06 Apr 2026
00:20:40
Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley break down how Middle East tensions are impacting markets. They review the S&P 500 futures, energy sector breakout then stall, and gold and silver forming double tops while now tracking stocks. Dave bets the bottom isn't in and calls for lower lows next week. They cover the week ahead including the Iran deadline, CPI, and share hedging strategies for volatility.

You Don't Need a Degree to Build a Real Business Career
06 Apr 2026
00:17:17
Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave “DC” Conley speak with James Klein about entrepreneurship without a degree. He shares leaving at 19 when his father had cancer and discovering he couldn't be an employee. Klein explains trusting gut instincts on the rollercoaster and supporting his kid through Canadian medical school. He breaks down the K-shaped economy, why working capital is everything for inventory and growth, and how real entrepreneurs differ from hobbyists. His entire consulting practice runs on referrals only. Timestamps:
(00:00) 45 years of entrepreneurship started by dropping out when his father got cancer
(01:14) He knew early he had zero disposition to ever work as an employee for someone else
(03:02) Gut instinct has saved him more times than any business plan on the rollercoaster
(03:54) Proudly funding medical school while acknowledging both education paths have value
(06:10) K-shaped economy rewards those with capital and punishes everyone else
(07:46) Working capital prevents stockouts and funds the ad spend that actually scales
(10:24) Too many call themselves entrepreneurs when they are really just hobbyists

Episode 3: Segment 2 - Recession and AIVersion A – Best Practices
Title: Recession Warning and AI Reality Check with James Klein (Full) SEO Summary: James Klein predicts a late-1970s style recession in 3-6 months and separates AI hype from actual business applications. Summary: Jerremy and Dave talk with James Klein, who says the economy looks 3–6 months from a late-1970s style recession driven by high oil prices, inflation, interest rates and job losses. He recalls historical gas lines and double-digit rates. Klein says AI works for repetitive tasks and data mining but often produces garbage without strong prompts and can concentrate power in monopolies. They discuss trades as an alternative and the need for workers to earn enough to live with dignity. Timestamps:

Half of New Grads Underemployed – Is the American Playbook Dead? (Full)
02 Apr 2026
00:56:49
The old American playbook is breaking. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley interview Spencer Conley, a Big Four consulting manager, about why the traditional path of degree, hard work and stability no longer delivers. Half of new grads are underemployed while AI rapidly reprices desk jobs. Spencer chose a small liberal arts college to graduate nearly debt-free, then moved from presidential campaign and DOD contractor roles into consulting for variety and higher pay. Most peers carry heavy student debt that limits options. They cover AI deployments in documents, coding and customer experience, efficiency versus headcount questions, blockchain comparison, future workforce shifts, and advice on learning AI, staying flexible, investing and building people skills.

Will AI Make Trade Schools the New Path for Young Americans?
01 Apr 2026
00:22:19
Jerremy Alexander Newsome asks Spencer and Dave to forecast how AI will reshape America’s workforce over the next 25 years. Spencer predicts corporate slides and analytics done by AI, pushing young workers toward trade schools and hands-on skilled trades. Healthcare becomes more efficient and potentially cheaper. Dave says the U.S. lacks coordinated workforce planning like Denmark, Germany, Singapore, and Japan. Younger workers feel uncertain while older ones fear being boxed out. Spencer urges learning AI and its drawbacks without overcommitting. The old American deal broke due to expensive debt-financed degrees and unaffordable housing. Invest, avoid crushing debt, build people skills and real-world connections.
Timestamps:
(00:14) AI will automate corporate slides and analytics over the next 25 years – Spencer predicts this pushes more young workers into trade schools and hands-on skilled trades while making healthcare efficient and cheaper
(04:21) U.S. has zero coordinated industry-academia-government workforce planning – unlike Denmark, Germany, Singapore, and Japan, leaving younger workers uncertain and older ones fearing they’re boxed out

