Episode 3158: James Altucher draws a powerful parallel between winning at chess and successful investing: both hinge on consistently building tiny advantages. From choosing debt-free companies with strong cash reserves to aligning with demographic trends, he reveals how small, smart moves compound into big wins, without relying on flashy predictions or risky gambles. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://jamesaltucher.com/blog/what-makes-some-stocks-safer/ Quotes to ponder: "Basically, accumulate tiny advantages throughout the game." "If a company has a lot of cash in the bank and no debt, then it's not going to file bankruptcy anytime soon." "The goal is to find that very unique combination of stocks that could go up quite a bit that also have a good margin of safety around them."

In this episode, Dr. Doug Lucas and Sarah Glicken delved into the complexities of bone health, emphasizing its crucial role in longevity. Dr. Doug noted that while osteoporosis is often seen as a condition affecting older adults, its roots can be traced back to earlier life stages, making early intervention vital. They shared the limitations of DEXA scans, particularly their inability to assess bone quality, and why they advocate for the use of REMS technology, which offers a more comprehensive evaluation by assessing bone density and microarchitecture. We also touched upon the potential dangers of conventional bone medications, such as bisphosphonates, which can lead to side effects like jaw necrosis and atypical fractures. They emphasized the importance of exploring alternative therapies that focus on lifestyle modifications that include osteogenic loading and supplementation such as vitamin K2 and vitamin D3 (not calcium!) This episode serves as a comprehensive guide for individuals seeking to understand and improve their bone health through informed choices and proactive measures.Dr. Doug Lucas is a double board-certified orthopedic surgeon turned osteoporosis specialist on a mission to show the world that osteoporosis is preventable and reversible. As the VP of Women's Health, Hormone and Lifestyle Optimization at LifeMD and the creator of The OsteoCollective, he empowers individuals to optimize bone health, hormones, and HealthSpan through classic and cutting-edge strategies.Sarah Glicken is the co-founder of Precision Bone Imaging, a company dedicated to shifting the narrative around aging—starting with skeletal health. Using REMS ultrasound technology, PBI provides radiation-free, highly accurate bone scans that help people take proactive steps toward long-term strength and resilience. Sarah also owns multiple OsteoStrong centers in Los Angeles, where members use science-backed osteogenic loading to strengthen bones, joints, and muscles in just minutes a week.

