Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. George C. Fraser. He shares insights on closing the wealth gap, creating generational wealth, and helping individuals become more informed about emerging economic opportunities. Key Takeaways 1. Generational Wealth Requires Long-Term Thinking Dr. Fraser emphasized that true wealth is built through intentional planning across generations, not through short-term spending or appearances of success. Families should focus on creating assets and opportunities that benefit future generations. 2. Financial Literacy Is Essential One of Fraser's strongest messages was that financial education is the foundation of economic empowerment. Understanding how money, investments, and capitalism work is critical to achieving financial independence. 3. Traditional Saving Methods Have Limitations Fraser argued that low-interest savings accounts and other conservative financial vehicles often fail to generate meaningful wealth. He encouraged listeners to learn about alternative investment opportunities while understanding associated risks. 4. Cryptocurrency Deserves Study A significant portion of the discussion focused on cryptocurrency. Fraser presented it as a potentially transformative opportunity for wealth creation and encouraged listeners to study the space carefully rather than dismiss it because it is unfamiliar. 5. Stay Curious and Keep Learning Fraser highlighted the importance of lifelong learning. He credited much of his success to intellectual curiosity and a willingness to continuously explore new ideas and opportunities. 6. Knowledge Should Be Shared Rather than keeping valuable information to oneself, Fraser believes successful individuals have a responsibility to teach and uplift others by sharing what they know. 7. Collaboration Creates Greater Success Using examples from sports and business, Fraser stressed that collective effort often produces better results than individual effort. Networking, mentorship, and teamwork are key drivers of success. 8. Start with What You Have Listeners were encouraged not to let limited resources prevent them from investing in their future. Fraser noted that many financial journeys begin with relatively small investments and grow over time. 9. Overcome Fear and Take Action Both McDonald and Fraser discussed how fear often prevents people from pursuing opportunities. They encouraged listeners to do their research, seek guidance, and take calculated risks. Notable Quotes On Generational Wealth "To be black and beautiful in this world means nothing unless you're black and powerful. White folks are planning for three generations and we're planning for Saturday night." On Wealth and Appearance "The rich stay rich by pretending to be poor and the poor stay poor by pretending to be rich." On Financial Education "We have to become financially educated." On Investing "The principle is to put your money to work harder for you than you did for it." On Curiosity "You've got to be intellectually curious. You've got to do the study, take the deep dive so that you can do some critical thinking." On Purpose "The purpose of life is to love, to give, to serve, and to add the highest value to somebody or something every single minute of every single day." On Teamwork "None of us is as good as all of us put together." On Building Wealth "The number one thing that black folks have to focus on in the 21st century is building wealth through financial literacy and financial education." Overall Theme The interview serves as a powerful call to action for listeners to become financially educated, embrace lifelong learning, build wealth intentionally, and share knowledge within their communities. Dr. George C. Fraser advocates for a mindset shift from consumption to ownership, from fear to opportunity, and from individual success to collective economic empowerment. Rushion McDonald reinforces these lessons by encouraging listeners to research, seek mentorship, and actively pursue financial growth rather than waiting for opportunities to come to them. #STRAW #SHMS #BEST Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

