Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Coylette James Here is a clear, polished summary and outline of the Dr. Coylette James interview with Rushion McDonald, based entirely on the transcript you provided. Summary of the Interview with Dr. Coylette James on Money Making Conversations Master Class Ffounder of a faith‑based nonprofit and creator of The Lioness Effect—discusses her mission to empower women to heal, lead, and monetize their purpose without compromising their values. She and host Rushion McDonald explore themes such as identity, healing from trauma, walking in authenticity, entrepreneurship, integrating faith into business, and redefining wealth. Dr. James emphasizes that women must first understand their identity and unique “superpower" before they can build meaningful businesses or confidently step into leadership. Drawing from her decades in corporate executive leadership and ministry, she explains how healing from past traumas, rejecting societal stereotypes, and valuing one’s own expertise are necessary steps toward long‑term success. She also breaks down practical strategies for clarifying value, avoiding under‑earning, building integrity‑driven wealth, and developing a legacy. Her life philosophy—“Don’t live your age, live your life”—shows up in her mindset, style, and discipline, as she approaches age 70 with energy, purpose, and intention. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: Introduce Dr. Coylette James' work and her framework, The Lioness Effect, which helps women transform purpose into profit. Share practical guidance on identity, leadership, faith‑based entrepreneurship, and building wealth with integrity. Encourage women to overcome limiting beliefs, value their expertise, and break free from societal or personal constraints. Inspire listeners with Dr. James’s personal philosophy on aging, growth, and living boldly. Key Takeaways 1. Identity Is the Foundation Women must first understand who they are to build authentic businesses. Uniqueness is a “superpower” and should not be traded for cultural expectations. 2. Healing Precedes Leadership Trauma—whether personal, societal, or generational—can limit confidence. “Hurt leaders will hurt people.” Women must heal to lead with clarity and compassion. 3. Authenticity Builds Trust and Value You are your greatest asset; your voice is your brand. Don’t shrink or dim your identity to fit an image or corporate mold. 4. Faith and Business Are Not Separate Dr. James teaches that faith should inform, not divide from, business practices. Integrity and values should guide branding, service, and pricing. 5. Stop Over‑Serving and Under‑Earning People often undervalue what they give because they haven’t valued it themselves. Women must attach a price to their expertise, time, and transformation they provide. 6. Quality Creates Wealth Wealth isn’t only money; it includes wisdom and legacy. Quality and excellence build strong brands and repeat customers. 7. Know Your Lane Talent alone doesn’t build wealth—business skills matter. Bring in help for areas outside your strengths (marketing, operations, finance). 8. Entrepreneurship Requires Wisdom & Prioritization Dr. James balanced a full‑time executive career with her nonprofit by: Allocating hours wisely Using time strategically Mentoring within her workplace Following passion while honoring responsibilities 9. Age Is Not a Limiter At nearly 70, she asserts: “Don’t live your age, live your life.” Reinvention is possible at any age. Notable Quotes Here are direct, impactful lines from the conversation: On Identity & Purpose “Your authenticity is your empowerment.” “We were created on purpose for a purpose.” “If you’re trying to be what culture says you are, you’ll miss who you are authentically.” On Superpower “You take the supernatural of God, put it on your natural, and you’re empowered by it.” On Healing & Leadership “Hurt leaders will hurt people.” “I can’t take you where I haven’t been.” On Value & Monetization “What would you buy from you?” “If you wouldn’t pay for what you're selling, why should someone else?” “People will pay for quality.” On Wealth & Legacy “Wealth is not always monetary. My biggest wealth is the legacy I’m leaving.” “Make sure you put the quality in before your name goes on it.” On Aging & Living Fully “Don’t live your age, live your life.” “I will never get old. I will get older.” “How important are you to you?” #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Swimming with Allocators, Earnest and Alexa welcome Mike Kakenmaster, Director of Investments at Loyola University Chicago, to discuss how a small endowment builds and scales a modern private capital and venture program. Mike shares his journey from hedge funds and a family office to Loyola, explaining how being a generalist across asset classes (hedge funds, buyout, credit, venture) helps him see risks, opportunities, and market cycles more clearly. The conversation covers the shift of LP attention between private markets and hedge funds, how Loyola doubled its private capital allocation, and why they moved deliberately into venture instead of rushing into brand-name funds. Mike also explains why early-stage track records can be misleading, how he evaluates managers (portfolio construction, reserves, access, networks, and founder/company quality), and why smaller and emerging managers can be especially compelling. Also, Chuck Daly of Sidley focuses on how first-time fund managers should thoughtfully build their operational and governance infrastructure, especially around disclosures and conflicts of interest, so they can run a real business, protect LPs, and clearly communicate how they'll handle inevitable issues. Highlights from this week's conversation include: From Hedge Funds And Family Office To Loyola Investment Office (0:30) What Keeps Mike Interested in Allocating and Fund Investments (3:14) Advantages of Being a Generalist Across Multiple Asset Classes (5:42) Shift of Capital Between Private Markets and Hedge Funds (10:30) Growing Loyola's Private Capital Allocation and Building from Scratch (13:22) Early Days Entering Venture During a Hot Fundraising Environment (16:51) Operational Infrastructure, Disclosures, and Conflicts Framework for GPs (19:20) Governance Framework and Handling Unforeseen Conflicts of Interest (22:40) Avoiding Overreliance on Early Venture Track Records and Marks (27:53) Evaluating Reserves, Follow-On Decisions, and Portfolio Construction (32:14) Loyola's Venture Strategy, Emerging Managers, and Fund Size Sweet Spot (34:34) Advantages of Partnering with Smaller Endowments for GPs (39:16) Advice to Smaller Endowments Starting a Venture Program (43:20) Final Thoughts and Takeaways (46:21) Founded in 1870, Loyola University Chicago is one of the nation's largest Jesuit, Catholic universities, with nearly 17,000 students.

