In this episode, Scott Becker covers a market selloff, Lamborghini stepping back from electric SUVs, and Blue Owl Credit halting fund redemptions that signal potential stress in private credit.

Dan Nathan and Guy Adami are joined by Jen Saarbach and Kristen Kelly of The Wall Street Skinny to discuss two major developing market stories ahead of meeting in Miami for the iConnections Global Alts conference. The first topic is stress in private credit, centered on Blue Owl's retail-focused semi-liquid vehicle (Blue Owl Capital Corp II) facing heavy redemptions and gating, highlighting the liquidity mismatch between retail redemption needs and long-dated loan assets. They contrast the gated evergreen structure with Blue Owl's publicly traded BDC that was trading roughly 20% below NAV, discuss Blue Owl's reported loan sales near NAV, and explore why the issue is pressuring related stocks like Blue Owl and Blackstone despite an S&P 500 that appears indifferent. The group connects the private credit conversation to how AI/data center buildouts are financed, including references to Meta-related structures and concerns about CoreWeave's ability to raise capital for data center obligations, and notes that credit markets often reprice quickly only after complacency breaks. The second topic is prediction markets, focusing on Kalshi and its partnership with Tradeweb to publish analytics and potentially enable institutional trading of binary outcomes on events like Fed decisions and macro data, raising questions about democratized access, liquidity constraints, regulatory gaps, spoofing, and the role of insider information, along with implications for politics and whether more information is always better.

In this episode, Megan and Erin dive into practical financial literacy topics students need to understand before and during college. Their discussion centers on managing money in an increasingly cashless world, avoiding common student loan mistakes, and building credit responsibly. Using real-life examples from their own families and experiences with students, they highlight how small financial decisions in college can have long-term consequences. Key Tips & Takeaways (with Examples) Know what student loan money can and cannot be used for Student loan funds can often cover living expenses such as rent, groceries, or transportation, and Erin notes that some students even use loan refunds to buy a car. However, these choices increase total debt, and student loans cannot be discharged in bankruptcy, making overspending especially risky. Understand 529 plan restrictions Erin explains that 529 money must be used for qualified education expenses and properly documented. Using a 529 account without matching receipts can cause reimbursement problems and potential tax issues. Be cautious with cashless payment apps Apps like Apple Pay, Venmo, and Cash App make spending feel frictionless, which can lead students to lose track of where their money is going. Erin points out that these platforms may not offer the same protections as credit cards if money is sent to the wrong person or a transaction is disputed. Local banks still serve a purpose Even in a cashless society, having a local bank can help students deposit cash, resolve account issues in person, or access short-term support. Erin mentions tools like Greenlight as a way parents can help students manage spending while learning financial independence. Debit cards vs. credit cards Debit cards pull directly from checking accounts, so overspending can immediately drain funds or trigger overdraft fees. Credit cards, when used carefully, offer more fraud protection and help establish a credit history. Build credit with small, intentional habits Erin recommends using a low-limit credit card for a recurring bill such as a streaming service or phone payment. Paying that balance in full each month builds credit without encouraging unnecessary spending. She shares a personal story about buying a house to illustrate how strong credit history impacts major life purchases. Set realistic expectations for spending money Megan shares that her son spent about $12 per week while on a campus food plan, showing how limited discretionary spending can still work. (This is not typical; her daughter definitely spent more!) They contrast this with examples of students overspending on food delivery services like DoorDash, emphasizing the need for clear budgeting conversations. This episode helps families understand how everyday financial choices—payment apps, loan usage, and credit cards—can shape a student's financial future, and sets the stage for deeper conversations around responsible money management in college.

Noah Funderburk, Portfolio Manager and Director of Securitized Credit at Pioneer Investments, joins the InsuranceAUM.com Podcast for a deep dive into the mechanics that matter most in structured credit.   In this episode, he explores why risk and discomfort are often the source of return, how credit risk and interest rate convexity can compound drawdowns, and why sponsor incentives should never be overlooked. The conversation moves beyond headline yield to focus on tranche-level analysis, correlation risk, asset obsolescence, and securitization structures that delever over time.   For insurance investors allocating to ABS, RMBS, CMBS, and multi-sector portfolios, this discussion offers a practical framework for evaluating complexity, pricing uncertainty, and managing downside risk in an evolving market environment.

