Polling the Pulse of Americans – Digging Deeper to Discover Truth – with Mark Mitchell – [Ep. 268]
Prosperity 101, LLCPolitical polling and punditry often go hand in hand; however, polls can be structured to bring forth reactions sought by funders of the polls. This can lead to propagandized messaging and an inaccurate understanding of people’s true opinions. While polling can never be perfect, the best pollsters will dig deeper in questioning to discover truth, not just answers to support a preferred narrative. In this episode, Linda interviews Mark Mitchell, head pollster at Rasmussen Reports. Mark’s extensive and diverse military and business career provides unique insights into structuring polls for maximum accuracy. As a proven and trusted voice in political insights, his commentary will shed light on what’s really happening in the hearts and minds of American citizens and will inspire listeners to support freedom.

New Media vs. Old Media – Making Your News – with Sam Anthony – [Ep. 267]
Prosperity 101, LLCLegacy media is dying. Cable networks have record low viewers, especially among people, and new media is becoming the new normal. Consuming news is no longer something we do by turning on the TV for a specific broadcast at a designated time. News is now reviewed throughout the day through a steady flow of information form streaming services, emails, and social media apps. Independent journalists and average citizens documenting their first-hand accounts have revolutionized our consumption habits and broken through the wall of corporate media and/or government censorship. Sam Anthony, Founder and CEO of YourNews Media, joined Linda to discuss this trend and to share how he is working to support freedom of speech through his innovative online news platform which provides relevant local news to citizens all over America. ©Copyright 2025, 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.

Protecting American Workers - with Rosemary Jenks – [Ep. 265]
Prosperity 101, LLCWhat happens when companies prioritize lower cost, non-citizen workers to fill jobs previously held by American citizens? This has happened to millions of American workers in many segments of our labor force, including highly skilled STEM workers. Our complicated visa system allows for loopholes that put hard-working citizens at risk, which impacts our culture, economy, communities, and families across the nation. The H1-B visa is most discussed, but many visa types are being misused to circumvent fair wage and employment practices. Listen as Linda and Rosemary Jenks, Co-Founder and Policy Director at the Immigration Accountability Project, discuss action steps needed to protect the American worker. This issue affects every segment of our society, and is important for employers, employes, students, and retirees. ©Copyright 2025, 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.

The Electoral College and Federalism - with Michael C. Maibach - [Ep.260]
Prosperity 101, LLCWhat is the Electoral College and how does it preserve states’ rights and protect the voices of our citizens? We often see messages from media pundits and activists calling for “national popular vote” reforms and pleas to “count all votes.” What would those changes mean to our country and to freedoms we cherish? With Linda to discuss these often-asked questions is Michael Maibach, Policy Advisor for The American Civil Rights Union and Distinguished Fellow for Save Our States. Michael provides 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, which is why every American will benefit from understanding the importance of this process. Listen today for information and action items to guide you as you seek to become an educated and engaged citizen.
