Today's Dropping Bombs episode features Michael Sanciprian. He cleaned gym pools as a broke teenager growing up in a gang-torn neighborhood, & today he owns World Gym International, the publicly traded fitness empire behind hundreds of locations across Asia.

Michael breaks down the "Elevator Effect," his mindset system for refusing to settle on the wrong floor in life. He explains the war board he keeps in his office to crush competitors, and why he calls the customer-is-always-right rule the biggest lie in business. He also gets into how he kept his gyms open through Covid while everyone else shut down.

Money was never the scorecard for Michael — winning was. This episode is proof that the people who refuse to settle are the ones who end up owning the whole board.

"Nobody talks about the $80 billion the government still owes small businesses."

Today's Dropping Bombs episode delivers a wake-up call with Trevor Hall, the CPA and Certified Fraud Examiner who's spent two decades untangling the tax code — and now leads the charge helping businesses claim tariff refunds most don't even know they're owed.

Trevor breaks down the three-phase refund process and the 180-day clock most business owners don't realize is ticking. He exposes the six-figure filing mistakes he's personally caught before they cost real companies real money. Plus, he reveals the little-known buyout option that pays out 70–95% of your refund upfront, no strings attached.

The government is sitting on billions it's legally required to hand back — and banking on the fact that most people never find out. This episode pulls back the curtain on exactly how that game works.

Dropping Bombs delivers its most anticipated return yet with Jake Claver, the SEC-registered crypto wealth manager and Chairman of Digital Ascension Group — back by overwhelming demand to double down on every call he made last time.

From the Genius Act passing to the Strait of Hormuz shutting down, Jake's predictions have been playing out in real time. Now he's raising the stakes — the reverse carry trade unwind, Satoshi's wallets moving, a BlackRock XRP ETF, and a 30–50% stock market drop in a matter of days. He breaks down DAG's new Bitcoin fund backed by Fidelity, why quantum computing is Bitcoin's silent assassin, why XRP is still his only personal holding, and why AI agents transacting 24/7 on crypto rails will blow every GDP ceiling humanity has ever known.

This conversation goes places — Epstein, AI agents, insider trading in Congress, the tokenization of the stock market, and whether the global financial reset has already been scripted.

This is the conversation most people never get access to. Don't waste it.

00:00 - Intro
07:08 - Crypto Markets Have Bottomed
10:06 - XRP Still The Big Winner
16:48 - Quantum Computing Threat to Bitcoin

Today's Dropping Bombs episode delivers a wake-up call with Gabe Shirey, the entrepreneur who turned an abandoned, rat-infested Walmart into a tuition-free charter school now serving nearly 1,000 kids — and is now turning that same intensity toward fixing something closer to home: fatherhood.

Gabe unpacks the heart attack at Disneyland that forced him to confront his own absence, the five-step framework behind his new book The Driven Dad Code, and why the window to shape your kids closes faster than any high achiever wants to admit.

No business empire, bank account, or trophy on the wall replaces being remembered as the parent who showed up. This conversation might be the most important hour you spend all year… don’t skip this one.

Today's Dropping Bombs episode features Josh Norko — a former h*roin addict who detoxed in Navy boot camp, hit rock bottom at 26, and walked out of a faith-based rehab program with nothing but a plan. That plan became Northeast Woodworks, a high-end custom cabinet shop he built from a two-car garage in Connecticut, packed up, and rebuilt from scratch in Central Oregon.

Josh and his business partner Alex Reid break down how a solo cabinet maker can clear half a million a year, why blue-collar trades are becoming the new white collar, and how they've built a growing community teaching anyone — skilled or starting from zero — to launch and grow a cabinet business through Cabinet Mastery.

Whether you're deep in addiction, stuck in a dead-end job, or just looking for a business you can build with your hands — Josh built his way out of all three. Now he's showing everyone else how.

In this no-filter interview, Brad Lea and Dan Peña (the “Trillion Dollar Man”) breaks down his brutally honest blueprint for building empires, acquiring companies, and cutting through the noise of fake gurus and financial fluff. From his $33M castle to making (and losing) multiple fortunes, Peña holds nothing back as he shares lessons from decades in oil, finance, and high-performance mentorship.

💣 This is Dan at his rawest—calling out the pussification of society, the myth of reading your way to wealth, and why cash is king (yes, he’s been 100% in cash for 18+ years).

