Podcasts about what it means

In this powerful episode, Rudi and Anniston Riekstins unpack the emerging paradigm shift around masculine and feminine energy. For too long, society has glorified hustle, control, and dominance—hallmarks of the old masculine. But there's a change happening. A collapse of the outdated masculine frequency is making space for a more integrated, intentional, heart-led model.Rudi shares his personal journey navigating this transformation—from high-performing hustle to a magnetic stillness rooted in presence and self-knowing. Anniston explains how divine feminine and masculine energies exist in all of us, regardless of gender, and how balancing the two leads to power, peace, and alignment.Whether you're a man seeking deeper purpose or a woman looking to understand the shift in energy around you, this episode will challenge, inspire, and empower you to evolve with grace. In this episode, you'll learn:Masculine and feminine energy exist in all of usThe old masculine is collapsing; the new is rooted in presence, stillness, and loveTrue leadership starts with emotional mastery and intentionalityCreating space is more powerful than dominating spaceYour frequency—your energetic state—is your greatest currencyIntegration of masculine/feminine energy leads to alignment and fulfillment

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this episode, Drew and I take you through a whirlwind week where politics, world affairs, and tech innovation collide. We dissect Biden's shocking cancer diagnosis and what it means for the country, dig into Bernie Sanders' eyebrow-raising admission about the Democratic Party, and go deep on just how broken the government really is—and how (or if) it can ever be fixed. We tackle the big questions: What does it take to create a thriving middle class? Should we trust the government to spend more and do more, or do we need to completely rethink the machine? Are we living through a crisis of vision, where our leaders offer no North Star to inspire the country? And with news breaking on both the NIH's gain-of-function research and China's clampdown on gene editing, are we prepared for the next wave of scientific disruption?

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this episode, I sit down with my co-host Drew to rip into one of the most turbulent weeks in global politics and economics we've seen in a long time. We break down not just the moves, but the motives and the possible massive consequences behind Trump's high-octane foreign policy—from slashing tariffs with China and locking in a colossal Saudi investment deal, to taking the unprecedented step of targeting Big Pharma with an executive order to lower drug prices. We get into whether all this fast action is actually helping America or just stirring up more chaos. Are we leveraging our moment, or just getting played by the likes of Xi and Putin? Does tough talk and bold negotiating end with real results for America, or are we setting ourselves up for long-term headaches, especially with midterms on the horizon? Then we peel back the layers on some of the rawest culture war issues, from immigration crackdowns in the UK, the controversy about a Muslim-majority city in Texas, to the viral video of world leaders acting out-of-pocket on a train to Kiev.

Family legacy means different things to different people. For some, it's a big part of who they are, with strong traditions and high expectations. For others, it's something they're still trying to figure out. But how do you build something new while honoring where you came from? In this episode, I have Leslie Lane, the founder and lead photographer of Studio 13. Photography runs in her family, and she's been able to take that legacy and shape it into something of her own. In our conversation, Leslie shares what it was like growing up in a photography family, how she found her own style, and what it means to her to carry that legacy forward while doing things her way. Tune in and learn more! --- Listen to the podcast here: What It Means to Carry Legacy Forward with Lesle Lane Welcome to Action's Antidotes, your antidote to the mindset that keeps you settling for less. Today, I want to talk to you all about a topic that we've yet to really cover in this particular podcast, and that is the idea of a family legacy. I know some people have a stronger family legacy than others. For some people, it really looms large and there's a lot of expectations, and, for others, it's maybe even lacking direction too much. But my guest today, Lesle Lane, is the founder and lead photographer of Studio 13 but she comes from a family that has a legacy of photography and she's been able to take their business and kind of move it in a direction that puts her own mark on it. ---     Lesle, welcome to the program.   Thank you so much for having me. It's such a pleasure.   Definitely. So, tell us first about how photography is part of your family legacy.   I sure will. So, my grandfather actually started the business. He came into the photographic industry because when he was an eighth grader, his father tried to kill him with a garden hoe and so he ran away from home. You've got the shocked look on your face. It's true. He ran away from home and they didn't have Child Protective Services and so he ended up getting in with traveling salespeople, nomadic people, that's what they did, and one of the things that they did was teach him how to be a photographer. And so he would go from town to town taking pictures and then going back several weeks later to deliver the pictures and, finally, came upon my grandmother, who he ended up marrying, though he was hired to shoot her engagement portrait so that was quite scandalous. And then they settled, started their portrait photography business in Columbus, Georgia. And then my mother and father divorced where we moved to Indiana together, she married my stepfather and then I took over his version of the photography studio, which was corporate and commercial work.    It's just shocking to hear someone trying to kill their own son with a garden hoe because people will oftentimes joke about it and they're like, funny, like, “Oh, I could kill you,” or something like that, but like this was a literal attempt to end his own son's life.   Yes, and, actually, I misspoke, it was a stepfather, but still, the man that was married to his mother, and it was during the Depression times, things were not good, there was no work, there was no money. It doesn't excuse it at all but he had no choice. And so my grandfather, he survived and ended up running a very successful business and dying a multimillionaire. He made something amazing of himself after leaving home in the eighth grade. That is a legacy. That is something you can grab on to. Great father, great grandfather, and I'm blessed to have known him.   One of the things that I've done personally and I know a lot of other people have talked about recently and it gets a little bit spiritual sometimes is this idea of multigenerational patterns and how they affect anyone's life going forward. And so you have this family legacy of photography, which I definitely want to talk about as well as that's your business,

