I hope this finds you all in good health and spirit. As each day passes following the death of Charlie Kirk, it seems that the process of taking over the media has been put on an accelerated time table. Media companies are getting snatched up by Trump friendly billionaires with each passing day, and soon there will be no dissenters remaining to speak truth to power. Our freedom of speech will be severely threatened, and while the internet has become the home of free thinkers, even that won't be entirely safe much longer if this trend continues.

Imagine your social media feed getting moderated for content? Imagine your podcast, or blog being shut down because of your anti government speech. I never thought any of this would touch our shores, but more and more I'm realizing this could actually happen here.

I'll continue to publish this podcast for as long as I can, and I will never bow to a dictator or authoritarian.

Peace and love,

Jamie H.

Unless you find yourself flush with cash, credit is something you're going to need at some point in your life. You want to buy that house for $146,000? Well, unless you have that kind of cash lying around you're going to need to apply for a home loan, which is credit. In the market for a new car? You're probably going to need credit to buy it, and the list goes on and on. For something that's as important as credit, I'm shocked that so little time is spent educating ourselves on what it is, and how best to manage it.

This episode of The Point of It All focuses on consumer credit, what goes into calculating your credit score, why your credit score is important, and some does an don'ts as you attempt to manage it.

Dan Rodgers of Escape The Clock is based in Seattle, Washington where he runs a non-profit that educates folks just like you and I on how to manage debt in hopes of retiring early. Dan also wrote a book of the same name Escape The Clock, and he offers free consumer counseling via Zoom for anyone with questions regarding they're financial health. You can find all of the links below!

I hope you enjoy this episode, and I'd like to than Dan for coming on the show!

We're at a crossroads in our country where political speech is either tolerated, or extinguished with violence. While I'd love to tell you there are brighter days ahead, the death of Charlie Kirk yesterday feels different. There's almost certainly going to be a retaliation of some type, even as we learn the identity and motives of the assailant may have been steeped in Alt-Right culture and memes.

In this episode I talk with my nephew Patrick "PJ" Hunter about the death of Kirk and the direction of our country. I hope you enjoy it, and please hug your loved ones close! Peace and love!
