Is Fighting for Fairer Voting

    In this episode, host Sam sits down with Katie Roth, a longtime Iowa political activist and co-founder of the nonpartisan nonprofit All Votes Count Iowa. Roth explains how Iowa’s current primary rules automatically change an independent voter’s party registration when they request a Republican or Democratic ballot—creating privacy concerns, administrative hassle, and a barrier that discourages many from participating. She shares the organization’s goal of eliminating that requirement so more Iowans can vote in primaries without being forced into a party label, while also touching on ranked-choice voting, the power of primary elections, the challenges of civic engagement, and practical ways everyday people can get involved. Listeners will hear why small, fairness-focused reforms matter and how to support the effort at https://allvotescountiowa.org - To find all my deals, visit: https://mydeals.page/7fu7  - Want to be a guest on Shades of Jade Podcast?

    From Mines to Missiles: Rebuilding the West’s Critical Minerals Supply Chain

    In this episode, host Sam talks with Tomasz Nadrowski, a New York-based portfolio manager and the author of Mineral War: China's Quest for Weapons of Mineral Destruction. Nadrowski explains how the West allowed China to monopolize the mining, processing, and refining of minerals essential for everything from smartphones and semiconductors to missiles and defense systems, and why simply digging more rock in the U.S. isn’t enough. They discuss the loss of metallurgical and engineering expertise, the slow pace of permitting reform, the difficulty of rebuilding smelting capacity, the difference between competition and true geopolitical conflict, and why allies such as Canada, Australia, Japan, and Taiwan will be crucial to any recovery. Listeners also hear practical insights into the roles of geologists, metallurgists, and engineers, plus Nadrowski’s optimistic take on attracting a new generation into the industry. - Find Tomasz’s book here: Amazon.com: Mineral War: China’s Quest for Weapons of Mineral Destruction eBook : Nadrowski, Tomasz: Kindle Store  - Find the Amvest Terraden website here: https://www.amvestterraden.com/media  - To find all my deals, visit: https://mydeals.page/7fu7  - Want to be a guest on Shades of Jade Podcast?
