Dan Nathan sits down with Imran Khan, CIO and founder of Proem Asset Management, to break down one of the wildest weeks in tech earnings. They dig into Nvidia's latest quarter and why the stock keeps trading well below the market multiple despite the growth — and make the bull case for why that's about to change. From there: the increasingly circular web of financing between Nvidia, OpenAI, Microsoft, and CoreWeave, why OpenAI is building a chip to compete with its own biggest investor, and what Imran learned on a recent trip to South Korea about the memory market (Micron, SK Hynix, and the trade that's already up huge). They also unpack Salesforce's surprise post-earnings pop after Marc Benioff and Anthropic's Dario Amodei sat down with Jim Cramer, and close out with the question everyone's asking: are we in an AI bubble, and if so, who's left holding the bag?

Dan Nathan sits down with Matt Turck, Managing Director at First Mark Capital and creator of the annual MAD (Machine Learning, AI & Data) Landscape, for a wide-ranging look at where AI investing stands right now. They cover the power-law dynamics driving venture dollars to a handful of companies, why Nvidia is starting to look like "the bank" of the AI industry, Anthropic's surge past $65 billion in revenue and its first profitable quarter, and how OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, and Meta are each positioning for what comes next. The conversation turns philosophical with a discussion of AGI, superintelligence, and the idea that Altman, Musk, and Amodei are all, in their own ways, trying to build God — before closing with a deep dive into China's AI progress, open source, and the robotics race. Matt also talks about his own podcast, The MAD Podcast, and his Data Driven NYC event series.

He was the bruiser of Wall Street. In the early noughties, New York attorney-general Eliot Spitzer took it upon himself to expose the lies of stock analysts during the dotcom bubble. His crusade blindsided the bankers and made him one of America's most popular politicians. People even spoke of him as a possible US president before a scandal ended his political career almost overnight. In this episode of The Story of Money, host Gillian Tett speaks to Brooke Masters, FT US managing editor and author of Spoiling for a Fight: The Rise of Eliot Spitzer, to explore how Spitzer reshaped financial regulation during the dotcom era, why his aggressive tactics won both admirers and enemies and why his legacy still matters today.Further reading:Spoiling for a Fight: The Rise of Eliot Spitzer, (2006), Brooke MastersCredits: Getty ImagesLove listening to The Story of Money?

In this episode host Brett King and Paolo Sironi, host of Breaking Banks’ sister podcast The Bankers’ Bookshelf, speak with Pal Krogdahl, author of Rip Out the Core—an essential guide for anyone wrestling with the stubborn realities of banking core modernization. Despite massive investments, many institutions still face overruns, delays, and outcomes that leave them no stronger than before. Sparked by a flooded kitchen that perfectly mirrored the chaos of real-world banking transformation programs, Pal's book shifts the lens from pure technology to organization, showing that lasting change is impossible without adapting how people work. Pal speaks to banking executives and transformation leaders tired of endless patching, converting hard-won industry experience into precise, actionable steps that finally deliver meaningful business value. Join as the trio unpack why core modernization so often fails, how organizational design must evolve alongside systems, and the practical path to progress that stops the cycle of frustration once and for all.

Families lose wealth because they inherit money without inheriting the system that created it. Every successful business follows a proven framework. Yet most families manage millions of dollars with no written system, no roadmap, and no governance. In this episode, Seth Hicks and Vance Lowe explain why building a successful Family Bank isn’t simply about accumulating capital—it’s about creating rules, accountability, regular reviews, and a disciplined strategy that protects wealth for generations. You’ll discover: Why every Family Bank needs a clear risk framework How 90-day reviews accelerate financial growth The difference between family lending and true family banking Why disciplined systems outperform emotional decisions If your goal is permanent family wealth instead of temporary financial success, this episode provides the blueprint.

