Episode Details

Ashe in America sits down with Badlands' own Jonathan Drake for an episode called What Are You Building? They dig into the Supreme Court taking up the federal ban on home distilleries, Justice Gorsuch and the administrative state, and why regulation keeps getting in the way of small business. Drake talks about leaving the steady paycheck to build his own custom woodworking business, from Gandalf pipes to theater props like a spinning bed for Fiddler on the Roof and a Mary Poppins umbrella. From there they get into AI as a creative tool, centralization versus decentralization, building your own income instead of climbing the ladder, decentralized peer-to-peer tools, and the upcoming GART stop in St. Pete Beach. Ashe also previews her Supreme Court series America's High Court, coming out Wednesday.
