Last night I had to endure something I wouldn't wish on anyone: I had to sit through a Ted Cruz clip.
Some of you may have seen me, in fact: I was live on on Liberty Vault, the Dave Benner podcast. There are very few people I would have endured that Cruz ordeal for, but Dave is one of them.
If you don't know Dave, he's been working in the trenches for many years -- he says we met in 2013, but I could have sworn it was earlier. He must have written millions of words by now, and his insights and historical knowledge are top notch -- his biography of Thomas Paine is a genuine pleasure to read.
Well, now he has a YouTube channel with nearly 400,000 subscribers, and it couldn't have happened to a better guy.
We talked about Tulsi Gabbard's resignation, William Jennings Bryan, Joe Kent, Ted Cruz, the Covid fiasco, and what in heaven's name we should be doing now. I think you'll enjoy it:
Speaking of Covid, I happened to run into Dave in person in 2021 at an Opeth concert in Nashville, where Dave lives -- I was there because the closest city to me on the tour was Atlanta, and the venue there was requiring masks and "proof of vaccination."
But good ol' Nashville wasn't requiring a thing, so Jenna and I got our tickets for the show there. Knowing Dave was a fan, I texted him during the show to tell him we were there. Turns out he was there, too -- in exactly the same row we were.
I'm such a Dave Benner fan, in fact, that when I had an extra ticket to attend a NHL game in Nashville -- the Predators' home opener -- in a private suite with my Elite Mastermind, I invited Dave to join us.
Dave is the one in the hat. As you can see, Mayor Glenn Jacobs -- the former Kane of the WWE -- also joined us at my invitation. I told you my mastermind does fun things.
As it happens, before we went live on the show last night, Dave told me something: that night he'd gotten to know Paul Counts, who directs the mastermind with me. He said, "Paul has opened up a world of opportunities for me and my brand. I can't thank him enough."
All because he attended a single hockey game with us, as a special one-time guest.
We hear a lot about how "the rich get richer." And usually it's insinuated that they get richer by underhanded means (and indeed in the case of the politically connected ones, they often do).
But a key way the rich get richer, or the well-off grow rich, is by the company they keep.