Over the years there has been a large change in retirement fund regulation, adding a significant burden to the administration process for smaller businesses – Niki Giles, Prescient Fund Services.
Mutual Funds are often seen as the McDonalds of the investment world. They are ubiquitous and convenient, and yet, they are seen to lack the prestige of a fine dining experience aka Private Equity et al. In this episode, we take on the big question: Are mutual funds only for the salaried middle class, or is there a bigger story here? Deepak and Shray dive deep into the history and perception of mutual funds, from their once-exclusive status to becoming the go-to vehicle for SIPs and forced savings. But why don't you hear family offices or the ultra-wealthy proudly boasting about their mutual fund holdings? We explore this through the lens of economic class distinctions (India A, B, and C) and unpack how perceptions of exclusivity and quality affect investment choices. Whether you're planning for retirement, your child's education, or just wondering if your portfolio is too “plain vanilla,” this is a conversation that will make you rethink how you view mutual funds. -- 0:00 – Intro 3:29 – Choosing Exclusivity Over Simplicity 7:34 – Volatility Laundering 20:32 – Liquidity in University Endowment Funds 31:49 – Alternative Investments 38:58 – Mutual Funds vs Other Investments 44:12 – Why not hire a personal fund manager? 48:04 – Advantages and Disadvantages of Mutual Funds 1:12:26 – Use cases for Mutual Funds 1:22:41 – Who are Mutual Funds not for? -- More about us: https://cm.social/pms Connect with us : https://cm.social/pms-connect Deepak's Twitter: @deepakshenoy Shray's Twitter: @shraychandra Capitalmind Twitter: @capitalmind_in
Real Estate Investing With Jay Conner, The Private Money Authority
***Guest AppearanceCredits to:https://www.youtube.com/@mymenrichard "Private Money Lending with Jay Conner"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTl7M1X3qb4 When it comes to scaling a real estate investing business, one of the biggest challenges investors face is sourcing reliable funding. Traditional routes—think bank loans and institutional finance—often come with red tape, long waits, and restrictive requirements. In a recent Raising Private Money podcast with Richard Lesperance and Jay Conner, they cracked open the secrets of raising private money—a game-changing alternative for investors looking to close more deals, faster and with greater flexibility.What is Private Money?Put simply, private money refers to funding provided by individual investors rather than banks or hard money lenders. Jay highlights a key distinction: while hard money lenders act as intermediaries between investors and funds, private lenders are direct, one-on-one relationships. These individuals use their liquid capital or retirement accounts (often through self-directed IRAs) to passively invest in real estate, earning a healthy return while the borrower benefits from quick, customizable funding.Jay's Journey from Banks to Private MoneyJay shares his own story: after years of relying on banks, his line of credit was suddenly cut off during the 2008 financial crisis, leaving him scrambling. This “problem” forced him to look for solutions outside the conventional system. A friend introduced him to the concept of private money, and within 90 days, Jay raised over $2 million in new funding—without ever asking for money directly.The secret? Jay adopted the role of a teacher. Instead of pitching or selling, he educated potential lenders about how private money works and the advantages it offered. This educational approach attracted 47 private lenders (and counting), many of whom had never heard of private lending or realized their retirement accounts could be used in this way. Where to Find Private LendersJay breaks it down into three main categories:Your Warm Market: Friends, family, colleagues, and contacts in your phone and social networks.Expanded Network: Connections made through networking, real estate events, and referrals.Existing Private Lenders: Individuals already lending to other investors, often found at self-directed IRA company networking events.According to Jay, over 70% of self-directed IRA holders are interested in loaning money to real estate investors, making these events rich ground for connection.Advantages of Using Private MoneyThe benefits, as Jay enthusiastically outlines, are many:Control: The borrower sets the terms—interest rate, payment frequency, and loan-to-value ratio.Speed: With no bank bureaucracy, deals can close in as little as seven days—a major advantage in a competitive market.No Application Hassles: No credit score checks or drawn-out approval processes.Unlimited Potential: Unlike banks, there's no cap on how much private money you can access or how many deals you fund.Attractive Returns for Lenders: Lenders earn solid, secured returns (often much better than a local bank), creating a true win-win.Is it Safe?Investor and lender protection is paramount. Jay describes several safeguards:Funds are wired directly to the attorney or title company's escrow account, never to the investor personally.Each loan is secured by a mortgage or deed of trust, never unsecured.A conservative loan-to-value (typically 75% of after-repair value) ensures a cushion for market fluctuations.Lenders are listed on insu
In this episode, we interview Christina Campero, an entrepreneurial force behind Prosperia, a tech startup focused on AI in healthcare. Christina discusses her professional journey, moving from a background in bioscience and healthcare consulting to co-founding Prosperia. The startup uses AI to scan retina images for early detection of diabetic retinopathy and other eye diseases, a crucial service in Mexico due to a high prevalence of diabetes and limited access to ophthalmologists. The conversation covers the development process of their AI model, partnerships with primary healthcare touchpoints, and the advantages of operating in Mexico. They also explore the challenges and breakthroughs in fundraising for a Latin American AI healthcare startup, including securing a seed round from a Swedish fund. The episode ends with a look at Prosperia's future goals, including expanding their AI applications to detect other health conditions. If your company is looking to scale its AI initiatives, head over to Tesoro AI (www.tesoroai.com). We are experts in AI strategy, staff augmentation, and AI product development. Founder Bio: Cristina Campero graduated from the Faculty of Chemistry of the UNAM with a Master's Degree in Bioscience Enterprise from the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom. She has dedicated her professional career to the transformation of ideas into commercial products with an impact on health, starting in her career as a consultant at McKinsey & Company and in start-ups, first as an Associate in business development and strategy at Wren Therapeutics (in Cambridge UK ) where she was in charge of portfolio prioritization and funding (£18M Series A in Dec. 2018), and now as CEO of PROSPERiA.

Today's Scripture: 1 Samuel 17:38–51 In this episode, Pastor David Sumrall draws a powerful lesson from David's victory over Goliath: the unseen advantages God has already placed in your life are often the key to your breakthrough. David didn't fight with what he wished he had—he used what he knew as a shepherd. The sling, overlooked by Goliath, was the very tool that brought victory. Pastor Sumrall reminds us to stop striving to be someone we're not and start recognizing the power in who we are right now.

[7] It's not important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What's important is that God makes the seed grow. [8] The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work. We are all called to PLANT seeds of faith, but God is in charge of making them GROW.[2 Timothy 2:1-2] Timothy, my dear son, be strong through the grace that God gives you in Christ Jesus.

