Ep 1: Neil Howe - The Fourth Turning Is Here - Preparing For National Crisis With Community

Описание: History says we are in a crisis.

According to historian Neil Howe*, societies move through recurring cycles every 80–100 years. The final stage — the *Fourth Turning — is a period of crisis when institutions break down, trust erodes, and the old systems are forced to reset.



In this episode, Neil shows that we are undergoing a Fourth Turning. He argues what individuals, families, and business owners can do to prepare for this period of disruption — and how to rebuild the foundations for the next period of growth.



The question isn’t whether change is coming. It’s how prepared you are when it arrives.



Bio: Neil Howe is a historian, economist, and author best known for developing the generational theory described in _The Fourth Turning_, written with William Strauss. Howe is also a senior advisor at Hedgeye and co-manager of the Fourth Turning ETF, which focuses on long-term macro trends.
