TAILGATING WITH GENIUSES

Ken and Martin follow Bob Keefe's suggestion and simply "follow the money". Partisanship, the economy and how American's are making more money than now (through stock investments mostly) than before. And still...we're being told things are going badly. 

We discuss the personal effect of living with boredom as a result of Hurricane Helene. Ken wrestles with the fact that the algorithms have targeted him as a Brady Bunch super fan.

If you want to uncover where sweet, sexy buckets of money are being made today, do what we did: Talk with Bob Keefe about America’s clean economy revolution. Wait. What?! When the world’s largest businesses are actively supporting and pursuing clean energy policies and working to convince elected officials to get on board, issues such as climate change and income inequality become solvable. Why? Because they’re incredible money-generating machines. Keefe, author of “Clean Economy Now,” breaks it down in language we can all understand. Wow. Just wow.

Sure, there's been a movie. And if you're fortunate, you'll have heard Aron speak and tell his story. We took our time with him to discuss not only what happened, but what it's meant to him and what the human body can endure in the most extreme conditions.

Navigating change and uncertainty in life is hard for everyone. It’s even harder when you’re not confident about who you are (see: TWG’s Tolerable Hosts). Peabody Award-winning journalist, network news anchor and reporter, Mariana Atencio came to America from Venezuela, felt uncomfortable trying to fit in, became a hugely successful journalist  and turned her story into a Ted Talk that’s been viewed more 24 million times. That’s not a mis-print. Mariana’s message and great stories speak to the glorious benefits that come from being different and that channeling authenticity unlocks human potential in ways most of us never imagined. The world has feasted on Mariana’s message and storytelling. Eat it up.

Right now, some scumbag, somewhere, is scamming you or your business – or tying to. We all know how if feels to be a victim and the futility of trying to stop it from happening again. Because it always does.  Protecting yourself and your family, protecting your business, protecting your sanity can be overwhelming because the crooks are always one stop ahead of the good guys. TWG breaks it down and simplifies personal and business protection with Theresa Payton, the first-ever woman to serve as CIO in the White House, star of CBS series “Hunted”  and one of the world’s premiere experts on cybersecurity. Scammers are going to use AI to steal from you (if they haven’t already) unless you protect yourself. They’re also trying to steal the election. Theresa tells us what to watch for and offers up some simple advice to keep the scum at bay.