Is AI Efficiency Just Code for Headcount Reduction in Consulting?
31 Mar 2026
00:17:49
Corporate AI pitches sell efficiency but often mean headcount reduction. Spencer and Dave discuss how job losses to AI have already happened at large research firms through restructuring. Spencer details deployments in customer experience with AI kiosks, multi-cloud data integration to inject AI, and coding tools that spit out near-complete solutions fast. Early client quick wins include document and PDF automation for accuracy and compliance. Dave contrasts AI with blockchain, calling the latter a slow fancy spreadsheet with limited adoption while labeling AI a probabilistic non-deterministic chaos agent wired into mission-critical systems including government, creating moral and ethical risks. They debate whether AI growth drives more value or just job replacement. Spencer says younger workers reject butts in seats, use AI tools, and focus on driving value. Healthcare and professional research are heavily impacted while some sales roles grow and sustainability field scientists stay less affected.

Relief Rally or Oil Virus? Markets & War Signals (Full)
30 Mar 2026
00:27:33
Jerremy and Dave break down a wild market open as Q1 2026 closes. Tech, oil, and metals are up, but the VIX sits above 30. They see it as a relief rally fueled by escalating tensions in the Middle East, with Trump’s threat on the strait pushing oil higher. They won’t buy “war is over” talk without real signals from Iran. Jerremy maps it to past March selloffs and calls for SPY to test 650 before sliding toward 610–603 and bottoming mid-early April. They unpack the oil virus moving from Asia to Europe and the U.S., how higher oil feeds inflation, and where the real trading setups sit. Plus a grounded look at AI limits, job shifts, and home robots.
Timestamps:
(00:00) Intro & Market Overview – volatile start with tech, oil, and metals rising as VIX closes above 30

