Growth usually gets framed as momentum, expansion, or visibility–but these conversations focus on what happens when growth collides with pressure, cultural instability, leadership strain, and life’s sudden changes. Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt record live at the U.S. Christian Chamber of Commerce SWC 2026 in Orlando, speaking with leaders across business systems, workplace education, media, and global evangelism who each describe how organizations either stabilize through change or become consumed by it. -Stephen Scoggins (founder of the Lion’s Den and One Part Lion - One Part Lamb) explains how entrepreneurs scale dysfunction by over-strategizing and avoiding implementation, then rebuild momentum through systems and disciplined execution. -Linda Hansen (founder of Prosperity 101) advocates that employers have become one of the last institutions capable of reconnecting economic freedom, civic responsibility, and workplace culture. -James Fenimore (co-founder of The Heart Posture Company and host of Living My Faith) applies discipleship directly to leadership and workplace culture through what he calls the Kingdom Framework. -Loree Cameron (donor relations representative for the Jesus Film Project) describes how gaming, virtual reality, translation work, and digital tools are expanding evangelism into countries and audiences traditional ministry cannot easily reach. She also shares her journey from being a young widow with children still at home and God’s faithfulness in this second season of life. Across each conversation, it’s clear that growth becomes sustainable when leadership is supported by structure, conviction, and systems that can hold up through pressure and change. 0:00 Intro 01:24 Stephen Scoggins: Leading Through Chaos and Complexity 12:58 Linda Hansen: Connecting Policy to Paychecks 24:00 James Fenimore: Bringing Faith Into the Marketplace 34:25 Loree Cameron: Using Film for Global Evangelism Resources Mentioned: U.S. Christian Chamber of Commerce https://www.uschristianchamber.com Stephen Scoggins https://stephenscoggins.com Align Leadership Index https://stephenscoggins.com/leadership Prosperity 101 https://prosperity101.com Living My Faith https://livingmyfaith.com The Heart Posture Company https://theheartpostureco.com James Fenimore https://thejamesfenimore.com Jesus Film Project https://www.jesusfilm.org 🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.

Pressure creates movement, but movement alone doesn’t build something stable enough to last through hardship, growth, or transition. Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt record live at the U.S. Christian Chamber of Commerce SWC 2026 in Orlando, speaking with leaders across prison ministry, business coaching, marriage, and Israel advocacy–each describing how faith becomes practical when it reshapes systems, priorities, and long-term outcomes. -Ben Fleet (Crossroads Prison Ministries) ties correspondence based discipleship to measurable outcomes, where consistent mentorship reduces repeat offenses and lowers taxpayer costs. -Candice Rockel (founder of Aurora Network) rebuilds after leaving a 30-year legal career and shows how weak business foundations and missing succession plans create risk for families and organizations. -Robert and Kay Lee Fukui (founders of Married Entrepreneur and Thriving in Tandem) restructure how couples operate by placing family commitments before business tasks and reinforcing that priority through daily prayer. -Rabbi Rami Goldberg (Israel 365) builds connections between Jewish and Christian communities through shared experiences that prioritize relationship over agreement. Across each conversation, the pattern holds. When faith is applied as structure instead of sentiment, it changes behavior, stabilizes relationships, and produces outcomes that extend beyond the individual. This episode fits founders and operators who are building across business and family while trying to create results that hold up over time. 0:00 Intro 01:24 Ben Fleet: Prison Ministry Impact 11:36 Candice Rockel: Building Kingdom CEOs 21:57 Robert and Kay Lee Fukui: Marriage and Business Alignment 30:07 Rabbi Rami Goldberg: Bridging Faith Communities Resources Mentioned: U.S. Christian Chamber of Commerce https://www.uschristianchamber.com Crossroads Prison Ministries https://cpministries.org Aurora Network https://auroranetwork.life Aurora Ministries https://auroraministries.life Married Entrepreneur https://marriedentrepreneur.co Israel 365 https://israel365.com 🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.

Grinding harder shows up as progress…until it starts creating the very problems founders are trying to solve. Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt were on site at the U.S. Christian Chamber of Commerce SWC 2026 conference, talking with founders across the event, each one pointing to a different moment where effort stopped working and alignment had to take over. With Kristen behind the camera, enjoy these conversations with Kurt and learn valuable lessons: -Shae Bynes (Author of Grace over Grind & Grace Under Pressure / Board member, US Christian Chamber of Commerce) moved from constant pressure into a model where decisions come through partnership with God instead of personal strain. -Rich Mason (Founder, Alpha Kingdom Capital) calls founders to answer whether the business is the right assignment before they commit to building it. -Elaine Lankford (Founder, She Steps Forward Coaching) identifies the early breaking point where financial pressure and lack of confidence collide. -Jacob Dyke (Founder, Anchor Coaching) shows how growth stalls when founders keep holding onto the same responsibilities that got them started. Across each conversation, the pattern holds: Leaders who keep chasing activity lose control of what they’re building, but the ones who narrow focus and align decisions build something that can actually sustain pressure. This episode fits business owners who are growing but can feel the gap between effort and direction. 0:00 Intro 01:23 Shae Bynes: Grace Over Grind 12:50 Rich Mason: Business as Mission + Risk 23:50 Elaine Lankford: Why Businesses Fail Early 33:14 Jacob Dyke: The Cost of Saying Yes to Everything Resources Mentioned: U.S. Christian Chamber of Commerce https://www.uschristianchamber.com Shae Bynes https://shaebynes.com/ Rich Mason https://www.rich-mason.com Alpha Kingdom Capital https://www.alphakingdomcapital.com She Steps Forward Coaching https://www.shestepsforwardcoaching.com Anchor Coaching https://www.anchorcoaching.co 🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.

