On today's show, we have the great honor of sitting down with 2024 U.S. presidential candidate, Dr. Rollan Roberts II. Dr. Roberts is the former CEO of the Hoverboard company, and he's been in executive leadership at several other organizations.
As the former U.S. delegation to South Sudan, he's done extensive work throughout the continent of Africa on behalf of the U.S. government. He's worked with foreign leaders of many nations, and he's seen the best and the worst of how the U.S. government treats its allies and its enemies.
He's an accomplished author, having written several books - and now he's set his sights on the 2024 U.S. presidency. We cover a lot of topics in today's discussion, including foreign policy, national defense, Africa, immigration, AI, education, and much more.

Sometimes, as entrepreneurs, dads, and husbands, it seems like the list never ends and that down-time is something we’ve heard exists but have never been lucky enough to see - like unicorns 🦄 or big foot 🦶….
This week has been a wild ride for both of us, and it has us reflecting on where the time goes. Why is it that some people are always productive and have free time, while others are always fighting to keep up?
We decided it would be helpful to discuss some time management strategies that have worked for each of us. We also take a look at what top performers are doing to master their time and remain productive.