Try designing a checkout flow that handles everything from dog food to pallets of cattle feed to live chickens. Now make it work flawlessly when your customer is standing on the far side of their 60-acre property with a weak cell signal. That's the daily reality at Tractor Supply, and it's exactly why their non-technical leader running digital might be their biggest advantage.Join hosts Chuck Moxley and Nick Paladino as we sit down with Matthew Rubin,  President of Digital and E-Commerce at Tractor Supply, whose career spans retail operations, merchant roles, and store management before landing in digital. Matthew explains why they're mobile-native, designing web experiences specifically for customers walking around properties who need to quickly reorder feed without pulling out a laptop. We explore how COVID created an unexpected surge in self-sufficiency seekers, why Tractor Supply puts "Buy It Again" as a primary header when competitors bury it, and how delivering diversity creates logistics nightmares that become competitive advantages. Matthew reveals why their drivers don't just drop pallets at the end of driveways but ask where on the property customers want deliveries and take notes for the next driver. We discuss how omnichannel customers visit stores more often (not less) because BOPIS drives additional foot traffic, why their 20,000 square foot fusion stores put team members right at the front welcoming customers, and how their Scout AI platform answers "how do I" questions based on local climate and customer needs. Key Actionable Takeaways:Design for your customer's actual context, not ideal conditions - Mobile-native means optimizing for weak cell signals on rural properties where customers manage animals and land, not just making responsive layouts that work on phonesElevate repeat purchase functionality to primary navigation - Put "Buy It Again" as a header instead of burying it in order history; saving seconds matters when customers are juggling chores and multiple animal feed typesTrain delivery teams to personalize last-mile experiences - Have drivers ask where on properties customers want bulky items dropped and document preferences so future drivers know, creating neighborhood-level service at scaleWant more tips and strategies about creating frictionless digital experiences? Subscribe to our newsletter! https://www.thefrictionlessexperience.com/frictionless/ Download the Black Friday/Cyber Monday eBook: http://bluetriangle.com/ebook  Matthew Rubin's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewlrubin/Nick Paladino's LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/npaladino Chuck Moxley's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chuckmoxley/Chapters:(00:00) Introduction(03:10) Non-technical leader advantage(04:30) Operational fundamentals(05:30) Customer-first evolution(06:00) Omnichannel penetration(07:15) Mobile-native design(08:30) Job site parallels(10:00) Web view consistency(11:00) Buy it again placement(12:15) Animal care urgency(13:15) BOPIS experience(14:30) Driving store traffic(15:45) Fusion store format(17:10) Last mile delivery(19:15) Product diversity challenges(20:30) Pallet delivery complexity(22:05) Driver personalization(23:00) Competitive advantage(24:30) Wide assortment strategy(25:20) Credit card fraud story(26:30) COVID self-sufficiency(27:50) Guacamole Tuesday tradition(28:45) Explosive growth angle(29:15) Duck eggs for baking(30:00) Teaching kids responsibility(30:40) Green Acres customers(31:15) Hiring customer lifestyle(31:30) Scout AI platform(32:40) Be your own customer(33:10) Pet category expansion(34:10) Biggest misconception(35:50) Conclusion