A 14-year sentence didn’t start the fight… It forced a new one. Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt sit down with Jeff Martinovich, who went from running a billion dollar wealth management firm to federal prison after cooperating with regulators during the financial crisis. By the time the case reached trial, public allegations had already collapsed the business and stripped away capital, reputation, and leverage. In prison, Jeff Martinovich rebuilt structure day by day. Law library in the morning. Physical training at night. Classic literature, scripture, prayer, and meditation filled the gaps. That routine became the only thing he could control when the system had already decided the outcome. What follows is how he endured it, and what he rebuilt (even better) on the other side. 0:00 Intro 06:45 The Black Swan Moment 11:54 Facing a 14-Year Sentence 18:21 Public Shaming Strategy 23:26 Courtroom Power Dynamics 29:41 Attorney Betrayal 34:57 Prison Survival and FOIA Discovery 40:03 Asset Protection Failures 46:52 Daily Survival Structure 51:50 The 1% Discipline System 59:33 Lightning Round Resources Mentioned: 📚 When Not If by Jeff Martinovich https://a.co/d/0j1y5iOw Jeff’s website: https://www.jeffmartinovich.com Ash Business Advisory https://www.ashbizadvisory.com/ Lifeforce https://www.mylifeforce.com/ 🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.

A two year war ends and the expected collapse…never comes. Evan Liberman, founder of Wise Money Israel, sits down with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt as Israel’s market outperforms during conflict, forcing investors to reconsider long held assumptions about risk. Valuations remain lower than US markets even as returns climb, while the shekel continues strengthening through long term structural demand. That disconnect exposes a gap between how Israel is priced and what has already changed beneath the surface. Biblical investing adds another layer as conviction-driven capital begins aligning with economic opportunity. Foreign institutions have started moving, but broader market sentiment has not fully caught up. The next phase depends on regional agreements tied to trade, energy, and defense that are still not priced in. That delay leaves a narrow window before perception, capital, and pricing fully align. 0:00 Intro 00:40 Wise Money Israel 05:36 International Diversification Strategy 10:42 Strength of the Israeli Shekel 15:43 How to Invest in Israel 19:15 Biblically Responsible Investing Framework 23:10 Financial Alignment With Faith 26:40 Building a Congregation in Israel 34:43 Post October 7 Market Shift 40:26 Lightning Round Resources Mentioned: Wise Money Israel https://www.wisemoneyisrael.com 🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.

Growth introduces a problem most owners don’t see until it’s already affecting the business. Karl Maier focuses on the moment when selling more no longer solves what’s happening underneath the surface. In this conversation with Kurt and Kristin Luidhardt, Karl walks through a business that expanded across multiple locations while continuing to rely on the same sales driven approach that worked early on. That approach left operational gaps unaddressed as inventory slowed, cash tightened, and a downturn exposed how fragile the model had become. The shift comes from aligning pricing, delegation, and process with the current reality of the business instead of the conditions that existed during early growth. Today Karl Maier works with business owners to build systems and decision frameworks that hold as the company scales and conditions change. 0:00 Intro 02:41 New Energy Startup and Market Context 03:18 Target Customers and Energy Reliability 06:33 Startup Partnership and CFO Role 09:43 Listening as a Growth Lever 13:41 Family Business Breakdown Under Growth 20:50 Pricing Model Breakdown 24:03 Selective Pricing Strategy 27:11 Delegation and Early Systems 31:14 Surfing Economic Chaos Framework 36:10 Lightning Round Resources Mentioned: 📚 Surfing Economic Chaos by Karl Maier Connect with Karl: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karlkmaier/ Abunden https://abunden.com/ 🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.

Andrew Riddaugh built his company around a problem most business owners ignore–they depend on systems that can shut them out instantly. In this conversation with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt, Andrew traces his path from presidential advance and the 2020 campaign to launching Liberation Technology Services after watching platforms remove access and control communication through vague enforcement. That exposure shows up inside businesses when data lives across too many platforms, email stops reaching customers without warning, and one outage can interrupt operations overnight. The change comes from bringing infrastructure, communication, and files into one controlled environment where businesses can see what they own and resolve problems quickly. Today Andrew Riddaugh helps business owners reduce dependence on outside platforms, protect private communication, and build operations that are harder to disrupt. 0:00 Intro 05:03 Why Small Businesses Face Risk 11:52 Switching to Liberation Technology 13:44 Spending Aligned With Values 16:33 Hub for Teams Platform 23:27 Campaign Logistics and Pressure 31:42 Future Risk With Political Shifts 34:15 Preparing Before 2028 35:19 Becoming Uncancellable 39:55 Lightning Round Resources Mentioned: Liberation Technology Services https://liberationtek.com American Cloud https://americancloud.com Hub for Teams https://hubforteams.com RedBalloon https://redballoon.work PublicSquare https://publicsquare.com Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.

John Hulen built his work around a connection most leaders overlook: how unresolved issues at home directly impact performance at work. In this conversation with Kurt Luidhardt, John walks through his path from ministry to entrepreneurship, including a failed startup and a divorce that forced him to confront how he handled relationships. That reality shows up inside companies where employees disengage, call in sick (when they’re not), and operate below their capacity because problems at home remain unaddressed. The shift comes from treating relationship skills–especially vulnerability–as something that can be learned and practiced rather than avoided. Today John works with men and early stage entrepreneurs to build those skills at home first, changing how they show up in leadership and eliminating hidden costs inside their business. 0:00 Intro 01:32 Ministry to Entrepreneurship Journey 11:27 Why He Started Coaching Entrepreneurs 15:13 Coaching Approach Rooted in Home Life 19:23 Speaking and Organizational Work 21:51 Limiting Beliefs in Relationships 23:16 Vulnerability as a Learnable Skill 27:28 Purpose Through Pain and Action 31:54 Lightning Round Resources Mentioned: Connect with John Hulen: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen Relationships and Revenue Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1516363435 🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.

