Today we welcome a very special guest back to the show: Ron Simmons, aka Allie's dad. We have a family-themed episode ahead of Father's Day, but first, we talk a little bit about the state of the economy and America in general. Ron gives his take on why inflation is so out of control and why gas and other necessities are so expensive right now. Then, we talk about Ron's past and how he himself was able to overcome financial hardship in the 80s to end up with his family and a successful business. We discuss the importance of fatherhood and intact families and how to deal with strong-willed kids. At the end of the show, Ron talks about the future of the country and why be believes that things absolutely will get better in America.\n\n---\n\nToday's Sponsors:\n\n\nEdenPURE \u2014 3 Thunderstorm Air Purifiers for under $200 at EdenPureDeals.com.
