In this powerful episode of The Average Intelligence Podcast, Jake welcomes special guest Lisa Ekman, author of Deprogramming Democrats & Un-Educating the Elites. Lisa reveals how once-pragmatic liberalism morphed into what she calls the “woke mind virus” — a radical left culture war that silences dissent and hijacks freedom.Drawing on her own journey and hard-hitting research, Lisa explains how today’s progressive movement has flipped the script: instead of championing freedom, it often enforces groupthink; instead of questioning power, it becomes the power. This conversation digs into the roots of the problem and offers real strategies to wake up, walk out, and rebuild a culture of individual thought.Tune in. Think hard.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