Market speculation into commodities like Bitcoin and Crude oil pose dangerous risks during the best of times. Heading into a recession, the stakes are even higher. The temptation to participate during volatile periods is a psychological phenomenon that takes hold among casual investors who rarely realize when they’re part of an institutional con. When leveraged institutions are in desperate need of liquidity they’ll stop at nothing to game the system. In this episode, Max offers a cautionary tale of speculative behavior in the crude oil markets during the financial crisis that very few people even know about. He then connects it to the dangers posed to investors who dabble in digital currencies like Bitcoin, especially under a pro-crypto Trump administration. Access the episode resources.

Bitcoin has dominated headlines, sparked political debates, and divided opinions. Through all the noise, one fact remains: it's been one of the best-performing asset classes of the past decade—but for many, the real significance of this technology is still just starting to sink in. In this episode of Object Subject Form, Simon sits down with Valko, friend, fellow CryptoPunk, and newly appointed Chief of Staff at World Liberty Financial—a decentralized finance platform launched in 2024 to simplify access to digital assets and crypto-backed financial tools. Known for his unwavering conviction in blockchain technology, Valko has gone all in on crypto—an investment stance most financial advisors would call extreme. But what drives this level of conviction? And what lessons can be drawn from it as Bitcoin continues to outperform nearly every traditional asset class over the past decade? Together, they break down the fundamental reasons why Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies matter, why these technologies remain central to conversations about financial sovereignty and technological evolution, and how they may play a pivotal role in shaping the next decade of global economics. Whether listeners are crypto-curious or already deep in the space, this conversation offers perspective on why it's no longer a question if they should pay attention.

This conversation isn't about interest rates, the property cycle, or strategy. It's about the emotional friction that keeps smart investors from moving forward — even when the plan is clear. "I just need to save a bit more first""I'll wait until the market settles""I'm not quite ready yet" These aren't just personal thoughts — they're a pattern. One we've seen hundreds of times. And it's not a strategy problem. It's not about the data, the plan, or the timing. It's the inner game. In this episode, we dive into why so many smart, capable people stay stuck on the edge of investing — and what actually moves the needle. We unpack the psychology of waiting, the emotional loops that masquerade as logic, and how to break free from a mindset that keeps you on pause. We pull apart: The real reasons smart people stall, even when the strategy is sound The mindset patterns we've seen keep people stuck in planning purgatory How to tell when your 'caution' is actually avoidance A better question than "Should I invest now?"

Jerce Reyes Barrios was a pro soccer player in Venezuela — an underdog living a sports-movie dream. Then he became an immigrant to Trump's America: The administration accused Jerce of being a gang member. ICE flew him to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. And his family hasn't spoken to him since. All of this... for a tattoo about his favorite football club. Paola Ramos reports on how Jerce escaped one dictator, only to be trapped by another, thanks to the very collapse of American democracy itself. • Read Paola Ramos' book, "Defectors: The Rise of the Latino Far Right and What It Means for America" https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/741645/defectors-by-paola-ramos/ Learn more about your ad choices.

