Rashad Bilal kicks things off by highlighting the importance of daily exercise, meditation, gratitude through prayer, mindful nutrition, and continuous education. Drawing from years of personal experience, Rashad shares how working out for an hour, starting the day with meditation, and sticking to a nutrition plan—like having only fruit before noon and no food after 8 pm—have all played a pivotal role in his personal growth. He also emphasizes drinking a gallon of water and making sure to dedicate time every day to learning something new, whether through documentaries, books, or podcasts. Troy Millings builds on these habits with his own approach to intentional living. He echoes the need for prayer as the first act of the day and is a firm believer in reading before turning to any screens or distractions. Troy shares the power of self-reflection, including weekly check-ins with his wife to ensure they’re aligned both personally and professionally. Treating the body like a vital infrastructure, he underscores the benefits of incorporating exercise and sauna sessions. Troy also stresses the importance of staying connected with your finances, making it a point to review accounts, investments, and assets daily to avoid surprises and maintain control. Ian Dunlap adds his perspective by focusing on meditation, prayer, and prioritizing personal relationships before business each morning. He talks about gratitude practices, like writing down three things he’s grateful for, and making it a mission to learn and do something new every day to avoid getting stagnant. Ian also mentions the significance of studying markets regularly to stay sharp and ahead. These insights from Rashad, Troy, and Ian go beyond surface-level tips—they’re actionable strategies rooted in experience.

In this Market Mondays clip, Rashad Bilal and Troy Millings deliver an in-depth discussion about the mounting geopolitical tensions surrounding Taiwan, focusing on the global importance of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSMC). The conversation examines whether China is likely to attempt a takeover of Taiwan this year, the potential repercussions for the world's tech economy, and the strategic stakes behind semiconductor manufacturing. Troy Millings and Rashad Bilal break down how TSMC stands at the center of the AI and tech revolution, responsible for manufacturing a staggering 90% of the world’s advanced semiconductors. With both U.S. GDP and leading tech giants—Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Meta—heavily reliant on Taiwan’s chips, any threat to TSMC not only jeopardizes global technological progress but could also trigger economic catastrophe. The clip highlights the unlikely scenario of immediate conflict but acknowledges espionage attempts, corporate “kill switch” defenses, and China’s longstanding desire to reunify with Taiwan—all of which add layers to this complex global standoff. Rashad Bilal emphasizes the strategic moves of U.S. investment in semiconductor fabs, aiming to reduce dependency and avoid the risks tied to the hyperconcentration of tech stocks. The duo also exposes the shifting market landscape, noting that just 10 stocks now comprise 35% of the U.S. market’s value—a level of concentration unseen in decades. Subtle references to historical missteps, espionage cases, and “war games” scenarios give viewers a gripping understanding of the stakes at play. Troy Millings and Rashad Bilal invite questions about everything from global manufacturing trends to the realities of modern warfare and economic security. Whether you’re an investor, tech enthusiast, or someone keeping tabs on world events, this is a must-watch analysis showing how one company, one country, and one conflict could reshape the future of the global economy. *Hashtags:* #Taiwan #China #TSMC #Semiconductors #TechStocks #MarketMondays #Geopolitics #Investing #AI #Nvidia #Apple #Microsoft #Meta #Hyperconcentration #USMarket #GlobalEconomy #WarGames #FinancialNews #StockMarketSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this clip from Market Mondays, Rashad Bilal and Ian Dunlap dive deep into the unfolding situation in Venezuela and its global financial impact. They discuss the dramatic court hearing of Venezuela’s ousted president in New York, the ongoing disputes over oil, and how U.S. companies may stand to benefit from geopolitical shifts. Ian Dunlap identifies major players in the oil industry—Schlumberger, Chevron, ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, Halliburton, Baker Hughes—and key ETFs like XLE and ITA that are at the center of this fast-moving trade. The conversation explores how these companies and investments could be affected, but also raises the big question: how long will this oil trade remain relevant given the volatility in Venezuela? Rashad Bilal highlights the complexity of Venezuela’s oil situation, noting its thick crude oil and refining challenges, compounded by years of sanctions. The clip uncovers how U.S. interests may be less about regime change and more about friendly extortion and strategic alignment, drawing parallels to historic situations in Iraq and Libya but also pointing out important differences. This is not just a discussion about profit and trades—it’s a candid look at the moral dilemmas facing investors. Is it right to invest in sectors benefitting from international turmoil? Rashad Bilal reflects on how many Venezuelans accept U.S. involvement for a chance at a better future, underlining that the story isn’t black or white. The conversation wraps with speculation about wider ambitions for U.S. influence, naming Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, and even Greenland as potential targets for strategic moves. This is a must-watch for anyone interested in the intersection of geopolitics, finance, and morality. *Hashtags:* #Venezuela #OilTrade #Geopolitics #MarketMondays #RashadBilal #IanDunlap #Investing #Finance #USPolitics #Imperialism #StockMarket #OilStocks #GlobalMarketsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
