Upcoming: Episode 68 – Time Travel & the End

Sunday, July 26th, 2009

This week, in a complete departure, the Libertarian Dime will have on Bob Otis, time travel researcher and author.

As evidenced by countless books, TV shows and movies, including Star Trek and Quantum Leap, we’re all fascinated by the prospect of time travel and exploring other eras. How close is science to making it possible? And, if we mastered time travel, what could we discover about other ages and peoples? What might we change in history? What might we regret? And where in time would we go first?

Time travel researcher Bob Otis explores such questions about unlocking the secrets to time travel in his fascinating new book, A TESTIMONY OF LIONS.

This will be the final episode of the Libertarian Dime as well. We’ll explain more on the episode and in a future post, but this will be it. Thanks so much for everyone’s support over the last sixteen months.

Episode 67 – Back to Three

Sunday, July 26th, 2009

This past week, for the first time in two months, the Dime planned not to have any guests. Shane, Jonathan and Mike started a round table discussion on current events, the Libertarian Party, and how the two intersect. Later, a listener from the UK rang to discuss government oppression and the conversation drifted into whether 9/11 and 7/7 were inside jobs (they weren’t btw). An interesting show for sure!

For the second week in a row, the Dime featured a non-political show. This week’s guest was Curtis Weaver, aka CW. CW’s bio:

“CW Weaver lives a fabulous life and inspires others to do the same. His mentors and friends are some of the country’s top visionary leaders, including Jim Rohn, Marshall Sylver, Harv Eker, and Les Brown. CW is a successful real estate investor and publisher of Creating Customers for Life.

A lifelong entrepreneur who knows how to sell, CW’s record as Maryland’s #1 automobile salesman still stands, and he is also known as the greatest Retractable Awning Salesman in the World.”

CW talked about his life as a salesman, ethical ways to sell, and offered advice useful to anyone in the sales business. CW’s stories led into a discussion about sales and sales in the internet age, both augmented by CW’s vast experience. A very interesting show, needed in this economy.

Episode 64 – Meet Thomas Armour

Monday, July 6th, 2009

This week, The Dime took a break from politics to offer something up to our listeners that might help those looking for work, wanting to make a career change, or simply want to advance at a current job. Thomas Armour was our guest and we had a fun time exploring the somewhat simple, yet important concept of listening.

“Thomas Armour estimates that over 15 million Americans are out of work. In this severe economic downtown, jobs are hard to hold onto, and even harder to find when you find yourself in the unemployment line.

Employment and sales training expert Tom Armour says the #1 skill you need to develop in order to navigate this tougher than ever job market is…LISTENING. Being a good listener, and then responding to what you learn when listening, is crucial in so many ways, especially now. And unfortunately, most Americans are much better at talking than listening, which has become something of a lost art.”

Also, in the first part of the show, Shane explained more about Intelligent Design and it’s direct lineage to Creationism.
