From the biggest headlines surrounding the UFC to the future of boxing, Dana sits down for one of his most candid conversations yet. He addresses the recent controversies that have put him at the center of public debate, including the viral Michelle Obama comment, his appearance at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, and why he believes freedom of speech matters now more than ever. The conversation also dives into the historic UFC event planned at the White House, his vision for reshaping the boxing business, the latest on Conor McGregor, and what it takes to lead one of the biggest sports organizations in the world while navigating constant scrutiny. Beyond the business of fighting, Dana opens up about mental health, managing stress, personal growth, and the mindset that's helped him thrive through decades of pressure, criticism, and success.

Listen to how someone talks for thirty seconds and Michael Mojo can tell you exactly what level they're operating from. Not from their results. From their language. In this episode, he reveals a pattern most people have no idea they're running on repeat, one that's been quietly setting the ceiling on their business, their income, and their life. It shows up in the smallest words. The ones you use every single day without a second thought. Michael breaks down why some people stay stuck in cycles they can't explain, why ambition alone isn't enough to escape it, and what it actually takes to operate from a completely different level, one where you stop needing permission, pressure, or a reason to act at all. Once you hear this, you won't be able to listen to yourself, or anyone else, the same way again. In this episode: The hidden pattern in your language that reveals exactly where you're stuck Why ambition and hard work aren't enough to break the cycle most people are trapped in The single shift that separates high performers from everyone else How to catch this pattern in your own words before it costs you What it actually sounds like when someone has broken free of it completely When you're ready to fast track your results, here's 2 ways I can help: This month's intake for The Odyssey is now open.

Gene Zannetti talks with North Dakota State NCAA All-American Gavin Drexler about taking fourth at the U23 World Trials and rediscovering how to wrestle free when the pressure of placement is removed, how going up a weight to 149 as the lowest seed with the most losses of any All-American that year taught him that giving full effort matters more than the outcome, wrestling through a banged-up knee at nationals and reframing it as one more thing to overcome rather than an excuse, and how seven to eight years of pre-match routines and positive affirmations gave him the ability to override doubt with the work he had already put in.Timestamps:5:52 - Wrestled free with no expectations at U23 World Trials10:59 - Lowest seed with the most losses of any All-American11:44 - Doing all the right things but still not competing to his capability14:14 - Dennis Hall's Greco fundamentals built his hand-fighting foundation21:45 - Chose North Dakota State on gut instinct25:13 - Big 12 breakthrough: avenged a loss and punched his ticket to nationals29:06 - Lost his first match at nationals, let it go, rode the backside to All-American35:55 - Biggest lesson: you have control over what you feed yourself

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show tackled some of the biggest conversations in music and entertainment, starting with Nicki Minaj’s headline-making visit to the White House, where President Donald Trump publicly praised the rapper during a Rose Garden luncheon and Minaj later shared photos from the event using the hashtag “WhiteHouseBarbie.” The crew also discussed the growing controversy surrounding Yung Miami’s viral hit “Spend Dat,” which has sparked debate over its lyrics and messaging after criticism from India Arie. While critics argue the song glamorizes scamming and retail theft, supporters including Monica, Rihanna, Uncle Luke, and Trick Daddy have defended it as entertainment and artistic expression. The show explored both sides of the conversation, including whether artists should be held responsible for the influence their music may have on younger audiences. The crew also reacted to reports that Beyoncé’s surprise single “Morning Dew (Donk)” debuted at a relatively modest position on Spotify’s U.S. chart despite the superstar’s global reach, fueling online discussions about expectations for one of music’s biggest names. Meanwhile, nearly seven years after Nipsey Hussle’s death, court documents show his children have officially received their shares of his estate, which is reportedly valued at approximately $11 million. The conversation highlighted Nipsey’s legacy of ownership and entrepreneurship, with his assets including business interests and intellectual property that will continue benefiting his family.