Why Half of New Grads Are Underemployed After Following All the Rules
30 Mar 2026
00:17:27
The traditional American playbook is breaking. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley explain how school, credentials, and work no longer deliver as half of new grads end up underemployed, AI reprices desk jobs, and first-year pay lands closer to $35,000. Guest Spencer Conley got the deal he was promised through non-conventional choices. He attended a small liberal arts college on a strong financial deal and graduated nearly debt free. He shares early work in a presidential campaign and DOD consulting, contrasting contractor responsibility with government protections. Most of his peers carry heavy student debt limiting their options. This episode sets up how AI is changing hiring and job value.
Timestamps:
(00:00) Half of new grads are underemployed with AI repricing desk jobs and starting pay near $35k – Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley say the school-credentials-work playbook is broken
(01:27) Spencer Conley took an unconventional path at a small liberal arts college with a strong financial deal and graduated nearly debt-free – he still got the outcomes the old system promised
(04:36) Early presidential campaign work and DOD consulting showed contractor responsibility beats government employee protections – Spencer contrasts the two paths
(07:48) Consulting in AI, sustainability, and economic development – Spencer explains his current role as a manager
(09:43) Skills matter more than degrees in today's market – the shift happening now
(11:40) Student debt limits life options for most peers – the college debt trap in action
Current Events: Why Does Tokyo Have Zero Homeless People While Iran Wages $100 Oil Economic War?
23 Mar 2026
00:46:59
Japan shows a different standard. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley discuss his trip to Tokyo where he saw zero homeless people, fewer than five overweight individuals, spotless streets, and cheap food. They link it to cultural pride – Japanese people are “too proud to be homeless” – and contrast with Las Vegas. Then they turn to Iran: the U.S. and Israel aren't controlling escalation as Iran runs an economic war markets may be underpricing. With oil near $100 feeding inflation via gas and diesel, they review the S&P 500 peak at 7002 and 7% drop, Dave's call for more downside then a bottom, and a best-case peace scenario sparking asset-bubble growth.
Timestamps:
(05:02) Jerremy saw zero homeless in Tokyo's 40 million – clean streets, unusually cheap food, and fewer than five overweight people observed
(06:58) Japanese are too proud to be homeless – top-down integrity creates pristine cities unlike littered Las Vegas
(17:41) Iran wages economic war through oil – U.S. and Israel lack escalation control as markets underprice the threat
(22:57) S&P 500 peaked near 7002 then dropped 7% – Dave predicts further downside before sidelined money returns for a bottom
(26:18) Oil near $100 drives gas and diesel inflation – real economic pain from Iran's strategy
(28:40) Best-case peace unlocks more supply – possibly Russia creating asset-bubble surge despite sticky inflation
(31:21) Trump posts swing markets wildly – political risks and escalation forecast remain high
Go to school, get a degree, get a job, build a life — that contract expired and nobody sent the memo. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley trace the wreckage: a 16-year-old who can't get hired at Wendy's, a retirement vehicle that was really just a tax code loophole, and an AI wave aimed squarely at people who thought sitting behind a laptop meant safety. The World Economic Forum says 78 million net jobs by 2030. Jerremy and Dave aren't buying it. America needs a new deal. Nobody's writing it.
Timestamps:
(00:00) The deal was school → degree → job → life — it's already dead – and no one sent the memo
(01:56) College is vanilla ice cream – fine, not worth the price, and definitely not the only flavor
(03:34) "Send everyone to trades" is the new "learn to code" – sounds great until you pressure-test it
(06:17) Dave's buddy builds pinball machines and laughs at AI – people who move atoms, not electrons, sleep fine
(14:33) Jerremy's 16-year-old can't get hired at Wendy's – if entry-level is closed, where does the pipeline start
(16:39) Dave had 200 credit hours and zero degrees – a buddy called him qualified for "stupid" and that became AOL
(22:42) Every party starts with "what do you do?" – Americans live to work while Europe works to live
(27:05) No one talks about their job on their deathbed – legacy beats title every single time
(28:17) AI won't create an economic crisis — it'll create an identity crisis – the laptop class gets hit first
(44:31) 81% of workers fear losing their job in 2025 – the Great Stay is really the Great Trap
(49:59) The average 401k is $97,369 – a tax loophole dressed as retirement that was never meant for you
(58:22) $145M in apprenticeship funding got zeroed out – the headlines land but the money doesn't
(1:13:05) America is entering 2030 without a replacement deal – and nobody's writing one
$145M in Apprenticeship Funding Got Zeroed Out — Now What?
13 Mar 2026
00:18:18
The Department of Labor had $145 million earmarked for apprenticeships in shipbuilding, semiconductors, and healthcare. Then it got zeroed out. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley close the Work In Progress opener by pulling apart the distance between what Washington announces and what actually lands. Workforce training budgets are shrinking. Skilled trades can't find workers. Immigration enforcement cut the pipeline further. Meanwhile, every country doing this well — Denmark, Germany, Singapore, Japan — shares costs across government, employers, and individuals. America's version? Figure it out yourself. The old contract is dead. AI is the accelerant. No one's writing the replacement.
Timestamps:
(00:19) $145M for apprenticeships — zeroed out before a single worker got trained – headlines land but funding doesn't
(00:19) Workforce training authority dropped from $3.9B to $3B – the budget is shrinking while the need is exploding
(00:19) Pell Grants for eight-week programs start July 2026 – sounds great until you ask who's paying for it
(15:02) AI didn't break the contract — it expired on its own – school, degree, job, house stopped delivering years ago
(15:02) Denmark shares the risk three ways — America dumps it on the worker – that's the one structural difference no one wants to adopt
Eighty-one percent of workers fear losing their jobs in 2025 — and most of them can't afford to quit anyway. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley call the Great Stay what it is: a debt trap dressed as job stability. Then they crack open the retirement system. The 401(k) was never designed for you — it's section 401(k) of the tax code, a corporate cost-saving accident that got rebranded as a future. Only 15% of workers still have a real pension. Dave's late wife had one — it paid out pennies on the dollar. Average 401(k) balance: $97,369. Unfunded liabilities: $145 trillion. Nobody's asking how we pay for any of it.
Timestamps:
(00:00) 78 million new AI jobs by 2030 — and neither host believes it – the lived reality is kiosks replacing waitstaff and tax prep going fully automated
(00:00) 81% of workers fear losing their job but can't afford to leave – the Great Stay is a debt trap, not loyalty
(05:44) The 401(k) is literally a tax code section, not a retirement plan – corporate America off-loaded the risk and called it empowerment
(05:44) Dave's late wife had a real pension — it paid out $15,000 – that's what a "defined benefit" is actually worth when you collect
A buddy told Dave he was qualified for "stupid" — that's how he got hired at AOL with 200 college credits and nothing to show for it. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley skip the inspirational playbook and get blunt: showing your feet on Instagram is not a career, professional athlete is not a plan, and your gap year needs a deadline. Then the real edge: Americans are trapped in a cycle where income equals identity, work equals endurance, and nobody on their deathbed says they wish they'd logged more hours. AI is about to torch the middle class. The post-abundance world might free us — if the right people write the rules.
Timestamps:
(00:28) Dave had 200 credits and no degree — a buddy called him qualified for "stupid" – that's how careers actually start
(06:30) Every party opens with "what do you do?" – Americans live to work while Europe works to live
(10:53) Your legacy is not your LinkedIn headline – love, family, and what you built are the only things that survive
(12:06) AI won't just take jobs — it'll erase the identity people built around them – the middle class gets hit first
The deal was always simple: school, degree, stable job, good life. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley launch their Work In Progress series by asking what happens when that pipeline stops delivering. College is outdated and overpriced, trades aren't the universal fix everyone claims, and entry-level hiring is quietly seizing up. People in their circles feel fine — but Jerremy's 16-year-old son can't land a fast-food gig. The hosts press listeners to get close to revenue-generating work before AI finishes the job.
Timestamps:
(00:00) New series launch – the old American deal and why it no longer holds
(01:56) College revisited – "okay" but unaffordable and stuck in a one-lane model
(03:34) Trades aren't the fix – gig economy gaps and a broken pipeline
(06:17) Who feels secure – current workers are fine but new hiring is freezing
(14:33) Gig work stigma – freelancer vs. gig worker and why the label matters
Trigger Warning: What Did We Learn About Guns? (Full)
05 Mar 2026
00:50:14
erremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley close out the Trigger Warning series with a full recap of what four guests taught them about guns in America. 44,000 gun deaths a year. 62% are suicides — disproportionately lonely rural veterans. The rest is mostly young men killing each other in concentrated zones. Richie and Josiah brought the moral framework. Stephen Orr mapped the three-trigger progression. Marie Newman followed the money. Parisa proved $500 million could harden every school. The throughline: this is a crisis of men, not a crisis of guns. And the system profits from leaving it unsolved.
Timestamps:
(00:00) Welcome and series recap – wrapping the Trigger Warning arc on guns in America
(01:12) Gun violence as a human rights issue – why this isn't really about gun rights
(03:58) The data: 44,000 deaths, 62% suicides – lonely rural veterans are the hidden majority
(06:25) A gun is a tool, a brick is a brick – you build a church or break a window
(07:55) Richie & Josiah: moral framework – two problems conflated into one bad debate
(10:24) Fatherlessness and boys in crisis – the systemic root nobody wants to name
(12:32) Stephen Orr's three-trigger progression – humiliation, loss of identity, rejection