In this episode, I walk you through one of the most examinable areas in the exam: revenue under IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. We start right from the basics, so you're not left guessing, and build up to the core principles that underpin the standard.I talk through the five-step model, explain why revenue is such a high-risk area (especially from an audit perspective), and why simply memorising the steps won't earn you marks in the exam.More importantly, I show you how to apply that knowledge to a real exam-style question. You'll see exactly how to identify performance obligations, allocate the transaction price, and deal with timing issues (whether revenue is recognised at a point in time or over time).Thanks for listening to this episode of ACCA Tom Clendon's SBR Podcast.If you'd like to view the exam question on screen and see my working, subscribe to the YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@tomclendonSBR.For access to on-demand support and guidance for your ACCA Journey, visit my website to see my current course offering: https://tomclendon.co.uk/.Chapters:(00:00) Why revenue matters for exam success(00:18) Episode overview and learning approach(00:51) Introduction to Zaakirah(01:12) What is revenue and why it's high risk(01:47) Timing issues and manipulation risks(02:01) Introduction to IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers(02:33) The five-step model explained(03:01) Step 1: Identifying the contract(03:18) Step 2: Identifying performance obligations(04:02) Step 3: Determining the transaction price(04:29) Step 4: Allocating the transaction price(05:06) Step 5: Recognising revenue (point in time vs over time)(05:53) Why memorising won't earn marks(06:26) Moving to exam application(06:40) Understanding the exam requirement (5-mark question)(08:08) Identifying performance obligations in the scenario(10:12) Allocating revenue using stand-alone selling prices(11:20) Timing of revenue recognition(12:19) Calculating correct revenue figure(12:47) Correcting overstated revenue (exam technique)(13:27) Current vs non-current liability (deferred revenue)(13:39) Final exam tips and wrap-up

