All this political rage, anxiety over money, and people choosing “sides” like it’s the Hunger Games — it’s actually NOT a glitch in your system. This is the episode that finally pulls back the curtain and exposes why it’s happening, what history tells us about these moments, and just how dangerous things could get if we don’t fix the TRUE root cause. We’re diving deep into the cycle of populism, that scary time in history when ordinary people become capable of unthinkable things, all because of emotional reasoning and economic panic. Whether you’re worried about the next election, feeling anxious about rising prices, or just sick of the anger and division, this is the context you need to see through the chaos. 00:00 - Intro 02:08 - It's The Economy Stupid 08:43 - You Are Not Who You Think You Are 20:11 - The Two Ways Our Current Era Ends Pique: 20% off at https://piquelife.com/impact Truemed: Check your eligibility and start saving at https://truemed.com/impact Quo: Try for free PLUS get 20% off your first 6 months at https://quo.com/impact Netsuite: Right now, get our free business guide, Demystifying AI, at https://NetSuite.com/Theory Quince : Free shipping and 365-day returns at https://quince.com/impactpod PlaudAI : Get 10% off with code IMPACT at https://plaud.ai/impact Whatnot : Download the Whatnot app today and get free shipping on your first order.
