In this podcast, we explore what may become Elon Musk’s most disruptive leap yet: a sustainable blockchain alternative, purpose-built to align with his sustainability ethos, and designed to scale xAI past a $1 trillion valuation by 2030.

Today, we unpack a seismic shift in business valuation that’s reshaping everything in 2025. This episode is called “Intangible Assets Revolutionize Business Valuation: Wisdom Trumps Knowledge.” You’re about to hear why traditional approaches no longer work and why wisdom—not just accounting knowledge—is the key to accurately valuing modern businesses.

Today, I want to step away from the policies and power plays, and instead take a closer look—at heart level—at two titans of modern leadership: Donald J. Trump and Mark J. Carney. One a builder from Queens turned U.S. President. The other a banker from Edmonton turned Prime Minister of Canada. Both are headline-makers.

Let’s look at two very different employment stories from April 2025. In the United States, we saw a strong performance: 177,000 new jobs added, handily beating the Dow Jones forecast of 133,000. Unemployment held steady at 4.2%, showing resilience—even in the face of global tariff tensions.

Welcome to today’s episode where we take a close look at how the U.S. Small Business Administration is leading the charge in financing the real drivers of business value—intangibles—while Canadian banks continue to put up walls. Let’s get into it.

Today’s podcast unpacks a major development: President Donald Trump’s U.S.-Ukraine minerals deal, signed April 30, 2025. We’ll look at how this historic agreement secures economic prosperity, boosts American global influence, and aligns with the Eric Jordan “25 Factors Affecting Business Valuation” methodology.

I’m Eric Jordan, CPPA—Business Valuator, writer, and founder of the “25 Factors Affecting Business Valuation” methodology.
Over 15 years as a business owner-operator shaped my approach, which prioritizes the real drivers of value in today’s economy—intangibles like trust, brand strength, and operational systems.
This episode is a deep dive into why my methodology is not only accurate, but uniquely aligned with Shariah principles—making it a powerful tool for Muslim entrepreneurs in Canada, the U.S., and across the Islamic world.

I’m Gil, a 5 Senses Inspection Specialist, and I’m joined by Eric Jordan, CPPA, to talk about how to properly value a new and used tire shop in an average Canadian city.