What if the secret to building your dream business isn't about saving more, but about spending smarter? In this episode, Danielle Hayden, CEO and founder of Kickstart Accounting, Inc., invites you to stop feeling guilty every time you make an investment in your business.

Start Your Transformation Now  What if the only thing holding you back from your full potential… is the identity you've been taught to believe in? In part two of his “Zero Limit Person” series, Jim Fortin takes you deeper into the shift from a limited, human identity to your true nature: a supreme being. He explains the difference between deductive and inductive reasoning and how most of us operate from a framework that keeps us small. In this episode, you'll learn how to begin identifying as a cosmic, divine being—not from ego, but from truth. Jim challenges societal and religious dogma and invites you to see beyond the conditioning you inherited by birth. He offers a liberating perspective: that you are not a nationality, a gender, or a name, but consciousness itself. When you embrace your true nature as source energy, you free yourself from fear, lack, division, and limitation. This episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to dissolve the illusion of separation and reclaim their true spiritual power. What You'll Discover in This Episode:  The Problem with Deductive Identity (02:00)  Why reasoning from your “human self” limits what you think is possible for your life.  How to Shift Into an Inductive Identity (04:30)  Jim explains how to reframe your self-understanding by reasoning from your true, cosmic essence.  The Dogma That Keeps You Small (10:00)  Why cultural and religious belief systems often strip away your inner power—and what to do about it.  “I Am a Supreme Being”: The Awareness to Live By (19:40)  A five-word identity shift that reclaims your power and reshapes your entire life.  How Division Blocks Transformation (17:30)  Jim explores how religion and nationality create separation—and prevent inner evolution.  The Eagle Who Thought It Was a Chicken (26:30)  A powerful metaphor for why most of us live far below our true potential.  What It Means to Truly Know Yourself (30:00)  You'll never think your way to freedom—Jim explains why knowing, not analyzing, is the path to awakening.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  You are not your religion, your passport, your fears, or even your thoughts. You are source. You are a supreme being—consciousness itself—expressing temporarily through human form. Let go of what you've been taught. The moment you know—not just believe—but truly know your divine nature, you awaken from the dream of limitation. Don't try to think your way there. Sit with this awareness. Feel it. Let it rise within you. And when it does, you will no longer just learn transformation—you will be it.  Let's Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Ever feel like your body is working against you no matter how “healthy” you try to be?That's exactly where I found myself—exhausted, bloated, moody, wired yet tired, and frustrated that nothing was working. So I decided to dig deeper. I ran a DUTCH hormone test on myself… and let's just say, the results were humbling.In this raw and honest episode, I'm walking you through what my DUTCH test revealed—and why I now lovingly refer to my hormones as a bit of a “dumpster fire.”Here's what I discovered:

Mortgage delinquencies are up…or are they? One chart that's been circulating on social media would have you believe that a growing number of homeowners are on the brink of foreclosure, driving us toward another 2008-style collapse. Is the panic justified or unfounded? We'll dig into the data in today's episode! A Freddie Mac chart has been doing the rounds recently, showing a massive jump in delinquencies, but what the data really reveals is a spike in another type of real estate delinquency—a trend that should come as no surprise, given how rising interest rates impact adjustable-rate loans. But what about residential real estate? Are regular homeowners now suddenly missing mortgage payments to 2008 levels? There's no denying that we're entering a buyer's market. While a 2008-style housing market crash is unlikely, inventory is growing, and home prices could decline another 2%-3%. Whether you're a regular homebuyer or real estate investor, this means you have an unusual amount of negotiating leverage. We'll share a strategy you can use to insulate yourself from a potential dip and capitalize on an eventual surge in home prices! In This Episode We Cover How mortgage delinquency rates impact the housing market overall Why real estate is historically less volatile than stocks and other markets The “canary in the coal mine” that could signal trouble for the housing industry Why we're seeing an (expected) surge in these mortgage delinquencies Taking advantage of a buyer's market and a potential “dip” in home prices And So Much More!

