The Night Watch

We have all been through a lot lately. Global markets crashing, retirement funds evaporating, iconic stocks reaching all-time lows, and ultimately savings running out, and debt running up.

Many of us work with financial advisors or stockbrokers, which is the topic of this episode. Throughout this recent market chaos, have you found them to be helpful, providing meaningful guidance and support, or are they simply sitting on the sidelines collecting fees and telling you to do nothing but ride it out? 

For those of you who are not working with professional financial advisors, how have you managed to navigate through the investment crisis? 

On a recent trip to Singapore, I experienced exceptional world-class healthcare as the Pandemic was still referred to globally as a mere Epidemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). As the global situation has deteriorated in so many countries, including America, this episode discusses the great disparity in outcomes experienced by different nations. Specifically, we focus on the fatality rates being so high in some countries, and so low in others, with the hope of those who are struggling, collaborating with those who are ahead of the curve.

As headlines make their way in and out of the news, regarding the adverse effects of ongoing long term brain injuries, this episode discusses the reality of TBI from the inside. As often suffered by MMA practitioners, Boxers, Football Players, Military Personnel, and many others, brain injuries are far more common than we may realize.

As many entrepreneurial-minded people consider starting a new business or expanding a current operation, it is important to evaluate the ups and downs of franchising versus being completely independent. It is also helpful to consider the wisdom of launching post-pandemic, or waiting until a future time once full normalcy resumes.

Fake News has become a phrase used by uninformed naysayers globally, in response to anything they disagree with, or that does not fit into their "world view" of how things are. While Fake News certainly does exist, when media or others make materially false claims which are factually inaccurate, the phrase has been adopted as a means of censoring and rebuking anything and everything that anyone disagrees with.

As a result of the widespread misuse of the term, across all social media and broadcasting platforms, The Night Watch has taken on the cause. We are officially embracing the phrase "Fake Fake News" and promoting the hashtag #FakeFakeNews which refers to the false FAKE NEWS claims made so frequently.

A simple reply "Fake Fake News" (with or without hashtag) may be used to rebuke the FAKE Fake News naysayers, specifically those who call news, opinion, insights, and/or observations fake without taking the time to personally and directly investigate, research, or even spend reasonable time exploring the topic in question.

As global inquiries are raised by world leaders, and allegations continue to escalate that COVID-19 leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, in the Wuchang District of Wuhan, Hubei, China, it is time to reflect on potential consequences if this leak is determined to be accurate.

The Wuhan Institute of Virology, just miles from the infamous wet market where the Novel Coronavirus is said to have begun, is perhaps the true ground zero for the Global Pandemic. This discussion reflects on the profound implications if COVID-19 is determined to be a product of the Virus Factory. 

It is quite perplexing to find empty top tier COVID-19 hospitals, staffed with geared up medical professionals waiting patiently outside screening tents and check-in counters, with no lines, and empty parking lots. How can this be?

A moment of peace and normalcy as a popular coffee chain opens briefly inside a COVID-19 Pandemic quarantine zone. Unexpected and much appreciated, a coffee lovers dream come true! Presented live by roadside broadcast.
