In this illuminating first half of our deep-dive episode, Tom Bilyeu sits down with the brilliant and provocative historian and YouTube creator, WhatifAltHist. Known for his cutting insights into cyclical history and alternative perspectives on societal collapse, WhatifAltHist brings a wealth of knowledge on philosophy, politics, and anthropology to the discussion. The conversation kicks off with a dissection of Nietzsche's “Age of the Last Man,” exploring how Western civilization is at a crossroads characterized by complacency, lack of cultural transmission, and a dangerous loss of ambition. Part one focuses on the unraveling of shared cultural myths, the impact of rapid societal change, and why every historic society similar to ours has met with revolution. The duo investigate the destructive influence of Marxism and modern ideologies on social cohesion, what happens when traditional cultural frameworks erode, and the economic crises intersecting with culture. If you're curious about how historical patterns, economic choices, and ideological battles shape our present moment, this segment will ground you in the underlying forces of our age.

Leadership was never meant to be a solo pursuit. We talk often about courage, clarity, and competence, but rarely about the friendships that make those possible.In this episode, Doug unveils the idea of relational currency: the value exchanged between people who know and trust each other. Drawing from Tom Rath's work on Vital Friends and identity-based leadership framework, he explores why friendship is more than emotional support; it's the infrastructure of resilience and influence. This is a reminder that the most sustainable leaders invest not just in performance, but in people who help them remember who they are when the title is not enough.Update: This is our final episode of 2025. We're taking some time to step back, listen, and rethink how to serve you even better next year. See you in 2026, renewed and ready. To Order Doug's Books: The Resiliency Quest,Mad About Us Visit Doug's Website: https://www.dougmckinley.com/ Receive a Free Leadership Resource: Leadership Guide

Simon Dixon joins the show to expose the financial power structures controlling governments, wars, and the illusion of democracy. He unpacks how the “Proof of Weapons Network” operates behind the scenes through central banks, debt, and corporate influence — tracing the origins of global control from gold movements to modern technocracy. They discuss BlackRock's growing dominance, the weaponization of fiat, and how Bitcoin serves as a peaceful counterforce against this system. Simon Dixon is a Bitcoin pioneer, investor, and author of Bank to the Future, known for his work uncovering the intersection of money, war, and state power. // GUEST // Website: https://simondixon.com/ X: https://x.com/SimonDixonTwitt YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UC_wNYJCyycXXPmWni2JNZhQ // SPONSORS // Cowbolt: https://cowbolt.com/ Heart and Soil Supplements (use discount code BREEDLOVE): https://heartandsoil.co/ Blockware Solutions: https://mining.blockwaresolutions.com Onramp: https://onrampbitcoin.com/?grsf=breedlove Mindlab Pro: https://www.mindlabpro.com/breedlove Coinbits: https://coinbits.app/breedlove The Farm at Okefenokee: https://okefarm.com/ Orange Pill App: https://www.orangepillapp.com/ // PRODUCTS I ENDORSE // Protect your mobile phone from SIM swap attacks: https://www.efani.com/breedlove Lineage Provisions (use discount code BREEDLOVE): https://lineageprovisions.com/?ref=breedlove Colorado Craft Beef (use discount code BREEDLOVE): https://coloradocraftbeef.com/ Salt of the Earth Electrolytes: http://drinksote.com/breedlove Jawzrsize (code RobertBreedlove for 20% off): https://jawzrsize.com // UNLOCK THE WISDOM OF THE WORLD'S BEST NON-FICTION BOOKS // https://course.breedlove.io/ // SUBSCRIBE TO THE CLIPS CHANNEL // /@robertbreedloveclips2996 // TIMESTAMPS // 0:00 - WiM Episode Trailer 1:23 - The Illusion of Democracy and Control 2:50 - The Shift to a Multipolar World 6:13 - Understanding the Proof of Weapons Network 9:03 - The Debt-Based Ponzi Scheme 12:05 - Central Banks and War 14:52 - Weaponization of Money and Civil Unrest 17:57 - Bitcoin as a Counterforce 21:04 - Future of Currency and Technocracy 24:01 - Power Dynamics and the Federal Reserve 26:57 - Gold and Geopolitical Power 39:24 - Deep State and Corporate Control 42:46 - The Illusion of Democracy 48:36 - Boycotting the Financial System 51:45 - The Role of Money in Society 57:52 - Evolution of Economic Theories 1:01:42 - Rise of Multipolarity 1:07:50 - Future of Global Power Dynamics 1:20:50 - Rise of BRICS and Regional Power 1:21:20 - Decolonization and Africa's Future 1:22:21 - China's Global Strategy 1:23:44 - Shift from Western Hegemony 1:25:41 - Technology and Future Society 1:29:13 - Avoiding Global Conflict 1:31:24 - Economics of War and Reconstruction 1:34:42 - Centralization vs Decentralization in Bitcoin 1:43:09 - Spiritual Warfare and Personal Responsibility 1:51:16 - Conclusion and Call to Action // PODCAST // Podcast Website: https://whatismoneypodcast.com/ Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast… Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/25LPvm8… RSS Feed: https://feeds.simplecast.com/MLdpYXYI // SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL // Bitcoin: 3D1gfxKZKMtfWaD1bkwiR6JsDzu6e9bZQ7 Sats via Strike: https://strike.me/breedlove22 Dollars via Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/RBreedlove Dollars via Venmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/Robert-Br… // SOCIAL // Breedlove X: https://x.com/Breedlove22 WiM?

