Jason Tartick is a finance expert, bestselling author, and media personality best known as the host of Trading Secrets, one of the top business podcasts in the country. His book, The Restart Roadmap, became a go-to resource for anyone looking to take control of their money without the jargon. Before building his media career, Jason spent nearly a decade in corporate banking at one of the largest financial institutions in the world. That experience gave him a front-row seat to how money really moves, and he's turned it into a mission: closing the gap between what people are taught about personal finance and what actually works.

Mike Curb founded Curb Records as a teenager in 1963 and has run it ever since — over 60 years and 435 number one records later, it's one of the last standing independent labels in an industry that's been consolidated down to just three companies: Universal, Sony, and Warner. A Grammy-winning producer and songwriter, he built the roster that launched Tim McGraw, LeAnn Rimes, and The Judds while racking up over 1,500 Top Ten records across country, pop, and Christian music. He simultaneously served as Lieutenant Governor of California under Jerry Brown, stepping in as Acting Governor whenever Brown left the state. Every major label has tried to buy Curb Records. He's turned them all down.

In this "Lessons" episode, Dr. Eric Berg, creator of the #1 health channel on YouTube with more than 12 million subscribers, explores how metabolomics could transform the way people understand and manage their health. He explains how deeper metabolic testing can reveal what is happening inside the body in real time, why personalized nutrition may be more effective than one-size-fits-all diets, and how deficiencies and metabolic dysfunction can exist even when standard bloodwork appears normal. Dr. Berg also discusses how early warning signs for conditions such as insulin resistance, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction may be detected long before symptoms appear, offering a more preventative, root-cause approach to healthcare.

In this "Lessons" episode, Diana Furchtgott-Roth, economist and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Transportation, shares her insights on the forces driving inflation and how rising prices impact the average American. She explains how government spending, low interest rates, and supply chain constraints can fuel inflation, while breaking down why higher prices ultimately reduce purchasing power and real wages. Diana also explores the role of the Federal Reserve in controlling inflation, the impact of energy production and tariffs on prices, and how broader policy decisions around labor, commodities, and domestic production can shape the economy and help prevent a potential recession.