In this episode, host Sebastian Couture is joined by Chris Yin, CEO of Plume Network, to deconstruct the current state of Real World Assets (RWAs) and why the sector is at a pivotal inflection point. Chris argues that most RWA projects today are functionally "worse on-chain" because they lack liquidity, composability, and the "crypto-native" user experience that made stablecoins successful. He details how Plume is solving this through a custom L1 stack and the Nest vault protocol, which tokenizes high-yield assets like Brazilian credit card receivables and oil production for a global market.They explore the friction between traditional finance and DeFi, highlighting why private credit's long duration makes it unsuitable for the "looping" and leverage that drives crypto demand. Chris explains the significance of Plume's SEC Transfer Agent license and its role in bridging the gap between regulated funds and permissionless rails. Finally, the conversation tackles the "bleak" vs. "optimistic" future of crypto, asking whether the industry will maintain its core principles of self-custody and decentralization as it searches for a "new daddy" in institutional capital.Topics00:00 Intro & Context04:15 The Job of a Founder: Finding Change09:30 Crypto Natives vs. TradFi Suites15:00 Stablecoins: The Only RWA That Matters (Today)21:45 The Bottleneck: It's Not Tokenization, It's Demand27:10 Why Build an L1 for Assets?35:20 SEC Transfer Agent License Explained42:15 Nest Alpha: Blending Oil, Credit, and T-Bills49:00 Is Leverage Sustainable for Institutions?55:30 The Exodus: Will Crypto Values Survive?LinksChris Yin on X: https://x.com/chriseyinPlume Network: https://www.plumenetwork.com/Nest: https://nest.plumenetwork.com/NEAR: https://near.ai/Sponsors:NEAR AI Cloud now lets developers deploy OpenClaw—the rapidly growing open-source AI agent platform—inside Trusted Execution Environments, providing hardware-level encryption with cryptographic attestations.

British Columbia's Finance Minister Brenda Bailey said that the budget she brought down on Tuesday wasn't an austerity budget. However, key spending areas have been given very small budget increases spread over the three-year fiscal plan, which will mean real cuts to services. In addition, the B.C. government's tax increases will hit low- to moderate income households. In their analysis released Tuesday, Marc Lee and Andrew Longhurst say the budget lays a financial burden on the poorest in BC. Marc Lee is an economist with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. He joins me today to talk about this week's provincial budget.

An an entrepreneur, we love hearing people say, "man, you're a hustler."    One day, we're chasing shiny objects.     Credit repair.    Mortgages.    MLM opportunities.    But at the core of the hustle is not about chasing shiny objects......   It's about chasing something that has no physical body, cannot be contained and cannot be controlled.    What is it?    Freedom.    It's that feeling where you can choose to do something or not.    Having the ability to take a vacation without having to be in the office if you choose.    Making cool shit happen for people that bring you the most value in your life......friends, family, clients, employees, contractors, and your favorite charities.    As you're working and building your business, make sure you are clear about the amount of hustling you're doing.    Hustling can wear you out and burn you out if you're not careful.     Be intentional about your hustle.     About the ReWire Podcast   The ReWire Podcast with Ryan Stewman – Dive into powerful insights as Ryan Stewman, the HardCore Closer, breaks down mental barriers and shares actionable steps to rewire your thoughts.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.christineluken.com/your-credit-score-is-not-important-and-it-also-is/ Quotes to ponder: "Demonizing debt can cause people to feel guilt and shame over what is essentially a business transaction."

Credit Crisis Stage 2 has been observed. Stage 1 is when money flows out of a bubble but is roughly still balanced meaning some uncomfortable fund managers but no big consequences like forced selling. Stage 2 is when that balance unbalances leading to bigger problems like forced selling. Today, we got confirmation of forced selling for the first time...and a LOT more. --------------------------------------------------------------------------This is the kinds of material we've been covering - at length and in depth - at Eurodollar University in our Deep Dive Analysis and memberships.

For example, if your anniversary date is 10/1, your 3-month clock won't start until 10/1/27, and you will keep your current status level through 1/1/28 (provided you meet the current qualification requirements).