The financial sector didn't just enable Jeffrey Epstein—they fortified him. For decades, elite institutions like JPMorgan Chase continued to do business with Epstein long after his 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor, ignoring internal warnings, compliance red flags, and credible allegations of abuse. High-ranking executives maintained close relationships, funneled vast sums through opaque accounts, and even joked about his grotesque proclivities in internal emails. Bankers helped him move millions across borders, granted him access to ultra-wealthy clients, and never asked the kind of questions they would demand from an average customer depositing a suspicious $10,000. These weren't oversights—they were decisions. Deliberate, profitable, and saturated with moral rot.At every turn, the financial institutions chose profit over principle. They ignored the trail of victims, the mountain of press coverage, and the glaring signs of criminality, all in exchange for Epstein's connections and capital. Even as civil suits piled up and survivors came forward, these firms were more concerned with protecting their reputations than cutting ties with a known predator. The result wasn't just a financial scandal—it was systemic complicity. The banks didn't just launder his money. They laundered his legitimacy, allowing him to continue operating as a global financier, when in truth he was running an empire built on exploitation and secrecy.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Executive Summary Wade Borth revisits Robert Kiyosaki's Cashflow Quadrants and picks up a thread the book never finishes: every quadrant, employee, self-employed, business owner, or investor, still depends on a bank. Wade argues the real shift isn't earning more new money, it's taking permanent control of the old money already flowing through your life. He lays out how a properly structured whole life policy lets you step into the banking function yourself.   Key Takeaways Every side of Kiyosaki's Cashflow Quadrant, employee, self-employed, business owner, or investor, still runs through a bank somewhere. Most people chase new money instead of gaining control of the old money already passing through their hands. Nelson Nash's Becoming Your Own Banker hinges on one word: becoming. It's a shift in thinking before it's a shift in dollars. A properly structured whole life policy lets you use the insurance company's money, not your own, while your cash value keeps compounding. Wade's exercise: of every dollar that will ever flow through your life, how much do you want permanent control over? Links and Resources Sage Wealth Strategy: sagewealthstrategy.com Keywords Cashflow Quadrant, infinite banking concept, be your own banker, whole life insurance, cash value, policy loans, permanent control of money, family banking, guaranteed asset, generational wealth, financial liquidity, liquidity bucket, Nelson Nash, Robert Kiyosaki, Sage Wealth Strategy, Wade Borth podcast, old money vs new money, banking function, mutual carrier, dry powder Episode Highlights [00:02:00 - 00:03:00]  Wade unpacks Nelson Nash's core lesson: the real challenge in Becoming Your Own Banker is who you need to become. [00:04:00 - 00:05:00]  Wade breaks down why Kiyosaki never fully explains where whole life insurance fits inside the Cashflow Quadrant. [00:06:00 - 00:07:00]  Wade explains why banks sit in the middle of every transaction, profiting whether you're a saver or a borrower. [00:07:00 - 00:08:00]  The distinction between chasing new money and controlling the old money already in your hands. [00:08:00 - 00:09:00]  Wade lays out the shift: replace the banker in your life with yourself. [00:11:00 - 00:12:00]  Why policy loans let you use the insurance company's money instead of your own, while your cash value keeps growing. [00:16:00 - 00:17:00]  The $100,000 exercise: how much of the money that flows through your life should you actually control?

You might be more influenced by yuppie taste than you'd think.Back in the eighties – when pop music drowned in synths, the volume of everyone's hair was set to loud, and neon was in vogue – a new age dawned: the era of the yuppie. “Yuppie” comes from the acronym “YUP” – which stands for young, urban professional. Think Patrick Bateman from American Psycho or even Miranda Hobbes from Sex and the City. Nowadays, cities are full of young urban professionals, but this wasn't always the case. In his new book, Yuppies: the Bankers, Lawyers, Joggers and Gourmands Who Conquered New York, author Dylan Gottlieb argues that New York City was the first city to reorganize itself to cater to yuppies.  And it's not just cities that have changed. Yuppies have transformed our country's economy, politics, and culture, too.Brittany is joined by Dylan, assistant professor of history at Bentley University, to break down how yuppies catapulted us into our current moment.For more episodes on the history that explains our culture today, check out:How often do you think about the American Empire?Americans want a royal family.

Apologies for the double email this Sunday, but we have another Money Markets and More, in which I sit down with precious metals analyst and forecaster Ross Norman to discuss the precious, China and why he believes the forces driving the precious metals bull market are structural.You can either watch the video above, or listen via Apple Podcasts, Spotify et al.Ross has spent decades analysing the precious metals markets and has repeatedly won the LBMA's annual gold forecasting competition. Few people know the mechanics of the physical gold market better, which makes his perspective on what China and the world's central banks are doing particularly interesting.We also discuss whether gold could reach $7,000–$10,000 by the end of the decade, why Ross would favour silver with £100,000 to invest today, and his prediction that gold could once again become something people actually use as money.Follow Ross and Metals DailyThis video was brought to you by The Pure Gold Company: If you live in a third world country such as the UK, I urge you to own gold or silver. The pound will be further devalued, as will the euro and dollar. The bullion dealer I use and recommend is The Pure Gold Company. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe. More here.