Today's Dropping Bombs episode delivers a fighter's story with a scientist's obsession: Pat Miletich, the first-ever UFC Welterweight Champion, UFC Hall of Famer, and the coach who trained over a dozen world champions inside Miletich Fighting Systems.
Pat traces his path from a childhood spent gasping for breath to the self-made protocol that healed him in ten days, then unpacks 38 years of research linking depleted soil to America's exploding rates of chronic illness — and the four pillars he says can reverse it, starting in your own backyard.
You don't need a lab or a doctor's permission to fix what's broken in you. This episode hands you the blueprint.

Oh — and he's thinking about running for president. No big deal.

Today's Dropping Bombs episode features Austin Boyd, the Las Vegas entrepreneur who turned a $3,000 loan into a multimillion-dollar apparel company, supplying the UFC and Fortune 500 brands.

Austin breaks down the emergency order that landed his first major account, the week COVID erased 80% of his revenue, and the bet that took his family's life savings to zero before the comeback. He also unpacks co-founding a med spa with his wife, why merch might be the easiest revenue unlock for anyone with an audience, and how faith has shaped every high-stakes call.

Seventeen years, one garage, zero shortcuts — this is what building something real actually looks like. Entrepreneurs, don't skip this one.

Todd reveals the Medicaid-backed real estate model almost nobody is talking about, housing adults with disabilities through government-funded care programs, eliminating vacancy risk, and building 30% net margins while actually doing good. He also breaks down creative financing, why most landlords leave serious money on the table, and how anyone can plug into this model with little to no experience.

Today's Dropping Bombs episode features John Jubilee — health researcher and creator of the 88-Day Protocol who, at 65 years old, just set a world record bench pressing 555 pounds 14 times. He's spent 29 years measuring over 50,000 people, and in all that time, hasn't even found five who were properly hydrated.

John breaks down why drinking more water isn't solving anything, why cellular dehydration is the root cause of virtually every illness and disease (from Lyme and Crohn's to ED, low testosterone, joint degeneration, and hormone imbalances), and the simple protocol that's reversing what doctors call irreversible.

If you're tired of being told to manage your symptoms and ready to actually fix the root cause, this is the episode you've been waiting for.

Today's Dropping Bombs episode features Ryan Alexander, a credit educator who rebuilt from a 500 score to 800+ credit and now teaches everyday people how to do the same.

Ryan exposes why credit repair companies are largely a scam and the real difference between bad credit and no credit.

Credit isn't just a number. It's leverage, and most people are leaving a fortune on the table because nobody taught them the rules. This is the conversation that changes how you see money forever.

He also unpacks His Plan My Grind, his new platform for men who've lost their alignment and need a way back.

Jim breaks down his LEAP method for learning faster in the age of AI, why human intelligence (not artificial intelligence) will decide who wins the next wealth gap, and the sleep inertia window quietly running your entire day before you even open your eyes.

Everyone thinks their memory, focus, or intelligence is just who they are. Jim proves it's actually a skill, one you were never taught and can start training today. If you've ever been curious about the true limitless power of the mind, this episode delivers.

Today's Dropping Bombs episode delivers the conversation they never wanted recorded — Kevin Trudeau, the man the government spent a decade trying to silence, and failed.

Kevin returns (as highly requested) to break down the fly-on-the-wall wealth training the ultra-rich use that nobody talks about, the energy clearing method that unlocked a 40% revenue surge in three days, and the dangerous mistake you're making every time you say "I am."

Sam breaks down the brutal $11 million loss that almost destroyed his company before it took off, the pivot he made within weeks of Trump eliminating the solar tax credit, and why the battery market is the biggest gold rush in home services right now. He also gets into what real masculinity looks like, his MMA record training alongside former UFC champion Chris Weidman, and the faith journey that turned a lifelong skeptic into a proud Mormon.

There's a gold rush happening right now in home services and most people are completely asleep on it. Sam breaks down exactly where the money is and how to get in. Don't sleep on this one.

He raised $4.5 million for an AI-powered finance platform, then watched Claude and ChatGPT roll out the exact features that made it obsolete. He walked away with two patents and rebuilt from zero, solo-coding a $50,000 AI platform in nine months.

Justin breaks down the two-to-five-year window before AI, robotics, and universal basic income reshape the economy, why data centers are quietly draining water and gas reserves, and the quantum computing threat that could crack every bank vault and crypto wallet on earth.

Whether you're running a business, building one, or just trying to stay ahead of what's coming, this conversation hands you the playbook before everyone else catches on.

