Locally Grown with Jim Fini
Jim Fini
In my book, Locally Grown: The Art of Sustainable Government, I talk about how our country's bottom up design of 20,000 zip codes, 50 states and 1 Federal government, brilliantly distributes power within that bottom-up infrastructure. Our Founders intended most governance to be done locally. And about the inherent dangers of too much centralized power. My book exposes the unsustainability of our government debt and the awful bargain we make when we exchange freedom for security. I introduce readers to Locally Grown principles like sustainability, accountability, the double-bottom line, harnessing excess capacity, simplification, and engaged citizenship. I make the case that returning to our federalist roots through Locally Grown principles is the path to sustainable, effective government that better serves the “Common Good.”

Just like e-commerce internet companies in the 1990's, most crypto projects won't succeed. However, the ones that do transform our world. In the last decade, Bitcoin and Ethereum emerged as two of those transformers. If you invested $2000 in ETH five years ago, you'd be retired now. This is because the ETH improvement on blockchain architecture is the platform upon which other disrupters will build their applications. My guest Putnam from Stormborn Partners and I will try to unpack all this and more. Join us!
Episode 28 - The Twelve Days of Christmas
Locally Grown with Jim Fini
12/25/20 • 18 min
Christmas is a joyous time that calls us all to be grateful, enjoy family, and think about others. But there is also no denying the fact that Jesus was a revolutionary who was unafraid to speak truth to power. He had the ultimate skin in the game and that is what all of us need to do more of. Get out of our comfort zones, help our fellow man, speak truth to power and keep the flame of liberty shining bright. My New Year's resolution is to put more skin in the game.

Episode 57: Artificial Intelligence Explains Locally Grown Government
Locally Grown with Jim Fini
11/20/24 • 36 min
AI read my 285-page book and produced a cool podcast summarizing the key ideas. Google LM Notebook created a podcast with natural human characters talking. Complicated subject matter is boiled down to layman’s terms so it’s understandable with a level of interaction that is indistinguishable from real humans. I was blown away.

United We Stand 2 - CoronApocalypse
Locally Grown with Jim Fini
06/09/20 • 16 min
I marvel at the hubris of humans who think that we can design perfect societies and control nature. And then nature comes along and teaches us yet again that it is in charge and can change the world overnight. We went from the best economy in decades to a global Coronavirus pandemic that is threatening to usher in a global depression.

For those of you who have been listening to my podcast and reading my blogs, you know that I periodically focus on making a stronger more sustainable you, by bringing in interesting, smart guests who can help you make money. Last year I had Whitney Tilson to help you align your investments with the macro-trends he sees in the world. This week I am continuing that effort focusing on you, albeit from maybe a little different direction. My guest, Lyn Alden’s investment service, was introduced to me a really smart friend of mine, Dave Baggett who was also a guest on this show.
Lyn’s background lies in the intersection of engineering and finance. What a great combination. She has a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and a master’s degree in engineering management, with a focus on economics and financial modeling. She has been doing investment research for over fifteen years in various public and private capacities. Her work has been featured in Business Insider, Marketwatch, The Daily Telegraph, The Street, CNBC, US News and World Report, Seeking Alpha, Kiplinger and many other media outlets. You can subscribe to Lyn’s newsletter for free at www.lynalden.com, which is how I got started. This led to me joining her very reasonably priced premium membership, where I get access to her model portfolios and proprietary investment research.