Major Jonathan Wright is an active duty Air Force F-35 pilot who started his first policy in December 2023 and has been listening since episode one. Before the financial conversation, he walks through how he got here: growing up in Knoxville, following his father to Embry-Riddle, earning a fighter track slot at ENJJPT, and then giving up the F-16 he had wanted since childhood when a 24 hour window opened to become one of the first Air Force pilots to fly the Navy's EA-18G Growler. Two deployments later, including a Christmas Day flight of nearly nine hours, he transitioned to the F-35 and now flies red air at Nellis.Major Wright is candid about the hesitations, including his first assumption that IBC was a grift and the shock of routing that much of a paycheck into base premium and PUA. Four years in, the family holds five policies, and he walks through the four turnkey rental properties and the options account he funded with policy loans, the dividend that grows each year, and why he weights death benefit heavily with three kids at home. Chapters 00:00 – Opening segment 05:05 – Embry-Riddle, ROTC, and building hours for a pilot slot 09:50 – ENJJPT, NATO classmates, and selection for the F-16 13:25 – Trading the Viper for the Growler on 24 hours notice 16:10 – Al Udeid, jamming comms over Syria, and eight hour sorties 19:40 – Misawa, and the start of 2020 22:50 – The F-15C, F-22, F-16, and F-35 compared 32:55 – Congress, the Fed, and the defense contracting loop 35:00 – Navy versus Air Force squadron culture 38:15 – Call signs, and the story behind Bundy 43:45 – The 2019 flu shot and what happened that night 50:40 – The COVID czar, quarantine, and four weeks in a room 53:25 – Credibility, compliance, and what it cost 58:15 – The F-35 transition course and arriving at Eielson 59:25 – The mandate, the RAR, the LORs, and three months grounded 01:02:45 – Meeting Cassidy, marriage, and three kids 01:08:50 – Finding IBC and reading Nelson Nash 01:12:45 – The hesitations: premium, PUA, and "is this a Ponzi scheme?" 01:19:35 – Rental properties, options, and the dividend 01:23:15 – What his finances looked like before 01:26:00 – The gap between IBC and conventional planning 01:28:50 – Closing segmentKey TakeawaysThe debrief process is the through line of this episode. Fighter pilots take a problem, list every contributing factor, isolate the primary one, name a root cause, and produce a fix.Doors that open unexpectedly are worth walking through. Giving up the F-16 closed a lifelong goal but put him in a Navy squadron, then in the F-35 community, and eventually in the group chat where he met both his wife and this show. Being good with money by conventional standards is not the same as having a system. Before IBC, he maxed his TSP and his Roth IRA, carried no debt, and kept an emergency fund, and he would have passed any mainstream checkup with high marks.What he does now is layered rather than singular. The policies are the foundation, and the cash value funds rental properties and an options account while continuing to grow inside the contract. 

What if the biggest thing standing between you and your financial goals isn't money but your ability to imagine what's possible? In this episode, Russ and Joey continue their review of Nelson Nash's Becoming Your Own Banker by exploring a powerful lesson on imagination and why the ability to think creatively about your future could completely change how you approach wealth building.Russ and Joey also discuss practical ways to strengthen imagination, including creating vision boards, setting aside dedicated time to think, reading to generate new ideas, and challenging yourself with the question: “If my only job was to put money to work, what would I do with it?”Top three things you will learn: -Why imagination is a critical part of wealth building-How to train yourself to think creatively about money-Why becoming your own banker requires you to take controlBuy the Book (Becoming Your Own Banker):

On today's show, we're reviewing a new book by Andrew Ross Sorkin called 1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History, and How It Shattered a Nation.Sorkin is best known for Too Big to Fail, his account of the 2008 financial crisis. In this book, he goes back nearly eighty years earlier to examine the most famous market collapse in American history.Most people know the basic outline. The stock market rose dramatically during the Roaring Twenties. Speculation took hold. The market crashed in October of 1929, and the Great Depression followed.But knowing the outline is not the same as understanding what happened.Sorkin's strength is narrative. He takes a complicated financial event and tells it through the people who experienced it. Bankers, traders, politicians, regulators, journalists, and ordinary investors appear not as distant historical figures, but as human beings operating under pressure.The book's central lesson is not simply that markets can fall. Everyone already knows that.The deeper lesson is that intelligent, experienced people can see warning signs and still fail to act.Why?Because the incentives of the moment are often stronger than the consequences of the future.-------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

Jose Santamaria joins John Catsimatidis, Jake Novak & Michael Cohen on Sid & Friends in the Morning.

Manoj and Charles join Russell Napier to discuss their view that "real interest rates will rise because increasingly ageing societies will create a persistent and still-underappreciated deterioration in the government's fiscal position". Can AI offset these demographic headwinds? The pair aren't convinced – suggesting that the glory days of central banks may be behind us. Lauded by Russell for once again "annoying the right people in the right places", he describes the book as "a quick read that makes you think for a long time".www.libraryofmistakes.com

What if everything you think success requires is actually the thing burning you out? In this episode of the Do The Thing Podcast, host Stacey Lauren sits down with Rand Selig, a Stanford-educated investment banker, author of Thriving, and creator of the Comfort Circles framework, to unpack what it really takes to build a fulfilled life. Rand shares how he turned a four-foot stack of notes into a bestselling book, why he believes retirement should be called rewirement, and the five foundational elements of his redefined vision of success, starting with being before doing. He also opens up about a difficult relationship with his father, the letter his therapist told him to write, and the four things he learned he can actually control: attitude, effort, behavior, and action. If you are ready to stop measuring your life by accomplishments alone and start actually thriving, this conversation is packed with tools you can use today. Topics covered: redefining success, work-life balance, personal growth, overcoming burnout, healing family relationships, life transitions, leadership versus management, aging well.

