When we talk about the issues facing our cities—violence, inequality, broken trust—we often miss the root cause: the breakdown of the family.

Adam B. Coleman, founder of Wrong Speak Publishing, co-founder of the THIRST Network, author, and public speaker, joins Jim Iuorio and Bob Iaccino on Futures Edge to unpack how fatherlessness, fractured homes, and shifting cultural values are quietly unraveling society.

They explore the generational impact of family instability, the emotional and economic toll of separation, and the hidden ways trauma shapes relationships. From confidence in young women to the role of faith in restoring stability, this conversation challenges the narratives that normalize dysfunction—and offers a path to healing through personal, spiritual, and societal accountability.

More than a diagnosis, it’s a call to rebuild what truly matters: healthy families, strong foundations, and love that lasts.

What if health and disease aren’t what we’ve been taught to believe?

In this episode of Futures Edge: Finance Unfiltered, host Bobby Iaccino along with Kevin “Lex” Luthringshausen engage with Dr. Tom Cowan,  a former physician who challenges conventional medical beliefs. Dr. Cowan shares why he chose to step away from the traditional medical system and how his perspective on illness, viruses, and immunity has evolved. He introduces the idea that many common symptoms may actually be signs of the body healing itself—not signals of disease—and invites listeners to explore a deeper understanding of how environment, lifestyle, and nutrition impact well-being.

From discussing the role of toxins in modern life to reevaluating our beliefs about immunity and vaccines, this episode encourages critical thinking, scientific inquiry, and personal agency in health decisions. Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or somewhere in between, Dr. Cowan’s perspective offers a compelling lens on what it means to live well in today’s world.
