Nobel Prize winners, legendary traders, bestselling authors, and the pros that know what drive us irrational human beings.

I am your host, Michael Cobell.

Not filtered, raw, honest.

That's my passion.

Ever since I got on a plane,

leaving San Diego, February 2013, and spending the better part of the last two years in Asia, and a heck of a lot of countries, a ton of cities.

That feeling of the Wild West, that feeling being indiana jones i just love it now of course

if you go to shanghai if you go to beijing if you go to bangkok you go to singapore if you go to

kuala lumpur it's not exactly the wild west it's not what i mean but it is the wild west in the sense West. It's not what I mean.

But it is the Wild West in the sense that when you've not seen these places, they're exciting.

It's a whole new, just waking up to the world.

I mean, if you have not been traveling, if you've not put your rear end on an airplane,

and let's say you're based in Northern Europe, let's say you're based in the States,

if you have not got on a plane and gone somewhere to Asia yet,

what in the hell is wrong with you? Seriously, you might have a problem. You have no excuse. Zero excuse.

It's about a 12-hour flight from either Washington or New York to Tokyo, you could stop there,

and from there it's another five to seven hours

to just about anywhere else in Asia.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that sounds like a long time

you're saying to yourself, guess what?

Most people are sitting around watching 15, 20 hours