The Kenyan Treasury last month announced a breakthrough in its years-long effort to restructure billions of dollars still owed to the China Exim Bank that were used to build the Standard Gauge Railway. The two sides agreed to convert the remaining $3.5 billion of debt from higher-interest-rate U.S. dollar-denominated loans to more affordable yuan-denominated loans, which would potentially generate $215 million in savings for the Treasury. Both Ethiopia and Indonesia are also in talks with Chinese creditors doing the same kind of currency swap to restructure billions of dollars of railway loans. Yufan Huang, a pre-doctoral fellow with the China-Africa Research Initiative at Johns Hopkins University and one of the world's leading experts on Chinese debt restructuring, joins Eric to discuss Kenya's new swap and why the promised savings could be illusory.

Series: RootedWeek: 8 – Kingdom CurrencyScripture: Matthew 6:19–21, 24; 1 Timothy 6:10; Luke 12:15; Deuteronomy 8:17–20; 2 Corinthians 9:6–8, 11; Proverbs 23:4–7Big Idea:You can't serve two masters. Money is not evil—but when it becomes your master, it will control your heart. God invites us to a better way: to live open-handed, using what He's given to build His Kingdom.I. The Problem — The Pull of Earthly TreasureMoney is emotional, personal, and powerful—it reveals who has your heart.Jesus warns against storing treasure on earth because it decays, distracts, and disappears.“Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:21)Money is not meant to be served—it's meant to be surrendered.You can't hold onto both God and greed.II. The Warning — The Destructive Love of Money“The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.” (1 Timothy 6:10)Money itself isn't evil; the love of it is.Money makes false promises—security, satisfaction, significance.Greed is sneaky; it's the sin no one thinks they have.When money takes the throne, peace leaves the room.III. The Reminder — Everything Comes from GodDeuteronomy 8:17–20 — Don't forget who gave you the ability to produce wealth.We're not owners; we're stewards.Every gift, talent, and resource you have is from God.Gratitude shifts your heart from self-sufficiency to worship.IV. The Remedy — Generosity as Worship2 Corinthians 9:6–8 — Generosity isn't loss; it's sowing.Giving isn't about guilt—it's about gratitude.“Generosity is not about money leaving your hand; it's about idols leaving your heart.”When you live open-handed, God keeps refilling your hands—not to hoard, but to keep giving.You're blessed to be a blessing.V. The Question — Who Is Your Master?“You cannot serve both God and money.” (Matthew 6:24)Your spending reveals your worship.Every act of giving declares, “Money is not my master—God is.”The antidote to greed is not more—it's generosity.Challenge:If you've never given, start.If you already give, stretch your faith.Let your giving declare your allegiance to God and invest in eternity.

