Congressman Ralph Norman has officially entered the South Carolina governor's race, promising to “clean up Columbia” and take on the entrenched political establishment. Known for his unwavering fiscal conservatism—even when it meant opposing Donald Trump—Norman brings backbone and a reform-minded agenda, including a proposed Department of Government Efficiency. The hosts explore the brewing primary showdown between moderate and hardline conservatives, the influence of past figures like Jim DeMint and Mark Sanford, and why this race is shaping up to be anything but boring. With potential entrants like Nancy Mace and policy positions from abolishing the state income tax to expanding gun rights, South Carolina's GOP primary could be a defining moment for the future of red-state governance.

Did Condé Nast shape the world? In this episode of Americano, Freddy Gray speaks with New York Times writer and debut author Michael Grynbaum about his new book Empire of the Elite, a sweeping history of Condé Nast – the media empire that once dictated American taste, fashion, and celebrity.

In this episode of the On Adventure Podcast, I sit down with Brian Warren—an elite mountain guide whose life has been defined by risk, reinvention, and a deep connection to the mountains.

This week we're talking about the new book, “Forged in Chaos: A Warrior's Origin Story” by Army Special Operations veteran Tyler Grey. Tyler was the epitome of the modern warrior, a Delta Force operator, master of counterterrorism. He hunted the worst bullies on the world's playground—high-value targets, bomb makers, warlords—executing covert missions that never made the news- until one mission in Sadr City, Iraq changed everything.” On what should've been a routine raid, an explosion ripped through the home shattering his arm and worse; it fractured his identity. Grey describes “chaos addiction” and how most combat veterans share a similar past, which support his groundbreaking LTSD theory, “Lack of Traumatic Stress Disorder”. We hear how this theory explains why Grey managed his mental health crisis with drugs, sex and toxic relationships. We also examine two traits common among combat vets, which he calls “The Warrior and Destroyer”. Grey also revealed serious flaws behind modern medicine's current PTSD diagnosis, and how anyone who has experienced trauma can learn from his fight to conquer the battle within. This book doesn't challenge the narrative; it destroys it, laying bare the cost of being forged in chaos.

He questions whether Volpe can overhaul his mechanics mid-season and highlights the Yankees' recent draft picks of multiple shortstops as a clear message to the struggling young player. The discussion emphasizes the dire state of the Yankees' offense and defense, with callers chiming in on the team's overall fundamental issues and lack of "Yankee blood" in the coaching staff.

Elite universities know they're in the wrong. For years, they've been:  Charging upwards of 60% for “overhead” costs for federal research grants. Blatantly violating the U.S. Supreme Court's 2023 Civil Rights ruling barring race-based admissions and hiring practices.  Allowing rampant antisemitism on campus. Reliant on international students from illiberal regimes. Facing both mounting pressure from the Trump administration to change their ways, and vocal opposition from their Marxist students and faculty to remain the same, university presidents are starting to fold: So, how do these presidents do it? They're afraid of their students. They're afraid of their Marxist faculty. So what they're doing is, essentially, they're talking to the Trump administration. And they're going to go right back and they're going to say, ‘You know, I did not want to do this. I really did not want to cut a deal. I want to keep going with DEI. I think we have a right to. But I can't. Donald Trump's a tough customer. If I don't cut a deal with him, we're gonna go broke. We'll get no federal funds. We'll get no federal grants. We'll get an even bigger tax on our endowment. So I've got to cut a deal. He made me do it.'

Matty A. retells the ancient Sword of Damocles parable—a cautionary tale about the hidden risks, pressures, and responsibilities that come with power. He draws parallels between this story and today's world of investing and entrepreneurship, where success can feel glamorous but often carries unseen danger over your head.Ancient Story RecapDamocles, a courtier, envies the life of King Dionysius and is offered to switch roles for a day.While enjoying his new status, Damocles discovers a sword hanging by a single hair above his throne—illustrating that prestige often conceals constant peril.He quickly steps down, realizing that what appeared desirable from afar held immense hidden burden.Core LessonsPrestige comes with peril: The more power and success you pursue, the greater the hidden risks you inherit.Appreciation vs. reality: Outsiders see only the shine; insiders bear unrelenting stress and threat.Balanced ambition: True elite success demands awareness and acceptance of continuous pressure, not blind pursuit.Relevance to Investors & EntrepreneursReal estate risks: Each opportunity—whether CRE, syndication deals, or entrepreneurial ventures—hides potential "swords" like financing pitfalls, market shifts, and regulatory hurdles.Leadership burden: Scaling a business or leading teams brings responsibility, scrutiny, and complex decision-making that can feel like a sword hanging overhead.Strategic resilience: Success requires building both mental and financial safeguards—reserve funds, legal structures, and support systems—to withstand those pressures.Tools & Next StepsRisk Audit: Identify your personal and investment-related “swords”—the threats only you can see.Protective Measures: Build buffer systems—insurance, contingencies, advisors—to neutralize risk.Sustainable Success Planning: Create a roadmap that aligns your ambition with your capacity, ensuring growth without collapse.Key TakeawayElite success isn't just about climbing higher—it's about maintaining balance while a metaphorical sword lies overhead. Let the parable of Damocles remind you: True leadership and wealth come not from avoiding pressure, but from preparing to hold your ground under it.Episode Sponsored By:Discover Financial Millionaire Mindcast Shop: Buy the Rich Life Planner and Get the Wealth-Building Bundle for FREE!
