The FTC made headlines recently with their decision to ban noncompete agreements, and the reactions have been strong on both sides. In this episode, David and Brad will tackle the hot-button issue and the legal ramifications.

Noncompete agreements have long been a staple in employment contracts, designed to prevent employees from jumping ship to a competitor or starting a competing business. However, the FTC's bold move to outlaw these agreements has sparked a debate that goes beyond legal jargon to the very philosophy of business and employment.

With over 30 million employees affected, the implications are vast for both employers and workers. Join us for an in-depth discussion on the legal, business, and philosophical perspectives of noncompetes, including the potential constitutional challenges and what this means for the future of employment contracts.