Avi Vatsa built multiple companies across marketing, AI, and software while working long hours and trying to manage everything himself. In this conversation with Kurt Luidhardt, Avi traces how that approach created constant bottlenecks, forcing him to confront the limits of doing the work alone. That pattern showed up in stalled growth, slow execution, and the repeated ceiling that came from relying on effort instead of leverage. The shift? Hiring experienced operators and building automation systems that removed entire layers of manual work, from email management to client onboarding and lead follow up. Now Avi runs multiple companies through systems that execute daily operations, using AI and structured teams to scale output without increasing complexity. 0:00 Intro 05:28 Effective AI Automations 10:41 Risks of AI Autonomy 15:48 Staying Ahead of AI Noise 18:56 AI Voice Agent Use Cases 23:11 Common Scaling Mistakes 27:32 Youth for Human Rights India 32:52 Lightning Round Resources Mentioned: Connect with Avi Vatsa https://avivatsa.com Dialora https://www.dialora.ai/ Youth for Human Rights https://www.youthforhumanrights.org/ 🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.

Dr. Ted Baehr grew up in the film industry, but his perspective on media shifted after a personal transformation that reframed entertainment as a force shaping culture and belief. That conviction led him to found Movieguide with a mission to help families choose wisely and show Hollywood what audiences actually want. What he found challenges the narrative. Faith-friendly content is not just growing, it is succeeding at the highest levels. That shift came not from standing outside the industry, but from engaging it and influencing it in ways that matter. Hollywood ultimately responds to what people support. For those looking to make an impact, the takeaway is clear. Influence does not come from avoiding culture, it comes from stepping into it with purpose, collaboration, and a commitment to doing the work over time. 🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.

Virginia Prodan’s story does not start with influence or platform. It begins in communist Romania, where fear was normal, truth was suppressed, and even speaking freely came with consequences. As a young girl, she recognized something was wrong and carried a conviction that would shape her life. That conviction led her into law, but her encounter with faith changed everything. After coming to Christ, Virginia began taking on cases no one else would, defending religious freedom and human rights in a system designed to silence both. What followed were moments of real risk, including threats, imprisonment, and even facing an assassin sent to kill her. What stands out is not just the courage, but the source of it. Her story reframes strength, not as something self-made, but something rooted in surrender. Again and again, she chose conviction over fear. If you are building something or navigating pressure, this conversation highlights a tension. It is easy to wait or assume someone else will step in. Virginia’s story challenges that. The responsibility to act is not outsourced. It is accepted, often in moments that are uncertain, uncomfortable, and costly. 🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.

Eitan Weiss operates at the intersection of diplomacy, business, and global perception, representing Israel in a region where relationships matter as much as strategy. While Israel is often defined by headlines, this conversation highlights something deeper: a small nation with outsized influence, built on resilience and innovation. That mindset is evident in Israel’s startup culture, where failure is not avoided but expected, and often fuels what comes next. Whether in healthcare, defense, or technology, the focus is simple: solve real problems and think globally from the start. At the same time, leadership in this environment requires clarity and discernment. With constant complexity and competing narratives, understanding what is true—and acting on it—becomes essential for anyone looking to build meaningful partnerships. 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.

Micah LaCerte built a life on discipline, fitness, and visible success while protecting a past that he pushed down deep in shame. The outside accolades continued to grow, but the internal pressure never left. In this conversation with Kurt Luidhardt, Micah traces how that pressure shaped his anxiety, his faith, and the way he moved through success. That pattern held for decades. Anxiety stayed hidden, faith felt fractured, and success became something to maintain rather than something that resolved what was underneath. The shift didn't come through performance. It came through facing what he had buried, restoring his relationship with God, and through choosing to speak what had been hidden. Now shame has no hold on Micah, and he uses that same story to reach the men still carrying it in silence, not with theory, but with a path that moves beyond coping and toward true freedom. 0:00 Intro 05:41 SoulFit TV 10:05 How Trauma and Shame Stay Hidden 17:27 How Micah Met His Wife 20:54 Dealing With Pain 29:19 History of HitchFit 32:13 Lessons for Business Scaling 36:22 Lightning Round Resources Mentioned: 📚 The Breaker Mission by Micah LaCerte https://thebreakermission.com SoulFit TV on Christian Television Network: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLllco-DxCjPSoWuSVYlcwQGSyrGHonVXq 🎙️ A Few Things Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@AFewThingsPodcast Hitch Fit https://hitchfit.com 🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.

Results fall short even when the effort and intelligence are there…why?? When John Mitchell turned 50–after decades of building businesses–he still saw a gap between income, execution, and what he knew he was capable of. That tension sharpened as he revisited the book “Think and Grow Rich" and connected two ideas that had never been applied together. Daily actions determined outcomes, and most of those actions were unconscious. Kurt and Kristin Luidhardt test that idea against their own routines. Kristin describes how consistency comes and goes depending on the season. Kurt points to the frustration of knowing exactly what to do and still making the wrong decisions. John connects both patterns to something most people never account for and builds a daily system around it. The shift shows up in places most people overlook, including moments that used to trigger automatic reactions. 0:00 Intro 02:44 Establishing Success and Personal History 10:33 The Story of Discovering the Secret 17:38 The Full Secret & 12 Minute Technique 21:55 Addressing the Success Industry 30:56 The Role of Emotion in Visualization 36:39 Validating Science with AI 41:02 Success as a Preference vs. Necessity 46:36 Clarity and Specificity in the Template 50:47 Lightning Round Resources Mentioned: 📚 Think and Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill https://www.naphill.org/shop/books/paperback/think-and-grow-rich/ 📚 The Missing Secret - John Mitchell https://www.themissingsecret.org Tony Robbins - Date with Destiny https://www.tonyrobbins.com/events/date-with-destiny/ University of Texas https://www.utexas.edu 🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.

