    Preachers, Politics, and Freakin’ Franklin Graham

    What started as accidentally discovering that someone I know is in the middle of MAGA psychosis, turned into a think piece that includes: Bob Jones University, Mormon soaking, Franklin Graham’s dumb face and even dumber Facebook posts, religious loopholes, and a conversation about nuance and the people who don’t understand it. I thought about making this a paid-member-only episode because I am always a little scared to talk about politics online, but I decided that I hadn’t earned the right to 2 back-to-back paid-only episodes YET, and that this was a broad conversation that needs to be heard. To combat my nervousness about talking politics on the Internet, there’s no video version, because somehow that makes it better 🤣 - enjoy! THINGS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE (aka, sources matter): * Erin Meryl Mcgurk’s reel * Bob Jones University Student Handbook https://dl.icdst.org/pdfs/files/679183c501c6ffaab11c7098601b5b5c.pdf * BJU “position statements” https://www.bju.edu/about/positions.php * Franklin Graham’s stupid post: https://www.facebook.com/FranklinGraham/posts/pfbid0ZmTXktL7L9EMNKooPwFCddF89GXGdHSfjM49UhfGe6ai1xFoqZrZCQRxgvmbYVdYl * BJU employee arrested https://www.yahoo.com/news/us/articles/2-upstate-men-charged-child-004821839.html This is a public episode.

    Online Courses, digital products, and the business of selling a dream

    Welcome to the first edition of THE LOUD PART™, a new weekly podcast that you can watch on YouTube, listen to here, or listen to on any podcast player! In this episode: The only real way to start this podcast, where I plan to go deep on cultural topics that actually matter, is to start in my backyard with the industry that I live in. Let me actually slip a little ad in here too, while you’re reading! FreshBooks was my FIRST sponsor on my FIRST podcast back in 2015, so to have them as a sponsor of the FIRST episode of my NEW podcast is WILD. When it comes to running an authentic, ethical business, I think one of the best things you can do is to do a service for people; find a skill you have that people are willing to pay for and send an invoice - easy peasy. With FreshBooks Lite, it’s even easier to invoice, manage clients, organize your business finances and more because WITH THIS LINK, you can get FreshBooks Lite for $1/month for the next 12 months 😳. I dunno, seems like a no-brainer for solopreneurs to me. We’re going to take a look at where the online course world started, how it’s MLM-adjacent, and why the skeptics are big mad about the industry and the industry is big mad about the skeptics calling them out. New episodes every week! We veer into the world of why it’s ok to call this industry out now as someone who is technically a part of it, but how it would have been career suicide 10 years ago. Honestly, I talked for over an hour and a half and still didn’t really drill home the point that the problem with these courses is that they’re a dream wrapped in Hormozi-flavored bacon, and when you sell a dream instead of a tactic, it leans scammy in nature.
