    Apr 23 2025

    We don't break the rules to cheat; we break them to improve. When conventional wisdom grows stale and unhelpful, it's the contrarians who lead the way to make investing, business, and life better. And the same is true in sports. Punting? Bunting? It's time we take a look, with the help of sports journalist, Kimball Crossley, at some sports rules that need breaking.

  • Every Purchase Matters, with Paul Rice
    Apr 9 2025

    Today David hosts the founder and CEO of Fair Trade USA, Paul Rice, who explains how trade can be more effective than aid in improving the world's economic issues.