Why do teams stall even when everyone knows what to do? Kurt Luidhardt sits down with Jerri Ann Jensen, founder of COSMO Advantage, to explore why execution often breaks down long after the strategy is set. Teams can have clear goals, defined roles, and capable people in place, yet results still lag. The obvious explanation works for a while, until the same problems keep showing up. Jerri Ann says that many leaders are diagnosing the wrong layer. A story from her own family brings that pattern into focus and shows how quickly the conversation changes when the real issue gets named. From there, the discussion turns to the same tension inside organizations, where resistance stays hidden, alignment gets overstated, and performance problems are blamed on everything except the thing underneath them. This episode is for business leaders trying to understand why execution keeps breaking, even when the plan looks solid. 0:00 Intro 03:27 Origin of COSMO Advantage 08:11 Integrating COSMO with Existing Frameworks 14:34 Diagnosing Organizational Gaps 20:41 Listening and Questioning for Diagnosis 26:17 Ownership Transformation Story 32:52 Learning to Hear and Respond 39:08 Lightning Round Resources Mentioned: COSMO Advantage https://cosmoadvantage.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Most investors assume their money is neutral. Hal Lambert argues it’s not. That’s why he founded Invest Politically. After watching Target stock fall while critics unknowingly still owned it, he realized something most people miss: You can boycott a company but still be invested in it. That insight led him to build a different kind of portfolio–one based on political contribution data pulled from the S&P 500. The result looks nothing like a typical index fund: minimal tech, heavy industrials, energy, and financials. And a completely different way of thinking about alignment. But the bigger shift goes beyond portfolios… Hal ties investing directly to global power, arguing that moves in Venezuela, Iran, and even Greenland are part of a larger strategy centered on China and control of resources. From that perspective, traditional diversification starts to break down. Instead of spreading risk globally, he makes a more aggressive bet: The United States isn’t just an option–it’s the only one. This episode poses a question most investors never ask: Are you actually aligned with what your money is doing? 0:00 Intro 1:55 The Moment That Changed Hal’s Investing Strategy 7:03 What Happens When You Align Investing With Beliefs 10:46 Why This Portfolio Looks Nothing Like the S&P 500 15:31 The “New World Order” and What It Means for Markets 24:30 Policy, Regulation, and Market Momentum 27:40 Where the Economy Is Headed Next 32:25 Lightning Round Resources Mentioned: Invest Politically https://www.investpolitically.com Point Bridge Capital https://pointbridgecapital.com 🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.

You spend months building a product, launch it, and realize no one is buying...but not if Clay can help it! Kurt and Kristen sit down with Clay Banks as he shares his journey building Haven Lock, landing a (now viral) Shark Tank episode, and using that experience to sharpen decisions about traction, valuation, and what actually mattered. That shift shows up in how he now approaches new ideas. Instead of starting with product, he starts with proof. The "fake door" test becomes the first step, putting an offer in front of real people and measuring whether anyone takes action before anything is built. The same pattern carried into GloriLight, where speed came from testing demand early and using systems he had already built. What used to take years now happens in weeks because the order of operations changed. And now, he’s getting those lessons and tools into the hands of other founders. Entrepreneurs building products with a focus on real demand are going to love this conversation. 0:00 Intro 05:44 Shark Tank Journey 10:03 Team Focus and Clarity 16:44 Exit and Market Pivot 20:56 Scaling Operations and Inventory 24:13 The Founders Round 32:18 Fake Door Test 35:21 Non-negotiables 41:19 Lightning Round Resources Mentioned: The Founders Round: www.thefoundersround.com GloriLight https://glorilight.com Haven Lock https://havenlock.com 🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.

Allison Madrigal reached a point where success in business was no longer the question. Direction was. She asked God to shut every door if the opportunity in front of her was not from Him. Instead, every door opened. That moment led her out of corporate leadership and into building a company with a clear operating conviction: half of the profits would be directed toward fighting trafficking. It was not positioned as a side initiative–it became part of the business model itself. What followed was not just growth, but alignment, leading to the creation of Rescue America and a national response to trafficking cases. Along the way, Allison began to see how exploitation actually takes root through systems, relationships, and online pathways that often go unnoticed. If you’re building a business, this might sound familiar: Allison’s clarity didn’t come from strategy first. It came from conviction, then worked its way into how everything operates. 0:00 Intro 02:30 Hearing the Voice of God 10:11 Distinguishing God's Will From Self Will 15:08 The Founding of Rescue America 23:25 Tactics of Domestic Human Trafficking 31:50 Busting Myths About Trafficking 34:49 Warning Signs for Parents 39:35 Transitioning to a New Season 43:56 Taking Action & Next Steps 45:11 Lightning Round Resources Mentioned: Rescue America https://rescueamerica.ngo/ Vitality Solutions https://vitalitysolutions.com/ 🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.

What actually determines how far someone can go in business? Many founders assume success comes down to strategy, timing, or tactics. But a deeper question sits underneath it all: Who do you believe you are capable of becoming? Markus Kaulius built a $170 million business and now mentors founders while investing in dozens of companies. His focus isn’t just business strategy. It’s the mindset and identity that shape the ceiling of leadership. The conversation explores how limiting beliefs form early, how entrepreneurs unknowingly cap their own growth, and why the next stage of business often requires becoming a different person. Faith also plays a central role. Markus explains how his decision-making changed when he stopped asking God to bless his plans and started asking which direction God wanted him to take. For leaders navigating growth, pressure, and responsibility, this discussion offers a grounded look at what it actually takes to keep growing. 0:00 Intro 03:39 Why Mindset Matters in Business 06:38 Identity and Core Beliefs 10:35 Rewriting Personal Identity 13:17 Asking Better Questions 18:02 Identity Sets Your Success Ceiling 22:39 How Investors Evaluate Founders 27:29 The Biggest Entrepreneur Pitfall 33:10 Faith in Business Decisions 43:28 Gratitude as a Mental Reset 47:20 Lightning Round Resources Mentioned: 📚 Play A Bigger Game by Markus Kaulius 📚 Inner Excellence by Jim Murphy Connect with Markus: www.markuskaulius.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markuskaulius 🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.