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I sit down with General John Michel for an inspiring conversation about his remarkable journey from serving as a commanding general for NATO to becoming a purpose-driven entrepreneur and community leader. General John's story is one of service, leadership, and transformation. From humble beginnings in ROTC at Texas State to flying jets and leading 14 nations in building the $8 billion Afghan Air Force, he reflects on the discipline, passion, and responsibility that shaped his military career. After retiring from the military, General John felt called to a new mission, addressing food insecurity with dignity and innovation. He shares the genesis of Soulcial Kitchen and Currency of Caring, a venture that mobilizes food trucks and empowers entrepreneurs to deliver hot meals and hope to neighbors in need.   About General John Michel, Air Force Brigadier General (ret.) John Michel is passionate about people and possibilities. A soulcial entrepreneur at heart, he's also an award- winning author, TED speaker, and business leader who has successfully led several multi-billion-dollar domestic and international transformation efforts.

Stablecoins may be the most important innovation in digital finance you've never heard of — and they're about to reshape how money moves around the world. Dante Disparte, Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Global Policy at Circle, joins us to discuss how stablecoins differ from volatile cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, why Circle calls them “WhatsApp for dollars,” and how they could change the way small businesses and families send and receive money across borders. Disparte also explains what the first-ever federal laws regulating stablecoins means for innovation, consumer protection, and the role of the U.S. dollar in a fast-changing financial system.

*Correction: Uji City produced only 37.6 tons of tencha in 2024, not 70 tons. I confused this number with the area of actively farmed tea cultivation in Uji City which is 73.6 hectares (source: https://www.pref.kyoto.jp/nosan/documents/r6chachosa2.pdf)In this episode of the Specialty Matcha Podcast, Ryan and Zongjun (Sam) delve into the intricate relationship between trust and the matcha industry. They explore how trust serves as the primary undercurrent of the industry, the complexities surrounding Uji matcha, and the challenges of mislabeling and transparency in the supply chain. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the context behind matcha sourcing and production, as well as the evolving expectations of consumers in a rapidly changing market.

Send us a textOctober 21st, no fanfare, just me and my thoughts. I have been on X all day, and only later realized gold had fallen sharply. Some people thought I had timed my comments to take gold down, as if I could move the market. It made me laugh.I start by questioning gold's 50 percent gain this year. If that rise is really fundamental, then there must be better trades no one is touching. That brings me to call options, far out on the horizon, like March 2027. I walk through the logic of the SOFR futures call trade. SOFR is the benchmark for dollar short-term interest rates, and its futures price reflects the market's forecast of where rates will be. A call option is a leveraged bet that rates will fall. I break down the math: four basis points equals 100 dollars per contract, 10,000 dollars for a hundred-lot, and a potential half-million profit if rates drop two percent. The beauty and the danger of leverage, all in one example.From there, I dive into the subject that always burns brightest for me: base money. It is the raw chemical of capitalism, the motherlode. Currency in circulation and reserves are its two halves. I describe it as the high-powered juice of the system, created and destroyed by the central bank, not the market.Then I circle back to gold, the old ghost of money. The US once held 700 million ounces, now only 262 million, yet even today gold represents about 19 percent of high-powered money. I end with a simple portfolio sketch across cash, futures, equities, and alternatives, urging curiosity over tribal belief, and thought over noise.Support the show⬇️ Subscribe on Patreon or Substack for full episodes ⬇️https://www.patreon.com/HughHendryhttps://hughhendry.substack.comhttps://www.instagram.com/hughhendryofficialhttps://blancbleustbarts.comhttps://www.instagram.com/blancbleuofficial⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Leave a five star review and comment on Apple Podcasts!

