The Trend is Your Friend

Poll his followers about speech freedom? Check. Buy massive stake in the company? Check. Get a seat on the BOD? Check. This ain't about an edit button. Roughly 24 hours after disclosing that he has largest owner of Twitter stock, Elon Musk now as a seat at the table by joining the board of directors. And it’s still just Tuesday. Will it work? I don’t know. We’ll find out. But I’m not viewing Elon’s actions regarding Twitter with a cynical view. I’m hopeful this is a turning point. I jumped on the mic for a new episode of the Trend is Your Friend to dive a little deeper on what all of this could mean. Check it out!

This week I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dom Deshawn. Dom is an up and coming Hip-Hop artist from Columbus, Ohio. After quitting a job that wasn't fulfilling, Dom Deshawn is now pursuing his dream as a rapper. In the pod, Dom shares his background, talks about his style, and gets into what it's like being a Web 3 pioneer for other artists. This was one of my favorite podcast episodes to date.

In this episode of The Trend is Your Friend, I detail my philosophical journey from platform user to platform builder. Why I think owning your content distribution is the best way to have a real and lasting relationship with your audience. And despite my desire to own my own platform, why I still think Flote is the best social media option to build with. Plus, an important question for those of you who don't agree with censorship but who are still engaging with the censor platforms.

Phil Denniston is the CEO of Bad Daddy Publishing. Bad Daddy publishes educational children's books that focus on financial education. He's a good friend of the podcast and he dropped in for his fourth appearance on the Trend is Your Friend. In this episode, we get Phil's take on the push to censor Joe Rogan's recent podcast episodes about COVID, the Canadian trucker convoy and Trudeau's response, Jerome Powell's ability to raise interest rates, and the place for gold and bitcoin in an investment portfolio.

And if you liked this episode, check out some of Phil's past appearances below!

And don't forget to check out Phil's new article on Peak Prosperity. It's called "Subversion of America from Within" and it's a banger. Here's a quick preview:

Like I said, it's a banger. Check it out!

On Friday night, Dr. Robert Malone and Alex Berenson appeared on Fox News at the same time to discuss censorship in mainstream media and on social media. Things took a weird turn when Berenson took the opportunity, unprovoked, to jab at Malone’s mRNA technology background and championing of Ivermectin. You can watch it here if you haven’t seen it yet.

I’m a fan of Alex but he was in the wrong in my view. In today’s episode of The Trend is Your Friend, I’ll get into why I think Berenson did what he did, why much of the reaction from his readers is justified, and also why wouldn’t shouldn’t let Malone off the hook for sneaking in an equally silly jab the following day.

Between vaccines and lockdowns, Covid-19 narratives are breaking down more and more each day thanks to the Omicron variant. With those breakdowns, we’ve seeing mainstream pundits and writers flip to team reality. My message is pretty simple with this podcast episode; don’t let them off the hook. And those who spent 2 full years on Team-Hysterical Covid Dystopia owe many of us an apology.

Hillary Clinton went on Rachel Maddow's crappy TV show to talk about cryptocurrency and how it can destabilize the USD as the world's reserve currency. I get into why that's kind of the whole point. And Rohan Grey takes a shot at Cameron Winklevoss. Not that he needs my help, but I get into why Grey and Winklevoss may define inflation differently and why no matter which definition you choose, Winklevoss is closer to being right than Grey thinks.

In this episode, I tackle the Let's Go Brandon meme and why it serves as such a clear as day microcosm of the failings of corporate media, I react to Keith Olbermann's psychotic twitter rant about the unvaccinated, and share what I'm currently up against as an unvaccinated employee in a company with a mandatory vaccination policy.

What's up! Great to be back after a 2 month break from the mic. In today's episode, I go into detail about why I think people should abandon their political affiliations. I share examples of how doing so has helped me reframe my perspective on certain individuals in a profoundly positive way. If you have found yourself losing loved ones or friends over politics, this is a good podcast to listen to and to share with those people who you're struggling to engage with. 

I've known John LaLoggia for a over a decade. We were college buddies back in the day. He and I are both millennials but we're older millennials. We've known each other long enough to remember the "poke" button on Facebook. We shared a lot of common interests at that time and it was great to reconnect with John in a one on one (kind of) setting to just have a real conversation. John recently released Sh*tty Jobs: The Guide to Surviving a Recession. When I finished it, I knew I had to get him on the show. He has a viewpoint that I think many people our age and younger can empathize with.

In this conversation, we touched on why he finally decided to write the book, how people who are in bad work situations can cope, and what the future of the employer/employee relationship should look like in a successful business. I can tell you after reading the book, I can't think of anyone else I know personally who has experienced so many awful employment environments. Oh and he's also really funny! My hope is that his comedic timing and delivery both in the book and in this podcast episode can really help readers and listeners keep things in perspective even if they're struggling during tough times.

Don't forget, you can check out John and buy his book by following this link to his website.
