Let's talk about the moment your side hustle becomes a real business. Now, I see way too many founders stay stuck running their business like it's a hobby. And then they wonder why nothing ever feels real. It doesn't feel real because it's not. I've helped thousands of entrepreneurs build real businesses through Impact Theory University. And the first step in the path to building a legit business is registering it. And Tailor Brands will help you do just that in a few clicks.

An LLC, a Limited Liability Company, is an official business structure. It's inexpensive to form and very simple to maintain. It's how you open a business bank account. It's how customers know they're dealing with a real company. And Tailor Brands doesn't stop at the filing. Their dashboard tracks what comes next based on what your business actually needs. So EIN number, registered agent, licenses and permits, bookkeeping, business banking.

I tell every founder the same thing. Just make it official. Click the link in the show notes to check out Tailor Brands and get started on your business today. This is a paid advertisement.

For 26 weeks in a row, the US government has been quietly draining America's emergency oil reserve, literally every single week. And it's now at the lowest level since 1982, which is a 44-year low and nobody seems to have noticed.

Tom Bilyeu (2:02)

Now listen, this is but one of the many things that people are gonna need to be paying attention to in terms of what's going on in the economy right now.

This is the Wild West. We are watching the entire world order change. We are watching late stage investing change. This is so many things that are coming together all at one time that is allowing basically people's savings to get completely obliterated in real time, completely nakedly above board. It's happening for everybody to see. But the real question is, what regime are we living in? Is this where we can just use the traditional playbook that you would use when you have inflation or is this something different? Ultimately, that's what everybody's trying to figure out.

Felix Prehn (2:45)

And I almost scroll past it myself, but I couldn't quite leave it alone because this was never really about the oil.

America pumps more oil than any country on the planet. It exports the stuff. So why would anyone empty the emergency tank week after week at the exact moment the country doesn't need to?

Tom Bilyeu (3:04)

Actually, a pretty good reason.

Felix Prehn (3:06)

I think I know why. And it's kept me up a couple of nights since because it lines up with two other things that turned up this month. And it's the three of them landing together at once that actually worries me. On their own, each one is just a thing. You kind of go, okay, whatever, oil, you know. But together, they actually tell you what's being set up.

And the last time I've seen this set up, ordinary savers got cleaned out while a small group who saw it coming walked away, well, a heck of a lot better off than they'd been. And by the end of this video, if you give me a few minutes, you know exactly what the skilled money is doing right now.

And you'll have seen the one number that made me move what I'm doing just a couple of days back. All right.

Tom Bilyeu (3:54)

We're actually going to be talking about something very specific towards the end of the video in terms of what specifically you can do to protect yourself from what's happening right now. The reality is the average investor is going to be running a nice, traditional, simple path forward, get into assets and avoid everything else. We're going to talk about whether that's going to work in this context, but the average person that's just saving money always gets obliterated.

That unfortunately, regardless of whether we're going into a new regime or not, that person is going to be hurt.
