In this podcast, we tackle talk about the challenges and rewards of working from home with kids in the house. We talk tips like treating specific parts of the house a certain way and the value of noise canceling headphones. The second part of the conversation is our discussion started off with an innocent question from our 4-year old on "Dad, what are you doing in there?" when asking about why I lock myself in a bedroom for work. That got me thinking about how we can involve the whole family in the process of value creation together.

In this episode, we explore the complexities of authority, from the consent of the governed to the potential pitfalls of earned expertise, based on our recent trip to Austria, which is a socialist country. We discuss how different economic systems, like capitalism and socialism, shape power dynamics and individual freedoms. We also examine the dangers of hyper-individualism, where personal determination of right and wrong can lead to influential but maybe wrong experts.
