Ross' Tues Blogcast: A million new self-employed Americans

Today's Guests

Frank McKinney is an interesting guy. After being kicked out of 3 high schools and barely graduating from the 4th, he made his way through life and became an incredibly successful designer (and seller) of very high-end waterfront homes...average sales prices over $10 million. He does remarkable charity work in Haiti, not just giving money away but employing only local Haitians to create self-sustaining villages in that desperately poor country. It's called the Caring House Project. Frank is on an "unconventional book tour", visiting places like homeless shelters and soup kitchens to talk about the messages in his new book, "Aspire!", while also making donations. This should be a very interesting conversation. Again, here's the book link: Aspire! How to Create Your Own Reality and Alter Your DNA (frank-mckinney.com

Sticking with authors, we'll be joined by media lawyer and First Amendment expert Ian Rosenberg whose new comic-book style book is called The Fight for Free Speech: Ten Cases That Define Our First Amendment Freedoms. We'll talk about some very interesting Supreme Court cases and how free speech juris prudence has developed in the United States. Let's just say we have freer speech now than we used to, for which I'm very grateful.

Lindsay Datko of Jeffco Kids First will tell us about their "Quarantined Kids Project". You can learn more here: http://www.jeffcokidsfirst.com/

If you're a car buff you might have heard this story already...but maybe not because it involves cars that, while incredibly cool, are out of the financial reach of almost everybody. The 33-year-old Mate Rimac is really a wonder. Check this out if you love supercars...this one is all-electric: Home - Rimac Automobili (rimac-automobili.com)

And is this the future of travel? (What I wonder about, for real, is preventing mid-air crashes when there are a lot of vehicles like this.)