In this 4th installment of the “Care Is Currency” series, Rick Mayo and Matt Helland discuss why consistency is one of the most overlooked aspects of customer loyalty. Through stories and real-world Alloy examples, they show how even small deviations in client experience, no matter how well-meaning, can break trust and hurt retention.Even when the core service stays the same, inconsistencies in the client experience create emotional dissonance for customers. Running the play exactly as designed is key to building trust at scale. Consistency becomes the real “wow factor.”

In this episode of Million Dollar Flip Flops, Rodric sits down with Stephen “Steve” Seidel — founder of The Seidel Agency, creator of Gents Journey, and the mind behind the Journey Deck, a tool designed to help men reconnect, reflect, and lead with authenticity.Steve's mission is simple yet profound: to make connection our true currency — in business, in family, and in life. Through his work, he helps leaders open up emotionally, build stronger relationships, and find fulfillment beyond the metrics.Together, Rodric and Steve dive deep into:The story behind The Journey Deck and how grief, isolation, and caregiving turned into a global men's movement.Why most “business problems” are actually personal problems showing up at work.How the best leaders blend strategy with vulnerability — and why “love never ends.”Simple practices (like morning pages and reflection prompts) that help busy entrepreneurs reconnect with purpose.The bridge between men's work and leadership coaching — and how connection creates both profit and peace.This is a powerful and deeply human conversation about leadership, healing, and the courage to connect.

This episode of the Rich Mind Podcast is designed to be a healthy trigger, challenging you to break free from black-and-white thinking and become a true independent thinker. Randy and his daughter Adrienne introduce Robert Kiyosaki's powerful concept of the "three-sided coin"—heads, tails, and the edge. They argue that real truth and clarity are found not by picking a side, but by standing on the edge and observing both perspectives objectively. The conversation delves into the dangers of "outsourcing" your thinking to media, experts, and even family, using a real-world example of a financial advisor's controversial take on gold. This episode is a call to action to question everything, audit your own beliefs, and take back control of your own mind.   Key Takeaways:   The "three-sided coin" is a mental model for critical thinking: instead of choosing between two opposing views (heads or tails), seek the truth by observing from the edge. To become an independent thinker, you must stop outsourcing your beliefs to external authorities like media, experts, or social pressure. Being triggered by a different opinion is a sign that you have a deep-seated belief worth investigating; it's an opportunity for growth. Life is not "right vs. wrong." By embracing the "gray area," you can make clearer decisions without the emotional weight of needing to be right. A practical example of conflicting paradigms is financial advice, where mainstream sources may differ drastically from independent thinkers on topics like gold. Gold can be viewed not as a traditional "investment," but as a store of value to protect your future purchasing power against currency devaluation. Audit your daily life to identify where you are mindlessly following routines or beliefs you've inherited, and begin to consciously choose your own path.   Questions Answered in This Episode:   What is the "three-sided coin" concept and how can it make me a better thinker? How do I stop being so easily influenced by other people's opinions? Why do I get so triggered when I hear something that I disagree with? What does it mean to "outsource your thinking," and how can I stop doing it? Is gold a good investment, or is there another way to think about it? How does currency devaluation affect my purchasing power? How can I use social media for education instead of mindless entertainment? What is the first step I can take today to become a more independent thinker?   Key People, Concepts, & Terms:   People: Randy Wilson, Adrienne Wilson, Robert Kiyosaki, David McAlvany, Andy Schectman, Luke Gromen.

