Grant Cardone is certainly more fame than game, but his antics are stupid and bad, so we decided he needed an episode. You've seen him on Youtube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and ... the other ones. Is the final boss of used car salesmen just out to sell us another lemon? Join us as we investigate!

RadBill Shorty: Enlightenment Now and Why things Aren't Actually Getting Better Sep 06, 2023

Show notes

In the past 5 years, someone has told you that things are actually great and have urged you to look at how far we've come. In this short episode we dive into the writings of Steven Pinker (one of the loudest voices from the "actually, everything is great" camp) to illustrate that you aren't crazy. Things are tough right now.