Today, Ben sits down with Kenny Senour of Legacy Wealth Partners for a candid and deeply practical conversation on the role money plays within married life—and how couples can transform it from a source of conflict into a foundation for unity. Drawing from his personal upbringing and professional experience, Kenny explores why financial tension so often emerges in marriage, especially when couples bring different habits, expectations, and values into the relationship. Together, they unpack the Catholic framework of stewardship, detachment, and personal responsibility, emphasizing that money is not an end in itself but a tool meant to serve the vocation of marriage and family life. The discussion highlights the dangers of secrecy, avoidance, and “financial infidelity,” while offering a hopeful path forward through shared planning, honest communication, and values-based decision-making. From practical tools like budgeting systems and “personal spending” categories to deeper conversations around identity, status, and trust, Ben and Kenny show how couples can align their finances with their faith and their shared mission. Ultimately, they invite listeners to see money not as a scoreboard or source of control, but as an opportunity to grow in unity, freedom, and mutual self-gift within the sacrament of marriage.Key Takeaways:• Money is one of the leading sources of conflict in marriage. Couples often enter marriage with different financial habits and expectations.• “Financial infidelity” (hidden debt, secret spending) can erode trust. Avoiding money conversations can lead to deeper relational problems.• Values-based exercises can uncover motivations behind financial behaviors.• Allocating “guilt-free” personal spending money can reduce tension.• Marriage requires shared ownership of financial decisions and outcomes.• Healthy financial habits can strengthen—not just support—a marriage.Key Timestamps:(03:05) – Why Money Breaks Marriages(04:38) – Church Teaching on Money(13:02) – Money Serving the Marriage(17:48) – Financial Infidelity and Secrecy(23:30) – How Advisors Help Couples(25:01) – Values Exercise and Communication(33:44) – Shared vs Personal Spending(38:07) – Wrap Up and Where to Find KennyKey Topics Discussed:Catholic Money Mastermind, Catholic financial planning, Catholic financial planners, Catholic financial advisors, Ben Martinek, faith and financesMentions:Website: https://lwp-llc.com/ More of Catholic Money Mastermind:Catholic Money Mastermind Podcast is a personal podcast meant for educational and entertainment.

Some traditional leaders in KwaZulu-Natal have raised concern about how Cogta MEC Thulasizwe Buthelezi is allocating tools of trade. The dispute follows decisions to buy SUVs for several amaKhosi while others say they still lack vehicles, tents and mobile fridges to do their work. AmaKhosi met with Contralesa on Monday to table grievances over what they call uneven distribution of resources. We spoke to Phakamani Dlamini, Contralesa KZN Provincial Organizer and Ndunankulu of eSiphahleni Traditional Authority.

This solo episode is a full breakdown of Chris Lopez’s 2026 real estate investment deals. He covers every position closed in Q1 and the active pipeline he’s evaluating right now. That includes a hotel conversion buying at roughly $30,000 a door and a Denver office deal at a 12 cap with 6.5% debt in place. The shift from common equity to debt isn’t accidental. Chris walks through three Q1 investments: a Canadian debt fund, a preferred equity position in Western Ohio multifamily, and a fund acquiring non-performing loans. All three reflect a strategy focused on income and downside protection. The episode also tackles a harder question. Should you stay focused on known asset classes or follow the numbers into new territory? The 2026 real estate investment deals on his radar include a bank-owned distressed multifamily portfolio in Denver and Colorado Springs, a niche Denver industrial deal with owner carry, and a 300-unit hotel-to-multifamily conversion. He’s also tracking an indoor kids entertainment private equity fund paying mid-to-high teens cash on cash. The final segment covers debt fund due diligence. Chris explains why he now does on-site audits before writing a check. That means reviewing loan files, checking appraisals, verifying LTV compliance, and tracing bank account activity to reduce fraud risk.

