My guest today is Paul Tudor Jones (@ptj_official), one of the greatest macro traders of all time.
He correctly predicted the 1987 stock market crash and shorted the Japanese bubble in 1990. For over 40 years, his flagship fund has had a negative correlation to the S&P 500. 100% of his returns are alpha.
He says today's market has so many similarities to 2000, "the easiest bear market I've ever seen in my whole life."
He makes the case for going long dollar-yen, why Bitcoin beats gold as an inflation hedge, and why he was wrong about Warren Buffett.
But what I'll remember most from this conversation is Paul's zest for life. He's 71 and still wakes at 2:30 every morning to trade the London open. He works out for two hours a day. He walks with his wife every evening. He travels the country chasing peak spring and peak fall. He's so excited about the songs picked for his funeral that he wishes he could be there to hear them.
Paul has lived five lifetimes in one. He's one of the most entertaining and interesting people I've met, and the conversation will leave you searching to be as passionate about what you do as he is about what he does.
Enjoy!

VIDEO COLUMN (2): The Hormuz question.
What's happening in the world's most important oil and LNG chokepoint? Let me explain the situation in the strait, and how its shipping lines (and status) are changing, perhaps for ever.

I’ll try to make this as crystal clear as possible, because much of the strength and conditioning field still views resistance training through a very narrow lens—a weight room filled with barbells and dumbbells.
I’ve read the research. I’ve seen the papers. Resistance training for pre-adolescent children consistently shows positive outcomes across the board. That part isn’t controversial anymore.
Where the confusion lies is what actually counts as resistance training for kids.
In our industry, “resistance training” has become almost synonymous with external load. And to be clear—external loading through dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells, bands, and medicine balls is absolutely safe and beneficial when properly coached.
But resistance training does not begin and end there.
Sprinting, jumping, grappling, tackling and blocking, climbing, crawling, carrying, throwing, parkour, gymnastics, and Ninja-style activities are all legitimate, highly effective forms of resistance training. These activities challenge force production, absorption, coordination, and control—often at levels far more complex than a single-plane lift.
More importantly, they’re fun, engaging, and developmentally appropriate. They expose kids to resistance through their own body weight, gravity, momentum, and interaction with the environment—across multiple planes of motion and constantly changing contexts.
If the goal is to build strong, resilient, adaptable athletes, then resistance training for children must be viewed as a movement experience, not just a loading strategy.
