Fresh from unbuckling their seatbelts on the Gliding Guru luxury jet and mooring the show's mega-yacht, our decoders are feeling an unexpected surge of empathy for their last decoding subject, Gary Stevenson. It turns out that a bit of jet-lagged decadence really hones one's sensitivity to wealth inequality. Or maybe it's just the natural response to voluntarily subjecting yourself to the truly insufferable world of the All-In podcast.That's right, this week you can vibe to the philosophical musings of a couple of Silicon Valley moguls, Chamath Palihapitiya, David Sacks, Jason Calacanis, and David Friedberg or as they call themselves: the Dictator, the Rainman, the Moderator, and the Sultan (yes, really).Revel in their tales of private jets, $500K club memberships, and their noble quest to cut food stamps while engaging in hyper-elitist MAGA cheerleading. Plug in for a first-class tour through cognitive dissonance, private-jet populism, and your regular prescription of alternative media grievance mongering and conspiracy hypothesising.Perfect for anyone who enjoys listening to the top 0.01% share their insights and deep connection with the common man's struggles.

It's easy for entrepreneurs to ignore the numbers when they feel overwhelming or confusing—but that avoidance comes at a cost. Financial disorganization doesn't just create stress; it can quietly sabotage growth, decision-making, and long-term stability. You can have a great product, a strong team, and real momentum, but if your finances are a mess, it all starts to crack underneath. The scariest part is how long the damage can go unnoticed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0xjIeE8c5g Chris Hervochon is a CPA and CVA who runs Better Numbers, a firm that helps entrepreneurs make smarter financial decisions. He works with businesses earning $500K to $5M, offering bookkeeping, tax support, and strategy.

What if the only thing standing between you and a massive income jump was your mindset? In this episode, I walk you through the real-life transformation of one of my students, who went from juggling multiple part-time jobs and drowning in debt to landing a $500,000 per year position. Her story is more than just about money—it's about reclaiming confidence, cutting loose the things that held her back, and stepping boldly into a new season of life.   We explore the three core shifts that led to her breakthrough: investing in herself, releasing dead weight (financial and emotional), and embracing a mindset of abundance. I also open up about my own recent family and business struggles to remind you that growth often comes disguised as adversity.

1. 500K Bitcoin Predictions & Market SentimentThe crew discussed the recent wave of bullish sentiment led by industry voices like Adam Back, Bitfinex analysts, and Vibes Capital. Adam Back predicts $500K–$1M this cycle, while Vibes Capital cites $100B in anticipated corporate treasury demand plus potential U.S. government Bitcoin buys. With consistent ETF inflows, particularly BlackRock's IBIT, and support levels holding near $100K, sentiment is peaking.2. Treasury Demand & Speculative Attack NarrativeMicroStrategy's playbook is now being followed by a growing list of public firms using debt and equity to acquire Bitcoin. The panel emphasized this as a "speculative attack" on fiat—unlocking Bitcoin exposure for capital pools that can't hold spot BTC directly. With more than 500,000 BTC already under corporate control, the race is on.3. Coinbase Hack: $400M FalloutA major hack at Coinbase leaked sensitive customer data (names, addresses, partial SSNs, balances, and IDs). While no private keys were exposed, the breach raised concerns about platform risk. The team praised Coinbase's $20M bounty offer but reiterated the importance of security hygiene and moving to self-custody solutions like Swan Vault.4. Digital Scarcity & FT FiascoFinancial Times drew ire for downplaying Bitcoin's innovation, comparing it to teeth. The panel explained how Bitcoin solved digital scarcity using proof-of-work and decentralized consensus. Lynn Alden's and Pierre Rochard's responses underscored the persistent misunderstanding from legacy media.5. Macroeconomics & Treasury PolicyThe group reviewed new U.S. spending legislation further widening deficits—echoing the "Nothing Stops This Train" meme. Tariff-driven inflation, CPI surprises, and Walmart's price hikes were also covered, with mixed views on future inflation trajectories.6. Global Adoption & Corporate MomentumRecent sovereign and institutional moves included Chinese and Indian firms acquiring BTC, 21.co's big buy, and Abu Dhabi's sovereign fund adding exposure. Meanwhile, Swan's own CIO Ben Workman emphasized the moral and fiduciary pressure mounting on corporate leaders to explore Bitcoin treasuries. Swan Private helps HNWI, companies, trusts, and other entities go beyond legacy finance with BItcoin. Learn more at swan.com/private. Put Bitcoin into your IRA and own your future.

Funding Your PT Clinic Expansion: SBA Loans vs. Lines of Credit Thinking about expanding your clinic but unsure how to finance it? In this episode, Doc Danny breaks down the two most common and effective ways to fund growth: lines of credit and SBA expansion loans.

