Episode 67: Questions Not to Ask in a Job Interview
David is joined this week by Andrew Crapuchettes, the past CEO of leading labor-economics firm EMSI and the founder and CEO of RedBalloon.Work. Their discussion ranges from what has escalated the present DEI insanity in corporate America to how all of this will play out. Hint: You will be encouraged by where they see this going, as labor and capital share a destination of the most rational application.

Episode 66: The Two Types of Inflation
David is joined this week by Steve Forbes, supply-side hero and flat-tax pioneer, who is the co-author of a brand new book on inflation. Steve and David go deep into the weeds of what matters in American economic policy, and, as always, the objective is intelligible, reasoned discourse, not platitudes and false prophecy.

Customer Reviews
Objection
I love this podcast and learn much from it. That said…
“Objection - leading the witness!”
“Sustained.”
High Value for the Time Investment
This podcast has intelligent speakers who come to share facts and have reasoned debates rather than rhetoric. The pace is comfortable, but not slow. They cover their points thoroughly without beating them. I strongly recommend this for anyone who wants to strengthen their understanding of how our economy works - without being spoon fed a particular point of view.
Smart & Pleasant Host + Great Guests
What a find! David Bahsen is highly knowledgeable about markets and humanity. He complements that knowledge by engaging with great guests whom he actually lets speak. Every conversation is a delight.
