I'm honored to have my friend, and Charleston city councilman, Jim McBride as a guest. In this episode we talk about Jim's role as a local politician, what motivated him to seek office, and what he's found surprising since taking on his role in municipal politics.

I've been alcohol free for well over a year and a half now. It's not something I talk a lot about but I wanted to share the benefits I've been experiencing since making the decision in the hopes that it might help someone else considering making a similar choice.

147: The Market Value of Truth
Information as power, supply and demand, arbitrage—there's an opportunity for those in the know. And it transcends markets. In this episode of The Currency Mike Gastin unpacks a different way of looking at Truth and applies it to our current situation.

146: Nannified Nonsense
I recently quit using (and paying for) Adobe's Creative Suite; a big move as I've been an Adobe user for almost 40 years. I published a video about my reasons, and my frustration with Adobe, and was surprised to see that video take off (over 90K views as of this writing). But what was interesting was a common theme among my detractors in the comments—a criticism that says more about the state of society than I think it does about me. Join me as I unpack all of it in this episode.
