In this episode of Opposing Views, I was joined by Peter Schiff and Robert Breedlove to discuss Bitcoin. We covered a range of topics like decentralization, the US dollar, and the risks involved with cryptocurrencies becoming increasingly popular. Both guests gave their opinion on whether Bitcoin is better than gold as a value standard - a prickly question because you have to consider, among other things, market forces, security, scarcity, inflation, and the potential for a new financial crisis.
In this episode, I spoke with men's style coach Tanner Guzy. With the focus on male fashion shifting dramatically over the last few decades, Tanner thinks a lot of men need a sense of direction, and that finding a style of one’s own is an essential part of self-expression. In Tanner’s words, there’s a need for “aesthetic literacy” that isn’t quite being fulfilled.
This is another opposing views episode where I speak with two people who have opposing views on contentious subjects. This is my favourite format of episode and one I’ll be focusing on. In this episode, I spoke with Dan Gross and Dr. John R. Lott about gun control in America.
In this episode, I spoke with bestselling author Robert Greene. It was intense. He walked me through the nine seduction types in his book and gave examples of each. He spoke about common manipulation techniques, how using his laws of power aren’t always manipulative, the ruthless power structures in Hollywood, tips on being vulnerable, and his new book, “The Daily Laws
In this episode, Mikhaila hosts Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Africa Brooke. Africa shares her experience with writing her viral article. She offers some insight on how to be conscious of one's actions and finding their authentic voice. In addition to discussing wokeness, they also delve into politics in connection to religion, in-group preference, and accepting other perspectives. Check out how Africa was influenced by Dr. Peterson in this episode.
In this episode, Mikhaila hosts Yannis Pappas who shares his experience of getting shot, quitting comedy to recover, and returning. The two discuss surviving COVID, personality traits, PTSD, panic attacks from serious trauma, and this rapidly changing world. After Yannis shares his daily routine pre and post COVID, he provides advice to young comics.
You are in for a treat in this episode as the founder of Freedom Toons joins me. After Seamus Coughlin shares his journey since high school, he also explains how his Catholic roots factored in. All that got me hyped up to share my own experience of finding God. Following that serious discussion, I have to say that it’s been a while I haven’t laughed this much. I promise you’ll get a good laugh too as you watch Coughlin impersonating Trump and the one and only Dr. Jordan. Yes, I know. Wait till you see HIS reaction too.
Dr. Ken Berry struggled with health issues and weight and medical misinformation. He’s one of the biggest doctors in the carnivore diet scene and one of the most knowledgeable. Also his last name is Berry so that’s funny. Mikhaila and Ken discussed how being a carnivore is beneficial to people, particularly sick people. After Dr. Berry shares his thoughts on the role of cholesterol in the carnivore diet, and other common concerns, Mikhaila encourages Dr. Berry to go all in and try the Lion Diet. If you have been meaning to follow a meat-based diet, listen to Dr. Berry here.
