The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (04/30/2025): 3:05pm- Last night, President Donald Trump celebrated the first 100 Days of his second term in office with a rally in Michigan—highlighting his successes and calling out Democrats who are already seeking to impeach him. Tonight, former Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to deliver her own address—her first major speech since losing the 2024 presidential election. According to reports, she is expected to “call out” President Trump and his administration. 3:30pm- On Monday, Rich, Matt, and Rich's son Patrick visited the White House to celebrate the first 100 days of President Trump's second term in office—as well as the Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles. While the visit was enjoyable, why didn't Matt stop for food on the way home??? 3:40pm- On Tuesday night, President Donald Trump sat down for an interview with Terry Moran of ABC News. During the conversation, Trump defended his decision to revoke Joe Biden's security clearances. He also said he considers securing the border his greatest accomplishment thus far. 3:50pm- World War II Bomb in Cape May? According to a report from Fox 29, an unexploded World War II ordinance was discovered during low tide earlier this week—forcing a bomb squad to deactivate the device. 4:05pm- During Wednesday's cabinet meeting, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the rare earth mineral deal with Ukraine “is ready to sign”—and although Ukraine recently made “some last-minute changes” it could be agreed upon as soon as “this afternoon.” Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubia reacted to Kilmar Abrego Garcia's deportation to El Salvador. He noted that “the conduct of our foreign policy belongs to the President of the United States and the Executive Branch—not some judge.” 4:40pm- Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. discussed his efforts to “make America healthy again” during Wednesday's cabinet meeting with President Donald Trump.

In total, the Trump Administration estimates that the investments in “America's future” amount to over $5 trillion in his first 100 days in office—with the creation of “more than 451,000 new jobs.” 5:30pm- “Shark Tank” star Kevin O'Leary hilariously explained that socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez is really a capitalist—pointing out her “Tax the Rich” t-shirts which she makes an “82% margin on.” 6:05pm- Daniel Turner—Founder and Executive Director of Power the Future—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his latest op-ed for The New York Post, “How Trump turned around a Biden energy policy based on hand waves and lies.” You can read the full article here: https://nypost.com/2025/04/28/opinion/how-trump-turned-around-a-biden-energy-policy-based-on-hand-waves-and-lies/. 6:30pm- During Wednesday's cabinet meeting, President Donald Trump thanked Elon Musk for his work at DOGE—as Musk begins to transition back to his work in the private sector. Plus, Governor Gavin Newsom claims he invented DOGE six years ago…but that California did it better than the Trump Administration. What the heck is he talking about!?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a futuristic concept—it's here, and its transforming industries, investments, and daily life. Despite the advantages in processing and productivity, many still have concerns about using AI in their everyday lives at home and in business. This begs the question: Should AI be something we fear, or is it just new technology that we should embrace? Here to help answer those questions is Jay Jacobs. Jay is BlackRock's Head of Thematic and Active ETFs, where he oversees the overall product strategy, thought leadership, and client engagement for the firm's thematic and active ETF businesses. We're thrilled to tap into his expertise to break down the evolution of AI and LLMs (Large Language Models), how it's impacting the investment landscape, and what the future looks like in the AI and digital world. In our conversation, we discussed the rapid development of artificial intelligence and its potential to revolutionize sectors like finance, healthcare, and even customer service. You'll also hear Jay describe how AI has evolved into a race toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), its ability to increase our productivity on a personal level, and whether the fears surrounding AI's risks are warranted. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: How AI has evolved from Clippy in Microsoft Word to ChatGPT and other LLMs. Why research and investing in AI is accelerating and what's fueling its rapid growth. Why access to data, computing power, and infrastructure are the new competitive advantages in the AI arms race. How businesses are leveraging AI to boost efficiency and customer service. The race to AGI (Artificial General Intelligence)—what it means and how close we really are. How synthetic data and virtual environments are shaping the next frontier of AI development Want the Full Show Notes?

