  • Great Listen… Never Miss

    Love this podcast, try to never miss one. 1 idea that would be interesting …. Having a specific counter discussion with 2 guests. Example Peter L and someone who thinks the nation’s debt is a problem. I think it would be great discussion and Mr Walker could intelligently steer the conversation. Thank you for work you do in putting this together.

  • Top Notch Program - we are blessed to have it!!

    It is inspiring to listen to and receive an unbiased dialogue between Willy and the amazing guests he has on the WD podcasts. What a gift and reprieve from the majority of news and educational programs that are spewing propaganda and narratives driven by their or their bosses/owners agenda.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jim Collins, Bestselling Author
Q: But do these people succeed because they keep doing what they knew or because they deliberately push themselves into unfamiliar territory?
Collins describes an “extend out, circle back” pattern: people renew themselves by exploring new pursuits while returning to familiar strengths and work.
Jim Collins, Bestselling Author
Q: Did you discover something, Jim, while researching and writing this book about yourself that genuinely surprised you?
Collins realized that what he had regarded as discipline was chiefly an intense love of his work, supported by routines that made it effective.
Larry Sabato, Founder and Director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics
Q: Will we see continued resistance to data center development across the country?
Sabato expects resistance to continue because opposition has reached local communities. He says developers should plan for community concerns, locate facilities carefully, and ensure local residents do not subsidize their electricity costs.
Larry Sabato, Founder and Director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics
Q: Do you look to the prediction markets today and put a lot of credence in the numbers that are coming back from them?
Sabato considers prediction markets alongside other information, but cautions that they often reflect polling and public opinion and can be tilted by large outside bets.
Dr. Peter Linneman, Leading Economist, Professor Emeritus, The Wharton School of Business Part 27
Q: If you had $100 million of equity to invest in commercial real estate right now, where would you put it?
Linneman would invest with a seven-to-twelve-year horizon in apartments in high-growth markets where little new housing is being built, such as Austin, Nashville and Charlotte, while allowing four or five years for rent growth to materialize.
