#135: Dave Rubin - Why Thinking For Yourself Is The Most Important Thing You Can Do Right Now
Dave Rubin's journey from a left leaning progressive to a free thinking classical liberal has been quite an adventure. As a gay married man living in America, Dave spent the majority of his adult life subscribing to a certain political belief system based primarily on his immutable characteristics. Fed up with the mainstream media narrative and click-bait news, Dave decided to open up about his awakening, for all to see. He came to realize that no person or idea should be expected to join a side, but rather they should embrace their status as an individual.
In this episode, Dave and I discuss:
- His "political awakening"
- Cancel culture
- Censorship
- Why we are living out George Orwell's '1984'
-& so much more

Seth is an entrepreneur, best-selling author, and speaker. In addition to launching one of the most popular blogs in the world, he has written 19 best-selling books, including The Dip, Linchpin, Purple Cow, Tribes, and What To Do When It's Your Turn.

Seth also founded two companies, Squidoo and Yoyodyne (acquired by Yahoo!).
In 2013, Seth was one of just three professionals inducted into the Direct Marketing Hall of Fame. In an astonishing turn of events, in May 2018, he was inducted into the Marketing Hall of Fame as well. He might be the only person in both.
