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. 319 - A Nation of Slippery Slopes","slug":"ep-319-a-nation-of-slippery-slopes","published_at":"2026-02-02T22:50:07+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/pridham-and-sheafe-6228045/ep-319-a-nation-of-slippery-slopes","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/pridham-and-sheafe-6228045","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/ep-319-a-nation-of-slippery-slopes--69748994","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/69748994/ep_319_a_nation_of_slippery_slopes.mp3","summary":"Ep. 319 - A Nation of Slippery Slopes The Hall of Fame gatekeepers have spoken, and Bill Belichick isn't getting in. David and Brad dissect the petty jealousies and false moral superiority that kept the greatest coach in NFL history out of Canton. Then it's off to Minneapolis, where federal agents trying to enforce laws are being harassed by whistle-blowing martyrs with loaded guns (what could go wrong?). The guys tackle the impossible task of finding honest reporting on the ICE operations, debate the wisdom of pulling all federal support from cities that won't cooperate, and explain why showing up to confront armed officers with an air horn is a terrible life choice. Finally, the CDC reveals that between 2018 and 2023, Americans were far more likely to be killed by wasps and bees than by marine animals.","meta_description":"Ep. 319 - A Nation of Slippery Slopes The Hall of Fame gatekeepers have spoken, and Bill Belichick isn't getting in.
