In this episode of Ryes Up, we take on the cycle no one seems willing to break—recycling the same candidates, the same talking points, and the same results… while expecting something different.

This isn’t about personalities—it’s about a system that rewards predictability over progress. And if we’re honest, it’s not working.

We dig into what it means to step outside of party-line politics, challenge the status quo, and actually listen to the people who live here—not the playbook handed down from the top.

Because this campaign isn’t here to fit the mold—it’s here to break it.

If you’re ready for something real, something accountable, and something built with the community instead of around it—this conversation is for you.

We don’t need another version of the same. We need a different path forward. And it starts here.

In this episode we talk about the $2 Trillion a year industry of Scamming. How it negatively impacts us all, especially our elders along with how we can reclaim these lost resources while enhancing our society.

Our Federal Government established a Poverty Guideline in the 60's. We still use that same metric over 60 years later. Does it hold water, can it be that we've changed how we live enough to need to raise that bar? Let us discuss :)

In this episode we will discuss the growing concerns over Housing. Why is it considered a crisis when we have over 250,000 vacant homes in Washington State alone? Is this crisis a philosophical problem more than a supply issue? Are we being lead to this conclusion by those who seek to profit or by honest analysis?

Aloha, in this episode we will be discussing the City of Bellingham's actions regarding the Post Point Incinerator and how compliance and leadership are not necessarily the same thing. Spending millions on an outdated system to stay in compliance or rising up to the occasion and innovating for futuristic solutions. Join the conversation and help us Rise Up Better Together!
