The Real Reason Americans Are Losing Faith in Free Markets | Alexander McCobin

Capitalism has its lowest approval rating in America in more than 20 years. Alexander McCobin believes that's not because capitalism failed. It's because too few business leaders are willing to explain what capitalism actually is. As founder and CEO of Liberty Ventures, Alexander is building a network of investors, executives, and entrepreneurs committed to creating value, growing businesses, and proving that capitalism can be a force for good. Kurt and Alexander explore why capitalism is often misunderstood, how cronyism gets confused with free markets, why values-driven companies outperform short-term thinking, and what entrepreneurs can do to become better representatives of capitalism. They also discuss the growth of Liberty Ventures, the success of companies like Angel Studios and Boom Supersonic, and the vision to build a movement of one million capitalists who are actively shaping a freer and more prosperous future. Changing people's minds about capitalism doesn't start with politics. It starts with business leaders building companies worth believing in. 0:00 Intro 04:59 What Capitalism Is and Isn't 11:07 Why Liberty Ventures Exists 15:40 Angel Studios and Values Based Growth 21:10 Why Values Drive Better Profits 23:01 Boom Supersonic and Entrepreneurial Innovation 28:53 Building One Million Capitalists 31:11 Lightning Round Resources Mentioned: Liberty Ventures https://libertyventures.vc/ Principled Business Summit https://www.principledbusiness.org/summit Angel Studios https://angel.com Boom Supersonic https://boomsupersonic.com Capitalists for Capitalism Magazine https://www.capitalistsforcapitalism.com/ Exodus 90 https://exodus90.com 🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.

How Seth Greene Uses Podcasting to Generate Clients Without a Massive Audience

Most people start a podcast hoping for more downloads, bigger rankings, or a larger audience. Seth Greene built his strategy around a different outcome. Instead of treating podcasting as a media business, he uses it to create access to the people who already have the trust of his ideal customers. Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt sit down with Seth to unpack why podcasts may be the greatest relationship building tool ever invented, how the DREAM 50 strategy creates partnerships with "co-opetition" businesses that already serve your ideal clients, and why the real value of a podcast often comes long after the interview ends. They also dive into AI generated podcasts, answer engine optimization, voice cloning, and how businesses are using audio content to build authority as search behavior shifts from websites to AI summaries. Underneath the tactics is a simple idea: Access to the right people creates more business opportunities than attention from the wrong audience. 0:00 Intro 06:35 The DREAM 50 Relationship Strategy 12:19 Overcoming the Fear of Podcasting 18:43 Success Beyond Downloads and Rankings 24:41 Turning Podcast Guests Into Business Opportunities 29:56 AI Podcasts and Answer Engine Authority 35:56 Turning Content Into Ongoing Sales Assets 40:27 Lightning Round Resources Mentioned: Book with Seth https://bookwithseth.com Market Domination LLC https://marketdominationllc.com The Ultimate Podcast Guest Book https://www.ultimatepodcastbook.com SharkPreneur Podcast https://marketdominationllc.com/education/sharkpreneur/ 🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.

Why This Green Beret Rejected Prestige to Build a One-Man Ranch | Max Krupp

Max Krupp spent 28 years in Special Forces operating inside high pressure systems where responsibility could not be handed off to someone else. When retirement came, the next step looked obvious. Corporate leadership. Consulting. Executive life. But instead, Max Krupp bought cattle and land and built a one man ranch where he still handles nearly every part of the operation himself. Kristen Luidhardt and Max unpack why he rejected aggressive scaling, why he turns down opportunities to grow faster, and why more customers are looking for direct trust instead of anonymous systems. And somewhere underneath the cattle, land, and business decisions is a bigger question about what kind of life is actually worth building. 0:00 Intro 02:30 Special Forces and Operating in Ambiguity 05:47 Rejecting the Corporate Path 12:27 The Culture Shift That Accelerated Retirement 15:19 Mentoring Ranchers and Avoiding Mistakes 20:16 Inside a One Man Ranch 25:12 Why This Business Does Not Scale 28:56 Building Through Referrals Instead of Marketing 33:46 Custodianship From Ranch to Customer 35:34 Why Max Krupp Shares Knowledge Freely 41:06 Reconnecting People With Agriculture 43:00 Lightning Round Resources Mentioned: Halo K Cattle Co. https://halokcattle.com/ https://www.instagram.com/halokcattle/ 🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.

Why Believers Can’t Stop Creating in the Age of AI | Joanna Hunt

People are flooding the internet with AI-generated content faster than ever, making authentic human stories more necessary than ever–especially for believers who want to shape culture instead of letting algorithms shape it for us. Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt sit down with bestselling ghostwriter and Silversmith Press founder Joanna Hunt to explore writing, publishing, storytelling, creativity, and why readers still recognize genuine human experience in a world driven by algorithms and automation. The conversation explores authorship, Christian entrepreneurship, faith driven influence, and the responsibility creators carry when culture is increasingly shaped online. The more artificial the world becomes, the more powerful authentic human creativity becomes. 0:00 Intro 02:40 Why Writing Changes the Author 09:07 Why Most People Never Start Writing 14:21 The Power of Mentors and Book Coaches 19:42 Taking on the Identity of an Author 25:44 Building a Publishing Company Around Authenticity 31:00 Why AI Cannot Replace Human Creativity 36:43 Healing, Memory, and Emotional Expression Through Writing 41:33 Why Believers Must Help Shape Culture 45:03 Lightning Round Resources Mentioned: Silversmith Press https://www.silversmithpress.com/ Connect with Joanna: https://www.instagram.com/wonder_writer/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/joanna-k-hunt 🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.

Churches Surrendered Authority to the State. This Is How We Recover It | Gabriel Rench

America didn’t lose its political footing overnight. Gabriel Rench argues the deeper collapse happened earlier, inside churches, families, and the slow separation of faith from everyday life. Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt sit down with Gabe, co-host of CrossPolitic and founder of Fight Laugh Feast, to unpack why politics became downstream from culture and why culture became downstream from discipleship. The conversation explores the three biblical spheres of government, the limits of civil authority, the role of pastors in political issues, and why strong churches and faithful families create long term cultural stability faster than elections ever can. He also recounts his arrest during Moscow, Idaho’s COVID restrictions after participating in outdoor Psalm singing protests that later became a national story about religious liberty and government overreach. This episode is for business owners, parents, and leaders trying to understand how cultural decline spreads long before it reaches politics. 0:00 Introduction 05:03 The Three Biblical Governments 10:40 What Christian Nationalism Actually Means 15:47 How America Lost Its Christian Heritage 20:57 Why Politics Is Downstream From Culture 26:11 Should Pastors Tell Christians How To Vote? 31:33 Politics, Pride, and Self-Righteousness 38:26 Arrested For Singing During COVID 45:43 Lightning Round Resources Mentioned: Connect with Gabe https://gaberench.com/ CrossPolitic https://crosspolitic.com/ Fight Laugh Feast https://fightlaughfeast.com/ Business Makers Network https://businessmakers.network/ Rowdy Christian https://rowdychristian.com/ Rusty Rench https://rustyrench.com/ Patriots for Idaho https://patriotsforidaho.com/ 🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.
