[Podcast] 4135 THEN HE DIED - Call In Show - June 27th, 2018

[Freedomain]

Question 1: [5:22] - “I just graduated college with a degree in Public Relations, but I am not really sure if this is the path I want to take. I am much more passionate about music and, unlike your caller, have a drive to practice and work non-stop until I get where I need to be. I have been involved in music since middle school and originally did not want to go to college and instead focus on entering the music industry. After unexpectedly being accepted into a top public university, my family urged me to take advantage of this opportunity. Now that I am out of college I was wondering if you could share some wisdom with me as to how I should proceed in taking the next steps of my life.”

Question 2: [48:13] - “I am an advocate for capitalism, however there are multiple areas where I think no regulations are actually detrimental. What are the ethical and economic implications of completely free market? Would the world be a better place with a basic economic safety net? Wouldn't a completely free market prevent successful policies from being applied by a fair government? e.g. helping those in need to get back on their feet so they can become productive again which in turn would maximize meritocracy?”

Question 3: [1:46:37] - “I have been listening to your show for more than a year and it has been a life changing experience for me listening to people who call into your shows and talk about their struggles. It seems that always those struggles have something to do with their childhood but apparently, it is not the case for me. I am an immigrant from a Muslim country in US and I did not have a particularly traumatizing childhood. However, I have a very hard time negotiating on my behalf with the people who are higher than me in the hierarchy of authority wherever I am at. And as a particular example of this lack of negotiation skills I find it very difficult and anxiety triggering to talk to females. My ACE score was very low and I cannot understand where this problem comes from. My question is how come that with a low ACE score I still have such a tremendous difficulty negotiating on my behalf and also approaching women. And how can someone like me gain such life transforming skills?”

Question 4: [2:52:17] - “My son died when he was almost 2 years old in 2005. He had batten disease a rare genetic brain disorder. My ex and I adopted 2 boys from foster care years after his death. They are 11 and 7 now. I have a biological daughter who is 13 and did not contract the disease. I've struggled this past year dealing with his death, closing my business and my recent divorce. A few years later I donated my kidney to my father. My question is how can I stop thinking about his death, and him possibly being somewhere in the afterlife, I have constant thoughts about his passing and want to focus on being the best father I can to my 3 kids and not on the past with my ex and son's death.”
