The future of jobs, democracy and humanity are constantly changing and constantly being threatened with the rise of technology.

We may have unintentionally swung the pendulum on women’s rights and equality in a way that is creating unforeseen consequences for men and boys. We’re talking about male inequality and sorting through some of the biggest contributing factors affecting fathers, sons, husbands, and boyfriends. The mounting data is telling a story of women being able to live well without the need for men and in the absence of a well defined male role in our modern society, men are on the decline. Males are struggling with education, agency, purpose, and seeing higher numbers of suicide.  Richard Reeves joins Tom Bilyeu to highlight some key points that we as a society must take into consideration as we decide how to move forward. Richard was named one of the top 50 thinkers in the US for his work on class and inequality. He’s also the author of the book, Of Boys and Men. Disturbing factors Richard is underlining in this conversation includes: Women no longer need marriage to survive and marriage is proving to be more important

The banking crisis we’re experiencing has us at a tipping point we can’t ignore. Hopefully it's causing you to be more thoughtful about money, what it really is, how it works, and how you can better leverage it. The banking system is set up in a way that encourages hyperinflation and incentivizes more debt and investment strategies as a hedge against inflation.