Der Börsencrash von 1929 an der Wall Street löst die Weltwirtschaftskrise aus. Warum Millionen Menschen in Armut und Elend schlitterten, wie Banker von Stars zu Buhmännern wurden und und weshalb es auch die Schweiz traf. In den 1920 Jahren werden Banker und Investoren gefeiert wie Popstars. Immer mehr Menschen aus allen Schichten der Gesellschaft kaufen Aktien - auf Kredit. Dann bricht der Aktienmarkt zusammen. Die wilden Zwanziger Jahre kommen zu einem jähen Ende. Der Börsencrash am Schwarzen Dienstag stürzt Millionen Menschen in Armut und Verzweiflung. Banker wie der National City-Chef, Charlie Mitchell werden in der Grossen Depression von Stars zu Buhmännern. Und, schnell zieht die Krise Länder rund um den Globus in Mitleidenschaft. Die Schweiz wird erst mit ein paar Jahren Verzögerung getroffen. Dann aber hart und lange. Wie ist es zu dem gekommen, was wir heute als DIE Weltwirtschaftskrise bezeichnen? Hätte die Krise nach dem Crash verhindert werden können? Wie hat die Weltwirtschaftskrise die Schweiz verändert? Und, welche Lehren könnten wir ziehen für heute, wo die Börsenkurse gerade so hoch steigen wie noch nie?

In 1864, a respected young banker in Hudson, Michigan, vanished with $60,000 in cash—money that belonged to townships, soldiers, and widows.His name was William Treadwell, and the bank he robbed was his own. This episode traces a Civil War–era crime that stunned the state: a carefully planned theft, a dramatic jailbreak, and a betrayal that ended in murder deep in the Ohio woods.It's a true-crime story of greed, trust, and downfall—one of the strangest financial scandals in Michigan history.The End of the Road in Michigan is a production of Thumbwind Publications

On this unscripted Friday livestream edition of Right On Radio the host returns to a stripped-down format (no camera) to cover breaking news, follow-ups from the previous show, and faith-focused reflections. The episode opens with an update on controversial pastor Steven Anderson — the allegations from his children, the online influencer reaction, and a plea for accountable, loving correction rather than fanaticism. The program moves into a "Word on Word" moment, comparing two Bible verses (1 Corinthians 10:13 and Psalm 112:5) and inviting viewer feedback, followed by listener interaction about the show format and streaming platforms (Rumble vs X). Major news segments include a clear, listener-oriented explainer of the NDAA House votes using a viral Marjorie Taylor Greene clip — the difference between the rule vote and final passage and why the "courageous no" matters — and a deep dive into the growing surveillance-camera controversy. The host examines the Flock camera backlash, alleged ties between competing firms (Axon), and implicated investors — from Silicon Valley firms to institutional shareholders — stressing that brand labels don't change the core threat of mass surveillance and urging civic action over vigilante responses. In a substantial geopolitical analysis, the host frames the Israel–Iran tensions as part of a larger banking/energy struggle: control of choke points (Panama Canal, Strait of Hormuz, Arctic routes), insurance and shipping pressures, and Trump-era moves to realign global power (energy leverage, Abraham Accords outreach). The segment connects these developments to broader themes about the City of London, central banking, and a speculative thesis that Jerusalem could emerge as a new global power center — plus a candid take on Trump's role in the unfolding end-times narrative. Throughout the episode the host references clips and positions from public figures (Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Thomas Massie), offers practical context for listeners trying to follow complex policy maneuvers, and recommends community-level responses where possible. The show closes with an uplifting Friday music pick, reminders for Saturday night prayer and Sunday night Bible study, and a call to love God, family, and neighbors while engaging your community.

What if the biggest obstacle between you and financial freedom isn't income but how you use your money? Most people think becoming wealthy is about earning more, saving more, or finding the perfect investment. But Nelson Nash challenged that entire way of thinking.In this episode, Russ and Joey begin their deep dive into Becoming Your Own Banker by Nelson Nash, breaking down the foundational principles of controlling your money instead of handing over the banking function to someone else. They explain why becoming your own banker is not simply about buying a life insurance policy, but about creating a system where money remains in motion, allowing individuals to maintain control over their cash flow while still accessing capital for opportunities.Russ and Joey also unpack Nelson Nash's personal journey, including the financial challenges that led him to develop the Infinite Banking Concept and the importance of investing in yourself, creating a spending plan, and building a system that grows over time.Top three things you will learn:-Why understanding how banking works changes the way you build wealth-Why becoming your own banker requires discipline, not just knowledge-How to keep your money working instead of letting it sit idleBuy the Book (Becoming Your Own Banker):

