get ready to take a flamethrower to the official narrative and learn what the elites don't want you to know

you're listening to the tom woods show

everybody tom woods here episode episode 2772 of the tom wood show. We have the great Troy Broussard with us.

Former Navy nuclear engineer turned serial entrepreneur, turned probably one of the most important people I could ever introduce you to.

And he's just finished a road trip across the country where he got to meet a whole lot of Tom Woods people,

all of whom came out to say, thank you very much because you totally changed my life.

And Troy, before you even get to say a word, I want to get a couple things out there.

First, just as a little tease, one of the things that we're going to talk about a little bit today is when 2008 happened, yes, the Austrian economists predicted that that was going to happen. But the timing is always hard. And there are a lot of ordinary Americans who had no idea that that was coming. And they got really, really hurt. Now, here we are in 2026. I don't know what's coming.

There could be something bad down the road, but it really is impossible to time and I think

it's vain and fruitless even to bother trying. So the question then becomes, well, then,

what position should I be in so that when it does happen, even though I don't have a crystal

ball, I will be best positioned to weather it, happen, even though I don't have a crystal ball,

I will be best positioned to weather it, unlike, you know, a lot of just the ordinary schmows out there who, you know, don't know what hit them. But the second thing I want to say, so we'll get to that. But the second thing I want to say, I've said one or two times when I've had Troy on in the past. First time I had Troy on. Now, I've

known Troy a little bit because for one of my websites and for Scott Horton's Academy, we both use

Learnistic, which is one of Troy's companies. It generates the mobile app for those websites.

And I was having a little trouble with it. And Troy jumped over the help desk to get to me directly and say, I'm going to

fix this for you right now. And I remember thinking, now that is a guy I would want to do business with.

And then it turns out I got to know him on a personal level and so on and so forth. But first time

I had Troy on, we talked about yet another thing Troy does. He developed a system for options trading. You think, I would never in a million years. Why would I do that? I don't know anything about it. It sounds risky. I would never do that. So I had him on. He talked about it. I've been doing it, having success with it. And Troy, I will never forget the abuse I took from my own people in the YouTube comments. Oh, it's a scam, there's no way this can be, and all, rah, blah, right.

Okay, so now it's over a year since then, well over a year since then.

Those people, Troy, you can't find, it's like tumbleweed.

You can't find those people anymore.