In this AMA episode of the Rational Reminder Podcast, Ben Felix and Dan Bortolotti return to answer listener questions across a wide range of topics—from covered call ETFs and dividend tax credits to currency hedging, bond mechanics, leverage, and career reflections. They open with a striking quote from Harvard economist John Campbell on how markets cater to perceived benefits rather than real ones—a perfect setup for their recent discussions on the rise of covered call ETFs.   Key Points From This Episode: (0:59) John Campbell's quote on capitalism's tendency to meet perceived rather than rational needs—and how that perfectly describes the financial industry. (3:44) Covered calls as the perfect example: products that respond to investor demand for yield, not what's actually in their best interest. (4:49) Dan compares income-chasing in covered call ETFs to Apple's marketing genius—except in finance, the benefits flow mostly to issuers, not investors. (5:48) Why dividend bias was relatively harmless, but the covered call craze is not—and how new ETFs “multiply like rabbits.” (7:46) Ben's analysis: in every example studied, covered call investors ended up with less wealth than those holding the underlying equities. (8:13) The hidden trade-off: holding covered call ETFs is like keeping 25–30% of your portfolio in cash for a decade. (9:33) Lighter interlude: Dan teases Ben about his lentil (and later cabbage) lunches. (9:59) First AMA question: Are domestic dividend tax credits already priced into stock valuations? (Short answer: partially, depending on investor composition.) (12:13) Why even if tax benefits are “priced in,” Canadians with favorable tax rates still come out ahead. (15:58) Hedging currencies in commodity economies like Canada and Australia—when it helps, when it hurts, and why there's no perfect answer. (18:48) Dan explains why unhedged portfolios can actually be less volatile for Canadians and why most hedging is imprecise and costly in practice. (20:03) Behavioral perspective: splitting the difference between hedged and unhedged can be the “strategy of least regret.” (21:06) Bonds demystified—why falling prices during rising rates affect funds and individual bonds equally. (22:22) Understanding duration: bond ETFs are designed to stay at a target maturity, while individual bonds age toward zero duration. (26:03) How rising yields actually improve financial plans by boosting future expected returns. (29:08) Choosing the right bond fund duration based on your time horizon and liabilities. (33:39) Are recent bond losses an anomaly? Ben and Dan explain how decades of falling rates created unrealistic expectations. (36:21) The role of unexpected rate changes in bond volatility—and why central banks don't control long-term yields. (38:01) Market-cap weighting: why it remains the most defensible way to allocate across countries and sectors. (41:48) What's changed their thinking after six years of Rational Reminder—from Scott Cederberg's asset allocation data to the behavioral power of homeownership. (45:13) The Horizons/Global X ETF debate: how swap-based, corporate-class structures create tax efficiency—and why that efficiency could vanish. (50:42) Why PWL avoids these products: potential hidden tax liabilities and lack of transparency for clients. (54:31) Borrowing to invest: Ben outlines why leverage works in theory—but Dan explains why most investors shouldn't touch it. (57:25) New “modest leverage” ETFs (125% exposure) as a more behavioral-friendly version of borrowing to invest. (1:00:36) Fulfillment and frustration in finance: helping people achieve peace of mind vs. seeing deception still rampant in the industry. (1:03:09) Five years of Vanguard's all-in-one ETFs (like VEQT): how they've delivered exactly what they promised and reshaped DIY investing in Canada. (1:07:47) Why these “one-ticket” portfolios remain the biggest innovation in Canadian investing—and why global diversification matters more than ever. (1:08:50) Revisiting bonds in retirement: what to expect when they don't offset stock volatility, and how to rethink risk management beyond yield-chasing.   Links From Today's Episode: Meet with PWL Capital: https://calendly.com/d/3vm-t2j-h3p Rational Reminder on iTunes — https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-rational-reminder-podcast/id1426530582.

