Sunday's should be for meditation and contemplation. Maybe going to the gun range for target practice. Saturday and the rest of previous week is for podcasting… “In the Midst of Chaos, There is Also Opportunity”: Embracing Adaptability No plan, however brilliant, survives first contact with the enemy—or the market. Sun Tzu was a master of understanding changing conditions. He stressed the importance of adapting tactics based on the situation at hand. “According to the enemy's formation, we adjust our own. Water shapes its course according to the nature of the ground over which it flows; the soldier works out his victory in relation to the foe whom he is facing.” This week's episode I discuss Crypto Ponzi Schemes, use an AI generated guest host to summarize Stephen King's Holly, explain how Shannon Sharpe gives away generational wealth so a Only Fans Model can retire... #ShameaMorton is strategic and getting ready to walk into her greatness. Carlos King proves why he is the King of Reality TV. Navigate to the extended post on my Dale's Angels Inc Blog to get news items and full YouTube video.

Tune in here to this Tuesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about chaos in the political landscape and the strategic use of unpredictability. He emphasizes that while many see disorder as a sign of decline, it can actually signal a calculated and powerful strategy at work. Drawing from historical examples like Hannibal, Scipio, and Sun Tzu, Brett parallels these ancient tactics with Donald Trump’s political maneuvering, claiming Trump uses confusion as a tool to destabilize opponents and consolidate influence. He argues that what some view as random or reckless is actually deliberate, and it's reshaping America’s position globally. Brett contends that the economy is strong, rivals like Iran and China are unsettled, and allies are aligning with U.S. interests. Throughout the monologue, he stresses that confusion isn’t the end—it's the beginning of dominance, positioning Trump’s strategy as both modern and rooted in timeless principles of power and warfare.

Beth Troutman from Good Morning BT is also here for this Tuesday's episode of Crossing the Streams. Brett and Beth talk about the importance of simplifying government systems and bringing fresh perspectives into Washington. Beth shares her top two national policy priorities: implementing a fair tax system and establishing term limits for elected officials. She argues that a streamlined, transparent tax structure would reduce confusion and ensure everyone contributes fairly, while term limits would encourage public service over career politics. Brett and Beth explore the idea that limiting time in office could naturally phase out aging politicians and reduce corruption tied to long-term incumbency. Beth also shares what She and Bo have coming up Wednesday on Good Morning BT! Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!

Sun Tzu was a Chinese general, military strategist, writer, and philosopher who lived in the Eastern Zhou period of ancient China. Sun Tzu stresses the importance of knowing one's own strengths and weaknesses, as well as those of the enemy, to gain a strategic advantage. Avoiding Unnecessary Conflict: A core principle is to avoid battle whenever possible, seeking to subdue the enemy through diplomacy or other means before resorting to direct confrontation. • Psychological Warfare: Involves manipulating the enemy's perception and actions, not engaging in personal attacks or pettiness. I am NOT a communist sympathizer, but China got the scratch to be about that life… ***China seems to think the US wants the smoke, so China is like... bring it. I hope it is true that while they leave the MAGA trade negotiators on read, China is playing Obama speeches…I want this to be true #pettylujah From Epstein's files cover-up, to attempting to gaslight Jerome Powell, to believing the cost of a building completed 5 years ago has anything to do with current renovations, and Mr. Powell will not be bullied into crashing the world economy. Unless someone is getting handcuffed, super-sized because of swelling, due to the association with that dead pedophile, or an actual plan to reduce the deficit, I don't care about these stupid news items. They are a distraction from reality. Crypto really is the wild, wild west. Thieves working hard to appear legit, why not work hard and just be legit? Anyone contacting you randomly on social media, trying to get you to invest your money or help them steal, is a scam.

