Stories With Stewman

What the hell is happening to the world?

In Episode 20 of Stories with Stewman, Ryan takes on one of his biggest theories yet: are the wars, trade battles, military moves and shifting alliances we're watching around the globe separate events—or signs that the world is being reorganized right in front of us?

Ryan breaks down his perspective on the escalating conflicts involving the United States and Iran, Russia and Ukraine, China, Greenland, global trade routes and what he believes could eventually become a world dominated by a handful of major supe...

Ryan breaks down his numbers on what it costs a household to live in major U.S. cities, the growing gap between wages and expenses, what's happening in the housing market, and why he believes the financial pressure on the average American is only beginning.

What happens when the rules keep changing every time ordinary people start gaining ground?

In Episode 17 of Stories with Stewman, Ryan connects the dots between media narratives, social media algorithms, food independence, banking, ranching, government regulation, and the growing dependence Americans have on systems they don't control.

From a group of ranchers attempting to purchase a major meat-processing facility, to the reality that most Americans couldn't survive long without a grocery store, Ryan challenges the idea that we're as independent as we think we are.

The Great Reset will not arrive with an announcement. According to Ryan Stewman, it is already unfolding right in front of us.
