Immigration, done legally, has brought blessings to many. Immigrants have enriched our nation and helped us become a diverse and prosperous country. A secure border protects citizens and immigrants, but an open border endangers everyone. What is the truth about the border crisis? How can you know which reports are accurate? The current administration’s open-border policies have allowed adult and child sex and labor trafficking, drug trafficking, and crime to affect our entire nation. Our tax dollars support the chaos, while many of our own citizens suffer. Our tax dollars protect borders in other countries, why not in ours? Ben Bergquam, founder of Frontline America and the host of “Law and Border” on Real America’s Voice, joined Linda to share truthful examples about what is really happening at our southern border. Every town is now a border town as the invasion of illegals continues to overwhelm the system and bring heartbreak and devastation to the millions of people caught in the crosshairs of power and corruption. How can you stop it? Listen today to learn how you can support legal immigration and protect innocent people from being misled and injured by policies of an open border. © Copyright 2023, Prosperity 101, LLC --------------------------------------------------------------------- For information and resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity by Linda J.

He is now Chairman of the National Committee for Religious Freedom, an organization formed to proactively defend the constitutional rights of religious freedom so all Americans can peacefully and publicly exercise their religious beliefs.

Many immigrants, especially those from Communist countries, share concerns over the direction America is headed. Pleas to not let America become like the country they left are nearly universal, and the frustration and fear they express as they watch America decline is often very emotional. Linda’s guest, Vilson Simon, holds dual citizenship in the USA and Brazil. He shares his perspectives on the rapid declines seen in both countries and provides suggestions for protecting liberty in America and worldwide. © Copyright 2023, Prosperity 101, LLC --------------------------------------------------------------------- For information and resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity by Linda J.

When countries collapse, people flee to seek opportunity and freedom. What happens if America’s economy collapses? There is no place for us to flee. We are still the last, best hope for freedom in the world. If we are wise, we will look to history for examples of once prosperous countries with economic systems that promised prosperity, but eventually delivered poverty and devastation. How does that happen? What are the warning signs? Linda’s guest, Jorge Galicia, is from Venezuela. His country experienced economic collapse under regime policies of tyranny and control, and Jorge’s life was forever disrupted and changed. His insights and experiences provide wisdom, so we do not make the same mistakes in America. © Copyright 2023, Prosperity 101, LLC --------------------------------------------------------------------- For information and resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity by Linda J.

Running a business in today’s culture is often challenging, especially if you are determined to do so while honoring your faith and moral convictions. Pressures to comply with mandates that contradict your faith can be overwhelming. How can Christian business leaders and faith-driven entrepreneurs fully serve customers and employees while maintaining a commitment to honor God with their business? Linda introduces listeners to Christian Employers Alliance (CEA), an organization of business owners and leaders who boldly stand for Biblical values on Capitol Hill and in their local communities. Linda’s guest, Shannon Royce, shares the many ways CEA works to unite, equip, and represent Christian business owners to protect religious freedom and provide opportunities to flourish. As we unite, we truly can be salt and light in business, which will impact the world for Christ and bless our employees and others.

Imagine you are on a road trip. All is packed, the destination is in your GPS, and you set off on your business trip, family gathering, or vacation. Everything is going fine, and you are enjoying the ride in your new electric vehicle (EV). However, in the middle of nowhere your vehicle develops trouble and you must stop. Is it the engine? No, upon review you discover your vehicle was stopped because you exceeded your carbon allotment, or possibly because you posted questionable content on your social media. While this may seem crazy, the possibility exists. Linda’s guest, Tom Pyle from the Institute for Energy Research and American Energy Alliance, raises the alarm regarding EV mandates, gas stove bans, and other important energy issues. Learn how these mandates affect you, and make sure you are not taken for a ride that drives into oblivion. © Copyright 2023, Prosperity 101, LLC For information and resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity by Linda J.

Protecting national security while guarding individual rights is a role of government. However, Big Government often overrides our rights when deciding how to manage real or perceived threats. The recently proposed RESTRICT ACT is a perfect example of government overreach and invasive micromanagement of citizens. Linda’s guest, Connor O’Keeffe from the Mises Institute, shares examples of why this legislation does more to restrict freedom than to preserve it. Don’t let your freedoms be restricted with the RESTRICT ACT. Listen today and learn how you can protect your rights. © Copyright 2023, Prosperity 101, LLC For information and resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity by Linda J.