Tune in here to this Wednesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the program by talking about victory and momentum—both in politics and in the broader cultural fight for America’s future. With characteristic passion, he reminds listeners that a win isn't truly a win unless it breaks the opponent’s will to resist. Citing figures like Ulysses S. Grant and Sun Tzu, Brett underscores the importance of pushing through resistance and securing lasting change, not just symbolic triumphs. He challenges listeners not to settle for temporary applause or half-measures but to pursue real, definitive outcomes. Later Brett is joined by New York City mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa to discuss his radical competitors and his plan for NYC if elected. From the perspective of outsiders, it appears that New York is filled to the brim with radical leftists who voted for Mamdani, the self-described communist, but Sliwa calls on the millions of everyday conservative Americans who keep NYC running day in and day out. These are the people who built America's greatest city, and they're the people who will cast their vote for a better, safer New York City. "I am the candidate who can do it because I am the consummate New Yorker," Sliwa said. Sliwa sees no difference between the communist Mamdani and the liberals Cuomo and Adams. They all support allowing illegal immigrants to vote and many other radical policies. Curtis Sliwa is the only common-sense candidate in this race.

I'm reading and talking about Ted Gioia's "Immersive Humanities Course," 52 weeks of World Classics.Before we start, though, we talk about graduation speeches...and share the graduation speech we wish we'd heard.Next, we journey from Western literature back to ancient China to explore two timeless texts: Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching (c. 500 B.C.) and Sun Tzu's The Art of War (c. 400 B.C.), roughly contemporary with Confucius and Plato. After a lukewarm experience with Confucius' Analects in Week 4, we adjusted our approach to these aphoristic works, splitting each into five parts and interleaving them daily. While this didn't make reading easier, it encouraged comparisons between the two.The Tao Te Ching offers a serene philosophy of “the Way,” advocating a life of detachment and flow, like a leaf on a stream. Key insights include prioritizing essence over form (e.g., the space within walls over the walls themselves), embracing hands-off leadership, and avoiding rules or weapons that may incite vice or war. But it's passive: retreating rather than advancing in the face of evil feels challenging, especially compared to active resistance like Gandhi's. The Tao's detachment felt isolating, distinct from the interconnected self-emptying of the Dhammapada or Boethius' Christian-Stoic blend.In contrast, The Art of War is a ruthless manual of military strategy. Sun Tzu, who famously beheaded two concubines to prove his methods to King Ho Lu, emphasizes deception, swift victory, and avoiding prolonged conflict. Key takeaways: defensive measures prevent defeat but don't ensure victory; desperate soldiers fight hardest; and spies are a humane, cost-effective tool. We ponder the status of Sun's soldiers (free or enslaved?), recalling Herodotus' Spartan-Persian debates on free men's ferocity. The texts seem to clash: the Tao's passivity versus Sun's calculated control, though Sun's strategic setups might align with the Tao's inevitable flow.We noted a cultural contrast: Chinese texts lack the narrative epics of Western heroes like Odysseus or Gilgamesh, hinting at differing worldviews. Unlike Confucius' moral focus, neither text emphasizes goodness, which surprised us. Our Tao edition (Stephen Miller's) felt overly modernized, while our unannotated Art of War was dry but tactically insightful, especially for business or military studies. Pairing it with Herodotus or Machiavelli could be illuminating.Don't skip the music! Three albums each from the Beatles and The Rolling Stones...when was the last time you listened to one all the way through?Next week, we return to narrative with Apuleius' Golden Ass, explore Scott Joplin's ragtime, and admire van Gogh's art.