Gold has been surging this year—but what's behind the rise, and what should investors keep in mind before buying in?Precious metals, such as gold and silver, have long fascinated investors, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. But are they wise investments for today? If so, how should we approach them? Mark Biller joins us today to talk about investing in precious metals.Mark Biller is Executive Editor and Senior Portfolio Manager at Sound Mind Investing, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. The Surge in Gold and SilverGold's remarkable rise has captured headlines again, now up over $4,000 an ounce—up from about $2,600 at the start of 2025. That's a 50% gain this year on top of last year's 26% surge. Silver has jumped even higher, up roughly 60%, while gold mining stocks have more than doubled.What's behind this stunning rally? Several key forces are at play. Global central banks have been buying gold aggressively, a trend that accelerated after the U.S. froze Russia's dollar reserves in 2022. This event shook confidence in the U.S. dollar as a neutral reserve currency. Add in fears of currency debasement stemming from massive government spending since the COVID pandemic, and gold suddenly looks like a safer store of value.As investors around the world look for stability, gold—the “4,000-year-old alternative currency”—is once again shining.To understand today's prices, it helps to look at history. Adjusted for inflation, gold recently surpassed its all-time high from January 1980. Silver, meanwhile, is nearing $50 an ounce—the peak it hit in both 1980 and 2011—but still lags behind those highs when adjusted for inflation.These cycles remind investors that precious metals often move in waves—soaring during manias, then enduring long pullbacks. After its 1980 peak, silver prices dropped nearly 90%; after 2011, they fell by about 70%. Understanding those cycles helps set realistic expectations and temper “gold rush” enthusiasm.Gold as a Store of ValueUnlike stocks or bonds, gold doesn't produce income or dividends. That makes it tricky to value—but also unique. It's not a productive asset; it's a preservative one.For centuries, an ounce of gold could buy a fine men's suit. The same holds true today, illustrating its enduring purchasing power. Gold's real role isn't to generate profit—it's to store value when currencies lose theirs.Viewed this way, gold functions as an alternative currency to the world's paper money systems. As inflation rises and confidence in traditional currencies wavers, gold's relative stability stands out.Gold's appeal intensifies during uncertainty. Whether it's inflation, war, or financial instability, investors turn to gold as a hedge. While Americans rarely consider regime changes, history is filled with nations where financial systems collapsed, and gold helped preserve wealth across transitions.Even in less dramatic times, when governments respond to crises by printing more money, gold tends to perform well. As fear increases, so does the appetite for precious metals.Gold, Silver, and Mining Stocks: Knowing the DifferenceEach part of the precious metals market serves a different role:Gold is the foundation—a global monetary metal and store of value. It's what central banks buy, and it tends to be more stable.Silver is both a monetary and an industrial metal. Its demand fluctuates more with the economy, primarily due to uses in electronics and solar panels. That makes it more volatile—but also more accessible to smaller investors.Mining Stocks are speculative. While they can surge when gold prices rise, they're also risky. Over the long term, mining stocks have underperformed, so investors should approach them with caution.How to Invest Wisely in Precious MetalsWe recommend a balanced approach: Physical gold and silver provide direct ownership and long-term stability. However, storage and security are concerns, so it's best to keep this allocation small—around 5% of your portfolio.ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds) offer convenience and liquidity. They're ideal for active management and diversification.Combining both approaches provides flexibility and peace of mind—anchoring part of your wealth in tangible assets while keeping another portion readily accessible for use.As with any investment, precious metals should be approached with discipline and perspective. They're best viewed as part of a long-term diversification strategy—not a get-rich-quick play.To learn more about investing wisely in gold and silver, Sound Mind Investing has released a free special report for Faith & Finance listeners.