Interview with Nolan Peterson, CEO, Atlas SaltOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/atlas-salt-tsxvsalt-undervalued-investment-series-with-nolan-peterson-9831Recording date: 25th June 2026Atlas Salt is advancing its Great Atlantic Salt Project in Newfoundland from planning into execution after raising $25 million in equity over the past year, including a $15 million round completed in June 2026. The funding is being used to accelerate early-stage development such as site preparation, engineering work, and infrastructure setup, allowing the company to reduce project risk ahead of full-scale financing. The project, with an estimated total cost of $590 million, is positioned to address a well-documented shortage of de-icing salt across the northeastern United States, Midwest, and eastern Canada.The company is structuring a diversified financing package, targeting roughly 60% of capital from senior secured debt, supplemented by subordinate loans, export credit agency support, and equity contributions. Strategic backing includes an $80 million-plus equipment commitment from Sandvik, alongside potential support from Canadian and Swedish export credit agencies. This layered approach reduces reliance on any single funding source while improving financing flexibility.Atlas operates in a stable, infrastructure-like market. Road salt demand is driven by public safety needs and government procurement, with approximately 10,000 municipal and state buyers purchasing through annual contracts. This structure enables pricing flexibility and avoids dependence on long-term off-take agreements. Unlike many mining projects, the salt deposit offers long-term production without the need for continual resource replacement, supporting predictable cash flows.Notably, Atlas is currently the only new salt mine in development in North America, giving it a unique competitive advantage amid declining supply from aging operations. Its anticipated low-cost position, supported by access to regulated electricity and favorable labor conditions, further strengthens its market outlook. The project has already attracted Canadian pension funds, reflecting its long-duration, stable return profile.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/atlas-saltSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Confidence in the employment market is at an all-time low, with the Iran war still rippling through the economy. A Westpac-McDermott Miller survey for the June quarter reveals confidence fell for public and private sector employees. A net 60 percent of respondents believe it's hard to find a job, up from 46 percent last quarter. Westpac senior economist Michael Gordon says employment confidence has been weak over the past five years, and this data represents another step backwards.

The Lowest Place reveals how pride quietly grows when we begin to trust ourselves more than God. It convinces us that we don't need correction, accountability, or input from others. While pride reaches for the highest seat, Jesus shows us a better way—humility, surrender, and dependence on the Father. The path to true honor is not exalting ourselves, but allowing God to lift us up in His timing.

The American consumer is being misread. Surveys say people are panicking, but their behavior tells a completely different story. On this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different, we take a page out of The Pirate Street Journal, as Christopher Lochhead, Eddie Yoon, and Bri Clark broke down three forces reshaping the economy through a category design lens. From historic lows in consumer confidence to AI-generated buyers to an entire generation betting on prediction markets, the picture is not one of collapse. It is one of reinvention. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go. Record Low Consumer Sentiment Is a Category Creation Engine The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index dropped to 44.8 in May, the lowest reading ever recorded, following what was already a record low in April. Yet unemployment is near zero, GDP is growing, and the stock market keeps hitting new highs. The numbers do not add up because the survey is measuring something different than economic health. It is measuring the death of an old life script. The linear path of college, marriage, house, promotion, and retirement no longer delivers the meaning it once promised. People are not curling up in a ball. They are buying fewer cars, skipping packaged foods, and trading stuff for experiences. When an old script breaks, people are forced to find meaning on their own terms, and that search is historically the most powerful category creation engine the economy has ever seen. The Synthetic Customer Will Scale Mediocrity If You Let It Research shows that AI-generated synthetic customers can replicate roughly 90 percent of real conjoint study outcomes, including which features drive choice and early price sensitivity. Companies like Target and US Bank are already testing products on synthetic audiences before launch. The technology is genuinely exciting and could transform how businesses plan, build, and compete. The danger is that most companies will point their synthetic customer tools at the fat part of the bell curve, optimizing for the average buyer and calling it an insight. Eddie Yoon has spent decades proving that the super consumer, roughly 8 to 10 percent of any customer base, can drive up to 90 percent of gross margins. Synthetic customers are only as powerful as the data they are trained on. Train them on average, and you simulate mediocrity at scale. The unlock is running synthetic studies on super consumers first, then non-consumers, and finding where those two extremes could meet. That intersection is where new categories are born. Proprietary data sets and purpose-built AI applications will separate the companies that discover the next wave from the ones that simply made the status quo slightly cheaper to produce. Gen Z Is Not Irrational, They Are Responding to Real Data Roughly 32 percent of Gen Z investors have played prediction markets, a similar share are in crypto, and about 69 percent of Polymarket accounts have lost money since 2022. On the surface this looks like recklessness. In context, it makes complete sense. This generation grew up through 9/11, the 2008 financial crisis, and Covid, all before they could legally drink. Every institution that promised safety failed at least once during their formative years. The Nasdaq 100 returned roughly 21 percent annually over the last decade. The S&P returned 13 to 14 percent. Sitting still in an index fund would have made them wealthy. But when certainty has detonated repeatedly, patience does not feel safe, it feels naive. The speculation is not stupidity. It is a rational response to a world where the old guarantees proved hollow. The prescription from Eddie Yoon is to hold all three investment buckets at once: a boring cash safety net covering 3 to 18 months of expenses, smart index-based investments with consistent long-term returns, and a smaller speculative position built on genuine expertise and category-level knowledge. Speculation itself is not the enemy. Speculating without a superpower, without real edge, is where the damage gets done.