In this episode, my son Jack joins me to examine The Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius, a Roman scholar living just after the fall of the Roman Empire in 476 CE. A renaissance man before the Renaissance, Boethius translated Greek philosophers like Aristotle and Plato, served as a trusted aide to the Gothic king Theodoric in Ravenna, and was a mathematician, astronomer, and family man whose sons became consuls in their early 20s. Despite his Christian faith, tensions with the Arian Theodoric led to his imprisonment and brutal execution at 44. This tragedy tarnished Theodoric's rule, but Boethius' legacy shaped medieval thought, preserving Greek philosophy and influencing giants like Chaucer, Dante, Aquinas, and Shakespeare.Written in a cell awaiting death, The Consolation of Philosophy is a profound dialogue between Boethius and Lady Philosophy. Divided into five books, it blends prose (prosa) and poetry (metrea), offering wisdom through a narrative arc. Book One introduces Boethius' despair; Book Two explores Fortune's fickleness; Book Three seeks the highest Good; Book Four tackles the problem of evil; and Book Five reconciles divine foreknowledge with free will. The poems, rich with mythological and Biblical imagery, provide emotional breaks and reinforce the prose's insights. As C.S. Lewis noted, this work was beloved by educated Europeans for centuries.Boethius weaves Neoplatonism, Stoicism, and Aristotelian ideas into a Christian framework. Lady Philosophy echoes Plato's belief in innate knowledge, urging Boethius to “dream of your origin,” and champions philosopher-kings. Stoic themes emerge as she declares the mind free despite bodily exile, while Aristotle's Unmoved Mover aligns with Boethius' God. The concept of exile as a spiritual crisis resonates, connecting Boethius to figures like Odysseus and Dante.Jack and I discuss whether this is a satire, and how much both of us love Boethius as a character in his own novel.The Ignatius Press edition, translated by Scott Goins and Barbara Wyman, shines with clear prose, excellent footnotes, and quality paper—perfect for annotating. This book demands a reread and sparks a reading list including Chaucer, Milton, and C.S. Lewis' The Discarded Image. Join us! I think this book is for everyone, but even if you think, "Maybe not for me," you'll know what it's about and why it matters.This is a year-long challenge!

**REPEAT EPISODE*** So good I had to say it again… Sun Tzu was a Chinese general, military strategist, writer, and philosopher who lived in the Eastern Zhou period of ancient China. Sun Tzu stresses the importance of knowing one's own strengths and weaknesses, as well as those of the enemy, to gain a strategic advantage. Avoiding Unnecessary Conflict: A core principle is to avoid battle whenever possible, seeking to subdue the enemy through diplomacy or other means before resorting to direct confrontation. • Psychological Warfare: Involves manipulating the enemy's perception and actions, not engaging in personal attacks or pettiness.

Michael Savage examines the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. He discusses the divided opinions in America about whether the U.S. should intervene. He shares comments from his listeners on the conflict. He discusses what he has learned about combating radical Islam from Dr. Zuhdi Jasser of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy. Savage highlights the sentiments of Iranians who hope Israeli actions could lead to governmental change in Iran. He shares insights from the National Council of Resistance of Iran and Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, who express optimism about a post-regime future.

In this reflective and fiery episode of the RattlerGator Report, J.B. White kicks off a laid-back summer Monday with sharp insight into the deeper meaning behind Trump's birthday parade and the failed “No Kings” astroturf campaign. Blending spiritual conviction with military strategy, J.B. weaves personal anecdotes, birthday reflections, and gospel soundtracks into a passionate monologue on Project De-Weaponization, discernment, and the power of Sun Tzu's philosophy in Trump's second act. He explores the psychological and geopolitical implications of America's Indo-Pacific pivot, Iran's missteps, and China's internal fracture, suggesting a quiet transfer of power underway behind the scenes. With characteristic candor and patriotic fire, J.B. lays out why Trump is winning the global narrative war, one strategic move at a time.
TODAY: Trump V Musk. Who will win? Or is it "Sun Tzu level warfare"? We cover the open conflict between the two high-energy type A alpha males. What did Elon mean by "Trump is in the Epstein files"? What did Trump mean by "Elon is a drug addict"? Could this be a golden opportunity for Democrats to add another repulsive billionaire to their team? Are the crafty showmen staging a brilliant game of 4D chess visible only to their most emotionally intelligent supporters? Or is this just another false gesture at a hidden world of elite predators who will never see justice? Possibly, but either way at least I'm racist now.

