EXIT Podcast

@DegreeStudies is back to talk about the Musk Twitter purchase, the RW blackpilling in response to the midterm fiasco, and the desire to lead versus the desire to serve.

It's been just over a year; a good time to take stock of what we've accomplished, and what's next.

Christian is an EXIT member who is one year into his fintech startup, raposa.trade, which an algorithmic trading platform that allows investors to create their own trading bots without code. We discuss the lessons of the first year, the surprises that came at launch, and why this project is his dream.

Paul Tijerina owns superhumantransformation.com, a health and wellness coaching business. We discuss how to monetize obsession, the psychospiritual component of motivation and discipline, and how to pound the pavement.

I love doing the EXIT Podcast, but I'm realizing it doesn't give you a clear picture of what EXIT looks like on the inside -- so this week we're doing something a little different. Two EXIT members have volunteered to have a discussion about their entrepreneurial ideas on the air, just like we would do on the entrepreneurship call, or a Hot Seat. Josh Tobler runs a digital marketing agency (longtaildragon.com) and is interested in expanding his business while continuing to serve small clients. Kyle Albert is a software developer who is looking to build side businesses that can eventually replace his W-2 job.

Abbie Platt is a friend of mine, and is leading the resistance against CRT, sex education, and mask mandates in the Loudoun County public schools in Northern Virginia. We discuss how this situation got out of hand for years under parents' noses, how COVID remote schooling woke them up, and what they're doing to fight it.

Harry is an EXIT member, and founder of becomepluribus.com, a product to help insure content creators against the threat of cancellation through pledged contributions. We discuss how he got the project off the ground without Learning to Code, and the huge downstream impacts that are possible from projects like these.

Cody blew up on Twitter last year after quitting his job as a physician's assistant - now he has left healthcare altogether, writes fiction and is starting a construction business. We wanted to talk about the experience of leaving behind a substantial investment in a credentialed job like that, and why more and more guys in bug jobs are heading in that direction.

Brett is a published novelist who runs our content creation call. We talk about how he closed a multi-book deal with a major retailer, and how that deal fell apart because they didn't like his tweets. Fortunately, self-publishing has come a long way - we discuss his forays into that world, also the eternal anon vs face debate, & policy solutions that could make free speech easier.

Conversation with EXIT member John Dell about being goof-off subsidized homesteaders, making friends out in the country, getting the fellas together irl, etc.
