The Financial Impact Of Russia's Invasion - Tom Nash - #443

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hello, friends, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Tom Nash. He's a financial analyst, investor and a YouTuber. The stock market has had a wild couple of years. Rounding that off with a full scale Russian invasion makes understanding the current global financial situation and how to not end up on the receiving end of it even more complex. Thankfully, Tom is a Russian and he's here to help. Expect to learn why Russia's economy has started struggling so quickly, just how big of a deal being taken off Swift really is, what it's like to hear Vladimir Putin speak if you can actually understand Russian, Tom's advice on how not to invest your money over the coming months, whether crypto is the answer, what's happening with real estate and much more. This is not an episode about how to profiteer from a conflict going on in Eastern Europe. It is, however, an episode on how to play defense, as Tom calls it, how to protect the money that you've worked hard to earn from being annihilated by a war that we don't know how long it's going to go on for. I appreciate Tom. His YouTube channel is dope, and you should go and check it out if you enjoy what you hear today. And we do get to talk about some other fun stuff. His relationship with his kids and his feelings about becoming a father and also our favorite YouTube channels. It's not all doom and gloom, and Tom definitely has a way of making the financial apocalypse sound a lot more fun than it actually is. In other news, this episode is brought to you by BioOptimizers. Unfortunately, a lot of us have been beaten down by anxiety, stress and poor sleep due to all the uncertainty in the world. And if you're a working parent, you've had the extra difficulty of keeping your kids occupied 24-7 while trying to work from home. It's not an easy task. So if you feel exhausted and burnt out, you're not alone. There are tens of thousands of people in a similar place right now. The question is, what can we do to enhance our mental wellness and recapture our zest for life? A great place to start is to take magnesium breakthrough daily. Stress and anxiety deplete your magnesium levels. Low magnesium levels then contribute to more anxiety, which is a vicious cycle. By supplementing with magnesium breakthrough, you can break that cycle because you'll be getting seven unique forms of organic full spectrum magnesium for stress relief and better sleep all in one bottle. Taking magnesium breakthrough will help you to experience more energy, stronger bones, healthy blood pressure, less irritability, a calmer mood, reduced muscle cramping and even fewer migraines. And because it supports mental wellness, magnesium breakthrough can help you to finally feel yourself again. Simply take two capsules before you go to bed and you'll be amazed by the improvements in your mood and energy levels and how much more rested you feel when you wake up.
