Tish Saves Preston, Corpse Hawking, Trump's Handmaid's Tale, & Stu's Tribute.Welcome to episode forty-two of David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast. In this episode, David and Stu cover the following:1) Some updates about past issues we covered, including how David is repulsed by Levis, and is steadfast that AOC is more palatable than JD Piglet Vance, who met the Pope one day and the next day the Pope died of a stroke. We also discuss how NY Attorney General Tish James, a Trump nemesis, cut a real estate deal and saved the Preston school, while Trump has not closed any significant trade deals or ended the war in Ukraine or Gaza.2) Harvard has had its share of scandals these days, including how a morgue manager, Sedgwick Lodge, was selling body parts for cash in what can only be described as a comic macabre criminal enterprise.3) Trump has proposed paying women a $5,000 bonus if they have a baby and are US citizens in order to increase America's declining birth rates. We suspect that this must be a brainchild of his best friend, Elon Musk, who pays women $15 million for having his babies, as noted in a recent Wall Street Journal article. This proposal is truly sickening and reflects the values of Elizabeth Warren rather than the Republican Party.3) Stu ends the show by reading a letter from a friend who is close to dying and his farewell which is rather poignant. This fitting tribute is heartfelt and moving.We welcome comments on our podcasts as well which can be left on our website or any other platform you may be tuning in on.Connect with David & Stu:Email David & Stu at davidandstuunhinged@gmail.com and share your comments, concerns, and questions.We encourage all to visit our website (https://www.rageworksnetwork.com/show/david-stu-unhinged/) and please leave comments for our consideration.

The Grass is Greener Because It’s Full of Sh*t” — The Reality of Growth, Comparison, and Staying the CourseIn this candid episode, Tom and Adam unpack the emotional rollercoaster of entrepreneurship and why so many business owners feel like they're always starting over. From podcast inspiration to coaching revelations, they discuss the importance of patience, trusting your intuition, and resisting the temptation to constantly compare your journey to others'. They also dive deep into the harsh truth: the grass often looks greener because it's been heavily fertilized — sometimes with a whole lot of crap.If you’ve ever struggled with staying the course, felt the pressure to pivot, or believed you should be further along, this episode will remind you why the long game matters, how to identify the right kind of fertilizer for your growth, and why building a successful business really does take a decade.💡 Key Takeaways:• The Podcast Shift: Listening to a wider variety of podcasts revealed a gap between philosophy and tactical guidance, sparking reflection on what truly adds value — and how that applies to your own business and content creation.• The Grass is Greener… Because It’s Fertilized: Growth takes fertilizer — aka “the shit” you have to go through. There’s no shortcut to rich, sustainable success. Embrace the grind instead of trying to avoid it.• Coaching vs. Courses: Clients in coaching programs think long-term. Course-takers often seek immediacy. Each mindset needs different strategies, but both must go through the hard stuff.• Comparison Kills Progress: When you compare your journey to someone else’s highlight reel, you ignore the foundation they built — framing, wiring, and all. Focus on your build, not their finished product.• Trust Your Intuition: When comparison takes over, your intuition gets drowned out by ego and insecurity. Your gut knows what’s right — you don’t need permission to follow it.• Business Takes a Decade: It’s a journey of layers: build, exploit, delegate, and scale. Most people quit too early and restart, losing time instead of gaining ground.• Stop Chasing 10x Before You’ve Hit 2x: Growth isn’t magic; it’s methodical. You can’t skip the process. Master what you’re already good at before leaping to what’s next.• Embrace the Bipolar Nature of Business: There will be highs and lows. Don’t let either extreme control your decisions. Learn to ride the waves without crashing.• Know Who You Are and Why You’re Doing This: Use tools like the Simple Focus System to realign your values, identity, and business goals. Success starts with clarity.🔗 Resources & Links:• Explore programs, courses, and coaching at atomicbusinesscoaching.com/course• Learn more about the Simple Focus System to align who you are with the business you want to build.👋 Final Thoughts:If you’re stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in another comparison trap — don’t pivot blindly. Let us help you identify if the “shit” you’re in is worth growing through. You can build something amazing — just make sure it’s yours.

