Podcast Description
On Truthache, we talk about the elephant in the room – those edgy topics that everyone is thinking, but afraid to talk about. We bring in a wide range of guests for expertise and perspective. Join us for conversations like: Is investing in the arts charity, a waste or economic development? Does everyone deserve to own a home even if someone else has to fund it? Can the government ever really be efficient, and does it matter how it gets there? Are nonprofits wasting federal funding or doing the government’s dirty work? On Truthache, there’s no sides, just vibes. Join Michael Salemi, Daniel Herndon, and Aaron Douglas and our guests as we cover the hard stuff we all are aching to talk about.

We finally got Joel and Michael in the same room. Two people in the same business, ready to slit each other’s throats.
Instead, they became best friends. Joel is an instinctive businessman who has built an e-commerce business in an industry often filled with small business owners beating the streets. One day, with little to his name, he left his dad’s business and his home in Florida and moved to Indiana. He slapped a website on the internet and turned it into a faucet of money.
In this episode, we talk about how people navigate such an endeavor, how they deal with the competition, including when faced with them on the other side of a podcast studio.