Many entrepreneurs try to follow strategies that were never meant for the stage they’re actually in. Michael Hunter, founder of PersonalBrand.com and creator of Spiffy, joins Kurt and Kristen to explore why timing matters when building a message-driven business. The conversation centers on a simple idea that changes how founders think about growth: Every thought leader business moves through stages, and confusion often begins when someone tries to operate several stages ahead of where they are. Michael has spent years helping experts clarify their message and build influence that lasts. Along the way he shares lessons from building Spiffy, reflects on the difference between brand and branding, and explains how clarity around your message can shape the opportunities that follow.

Patriotism is on the downturn. When pride in country declines across generations, what responsibility do we have to try to restore it? In this episode, Craig du Mez, founder of the Grateful Nation Project, shares a practical answer to that question. Through hero collector cards and narrative biographies, his nonprofit introduces students to the real lives of U.S. service members who lost their lives while serving. Instead of teaching history through dates and generals, Craig’s work connects young Americans to individual stories–where these men and women grew up, what they cared about, and the path that led them to serve. It’s a powerful reminder of something business leaders understand well: Stories create connection in ways information alone never can. Because gratitude for freedom doesn’t sustain itself. It has to be taught, preserved, and passed on. 0:00 Intro 04:48 Role Models and Sacrifice 06:20 Collector Cards 11:03 Peer-to-Peer Learning in Schools 14:08 Submitting a Hero 15:21 Selection Process and Card Pack Variety 19:28 The Vision of Grateful Nation Project 22:59 Lightning Round Resources Mentioned: Grateful Nation Project https://herocards.us Follow The Grateful Nation Project: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GratefulNationProject Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gratefulnation_us/ 🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.

If business is a belief system, what exactly do you believe? And how is that belief shaping the markets you enter and the customers you attract? In this episode of Liberty Spenders, Kurt Luidhardt sits down with Michael Liebowitz of Magnetic Mind Studio, who works with leadership teams to uncover the core belief beneath their brand and strategy.  His work centers on how the brain makes decisions and why most companies misunderstand what actually drives trust, loyalty, and growth. This episode explores: Why every business operates from an underlying belief system (whether it is clearly defined or not) Why no one is truly in the business they think they are in… How clarifying your core belief reshapes customer research, positioning, and targeting decisions Why shared beliefs signal safety in the brain & accelerate trust How belief integrity protects brands from reactive expansion and dilution Why the emotional “yes” must come before logistical problem solving in every sale What objection pre-framing looks like in both sales conversations and marketing assets For leaders building brands in competitive and rapidly shifting markets, this conversation offers a disciplined way to examine what you believe and how that belief is shaping every single customer relationship. 0:00 Intro 02:24 Speaking to the Wrong Part of the Brain 04:23 Rewriting a Vague Investment Tagline 07:54 You Do Not Have a Customer 15:43 Selling Ice to a Penguin 23:32 The Brain Only Trusts Like-Kind People 27:20 Objection Pre-Framing Instead of Answering Objections 33:05 When Manipulation Violates Safety 34:09 How Beliefs Filter Communication 41:22 The Two Month Leadership Messaging Program 45:31 Lightning Round Resources Mentioned: Magnetic Mind Studio: https://www.mindmagnetizer.com/ 🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.

Losing everything can be the end of your story…or the beginning of your assignment. Lindsey Graham (The Patriot Barbie) was cancelled after reopening her business during the 2020 lockdowns. She faced relentless backlash and lost her companies, her stability, and the identity she had built around success. What followed was a two year wilderness marked by closed doors, disorientation, and a deeper reckoning with faith. But that was not the end of her story. In the silence, she believes her calling became clear. Instead of rebuilding what she lost, Lindsey wrote her book Targeted, launched Pretty Little Patriot, and built Galatians Girl from the most painful parts of her testimony–intentionally positioning a values-driven brand and mission-centered business in the middle of a divided marketplace. This episode explores: • The operational and financial risk of standing publicly on conviction • The difference between entrepreneurial persistence and strategic redirection • Why she refuses to keep faith neutral in brand positioning and customer alignment • Spending as a moral decision within a parallel economy • Turning personal failure into mission-driven storytelling • How loss reshapes leadership identity and long term business ambition For entrepreneurs and leaders navigating backlash, reinvention, or a season that feels like loss, this is your reminder that you’re only in one chapter of a much bigger story. 0:00 Intro 03:36 Losing Businesses After Reopening During Lockdowns 07:04 Two Years of Closed Doors 13:32 Identifying a Gap in Faith Based Fashion 16:35 Building the Brand and Partnering with Designers 23:02 Opening a Texas Storefront 29:42 Spending as a Moral Decision 34:05 Competing by Doubling Down on Faith 37:43 Launching Galatians Girl 43:39 Lightning Round 47:02 Who Pretty Little Patriot Is For Resources Mentioned: Pretty Little Patriot https://prettylittlepatriot.com Galatians Girl https://thepatriotbarbie.com/galatians-girl 📚 Targeted by Lindsey Graham https://thepatriotbarbie.com/books Connect with Lindsey on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.patriot.barbie/ 🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.

