Tom Bilyeu and Producer Drew jump straight into the breaking news of the US signing a critical minerals deal with Ukraine, dissecting the motivations behind this strategic move and its potential to reshape the global power dynamic amidst ongoing war with Russia.

The episode then shifts focus to the volatile US economy, exploring the reality behind the recent economic contraction, the intricacies of trade deficits, and the initial ripple effects caused by new tariffs. Drawing from real-time data and personal insight, Tom and Drew provide context on how these changes may impact Main Street businesses, American allies, and the emerging trade chess game involving China and Canada.

Introducing Fasting for the Soul from How God Works: The Science Behind Spirituality.

Follow the show: How God Works: The Science Behind Spirituality

Many would agree there are few things better than sharing a delicious meal with the people you love, which is one reason why breaking bread together is a cornerstone of religions the world over. But so too is the opposite - going without food.  From Ramadan to Yom Kippur to Lent, fasting is an important ritual in many faiths. But why do so many religions periodically take away the very thing that nourishes our bodies and souls?  

On this episode we'll talk with Khalil-Abdur Rashid about the role fasting plays in Islam, and why not eating and drinking is actually the easy part.  And we'll talk to Adam Cohen about some new research that suggests even one day of fasting could help deepen religious commitment and overall well being.

Imam Dr. Khalil Abdur-Rashid is the first full-time University Muslim Chaplain at Harvard University, Instructor of Muslim Studies at Harvard Divinity School, and Public Policy Lecturer at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government.

Adam Cohen is a Professor of Psychology at Arizona State University. Learn more about his research here.

Introducing 54. What If High Blood Pressure Is Slowly Killing You? from Extend Podcast with Darshan Shah, MD.

Follow the show: Extend Podcast with Darshan Shah, MD

In today’s episode of Extend, we’re tackling a crucial health issue: high blood pressure. Often called the "silent killer," high blood pressure increases your risk for heart attacks, strokes, kidney disease, and more. But what if you could prevent these risks before they escalate?

I’ll break down why measuring your blood pressure at home is far more effective than relying on a single doctor’s visit. You’ll also learn about the SPRINT trial and why keeping your blood pressure at 120/70 can significantly improve long-term health.

We’ll explore practical steps to manage high blood pressure, including improving your sleep, reducing stress, optimizing metabolic health, and incorporating strength training. Plus, I’ll discuss how new medications and emerging technologies like continuous blood pressure monitoring are transforming care.

This episode is all about prevention and early intervention—two key elements to living a longer, healthier life. If you’ve been ignoring your blood pressure, now’s the time to take control. Tune in!

I Also Discuss:

• Understanding High Blood Pressure As A Silent Killer

• The Importance Of At-home Blood Pressure Monitoring

• How The Sprint Trial Revolutionized Blood Pressure Management

• Effective Lifestyle Changes To Control High Blood Pressure

Tom Bilyeu and co-host Drew tackle the first 100 days of the Trump presidency—an era marked by volatility and shifting world dynamics. With signature candor and sharp analysis, Tom unpacks the ripple effects of global power plays: the destabilization of the post-WWII order, the mounting US-China economic standoff, and Ray Dalio’s stark warning that massive change is inevitable. Alongside Drew, Tom interrogates the headlines, from the unpredictability of Trump’s style to China’s unwavering claims it can outlast American economic pain.

This episode lays the intellectual groundwork for understanding our new, unstable world order—why economic and political models are breaking down, how tariffs and non-trade barriers play into global negotiations, and what lessons from history can help us decode what’s coming. If you want to gain clarity in these chaotic times and learn how to build a mindset for predicting (rather than reacting to) future disruption, this conversation is essential listening.

Introducing Episode 22: The Art of Buying and Selling Businesses: Strategies for Success from Sterling Insights.

Follow the show: Sterling Insights

The Art of Buying and Selling Businesses: Strategies for Success

Welcome to Episode 22 of Sterling Insights:  Sterling Insights: Stand Out & Supercharge Your Assets, hosted by Roger Silk.  In this episode, Roger sits down with Richard Parker and discusses Richard’s successful program on buying and selling businesses.

Richard Parker has spent over 30 years helping people turn their dream of business ownership into reality. His renowned program, How To Buy A Good Business At A Great Price, has sold over 100,000 copies across more than 80 countries.

Richard was also a partner with Ray Dalio and the Dalio family office for four years, where he led an investment firm specifically designed for him to mentor one of Ray’s sons in the art of acquiring businesses.

Over the years, Richard has personally acquired 13 companies—plus a co-investment—with purchase prices ranging from $50,000 to over $200 million. His insights have been featured in Forbes, The New York Times, TheStreet.com, Entrepreneur Magazine, Inc., and more, with over 200 published articles to his name.

Here are some highlights from the episode:

·         Richard stresses the value of early preparation when planning to sell a business—resolving operational issues and streamlining processes in advance. Doing so not only boosts the business's appeal to buyers but also increases the chances of a successful sale.

·         Richard advises business owners not to drain too much cash from their business but to reinvest in strong marketing and quality talent. Strategic investments like these can significantly boost the business’s value when it’s time to sell.

·         Richard encourages anyone curious about business ownership to explore the opportunity. He emphasizes that entrepreneurship is within reach for most people and recommends learning what it truly involves before making a decision.
