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. Today, he’s channeling that same discipline into a mission to help organizations fundraise more consistently (without asking supporters to give more). 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. This conversation dives into joy, gratitude, personal performance, and plenty of memorable acronyms–along with practical insights on purpose-driven leadership and sustainable giving that won’t burn out supporters. 0:00 Intro 1:56 Barry Shore’s Story 6:27 Shifting Your Perspective 11:42 The Everywhere Card & the Billion-Dollar Giving Model 20:55 Rethinking Giving 31:12 Habits, Joy, and Personal Performance 42:05 Real-World Use Cases 45:14 Why This Model Works for Organizations 58:20 Lightning Round 1:02:37 A Hug and a Blessing Resources Mentioned: The Everywhere Card: https://theeverywherecard.com/ Barry’s website:  https://barryshore.com/ 📚 Barry’s books: https://barryshore.com/product-category/books/🔗 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 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. Ryan shares how a simple love of fishing turned into a decades-long passion, how he rebuilt an entire supply chain so every component (yes, including the bags!) came from the U.S., and why customer service has become their most powerful differentiator. This conversation is part entrepreneurship masterclass, part manufacturing deep-dive, and fully aligned with the Liberty Spenders mission: building businesses grounded in values, conviction, and real human connection. Big takeaways from this episode: • How a veteran rebuilt an entire supply chain to stay true to his values • Why “packaged in America” is NOT the same as “Made in America” • The surprising truth about brand loyalty inside the fishing world • Why answering the customer service phone himself changed everything • How Freedom Baitz introduces new people to fishing with confidence • The role family still plays in running the business • What rising entrepreneurs should know before reshoring manufacturing This episode is for business owners and entrepreneurs who believe craftsmanship still matters, values still matter, and America still matters. 0:00 Intro 0:37 Meet Ryan & the world of fishing 3:23 From military service to rediscovering fishing as passion 6:09 Growing Freedom Baitz into a national veteran-owned brand 8:09 Why Made in America isn’t easy 12:28 Finally building a fully American supply chain 15:47 The family backbone behind Freedom Baitz 17:37 Trends shaping the fishing industry today 20:31 What creates real brand loyalty 23:45 Customer service that shocks customers 27:36 Why beginners should start with live bait 30:56 How Freedom Baitz is spreading brand awareness 34:49 Product failures, pivots, and customer feedback 36:04 Lightning Round Resources Mentioned: Freedom Baitzhttps://www.freedombaitz.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 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.

What if Big Tech was listening to every call, reading every message, and watching every move you make online? According to Dr. John Reese, that’s not a “what if” — it’s reality. This week on The Liberty Spenders™ Podcast, Kurt and Kristen sit down with Dr. John Reese — Air Force veteran, dentist-turned-entrepreneur, and founder of Titanium Communications, the first U.S.-based, quantum-resistant communications platform designed to keep your conversations private and your data secure. From mobile dental clinics for underserved kids to cutting-edge secure technology, Dr. Reese’s journey is one of service, innovation, and protecting American freedom. In this eye-opening conversation, you’ll learn: - How “free” communication tools cost you more than you think. The data your business gives away fuels competitors, weakens your brand’s security, and exposes your clients. - The hidden risks inside everyday tools like Zoom, WhatsApp, and Google. Why your team meetings and client calls might already be recorded, analyzed, and stored — and what to use instead. - How AI and quantum computing are changing the rules of cybersecurity. The next wave of threats could make today’s encryption obsolete — unless you’re prepared. - Practical ways entrepreneurs can protect their businesses and families. From avoiding AI scams to securing financial data and client communications, learn simple steps to safeguard what you’ve built. - Why privacy is the new competitive advantage. In a world of constant tracking, brands that prioritize integrity and data protection will win the trust of Liberty-minded consumers. Dr. Reese shares how Titanium Communications gives you the power to take back control of your privacy. Discover why protecting your privacy may be one of the most important freedom-defending moves you can make.
