Voting alone hasn't been enough and people are finally asking why. In this episode, I sit down with Rodney Glover, a gubernatorial candidate who's running on a bold idea: giving citizens constitutional, binding authority to hold elected officials accountable beyond the ballot box.

This is where real issues meet real change:

• Why voting every few years isn't real accountability
• How power drifted away from the people
• What citizen-led oversight could actually look like and why it's important
• The difference between symbolic reform and structural change
• Why this race isn't about left versus right, it's about control versus consent

This is a conversation about who actually holds power and how that could actually change.

We're constantly told that we need to get out and vote to make a difference, yet it's not about the voting numbers this time around as much as it's about who we're listening to, who we're trusting with our voices and our lives, and if we decide it's time to break away from the same old system that's not working for the people.

Join the conversation. Question everything. Change the game.

Where does our money actually go?

I'm talking - Taxes. Insurance. Medical bills. Loans. Interest. Fees.

Every month your paycheck gets drained before it even hits your hand - and most Americans have no idea how deep the system goes.

This episode of From Dirt We Grow breaks down the real money trail in our country:

• Why working-class citizens pay the most
• How healthcare and insurance became legal rackets
• How loans and interest keep you trapped for life
• How tax dollars are diverted away from the people
• How the system quietly profits from your struggle

This isn't about bad budgeting or personal responsibility, it's about the system engineered to keep 60% of Americans financially stuck while corporations and the wealthy thrive.

Are you tired of living paycheck to paycheck? Confused about where your hard-earned money goes? Ready for the true thieves behind the legal financial trap we're kept in to be revealed? Regardless of the reason you're here, you're in the right place; and this is the episode for you.

As California looks ahead to its next chapter of leadership, many voters are asking an important question: What comes after Gavin Newsom? This episode provides an answer to Who comes next... Jesse Alberti!

This episode provides a glimpse into, what could be the turning point the USA needs right now, the grassroots efforts of the many running for public office in 2026. Mr. Alberti shares with us:

• What led him to run, now
• Where his ideas align and differ from current policies
• What a grassroots campaign looks like in a system built for insiders
• Changes he has in store for furthering the prosperity of California

Be sure to tune in. These conversations aren't just for the people who live in the states we're talking about. The candidates I have featured thus far on From Dirt We Grow are representing ideas values and futures that affect all of us.

What's happening in one state doesn't stay there. If we want real change, we have to shift away from what hasn't been working - and that starts by actually hearing from grassroots candidates, everywhere, and voting for them.