It's well built but always needs work. Thankfully, I can handle many of the repairs myself, as I come from a family of electricians and real estate professionals. The issue is, I can't seem to deduct much of what I do on my taxes, even though I spend a lot of time maintaining the property. I also sometimes barter with family and friends, helping them with projects in exchange for their help. Is there a legal way for me to charge for some of my time or count this work toward deductions?I've got about $7,000 to $8,000 in credit card debt, and I'll be leaving my job soon. I have a 401(k) with a balance similar to mine, and I know that taking it out early means incurring taxes and penalties. Would it make sense to cash out my 401(k) to pay off my credit cards, or would you recommend an alternative approach?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Sound Mind Investing (SMI)Inflation History: The Rise and Fall of the U.S. Dollar (Free Report by Sound Mind Investing)Christian Credit CounselorsWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

In this gripping two-part episode of Impact Theory, Tom Bilyeu welcomes back the ever-provocative Michael Malice—author, podcaster, and noted cultural commentator—for a wide-ranging and sharp-witted exploration of American decline, political polarization, and the state of the nation. Malice, renowned for his contrarian takes and deep dives into political history, brings his brand of irreverent insight to dissect the narratives of collapse and ascension in today's America. In Part 1, Tom and Michael confront the popular notion of America's “decline,” argue over metrics and historical context, and investigate whether we're truly on the verge of societal unraveling. The conversation journeys through economic pressures facing young people, the dangers of polarization and “soft secession,” and the historical parallels with past national struggles. With cutting banter and hard-hitting questions, they provide listeners with fresh perspectives on the culture wars, economic stagnation, and the rise of populism—all while refusing to shy away from uncomfortable truths. 00:00 – Intro 00:34 – anatomy of collapse 05:56 – Soft secession: State vs. federal power games  07:27 – Trade-offs, Trump derangement, and costs of polarization  08:39 – Paths ahead: Civil War, Argentina, or revolution?  10:46 – Revolution mechanics: Is another 1860s-style war possible?  13:12 – Violence, political unrest, and expanding executive power  16:06 – Economic crushing of young people and the rise of populism  17:58 – Housing, inflation, and the struggle for the American Dream  20:08 – Currency as a store of value: Societal ruin and a lack of political will  23:10 – The Japan counterargument and the threshold for crisis  26:07 – What drives people to “blink” in political standoffs?  28:24 – Party priorities, empty rhetoric, and pivoting for power  32:00 – Economic disenfranchisement, the myth of moderate politics  34:23 – Passing on generational wealth: Consequences of deficit spending  36:56 – Populism vs. establishment: Energies within parties  39:03 – Political novelty, enthusiasm gaps, and voter turnout  41:38 – Global leftward drift: Authoritarianism in Canada, UK, and beyond  44:01 – Free speech vs. soft totalitarianism: Censorship through crisis  46:13 – “The time for talk is over”—what this actually means FOLLOW MICHAEL MALICE: Twitter: ⁠https://twitter.com/michaelmalice⁠ Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/michaelmalice/⁠ Locals: ⁠https://malice.locals.com/⁠ Linkedin: Post your job free at ⁠https://linkedin.com/impacttheory⁠ Netsuite: Download the new e-book Navigating Global Trade: 3 Insights for Leaders at ⁠http://NetSuite.com/Theory⁠ Shopify: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial period at ⁠https://shopify.com/impact⁠ Connectteam: 14 day free trial at ⁠https://connecteam.cc/46GxoTF⁠ Tailor Brands: 35% off ⁠https://tailorbrands.com/podcast35⁠ What's up, everybody?

Visit the Sex With Emily Website: https://sexwithemily.com/ In this Sex with Emily episode, Dr. Emily's first guest in the new studio is psychologist Dr. Scott Lyons, author of Addicted to Drama: Healing Dependency on Crisis and Chaos in Yourself and Others. Dr. Lyons reveals how drama addiction isn't just obvious chaos—it's overscheduling, inability to tolerate stillness, and sabotaging intimacy when vulnerability feels threatening. He explains the biology: drama provides energy, numbs pain, and creates sensation that makes us feel alive. Listener questions address a 21-year-old spiraling after her boyfriend called an actress sexy, and a 30-year-old wanting kinkier sex but getting triggered. Dr. Lyons and Dr. Emily emphasize distinguishing sensation-seeking from authentic connection, coming back to the body when triggered, and recognizing how childhood patterns shape adult sexuality and relationships.