(16:51) Marie Newman: follow the money – unsolved problems stay unsolved because it pays better
(24:14) Parisa: harden the schools – $500 million covers every school in America
(30:44) Curiosity and the love of the sea – information is free, motivation isn't
(38:10) Where Jerremy and Dave disagree – marginal laws, red flags, and criminal compliance
(42:26) Check-ins over seizures – a pro-human approach to guns and crisis
(46:37) Purpose not pills – 50 zip codes, $50 million, community intervention
(49:08) Wrap-up – what the series landed on and what's next
Harden Schools, Fix Education, Put Purpose Before Pills
04 Mar 2026
00:26:10
Stronger doors, working locks, bulletproof glass — $500 million could make every American school safe. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley break down why that hasn't happened, then pivot to a harder problem: schools that don't teach. Miami-Dade has buildings at roughly 30% occupancy turning out graduates who can't read, and political resistance blocks every attempt to fix it. They debate where they disagree — check-ins, legislation, enforcement — and land on a throughline: purpose, not pills. Community intervention in the 50 zip codes where violence concentrates, mental health infrastructure, and giving broken men a reason to stay alive.
Timestamps:
(00:00) Locks, learning, and the way forward – the full episode roadmap
(04:12) Education crisis: Miami-Dade and beyond – ~30% occupancy, low proficiency, zero accountability
(06:39) Curiosity, teaching, and the love of the sea – why information access alone isn't the answer
(14:05) Where they disagree – Jerremy and Dave split on enforcement and legislation
(18:21) Pro-human gun safety – check-ins, kindness, and keeping people connected
(22:32) Purpose not pills – community intervention in the 50 worst zip codes
(25:03) Wrap-up and call to action – where the series lands
44,000 Americans die by guns every year. 62% are suicides — disproportionately lonely rural veterans. The rest is mostly young men killing each other in concentrated pockets of violence. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley recap their full guns-in-America series with guests Richie, Josiah, Stephen Orr, former Congresswoman Marie Newman, and Parisa. The throughline: this isn't a gun problem. It's a broken-men problem, a fatherlessness problem, and a campaign finance problem that rewards doing nothing. The data points somewhere nobody in Washington wants to look.
Timestamps:
(00:00) The data, the crisis, the money – 44,000 gun deaths, 62% suicides, and why nothing changes
(01:12) Gun violence as a human rights issue – reframing the debate beyond gun control