https://youtu.be/L1wE2Koy7eQ Tomas Milar, Founder and CEO of Eqvista, is passionate about helping businesses value what’s hard to value by making private company valuations more accurate, transparent, and actionable. Through a product-first mindset and relentless innovation, Tomas has built Eqvista into a leading equity management and private market valuation platform serving more than 25,000 companies, helping founders, investors, and employees make better decisions with real-time company valuations. We explore Tomas Milar’s PrivateCo Valuation Framework: Industry Data, Private Data, Public Comparables, Client Data, and Audit Defensibility. Tomas explains why accurate private company valuations require combining multiple data sources instead of relying on static reports, how proprietary datasets and public market benchmarks improve pricing precision, and why audit-defensible valuations build confidence for fundraising, compliance, and M&A transactions. He also shares how a product-first approach has fueled Eqvista’s growth while advancing real-time valuations and expanding shareholder liquidity through controlled tender offers. — Value What’s Hard to Value with Tom Milar  Good day, dear listeners. Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast, and my guest today is Tomas Milar, the founder and CEO of Eqvista, a leading equity management and private market valuation platform serving more than 25,000 companies. Tom, welcome to the show.  Steve, thank you so much for having me. Thank you.  Well, you’ve got a very interesting background and business. We talked before the show that both of us are from Europe, studied in different countries, and come from a financial background. So it’s very interesting. Out of the 350-plus guests I’ve had, I’ve never had someone with such a similar background.  Interesting. Thank you. Yes. I took every opportunity to study anywhere. One semester I studied at three different universities at the same time. So yes, I was taking exams left and right at different universities. It would be April in Finland, May in Turkey, and later June back in the Czech Republic.  That’s great.  In one week, I would really make that whole circle. Crazy times.  I heard about professors teaching at multiple universities, but students attending multiple universities… Maybe two at the same time in the same country.  But I had three.  Three in different countries? That’s completely crazy. I guess if you wanted to fast-track your career, get to Silicon Valley young, start a company, and already reach a modicum of success, you had to do that, right?  You know what? Or you drop out of school and do zero schools. That’s also an option. Now let’s be serious for a bit. For me, it wasn’t really about the education. For me, it was whether I could make it. So it was more of a challenge than an academic achievement. Yeah, it was a fun time back then. I would have a Tuesday exam in Turkey, then fly north. I would have to change clothes in Prague because in Finland I was only about 50 miles from the Polar Circle. It would still be winter there, so I’d pack winter clothes and then take an exam in Oulu, which is almost at the Polar Circle. Yeah. So from Istanbul to the Polar Circle. It was a fun time back then.  I saw it on your LinkedIn page—North Ostrobothnia—and I couldn’t imagine where that place was. So I actually Googled it, and the pictures were all ski slopes. I figured it had to be a cold place.  It was very cold. Yes. A lot of saunas.  Yeah, that’s lovely. Let’s get into the topics. One question I always ask my guests is: What is your personal why, and how are you manifesting it in your business?  You know, I learned the hard way that you never ask “why.” At least for me, after living in China. Things just happen. They just happen. Some people don’t really know certain things are possible until they make them possible. So from impossibility to possibility. It’s always interesting to see things happen without a rational reason. I don’t think it’s really about a why. I think it’s really about being naïve when you do things, just doing them, and figuring things out along the way.  Yeah. Well, I agree with you about naïveté. I believe it’s a great entrepreneurial trait because it allows you not to kill good ideas..  Yes, yes. …before they have a chance to develop. And Steve, the more you know about certain things, the less likely you are to start a business in that particular industry, right? Doctors never start hospitals. Bankers never start banks or neobanks because they understand how difficult it is. So that naïveté—to be foolish and hungry—it really works. Yeah. Actually, that’s what works for me. Again, I never thought about business ideas in terms of why I should be doing them. Let me ask you this instead.  What energizes you about running Eqvista?  I think it comes in different phases. Right now, we’re going to launch a controlled tender offer. For those who don’t know what that is, when you issue stock to employees or investors, you can get it back. We don’t really like the term “buy it back,” but that’s essentially what happens. Once you issue options or stock, you can actually buy it back and redistribute those same shares to different investors or shareholders. That’s our new product. We have a very big challenge in front of us, and it’s how to price stock.  We perform valuations on over $8 billion of client assets every month. We’re one of the largest equity valuation platforms on the market. That’s actually what energizes me. Not really the number, but how hard it is to become number one and what drives innovation. Because if you want to be number one at anything, you need to innovate. What we've actually fixed is the report. When you issue stock, you need to have a stock price.Share on X  That stock price reflects the market, how the company is doing, and the different funding rounds. Usually, you find that stock price in a report. It’s a PDF—40 to 60 pages. By the time you receive the report, the valuation is already outdated. One month. Two months. Three, four, five, even six months. In 2026, startups move so fast that in six months some companies grow exponentially. Yeah.  I saw your LinkedIn post about SpaceX. There was an April 2026 valuation of $1.6 trillion. Then you posted again four days ago, showing it was over $2.6 trillion. That’s more than a 40% increase in just two months for one of the most valuable companies in the world. Yeah. How does that happen?  Particularly for SpaceX, there are multiple factors. There’s definitely hype, no doubt about it, because 95 times revenue—that’s ridiculous, right? For a publicly traded company, we usually see six or seven times revenue. That’s probably the best multiple. But 95 times revenue—that’s unheard of. How does that happen? There are multiple reasons, right? One of them is innovation. Another is that SpaceX is the only company actually launching spacecraft into orbit.  And yeah, obviously, there’s the Elon Musk factor. If you look at the space economy, whatever we’re doing on Earth, we’ll be doing the same things in space, right? So looking at SpaceX as a bridge between the dream of space and practically mirroring what we do here on Earth, I think that’s a great analogy.  For us, it's a really nice demonstration of how any company going public should have a real-time valuation.Share on X It doesn’t have to be publicly available. You can choose. Again, think about how Merrill Lynch—I think it was Merrill Lynch and Bank of America—helped with the roadshow and all the due diligence and documents. I can’t even understand how they modeled the valuation one time. They probably had to do that every three days.  But if they had a real-time valuation, they could clearly understand what was happening in the market. So, going back to your original question about what excites me, this is exciting because we built the largest valuation model on the market. Currently, without SpaceX—because SpaceX would take up half of the benchmark—we constantly value over $4 trillion in assets.  Okay. So let’s talk about this because, in my time at my investment banking firm, we had a valuation practice, and we offered six different types of valuations. But really, we just wanted to have an enchilada process where we would have EVA valuations, multiples, private and public comparables, DCF, and all that stuff. But I’m really wondering because, when you’re valuing small private companies, you’ve got all these liquidity discounts, marketability discounts, ownership discounts, all these discounts.  