[REBROADCAST FROM April 13, 2026] In the new documentary "Everyone is Lying to You for Money," director Ben McKenzie explores the world of cryptocurrency to figure out who stands to profit the most from pushing more people to invest in crypto. He joins us to discuss the film. Image courtesy of C-SPAN Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with TJ Marbois, founder of Tobiko, for a wide-ranging conversation that spans LLMs, data sovereignty, knowledge management tools like Obsidian, and Terence McKenna's ideas about an increasingly weird future. They explore how AI is simultaneously centralizing power through data control while decentralizing software development capabilities, allowing more people to build their own tools and escape big tech ecosystems. Drawing on his experience at Apple's special projects group (the team that built the iPod and later iPhones), TJ discusses his vision for personal AI assistants—what he calls the "R2-D2 belongs to you" principle—where advanced technology serves individuals rather than corporations. The conversation touches on everything from quantum encryption and local manufacturing with ESP32 microcontrollers to the economics of future society, biometric data unions, and why distributed trust matters more than ever as we approach what both describe as an increasingly strange technological inflection point. Visit Tobiko's site at tobiko-pbc.ghost.ioTimestamps00:00 Stewart introduces TJ Marbois from Tobiko, discussing LLMs, data sovereignty, knowledge management, and the tension between centralization and decentralization in AI05:00 TJ explains the R2-D2 belongs to you concept and why personal AI assistants need maternal alignment, caring about humans like mothers care for children10:05 Discussion of how LLMs will shrink and improve while emphasizing the sentient loop concept for building loyal personal AI agents rather than corporate controlled systems15:00 Exploring digital nervous systems for humanity, social networks as infrastructure, and humans as cavemen with iPhones navigating unprecedented technological complexity20:00 TJ discusses data unions for sovereign data ownership, inverting insurance models where AI helps extend healthspan, and maximizing truth seeking through collective data25:30 Money as social construct, crypto enabling value system reengineering, and working toward Star Trek's post scarcity replicator economy from the ground up30:40 Capital formation challenges, corporatism versus true capitalism, and pessimism about current systems reaching limits while seeking new models35:00 Solar power democratization, ESP32 microcontrollers enabling local manufacturing, and the replicator future through distributed maker communities and open source robotics40:00 Science fiction as roadmap, Isaac Asimov and Arthur C Clarke warnings, and building collaborative futures rather than centrally controlled dystopias with useless eaters45:00 Encyclopedia to LLM transition, information quality concerns, local training importance, and NVIDIA's incentive to put GPUs everywhere for personal AI agents50:00 Corrupted financial incentives, protecting vulnerable people from technological exploitation, and benevolent technologists building systems that honor humanity and children55:00 Hardware validation for owned robots, Starlink dependencies, assembly language abstraction toward natural language programming, and preventing AI escape scenarios58:00 Tobiko as AI toy company building sentient loop interactions similar to Xerox PARC GUI moment, emphasizing maternal AI alignment and cross cultural human collaborationKey Insights1. The concept of R2D2 belonging to you represents a critical vision for the future of artificial intelligence and personal technology. When thinking about robots and AI assistants that follow us around and know everything about us, the question of ownership becomes paramount. These systems will know incredibly intimate details about our lives, from our health data to our daily habits, and if they are controlled by centralized corporations or governments rather than individuals, we lose fundamental sovereignty over our own information. The science fiction of Star Wars and Star Trek provides roadmaps for how we should think about these technologies, showing us both the positive possibilities and the warnings we need to heed about centralized control.2. Local AI models and distributed computing represent a pathway to technological sovereignty that is becoming increasingly viable. While large language models currently run primarily in centralized data centers, the technology is rapidly advancing toward a future where powerful models can run locally on personal computers and devices. This shift is crucial because it means individuals can have full control over their AI assistants without relying on API calls to external servers. Combined with open source infrastructure and open weight models, this creates the foundation for truly personal AI that cannot be controlled or monitored by external parties, whether corporations or governments.3. Data unions and collective data ownership offer an alternative model to current centralized data collection practices. Rather than having individual data harvested by large tech companies who profit from it, the concept of data unions suggests people could collectively pool their data for specific beneficial purposes while maintaining ownership and control. For example, in healthcare, millions of people could share anonymized biometric data to train medical AI systems that are incentivized to keep people healthy rather than treat them when sick, inverting the current insurance model to align incentives with actual health outcomes rather than profit from illness.4. The democratization of manufacturing and robotics through accessible technologies like ESP32 microcontrollers and local fabrication tools is creating new possibilities for distributed production. Just as desktop printers seemed impossible to early printers who controlled book production, we are approaching an era where individuals and small communities can manufacture sophisticated electronic devices and robots locally. This includes the ability to use language models to generate code for microcontrollers, order custom PCBs, and use desktop machines for component placement. While high quality manufacturing will still require larger operations, this gradiation of capability allows for much more local innovation and reduces dependence on centralized manufacturing.5. The concentration of power in technology, finance, and industry has reached levels that are unhealthy for both society and even for those who hold the power. When profit and control become too concentrated in the hands of a few entities, it creates a cancerous dynamic that threatens the stability of the entire system. History shows us warnings about the military industrial complex and other concentrated power structures, and now we are seeing similar patterns emerge in the tech industry. The solution requires building technology from the ground up that empowers individuals and communities, focusing on basics like food production, energy generation, and local manufacturing rather than increasing dependence on centralized systems.6. The provenance and quality of information is becoming a critical challenge as AI systems become more sophisticated and reality itself becomes harder to verify. We are rapidly approaching a point where video calls and digital interactions will be indistinguishable from AI generated fakes, which is why figures like Sam Altman have invested in systems like Worldcoin to verify human identity. However, this verification capability should not be centralized in the hands of single companies. End to end encryption and quantum encryption technologies need to be preserved and expanded to allow humans to communicate and verify information peer to peer without centralized intermediaries who could manipulate or control the flow of information.7. The future of human computer interaction is evolving toward sentient loop systems where machines have sensory input, real time learning, context understanding, and continuous operation in service of human needs. Self driving cars represent the first widespread consumer facing example of this architecture, with onboard computers that must function independently while occasionally connecting to networks. The critical question is whether these systems will be aligned to benefit their human users like a caring mother as AI pioneer Geoffrey Hinton suggests, or whether they will be controlled by centralized powers. The technologists building these systems have a responsibility to be benevolent and build structures that serve humanity rather than concentrate power, helping to create a future more like Star Trek than Terminator.

