He joined us to dive into that excellent news as well as other heartening developments regarding regulations in general. Paul, a senior fellow at the National Center for Energy Analytics, discussed the recent developments in energy policy and regulations. In addition to highlighting the EPA's proposal to repeal the 2009 Endangerment Finding, he emphasized the need for a unified national energy policy and criticized state-level regulations. He also discussed the potential for a nuclear renaissance, advocating for large reactors and private equity involvement. Paul also expressed optimism about the current administration's direction but warned that significant efforts are needed to address remaining regulations and legal challenges.

It was an absolute treat having the legendary Mike Rowe on as our guest a couple months ago. In addition to covering his new partnership with wireless provider PureTalk to help attract America's military vets to skilled trades work, Mike and I got to chat about some other vital topics. This bit about authenticity is one of the most compelling messages Mike brought us, and I think it carries tremendous value for pretty much every area of business today.

It was an absolute treat having the legendary Mike Rowe on as our guest a couple months ago. In addition to covering his new partnership with wireless provider PureTalk to help attract America's military vets to skilled trades work, Mike and I got to chat about some other vital topics. One of those came from a book recommendations Mike brought our way. I just finished Nicholas Eberstadt's excellent *Men Without Work,* detailing the cratering of workforce participation rates among able-bodied US men. There are a lot of factors contributing to that, but Mike really hammered the work ethic portion of the problem. Tune in and hear his emphatic warning about this problem. I will add a point I've made in recent months, that our country's relentless war on productive industry - mining and manufacturing - over the past five decades has also been a war on the kind of jobs a lot of men are naturally inclined to do.

My appearance on last week's episode of the "Irregardless" podcast hosted by Shep Hickey and sponsored by his company Bryzos continues to be a bright spot in my whole summer. In this clip Shep and I discuss the most important reason we have to reinvigorate America's national productive capacity, and that is our national security. I point out that we're in a tougher place right now than we were in back on the cusp of WWII. The full episode is available on all major platforms 👉 https://bit.ly/45GPZjk
