In this weeks podcast, we examine the implications of Trump’s latest trade deals —from the one-sided EU deal to politically charged moves against Brazil. Are the deals being structured to exclude China from global supply chains and are these tariffs just about trade, or something more? We explore how constant changes are disrupting business activity, whether manufacturing is really coming back to the U.S., and what history tells us about protectionism’s impact on innovation and productivity.Unhedged Podcast Link: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3CREUnnwvLIJO7xxkUb1h8?si=c240e7c1bbe14cb3 [https://open.spotify.com/episode/3CREUnnwvLIJO7xxkUb1h8?si=c240e7c1bbe14cb3] Patrick's Books: Statistics For The Trading Floor: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3eerLA0⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://amzn.to/3eerLA0] Derivatives For The Trading Floor: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://amzn.to/3cjsyPF⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [ https://amzn.to/3cjsyPF] Corporate Finance: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://amzn.to/3fn3rvC ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://amzn.to/3fn3rvC ] Ways To Support The Channel: Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinance⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinance] Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/patrickboyle

Jeffrey Epstein was a college dropout with no formal financial training who amassed a fortune worth hundreds of millions of dollars and mingled with presidents and billionaires. Drawing on court records and media investigations we trace where Epstein's money came from and what happened to it? From his first job as a high school teacher to involvement in a Ponzi scheme, secretive offshore firms, and powerful clients like Les Wexner and Leon Black. As conspiracy theories swirl and official narratives shift, one question remains unanswered: where did Epstein's money actually come from?

This video dives into the rise and fall of the Xlinks Morocco–UK Power Project, exploring how overcomplication, bespoke design, and regulatory gridlock have turned modern megaprojects into cautionary tales. From fish discos at Hinkley Point C to 31,000-page environmental assessments, we ask: have we forgotten how to build? And what can we learn from countries like Ireland in the 1920s—or South Korea today—about getting big things done?

This video explores the rise of the corporate Bitcoin treasury strategy, tracing its origins with MicroStrategy’s dramatic pivot, the global wave of imitators, and the political entanglements reshaping the crypto landscape.