In this episode, we're joined by metals market experts from Aberdeen Investments, Bob Minter, Director of Investment Strategy, and Dan Magnusson, Senior Director of Mutual Fund Operations, to break down the dramatic movements in the precious and industrial metals markets over the past year.They take you through the cyclical history of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and copper, exploring what's behind their recent surges, shifting correlations, and the complex global forces at play. Bob and Dan demystify how rising geopolitical tensions, evolving central bank policies, and the global race for electrification are rewriting old market rules and opening new opportunities.You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...05:38 Palladium's role in auto standards11:36 What has changed in correlations?15:19 Gold bull market's key drivers18:02 Silver supply struggles persist21:06 China's electrification and infrastructure boom24:38 Geopolitical shifts and market impact29:36 Rethinking traditional portfolio strategies36:18 Commodity cycles and inflation trends40:24 Diversifying commodity investmentsFrom Stagnation to Sudden GrowthThe years 2011 to 2020 are sometimes dubbed the “lost decade” for precious metals, especially gold and platinum, as prices remained flat while the stock market soared. Historical price movements in gold were typically tied inversely to real interest rates. When interest rates rose (after adjusting for inflation), gold, which generates no income, tended to fall due to opportunity costs. However, this relationship broke down sharply in 2022 as gold rallied even as many ETF investors were selling, missing the underlying market shift.The drivers for “industrial” versus “precious” metals diverged as well. Silver, for instance, gets around 60% of its demand from industrial uses, most notably in solar panels, unlike gold, which serves mostly as a store of value and a central bank reserve. Platinum and palladium are heavily linked to catalytic converters in internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, and swings in global EV adoption ripple through their prices.Electrification, Supply Deficits, and Geopolitical ShiftsThe infrastructure boom of the 21st century, following on the heels of the 20th, will require massive inputs of copper, aluminum, platinum, palladium, and silver. American electricity demand, flat for two decades, began rising again and is expected to accelerate, driven by data centers and AI.Meanwhile, supply deficits are becoming more acute. Silver, for example, has been in deficit since 2019, as high-quality ore bodies are exhausted and miners struggle to open new sites, sometimes limited by environmental concerns or indigenous land rights. Companies like Samsung are directly securing metal supply by funding reopening of mines, demonstrating the seriousness of these shortages.The Evolving Role of CommoditiesGiven these shifting dynamics, what place do metals and commodities play in a modern portfolio? Bob and Dan agree that the traditional 60/40 stocks-to-bonds portfolio construction is outdated, especially as historical correlations weaken and new macro forces take hold.The sweet spot for commodity exposure, particularly using benchmarks like the Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM), is around 6.5–7.5%. Allocating less does little to move the needle, while more may not add incremental benefit. It's also vital to focus on broad commodity exposure to ensure diversification and account for changing correlations over time.Commodities should be a strategic, long-term allocation—one spanning decades, not years—reflecting the enduring demand from electrification, AI-driven data centers, and shifting geopolitical alliances.The market's fundamental drivers have changed, making metals and commodities more than just a tactical play, they're now essential portfolio mainstays. Investors who understand these new dynamics, diversify intelligently, and look forward rather than just backward, will be best positioned to navigate the evolving world of global finance.Bob Minter and Dan Magnusson are not affiliated with or endorsed by LPL Financial or Capital Investment Advisers.Securities and Advisory services offered through LPL Financial.

In this episode I'm talking about a piece of advice that has come up over and over again in conversations about money in recent months, which is this: manage your money and your life like its a business and you're in charge. Developing emotional intelligence around your money is a critical part of being good with money – but we're not taught how to do it. Starting with this business-style approach to managing your money helps you see it like a tool, rather than an extension of your identity or a representation of your worth. Highlights: Treating your life like a business to give you the clarity you need for success Allocating funds to your different life "departments" Being proactive and reactive accordingly Investing in growth and efficiency Adopting a "margin mindset" Identifying when your lifestyle isn't viable (and what to do instead) Viewing things from a big picture perspective by taking an annual approach to expenses ORDER THE WARDROBE PROJECT!

She and host Rushion McDonald explore themes such as identity, healing from trauma, walking in authenticity, entrepreneurship, integrating faith into business, and redefining wealth. Dr. James emphasizes that women must first understand their identity and unique “superpower" before they can build meaningful businesses or confidently step into leadership. Drawing from her decades in corporate executive leadership and ministry, she explains how healing from past traumas, rejecting societal stereotypes, and valuing one’s own expertise are necessary steps toward long‑term success. She also breaks down practical strategies for clarifying value, avoiding under‑earning, building integrity‑driven wealth, and developing a legacy.

Jeremy Au and Mike Mate connect personal career risk with the structural limits of the Philippine startup ecosystem. Mike explains how jumping from law into finance shaped his tolerance for uncertainty, why venture capital requires emotional endurance, and how AI mirrors past industrial shifts. They examine why Southeast Asia imports frontier technology, why Philippine consumer startups struggle to scale, and why grit remains the region's unfair advantage. The discussion ties personal courage to ecosystem maturity, arguing that founders and investors both survive through disciplined risk. 05:10 Investment banking exposed the limits of deal work: Closing transactions felt empty because he never saw what happened to companies after. 10:00 Venture capital demands emotional endurance: Allocating high risk capital requires custody of LP money and deep founder trust. 12:20 AI mirrors the steam engine moment: Technology removes intellectual limits the way railroads removed physical limits. 14:50 AI growth is exponential not gradual: Decades of change now compress into a few years. 18:30 Consumer startups define the Philippine opportunity: Strong demographics exist but iconic exits remain missing. 21:20 The valley of death blocks late stage growth: Series C companies stall without foreign capital. 25:00 Filipino founders survive through grit: Cultural obligation to family and employees fuels persistence under pressure.

