Protecting IP… negotiating licenses on behalf of IP clients… buying up IP’s. Having built one of the world’s largest intellectual property licensing companies, the pair know a lot about business. They also have a keen sense for politics – and how politics can impact business. Where other political shows are exclusively about politics, Pridham and Sheafe connect the dots between government policies, headline politics and growing your business. The two get political…They talk social issues. They jump headfirst into today’s headlines. It’s like listening in on what two businessmen/entrepreneurs have to say about everything going on around them. And like any A-types, David and Brad pull no punches. But they do throw in a lot of humor. So, when you want to practice the best practices as they relate to growing your business…when you want to know how intellectual properties can benefit your company…and when you just want a good laugh – tune in to Pridham and Sheafe – you’re guaranteed to learn and laugh - they're two funny!","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/pridham-and-sheafe-6228045"},"episode":{"title":"Ep. 317 - Its Giving","slug":"ep-317-its-giving","published_at":"2026-01-21T20:27:50+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/pridham-and-sheafe-6228045/ep-317-its-giving","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/pridham-and-sheafe-6228045","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/ep-317-its-giving--69537742","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/69537742/ep_317_its_giving.mp3","summary":"Ep. 317 - It's Giving Federal Consequences Welcome to a crash course in Gen Z linguistics, from \"aura points\" to \"skibbidi”, before diving into the chaos unfolding across the globe. David and Brad dissect Iran's brutal crackdown on protesters while the Shah's heir lounges in Paris, debate whether Trump should just annex Greenland already, and unpack the dumpster fire that is Minnesota. Between Somali fraud rings, protesters blocking ICE with air horns, and a shooting that somehow can't be reported honestly by anyone, Brad proposes a simple solution: pull all federal funding and law enforcement from Minneapolis and let Governor Walz run his utopia experiment. The guys wrap up with a reminder that pushing heavily armed federal agents is about as smart as it sounds, and that sometimes the best response to a tantrum is to let people find out what they're actually asking for.","meta_description":"Ep. 317 - It's Giving Federal Consequences Welcome to a crash course in Gen Z linguistics, from \"aura points\" to \"skibbidi”, before diving into the chaos…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2351,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/pridham-and-sheafe-6228045/episodes/ep-317-its-giving/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/pridham-and-sheafe-6228045/ep-317-its-giving.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
