Adam McGuire joins Eric to share how NorthFest, part of PorcFest: Spontaneous Order, is bringing people to New Hampshire’s North Country for three days of community, entrepreneurship, and liberty focused culture. The conversation explores what makes the region unique, from affordable living and strong family oriented values to the growing network of Free Staters and business owners putting down roots there. Adam also gives an inside look at the Pine Clubhouse and how it is becoming a hub for connection, events, and institution building in one of New Hampshire’s most scenic regions.
Austin Petersen joins Eric for a wide-ranging conversation about the future of the liberty movement, challenging old assumptions about foreign policy, nationalism, immigration, and the role of government. Drawing from years in politics, media, and activism, Austin lays out his vision for what he calls “libertarian nationalism,” arguing for a movement rooted not just in freedom, but also in culture, responsibility, and national identity. The discussion dives into some of the biggest ideological fault lines inside libertarian circles, from intervention abroad to borders and the limits of the non-aggression principle. Austin brings a provocative perspective that challenges listeners to rethink some of libertarianism’s most deeply held assumptions.
Niklas Anzinger joins Eric to discuss how biotech innovation and alternative governance models are opening new possibilities for healthcare and entrepreneurship. He shares insights from his work with experimental regulatory environments and efforts to expand patient access to cutting-edge treatments. The conversation highlights New Hampshire’s growing role as a potential biotech hub and a testing ground for policy innovation. More broadly, it explores how emerging technologies are challenging traditional systems and reshaping the future of medicine.
Eric talks with Free State organizer, Jaime Hussey about the growing momentum behind the Free State movement and what it means to actively build a culture of liberty in New Hampshire. They discuss a new initiative inviting both longtime residents and newcomers to formally declare their commitment to that vision. The conversation highlights how community, shared values, and personal initiative are shaping a decentralized movement on the ground. It also touches on upcoming events and opportunities to connect, contribute, and experience the Free State lifestyle firsthand.
Naomi Brockwell joins Eric to explore how modern technology is transforming the fight for freedom, especially as digital surveillance quietly erodes Fourth Amendment protections and gives governments broad access to personal data. They discuss the debate over surveillance powers like FISA 702, the hidden cost of “free” tech platforms, and how everyday tools feed massive data collection systems. Naomi also points to privacy-focused technologies as a way for individuals to push back and regain control, making the case that defending freedom in the digital age starts with personal choices.
Eric reflects on the continued growth and evolution of the Free State movement, highlighting the steady influx of new movers and the strong sense of community that continues to draw people in. He also shares a major leadership update as longtime figure Carla Gericke steps back after years of shaping the movement, recognizing her significant contributions to the movement. He discusses the future of PorcFest as the event faces changes, and touches on the importance of community-building traditions like welcome efforts and local gatherings. It’s a look at the evolution of the Free State and the possibilities ahead.
Eric talks with Ian Huyett, a lobbyist and legal advocate working at the intersection of biotechnology, law, and public policy in New Hampshire. The discussion explores how the state is uniquely positioned to become a national leader in experimental biotech, thanks to its proximity to Boston, its flexible legal environment, and its culture of political innovation. Huyett breaks down the concept of “biotech freedom,” including right-to-try laws that allow patients greater access to experimental treatments while reducing regulatory barriers. The conversation also touches on the broader vision of building a thriving, competitive economy rooted in individual liberty and scientific advancement. Through both policy insight and big-picture thinking, the episode paints a compelling picture of New Hampshire as a potential hub for the next wave of medical innovation.
Eric shares updates on the continued growth of the Free State Project, from successful outreach efforts to expanding events and media, all aimed at bringing more people into the movement. He frames these developments as part of a broader push to build stronger communities and create real opportunities for people to engage with what’s happening in New Hampshire. The episode then transitions into his 2026 “State of the Free State” remarks, *A Culture of Builders*, where he reflects on how far the movement has come while considering the challenges ahead. At the heart of his message is the idea that lasting progress comes from action—encouraging a focus on building, creating, and making tangible change in the real world.