On today's show we are talking about how last week's drone attack in Russia will forever change the way investments are made in military equipment and warfare in general. The economy in the US is being bolstered by a significant amount of defence spending. Europe is about to increase its defence spending on a large scale. The same can be said for Canada. Conventional warfare has been based on the premise that the biggest baddest army will overwhelm an enemy and crush any opposition. That notion got challenged in some of the most prominent writings including Sun Tzu who wrote “The Art of War” in the 6th Century BC. It was employed during the Byzantine Empire along its eastern front in the 8th and 10th centuries. Sure you can shoot a $1000 drone out of the sky with a million dollar Patriot missile. But is that an efficient defence against these new threats? Now this is a real estate show, not a military show. We're here to talk about real estate. When we think of real estate investment one of the principles is that demand for real estate follows employment.When we think of military industrial complex it conjures up images of companies like Lockheed Martin, Harris, Honeywell, Textron. These companies drive major employment. But increasingly the military industry is seeing a lot of new entrants. One of my business partners runs a incubator that is focused on the defence industry in Colorado Springs. This facility is conducting some of the most advanced research and development on new military systems. The speed and agility with which the Ukraine has modernized its underdog military is a lesson for countries looking to modernize their military. ---------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1) iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613) Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com) LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce) YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso) Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com) **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com) Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital) Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)
What separates struggling medical practices from thriving seven-figure businesses? The answer might be sitting on your bookshelf—or waiting to be discovered. Dr. TJ Ahn pulls back the curtain on the literary foundation that helped him build multiple successful practices while maintaining his sanity in today's challenging healthcare environment.Starting with Sun Tzu's "The Art of War," Dr. Ahn reveals how ancient strategic wisdom translates perfectly to modern medical practice positioning—winning without fighting by understanding your unique strengths and market. He walks through game-changing concepts like creating a three-year "Vivid Vision" that aligns your entire team, mastering time management through delegation, and harnessing the power of mastermind groups to accelerate your growth.Beyond strategy, Dr. Ahn explores how understanding persuasion psychology transforms patient communication, why finding your "One Thing" creates magnetic attraction in your specialty, and how clarity consistently outperforms mere persuasion in marketing.

In this episode of Breaking History, Matt Ehret and Ghost dissect the increasingly bizarre geopolitical chessboard, with a focus on Trump's proposed “Golden Dome”, a space-based missile defense system that's drawing fire from Russia, China, and North Korea. The duo questions whether this grandiose plan is a legitimate defense strategy or a high-stakes narrative ploy designed to shift global attention and accelerate resolution through rhetorical escalation. They explore the possible kabuki theatre behind Trump's provocative language about Putin, suggesting Trump's public anger may be part of a broader strategy to neutralize warmongers and hijack the global narrative. Ghost connects the dots between Trump's media tactics and Sun Tzu's art of misdirection, while Matt takes a historical deep dive into U.S. encirclement strategies, NATO expansion, and the shadow influence of ancient imperial models like the Athenian Golden Age, ironically echoed by King Charles' pageantry in Canada. With talk of nuclear brinkmanship, elite cults, British monarchy theatrics, and the mythmaking machine of modern empire, this episode is a dense but entertaining breakdown of power, propaganda, and the stories we're told to believe. Buckle up, it's part geopolitics, part theater, and all Badlands.

In our second episode on Sun-Tzu's The Art of War, we dive into the cultural movement that introduced it to the west: the first Jesuit mission to China. From 1552 until 1773, the missionary priests of the Society of Jesus were the primary channel for communication between China and Europe. While their main goal was the conversion of souls, they wound up sharing science, technology, and literature with their hosts and their hundreds of correspondents back home. Listen to the story of Jean Joseph Marie Amiot (1718-1793), who was the first writer to translate The Art of War into a European language, and a member of the last generation of Jesuit pioneers in China.

Sun Tzu was a Chinese general, military strategist, writer, and philosopher who lived in the Eastern Zhou period of ancient China. Sun Tzu stresses the importance of knowing one's own strengths and weaknesses, as well as those of the enemy, to gain a strategic advantage. Avoiding Unnecessary Conflict: A core principle is to avoid battle whenever possible, seeking to subdue the enemy through diplomacy or other means before resorting to direct confrontation. • Psychological Warfare: Involves manipulating the enemy's perception and actions, not engaging in personal attacks or pettiness.