In this episode, Tom and Adam explore one of the biggest mind traps for entrepreneurs and business owners: the pressure to grow constantly. They discuss the value of repetition in learning, the importance of sustainable progress, and why stabilizing your success may be your most strategic move this year. From learning fatigue to cash flow struggles, they cover the mindset shifts and tactical strategies needed to grow smart, not just big.________________________________________🔥 Key Takeaways:• Repetition is not the enemy. Saying the same message repeatedly, especially when it's valuable, is a sign you're doing it right.• Learning never ends. As adults, learning feels harder because we carry the ego of “already knowing.” But real growth comes from embracing error correction and constant improvement.• Stabilization is the new growth. Instead of trying to outgrow your business, focus on sustaining and fully realizing your current level of success.• Cash flow gaps are normal. But many business owners misuse debt and revolving credit. A line of credit should be gap coverage, not growth fuel.• Predatory lending warning signs: high interest rates, daily payments, and fees that compound quickly. If the loan terms feel risky or desperate, they probably are.• Growth vs. Scale: Growth often requires more resources. Scaling uses your current resources more effectively to increase revenue.________________________________________👀 Visual Metaphor of the Day:Think of your business like sound levels on a mixer board. Cranking them up too fast leads to distortion and noise. The goal is smooth, stable, balanced sound, just like business growth.________________________________________💬 Memorable Quotes:“If you start sounding like a broken record, you’re probably doing something right.”“Learning is just error correction—it’s constant improvement.”“You don’t need to 10x every month. You need to stabilize before you scale.”“Don’t call it debt—call it gap coverage.”________________________________________👥 Who This Episode Is For:• Entrepreneurs scaling from early traction to stable revenue• Business owners battling growth addiction and burnout• Founders navigating cash flow and financial management• Coaches and consultants educating others on sustainable business practices________________________________________📢 Call to Action:Love what you're hearing?

41: Jackie Robinson Day, Book Banning, Harvard's Last Stand & a Harbinger of Hope.Welcome to episode forty-one of David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast. In this episode, David and Stu cover the following:1) April 15 was Jackie Robinson Day, and we discussed this legendary baseball player's contribution to the game and society. He is a testament to character, but that didn't stop our drunkard Defense secretary from purging Robinson's military service record from the Pentagon's website. 2) The issues facing higher education are daunting, including Hegseth's attack on the U.S. Naval Academy, which resulted in 381 books being removed from the library's shelves. However, ironically, students still have access to Mein Kampf. Meanwhile, Harvard, a rather unsympathetic institution, has refused Trump's efforts to blackmail them for concessions. As much as we loath Havard's hypocritical liberal elitism, we applaud them for having the backbone to stand up to this most incompetent and ineffective administration;3) The deportation cases that Trump has pursued and his open defiance of court rulings on his baseless legal claims. And despite all the talk, the deportation levels under Trump are about the same as under Biden. Trump's assault on our constitutional norms is sad to watch and has pushed David to claim that he will vote for AOC as President over JD Piglet Vance in 2028.4) In liberal San Francisco, we see a harbinger of hope with its new Mayor, Daniel Lurie, who has made great strides at saving this important city from the declines brought about by permissive progressive policies that have been devastating to urban America.

Bonus Episode: Secrecy and Safety Can’t CoexistIn this bonus episode, we look at set safety and whether the historically ‘cowboy’ culture of film sets truly permits a culture of safety. All through our first season, guests from various television and film departments repeatedly raised concerns about set safety. We dove into issues ranging from stunts, rigging, child performers, general safety, and firearms. One common thread that appeared again and again was the fact that one must always be willing to voice concerns over safety and in so doing, potentially lose a job. This compilation from season one presents some important conversations on the topic.