What if the real problem in modern medicine is not a lack of treatment, but a lack of clarity? …and what does that reveal about how we make decisions in business, leadership, and life? Dr. Greg Eckel is a naturopathic physician and founder of Brain Regen whose work in bioenergetics and brain regeneration was shaped by the rapid illness and loss of his wife. That experience forced him to navigate the medical system not as a practitioner, but as a husband looking for answers. The conversation centers on how reactive systems wait for breakdown before responding, whether in healthcare or elsewhere. Dr. Greg Eckel explains why neurodegeneration often begins years before diagnosis and how clarity and upstream assessment change outcomes. This episode explores: • Why clarity is often missing in large institutions • The difference between reactive intervention and upstream prevention • How subconscious patterns and stress affect performance and health • The business case for long term thinking in brain health and longevity • What informed consent really means in complex systems • How mission can be forged through loss and responsibility For entrepreneurs building companies, families, and long term legacies, this conversation reframes what it means to think upstream before the crisis hits. 0:00 Intro 02:15 What Bioenergetics Really Means 06:29 The Origin of the Eckel Protocol 10:12 Loss, Grief, and a Broken System 13:25 Detect, Correct, Thrive Framework 17:27 Why Thoughts and Beliefs Matter 22:21 Functional Medicine vs. Reactive Care 25:25 Diet, Sugar, and Brain Health 35:46 Politics, Censorship, and Medicine 39:59 Lightning Round Resources Mentioned: Energy4Life Centers https://energy4lifecenters.com/ Brain Regen www.brainregen.com 📚 Dr. Eckel’s book: Shake It Off https://a.co/d/0jlRlrpC 🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.

On the one hand, AI can help write an email or clean up your calendar. On the other, it can help prevent violence, expose dangerous behavior, and even help rescue children. In this episode of Liberty Spenders, Kurt and Kristen sit down with Ralph Peña, U.S. Marine Corps veteran and CEO of WeCheck AI. Ralph shares his journey from military law enforcement to banking, and ultimately into building an AI-powered due diligence platform designed to identify digital red flags before organizations make costly–or dangerous–decisions. But this conversation isn’t just about hiring or compliance. Ralph opens up about a pivotal moment marked by prayer, fear, and deep uncertainty…one that reshaped not only his business, but his life’s mission. Today, WeCheck AI is being built with a deeper purpose: fighting human trafficking and identifying predators before they can cause harm. You’ll hear how digital footprints reveal more than most people realize, why checking your online presence matters, and how AI can be used ethically to protect both freedom and security. As intense as the realities behind Ralph’s mission are, this conversation ultimately points toward hope. 0:00 Intro 2:06 What WeCheck AI Does 5:56 Why Ralph Left Banking to Build an AI Company 10:07 The Pivot That Changed Everything 14:11 The Bigger Mission to Find and Save Kids 21:16 International Interest & National Security Conversations 27:12 The Red Flags WeCheck AI Looks For 34:44 Privacy, Consent, and What Data Is Accessed 37:45 Lightning Round 40:43 Who Should Be Partnering With WeCheck AI Resources Mentioned: WeCheck AIhttps://www.wecheck.ai 🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.

Big takeaways from this episode: • How AI search is reshaping consumer trust and decision-making • Why showing multiple perspectives builds confidence, not confusion • The business case for privacy, transparency, and user choice • What leaders can learn from markets where information is restricted • How mission-driven technology creates stronger customer loyalty • Why curiosity is a competitive advantage in a divided marketplace This episode is for entrepreneurs, marketers, and leaders who believe trust is a growth strategy, values still drive buying behavior, and technology should empower people–not manipulate them. 0:00 Intro 2:25 What Freespoke Is and Why It Exists 4:44 Why People Struggle to Trust Information 10:32 Building a Family-Friendly Search Experience 16:43 Privacy, Transparency, and User Choice 18:33 Find the Truth Be Free 26:59 Lessons from Working Overseas 35:18 Why Multiple Perspectives Matter 37:41 The Long-Term Vision for Freespoke 39:09 Lightning Round 42:08 A Simple Explanation of Freespoke 43:30 Final Thoughts and Where to Find It Resources Mentioned: Freespokehttps://www.freespoke.comOr download the app!

In business and in fitness, people quit when effort doesn’t turn into results. In this Liberty Spenders episode, Kurt and Kristen sit down with someone who has been successful in both: Dr. John Jaquish. As a biomedical engineer, inventor of OsteoStrong and X3, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, he unpacks why exercise and traditional fitness fail most people…and what actually drives strength, muscle growth, longevity, and performance. His fitness insights alone might shake up how you think about your routine, but this conversation goes far beyond the gym. Dr. Jaquish breaks down some of his business principles–from how relentless testing and refusing industry norms led to breakthrough products and raving fans, to the dangers of globalism and the importance of American manufacturing. One major parallel becomes apparent: most businesses fail for the same reason most fitness programs do–focusing on activity instead of results. Whether you’re trying to transform your business or your health (or both), the principle is the same. Results come from systems that actually work. 0:00 Intro 2:08 Meet Dr. John Jaquish 3:41 Why 90% Quit Fitness 8:51 How Weightlifting Fails Most People 13:01 Stop Mixing Up Your Exercises 15:56 Solving Bone Density and Osteoporosis 22:53 From OsteoStrong to X3 27:06 Why Variable Resistance Works 32:47 Muscle Mass Fat Loss and Longevity 38:40 Why Manufacturing in America Matters 40:58 Key Lessons for choosing the Right Vendor 58:55 Lightning Round 1:13:22 How to Connect Resources Mentioned: X3 System https://www.jaquishbiomedical.com/  OsteoStrong https://www.osteostrong.me/  Dr. John Jaquish’s Book:Weightlifting Is a Waste of Time https://www.amazon.com/Weight-Lifting-Waste-Time-Cardio/dp/154450893X Jaquish Biomedical YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/c/JaquishBiomedical  🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.