Verse 77 this time. I call it ‘The Tao of Robin Hood,' who was an equalizer of his (mythical) day, like Tao is all the time. In its yin-yang algorithm, ‘just enough' is given to all, so no one lacks, and no one has more than enough. If another, ‘human tao' interfereswith ‘Heaven's Tao,' then the yin-yang balance actually takes from those with too much, and gives to those with not enough.In this episode Marc confesses his love of Marx's analytical power to understand big power issues (though he has no love for Marxism, or its actual practices in real time).We hear from lots of voices today: Thich Naht Hanh, The Buddha, Mick Jagger, Sun Tzu, and Herman Melville.
Eddie's going deep for today's quote–all the way back to Sun Tzu's Art of War (which you can hear for free on Youtube if you can spare 72 minutes.)“Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.” Sometimes people will use these two words interchangeably. Here's the difference:Strategy is the long-term plan. What you plan to achieve in the distance.Tactics are the thoughtfully crafted short-term methods for working out that strategy. In exploring Sun Tzu's words, we discuss Tyler's business and bodies on Everest.We acknowledge that tactics may vary as you work backward from the strategy.Go build something awesome!CHECK OUT THE PARTNERS THAT MAKE OUR SHOW POSSIBLE: https://www.brospodcast.com/partnersFIND US ONLINE: -Our website: https://www.brospodcast.com -LinkedIn: / constructionbrospodcast -Instagram: / constructionbrospodcast -TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@constructionbrothers?lang=en-Eddie on LinkedIn: / eddie-c-057b3b11 -Tyler on LinkedIn: / tylerscottcampbell If you enjoy the podcast, please rate us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to us!

"Know your enemy, know yourself, and victory is never in doubt, not in a hundred battles." So wrote the legendary Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu sometime in the 6th or possibly 5th or possibly 4th century BCE. While Sun Tzu's existence and the exact date of the composition of the text associated with his name are uncertain, the work has influenced commanders, diplomats, C-suite executives, and World Cup-winning soccer coaches for more than two thousand years. In this episode, host Rose Judson walks through all 13 chapters of The Art of War and is surprised to find that a good two-thirds of it could be called The Art of Avoiding War Until You Absolutely Can't Anymore.Want to read a transcript or see our reference list for this episode?

What would America's founding father pray about? In this revealing episode, we examine George Washington's personal prayer journal, discovering a man who deeply acknowledged his sinfulness while fervently seeking God's mercy through Jesus Christ. His humble words—"I confess them, O Lord, with shame and sorrow, detestation and loathing"—paint a portrait of genuine Christian faith that shaped his worldview and leadership.Washington's explicit references to Jesus as his "only Savior" and his prayers for God to "bless our rulers in church and state" create a powerful challenge to modern narratives about America's founding. As Judge Nathaniel Freeman declared in 1802, our nation "may be considered not as a pagan but a Christian republic." The podcast explores how these primary source documents undermine revisionist histories that attempt to divorce America's governmental foundations from its Christian roots.We also journey through Jesus's Sermon on the Mount, reflecting on the seemingly impossible standards of the Beatitudes. Could their purpose be to demonstrate our absolute need for a Savior? The discussion of meekness reveals it isn't weakness, but rather "strength under control"—the capacity for action restrained by choice. This understanding transforms how we approach Jesus's challenging teachings.The episode concludes with a heartfelt call to action: use whatever time remains to strengthen our communities through faith. Starting with our own spiritual lives and marriages, then expanding outward to family, church, school, and nation, we're challenged to influence our spheres with godly principles. As John Quincy Adams wisely noted, "Duty is ours, results are God's." What duty might God be calling you to fulfill today?Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe
MILITARY WARRIOR AND AUTHOR SUN TZU WROTE, "The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting." He wrote, "It is more important to outthink your enemy than to outfight him." If Sun Tzu was right Donald Trump has already lost the Trade War with China. Two days ago, I read the article I am quoting in this episode of Political Woman, "I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE AFRAID FOR MY COUNTRY'S FUTURE." In the New York Times, award-winning reporter Thomas L. Friedman nailed how I feel about Trump's unplanned, mismanaged, knee-jerk tariffs. I hope you agree,