It feels like every week Denverites are grappling with some shocking new way that President Trump is using the power of the federal government to reshape life here in the Mile High. This week, it's art. Trump's National Endowment for the Arts cut almost a half-million dollars in previously awarded grants last Friday to 22 local arts organizations, including the Denver Art Museum and Su Teatro, because their programs didn't conform with the president's new “priorities.” So host Bree Davies is talking to Youth on Record executive director and veteran arts fundraiser Jami Duffy about the impact on the local arts community, how much leverage Trump really has, and how the local arts world is pushing back in all different ways.  In response to Trump's NEA grant cuts, the Bonfils-Stanton Foundation announced this week a new 2025 Arts & Culture Rapid Response Grant program to help make up the shortfall for the local organizations that lost money.  What do you think?

Acting pastor Rev.

Today on the Wholesale Hotline Podcast (Flipping Mastery Edition), Jerry Norton takes the Squad Summit stage in front of 3,500 people and lands a live seller call that drops from a $500K ask to a $350K cash offer—in under 10 minutes. Show notes -- in this episode we'll cover: Jerry walks through his “low anchor” strategy, where he leads with a vague, ultra-low offer that prompts the seller to negotiate against themselves by $150K. Jerry reveals why jumping straight to price on PPL (pay-per-lead) calls builds instant authority, filters out tire-kickers, and leads to faster, more qualified conversations. Learn how Jerry builds seller trust through transparency and authority, locking in sight-unseen contracts with honest due diligence contingencies. The Squad Summit panel breaks down why PPL compresses time, boosts close rates, and is ideal for investors with full-time jobs or scaling teams who want better conversations—not more calls.    Please give us a rating and let us know how we are doing! ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖  ☎️ Welcome to Wholesale Hotline & Flipping Mastery Breakout! ☎️ Jerry Norton went from digging holes for minimum wage in his mid 20's to becoming a millionaire by the age of 30.

Reports indicate that Sean "Diddy" Combs allegedly spent approximately $500,000 on a "Freak Off" party in the early 2000s, which included redecorating a room in his mansion with hundreds of mirrors on the walls and ceiling to enhance the viewing experience of the event. These gatherings were characterized by extravagant expenditures on high-end food, expensive alcohol, dancers, acrobats, and sometimes live animals, contributing to the overall cost. The parties reportedly featured explicit activities, with the mirrored room designed to reflect the events occurring within.In our second segment...In November 2024, DeWitt Gilmore filed a lawsuit against Sean "Diddy" Combs and his bodyguards, alleging that they physically assaulted him outside a New York City nightclub in the summer of 1996. According to Gilmore, after exiting the club, Combs and his entourage confronted him, leading to a verbal altercation that escalated when armed members of Combs' group blocked his car and fired shots. Gilmore claims he and his friends narrowly escaped the scene by accelerating through traffic. Combs' representatives have dismissed the allegations as "pure fiction," expressing confidence that the judicial process will reveal the truth.(commercial at 9:05)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Exclusive | Diddy redecorated room with hundreds of mirrors for $500K 'Freak Off'source:Diddy sued by man for 1996 physical assault outside club

Don records this Q&A episode a bit early—right before heart surgery—to make sure listeners don't miss their Friday dose. He kicks off with a listener confused by a boilerplate $50 foreign stock fee warning on a Fidelity Zero fund (spoiler: it doesn't apply). Another caller is teetering on the edge of retirement viability with $500K, pensions, and Social Security—Don offers honest thoughts on withdrawal flexibility and why waiting on SSI might be wise. Then comes a takedown of Wealthfront's direct indexing for small investors (aka “gimmickry”), a nuanced answer about annuitizing a pension vs. taking the lump sum, and finally, a nearly microscopic comparison of IXUS vs. VEU for international exposure.

Fear that early retirement is out of the question because you have too much debt? It's not game over. Whether you're debt-free or still chipping away at your student loans, today's guests are proof that FIRE is never too far out of reach—even if you've got half a million dollars in debt! Welcome back to the BiggerPockets Money podcast! Amirra and Mazi Condelee's first date was an all-timer. While many consider personal finance a taboo topic, they cut right to the money talk—specifically, debt. And it was a good thing they did because they've racked up a combined $500,000 in student debt. Most would assume this spells doom for financial independence, but Amirra and Mazi knew they could pay it off by increasing their income, cutting costs, and staying disciplined. In just five years, they've snowballed out of student loan debt and toward their long-term goal—retiring in their 50s. Now that this power couple is nearly debt-free, they're focused on saving for retirement. Tune in to learn what they still need to do to reach their (high) FIRE number, why they refuse to downsize their dreams, and how they plan to spend their retirement! In This Episode We Cover How Amirra and Mazi crushed $500,000 in student loan debt in just five years Best practices for paying off debt and fast-tracking financial independence How to determine whether your FIRE number is too high (or low!) The money conversations you and your partner NEED to have How to “travel hack” your way to FREE vacations (without spending more) And So Much More!
