from The Buck Starts Here - Presidents, Policies, Hilarious History · host China Shop Productions
Before John Quincy Adams became America’s most forgettable president, he was basically a Founding Father Nepo Baby turned globe-trotting prodigy.In this episode, Kyle and Eric dive into JQA’s chaotic and impressive early life—getting inoculated before vaccines were cool, becoming a teenage diplomat fluent in multiple languages, and turning down a seat on the Supreme Court because he “didn’t feel like it.”We’re talking European power moves, Founding Father family drama, and alleged skinny-dipping in colonial streams. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to grow up journaling every historical moment and getting career advice from Ben Franklin, this one’s for you.🎧 Hit play to hear why John Quincy Adams peaked way before the White House.Fife and Drum: "Loopster" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
