Hello friends. There was LOTS for Eric and I to talk about as fellow nerds, and entrepreneurs. He's got great insights and a unique perspective on race and politics. It's a long one so here's the chapters if there's a particular topic that interests you from our discussion:
Outline:
[0:00] Why do comics matter?
[8:15] The Flash, Batman, and the multiverse mess
[15:10] Whatโs the right role for politics in comics?
[22:11] Race-swapping vs. meaningful representation
[27:17] Is shallow wokeness on the way out?
[36:27] Learning how to hustle as a young creative
[40:44] The Rippaverse Code of Ethics
[47:17] Young entrepreneurs need to fully commit
[57:07] Media consumption and information overload
[1:01:41] Storytelling with a moral perspective
[1:09:04] Ericโs journey from leftist to libertarian
[1:20:49] Race hustlers discourage all children
[1:28:07] What is anarcho-capitalism?
[1:36:01] Echo chambers, division, and truth
[1:45:30] The only freedom that canโt be taken
[1:48:14] Ericโs childhood and family background
[1:55:30] Faith, optimism, and impact
The quality, production, & conversation of this podcast is so satisfying. Underrated for sure.
You should have asked him about empty anti-wokeness, that is what he really excels in.
A black batman or gay superman wonโt erase or replace a hetero-white superman. Itโs just a variant. Chill the f- out.
This shouldnโt be an excuse for lazy writing but this wannabe ultra progressivism that aligns with homophobic &/or racist ideologies isnโt earning any moral high ground.
ALL COMIC BOOK SALES are declining. ALL of it. Stop swinging at comic book fans just to appeal to wannabe purists.

Eric July should shave his shoulders…
Wokeness? Isn't this the guy who hired the same incest sisters who promoted satanic ideals and neo feminism in their films? Get back to me when they're removed.
Great interview, needs more views.
ERIC IS THE LAUGHING STOCK OF INDIE COMICS..HIS BOOKS SUCK..WAKE UP DAD. THIS DUDE IS A PHONEY
Have to jump in for another comment here regarding the "What is truth?" question – and this is coming from a former epistemology professor: The truth is what happened. That's it. Everything else is theory or prediction or fantasy or imagination. "What happened?" is the the only rational, possible question to ask in regards to truth. And yes, it's "perspectival" etc – but not really. We have to be willing to be the objective witness to our own experience and events.
At 1:15 – this is why I've noticed most Black people I meet from impoverished, difficult backgrounds are SO MUCH MORE FUNCTIONAL AND MENTALLY HEALTHY than the spoiled, rich white kids I knew who are completely useless, unproductive adults: their parents made a point of SHELTERING them from reality – and that included anything as "lowly" as a job when they were in school. But that left them with zero life experience or knowledge about people – and really gullible to "ideas" and "experts" – they didn't trust their own knowledge or life experience, because they had none. Thanks for the convo.
Great. A content provider from Blaze TV. Now youโre dipping your toe into that deep reservoir of stoopid oerhaps you can get Glenn Beck his own self for a chat.
Isom is straight garbage
Ericโs plan to save mainstream comics is genius. He made comics that are so bad they made marvel and dc look amazing in comparison
Great conversation! More of this is needed in the USA!
This is epic! Thanks for the upload
No one wants isom or horseman either.
From topic to topic I kept telling myself to get back to work but just could not turn it off. Thanks for a fascinating discussion of so many things!
That was very interesting! I'm not into comic books, but I believe I'll grab one of Eric July's works just to see if I can kindle the small flame that I have left for superheroes. Thanks Dad .

I find it very satisfying that all the entrepreneurs that are bucking trends and being successful have read/watched the likes of Freidman and Sowell. Not the worst echochamber to be in.