Education in America used to focus on reading, writing, arithmetic, and critical thinking. That’s not as true today, unfortunately. Deviating from high educational standards and core American values has led to societal upheaval and a generation ignorant of the blessings and responsibilities of living in a free society. Teaching young people how to think, not what to think, prepares them for adulthood, and empowering them with truth prepares them for leadership. What can business owners do to support school choice, especially homeschooling, and how can doing so increase their bottom line? Linda and her guest, Robert Bortins, CEO of Classical Conversations, discuss this and the benefits of a well-educated populace for the future of our nation. Freedom can be lost in one generation. Let’s make sure it is not lost in ours. © Copyright 2023, Prosperity 101, LLC For information and resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity by Linda J.

Like most Americans, you may have taken our previously strong dollar for granted. The dominance of the US dollar on the world stage is something that seemed to be permanent. The dollar has been the world’s reserve currency for the last 80 years, but things are happening now that threaten the position of dominance. What does it mean to you or to your business? Listen as Linda interviews well-known economists, EJ Antoni and Peter St Onge, to explore the demise of the dollar and the effects on our US economy and on your life. © Copyright 2023, Prosperity 101, LLC -------------------------------- For information and resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity by Linda J.

The recent collapse of several banks, including Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), has awakened people to the fragility of our financial security. The banking system in the US and around the world is teetering amidst unstable currencies, disastrous fiscal policies, woke ideologies, and poor leadership promoting a globalist agenda, cashless society, and a privacy-eliminating digital currency. Linda’s guest, well-known economist EJ Antoni, discusses the roots of the SVB collapse and helps listeners understand how the overall crisis affects individuals and our nation. He also provides policy recommendations to help us navigate to a more prosperous and secure future. © Copyright 2023, Prosperity 101, LLC -------------------------------- For information and resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity by Linda J.

America is a nation of immigrants. The rich diversity of our population is part of what makes America such an amazing place. We have always welcomed people from all over the world. Immigration, done legally, is meant to enrich lives and society overall. Today, our immigration system is broken, causing harm to immigrants and American citizens. You may have heard the phrase, "Every town is a border town,” but most people are unaware of how true this is and are likely unaware of the magnitude of the crisis happening at our southern border and with our immigration system, in general. Linda’s guest is border expert and best-selling author, Todd Bensman, from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS). Todd offers somber warnings and keen insights into identifying and solving the border crisis now and for the future. ©Copyright 2023, Prosperity 101, LLC -------------------------------- For information and resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity by Linda J.

What policies are essential if we want to promote freedom and prosperity? While politicians and pundits claim to have all the answers, there are proven principles and policies that have been shown over time to bring increased economic prosperity for governments and individuals. We are blessed in America to have fifty states that can be viewed as laboratories for democracy, all working out the policies that will enhance or inhibit prosperity. In this episode, Linda and her guest, Jonathan Williams from the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), discuss ALEC’s new resource, Essential Policy Solutions for 2023.

When you vote in local, state, or national elections, will your vote count? How can you be sure? Our election system is designed to ensure every citizen the right to vote and for that vote to be counted fairly and accurately. We typically choose one candidate for each position, but a new idea called Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) has been spreading with potentially disastrous results. Kerri Toloczko, National Networks Director at The Election Integrity Network, discussed with Linda various ways RCV has wreaked havoc in elections and how citizens can be on the alert to stop it. Every person, regardless of political opinions, should be able to vote without risk of their ballot being discarded or invalidated, which can easily happen when RCV is in place. Protect your vote.

Success after…What does that mean to you? Success after what? College? A military career? Illness? Addiction? Financial devastation? Success can mean different things to different people but having freedom to define your path to success is essential.

Swimming upstream, or against the current, is typically not beneficial unless you are salmon. Yet, we often do so when it comes to public policy, and this is quite evident in energy policy. We have reliable, clean, affordable, and safe energy resources and technology, yet we insist on promoting, subsidizing, and mandating technologies that are less reliable and efficient. How can we stabilize our energy grid while using all relevant technologies to maximize benefits for consumers, businesses, and our nation? Wayne B. Stoltenberg, Linda’s guest, has decades of experience in the energy industry and is Chairman of the Institute for Policy Innovation. His common-sense policy recommendations provide win-win solutions for creating a secure and prosperous future. ©Copyright 2023, Prosperity 101, LLC -------------------------------- For information and resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity by Linda J.
