🚨(Warning: Darius' mic was a little hot this episode so adjust your volume accordingly.)🚨

In this episode of Pain Points: Where the World Meets Business, we lead off by touching on the now-second assassination attempt on Former President Trump.

We then jump into the current state of the economy, the latest Fed rate cuts, and what they mean for entrepreneurs. 

Lastly we survey marketing and entrepreneurial insights and close out with a look at the mainstream machine, which is very much a machine at this point.
