Most Replayed Moment: Better Sleep Doesn't Always Mean Longer Sleep! Fix These Habits Today
What if getting better sleep has less to do with sleeping longer, and more to do with your daily habits? Dr. Kristen Holmes is a performance scientist whose work focuses on sleep, recovery, circadian rhythms and the everyday behaviours that influence how well our bodies and minds perform. In this moment, Dr. Kristen Holmes opens up about her childhood and the catalyst to her passion for health and human potential. She reveals the overlooked habits that can quietly disrupt recovery and answers common questions about sleep disruption. Is one glass of wine really going to impact my sleep? What about caffeine?

Konstantin Kisin’s WARNING: Our Leaders Have Lost Control, We’re Headed For Conflict And Violence!
Is the West collapsing, or is the planet? Political commentator Konstantin Kisin and rebel economist Steve Keen go head-to-head on the biggest questions facing the West: immigration, the debt crisis, climate change, Trump, China and the future of AI. Konstantin Kisin is a satirist, social commentator and author, best known as the co-host of the Triggernometry podcast and the author of ‘An Immigrant’s Love Letter to the West’. Born in the Soviet Union and now based in Britain, he has become one of the most prominent voices on free speech, culture and the rise of populism. Steve Keen is an economist, author and one of the most vocal critics of mainstream economic thinking. A former Professor of Economics, he is the author of several books including ‘Debunking Economics’ and ‘The New Economics: A Manifesto’, and is currently writing his upcoming book ‘How Economists Will Destroy Capitalism’. He is known for his work on private debt, financial crises and the failures of conventional economic models, and for correctly warning of the 2008 financial crash. They debate: ◼ Why almost everything governments tell you about debt and borrowing could be wrong ◼ Whether a socialist government could actually be good for the economy ◼ Why AI could quietly strip away human free will ◼ Why Konstantin believes mass immigration is pushing the West toward civil unrest ◼ Why Steve thinks climate change, not politics, is the real threat that dwarfs everything else Chapters 00:00:00 Intro 00:02:05 We're on the Road to Civil Unrest 00:08:04 Where This Leads: Unrest and Violence 00:11:11 I Grew Up in the Soviet Union 00:12:12 Steve Keen: Capitalism Is About to Fail 00:20:49 "We're Not Spending Enough" 00:23:58 Should Britain Drill in the North Sea? 00:28:39 "You Can't Defend Yourself Against This" 00:32:48 The World Government Admission 00:36:55 "Brace for Impact" - Climate Change Is Here 00:40:03 "It's Too Late" - What Breakdown Looks Like 00:45:11 The Trap Trump Walked Into 00:48:49 The Famine He Says Is Coming 00:50:53 How Does Trump Get Out of This? 00:53:35 Does America Need a Socialist President? 00:55:37 Why China Works and the Soviet Union Didn't 01:01:10 "Would You Prefer the Chinese System?" — "Yes" 01:05:09 Will Andy Burnham Change Britain's Trajectory? 01:11:00 Wokeism: A Hierarchy of Oppression 01:13:30 AI, Mass Unemployment and The Hunger Games 01:17:21 Best Case a Pet, Worst Case a Cow 01:20:54 Can You Program Love Into an AI? 01:26:07 Nobody Can Stop It So How Do You Live?

Secretary Pete Buttigieg: The American Dream Is DEAD. We're Running Out Of Time To Fix It!
Former US Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg says the American experiment is on the brink. He argues that the country is at risk of losing its democracy, the problems Americans feel every day are not accidents, and that fixing it will mean doing the hard things almost no one wants to do. Pete Buttigieg is the former United States Secretary of Transportation, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, a Rhodes Scholar, and a Navy veteran who served in Afghanistan. He ran for president in 2020 and is now widely regarded as one of the frontrunners for the Democratic nomination for President in 2028. Out of office for the first time in years, he speaks with unusual candour about power, war, the economy, and where America goes next. He explains: ◼ Why he believes American democracy is genuinely on the brink, and what it would actually take to save it ◼ The real story behind the strike on Iran and the "ceasefire" that wasn't ◼ Why a billionaire can pay a lower tax rate than a teacher or a firefighter, and whether a wealth tax is the answer ◼ How AI is about to disrupt not just jobs but people's identities, and who he thinks should share in the gains ◼ What he says the administration really hid about the American troops who died The views expressed are those of the guest, and this conversation is intended for general informational purposes only.

Vitamin D Expert: The Supplement World Is Giving The WRONG Advice!
Nearly 1 in 3 American adults now take vitamin D, but Dr. Stasha Gominak says many of them are taking it wrong, and that done carelessly, supplementing can leave you worse off than before. Dr. Stasha Gominak practiced neurology for over 20 years. She earned her MD from Baylor College of Medicine and completed her neurology residency at the Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital. After working with her own patients, she believes that nearly everyone struggling to sleep shares the same hidden deficiency, a conclusion she published in 2 papers and built into RightSleep, the method she now teaches full time. She explains: ◼ Why she believes your skin is the best producer of vitamin D, and why she says no amount of pills or salmon can replace it ◼ Why she believes insomnia isn't a behavior problem but a chemical deficiency, and what she thinks changed when we moved indoors ◼ The role she says your gut bacteria play in producing your B vitamins ◼ Why she believes taking vitamin D on its own can burn through your B vitamins, and what she says happened when she tried it herself ◼ Why she connects the rise in conditions like ADHD, depression, fatty liver and diabetes to the same period, and what she thinks links them ◼ Why she considers supplements a form of biohacking, and just as risky as any drug if you get them wrong The views expressed are those of the guest, and this conversation is intended for general informational purposes only.

The Man Who Made $100M Before 32: The Secret Was To Stop Letting Them Control Me | Alex Hormozi
Every founder is being told to build an AI company. Alex Hormozi says almost all of them will be gone within months, that the best move is the exact opposite of what the market is saying, and that in a world of AI the only moat left will be reality and your reputation. Alex Hormozi is a entrepreneur, investor and author. He is the co-founder of Acquisition.com, a portfolio of 16+ companies generating over $250 million a year, and the author of the $100M series: '$100M Offers', '$100M Leads' and '$100M Money Models', whose 2025 launch sold 2.9 million copies in a single day and broke the Guinness World Record for the fastest-selling non-fiction book in history. He explains: ◼ Why the practical businesses, like plumbing, are the real opportunity, not the ones built on top of AI models ◼ Why delegating your hardest thinking to a machine makes you weak ◼ Why reality and reputation are the only moats AI can't erode ◼ Why revenue retention matters more than marketing or sales ◼ Why marrying his wife Leila was the best financial decision he ever made, and how the right partner changes your odds ◼ He opens up about one of the hardest years of his life, in the same year he made more money than ever The views expressed are those of the guest, and this conversation is intended for general informational purposes only.
