Skylar Bytendorp welcomes back Curt Derby as Utah Daily’s first repeat guest to discuss Curt’s book, “Everybody’s Happy, Everybody Wins: How to Build a Perfect Society,” and how their first interview helped inspire his YouTube/podcasting approach to promoting it. Curt argues the U.S. is close to a “perfect society” but remains divided because power alternates between Democrats and Republicans, leaving half the country unhappy; he proposes a principles-based “Happy Party” built on “four pillars of freedom” rather than policy battles. They explore how those principles apply to issues like abortion, immigration, taxes, and military use. Curt describes tools like an Easy Tracker app/website for transparent funding and suggests change could start locally, noting winning presidents average about 23% of Americans’ votes.
