In this episode, I sit down with Dave Collum. We dive deep into why the financial legends who warned us about insane market bubbles back in 2015 might not have been wrong – they might have just been early. We’re talking about an economy at 35,000 feet with its engines on fire, and the solution has been to climb to 45,000 feet. That doesn’t fix the problem. This is raw, unfiltered truth about corruption, fake jobs, market insanity, and why keeping your head on a swivel has never been more important. ––– Offers & Discounts ––– 🏥 CrowdHealth - Ditch your fiat health insurance like my family did.
