    When Passive Money Meets Mega IPOs | Protect the Pile Episode 13

    In this episode of Protect the Pile, the team covers liquidity-driven market strength, record S&P levels, resilient global equities, and oil’s strange weakness despite tightening inventories.

Sam shares takeaways from Bernstein’s conference, including AI data-center delays, power constraints, and semiconductor momentum. The panel also debates whether energy markets are mispricing crude shortages, potential demand destruction, and late-summer fuel risks. Brooks introduces his index-rebalance background and explains why index inclusion matters.  Hedgeye Founder & CEO Keith McCullough's long-awaited new book, “Master The Market” is available now!

    Ep. 139 Real Conversations | Resilience & Winning Through Uncertainty w/ Sam Goodwin

    We hosted a powerful "Real Conversation" between Hedgeye CEO Keith McCullough and Sam Goodwin — bestselling author, keynote speaker, and global traveler turned hostage survivor. In 2019, Sam's quest to visit every country on Earth took a violent detour. He was abducted by the Syrian regime, accused of being a CIA spy, and threatened with being handed to ISIS for beheading. He survived, wrote about it, and turned the experience into a framework for thriving in chaos. In Sam's own words from Saving Sam: "After a twenty-minute ride, a Syrian military compound lined with barbed wire and concrete fences appeared out of nowhere in a field. We pulled in… As I got out, it dawned on me that they had all been waiting just for me." (pg. 30) Perspective matters. Markets will always test your comfort level — that’s how resilience is built. The best investors, like the strongest people, don’t fight uncertainty; they embrace it, adapt, and come out stronger on the other side. That is the heartbeat of Hedgeye's process, and it is the foundation of Sam's signature program, "Winning Through Uncertainty." In this timely conversation, Keith and Sam draw a straight line from surviving captivity to surviving markets.

    "The Machine Runs on Liquidity" | Protect the Pile Episode 12

    In this episode of Protect the Pile, RPK and Sam discuss strong earnings, tech leadership, lower volatility, and a possible Quad 2-to-Quad 3 transition favoring healthcare over industrials. Nvidia’s results were strong, but AI bottlenecks are shifting toward CPUs, networking, and compute capacity. They debate hyperscaler spending, Anthropic/OpenAI demand, and AI monetization. Energy remains a key risk, with Strait of Hormuz disruptions, inventory draws, and stagflationary pressure. They close on momentum, liquidity, risk ranges, portfolio discipline, Nasdaq hedging, and future IPOs Hedgeye Founder & CEO Keith McCullough's long-awaited new book, “Master The Market” is available now!

    Former Top Gun Pilot on Hallucinogens, PTSD & the Abyss

    Brian "Ponch" Rivera's 28-year U.S. Navy career as a F-14 Top Gun aviator is one marked by exceptional leadership and operational expertise. But it wasn't without tremendous sacrifice.  He opens in the cockpit on a 2001 training mission over the Bay of Bengal, with the roommate he swapped seats with, who never came back. Through his emotional retelling, Rivera explains how, in a complex adaptive system, you can make all the right decisions, have all the right hedges on, and still end up with a catastrophic outcome. Since 9/11, just over 7,000 American service members have died in combat. In that same period, 140,000 veterans have died by suicide — the VA puts the rate at 17 a day; independent research puts it as high as 44 once overdoses are counted honestly. The system's answer is SSRIs, benzos, sleep aids, and painkillers. They're treating symptoms, not the system. Rivera traces the path from the "Just Say No" era of the 1970s War on Drugs to his story of ibogaine treatment in Tijuana alongside his friend Mark "Slider" Keller, who'd spent seven years on a couch after a moral injury in combat and was injecting cocaine by the time they boarded the plane. A Stanford study of 30 special operators showed PTSD symptoms down 88%, depression down 87%, and anxiety down 81% one month after a single ibogaine treatment. The medicine — still DEA Schedule I, "no accepted medical use" — interrupts opioid, meth, cocaine, and alcohol addiction within 24 to 36 hours and rebuilds severed neural connections. Rivera's work with Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions helped push it from the underbelly of Tijuana to the White House in five years, culminating in President Trump's April 2026 executive order opening federal funding for ibogaine research. Weaving together predictive processing, controlled hallucination, fractal attractor dynamics, and Neil Howe's Fourth Turning, Rivera makes the case that the trauma isn't the event — it's the response.