Send us a textIn this episode of the Sports Marketing Machine podcast, Jeremy Neisser discusses the often-overlooked aspect of lead generation in sports marketing. He emphasizes the importance of allocating a portion of the marketing budget to grow the fan database, rather than solely focusing on immediate ticket sales. Neisser outlines effective strategies for lead generation, including involving sponsors, creating compelling offers, and implementing follow-up plans. He also provides insights on budgeting for lead generation and the long-term benefits of building a larger audience.TakeawaysMost teams allocate 80-90% of their budget to single game ticket sales.Lead generation should be a key focus for sports teams.Growing your database is essential for long-term success.Lead generation is about capturing fan information, not immediate sales.Involving sponsors can enhance lead generation campaigns.High perceived value offers attract more participants.Follow-up is crucial after lead generation campaigns.Budgeting for lead generation should be a priority.Teams should think strategically about audience building.Lead generation is an investment in future ticket sales.This episode makes the case that lead generation isn't optional—it's a core revenue strategy. Teams that dedicate real budget to list growth lower future ad costs, stop burning out their database, and give sales teams warmer leads to work.

HT2506 - Allocating Our Precious Time The most valuable commodity we have in our art life is not our gear, not our training, not our creative impulses, not our energy and drive. All those things might be important, but they are useless unless we have time. Without time all the potential we've banked by learning our craft and going out photographing will add up to naught. I know it can seem counterintuitive to schedule our creative activities, but in fact having a schedule to work on our art maybe the most important step we can take to make sure our creative endeavors aren't swallowed up by the trivialities of life.

In this conversation, former Cincinnati mayor Charlie Luken discusses the implications of the $1.6 billion railway sale and the subsequent allocation of funds for infrastructure projects. He expresses disappointment over the slow spending of the allocated funds, emphasizing the need for transparency and efficiency in project implementation. The discussion also touches on the challenges faced by the city government in managing these funds and the potential role of external organizations in facilitating better outcomes for the community. Takeaways The railway sale generated significant funds for the city. Only a small percentage of the allocated funds have been spent. There is a bottleneck in the city government regarding fund allocation. Allocating funds does not equate to actual spending on projects. Infrastructure projects need to be scrutinized for effectiveness. The city is behind on necessary road repairs and infrastructure improvements. External organizations could help streamline project implementation. There is a need for accountability in how taxpayer money is spent. The public's trust is at stake with the handling of these funds. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brad Barrett shares updates on his health journey and effective workout principles, while Dr. Bobby discusses the costs and benefits of organic foods. The conversation encourages listeners to reconsider their food choices and encourages an increase in fruit and vegetable intake over focusing solely on organic options.

Timestamps & Key Topics: 00:00:00 - Introduction Introduction to the episode theme focusing on health and nutrition. 00:01:13 - Brad's Health Journey Update Overview of Brad's personal health journey and commitment to fitness. Focus on long-term well-being into older age. 00:02:30 - Workout Principles Importance of effective workout routines.

Recommendations for increasing overall fruit and vegetable intake. 01:09:20 - Conclusion Summary of key insights and encouragement to prioritize both health and financial independence. Key Takeaways: Effective Workouts: Focus on controlled movement and adequate rest during workouts for maximum muscle gain. Recommended six exercises per workout with two sets each, targeting different muscle groups. Nutrition Strategies: Increasing fruit and vegetable intake can significantly impact health outcomes more than just choosing organic options. Approximately 80% of Americans do not consume enough fruits and veggies. Cost vs. Benefit of Organic Foods: The financial implications of buying organic foods may outweigh the health benefits for many families. Allocating grocery budgets towards higher quality fruits and vegetables rather than solely organic options can provide better health returns. Actionable Takeaways: Workout Focus: Incorporate machine-based exercises focusing on compound movements to build muscle effectively. Prioritize recovery with a resting period of 3-5 minutes between sets. Meal Planning: Start planning meals in advance to reduce the chances of last-minute takeout or unhealthy choices. Budgeting for Health: Consider reallocating funds typically spent on organic foods towards a gym membership or investing in wellness products to enhance overall health. Discussion Questions: What are your thoughts on the price differences between organic and conventional food? How can you apply principles of effective exercise to your routine?