Do Algorithms Keep Us Crazy While Schools Lack Basic Locks? (Full)
26 Feb 2026
00:55:24
Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley talk school safety with Paresa Noble. Dave, who helped build early social media in the late 1990s, says algorithms amplify division by keeping people crazy. He argues for the gray middle: model positivity and see constant connectivity as a generational issue kids may later view as crazy. Paresa explains Shield Our Schools unites people by seeking info from multiple angles. Most want the same things. Uvalde and media finger-pointing led her to practical entry-delay measures like upgraded locks and ballistic window film, plus mental health.

School Safety Is Low Hanging Fruit – Why Aren't We Picking It? (Part 1)
23 Feb 2026
00:20:12
Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley sit with Paresa Noble on practical school safety as low hanging fruit. Dave shares insights on algorithms and the gray middle. Paresa describes how Uvalde led to Shield Our Schools and practical entry-delay measures. They break down costs, common security moves, controversial products, under-resourced schools, engaging school boards, overcoming resistance, and mental health as root cause.
Timestamps:
(00:00) School safety is low hanging fruit – easy wins both sides can support
(01:57) Protecting schools costs real money – but far less than the alternative
(04:34) Common security moves start with honest assessment – why most schools skip them
(08:08) Controversial security products need scrutiny – hype versus actual results
(09:33) Under-resourced schools face the biggest safety gaps – funding exposes inequality
(12:44) Engaging school boards works when you bring facts – local change is possible
(15:27) Olive branch overcomes resistance – empathy beats arguments every time
(18:26) Mental health is the real root cause – locks alone won't fix it
Current Events: Middle East War Buildup and Epstein Elite Ties (Full)
20 Feb 2026
01:00:51
Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley talk from Reno Airport about rising global tensions and the largest U.S. military buildup in the Middle East in 30 years. They call it a war of choice connected to oil, defense stocks, and political failure. They move to the Epstein network, urging financial and legal consequences for elite associations. They also address glyphosate production, illicit money flows, predictive markets as gambling, national debt, and why human connection counts in an AI-driven economy.
Timestamps:
(00:00) Hosts record live from Reno Airport – current events kick off amid global tensions
(00:19) The largest U.S. military buildup in the Middle East in 30 years – another war of choice connected to oil, defense stocks and political failure
