Four years ago, we embarked on a mission to bring the wisdom of great books directly to you in an accessible format. Today, we're celebrating this incredible milestone with a special behind-the-scenes look at our journey.
Come celebrate with us!! 🥳🙌😀👊👏
What began as a passion project has blossomed into a comprehensive wisdom archive with nearly 12,000 downloads across 554 episodes. We've covered an astonishing 500+ unique books, delivering their insights through 66 Liberty Minutes, 421 Mojo Minutes, 41 Catholic Corners, and numerous special episodes. Each segment has been created with one purpose: helping you build a flourishing life based on timeless principles and actionable wisdom.
Our three cornerstone series represent the heart of our work. The "Foundations and Flourishing" series tackles everything from physical habits to spiritual practices, emphasizing the crucial role of virtue in creating a meaningful life. Our "Pivotal Elections" series examines how America's democratic processes have shaped both individual liberty and national prosperity from 1912 through 1980. And our recent "Lovers of Liberty" series provides a crash course in five essential books as we approach America's semiquincentennial celebration. Each of these collections offers a roadmap for personal development rooted in centuries of accumulated wisdom.
Looking toward our fifth year, we remain energized by the possibilities ahead. The digital revolution has democratized access to knowledge, making it easier than ever to encounter transformative ideas. Meanwhile, we're witnessing encouraging signs of cultural renewal, particularly in the growing acceptance of faith perspectives in public discourse.
Your engagement through reviews, messages, and personal feedback has sustained this journey, and we're profoundly grateful for every listener who has joined us along the way.

Welcome to the Theory to Action podcast, where we examine the timeless treasures of wisdom from the great books in less time, to help you take action immediately and ultimately to create and lead a flourishing life. Now here's your host, david Kaiser. Flourishing life Now, here's your host, david Kaiser.
Speaker 2:Hello, I am David, and welcome back to another Mojo Minute, and a special Mojo Minute it is. This is our episode 554. And, folks, we just passed our four-year anniversary for this podcast. Time flies when you're having fun, doesn't it? In fact, here's a peek behind the curtain for all you loyal listeners. First of all, thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. This has been a passion project that I have had in my heart for a long time. I didn't know the platform that will allow all this to come out, and this podcast audio format is the best platform for me. So I thank you humbly for showing up each and every week. For all you loyal listeners out there, thank you. Your feedback in person, with reviews, with text messages on my personal cell phone, or even through the new service on the platform, is very. All of that is very, very appreciated. I know we're all busy, very appreciated, I know we're all busy. So any amount of time that you listen, I and the team are grateful and we hope we bless you with the information and the inspiration through some of the good books and great books that we have covered over the years. So, with that said I, here's a little peek behind the scenes. Everybody likes the behind the scenes tours, so to speak, and so here's some of the stats that we have accumulated over the past four years. We are approaching 12,000 downloads. Total, we have released 66 Liberty Minutes, 421 Mojo Minutes, 41 Catholic Corners, 421 Mojo minutes, 41 Catholic corners and a host of special episodes that is just, frankly, too hard to calculate. We have covered most likely by our back of the envelope math a lot of books over the last four years. We estimate over 500 unique books we have covered over the past four years Holy smokes. Now we have released three major series. We call them Foundations and Flourishing. Check them out on the website where they're archived A personal seven-part series from everything to exercise, to systems, to habits, to mindset, to virtue Virtue, by the way, plays a big role in trying to live a flourishing life.
Speaker 2:We talk about virtues in depth in there, the cardinal virtues, the theological virtues, and we end with prayer, which is foundation stone of everything we do here. Then we have covered American political elections, the pivotal elections, because our system of government and our political processes affects how we as human beings flourish or don't flourish on a personal basis, but it also affects how we as a country flourishes in the macro, and that's very important. We can't only be concerned with flourishing ourselves and say to heck with everyone else. That's not good for the civil society, nor is it good for our neighbor, and we're called to love our neighbor as ourselves. So the political process and our elections are important. We can't just stick our head in the sand and say, doesn't concern me. So with that all said, we've covered the pivotal elections over the last 100 years and how our country has gotten to this point. That is a seven-part series as well. We start with the 1912 election and we come all the way fast forward to the 1980 election as the most pivotal elections in modern American history.
Speaker 2:Now that all said, let me say a little caveat here, a little asterisk. A little caveat here, a little asterisk the 2024 election might be added to that seven-part series, because what has happened in the last six months might soon change the trajectory of our country permanently. A little reference to our last Mojo Minute, a little insight here here that we might be looking at a complete demographic change from the FDR coalition which began in the 1930s, being completely dismantled by Donald Trump in the new GOP. We're going to let things play out a little bit more to see how the dust settles, but the early returns, the early forecast is looking promising. Now the main point is to live a flourishing life and to know our country's history.
Speaker 2:And, that said, we just covered the Lovers of Liberty series. Five books in five days. We gave you a crash course in five books we believe are worthy of your time to celebrate our country's 249th birthday or 249th anniversary and, more importantly, to give you a solid foundation to then celebrate our 250th anniversary coming next year in July, our 250th anniversary coming next year in July 2026. So you can start reading now those books. There there's three fantastic in-depth series is to binge on, from personal flourishing to understanding our most pivotal elections, to understanding our country's rich history. So there is much, much to chew on. You can check out those in-depth series at teammojoacademycom. Teammojoacademycom At the top. We have a Foundations in Flourishing link there that will get you to the right spot Again teammojoacademycom. Drop down menu Foundations in Flourishing. So to wrap up this special anniversary celebration episode happy fourth year anniversary, folks. Thank you again, most especially to all the loyal listeners. We appreciate you greatly, listeners. We appreciate you greatly.
Speaker 2:We are excited for this fifth year and for our up and coming 250th birthday of our country's existence. We want to celebrate that with you. We want to celebrate how far our country has come in those last 250 years. We want to celebrate the great books that tell that story and celebrate the new books that are coming out on how to personally flourish, too.
Speaker 2:We believe the future is bright. We are excited to share our faith on how our culture is changing. Our Christian and Catholic faith is becoming far more accepted. At no time in my lifetime. The amount of fantastic items to help turn that culture around is almost endless. Everywhere we turn, there is great products and books and online courses coming out in this new digital revolution that we are all in the middle of. So the future looks bright in that domain, too. We are excited, as all get out, for the next year and for our five-year anniversary of this podcast. So again, thank you for four exciting years. We look forward to serving you again and we will keep fighting the good fight right alongside you all the way. High fives and knuckle bumps.
