The thing that I find interesting about the economy, never thought I would think about it, never thought I'd be drawn into it.

And now the vast majority of my content revolves around like traditional economies.

Yeah.

What I find so powerful about it is that it is cause and effect at its core.

So it is how humans work, and you can just see the nature of humans manifest in how economies work, how to incentivize people,

what they'll say yes to, what they'll say no to, how they price themselves, how they price the things that they want, all of that stuff.

So in a relationship, I think it's equally as, it's not a metaphor.

It's literally just, okay, there are things that you make me feel, I presume, is a big part of what you mean by this.

So how do we ground it?

So if somebody right now is getting into a relationship, maybe they've had failures in the past, or maybe they're brand new.

But either way, they need a way to ground around what this exchange is.

So if we were gonna strip away the metaphor, like is it, like when my wife and I founded a company together, we expressly stated, these are my roles, these are your roles, this is how we will handle conflict.

There's only two of us, so it's one V one in terms of a vote.

We can hit a stalemate, how do we deal with stalemates?

We talk through all of it with very concrete, this is what happens when we collide.

how should couples in your experience encounter that moment of agreeing like beyond the love of this all, what is the exchange in a relationship?

Taking a short break, but there's more Impact Theory after.

Stay tuned.

Let's talk about a valuable thing that you own but don't actually control, your phone number.

You protect your Bitcoin with a seed phrase, you use two-factor authentication for your bank account, but your phone number that you use for verifications and many other things, AT&T can transfer it with a customer service call.
