  • Sometimes the title says it all. Shelter is actually propping up inflation and Chris, Saied and Haroon have the data to prove it.

    ➡️ Specifically, shelter accounts for approximately 33% of the total CPI and approximately 40% of core inflation. With this much weighting, you can't hit the Fed's 2% target without a decrease in shelter costs.

  • It's been a while since the boys have had a guest on and they thought why not keep it in the family. Saied's cousin, Weiss Surkhabi, MD and his co-founder, Dr. Sina Arham join us to talk about their journey in building their company "Fridays." Fridays aims to provide patients with weight loss solutions that fit their biology and their budget. They believe in a patient's right to fair and equitable medical treatment to achieve their healthiest weight. Essentially treating obesity as a disease before someone's health deteriorates in to so many of the conditions that tend to develop afterward.

    ➡️ If you have followed the show, you already know that Chris is a big fan of peptides and what they mean for longevity and preventative care. So naturally it made sense to speak to two subject matter experts on some of the more popular variants and the nuances of how and when they are prescribed. Of course, it wouldn't be The Higher Standard podcast if we didn't get in to the nuances of how the business was started, the challenges that needed to be overcome and the lessons learned along the way.

  • Okay, look, we admit it. We are a tiny bit older than 20 years-old and sure, that makes us the "old guys." But, it does mean we have lived through some good and bad decisions.

We hope they help you decide whether or not you are will to take the risk and invest on your own.