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Katrina Fitten. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to educate entrepreneurs—especially women business owners—on how to secure funding responsibly, avoid scams, and develop a strategic financial plan. It also highlights Katrina Fitten’s expertise as CEO/CFO of New Day for You Financial and her mission to help startups and small businesses access capital. Key Takeaways Funding Opportunities & Qualifications Katrina helps women business owners secure up to $100,000 in 100 days or less, with same-day approval and next-day funding. Basic qualifications include: Credit score of 680+ Existing credit lines (at least $10,000) A clear business mission and low-risk profile. Avoiding Scams Beware of unsolicited emails/texts promising easy money. Do your homework: Check companies on Better Business Bureau (BBB). Look for testimonials and partnerships with reputable banks (e.g., Chase, American Express). Never share sensitive information without verifying legitimacy. Importance of a Business Plan Funding is not free money—you need a strategic plan. Katrina calls it a “money mission”: know exactly how funds will be deployed. Without a plan, money disappears quickly, leading to debt and bad credit. Family & Friends Lending Treat personal loans like business loans: Have written agreements with terms, repayment schedule, and penalties. Decide upfront if it’s a gift or a loan. Services Offered by New Day for You Financial SBA loans, equipment loans, purchase order financing. Lines of credit and 0% interest credit cards (18–21 months). Credit card stacking for higher funding amounts. Credit restoration referrals for those with poor credit. Success Story Example: A tax accountant secured $160,000 in less than a week due to strong credit, revenue history, and a solid business plan. Notable Quotes “If you don’t have a plan for your money, your money will have a plan—and you’ll look up and it’s gone.” “We don’t want to be out here racking up good debt and then you’re not going to be responsible.” “You have to vet companies. Go to BBB, Google them, and check their credibility.” “If I give you money, I decide—is it a gift or a loan? There are rules to borrowing money.” “We say if you don’t get anything, we don’t get paid.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us fan responses! Cameras “fail,” files “leak,” and the timeline somehow always protects the right people—so who actually benefits? We open the door on power, optics, and misdirection, not to rehash headlines but to show how attention gets steered and why your focus might be the most valuable asset in the room. If outrage is engineered, your counterplay is strategy.We trace how institutions turn spectacle into cover, how secret orders function more like logistics networks than movie myths, and why public humiliation often serves as a distancing move for elites. From there, we get practical and relentless. We unpack fractional reserve banking in plain English, question how debt, taxes, and policy shape the feeling of “ownership,” and push a mindset shift: invest in engines you understand, not vague promises. If money is policy and credit is a tool, you can learn the vocabulary and win on the margins that most people ignore.Then we put tools in your hands. We walk through arbitration as a real path to relief and cash—documenting hardship from duplicate tradelines, filing through ADR, and negotiating structured settlements. We talk trusts, audits, and how securitization affects the way payments actually move. Finally, we share a ground-level play to turn $1,000 into a wholesale real estate assignment: lock up a deal with a small escrow, package the property with clean data and photos, and assign the contract for a fee. No gurus. Just grit, process, and receipts.If you're tired of being bounced between scandals and want leverage you can use, this conversation is your map. Listen, take notes, and tell us what you're building next.

RenMac breaks down a market that's still trending higher but losing momentum, as 2-year yields flirt with cycle lows and leadership rotates between cyclicals and defensives. The team discusses why GDP and inflation prints are being distorted by the shutdown, why slowing wage growth could become the real 2026 risk, and what Trump's State of the Union, tariffs, and Iran could mean for energy markets. They also tackle whether high yield credit is the canary in the coal mine—and why private equity and private credit may be the bigger vulnerability.

The municipal bond market kicked off 2026 with strength but volatility, supply dynamics, and state-level policy are already shaping the road ahead.In this Weekly Wrap Up, host Eric Kazatsky is joined by Jack Muller, CFA, Credit Analyst at MacKay Municipal Managers, to break down the latest muni insights. They explore why munis have outperformed taxable fixed income so far this year, how richening ratios reflect continued demand, and why investors are keeping a close eye on credit fundamentals.

Today, John Ortberg tackles one of our most stubborn spiritual habits: blame.Tracing its origins back to Genesis, John shows how blame enters the human story the moment shame appears—and how quickly we learn to deflect responsibility onto others. From Adam and Eve to modern relationships, blame becomes our go-to strategy for avoiding pain.Along the way, John draws from Scripture, Paradise Lost, and insights from thinkers like Charles Tilly and Paul Tournier to explore why we instinctively hog credit and dodge fault—and why spiritual maturity looks like learning to own our part with humility and courage.John reminds us that while removing blame can reduce shame, only love actually heals the soul. Real freedom comes not from avoiding responsibility, but from stepping into God's presence honestly, without hiding or deflecting.This is a thoughtful, practical invitation to live one day at a time without blaming others—and to discover again the grace that makes change possible.Download the free NO CONDEMNATION COMMITMENT: https://bit.ly/NC-commitment
