Vivek reveals how this alliance between Wall Street and social activism created a $21 billion “woke industrial complex” that threatens liberty and unity. Learn how virtue signaling replaced genuine courage, why corporate hypocrisy corrodes trust, and why separating capitalism from democracy may be crucial to preserving American freedom.   ➡️ Show Links https://successstorypodcast.com   YouTube: https://youtu.be/RsXdhoHAyao  Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/vivek-ramaswamy-entrepreneur-author-wokeness-corporate/id1484783544  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5qbBUEtDLx7KMnMDyYGN8d    ➡️ Watch the Podcast on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/scottdclary

You're either working hard in the wrong place or leaving right before luck shows up. I'll break down how to position yourself where luck can actually find you—and why most people quit 18 months before their lucky break would've happened. ➡️ Connect With Me https://instagram.com/scottdclary / https://twitter.com/scottdclary