Frustration, fatigue, lack of focus…what you’re experiencing isn’t a character flaw. It’s a signal from your brain and body. In this episode of Liberty Spenders™, Kurt sits down with Eric Collett, CEO of A Mind For All Seasons, for a powerful conversation on how brain health relates to faith, emotions, and performance. Eric explains why emotions are often physiological symptoms (not personal identity) and how optimizing brain health can radically improve decision-making, leadership capacity, work performance, energy levels, and spiritual connection while also reducing long-term risk for cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease. They unpack the idea of the brain as hardware, the role of fuel, hydration, and cellular exhaust, and why living by design instead of default changes everything. This episode is especially meaningful for faith-driven leaders, entrepreneurs, business owners, and high-capacity professionals who feel stuck, burned out, foggy, or disconnected. Key Takeaways: Why emotions are signals, not labels (and how misreading them hurts performance) How brain health affects leadership, decision-making, marriage, and parenting The hardware vs. software analogy that explains burnout and diminishing returns Why caring for your body strengthens focus, discipline, and spiritual clarity How proactive brain health leads to greater energy, resilience, clarity, and joy These frameworks speak directly to stewardship, sustainable performance, leadership effectiveness, and long-term cognitive health–especially in an increasingly AI-driven world where human clarity, judgment, and focus matter more than ever. 0:00 Intro1:20 Eric Collett and his brain health mission4:27 The brain as hardware, not software7:27 The leap into entrepreneurship10:48 “The Enhanced Protocol” 14:50 How the cellular engine works18:00 Brain fog and oxidative stress21:14 How brain health deepens relationships25:20 Stewarding the body29:33 Feelings vs. Identity36:35 Coming from a faithful entrepreneurial family42:47 Lightning round 48:02 Preventing Alzheimer's  Resources Mentioned: A Mind For All Seasonshttps://www.amindforallseasons.com Brain Energy Self Assessmenthttps://www.amindforallseasons.com/energy  🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.

We dare you to get through this episode without smiling! Kurt and Kristen sit down with Barry Shore, the Ambassador of Joy, for a conversation about purpose, resilience, and a new way to support causes people already care about. After waking up completely paralyzed overnight, Barry rebuilt his life through faith, mindset, and daily habits.

Barry introduces the Everywhere Card, a Visa-backed prepaid card that allows people to support churches, nonprofits, and community organizations through everyday spending, at no additional cost.

What happens when a Navy veteran decides he’s going to build a company the hard way–the American way–even if it takes years? For Ryan Gubrud, that commitment shaped everything: his manufacturing, his team, his product quality, and ultimately the loyal community that now surrounds Freedom Baitz. In this episode of Liberty Spenders, Kurt and Kristen sit down with Ryan, CFO & CSO of Freedom Baitz, to unpack the unexpected story behind a fast-growing, veteran-owned fishing brand rooted in craftsmanship, integrity, and “made in the USA” pride.

What happens when a nation loses trust in its government…its medical system…even its food supply? For entrepreneur Adam Gibson, that moment came fast and hard–and it pushed him into activism, community-building, and eventually a nationwide movement that’s still changing lives. In this episode of Liberty Spenders™, Kurt sits down with Adam (founder of Parents With Questions, The Family Farms, and Silver Stash) to unpack how ordinary families can reclaim sovereignty in food, health, wealth, and community. Adam shares the moment he realized no one was coming to save kids from untested mandates, the day he was denied food in front of his children, and how those moments sparked new, practical solutions that now serve hundreds of families across Australia. This conversation is part wake-up call, part roadmap, and fully aligned with the Liberty Spenders™ mission of helping you build a life rooted in conviction, not coercion. Big takeaways from this episode: How a father of three became the unlikely leader of a nationwide movement The truth about sovereignty (and why most families lose it without realizing) How 550+ families now co-own farms producing clean, regenerative food Why community became the most powerful form of activism How kids learn wealth differently when they save silver instead of cash Why preparing now matters more than reacting later What business leaders can learn from decentralized systems, grassroots mobilization, and building trust through transparency For entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders, Adam’s experience offers unexpected insight into crisis leadership, community-driven growth, systems thinking, and how trust becomes the defining currency in both movements and markets. 0:00 Intro 1:26 Adam Gibson’s journey into natural health 6:15 COVID hits and everything changes 10:37 The rise of Parents With Questions 14:46 Life in Australia during lockdowns 19:17 Why sovereignty became Adam’s mission 24:36 The birth of The Family Farms project 30:33 Reclaiming food and reconnecting kids to the land 36:31 The deeper threat to Australia’s food system 38:42 Introducing Silver Stash & teaching kids wealth 44:26 Preparing families for what’s ahead 49:12 Lightning Round Resourced Mentioned: The Uncoercible Family, Silver Stash, and The Family Farms Project:https://www.uncoercible.com/ Parents With Questions Podcast:https://open.spotify.com/show/0uamItckPlRw9EAwgavGbZ 🔗 Connect with Liberty Spenders™: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/libertyspenders • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/libertyspenders • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/libertyspenders • Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-6192506 • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXn-vzlA03r59neWZD0ofJA • X: https://x.com/LibertySpenders 🔗 Connect with Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt: • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luidhardts • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luidhardts • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/luidhardts • Truth Social: https://truthsocial.com/@luidhardts • X: https://x.com/luidhardts Liberty Spenders™ Podcast Join Kurt and Kristen, founders of Liberty Spenders™ on a groundbreaking podcast that unveils the secrets to tapping into the immense potential of the faith-based conservative market.

