Walk-Ins Welcome with Bridget Phetasy E144. Reed Coverdale Works To Be An Example That Inspires People
Reed Coverdale is a trucker and host of the podcast The Naturalist Capitalist, which he often podcasts from the cab of his truck. Reed believes that if you can connect people who understand what isn't working to the root cause of why it isn't working in an effective way, you can create a movement. He and Bridget discuss the gap between the people having "the conversation" in media and politics vs. the real people on the ground in America. They cover libertarianism, why overzealous corporate safety measures can often become the very reason for accidents and injuries, the disconnect between the culture war and politics, why honest discourse has become increasingly more difficult as most people wind up arguing about the definitions of words, practicing what you preach, and why being a trucker gives you a healthy perspective of humanity. He also shares his scariest moments working on power lines and as a trucker, as well as the recent car accident that left him grateful to be alive.