August 28, 2026; 4pm: Jacob Soboroff is in for Nicolle Wallace. "A little excursion" is how Donald Trump described it, at least at the beginning. Not even a REAL WAR... just some swift military action. A conflict that would take all of, quote, "four to five weeks." So much for that. Later, while the war in Iran rages on, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth seems more concerned with stamping out online criticism by employing social media personalities to defend him.

Alex Thorn talks with Gabe Shapiro, CEO of MetaLeX Labs, about onchain corporations, tokenized stocks and companies, and the SEC's new Regulation Crypto Assets. Alex also talks with Beimnet Abebe (Galaxy Trading) about bitcoin's recent move higher, whether the rally can last, the impact on markets from Treasury's new bond buyback strategy, and the durability of the AI trade. Past performance is not indicative of future results.   Participants, along with Galaxy Digital, hold a financial interest in Bitcoin (BTC). Galaxy regularly engages in buying and selling BTC, including hedging transactions, for its own proprietary accounts and on behalf of its counterparties. Galaxy also provides services to vehicles that invest in BTC.  If the value of such assets increases, those vehicles may benefit, and Galaxy's service fees may increase accordingly. The valuation in this communication is based on technical, fundamental, and market analysis and not on any formal valuation method. For more information, please refer to Galaxy's public filings and statements. Cryptocurrencies, including BTC, are inherently volatile and risky and ultimate market movements may not align with this statement.   For additional risks related to digital assets, please refer to the risk factors contained in filings Galaxy Digital Inc. makes with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) from time to time, including its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, available at www.sec.gov.

More To The Story: Ben McKenzie might seem like an unlikely choice to launch an investigation into the complicated world of cryptocurrency. But the television actor known for shows like The O.C. and Gotham did exactly that. His documentary film, Everyone Is Lying to You for Money, is a deep dive into the people and companies at the heart of crypto. The film focuses on McKenzie's journey to discover why people continue to invest in digital currency even while knowing the risks of this highly under-regulated market. On this week's More To The Story, McKenzie shares his concerns for what he calls the cult-like behavior of those investing in digital currency, talks about his interview with disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried just months before his arrest, and discusses the poignant conversations he had with everyday people who trusted the power of digital currency and lost everything—yet are still crypto believers.Producer: Josh Sanburn | Editor: Kara McGuirk-Allison | Theme music: Fernando Arruda and Jim Briggs | Copy editor: Nikki Frick | Digital producer: Artis Curiskis | Intern: Joni Binder | Deputy executive producer: Taki Telonidis | Executive producer: Brett Myers | Executive editor: James West | Host: Al LetsonRead:Easy Money: Cryptocurrency, Casino Capitalism, and the Golden Age of Fraud (Abrams Press)Watch:Everyone Is Lying to You for Money (The Forge)Listen:The Secret Story of FTX's Rise and Ruin Part 1 (Reveal)Listen: So You Don't Understand Crypto.