Today's Dropping Bombs episode delivers hard-won expertise with Shahin Amirpour, the performance and recovery specialist who spent over a decade experimenting on himself with peptides, stem cells, and recovery protocols before he ever sold a single client on any of it.

Shahin breaks down why the FDA keeps healing compounds in a gray area, how Chinese labs are flooding the peptide market with knockoffs, and why he's walking away from the Apex Peptides brand he built after copycats diluted it. He's pivoting instead into high-level coaching and a new performance clinic in Newport Beach.

Austin breaks down why "sales is service" instead of a sleazy hustle, the deep-questioning method that makes objections disappear before they happen, and how he's turned it all into an AI platform that reviews every sales call, writes custom scripts, and hands early users a piece of the company.

Sales is the one skill nobody wants to admit they need — this episode makes it impossible to keep ignoring.

Today's Dropping Bombs episode delivers a blue-collar underdog story with Jacob Emery, the Ohio pipeline company owner who went from $9-an-hour ditch digger to buying the near-eight-figure business he worked for — with a combined net worth of just $37,000.

Jacob breaks down the 407-day deal that nearly collapsed days before closing and the five daily standards he still lives by today. He also unpacks why trench collapses make pipeline work one of America's most dangerous jobs, and how he built a personal development system inside a natural gas company.

You don't need money in the bank or a business to buy — you need the clarity Jacob had to build from nothing. This episode hands you the blueprint.

Zack breaks down how AI agents plug into your existing business tools to think, report, and act like your best executives — plus the "SaaS-pocalypse" wiping out software that can't keep up, and why waiting to adopt AI is the fastest way to get buried by competitors who already have.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explain how to use science-based tools to better set and achieve goals.

I discuss the neuroscience of goal pursuit and how dopamine and visual attention shape motivation and effort. I explain whether visualizing success or failure better supports goal pursuit, how to choose goals at the right level of difficulty and evaluate progress. I also share a short “space-time bridging” protocol that helps train long-range, goal-directed behavior. These tools will help you stay motivated and reach goals more effectively.

Jeff Cavaliere, MSPT, CSCS, is a physical therapist and certified strength and conditioning specialist and one of the world's leading public educators on resistance training to build muscle size and strength, avoiding and overcoming injuries, and improving your posture and movement patterns (biomechanics). We discuss often-overlooked muscles and exercises that support decades of pain-free training and long-term progress. Jeff explains the best and most efficient ways to strengthen glutes, rotator cuff, neck, and foot muscles and connective tissues, and how to resolve back, hip, and other pain. We also cover the essentials of cardio, fat loss, and nutrition and how to make excellent and ongoing progress despite real-life training constraints. This episode is crucial for men and women as young as their teens, 20s, and 30s, all the way up to their 70s, 80s (and beyond) to be strong, mobile, and pain-free.

This episode I discuss the science and practice of learning physical skills: what it involves at a biological level, and what to focus on during skill learning at each stage to maximize learning speed and depth. I also describe what to do immediately after a training session (note: this is different than the optimal protocol for cognitive skill training) and as you progress to more advanced levels of performance. I also cover the science of skill-based visualization which does have benefits, but only if done correctly and at the correct times. I discuss auto-replay of skill learning in the brain during sleep and the value of adding in post-training ‘deliberately idle’ sessions. I cover how to immediately improve limb-range-of-motion by leveraging cerebellum function, error generation, optimal repetition numbers for learning and more. As always, scientific mechanism, peer-reviewed studies and science-based protocols are discussed.

In this episode, my guest is Bill Eddy, a lawyer, licensed therapist, professional mediator, and faculty member at the Pepperdine University School of Law. He specializes in identifying, reducing friction with, and disentangling from high-conflict individuals. We explain how high-conflict personalities differ from personality disorders and examine the cycles of blame and drama that cause persistent conflict in their relationships.

We discuss how to quickly recognize high-conflict individuals based on specific criteria and behaviors, helping listeners learn to spot their less obvious tactics. You’ll also learn how to disengage from them with minimal friction and understand the methods they use to draw people back in or keep conflict alive.

Additionally, we cover effective communication strategies for mediating situations involving high-conflict individuals, emphasizing empathy and problem-solving approaches. This episode equips listeners with tools to navigate conflict in various contexts, promoting resolutions that benefit all parties involved.

