PODCAST: Good Morning Liberty (September 12, 2023)

Nate Thurston is the co-founder of Good Morning Liberty.

He began his career in Nashville, TN as a lead guitarist of the alternative rock band Darling Parade, playing in 46 states and 12 countries during numerous tours, including multiple tours for Armed Forces Entertainment in Kuwait, Bahrain, UAE, Djibouti, Singapore, Greenland, and the Bahamas. His band hit #1 on Sirius XM, made two Billboard charts, played MTV’s Video Music Awards pre-show, and starred in a national TV ad campaign, all while never being on a record label or having a management company.

Since moving on from music, Nate flipped more than 215 houses in Nashville, developed a verified successful day-trading strategy, and joined in on the ground floor of a healthcare revenue cycle software company. That inside knowledge of the healthcare industry aided in his attempt to promote freer markets in healthcare with the GML podcast.

Charlie Thompson is the co-founder of Good Morning Liberty. He began his career in Nashville, TN as a bassist for the band 3 Pill Morning, playing in 48 states and 2 countries on their many headlining/support tours. His band toured with artists including Sevendust, Shinedown, Trapt, In This Moment, and Saving Abel, capping off those tours by performing on the “Ship-Rocked” cruise in the Carribean headlined by Hinder and Buckcherry.

After having a single in the Billboard Top 40 on rock radio, and playing for Armed Forces Entertainment, Charlie hung up his bass and learned how to code. He began working for Community Health Systems (CHS), and later worked for Healthcare Corporation of America (HCA). In 2016, Charlie started his own software and consulting company specializing in revenue cycle automation for the healthcare industry.
