Trump's and Bernie's Jet Quagmire, Met Gala Gaucheness, & Baseball Dreams

Welcome to episode forty-four 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) A discussion of some notable achievements of two loathsome individuals, Robert F. Kennedy's attempt to eliminate dyes from our food and tackle the obesity epidemic and Trump's deal-making that may benefit the U.S. economy. Unfortunately, Trump undermines the little positive achievements of his Presidency by accepting a lavish plane from Qatar to replace Air Force One as a gift, further highlighting his lack of ethics.

2) Bernie Sanders has been crisscrossing the country campaigning against Oligarchs with AOC flying in a private jet, which exposes what a fraudulent hypocrite he is as he spews carbon emissions into the atmosphere while pontificating his antiquated socialist views.

3) The 2025 Met Gala was a gauche and garish spectacle of bad taste organized by the loathsome Anna Wintour, Editor-in-Chief of Vogue, who has promoted elitism, racism, and eating disorders. The entire event is a disgrace, and Ms. Wintour deserves a long overdue cancellation.

4) A story of a baseball underdog, JC Escarra, who made it onto the Yankees at age 30 through persistence and grit. This uplifting story is at least one example of some positivity in a very dark period of American history.

In this episode, Adam and Tom dive deep into the fogginess that entrepreneurs experience when they lose clarity in their businesses. They explore how to clear that fog not with Benadryl, but with truth, intention, and aligned action. The conversation is a powerful reflection on the importance of letting go of excuses, embracing reality, and fully stepping into who you are right now, rather than waiting for the “perfect moment.”

🔑 Key Takeaways

🌫️ 1. Business Allergies and the Fog of Confusion

1. Just like seasonal allergies, entrepreneurs often go through “foggy” seasons in business.
2. Lack of clarity stems from resistance to change or trying to force solutions that don’t fit.
3. The remedy? A dose of honest reflection and intentional action, not more noise or tactics.

🧭 2. Submit to Your Reality

1. Success lies in recognizing what actually works for you, not what’s trending or “supposed to work.”
2. Adam shares their journey of discovering that relationship-building, not advertising, is their strength.
3. For many relationship-style businesses (like coaching or consulting), personal connection is the foundation, not flashy marketing.

❌ 3. Stop Making Excuses

1. Excuses become self-imposed obstacles. The more you repeat them, the more you believe them.
2. Instead of blaming external conditions, face the reality: if something isn’t working, fix it or change it.
3. Tom emphasizes that success requires iteration, not perfection.

🔁 4. Shift From Have-Do-Be → Be-Do-Have

1. Common mindset trap: “Once I have money, I’ll do more work, and then I’ll be successful.”
2. New approach: “Be the productive, helpful person now, do the work, and you will have the results.”
3. Flip the script — identity first, then action, then outcomes.

🔥 5. Be the Coach — Even Without the Client

1. Waiting for sales before stepping into your role keeps you stuck.
2. Don’t wait to be the coach, creator, or service provider — start being it now.
3. Genuinely help people first; the business will follow naturally.

🧠 6. Set the Right Intention Based on Who You Are

1. Intentions change based on the role you choose to embody: coach vs. salesperson.
2. Focus on the main thing you want to be, even if you wear multiple hats.
3. Your roles should serve your purpose — not distract from it.

🌟 7. Live and Express Your Purpose

1. Tom shares how his life purpose...
