Jason Hartman discusses the fundamental reasons for business and personal failure, specifically identifying fear, poor mindset, lack of connections, and deficient systems. Hartman emphasizes that individuals must view themselves as the CEOs of their own lives to navigate economic crises effectively. The guest, Steve Hochberg from Elliott Wave International, explains the Elliott Wave Principle, a theory suggesting that financial markets are driven by predictable patterns of crowd psychology rather than external news. Hochberg argues that the 2020 market crash was a mathematical inevitability caused by a shift from extreme optimism to pessimism rather than being solely due to the pandemic. The discussion concludes by exploring how these psychological shifts impact real estate, predicting a migration away from high-density urban areas toward more stable, linear markets.
