  • The Parent Revolution Is Just Getting Started with Dr. Corey DeAngelis | LPP 204
    Jun 25 2026

    Parents are tired of being told to sit down, be quiet, and trust the system. They saw what happened during school shutdowns. They saw what their kids were being taught. They saw learning loss, political agendas, falling standards, and too many excuses from education bureaucracies.

    And parents started asking a basic question: Why should children be trapped in schools that do not serve them?

    That is why I enjoyed this conversation with Dr. Corey DeAngelis, one of the nation’s leading voices for school choice and parental rights. Corey is the author of The Parent Revolution: Rescuing Your Kids from the Radicals Ruining Our Schools and has been one of the most effective advocates for letting education dollars follow students, not systems.

    He previously joined me on the Let People Prosper Show to discuss the parent revolution and school choice. This follow-up matters because the school choice movement has not slowed down. It is accelerating.

  • Why Work Supports Prosperity | This Week's Economy Ep. 169
    Jun 22 2026

    The surest path to prosperity is a job. Work provides more than a paycheck—it offers dignity, purpose, and the chance to build crucial skills and relationships. Unfortunately, government policies too often make it harder for people to work, hire, and adapt to changing economic realities. From occupational licensing and other labor regulations to outdated rules that fail to reflect today’s workforce, barriers to work can limit opportunity and economic mobility.

    In today’s episode of This Week’s Economy, we’ll explore how policy shapes labor markets, why the nature of work is changing, and what policymakers can do to remove barriers so more Americans can work, earn, and prosper.

  • Politics Needs Fewer Tribes and More Humans with Dr. Lura Forcum | LPP 203
    Jun 18 2026

    Politics has become too angry, too tribal, and too disconnected from real life. Too many people are tired of being forced into red or blue boxes. They are tired of politicians treating disagreement like war. They are tired of the media, campaigns, and algorithms rewarding outrage over understanding.

    That’s why I enjoyed this conversation with Dr. Lura Forcum, who writes at How to Human on Substack. Lura studies people, politics, and persuasion. She brings a rare mix of policy experience, consumer psychology, communications strategy, and practical wisdom about why voters think the way they do. And her message is timely: if we want better politics, we need to understand people better.

    In this episode of the Let People Prosper Show, we talk about independent voters, polarization, persuasion, trust, and why America needs more human connection and less political rage.
