Welcome to a milestone episode of The Higher Standard — our final recording in the studio that saw it all: hot takes, financial rants, emotional confessions, and at least one broken mic stand. In this sendoff, Chris and Saied wax poetic (and sarcastic) about the evolution of the show, what it took to build the brand from a neon-lit cave to a next-gen recording fortress, and why growth — both personal and professional — sometimes requires saying goodbye to comfort. If these walls could talk, they’d probably file for workers’ comp.

➡️ But this isn’t just a trip down memory lane. We tackle the uncomfortable realities of volatility in today’s markets, the rise of AI’s takeover of traditional labor, and how to stay grounded when the ground keeps shifting. It’s a mix of tough love, real talk, and a little nostalgia — delivered in our signature style: punchy, unfiltered, and mildly inappropriate. Buckle up. The future is now, and it’s got better lighting.
