Talking points: culture, economics, mindset, debt, Ed Hardy

To maybe understate things, it's a jungle out there right now, financially speaking. I've really enjoyed Morgan's books and perspective, so in early April, I asked him to come on. He shared TONS of insight on tariffs, what's next, how the average person can change their financial straights for the better, even Fartcoin. Listen in.

(00:09:35) - If it’s about bringing manufacturing back, then will jobs go to workers—or to automation?

(00:16:37) - On tariff misconceptions and myths, and the difference between personal debt and government debt

(00:25:27) - How does the average person weather the storm?

(00:29:49) - How building wealth is behavioral, not intellectual, and the anti-capitalist mindset

(00:38:19) - What to do when you’re struggling to get your finances under control

Talking points: relationships, leadership

A while back, I launched a video on how men can better lead themselves and their relationships. It got a ton of dialogue, let's just say. Here's what I mean by lead, and three definitive steps to getting it right.

(00:00:00) - Defining what “lead” actually means

(00:04:08) - The first thing to do