In this episode of the AppleVis Podcast, Gaurav returns with Lesson 7 in the ongoing series on mastering Numbers, Apple's free spreadsheet app for Mac.This lesson focuses on organizing data efficiently in Apple Numbers. Unlike Excel's single-grid layout, Numbers offers a more flexible, canvas-like approach where multiple tables can coexist on a single sheet. Gaurav demonstrates how to manage tables for different quarters of budget data, making it easier to structure and access your information.Key Concepts CoveredUnderstanding Tables in NumbersNumbers allows multiple tables per sheet, treating each sheet as a flexible workspaceDistinct from Excel's traditional grid-based formatUsing the Sheet NavigatorAccess the window spots menu with VO + UNavigate through and interact with sheetsRename, duplicate, or delete tables as neededWorking with Multiple TablesAdd multiple tables to a single sheetUse VO and arrow keys to move between themRename each table for clarity and structureManaging Tables EffectivelyCustomize titles and captionsRemove unnecessary rows and columnsOrganize data by period (e.g., Quarter 1, Quarter 2)Advantages of Using Multiple TablesQuickly shift between distinct data setsEnhance visual clarity, especially for sighted usersTranscriptDisclaimer: This transcript was generated by AI Note Taker – VoicePen, an AI-powered transcription app. It is not edited or formatted, and it may not accurately capture the speakers' names, voices, or content.Gaurav: Okay folks, so in this lesson we are going to discuss about tables. Now tables are different tables you can have on your sheet in Numbers. And what you want to understand is that unlike Microsoft Excel, Numbers doesn't treat each sheet as a massive grid. It instead treats it like a blank canvas where you can have multiple tables. In Excel, it is treated as one massive grid.Gaurav: Now I'll show you what I mean by that and why it's useful to work with various tables on your canvas on a sheet in Numbers. So I'm back on my Numbers table. I'm going to hit VO plus U for umbrella to open the window spots menu.GauravVoiceOver: Sheet navigator tab group.

Did you know that simply tracking your steps each day can double your chances of reaching your weight loss goals? In this episode, I explored how digital tech tools like fitness trackers, heart rate monitors, smart scales, continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), streaming fitness apps, and sleep tech can support your weight loss journey. I shared personal experiences using devices like the Fitbit, Apple Watch, and Garmin, emphasizing how they helped me stay accountable and understand my body's needs better. From real-time data on your activity and heart rate to insights on your sleep and glucose levels, these tools offer valuable support—but they're not without downsides, such as cost, data accuracy, and the risk of obsession. Ultimately, I encouraged picking one or two tools based on your biggest challenges and reminded my listeners that while tech can help, real progress still depends on showing up and staying consistent. Tune in to discover which digital tools can supercharge your weight loss journey and help you stay on track effortlessly!

What Are Bitcoin Bonds vs. Traditional Bonds? A new twist with crypto #wealth #business #freedomSummary:Bitcoin bonds combine fixed returns with the potential for Bitcoin's growth. By tying a portion of our investment to BTC, investors may decrease our reliance on fiat money. These bonds are experimental, providing potential upside but also increased risk. While traditional bonds provide stability, they do not protect against inflation.At the end of today's talk, we will cover our bonus question: What Are Benefits Of The Economic Booms? The basics of investing should be learned right now.What are Bitcoin Bonds? Although a Bitcoin bond is similar to a conventional bond, there is a twist. We may still lend money in exchange for fixed returns, but now, a portion of our return is dependent on the future performance of Bitcoin.A Bitcoin bond might include a tiny percentage of BTC, such as just 1%, that pays out in Bitcoin when the bond matures, rather than backing the bond entirely with fiat currency like USD. Essentially, it is a hybrid that combines traditional and cryptocurrency elements and can earn interest quickly. To provide some background, the BitBond idea was proposed on Twitter by Brian Estes, CIO of Off the Chain Capital. This is how it operates:A bond with a 0% coupon is issued by the U.S. Treasury, but 1% of its worth is included in Bitcoin and the remaining 99% in USD. If there is considerable demand, the bond will sell for more than its face value. With no debt service, that would provide the government a favorable cash flow. We, the bondholder, receive the Bitcoin kicker along with our principal upon maturity. Ideally, that's how it would operate.What distinguishes Bitcoin bonds from conventional bonds?Bitcoin Bonds are very similar to traditional bonds, with the exception that they include an extra element of BTC mixed with fiat to serve as a kind of collateral intended to counteract inflation and the reduction in dollar purchasing power. This is how it would function: Like in the traditional bond market, our fixed-income investment provides exposure to Bitcoin. We don't rely solely on fiat currency, which depreciates in purchasing power annually. We leverage blockchain transparency rather than the bureaucracy of traditional finance. We take on more risk because Bitcoin's price may fluctuate significantly. Certainly, these things may sound well, but these bonds are not flawless, thus appropriate risk management should be considered. Although a Bitcoin bond has the potential for upside growth, it is a highly unpredictable asset that requires more study, self-control, and a long-term perspective. It truly depends on our individual financial objectives. Staying in the conventional bond market makes more sense if we are playing it safe and simply looking for stability. However, Bitcoin digital bonds give us the chance to accumulate money when fiat currency is continuously devalued. They combine the well-known fixed-income framework with Bitcoin's long-term potential. Holding both is also an option. Maintain conventional bonds for our stability and include Bitcoin bonds as a speculative yet strategic component of our investing portfolio. However, be sure to get expert advice and do our homework on this. Bitcoin bonds have a number of benefits, including: We acquire Bitcoin with a long-term horizon without making an outright purchase. Instead of the typical bond market, we still receive a structured bond product with a maturity date. If there is a lot of demand, governments might sell these bonds for more than their face value, which is beneficial to taxpayers. Advantages of Bitcoin Bonds Blockchain technology provides us with traceability and transparency.Disadvantages of Bitcoin Bonds Bitcoin's extreme volatility may have a negative impact on our overall return.