So it kind of boggles my mind how you guys can value all these startups, which may not even have revenue and may be very early-stage. Because this podcast is about frameworks, I’d like you to share with us—with me and the listeners—a framework that simplifies this whole valuation. What are the major elements? If you had to constrain yourself to five major elements of your valuation, what would they be?  Yeah, I can definitely help with that. Obviously, the first one is the industry, right? The industry. We have our models and datasets that we’ve acquired over the years. We have valued $400 billion in client assets manually. Okay. Manually. Even before AI, we were using AI, right? So we really tested the models. We really worked on what works and what doesn’t. That’s one element. It’s the dataset.  Obviously, public comparables. We have incredible models for choosing and picking the right companies, right? There are 4,000 publicly traded companies on the market. That’s a very important dataset. Then we have data taken directly from clients. That’s also very important. The data actually reflects the reality of the company. Obviously, you can estimate, but all these estimates…  There are platforms out there that give you a range. There’s actually a company now that tried to copy us, but they came up with such an unfortunate solution. They have a range. And Steve, who knows the range? Let’s say you have a $100 million company valuation. They came up with a valuation range of $30 million to $100 million. Two hundred?  Okay, great.  Thirty to one hundred. Thirty to one hundred. Okay. I’m like, “That’s not even a range.” It’s ridiculous. So, again, you can try to copy it, but it’s not going to work. You have to have analysts. We have an in-house team of close to 20 valuation analysts with double master’s degrees, CBAs, CFA Level III, and NACVA certifications.  So we can also issue certified reports. We can support all the defensibility. So, in case any company is undergoing M&A, we can help with additional questions from the Big Four, McKinsey, or PricewaterhouseCoopers when they challenge the valuation. We can defend the stock price. It doesn’t really happen when we issue the stock, but it happens down the road.  Yeah. That’s fantastic. So let me ask you this. What drives growth at Eqvista?  What drives growth at Eqvista? The product. It’s really as simple as that. The product and our company economics. We don't really waste time and energy on things that don't work. We focus heavily on what really works and only on what works.Share on X We haven’t raised much money, right? We bootstrapped the company. We raised half a million dollars. I always gave up on fundraising because I’m a product founder.  I don’t really do many roadshows or meetings. I actually hate meetings. I stay with my team. I’m product-centric, super focused on the product, and I think that’s one of the reasons we’re successful. I’ve always been fortunate to build amazing products and hire very talented people who can understand what we’ve built and sell it. So it’s the product. I’ve always believed in pull marketing rather than push marketing.  Obviously, outbound outreach is also extremely important. But pull marketing is where you start, especially in the early stage when you want to grow to, let’s say, half a million, one million, or two million dollars in revenue. Because direct sales are extremely hard.  So what’s one thing that you’re actively trying to figure out in your business?  It’s the price. It’s the stock price. How to effectively value companies. That’s what excites me, and that’s what we try to figure out on a practically daily basis. We have a team of specialists focusing on stock pricing and stock price discovery. Adoption is going to be extremely important. How successful we’ll be in distributing the stock price to different segments of the market.  I’m trying to understand this. You already have 25,000-plus companies whose valuations you manage. You’re able to defend these valuations in court or in M&A situations. So what do you mean exactly by trying to figure out how to effectively value companies? I mean, it sounds like you’ve figured it out. So to what degree have you not figured it out?  We have it, right? But for us, it’s about efficiency. Efficiency and how precisely we can price the stock. That’s probably the big question, even for the public market. Some companies are underpriced. How is it possible that a company with a strong balance sheet has a lower value than the cash in its accounts? These are the types of things.  It’s definitely a different approach to value a company with a couple hundred thousand dollars in revenue versus a company with $300 million in revenue and a $22 billion post-money valuation. These are crazy formulas and approaches. We’re still working on the precision because, at that scale, companies are extremely sensitive to any type of deviation. Even one percent can mean hundreds of millions of dollars.  So that’s very important. Actually, it’s also very important for startups to realize that, at the lower level, they might be undervalued by a few hundred thousand dollars or a few million dollars. That’s also something founders, CEOs, and CFOs should really be considering. That’s why real-time valuation is extremely important for all of us. We’re just trying to teach the market about real-time valuation.  Yeah. I can imagine. Even listed companies that have public data can move dramatically based on market sentiment. Something happens in Iran, and the stock can drop ten percent in a day. What could happen in a private company when you don’t have real-time data available?  Yes.  It’s going to be a really thorny issue.  It is.  So if you had a magic wand, Tom, and you could fix one thing in your company in the next twelve months, what would that be?  Adoption. Real-time valuation adoption. How we teach the market about real-time valuation. That would be the thing I would love to fix.Share on X We actually have a few ideas about how to do it. We’re becoming our own client. We’re becoming our own client, so we’re actually launching a controlled tender offer—a secondary marketplace, practically. Down the road, we could apply for an ATS, an Alternative Trading System. But that’s eight, nine, or ten months from now. At least that’s our vision, and that’s where we’d like to be headed.  So you’re going to do something like a relisting or a reverse IPO?  Not really a reverse IPO. No. Just to help shareholders liquidate their stock. It’ll practically be a platform where employees or investors can liquidate their stock. That’s something we’d like to focus on. We issue stock, manage it, reprice it, and we’d also like to help provide liquidity.  Wow. These are very exciting challenges.  Yes.  A lot of people have tried to overcome this, so if you do, you’ll definitely be pioneers in this area. Perhaps AI can help with that.  Perfect. Yeah. I have a list of people I know, how to use them, and when. So you’re always welcome.  All right. If people would like to learn more or contact you, where can they find you? Or where can they find Eqvista? How can they connect with you and learn more?  Yeah. I can definitely help with multiple subjects: company formation, bootstrapping a company, any product-related questions, and, obviously, equity management, stock pricing, valuation discovery, efficiency, and, most importantly, anything about Eqvista. You can find us at eqvista.com. E-Q-V-I-S-T-A dot com. The same goes for email. It’s tom@eqvista.com.  Okay, awesome. You can check Tom out on LinkedIn as well. That’s Tomas Milar. I think you’re listed with your longer first name. He posts regularly—very exciting articles, especially the recent one I saw on SpaceX and how the valuation shot up like a rocket. Definitely check it out.  If you enjoyed this conversation, make sure you subscribe, follow us on YouTube, give us a review on Apple Podcasts, and stay tuned because once or twice a week we bring you exciting entrepreneurs like Tom, who share their frameworks with you.

