Today's guest is Jack Ablin, CIO at Cresset Asset Management, which manages over $70 billion AUM. Jack was RIA Intel's “CIO of the Year” for 2022 and was previously the CIO at BMO for 17 years.

Season's Greetings Glocal Citizens! I met this week's guest, Derrick N. Ashong, earlier this year in Nairobi at the Charter Cities Institute, 2025 New Cities Summit (https://youtu.be/d9XUzdxKmzo?si=FbITjI8Git8kEb9Q). At the summit, we connected as storytellers that share Ghanaian heritage and formative years spent in Brooklyn, New York. In a glocal citizenship twist, we later came to find that we met virtually years prior through mutual connections in the media and arts spaces. Derrick's work leverages his international upbringing which informs his company's vision for Turning Culture into Currency for creators and fans worldwide. He does this as founder and CEO of TBTM, a media fintech that uses content to onboard global audiences to inclusive financial solutions, with partners like Mastercard. While still a student at Harvard, he played a supporting role in Steven Spielberg's Amistad, and went on to top charts with his band, winning a Billboard Songwriting Award. As a host and producer, he pioneered multi-platform interactive content with Oprah Winfrey, and major media platforms including ABC-Disney and Univision, earning three Emmy nods and a Royal Television Society Award. His original Take Back the Mic television series has won seven major international awards and achieved 1.1 Billion media impressions worldwide. He has delivered electrifying speeches on issues of Youth Culture and Tech for UK Parliament, the United Nations, and the world's most elite business schools, including Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Wharton, Cambridge and London School of Economics. He has interviewed celebrities and global luminaries ranging from Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Kofi Annan, to Zoe Saldaña, Kevin Hart and Steven Wozniak, among others. Most recently, he has delivered keynote speeches for Mastercard, Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and Kigali, as well as SuperReturn Africa--the continent's top investment forum. In this conversation we get to know even more about the next phase of Derrick's vision for flipping the script on creative industry infrastructure in Africa. #Listenandlearn more!

Shame Is A Counterfeit - Love And Grace Is God Currency - 4th AdventFourth Advent: Mary and Joseph each had to deal with 'shame'. This is a human experience but it is not the ‘real thing'. Many of us live and react as a result of deep shame or embarrassment. We do anything and everything to avoid both.

It's our favorite tradition of the year! In this special holiday episode, we step away from the spreadsheets and stock charts to focus on the "mental game" of money: Gratitude. We believe that an Abundance Mindset is critical for financial success.

Today, we are reading anonymous messages from our listeners, friends, and family sharing their wins, reflections, and moments of thanks from 2025. From big financial milestones to the quiet moments that matter most, these stories define what it truly means to be wealthy. In this episode, we celebrate: Real-life stories of resilience and growth from the Creating Wealth community. A list of questions that help you incorporate the process of gratitude into your life. Why reflection is the most important step in year-end financial planning.

Roy Hefer expected a quick coffee. Instead, a “30 minutes” introduction with a newly appointed Lumenis CEO stretched “more than three hours,” he tells us, as they talked through her plan to transform a flat-growth, cash-bleeding medical device company and “ultimately take it public,” he tells us.That conversation marked a shift from theory to ownership. After five years at McKinsey—based out of Tel Aviv, but spending “most of my time abroad,” he tells us—Hefer realized he was “a doer,” he tells us. He loved delivering “an amazing model” and “a very sophisticated framework,” he tells us, but not walking away before execution.At Lumenis, execution became the point. A supply-chain initiative aimed to cut costs by 30%, he tells us; the team “managed to shave, save more than 40% cost,” he tells us. As the company prepared for a NASDAQ IPO in 2014, he tells us, his CFO pulled him closer—and Hefer had what he calls an “aha moment” where he “fell in love with finance,” he tells us, seeing how finance shapes decisions across fundraising, M&A, and expansion, he tells us.Years later, after a second IPO chapter at Hippo Insurance in 2021, he tells us, Hefer chose the CFO path at Perk. There, late 2022 fundraising forced a fork: accept “highly dilutive” capital or pivot toward profitability to become “default alive,” he tells us. For Hefer, that's the job: frame options early, build trust “brick by brick,” he tells us, and let the best decision make itself.

For episode 654 of the BlockHash Podcast, host Brandon Zemp is joined by Jason Dehni of BlackOpal.BlackOpal is an on-chain asset management and payments platform bridging investment-grade yield with emerging market receivables. The problem they're solving is twofold: High-quality merchants in emerging markets pay above-market premiums for working capital, not because they're risky, but because legacy banking is expensive, slow, and opaque. Meanwhile, institutional capital in developed markets is starved for low-risk emerging market yield.BlackOpal specializes in credit card receivables, underwriting based on historical and real time transactions, and acquiring them via short-duration True Sale structures. Credit risk is further minimized through repayment by AA+ counterparties like Visa and Mastercard, resulting in near zero credit default. Currency risk is hedged via Non-Deliverable Forwards (NDFs). ⏳ Timestamps: (0:00) Introduction(0:51) Who is Jason Dehni?(3:03) What is Black Opal?(6:15) Gemstone vs. LiquidStone II(8:27) User protection & transparency(10:43) What makes Black Opal unique?(13:15) Where are Black Opal's products available?(15:04) Future opportunities in the Digital Asset market(19:35) Tokenization in the near future(23:50) Black Opal roadmap 2026(25:49) Events & conferences(27:08) Black Opal website & socials

