Markets are shifting, and the next big moves are often driven by factors most investors don't notice. But today's guest, Brett Johnson, is not your average investor. As a money manager and financial strategist overseeing significant capital, Brett spends his time tracking trends most people miss—watching currencies, capital flows, and global events to understand how they shape the market and your investments. He's also the creator of the widely-discussed “Dollar Milkshake Theory,” a unique perspective on how the U.S. dollar interacts with other currencies and influences global markets. In this episode, Brett takes a step back to connect the dots between global developments and your decisions as an investor, sharing what he's seeing now, the trends emerging, and how they could impact your money and investments. Then, in our Market Spotlight, we explore a niche with both purpose and profit: special needs housing. Big-picture thinking, real-world perspective, and actionable ideas all come together in this episode—so grab your headphones and listen in!

What if the real measure of success isn't production, but purpose? In this episode, Brett is joined by Garrett Maroon, a real estate professional who has been repurposed to see business as a calling rather than just a career. From his Lebanese heritage to a career shift that led to founding the Faithful Agent Community and the 2:10 Collective, Garrett shares how he moved from chasing numbers to pursuing Kingdom impact. Together, they explore how Christian professionals can rediscover God's design for work by breaking free from comparison, reclaiming the value of homeownership, and building networks that prize faithfulness over profitability. This conversation is an invitation to repurpose how you see success and to build a business that honors God, serves people, and advances His purposes in the marketplace. Garrett Maroon is a husband, father of five, and founder of The Faithful Agent nonprofit. As a 100% referral-based top producer, he is passionate about helping Christian real estate agents build businesses that honor their faith, strengthen their families, and create lasting impact.

What if one of the greatest battlegrounds shaping society isn't only cultural or political, but the historical battle for the polarization of family? In this episode, Brett is joined by Dr. Charlie Self to trace the historical and philosophical shifts that have shaped how we view family.

There's a difference between loving God and agreeing with his operating model. In this episode, Brett confronts a hard truth: many believers in the marketplace are stuck in old operating models, speaking kingdom language without living kingdom reality.  Using the story of Judas Iscariot as a sobering case study, Brett introduces the "Judas Syndrome”, a predictable decline rooted in compromised motives, unmet expectations, and resistance to transformation. Listeners will discover the three common paths in kingdom business today: •⁠ ⁠Path A – The Comfortable Conformist: well-meaning but unwilling to fully change. •⁠ ⁠Path B – The Offended Betrayer: disillusioned when Jesus doesn't meet their professional expectations. •⁠ ⁠Path C – The Transformed Disciple: those who embrace discomfort, continual growth, and radical alignment with God's ways. This episode challenges us to examine our current path and offers guidance for moving toward authentic kingdom transformation in your business.

Is the non-profit motive better than a for-profit motive? In this episode, Brett explores whether there is an 'NGO Industrial Complex' and whether Repurposing NGOs should be a thing.  Brett explores the need for nonprofit organizations, their potential pitfalls, and the importance of aligning them with their original purposes. He suggests the dangers of different societal sectors becoming overly central in their influence, leading to various 'isms' that distort their original intent.  Using a biblical example involving Mary and Judas, Brett underscores the importance of ensuring that organizations, including nonprofits, operate with genuine compassion rather than self-interest.

In this episode, Tom Varghese, MD, FACS, is joined by Brett Johnson, MD, and Clifford Ko, MD, FACS, from the American College of Surgeons (ACS). They discuss the recent article by Drs Johnson and Ko, “Evaluating Outcomes of Initial Site Visits Across American College of Surgeons Accreditation Programs,” in which the authors found that ACS accreditation identifies significant gaps in hospital quality, with only 61% of hospitals passing on their initial attempt. However, most ultimately succeed after remediation. These findings highlight that ACS accreditation both validates hospitals meeting rigorous standards and drives quality improvement in those that initially fall short. Disclosure Information: Drs Varghese, speaker, has no relevant financial conflicts to disclose. Drs Johnson and Ko, speakers, are employees of the American College of Surgeons.
