Michael Farris hosts the Coffee and a Mike program, a long-form interview series that examines the intersections of global finance, geopolitics, and socio-economic cycles. He provides a platform for specialized experts, such as Cornell Professor Dave Collum and former BlackRock manager Ed Dowd, to discuss topics ranging from currency resets to the Fourth Turning theory. His content recently tackled high-stakes international developments in a noteworthy series regarding the Strait of Hormuz and its impact on global energy infrastructure. By positioning himself as an inquisitive investigator rather than a traditional pundit, Farris explores alternative perspectives on technocracy and institutional transparency. His professional yet conversational format translates complex intelligence and academic analysis into actionable insights for audiences focused on economic resilience and historical patterns. This approach has integrated his work into a broader network of independent journalists and financial analysts who prioritize supply chain security and sovereign wealth management over mainstream narratives.