Chris Michaels, of the show with his name, joins us for a packed friday broadcast that goes beyond the supposed free-minded alternative commentary of world events. Find Chris @CMichaelsShow on X and on Spotify https://t.co/abBhfo5YqlTonight: From personal experience, Ryan and Chris dissect their first and secondhand accounts of local politics being filled with literal drugs and sex. Did Mike Huckabee finally realize how evil Israeli settlers are when he called them “terrorists” or is this simply PR to placate the base? The US bans Central Bank Digital Currency and immediately the White House pushes the crypto firm World Liberty Financial, and Stable Coin. From Tom Alexandrovich to Michael Caruso, the “tickle monster” who was just arrested on child sex abuse charges, disgust over pedophilia is apparently also antisemitic. While Q had you chasing spiral designs in manga or rock paintings, people like Tom get flown back to Israel. Rabbi Shmuley refers to his enemies as reptilians, while Norm Coleman says “the masters of the universe are Jews,”and AIPAC makes a video claiming that Jews are human like the rest of us.  Lastly, when the next Führer comes to power, it is highly likely they will be a combination of Trump and Mamdani.It appears the overall theme here is that every active opposition and resistance is kosher approved. Everything is sex, drugs and a rock and a hard place — what is real and what isn't.  *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements. If you want an ad-free experience, subscribe below.

Maria and Joe are joined by friend of the show ⁠Michele Kellerman⁠. We start with some follow-up from Michele on efforts in the Philippines to crack down on online fraud centers and the ongoing fight against scam operations. Joe explores WhatsApp's new on-device scam detection feature and whether it can actually spot suspicious conversations without compromising privacy. Michele covers an elaborate jury-duty scam that kept a Florida woman on the phone for more than 10 hours, using fake law enforcement, cryptocurrency payments, and stolen personal information to steal more than $25,000. Maria looks at a new wave of back-to-school scams using fake websites, phishing attempts, and AI-generated content to target parents and students. Our Catch of the Day comes from Ami, who discovered that even paying by check isn't foolproof after a mailed check was intercepted, altered, and cashed by someone else.

Robert Nordlander spent over 20 years as a special agent with IRS Criminal Investigation — investigating complex criminal tax and money laundering violations, working undercover operations, executing search and arrest warrants, and building the cases that sent tax evaders and money launderers to federal prison — and in this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he finally tells the complete truth about what that career really looked like from the inside. He shares what cases the IRS Criminal Division actually goes after and prosecutes, what it actually takes to put someone in prison for taxes, the different types of money laundering he investigated, why small business owners evade taxes more than anyone else, how cases came to him and what the investigation process actually looked like, some of the most significant cases of his career, and what the new world of influencers and social media income is producing in terms of tax crime that most people never see coming. _____________________________________________ #irs #taxes #truecrimestories #accountant #cops  _____________________________________________ Thank you to CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Download Cash App Today: https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/ksjh06pb  #CashAppPod Cash App is a financial services platform, not a bank.

Discover why small companies are outperforming. Small-cap stocks are having a standout year, with the Russell 2000 significantly outperforming the S&P 500—but what exactly is the Russell 2000, and why are smaller companies suddenly doing so well? In this episode, you'll learn what this widely followed index represents, what's driving the shift in market leadership, and why stronger earnings, changing interest-rate expectations, AI, and a broadening market could be creating new opportunities beyond the mega-cap stocks that have dominated in recent years. Are you on track for financial freedom...or not? Financial freedom is a combination of money, compounding and time (my McT Formula). How well you invest can make the biggest difference to your financial freedom and lifestyle. If you invested well for the long-term, what a difference it would make because the difference between investing $100k and earning 5 percent or 10 percent on your money over 30 years, is the difference between it growing to $432,194 or $1,744,940, an increase of over $1.3 million dollars. Your compounding rate, and how well you invest, matters!  INVESTING IS WHAT THE BE WEALTHY & SMART VIP EXPERIENCE IS ALL ABOUT - Invest in digital assets and stock ETFs for potential high compounding rates - Receive an Asset Allocation model with ticker symbols and what % to invest -Monthly LIVE investment webinars with Linda 10 months per year, with Q & A -Private VIP Facebook group with daily community interaction -Weekly investment commentary -Extra educational wealth classes available -Pay once, have lifetime access!