Have you ever thought about tariffs as a "game-changer" rather than just a “political hot button”? Did you know Japan is quietly investing $1 trillion in U.S. manufacturing—especially in southern and southwestern states? That's right. In this new episode, Dan Sullivan and I dive deep into how tariffs, strategic factory moves, and AI-driven audits may soon reduce our taxes (yes, you read that right) while fueling unprecedented economic growth in America.If that sounds like a Michael Bay movie script, you're not far off—except this is playing out in real life, right now. We talk about Trump's “reciprocal tariffs,” Elon Musk's big-government audit with AI, and why countries like Japan are betting big on producing goods inside the U.S., instead of overseas. If you love big-picture, high-stakes drama with real entrepreneurial takeaways, you'll want to tune in.KEY INSIGHTS & TAKEAWAYSTariffs Are Making a ComebackAfter WWII, the U.S. temporarily abandoned tariffs to rebuild other nations and contain the Soviet threat. Now that era is over, and “reciprocal tariffs” are in play—if you tax American goods, we'll tax yours. Or you can just move your factories to the U.S.Japan's $1 Trillion Bet on American ManufacturingFacing a shrinking workforce, Japan decided 30 years ago to build factories where they sell goods. Enter the U.S. south and southwest—lower labor costs, fewer unions, and easier access to American consumers.Moving the U.S. Government to “Warp Speed”Dan and I discuss Trump's possible plan to use tariffs to fund government operations (hello, “External Revenue Service!”) while simultaneously lowering domestic taxes. If that works, it could trigger an economic boom.AI Audits: Elon Musk's Government OverhaulImagine real-time accounting for every federal check ever cut. That's what happens when you unleash advanced AI to track spending—stopping fraud and inefficiency in its tracks. Lower costs, better governance, fewer excuses.It's Not Just About PoliticsThe reason these moves are so urgent? The U.S. economy is its greatest weapon and negotiation tool. If the numbers line up, say goodbye to bloated budgets and hello to rapid innovation.The Western Hemisphere Is the New Growth EnginePeter Zeihan's research suggests that power is shifting west. Europe's star may be fading, and the big action will be in North and South America—partly because the U.S. can pressure countries with economic, rather than military, force.What It Means for Entrepreneurs (and You)If America becomes the hottest manufacturing hub again, it spells massive opportunity: new factories, high-value jobs, and more disposable income at home. Plus, if government spending shrinks, taxes may drop—fueling startups, scale-ups, and everything in-between.TIME STAMPS[00:00:00] Tariffs 101 Dan explains how tariffs helped the U.S. become #1 by 1900, and why after WWII we artificially dropped them to contain the Soviet Union.[00:03:10] Japan Moves In The backstory behind Japan's multi-decade strategy: build factories in America to sidestep both tariffs and a shrinking domestic workforce.[00:10:44] Economic vs. Military Power Mike and Dan explore how the real “weapon” now is the U.S. economy—not battleships. This is reshaping alliances, trade, and even the future of space exploration.[00:14:26] Union vs. Non-Union States Why overseas giants choose red states over blue to minimize union costs—and how that might transform American politics.[00:24:19] Elon Musk & Government AI Trump taps Musk to audit the entire U.S. government using advanced AI. The potential outcome? $3 trillion “lost” dollars suddenly reappear, possibly replacing the income tax with tariffs.[00:32:57] Europe's Diminishing Relevance Dan argues that Europe has become more of a “historic Disney World” than an innovative force, lacking the cultural spark of earlier centuries.[00:41:00] The Future Is Made in the USA Why more nations, including the UK, India, and South Korea, may follow Japan's lead—bringing factories stateside to dodge tariffs and be closer to American consumers.If you love big ideas and epic plot twists, this episode is basically Netflix's next political thriller—except it's happening in real life. Join Dan and me for a mind-bending conversation on how the world economy could flip in the next few years, and what you can do to position yourself and your business for massive opportunity.Additional ResourcesDownload your FREE digital and/or audio version of my bestselling book, “Your Next Act!”Book your $1k Cup of Coffee with me (Mike) here. SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE VIDEOS