Rather than recounting the histories of families like the Rothschilds, Barings, Hambros, Warburgs, and Lehman Brothers, I wanted to extract the principles they shared. Merchant banking is fascinating. It's a very distinctive form of entrepreneurship. There is an old-school way of doing business that appeals to me. The merchant bankers' profiled in this book have a combination of: personal honor speed of action clear thinking independent judgment seamless webs of deserved trust discretion and willingness to make unconventional decisions. The founder of every merchant banking dynasty was a merchant before he was merchant banker. Once they discovered financing transactions was more profitable than physically trading goods, their real products became credit, judgment, information, advice, access, and—above all—trust. Their greatest asset was not money. Their greatest asset was their reputation.

We're talking about the buzziest --- and most controversial --- book of the summer: "Yesteryear" by Caro Claire Burke. It poses a question no one's brave enough to answer: are trad wives and career women fundamentally at odds? Or are they two sides of the same coin, minted by a bigger system that profits from their fight? As two Wall Street veterans recently profiled in Bloomberg for our new career as "finance influencers", we HAD to talk about the novel everyone is calling "rage bait", and we've got quite a lot to say. Fair warning: we spoil everything, INCLUDING the plot twist that has readers and critics alike up in arms. Why is a finance show covering a book about a trad wife influencer? The biggest names in this space, like Ballerina Farms and Nara Smith, are pulling in millions every year. The raw milk industry is a multi-billion dollar megalith expected to double in the next few years. And all of this is fueling a vertical of the creator economy that is growing in size (and scandals). What happens when a woman builds an empire by performing traditional acts of subservient domesticity on the most modern machine ever invented? We also turn the lens on ourselves, as moms, influencers, and educators --- where's the line between education and performance, and what responsibilities come along with influence?  Whether you loved this book, hated it, or refuse to read it on principle, we want to know what you think!

