Here's a draft optimized for Spotify's format (short, scannable, keyword-rich, hooks early):
Trump's approval just hit 36%. Republicans are defecting. Discharge petitions are succeeding. MAGA is losing control—and it's happening faster than anyone expected.
In this episode, we break down the political crackup in DC: why Mike Johnson can't hold his caucus, why state legislatures are ignoring the White House, and what it all means for 2026.
Then we get into what you really came for: our complete 2026 market outlook. We read every major Wall Street forecast—JPMorgan, Goldman, BlackRock, UBS, Wells Fargo, and more—hundreds of pages—and pulled out the themes that matter.
We cover:→ What the Fed will actually do (and what it means for your portfolio)→ Why JPMorgan says AI is NOT a bubble→ Emerging markets, the dollar, and where capital is flowing→ Private markets, dry powder, and the dealflow unlock
Whether you're managing money or just want to sound smart at the holiday dinner table, this one's for you.

great. Now what's a viral instagram reel idea that will make sure we can go viral and plug the pod before the episode even comes out?
Here's a viral reel concept that will hit:
THE REEL:
Hook (0-2 seconds):You in frame: "92% of America's economic growth is fake."
The Setup (2-8 seconds):Quick cut to computer screen showing GDP numbers while you narrate:"Q2 2025 GDP: 3.8% growth. Sounds great right? Here's what they're not telling you..."
The Reveal (8-15 seconds):Dramatic zoom on your face or whiteboard breakdown:"92% of that growth? Just data centers and AI infrastructure. The actual economy—the one you work in? Growing at 0.1%. That's not growth. That's a flatline with a tech sugar high."
The Kicker (15-20 seconds):"Meanwhile, October had the highest job cuts in 20 years AFTER the Fed cut rates. You know why? Because cheaper money doesn't create jobs when companies are using it to replace you with AI instead."
The Close (20-25 seconds):"We break down exactly what this means for your money in our new episode dropping Monday. Because if you don't understand this split, you're playing in the wrong economy."
Caption:The economy isn't broken—it's two completely different economies. One for asset owners (thriving) and one for everyone else (recession).
92% of GDP growth = AI/data centersThe other 8% = everything else at 0.1%
October 2025: Highest job cuts in 20 years AFTER rate cuts
This isn't sustainable. Full breakdown on Monday's episode.

Visual style: Quick cuts, mix of you talking to camera + screen recordings of actual data + maybe a simple chart overlay. Raw, urgent, documentary-style. Not overproduced.
Why it'll work: Shocking stat, builds tension, explains something people feel but can't articulate, promises answers, creates urgency for the Monday drop.

Passing the Torch Podcast - Episode #5: Building Billion-Dollar Companies with Julie Wainwright
Good morning, and welcome back to the Passing the Torch Podcast! Today is Monday, October 13th, and we have an incredible guest joining us.
Over 90% of startups fail within the first five years, yet everyone seems to have a "million-dollar idea" in their pocket. So what separates the ones that crash and burn from the few that actually transform industries?
Today, we're joined by Julie Wainwright, founder and former CEO of The RealReal—the world's leading luxury resale marketplace that she grew from a bold idea into a billion-dollar publicly-traded company. Julie revolutionized how we think about luxury and sustainability, creating an entirely new market for authenticated pre-owned luxury goods.
But her entrepreneurial journey is even more remarkable. Before The RealReal, Julie was CEO of Pets.com during the dot-com era—an experience that became the cornerstone of her resilience and taught her invaluable lessons about building lasting companies.
In this conversation, we dive deep into:
Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, an investor, or just curious about the story behind brands that shape our world, this episode is packed with actionable insights.

AGI Might Make Humans Useless...Or Not. Robin Hanson on Passing the Torch Podcast Episode #3
In this mind-bending episode, we sit down with renowned economist and futurist Robin Hanson to explore the frontier of artificial general intelligence. What happens when AI matches—and surpasses—human-level cognition? Robin walks us through potential future scenarios, from brain emulations and whole-brain simulations to radically transformed economic and social structures.
We dive deep into the implications of AGI: How will society reorganize itself? What happens to work, creativity, and human purpose? Could we be living through the most consequential technological transition in human history?
But we don't just theorize—we test the waters ourselves. Emile and I conduct a live Turing test on the show, putting AI to the ultimate challenge: Can it convince us it's human? The results might surprise you.
Whether you're an AI optimist, skeptic, or somewhere in between, this conversation will reshape how you think about intelligence, consciousness, and what it means to be human in an age of thinking machines.

What drives ordinary people to commit extraordinary acts of violence in the name of politics? In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with renowned terrorism expert Jessica Stern to unpack the psychology behind political extremism and the rising tide of violence threatening democracies worldwide.
Stern, a Harvard lecturer and former National Security Council advisor who has interviewed everyone from white supremacists to Islamic militants, takes us deep into the radical mindset. We explore how grievance transforms into rage, why some people cross the line from protest to violence, and what warning signs we're missing in our own communities.
From January 6th to international terrorism, from lone wolf attacks to organized movements—we examine the spectrum of political violence and ask the uncomfortable questions: Are we more vulnerable than we think? How do social media and echo chambers fuel radicalization? And most importantly, how do we pull people back from the brink?
This isn't just about "them"—it's about understanding the dangerous currents running through our polarized society and what we can do to stop the next attack before it happens.
Warning: This episode contains discussions of violence and terrorism that some listeners may find disturbing.
Episode 1: "Who Are These People On My FYP?" - Introducing Passing the Torch
Welcome to the very first episode of Passing the Torch, the podcast where high school students prove that Gen Z can engage in serious, rigorous intellectual discourse without losing our authenticity.
In this inaugural episode, we pull back the curtain and introduce ourselves. You'll meet your hosts as we share our backgrounds, what drives our passion for meaningful conversation, and why we believe our generation desperately needs a space for deep thinking in an age of soundbites and hot takes.
We discuss:
This is us being real, unpolished, and honest about why we're doing this. No guests, no agenda – just two high school students who believe that smart doesn't have to mean stuffy, and that our generation is hungry for conversations that actually matter.
Consider this our mission statement, wrapped in the kind of authentic conversation we hope to bring to bigger topics. If you've ever felt like you're the only young person who wants to dig deeper, this episode is for you.
Duration: 28 minutes Recorded: 9/17/2025
Passing the Torch is a podcast dedicated to bringing educated, civil, and rigorous intellectual discourse to the forefront of Gen Z culture. New episodes weekly.