JB White returns with a fiery episode of the RattlerGator Report, diving headfirst into the power moves, psyops, and strategic warfare shaping Trump 2.0's offensive. From General Flynn's no-holds-barred call for treason arrests, including Obama, Brennan, and Rice, to the revival of Schedule F as the ultimate deep state-clearing weapon, JB lays out the real battle plan behind the chaos. He unpacks the escalating trade war with China, spotlighting Kevin O'Leary's bombshell radio appearance and the strategic pressure on Chinese firms exploiting U.S. legal loopholes. JB doesn't hold back on media wordplay either, torching the left's narrative about a “mistaken removal” of an MS-13 member and dismantling DOJ disinfo one rhetorical grenade at a time. There's also an impassioned defense of Stephen Miller and General Flynn, a breakdown of why normies are finally catching on to the Sun Tzu-style Trump doctrine, and a big-picture analysis of how Schedule F is being tactically reshaped to gut entrenched bureaucracy without firing a shot. From shout-outs to Badlands' upcoming Plymouth stop to a few hilarious tangents about styes, football, and “Pip Jennies,” this episode is classic RattlerGator...unfiltered, unrelenting, and unapologetically America First.

JB White returns to Florida victorious, and fired up, after the Gators claim the national basketball title in a heart-stopping Final Four finish. The episode opens with a passionate breakdown of Florida's championship run, the politics behind NCAA seeding, and why Bubba Cunningham's bracket manipulation couldn't stop the mighty Gators from making history. JB dishes out well-earned SEC swagger while reflecting on the broader cultural and psychological impact of the win. But once the celebration winds down, the conversation turns to high-stakes geopolitics. JB reads and responds to a powerful thread from JustAnotherPod and its reply, both laying out the economic and strategic gamble behind Trump's aggressive global realignment. From trade wars and military posturing to treasury manipulation and NATO pressure, JB breaks down how Trump's team is executing an “economic blitzkrieg”, a full-spectrum strategy to collapse China's industrial rise, rewire the world economy, and defang globalist control. He sharply critiques the "Sovereign Alliance" theory, dismisses Putin's “gas station” empire, and reasserts Trump's dominance as a geopolitical chess master executing Sun Tzu's playbook. The show closes with a harsh rebuke of lawless judges, a shoutout to SCOTUS's latest Trump victory, and a reminder that what we're witnessing is not chaos, it's a methodical takedown of a corrupt system. Packed with insight, fire, and Florida pride, this episode proves JB White is in championship form himself.
J.B. White checks in from Nashville with a special Friday edition of the RattlerGator Report, packed with SEC pride, poetic reflections, and deep geopolitical insight. He opens with a tribute to Jon Herold and the Badlands team, shares tales from the meetup, and declares it “Mighty Gator Weekend” as Florida heads into the Final Four. The episode features a powerful double reading of Paul Laurence Dunbar's We Wear the Mask by J.B., as a lens to explore the psychological and strategic battle facing America. J.B. draws a vivid line from Dunbar's words to Donald Trump's mastery of perception, camouflage, and narrative warfare, invoking Sun Tzu and Proverbs to explain 45's global power moves. From dollar dominance and the new tariff structure to mask metaphors and cultural reflection, this is classic RattlerGator: wise, witty, and unapologetically American.
J.B. White is walking on cloud nine in this high-energy episode of The RattlerGator Report, riding the wave of Florida's miraculous Final Four run. After a joyous deep-dive into the Gators' thrilling comeback win, he pivots to hard-hitting geopolitical and economic analysis. From Trump's Sun Tzu-style tariff warfare to Howard Lutnick's rise as Commerce Secretary and his Bitcoin-fueled national wealth strategy, J.B. connects the dots like only he can. He delivers sharp takes on XRP vs. Bitcoin, the commercial battlefield ahead, and why Michael Saylor and Donald Trump may be the duo reshaping the global financial system.
