“Shaming” anyone for their appearance or lack of wealth is unacceptable. So why is it acceptable for unsuccessful or unhealthy people to shame healthy people?

“I'm about to turn 45 and I'm in the best shape of my life, best shape of my life. Not a week goes by where someone doesn't give me a complete weird look or, "Wow, you're weird. You're on that weird diet." All because what? I don't eat shit. I don't eat refined sugars. I don't eat, I try to drink healthy wine. We try to eat organic food. I don't push it on anyone else, but I've made decisions in my life that have put me in a place where I'm healthier than I've ever been.” said host Curt Mercadante in today’s episode.

Some of the unhealthiest people on the world make fun of people who are following healthy lifestyles.

Just as some of the most unsuccessful people in the world make fun of people with wealth and abundance.

Both cases are a result of the “Scarcity Mindset”, which Curt examines in today’s episode.

"Do you think there's any truth to the coronavirus being created by the Chinese?"

That's the question Curt Mercadante asks Dr. Robert Spalding, retired U.S. Air Force Brigadier General, former strategic planning director to the president for the National Security Council and China strategist for the Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He now serves as senior fellow at the Hudson Institute.

He’s also the author of the new book, “Stealth War: How China Took Over While America’s Elites Slept.”

"It's as easy to say the numbers coming out of China are true as it is to say that coronavirus was made in a laboratory, because the bottom line is, nobody knows," he tells me in this episode.

So many people try to force their goals to happen, stressing and struggling and becoming their own worst enemy in the process. Instead, we should try to more like magnets -- attracting abundance, prosperity and the lives we desire.

Before he was a successful venture capitalist/angel investor, John Osborne left his job at a bank to find fulfillment. He bummed around Europe with a backpack, sometimes sleeping on park benches. Through that experience, he learned an important lesson that Curt discusses in today’s episode.

Has America developed an entitlement mentality? Are other democracies following suit?  If so, how does it threaten our free enterprise system and the very future of the country? How does this contrast with countries, such as those in eastern Europe, which have recently cast aside totalitarianism?

In today’s episode, Curt discusses the prevalance of “struggle porn” -- societal programming that glorifies the struggle and would have you believe that struggle is a necessary prerequisite to becoming successful.

Are we programmed to be poor and possess a scarcity mindset?

In a free market, competition is good -- to a point. True world changers, such as Steve Jobs or Elon Musk, don’t compete with others. They’re in a class all by themselves. True innovators strive to build things that have never been built before.

In today’s episode, Curt tackles scarcity head-on, calling out a mindset that thinks it’s bad to be wealthy and, in the words of one social media commenter, “unreasonable” to have a billion dollars “even if you worked like crazy for it.”