Using his innate talent for trading and risk management, Chris earned enough money to pay for his final year of college, where he earned a business diploma in operations management. He then transitioned into a full-time entrepreneur and trader, achieving financial freedom in his 20s.His expertise in technical analysis led him to create systematic processes that uncover unique trading and investment opportunities.

His short-term and long-term strategies are perfect for those seeking proven techniques to manage and protect capital.Chris is widely recognized as an exceptional technical trader, possessing profound insight and a keen understanding of market trends.

In this episode of El Niño Speaks, José Niño sat down with Louis of Eviction Notice for a hard-hitting discussion on the limits of American power and the myths that sustain it.Louis breaks down the U.S. empire's growing military-industrial problems, its overstretched global commitments, and the dawning realization that there are no more “easy interventions.” Louis explains why even places like Venezuela now fall outside Washington's grasp, and why talk of a “Greater Israel” remains little more than a fantasy.Louis also dives deep into the Gaza conflict and the fragile ceasefire deal — one Louis has sharply criticized — to ask whether renewed war in the region is inevitable and what it means for America's geopolitical position.As the machinery of empire sputters and the myth of limitless power collapses, is the United States finally being forced to reckon with reality?Listen now and decide for yourself.Follow Louis on Twitter: https://x.com/LouisWordGeniusRumble: https://rumble.com/user/EvictionNotice/videos?e9s=src_v1_cblAre you concerned about your wealth during this times of economic uncertainty?

In this episode of El Niño Speaks, José Niño sits down with French historian and author Laurent Guyénot to discuss his groundbreaking book From Yahweh to Zion — a sweeping and controversial examination of how the Old Testament forged the foundations of Jewish identity, Zionism, and modern geopolitics.We explore Guyénot's argument that an ancient priestly elite transformed the Hebrew conception of God into an instrument of power, creating a “tribal deity” whose legacy continues to shape modern Israel and its policies today. The conversation also delves into Guyénot's theories about Israel's role in the Kennedy assassinations and 9/11, and how biblical narratives of chosenness and vengeance persist in modern statecraft.Whether you agree or disagree with his conclusions, this is a rare deep dive into the intersection of theology, history, and geopolitics that few dare to touch.Order the book: From Yahweh to Zion by Laurent GuyénotFollow Laurent Guyénot:Twitter: @Laurent_GuyenotSubstack: radbod.substack.comListen now and decide for yourself where faith, history, and power truly converge.Are you concerned about your wealth during this times of economic uncertainty?

In this episode of El Niño Speaks, José Niño sat down with Sam Dickson—attorney, lifelong White advocate, and longtime American Renaissance speaker—for a provocative discussion on the collapse of the American Republic and the hard work of building what comes next.We break down why America's experiment in individualism failed, how the ruling class severed the nation from its European roots, and why today's population looks more like a biomass than a real people. Dickson draws lessons from Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union, weighs the genetic and cultural costs of the Civil War and mass immigration, and explains why both capitalism and communism dissolve community. Most importantly, we explore what a post-American nation would require: cohesion, continuity, and leadership by a worthy elite.Follow Sam Dickson's work: https://www.amren.com/author/sam-dickson/Are you concerned about your wealth during this times of economic uncertainty?

José Niño sat down with Jordan B for a blunt autopsy of the American Right and why the Republican establishment keeps turning outrage into obedience, and how the base is nudged from righteous anger back into “vote GOP or else” every single cycle.They start with the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk assassination and the flood of instant fundraising—texts, emails, and moral blackmail—to channel shock into straight-ticket voting. From there, we dissect how MAGA's energy was domesticated, producing headlines instead of deliverables, and why “owning the libs” became a sedative that keeps the Right compliant.Follow Jordan B's work:Twitter: https://x.com/JordanBVide0sYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JordanBVideos/videosAre you concerned about your wealth during this times of economic uncertainty?