Despite regulatory progress, investment crowdfunding has yet to reach its full potential. A newly proposed tax credit aims to change that, incentivizing millions more to participate in funding small businesses while boosting local economies.Brian Christie, co-chair of the Crowdfunding Professional Association (CfPA), and Levi Brackman, CEO of Invown, joined me on Superpowers for Good to discuss this groundbreaking proposal. The initiative, led by a broad coalition of industry players, seeks to provide a tax credit for investors who fund businesses under Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF)."The way this tax credit works is that you get half of the dollars that you've invested as a credit—up to a $1,000 cap," Brian explained. "So if you invest $2,000 in one or multiple companies in a given year, you get a $1,000 tax credit when you file your taxes."The potential impact is staggering. Although crowdfunding has already enabled millions of Americans to invest in startups and small businesses, the vast majority of the population remains unaware of the opportunity. Brian sees this tax credit as a pivotal mechanism for awareness and engagement. "If all of a sudden it shows up on your annual tax filings, a lot of people will learn about it very quickly."Levi, an outspoken supporter of the initiative, believes it could dramatically shift the financial landscape for small businesses. "Capital formation is really difficult," he noted. "In the old days, you had a local bank manager who knew you and could vouch for you. That's gone. Crowdfunding fills that gap, but we've barely scratched the surface. This tax credit could help scale it massively."Levi envisions a future where tens of millions of Americans actively invest in small businesses. "Imagine if 50 million people each invested just $500 a year. The amount of capital flowing into the economy would be enormous, creating jobs and strengthening communities."Keep reading below. Learn more at ccajp.us.tl;dr:* A new tax credit proposal could dramatically boost Regulation Crowdfunding by incentivizing millions of investors.* Brian Christie explains how the tax credit offers a 50% refund on investments up to $2,000 annually.* Levi Brackman highlights crowdfunding's potential to fill small business funding gaps in a post-local bank era.* The initiative could channel billions into small businesses, creating jobs and strengthening communities nationwide.* Advocates urge action by joining the coalition, contacting legislators, and spreading awareness to drive policy change.Beyond sheer economic growth, the proposal aligns with how the government has historically incentivized positive behaviors. "The U.S. incentivizes things like home ownership, charitable giving, and child-rearing through the tax code," Levi pointed out. "Why shouldn't investing in small businesses—arguably the backbone of the economy—be encouraged the same way?"Opponents of tax credits often raise concerns about costs or who benefits most, but Brian argues that this particular incentive pays for itself. "Our preliminary analysis, along with industry data, suggests that every dollar invested in small businesses has a sixfold ripple effect in the economy. Over ten years, the net impact on the Treasury could be an $80 billion surplus."The coalition behind this initiative isn't limited to crowdfunding platforms like Invown, StartEngine, Republic, and Small Change. It also includes investors, accountants, attorneys, and small business owners who recognize the broader benefits of democratized capital access.For those eager to support the effort, joining the coalition is free and simple. Brian emphasized that beyond signing up, individuals can make an impact by calling their legislators, sharing the initiative on social media, and writing letters to the editor. "We even provide templates to make outreach easier," he said.Levi added that persistence is key. "I've been cold-calling congressional offices, and it's amazing how quickly you can reach someone influential just by making the effort. If this matters to you, just pick up the phone and start the conversation."The proposal is strategically timed, given that key tax policies from the 2017 tax bill are set to expire. Advocates hope to see the crowdfunding tax credit included in the next major tax package or passed as a standalone bill.For those ready to take action, the coalition's website, ccajp.us/join, offers resources to get involved. This is a grassroots movement, and every voice counts.If successful, this initiative could change the game for small business investing, making crowdfunding more accessible, impactful, and widespread than ever before.

He explains that the process is relatively straightforward, especially with banks like WIO, where accounts can be opened quickly via an app. Aaron highlights the unnecessary fear and complexity that some agents instill in people, stressing that for most businesses and entrepreneurs with proper documentation (Emirates ID and residency visa), opening a bank account in Dubai is simple.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Y-TCH886vsQ In this video, Aaron Henriques clears up common confusion between Visa Entitlements and Visa Applications for free zone business setups in Dubai. Many people, particularly those going through an agency, misunderstand these terms and end up feeling misled. Aaron explains how Visa Entitlements are linked to company trade licenses, allowing a certain number of sponsored visas, and the costs associated with them. He differentiates this from Visa Applications, which are individual requests for residency visas. The video also covers potential hidden costs and the importance of realistic planning, including why you can't use company visas for family members unless they work for the company.

In today's lesson, we dive into the business bucket, which says that a substantial amount of wealth in the world is created by investing in, owning, or starting a business.   Investing in a business can provide some of the largest returns, and there are plenty of situations where you buy or start a company that's generating $10,000 or $15,000 a year, and a couple of years later, it earns  $500,000 to $750,000, significantly increasing its valuation.   In this episode, we share ten essentials every business needs to be successful, discuss considerations of starting or investing in a business, working with a partner, and provide valuation models to assess how much a business is worth. Use this conversation as a launching point to start thinking about how a business can help you leverage your wealth plan by building extra income streams, changing your tax strategy, and building an asset that can grow your wealth. ---------- Download all of the Wealth Series 2.0 workbooks at www.winmakegive.com/wealth   Share your thoughts in our Facebook group at www.facebook.com/groups/winmakegive   Part of the Win Make Give Podcast Network

Chad Corbett built THREE majorly successful businesses, but there was one problem: he hated the life they gave him. Wanting his freedom back, he SHUT THEM DOWN in 24 hours to start from scratch on a business that made him happier. Buckle up for today's episode!Chad - In His Words:By this time I was 29, I had 4 real estate licenses, had managed over $1 Billion in closings, and sold over $100 Million in real estate but I had only made it to a net worth of $150,000.  I was living in Kaanapali Beach, Maui and I was NOT fulfilled or challenged so I found the courage to follow my intuition and hit the reset button.  I left my W2 J.O.B. even though I didn't know what I would do in the 2011 economy.Finding Purpose in My Work and becoming Chad Corbett again.For the next 2 months, I traveled to Canada on an adventure motorcycle with a flyrod, a journal, and a backpacker's tent.  One night by a lake in interior British Columbia, when I least expected it, I had an experience that changed my life, and the lives of many others, for the better.  That night I was watching the last light tuck behind the Three Sisters and paying close attention to the feeling of peace and tranquility in my heart.  After weeks of being alone nearly 24 hours a day, with no electronics, I finally felt relaxed and at peace with the risks and tranquility of the wilderness.  It was at this moment that I asked myself “How do you need to live in order to be in control of this feeling whenever you want it?”.  I had a bit of a burning bush moment as the 3 guiding principles I still live my life by came to me silently but in the loudest voice I had ever heard:Always help others more than yourselfAlways net $100k+ so you can live and give the way you want toAlways be able to run it from a phone or laptop anywhere in the worldFor Frameworks, Freedom Tips, and Millionaire Financial Breakdowns -Subscribe to our 5 Minute Weekly Newsletter (Thursday 10 AM EST)https://brianluebben.com/newsletterBook a 15 Minute "Freedom Call"  (10 Spots Available)https://calendly.com/brianluebben/15minTwitter @theactionpodIG @brianluebbenhttps://brianluebben.comhttps://probatemastery.com