"It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the wind!" Many a North Dakotan has lamented the state's well-known whirlwinds—and for good reason. North Dakota is relatively flat, with few natural formations to block the wind. So, it's no surprise that the weather has been a topic of interest in newspapers since the region became a state.

Today, Jeff Harty and Drew Hirshfeld talk about the potential impact of the DOGE advisory board on the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Their conversation covers how the office is funded and how the USPTO maintains productivity and handles the large backlog of patent applications. They also discuss the impact of the return-to-office executive order and the importance of hiring the best talent as patent examiners, wherever they're based.In this episode, Jeff Harty and Drew Hirshfeld discuss: The impact of the DOGE advisory board on the USPTO.Advantages of having a clear prosecution record in patent cases.How the hiring freeze and the return-to-office executive order affect those at the USPTO.Extensive productivity reports for USPTO examiners.The crossroads facing the USPTO.Key Takeaways: Those with senior roles at the USPTO often have two main goals: to improve the quality of work and to improve pendency—getting results of patent decisions to the applicants faster.If an examiner is clear as to why they are making decisions and an applicant can see what the examiner is doing, it is easier to understand what is happening. When it is not clear, the examiner and applicant can talk past each other, and that is where discrepancies will happen. Allowing for telework and work from home allows the USPTO to recruit top talent from around the country, not just in the immediate area of the office. The USPTO is unique in that it is entirely funded by user fees, not federal tax dollars.“I think that the USPTO's best quality initiative is its telework program, its ability for people to work at home, because you're able to choose people from a pool that's across the country now, as opposed to just in the Alexandria, Virginia, area.” —Drew HirshfeldAbout Drew Hirshfeld: Hirshfeld was a long-tenured employee of the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and was named one of Managing IP's Top 50 Most Influential People in IP in 2021 (Managing IP is part of the Euromoney Institutional Investor PLC group). Hirshfeld began his career at the USPTO as a patent examiner in 1994 and has held a variety of senior management positions. He was named Commissioner for Patents in 2015 and performed the functions and duties of the Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the USPTO from January 2021 to April 2022. Most recently,Hirshfeld served as Acting Deputy Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Acting Deputy Director.Hirshfeld now brings his wealth of patent prosecution and litigation experience to Schwegman Lundberg & Woessner. His achievements included leading the USPTO's response to the Supreme Court's 2021 Arthrex decision by implementing a new process for director review of final written decisions from the USPTO's Patent Trial and Appeal Board; serving on the USPTO's Precedential Opinion Panel to decide issues of exceptional importance to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board; and overseeing extensive patent prosecution training for patent examiners and members of the public.While performing the functions and duties of the Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the USPTO, Hirshfeld was responsible for more than 13,000 employees and an annual budget of more than $4 billion. He was also responsible for all USPTO functions related to the examination and issuance of all patents. In addition, he championed the USPTO's mentoring program.Outside of work, Hirshfeld and his wife have three daughters. He enjoys woodworking to make things for his family, including an acoustic guitar, kitchen cabinets, and furniture.Connect with Drew Hirshfeld: Website: slwip.com Email: ahirshfeld@slwip.com LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/drew-hirshfeld Connect with Jeff Harty: Website: nyemaster.com/attorney-directory/jeffrey-d-hartyEmail: jharty@nyemaster.comLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jeff-harty-5a9a1643

Brookfield CEO Bruce Flatt reveals the investment philosophy behind building one of the world's largest alternative asset managers with over a trillion dollars under management. At the core of Brookfield's strategy is a disciplined focus on downside protection that has delivered 19% annualized returns over 30 years. Flatt identifies three major trends driving their investments: digitalization (including AI infrastructure), global energy transition, and reindustrialization as supply chains shift. The conversation explores Brookfield's approach to risk management, their expansion into insurance, and their meritocratic culture. When Shane presses for clarity on Brookfield's complex corporate structure, Flatt provides rare insights into how the organization's design creates both operational flexibility and investment opportunities. What separates Brookfield from competitors? Patient capital: the discipline to wait for extraordinary opportunities and the financial strength to act when others can't. If you want to understand how the smartest capital allocators think and what it takes to build something enduring, this episode is essential listening.