What if the key to unlocking your peak performance—whether you’re an NFL athlete or a desk-bound entrepreneur—has nothing to do with lifting heavier or running faster… and everything to do with your nervous system? In this episode, Kurt sits down with strength and conditioning coach, creator, poet, and deep thinker Jacob Shields, whose unconventional approach to human performance is opening doors in the NFL, shaping innovative fitness tools, and inspiring artists, athletes, and entrepreneurs alike. Jacob breaks down how nervous system training works, why grip strength predicts longevity, the surprising role of mentorship, and why he views life through the lens of “black swan opportunities,” while also sharing his vision for building communities where artists, athletes, and entrepreneurs can grow and thrive together. Key Takeaways Stay Curious—Learning Fuels Growth- Treat every day like a training session. The more you learn, the more opportunities you can spot and act on. Train Your “Nervous System” in Business- Speed and responsiveness matter. Build systems that help you react quickly—faster decisions, faster iterations, faster execution. Improve Your “Grip Strength” as a Leader- Strengthen your fundamentals: discipline, consistency, and daily habits. Small capabilities compound into long-term business longevity. Bet on Black Swan Opportunities- Take more smart risks—send the cold email, reach for the big partnership, make the bold ask. One win can change everything. Build Your Community Early- Surround yourself with mentors, collaborators, and peers. High-performance environments accelerate your growth and keep you accountable.This episode will challenge how you think about performance, opportunity, and the hidden limits you’ve placed on your potential.🔗 Tune into Jacob’s Quality Values Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/quality-values/id1639708537 📚 Get your FREE copy of Liberty Spenders™: https://libertyspenders.com/FreeBook📄 Free Case Study: The Step-by-Step Approach to Success: https://libertyspenders.com/CaseStudy 🤝 Connect the Liberty Partnership Community: https://libertyspenders.com/calendar/Ready to grow your brand with conviction?

What if the real obstacle in your leadership isn’t your strategy at all—but your identity? Leadership coach Peter Awad joins the show to unpack how a clear sense of who you are (and whose you are) can transform your business, your team, and your purpose. In this conversation with Kurt and Kristen, Peter—founder of Whitestone Coaching Group—dives into why so many Christian entrepreneurs feel isolated, how faith quietly shapes decision-making, and why healthy leadership demands a balance of challenge and support. It’s a candid, practical look at identity-driven leadership.Key Takeaways: Authentic leadership starts with identity. When you lead like someone else, you instantly create friction and burnout. Keep identity, calling, and assignment separate. Losing sight of this creates confusion and misplaced purpose. Integrate prayer into your decision-making. Don’t silo faith—God speaks through Scripture, Holy Spirit, and community. Great leaders balance support and challenge. Protection or domination hurts teams; liberation builds them. Culture issues usually reflect leadership issues. If hiring and performance are failing, look inward first.If you're seeking clarity, confidence, and a healthier way to lead—this episode is packed with breakthrough moments.🔗 Learn more about Whitestone Coaching Group: https://whitestonecoach.com/📚 Get your FREE copy of Liberty Spenders™: https://libertyspenders.com/FreeBook 📄 Free Case Study: The Step-by-Step Approach to Success: https://libertyspenders.com/CaseStudy🤝 Connect the Liberty Partnership Community: https://libertyspenders.com/calendar/Ready to grow your brand with conviction?

In this episode of the Liberty Spenders™ Podcast, hosts Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt sit down with bestselling author, speaker, and leadership expert Chris Widener for a powerful conversation about faith, business, and cultural renewal. They unpack what it means to be a “Liberty Spender”—a growing group of conservative and Christian consumers—and how this audience is shaping the future of the marketplace. Widener shares his insights on the cycles of revival in America, the role of the church, and why cultural change often starts in small, personal acts of faith. The discussion moves from spiritual renewal to practical leadership, exploring how character defines influence, how Christian business owners can transform culture, and why reframing your work around a higher purpose can change everything. For entrepreneurs and business leaders alike, this episode offers a refreshing reminder that building a thriving business and building the Kingdom aren’t separate missions—they’re one and the same.Key Takeaways from the episode: Reframe your business as a Kingdom mission. Stop viewing your work as “just business.” Every product you sell, service you deliver, or team you lead can be part of something eternal. Lead with character, not credentials. True influence doesn’t come from titles, talent, or tactics—it comes from integrity. People follow who you are more than what you do.Build rest and renewal into your business rhythm. Burnout blocks spiritual clarity. Rest restores it. Taking time away isn’t lazy—it’s stewardship.Share your story, not just your strategy. Revival starts with testimony. People are moved by authenticity, not polish.Redefine success through impact. You’re not just chasing revenue—you’re building legacy. The true measure of success is the lives changed because your business exists.Links and Resources:🔗 Learn more about Chris Widener: https://chriswidener.com/📚 Get your FREE copy of Liberty Spenders™: https://libertyspenders.com/FreeBook📄 Free Case Study: The Step-by-Step Approach to Success: https://libertyspenders.com/CaseStudy🤝 Connect the Liberty Partnership Community: https://libertyspenders.com/calendar/Ready to grow your brand with conviction?

Ryan Reger — entrepreneur, author of Streams of Income and Unleashing Community, and founder of The Unleashed Movement — shares how he helps people uncover what they’re truly made to do by aligning their strengths, values, and purpose. With more than 15 years of experience building online businesses and mentoring others, Ryan discusses the power of clarity, community, and purpose-driven work. He opens up about his own pivot from e-commerce to community building and how that transition reshaped his definition of success. The conversation explores how to make confident decisions in uncertain times, build a values-aligned business, and replace striving with focus and fulfillment — all while creating impact that lasts. Key Takeaways: Audit your strengths. Take inventory of what you naturally do well and enjoy — your purpose often lives where those two intersect. Align decisions with your values. Before saying “yes,” ask: Does this align with who I am and the life I want to build? Work from peace, not pressure. Replace hustle with intentional action — focus on what truly moves your vision forward. Take small, consistent steps. Clarity comes through movement — progress reveals purpose, not the other way around. Stay connected to your “why.” Revisit your mission often to keep your work, goals, and leadership grounded in meaning.
