    Make Mississippi Great by Educating Students about Economics, Investing, and Fiance

    Making Mississippi Great by Educating Our Students About Economics In this episode of Make Mississippi Great, we tackle a foundational issue that affects every family, every career path, and every future paycheck: economic literacy. Too many young people—and frankly, too many adults—enter the real world without understanding basic financial and economic principles like supply and demand, opportunity cost, incentives, debt, and long-term decision-making. The result? Hard-working people making costly financial mistakes that could have been avoided with better education early on. In this conversation, we explore why teaching economics and personal finance to school-age children and young adults isn’t political—it’s practical. These are universal truths that apply whether you’re a teacher, a tradesman, an entrepreneur, a farmer, or a healthcare worker. We also discuss: Why the law of supply and demand is as real and unavoidable as gravityThe difference between theories and economic lawsHow poor financial habits often start young—and compound over a lifetimeWhy understanding opportunity cost is critical to making smarter decisionsHow better education can lead to stronger families, stronger communities, and a stronger MississippiThis episode is especially important for parents, educators, young adults, and anyone who feels like they were never taught “how money really works.” If we want to make Mississippi’s future great, it starts with equipping the next generation with the knowledge to make wise, informed financial decisions.

    14 Reasons Why Mississippians Aren’t Leaving

    14 Reasons Why Mississippians Aren’t Leaving This episode is a direct response to a widely shared article claiming that Mississippians are packing up and leaving in droves. You may have seen it. I read it, and I came away with a very different perspective. In this episode, I walk through 14 reasons why Mississippians aren’t leaving—and why the narrative that Mississippi is a state in decline misses important context. From cost of living and community to opportunity, culture, and plain common sense, I offer a viewpoint that doesn’t get much airtime. This conversation is candid, personal, and unapologetically Mississippi. If you love this state—or if you’re tired of seeing it reduced to headlines and stereotypes—this episode is for you. This also marks the beginning of Papa D’s Corner as both a podcast and a YouTube series, where I’ll be discussing real-world issues, current events, and occasionally pushing back when the story being told doesn’t match everyday reality.
