There is considerable debate regarding the widespread use of surveillance technologies that monitor and track citizens as they lawfully go about everyday activities. Communities are being forced to reconsider contracts with companies that provide detailed surveillance as citizens have expressed opposition to the constant monitoring without due cause. Many proponents claim the technologies provide a measure of security, but concerned citizens ask at what cost? What are our rights regarding private use of surveillance cameras vs. government use of surveillance cameras? Who owns the data? Who can have access to the data? How can citizens be protected from unreasonable or unwarranted surveillance or searches? What happens when we trade liberty for perceived security? Linda invited Daniel Lennington, Managing Vice President and Deputy Counsel at Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, to discuss the various implications of using surveillance technologies and to learn how we can guard our rights as protected under the Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution. Their enlightening discussion brings clarity to the issue for those who desire to be informed on this topic.   ©Copyright 2026, Prosperity 101, LLC __________________________________________________________ The Fourth Amendment to the US Constitution "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."  For information about our online course and other resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity® by Linda J.

In the early 1990's, over 50% of the apparel purchased in the U.S. was made in America. By 2017, only 2.7% was American made. Communities and families suffered devastating losses as jobs were shipped overseas and quality was often sacrificed for lower costs. Linda's guest in this episode, Dean Wegner, wanted to curb that trend and decided to act boldly on his conviction to support domestic manufacturing. As the founder and CEO of Authentically American, a premium, veteran-owned U.S. apparel brand, Dean is committed to supporting domestic manufacturing and American workers. Their lively discussion included topics on leadership, business development, employee relations, patriotism, faith, and courage.  ©Copyright 2026, Prosperity 101, LLC __________________________________________________________ For information about our online course and other resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity® by Linda J.

America is incredibly unique. Our system of government allows for wonderful real-time  examples of what works and what doesn't when it comes to human flourishing, freedom,  and citizen engagement. Each state can be viewed as a laboratory of democracy as policies promoted by state governments positively or negatively impact citizens. We have  seen an incredible population redistribution happening in our country as highly populated  states like New York or California are losing residents and other states like Florida or Texas  are gaining residents. Why? As many individuals have decide to vote with their feet, we can  see trends regarding the most successful policies for personal, corporate, and  governmental prosperity. With Linda to explore the trends is Jonathan Williams, President  of American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). They discuss the insights gleaned from  data outlined in the ALEC Rich States, Poor States guide, which is published annually to  provide comprehensive information on policies that truly lead to economic prosperity and  freedom.

Immigration is always a hot -and often emotional - topic, yet few people truly understand the impact immigration policies have on their daily lives, finances, and freedoms. Immigration touches every segment of society and impacts every community. Every town is a border town when immigration policies allow for open borders, financial fraud, rampant crime, and cultural upheaval. How do we continue our promise of freedom to immigrants while protecting the rights of our American citizens?  As policy details are swallowed in news cycles and impacts are often ignored until irreversible, Todd Bensman, Linda's guest in this episode, brings clarity and truth to the conversation, all based on his years as a journalist, policy analyst, and counterterrorism expert. Todd served as Senior National Security Fellow for the Center for Immigration Studies and as Senior Adviser to the US Department of Homeland Security and the National Counterterrorism Center. He now serves as a Senior Research Fellow for The Heritage Foundation's Border Security and Immigration Center. Todd has testified before Congress and written extensively to alert American citizens regarding the negative national security implications of open-border policies and to provide insight on providing safeguards for citizens and legal immigrants. This is an important episode you will not want to miss.

Human trafficking can take on many forms, and, in most instances, is hiding in plain sight. Victims may be suffering in your child's school, sports team, or youth group, and others may be in your neighborhood or workplace. The hardest to detect may be in your family or even your place of worship. Never think you or your family are immune to the painful effects of trafficking. It is a crime that truly spreads beyond the victim and creates a devastating toll on individuals, families, and communities. Linda explores this topic with her guest, Tami Brown Rodriquez, CEO of Untrafficked, an organization advancing trafficking prevention and digital safety, intervention and victim recovery, survivor-centered solutions, and policy reforms to strengthen penalties for perpetrators of child exploitation and trafficking. Listen to learn of helpful resources for education, prevention, intervention, and healing. Whether you are a business leader, parent, or student – this episode may help you prevent someone you love from being trafficked.

As we celebrate two hundred and fifty years of freedom in America, it is good to pause and reflect on the blessings of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Every July 4th is filled with parades, picnics, and people enjoying freedoms we often take for granted. Fireworks may light evening skies, but do we truly understand the fragility of freedom or our role in preserving it? Dr. James (Jim) Garlow, Linda's guest in this episode, discusses historical truths from our nation's founders and how their ideologies and ideas influence our lives today. He also offers an exciting opportunity to learn about our history and governmental system – especially as seen through a Biblical lens – through a program called More Than Fireworks. Designed for individual or group participation, the More Than Fireworks series can be used in families or businesses to bring awareness and understanding regarding the incredible blessings and enormous responsibilities we have as American citizens. The series starts July 4, so be sure to listen to this episode and share with friends. Celebrate freedom with More Than Fireworks!  ©Copyright 2026, Prosperity 101, LLC __________________________________________________________ For information about our online course and other resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity® by Linda J.

What is the Electoral College and how does it preserve states' rights and protect the votes of American citizens? Some media pundits and activists are calling for "national popular vote" reforms. What would those changes mean to our country and to freedoms we cherish? Harry Roth, Director of Outreach at Save Our States, joined Linda to discuss this important topic. Harry shared historically grounded and constitutionally sound insights into how the Electoral College protects minority rights, prevents regional domination, and ensures that small and large states have a voice in presidential elections. The Electoral College provides a stabilizing force to ensure states' rights and citizen voices are protected. A clear understanding of the importance of this process is essential for every American who cares about the impact of their vote on the future of our country. Don't get swayed by headlines or emotional pleas. Learn the facts and protect your freedom.  ©Copyright 2026, Prosperity 101, LLC __________________________________________________________ For information about our online course and other resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity® by Linda J.

Immigration is a hot topic – as it should be for any nation that cares about sovereignty and freedom. Many voices clamor for attention and emotions run high. How can we know truth and discern which policies help – or hurt - American citizens? How do immigration policies affect our citizen labor force? Linda's guest in this episode is Rosemary Jenks, Policy Director at the Immigration Accountability Project, an organization formed to educate voters on immigration issues and related actions of elected officials. Their lively conversation brings greater awareness of this complex subject as they discuss real-life effects of various immigration policies on American workers and families. Rosemary also shared timely details on upcoming legislation and provided resources for educational information.  ©Copyright 2026, Prosperity 101, LLC __________________________________________________________ For information about our online course and other resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity® by Linda J.

Politicians plan for the next election. Statesmen plan for the next generation. Strategic short-term thinking may help win elections, but long-term thinking is needed to preserve culture and protect our God-given rights as outlined in the Constitution. Our education system has often failed to teach basic skills and critical thinking needed for successful employment, leadership, and responsible citizenship. Preparing young people to lead our nation wisely cannot be left to government.  Many parents realize this and choose to educate children at home. With Linda to discuss this growing trend (and how it affects the workplace) is Robert Bortins, CEO of Classical Conversations, an organization serving homeschool families worldwide. They discuss the decline of public education, the rise of home schooling, the demand for home educated students in the workplace, and the need for employers to promote quality educational opportunities for all employees and their families.    ©Copyright 2026, Prosperity 101, LLC __________________________________________________________ For information about our online course and other resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity® by Linda J.