Senator Elizabeth Warren is demanding answers from JPMorgan chief executive Jamie Dimon about whether he acted on advice connected to Jeffrey Epstein while lobbying against a proposed British tax on bankers' bonuses. Warren's questions follow the release of a 2009 email exchange in which Epstein asked then-Labour minister Peter Mandelson whether Dimon should pressure UK chancellor Alistair Darling over the tax. Mandelson reportedly replied that Dimon should “mildly threaten” Darling, and Dimon later warned that JPMorgan could reconsider investments in Britain, including plans for a new London headquarters. Warren said the communications raise serious questions about the extent of JPMorgan's relationship with Epstein and what DimonDimon testified in 2023 that he had never met Epstein and had not heard his name until Epstein's 2019 arrest. JPMorgan continues to insist that Dimon never communicated with Epstein, never sought his advice and was not involved in decisions involving Epstein's accounts. The bank has also rejected former executive Jes Staley's claim that he discussed Epstein with Dimon, describing Staley's testimony as unreliable. JPMorgan acknowledged that maintaining Epstein as a client was a mistake but said the bank ended the relationship in 2013 and would have acted sooner had it known he was continuing to commit crimes. Warren is now seeking a fuller accounting of whether Dimon's lobbying efforts were influenced, directly or indirectly, by Epstein and his political connections.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:JP Morgan boss pressed by US senator about contact with Jeffrey Epstein | JP Morgan | The Guardian

Saumya Banker, co-founder and CEO of Donna AI, joins host KJ to pull back the curtain on the operational dysfunction hiding inside the legal industry. After watching his cousin's divorce case drag on due to missed communication, opaque billing, and overwhelmed staff, Saumya interviewed 75 lawyers and job-shadowed firms to map the real workflow. What he found: 40% of small law firm work is purely administrative, and AI can handle it. Donna AI is building the operating system for solo and small personal law firms so lawyers can take on more clients, charge less, and give more people a real shot at justice. Key Takeaways: 4:51 — Why hourly billing is broken and who's really paying the price 8:27 — What Saumya found when he job-shadowed 75 lawyers across different practice areas 16:22 — When a case stalls, who ends up paying the real price 18:39 — What Donna AI actually automates inside a small law firm Quote of the Show (1:00):"AI is not here to take your job. It's here to supercharge you.

How's your backlog right now? In Part 6 of the Construction Accounting Series, Eric sits down again with CPA Kathe Barrington to unpack what backlog really is, and what it isn't. They dig into why committed-but-unstarted jobs belong on your WIP the day you're awarded, how to use backlog to forecast labor, equipment, and cash, and why a backlog that looks great in aggregate can still leave you with a nine-month hole in the schedule. Kathe lays out the ideal backlog-to-revenue ratio, the red flag of growing backlog with compressing gross profit, how client and project-type concentration creates fragility, and who needs to be in the room for the monthly backlog review. If you want backlog to function as a real planning tool, not a vanity number. This conversation is the blueprint. What You'll Learn What backlog actually is - remaining contract, remaining cost, and remaining gross profit to complete Why letters of intent and verbal awards should NOT count as backlog Why unstarted-but-committed jobs belong on your WIP the day you're awarded (and what bank & bonding are looking for) How to translate a WIP snapshot into a month-by-month forecast of labor, equipment, and cash How far out you should be forecasting labor (hint: 6–12 months minimum) The ideal backlog-to-revenue ratio - and why 3–6 months makes Kathe nervous How backlog profiles differ between GCs and subs, and what that means for planning The aggregate-number trap: why jobs bunched up at the same finish line signal trouble When you can tighten margins as you scale - and when compressing gross profit becomes dangerous Client and project-type concentration risk - diversification as insurance How often to review backlog (monthly, with the financials) and who belongs in the room The questions that should drive the conversation beyond the numbers How to use backlog data when the market shifts - lessons from 2008 and COVID The three questions Kathe asks first when she takes on a new client's books   Connect with Kathe LinkedIn: Kathe Barrington, KB CPA Facebook: Kathe Barrington / KB CPA   The Construction Accounting Series with Kathe Barrington This is Part 6 of an ongoing series.