In this ⁠Huberman Lab Essentials⁠ episode, I explain the biology, symptoms and types of bipolar disorder (sometimes called bipolar depression), a condition characterized by extreme, maladaptive shifts in energy, mood and perception. I describe the diagnostic criteria that distinguish bipolar I from bipolar II, including mania and hypomania and the different patterns of mood cycling. I discuss the remarkable history and discovery of lithium and how it works, in part by reducing inflammation, providing neuroprotection and supporting the interoceptive neural circuits affected in bipolar disorder. I also cover talk therapies, electroconvulsive therapy and nutraceuticals such as omega-3 fatty acids and inositol, and I explore the intriguing relationship between mood disorders and creativity. This episode should interest anyone who has or knows someone with bipolar disorder, as well as those interested in how the brain balances mood, energy and focus.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, I explain how neuroplasticity allows the brain to continue to adapt and change throughout life, particularly through focused attention and active engagement in learning.

I explain how neuroplasticity differs in children and adults, highlighting the key neurochemicals required for adult learning. I explain science-supported protocols to boost alertness and improve attention, including techniques like visual focus and goal accountability. I also discuss how sleep, along with practices such as non-sleep deep rest (NSDR) and naps, support the brain to enhance learning.

In this episode, I explain the biology of breathing (respiration), how it delivers oxygen and carbon dioxide to the cells and tissues of the body and how is best to breathe—nose versus mouth, fast versus slow, deliberately versus reflexively, etc., depending on your health and performance needs. I discuss the positive benefits of breathing properly for mood, to reduce psychological and physiological stress, to halt sleep apnea, and improve facial aesthetics and immune system function. I also compare what is known about the effects and effectiveness of different breathing techniques, including physiological sighs, box breathing and cyclic hyperventilation, “Wim Hof Method,” Prānāyāma yogic breathing and more. I also describe how to breath to optimize learning, memory and reaction time and I explain breathing at high altitudes, why “overbreathing” is bad, and how to breathe specifically to relieve cramps and hiccups. Breathwork practices are zero-cost and require minimal time yet provide a unique and powerful avenue to improve overall quality of life that is grounded in clear physiology. Anyone interesting in improving their mental and physical health or performance in any endeavor ought to benefit from the information and tools in this episode.

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Stacy Sims, Ph.D., an exercise physiologist, nutrition scientist, and expert in female-specific nutrition and training for health, performance, and longevity. We discuss which exercise and nutrition protocols are ideal for women based on their age and particular goals.

We discuss whether women should train fasted, when and what to eat pre- and post-training, and how the menstrual cycle impacts training and nutrition needs. We also explain how to use a combination of resistance, high-intensity, and sprint interval training to effectively improve body composition, hormones, and cardiometabolic health, offset cognitive decline, and promote longevity.

We also discuss supplements and caffeine, the unique sleep needs of women based on age, whether women should use deliberate cold exposure, and how saunas can improve symptoms of hot flashes and benefit athletic performance. Dr. Sims challenges common misconceptions about women’s health and fitness and explains why certain types of cardio, caloric restriction, and low-protein diets can be harmful to women’s metabolic health.

Listeners will learn a wealth of actionable information on how to improve their training and nutrition to enhance their health and how to age with greater ability, mobility, and vitality.

I describe mechanisms by which deliberate cold exposure can enhance mental health, physical health, and performance. I detail specific protocols to safely engage in deliberate cold exposure, including minimal exposure times, time-of-day effects, determining optimal temperatures, recovery, mindset, and movement during cold exposure. I discuss how cold exposure can be used to safely stress the body to improve attention, mood, and cognitive focus and boost metabolism and reduce inflammation. Also, I explain how cold exposure on specific regions of the body (called glabrous skin surfaces) can be leveraged to enhance endurance and weight training and increase work output.

In this episode 6 of a 6-part series on fitness, exercise and performance with Andy Galpin, PhD, professor of kinesiology at California State University, Fullerton, he explains optimal nutrition, hydration and supplementation to achieve your fitness goals. We cover macronutrient guidelines, when to eat relative to training and training fasted versus fed. Dr. Galpin describes proper hydration for before and during exercise, how dehydration and/or low electrolyte concentrations impede physical and mental performance. He discusses what supplements work best for fitness and performance, how to decide which to take, if any, and when to take them. He also shares high-impact, lower-cost supplements and nutrition recommendations to benefit performance, recovery, and sleep. This episode also includes an audience Q&A. Overall, it is an in-depth but clear discussion of nutrition strategies and supplements that can help anyone improve their level of fitness physical and mental performance.