This Weekend Show is all about precious metals momentum, and the why behind it. Brien Lundin argues we're watching the classic bull-market baton pass...
Social media has been raging about the coming "deadly" storm that is to be striking the East Coast. So far, the weather is mild with one or two possible snow days. Why all the drama? That is the question we need to be asking with everything. Once you accept the things you can control and let go of the things you can't control, fear releases its hold. As we move deeper into the Ai enslavement model, that principle is the foundation of navigating the changing landscape. Everything is spiritual at its root; and this war is a spiritual war. Stay centered. Be still.

This episode of The Spiritual Investor Podcast is about how you enter the Year of the Horse as a different version of yourself, rather than dragging the Year of the Snake along with you. We look at attachment, time, and identity through the lens of money. Instead of trying to "fix" the past, I walk you through how to step out of linear time, see where you're still recreating old stories, and begin living as the version of you who is already free now. I share more about the inner work I've been doing this year, including a recent therapy session that brought up childhood loneliness, and how merging that younger self with who I am today has changed the way I hold my own history. We explore why attachment isn't something you get rid of, but something you stop identifying with, and how choosing just two primary states of being for 2026 — joy and silence — can dissolve the heaviness you've been carrying. We also talk about energetic currency and money: how to design the energy of your life alongside the energy of your investments, why you don't need perfection or huge amounts of capital, and how steady, values-aligned decisions can quietly compound over time. This is about entering 2026 feeling open, spacious, and resourced, not overwhelmed and contracted. If you're ready to take this deeper into your financial life, this is the work we do inside The Spiritual Investor Mastermind. Enrollment is now open for the next round beginning February 3, 2026. You can apply at thespiritualinvestor.com.

Interview recorded - 2nd of December, 2025On this episode of the WTFinance podcast I had the pleasure of welcoming on Bill Moreland. Bill is the founder of Bankregdata.During our conversation we spoke about Bills thoughts on the credit markets, regulatory shift, risk in banks, private credit risks, large bank blowup and more. I hope you enjoy!0:00 - Introduction1:18 - Overview of credit markets7:27 - Regulatory shift24:38 - What does this mean?32:53 - Private credit44:48 - Large bank blowup53:33 - One message to takeaway?Bill Moreland is a partner in a company/website called BankRegData.com. The Austin, Texas company BankRegData started in 2010 to provide a web aggregated Federal Depository Insurance Company (FDIC) insured Bank Quarterly Call Report data and additionally offer a narrative/interpretation on the bank book dynamics (see 2016 Q4 Asset Review or Winners & Losers: Citigroup). Since 2012 this data is taken from the FFIEC Central Data Repository. FFIEC is the acronym for the Federal Financial Institution Examination Council. The FFIEC is an interagency standards committee across five banking regulators including: Federal Reserve Board of Governors , Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, National Credit Union Administration, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (note the Securities Exchange Commission is not listed as one of the regulators in the FFIEC.). What BankRegData does is aggregate, and to some degree normalize, the Quarterly Call Report Data. BankRegData will get you (to a good first approximation) the distribution of securities ( deposits, mortgages, credit card accounts, loans, and tradable securities) at a quarterly aggregation level across the Banking Book of the major Bank Holding Companies.Bill Moreland - Website - https://www.bankregdata.com/main.aspX - https://x.com/BankRegDataLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/bill-moreland-097586/WTFinance -Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/67rpmjG92PNBW0doLyPvfniTunes -https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wtfinance/id1554934665?uo=4LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthony-fatseas-761066103/Twitter - https://twitter.com/AnthonyFatseas

Ray Dalio, founder of one of the world's largest hedge funds, Bridgewater Associates, joins us for a special edition of The Outthinking Investor. Dalio sat down with PGIM's George Patterson, Chief Investment Officer of Quantitative Solutions, for a conversation about anticipating the onset of big market cycles and constructing balanced portfolios for new regimes. They discuss the impact of idiosyncratic risks and geopolitical shifts; the evolution of public and private credit markets; AI's transformative influence on the global economy; the five major forces that create big cycles; and the interplay between sovereign debt, the U.S. dollar, gold, and central banks. To understand big cycles, investors must look beyond the headlines and through a historical lens, Dalio explains. Do you have any comments, suggestions, or topics you would like us to cover?

In this episode, Don and Tom saddle up for a tour through Schwab's “Good, Bad, and Ugly.” They applaud CEO Rick Wurster's warning about the growing overlap between gambling and investing, take a hard look at Schwab's retail-side conflicts and non-fiduciary sales practices, and then recoil at the truly ugly: Schwab's acquisition of Forge Global and its push to open private-company speculation to everyday investors. From there, they field listener questions about crypto's pointless search for a purpose, how to implement a disciplined 5 percent retirement withdrawal strategy, the ins and outs of tax-free Vanguard mutual-fund-to-ETF conversions, and whether a younger spouse should convert a large TSP balance to Roth.
