The Fourth Turning: Staying Resilient When Cycles Converge into Crisis (Part 1) – Daniel Marcos
In this week’s podcast, I’m going to bring you into a private conversation I had with one of my mentors, Daniel Marcos. The CEO of the Growth Institute, Daniel coaches businesses on an international level. As someone who comes from a professional finance and mortgage background, his experience is extensive, and today you will get to hear his take on what’s going on in the marketplace.
Listen in as we discuss the book, The Fourth Turning, and how it applies to what we’re going through in the current market cycle. Daniel will clarify some key theories about where we are and where we are heading economically as a society. He also shares what the end of this cycle is leading to, where hope actually lies, and what we can do as business owners to stay resilient and relevant in the current and future markets.

P.S. Whenever you’re ready, here are some other ways I can help fast track you to your Freedom goal (you’re closer than you think) :
In this episode, we finish up the second part of my interview with Rob Swanson and his eight rules of investing. (If you haven’t listened to part 1, be sure to go back and give that a listen before jumping into this one.) Today, we pick up where we left off, covering rules four through eight and talking about everything from decision-making to cash flow and risk reduction.
Listen in as Rob shares his incredible insight and experience in real estate and investing to give us a few rules that help make our decisions and investments more solid. You will hear about the importance of looking at margins before buying and what boxes need to be checked when it comes to predicting a solid income stream. Rob also discusses how to define and mitigate the different risks involved so that you can come out on top.
Alastair MacDonald is a private advisor to established entrepreneurs, investors, and business owners, as well as a TEDx speaker who lectures on economic, social, and financial forecasts. Join me today to hear part two of our conversation at the Freedom Founders Mastermind, where we dive into the concept of certainty, how to hedge against a volatile economy, and why the abdication model is no longer one that works.
Listen in to learn the reasons why Alastair is not worried about consumer price inflation (and what he’s really worried about instead) and why the 401(k) is not always the investment that it is made out to be. You’ll learn why he is most concerned about the issue of division and polarity in the Western world, why your business is your best asset in a volatile economy, and how you can maintain its viability to weather the most intense economic storm.
