My guest today is my friend Michael Kimelman. Michael is an expert on disruptive innovation and personal disruption; he uses the lessons of his own life to offer inspiration and insight to others — from formerly incarcerated youth to global CEOs — on overcoming personal and professional challenges. His mission is to empower people with the skills and mindset to become resilient and prosper in the face of adversity. Michael was a lawyer at Sullivan & Cromwell and then founded Incremental Capital, a New York-based hedge fund. He led Blockchain Strategic Development at Loop Media, Inc., and co-founded Crypto.IQ, a strategic advisory and media firm with a focus on digital assets. Michael is currently focused on providing value and insights to his clients through one-on-one coaching, mastermind groups, and speaking events. I also highly recommend Michael's newsletter: Sovereign Sundays. Michael provides weekly informative and thought provoking content about the markets, politics, and personal disruption. In our discussion, we cover the importance of independent thinking, the erosion of American liberties, and the Great American Schism. We also discuss Bitcoin and the need for sovereign money. Another major talking point in our discussion was the eroding belief of achieving the American dream and a cultural shift toward a society that embraces a victim mentality. This is a must listen.
