Comrades: I am excited to host my friend Mike Kimelman on The Demoralization Zone.
Mike is a father, patriot, investor, coach, and sensemaker. In this podcast, we discuss his unique journey from Wall Street to prison to spiritual redemption. He is the only man I know who has been incarcerated and had the fortitude to emerge stronger. More details can be found in his books Confessions of a Wall Street Insider and Mastering the Basics of Bitcoin & Crypto. He also runs a private coaching group called Alpha360 Foundations and publishes a Substack called Sovereign Sunday:

Mike and I reference the insider trading case of disgraced former McKinsey CEO Rajat Gupta, who fed confidential board meeting materials to his Wharton classmate and hedge fund buddy Raj Rajaratnam:

How To Ask Me Anything (30 min podcast)
Listen now (27 min) | Comrades: Thank you for all of your reader mailbag questions. I will answer them in today’s podcast. Here are the questions you submitted that I’ll be covering: What is your writing process and inspiration? Why are you staying anonymous? How many people know you IRL and who are these secret readers you mention?
As the Yuri audience grows, so does my risk of getting doxxed. That is why I have kept podcasts with my voice and the more personal, revealing content behind paywalls. Almost every anon has been outed when they have reached scale and triggered enough people. I have made peace with the potential of having my identity revealed. If and when it happens, I hope it will have Streisand effect so that more people know the name Yuri Bezmenov and what he warned us about. I also take comfort that lions like you would help me fight off the hyenas:
