IPO Roadshow: VCX is the public ticker for private techThe number of public companies has been cut in half over the past 25 years. The best private companies are staying private longer than ever. As a result, ordinary investors have been locked out of the biggest wealth-creation opportunities of this generation. With AI threatening to drive wealth inequality to new levels, Ben calls this a fairness problem as much as a financial one.His answer: take the Fundrise Innovation Fund public under the ticker VCX, creating the first publicly traded venture capital fund and a new category Ben calls the PVC (Public Venture Capital fund). In this episode, Ben and co-host Cardiff Garcia (Economic Innovation Group, New Bazaar podcast) examine the history of financial innovations, what VCX is, and what it means for the everyday American investor who's been locked out of private markets.For a deeper dive into these insights and more, listen to the full episode of the Onward podcast.

You should purchase shares of the Fund only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment.Past performance does not guarantee future results. Current and future holdings are subject to risk. Returns of one company are not indicative of an investment in the Fund. To obtain Fund performance, visit getvcx.com. The Fund's most recent schedule of investments is available at getvcx.com.Investors should consider the Fund's investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. This information is included in the Fund Prospectus and can be accessed by calling (202) 804-0023. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.The Innovation Fund is publicly registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company.The Fund's portfolio will be concentrated in securities issued by technology companies and other investments that provide economic exposure to technology companies and as such, it may be subject to more risks than if it were broadly diversified across additional sectors and industries of the economy. Certain technology companies may face special risks that their products or services may not prove to be commercially successful. Technology companies are also strongly affected by worldwide scientific or technological developments, and as a result, their products may rapidly become obsolete. The Fund's investments in companies involved in, or exposed to, artificial intelligence-related businesses may be negatively impacted because of, among other things, limited product lines, markets, financial resources and/or personnel; intense competition and potentially rapid product obsolescence these companies may face; loss or impairment of intellectual property rights; and the inability to successfully develop products or services even after spending significant amount of resources.The Fund's investment in private company securities, whether made directly or indirectly (e.g., through derivatives or private pooled investment vehicles) are generally illiquid. Because private company securities are thinly traded, such securities may display especially volatile or erratic price movements, sometimes in response to relatively small changes in investor supply or demand or other market conditions.Nothing in the advertising material should be construed as tax advice, an offer, recommendation, or solicitation to buy or sell any security. All investing includes risk, including the possible loss of money you invest, and past performance does not guarantee future performance.

As we push deeper into the tabernacle, we find the table of showbread. This easily overlooked piece of furniture reveals a generous God who is constantly giving an invitation to His table. (Ex 25:23-30, Ex 37, Lev 24:5-9, Heb 8:5a, Rev 21:22, Rev 3:20, Matt 9:10, Lk 7:36, Lk 10:38, Lk 19:1-10, Lk 22, Jn 21, Rev 19:9, Matt 6:9-13, 31-34, Deut 8:2-4, Matt 4:4, Ezekiel 3:1-3, Acts 2:42-47, Jn 6:30-35, Lk 22:17-20)

Step onto the show floor at the 43rd Houston Auto Show and you'll find a surprise: a show within the show. We sit down with curator Ben Miller, the connector who rebuilds a forty-car classic lineup every year from scratch—mixing concours-grade muscle, JDM unicorns, and offbeat imports to keep the display fresh, diverse, and unforgettable.Ben shares how he scouts “undercover” at Autorama, Texas Elite, and Cars and Coffee meetups, building trust with owners and tracking evolving builds so repeat participants never bring the same car twice. He explains why auctions aren't ideal for sourcing, how community ties matter more than bidding paddles, and how small, local shows can yield the most surprising finds. Along the way, we talk selection philosophy—choosing cars people love, not just cars he loves—and the importance of mixing eras, body styles, and stories to spark conversation across generations.Highlights include a 2021 Ford GT and a rare new GTD holding court in the lobby, plus a time-capsule 1999 Viper ACR with 1,500 miles parked beside a heavily modified 2014 Viper sporting twin nitrous bottles. Ben pulls back the curtain on the logistics few see: cold-weather tire limits that can delay deliveries from Canada, owner schedules, security, and the paperwork that keeps everything moving. It's a candid look at how a regional auto show becomes a living museum—one that changes every year to surprise even lifelong car people.If you love classic cars, JDM legends, and the craft of curation, this one's for you. Subscribe, share with a fellow enthusiast, and leave a review telling us which car you'd add to next year's lineup.Be sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!The Lupe' Tortilla RestaurantsLupe Tortilla in Katy, Texas Gulf Coast Auto ShieldPaint protection, tint, and more!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Our sin has a cost, in our own lives and others.  All sin leads toward death, and our great God is the source of life.  He wants us to leave behind the things that harm us. (Ex 27, Ex 38, Lev 1-7, Heb 8:5a, Rev 21:22, Heb 9:22, Acts 17:25, John 1:4, John 14:6, James 1:14-15, Eph 2:1, Eph 2:4-6, Heb 9:26, Heb 9:28, Heb 7:27, Eph 5:2, Is 1:18, Rom 12:1, 2 Cor 5:17)

Real estate is about to get disrupted by technology, again. AI is coming for the core workforce of the industry—acquisitions, underwriting, asset management, market analysis—and it's going to separate winners from everyone else. If you're not adopting it, you're not just missing upside—you're putting career and company risk.Ben unveils RealAI—a “real estate AI analyst” that Fundrise has been building for years—and explains what the first generation of real estate “AI analysts” means for investing and the future of work.Check out RealAI (https://realai.com/).

In 1985, high school teacher Christa McAuliffe was selected to become the first private citizen to travel to space. After the Challenger explosion that killed her and 6 other astronauts, NASA scrapped its Teacher in Space Project; it was still too risky to send private citizens to space.   40 years later, things are looking very different.  Today, celebrities and billionaires are buying trips on commercial rockets. Private companies are designing new, private space stations.  How is safety being regulated for these private space companies? And what happens if – or when – something goes wrong?  Featuring Kim Bleier, Ben Miller, Doug Ligor, Peggy Whitson, and Dana Tulodziecki. Produced by Daniel Ackerman.

Nathan risks everything to confront David with his sin, and the result is deep confession and repentance.  David is no longer hiding and manipulating.  How are we similarly called to speak truth into the lives around us? (2 Sam 12:1-13, Eph 4:32, I Peter 3:8-9, Jn 17:11, I Sam 13:4, Acts 13:22, Luke 5:31-32, 2 Sam 7:16, Prov 27:6, Matt 7:1, Matt 7:3-5, Matt 5:9, Matt 18:15, James 4:25-26, Prov 18:2, Jn 16:8, Gal 6:1, Matt 5:23-24, Rom 12:18, Heb 12:14)

Now that the Hebrew people are free from slavery, they find themselves at the foot of Mt. Sinai, where God gives them the 10 commandments, and the law.  What purpose do these old rules have for Jesus followers? (Ex 20:19, Eph 2:6-10, I Jn 1:5, James 1:17, Matt 9:12, Matt 5:21-22, Matt 5:27-28, Gal 3:23-25, Rom 8:3, Matt 22:34-40, Jn 13:34-35, 2 Cor 5:17)

Nobody in Wisconsin's dairy community can deny - it is tough right now. Milk prices are low, margins are tight, and there’s a lot of frustration out there. How does Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin view the year farmers just lived through? That's where the conversation starts with Pam Jahnke and Ben Miller, Vice President of Industry Relations who's recently been named Chief Operating Officer at DFW. Bills don't wait, costs stay high, and the pressures never seem to end. That reality deserves to be acknowledged first, because no amount of talking around it changes what farmers are experiencing day to day. Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin does not and cannot control milk prices, that's very clear. What can be managed is how Wisconsin dairy shows up in the world. DFW is charged with working to protect demand, strengthen trust, and expand opportunity so that when markets improve — as they eventually do — Wisconsin dairy is positioned to compete and win. That doesn’t fix today’s milk check, but it helps build a foundation for recovery. Miller talks more about what the previous investments made by Wisconsin dairy operators have done to get us this far, and what is underway now to propel Wisconsin dairy forward. Everyone in Wisconsin's dairy community is paying attention to the current economic situation operators are facing regardless of size. The message of Wisconsin dairy - it's heritage - it's people - it's products, are still resonating with those buyers and partners.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Let's move past the tired “Is AI a bubble?” debate and ask the bigger question: What happens after the buildout—when trillions of dollars of AI data centers translate into real economic output. Co-hosts Ben Miller and Cardiff Garcia frame AI as a new kind of factory—massive capex producing tokens that can be converted into real white-collar work. Then Ben grounds it with concrete Fundrise examples—AI handling a large share of customer support, strengthening cybersecurity workflows, reshaping marketing/copywriting, and boosting engineering productivity—before zooming out to the macro implications: faster growth, disinflationary pressure, shifting labor vs. capital dynamics, and the possibility of lower rates if productivity wins out. They also wrestle with the messy part—how adoption, politics, and policy could determine whether AI becomes a broad-based win, a lopsided win-lose, or a stagnation-inducing backlash—and close on practical ideas for adaptation, especially for younger workers. — For a deeper dive into these insights and more, be sure to listen to the full episode of the Onward podcast.

Has real estate finally bottomed? Ben Miller, CEO of Fundrise (managing over $7B in real estate), says it's so. And he's not just talking about commercial real estate. If true, one particular type of real estate investment could do exceptionally well over the next year, but most people (even Dave!) are going in a different direction. Where could the next big real estate boom happen? We're getting into it! To continue this prediction season, Ben joins us to walk through a few crucial economic outlooks that could greatly affect the housing market. From AI stunting hiring to inflation actually going down (below 2%!), American wage trends changing dramatically, and the assets that will perform best, we're getting his take as someone who manages billions of dollars in real estate. Want mortgage rates to go down? We need lower inflation, and Ben says there's good news on the horizon for stable prices. New technology adoption could lead to much lower inflation (even deflation in some cases). Could this be what reignites the housing market as mortgage rates react to a more stable economy? Ben gives his full take, with some surprises even Dave wasn't prepared for. In This Episode We Cover The bottom for real estate prices?

Has real estate finally bottomed? Ben Miller, CEO of Fundrise (managing over $7B in real estate), says it's so. And he's not just talking about commercial real estate. If true, one particular type of real estate investment could do exceptionally well over the next year, but most people (even Dave!) are going in a different direction. Where could the next big real estate boom happen? We're getting into it! To continue this prediction season, Ben joins us to walk through a few crucial economic outlooks that could greatly affect the housing market. From AI stunting hiring to inflation actually going down (below 2%!), American wage trends changing dramatically, and the assets that will perform best, we're getting his take as someone who manages billions of dollars in real estate. Want mortgage rates to go down? We need lower inflation, and Ben says there's good news on the horizon for stable prices. New technology adoption could lead to much lower inflation (even deflation in some cases). Could this be what reignites the housing market as mortgage rates react to a more stable economy? Ben gives his full take, with some surprises even Dave wasn't prepared for.  In This Episode We Cover The bottom for real estate prices?

Moses' incredible story reaches an impossible moment.  As they leave Egypt, God leads them into the dead end of the Red Sea and we glean some beautiful lessons along the way.

Guest co-host Ben Miller, Shoptalk's VP of Original Content and Strategy joins to provide expert analysis and we interview Lauren Sherman, the acclaimed fashion correspondent at Puck and author of Selling Sexy: Victoria's Secret and the Unraveling of an American IconThe episode kicks off with a rich news segment, where the trio unpacks the latest forces shaping retail and the economy. Amazon's strong Q3 earnings headline the week, with third-party marketplace growth and ad revenues surging 24%. The conversation then pivots to the consumer landscape, where CPG brands lean on pricing over volume, private-label growth accelerates, and Estee Lauder's rebound in China might hint at green shoots in luxury demand.From there, the hosts explore the AI revolution's ripple through the workforce, with Ben outlining how global companies are reorganizing around “agentic transformation” as human and machine intelligence increasingly converge. He notes that the average IQ of today's AI agents already exceeds 130—with future leaps that will reshape every operating model. The segment closes with Steve's macro overview: U.S.–China tariff recalibrations, Fed policy shifts, and warning signs of consumer softening among younger cohorts.In the feature interview, Lauren Sherman offers a masterclass on the shifting foundations of global fashion and luxury. From the post-pandemic boom to today's demand reset, she dissects how the Chinese slowdown, pricing strategy saturation, and the direct-to-consumer explosion are redrawing the map for brands like LVMH, Hermès, and Prada. Lauren argues that “untouchable” luxury houses are now confronting the limits of endless growth, and that resale and rental markets have permanently altered consumer psychology—embedding secondhand luxury as a normalized part of the buying journey.She also explores social media's transformation under AI, Hollywood's over-reliance on fashion partnerships, and why the luxury world's obsession with celebrity campaigns may have reached saturation.The episode also previews ShopTalk Luxe, the new Abu Dhabi-based event connecting the global luxury ecosystem. The hosts wrap by spotlighting the AI data-center boom, the rise of GLP-1-driven nutrition trends, and the surprising revival of British department stores.

Animal health and biosecurity are being threatened globally by a few different diseases and virus'. Ben Jarboe gets the spooky outlook from Jamie Jonker, Chief Science officer with the national milk producers federation. HPAI as a threat to dairy has been talked about often, but other conditions like Lumpy Skin disease, FMD, and new world screw worm remind producers to stay on their toes. He gives an update on each and shares reasons why we should watch them even if they are not in the US. Quiet weather pattern for this week. Rain showers are a possibility everyday - but not much for overall accumulation. Wisconsin is home to one commercial grade cottage cheese producer and they're being overwhelmed with demand! Westby Cooperative Creamery, Wisconsin’s only cottage cheese manufacturer, is investing $14.1 million to modernize its Westby facility. Emily Bialkowski, sales and marketing manager, says the project will meet surging consumer demand for cottage cheese, which has seen sales jump nationwide. With all current capacity sold out, the investment ensures long-term stability for the creamery to stay competitive in the growing high-protein, "clean-label" market. There will be no federal aid going to the nation's farmers until the federal government is back in action. Chad Smith tells us that the American Farm Bureau Federation sent letters to the president and Congress telling them how important getting back to work is for the nation's farmers. "Born to Dairy" is a lighthearted look at the faces behind Wisconsin's dairy industry. Pam Jahnke talks with Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin CEO, Chad Vincent about how global demand continues to keep Wisconsin dairy flowing. Ben Miller, Vice President of Industry Outreach explains the stories and data he shares with anyone working on a dairy project. From policy development to program development. Finally Charlie Beren joins Pam to explain his role in developing some of the storylines of "Born to Dairy". Beren says this first phase is just the beginning of helping dairy farmers and consumers identify with the faces of the industry.

Scott Plank—who helped build Under Armour from the ground up, was the largest angel investor in WeWork, and is a seed investor in Fundrise—joins us to share what it really feels like to bet everything, lose big, win bigger, and keep moving forward. In this conversation, Scott traces his path from building homes as a carpenter and selling bracelets in Guatemala to helping Under Armour grow from a family startup into a billion-dollar public company. He explains the financing strategies that kept the company alive in its early days, the lessons of scaling operations under intense pressure, and why he believes Under Armour couldn't be founded the way they did in today's world. Scott also shares his experience as the largest angel investor in WeWork, unpacking why he saw value where others didn't, and how he navigated both the spectacular rise and fall of the company. Along the way, he reflects on risk—when to push all in, when to shut things down, and how entrepreneurship is often about knowing when the world has changed. Finally, he discusses his ongoing work in real estate and technology, including data centers and community development, and offers advice for the next generation of entrepreneurs. For Scott, the throughline is clear: success depends not just on grit, but on aligning values, timing, and the willingness to evolve when circumstances demand it. — For a deeper dive into these insights and more, be sure to listen to the full episode of the Onward podcast.

Since 2022, commercial real estate (CRE) investors have endured one of the toughest stretches in decades. Surging inflation drove mortgage rates higher, cap rates expanded, and property values sank. The mantra became clear: “survive until 2025.” Now, with inflation cooling, rates easing, and capital returning, the tide may finally be turning. In this episode, I sit down with Ben Miller, CEO of Fundrise, who shares why he's more optimistic about CRE's future—and why the next three years could be far better than the last. Invest In CRE In A Diversified Way If you're looking to gain exposure to commercial real estate, take a look at Fundrise. Founded in 2012, Fundrise now manages over $3 billion for 380,000+ investors. Their focus is on residential-oriented commercial real estate in lower-cost markets - assets that tend to be more resilient than office or retail. Throughout the downturn, Fundrise continued deploying capital to capture opportunities at lower valuations. Now, as the CRE cycle turns, they're well-positioned to benefit from the rebound. The minimum investment is just $10, making it easy to dollar-cost average over time. I've personally invested six figures into Fundrise's CRE offerings, and I appreciate that their long-term approach aligns with my own. Fundrise has also been a long-time sponsor of Financial Samurai, which speaks to our shared investment philosophy.

On the latest episode of the Financial Samurai podcast, I sat down with Ben Miller, cofounder and CEO of Fundrise, for a deep dive into AI, venture capital, and what it really takes to get into the best deals. Key Takeaways from the Podcast 1. AI Growth and Market Dynamics Revenue growth is accelerating in big AI companies like Anthropic. There's an AI benchmarking race where many products seem similar, but differentiation still matters—Ben Miller doesn't believe AI is a commodity at all. The biggest AI players continue to extend their lead, creating a “winner-take-most” dynamic. 2. Venture Capital Strategy and Concentration How much concentration is acceptable in a venture fund: up to 50% of the portfolio can be concentrated in just two companies. Importance of building a pipeline (“bench”) of potential giants like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Databricks. Leveraging scouts in key hubs like San Francisco to source the next wave of private growth companies. 3. Valuation and Economic Concepts Growth-Adjusted Revenue Multiple as a more nuanced valuation approach for high-growth companies. Baumol Effect – rising costs in labor-intensive sectors despite limited productivity gains, and how this might influence AI adoption and consumer behavior. 4. Access and Allocation Challenges Figma IPO: Allocation was difficult even for well-connected investors; demand for strong growth companies far outstrips supply. Innovation Fund's approach: invested in 6 of the top 50 companies on the CNBC Disruptor list. The battle of connections and wealth—strong networks often determine who gets into the best deals. See related post:  The Futility Of Chasing Allocation In A Hot IPO Company 5. Strategic Advantages for Investors Directing a 2M+ user base to both invest in and use portfolio company products (examples: Ramp, Flywheel) as a growth driver. Using product adoption to create a feedback loop of higher valuations and more capital access. 6. Macro Perspectives on AI China's optimistic, aggressive push into AI contrasts with America's more cautious and sometimes pessimistic stance. Why I'm personally increasing my allocation to AI—both as a long-term growth opportunity and as a hedge against missing the next big wave. Invest in Private Growth Companies With Fundrise Companies are staying private longer, which means more gains go to early private investors rather than the public. If you don't want to fight in the IPO “Hunger Games” for scraps, consider Fundrise Venture. About 80% of the Fundrise venture portfolio is in artificial intelligence—an area I'm extremely bullish on. In 20 years, I don't want my kids asking why I ignored AI when it was still early. The investment minimum is just $10, compared with $200,000+ for most traditional venture funds (if you can even get in). You can also see exactly what the fund holds before you invest, and you don't need to be an accredited investor.
