Episode Details

“What is the goal? What does it take to get to the goal? What is the most efficient path to get to the goal? And is the goal obtainable?” Michael starts the podcast off asking these critical questions and relates them back to the explosion of social media in today’s culture. Social media is constantly being thrown in everyone’s face, and subsequently you need an efficient tool kit under your belt to be able to gain any type of real achievement in today’s world.

There is an epidemic of 20 to 30 year old men who cannot think. There is also a feminization of men that is taking over the younger generation. They seem to only be attached to their feelings. Men have traditionally had a more analytical view on things and women have a greater capacity to think with emotion. The analytical side of men is starting to get edged away.

Michael then poses the question, “How do you end the dominance of the 1%?” Michael says you either take their money, or kill them. If you do not act on one of those two things, then how else do you strip away their dominance? Once you walk through how you are going to “take care of the 1%” then you realize the statement is a sham. It just doesn’t work.

Michael moves on to poverty and unemployment next. 50% of Americans do not have $1 in the bank. 50% of Americans are also on welfare. Looking at the overall health of the American economy, things look a little messy, however the stock market is at all time highs. Although nobody can predict exactly when a black swan will hit, the economy is sure looking like it is ready for one.
