Podcasts about easy money

Mark Thornton replays his wide-ranging Kitco News interview with Jeremy Szafron, connecting today's “two economies” to Ludwig von Mises's Austrian business cycle theory. Easy money and credit inflation lift asset owners, big corporations, and government finance, while working families get the bill through higher prices and weaker real wages. They discuss late-cycle signals in tech and AI and broader corporate credit, and how war-driven energy shocks feed into a wider commodity surge. Mark also breaks down Cantillon effects at the kitchen-table level and closes with bottom-up strategies like local resilience, savings, and removing tax barriers to using gold and silver as practical inflation protection.2026 is the Year of Rothbard—Murray's 100th birthday—and we're celebrating by giving away free copies of Anatomy of the State through May 31.

In this episode, Michael Blank sits down with veteran capital raiser Bronson Hill to unpack what's really happening in today's alternative investment landscape—and how investors should respond. After years of easy money, rapid appreciation, and aggressive multifamily growth, the market has shifted dramatically. Bronson shares candid lessons from raising over $55 million across multifamily, debt funds, oil & gas, mobile home parks, and private equity, while discussing the painful realities many operators and investors have faced over the last few years. Together, they explore market cycles, investor psychology, diversification, risk-adjusted returns, AI-driven due diligence, and why today's challenging environment may actually create the best buying opportunities of the next decade. This is a masterclass in navigating uncertainty while staying focused on long-term financial freedom.Key TakeawaysThe Best Investment Opportunities Often Appear During Fearful Markets Historically, the strongest deals emerge when investors are hesitant, cautious, and sitting on the sidelines—not when everyone is rushing in.Market Cycles Matter More Than Most Investors Realize Understanding when to buy, hold, pause, or sell within an asset class is critical to long-term success and capital preservation.Diversification Can Help Investors Weather Volatility Exploring non-correlated assets like debt funds, precious metals, oil & gas, or private equity can create stability during turbulent market cycles.Cash Flow Is King in Today's Environment Investors are prioritizing assets that generate immediate or near-term cash flow over speculative appreciation plays.Great Operators Communicate During Difficult Times Strong communication, transparency, and accountability matter even more than perfect track records when navigating challenging investments.AI Is Becoming a Powerful Tool for Investor Due Diligence Investors can now use AI tools to analyze deals, uncover risks, generate questions, and align opportunities with their personal financial goals faster than ever before.Connect with MichaelFacebookInstagramYouTubeTikTokResourcesTheFreedomPodcast.com Access the #1 FREE Apartment Investing Course (Apartments 101)Schedule a Free Strategy Session with Michael's Team of AdvisorsExplore Michael's Mentoring ProgramJoin the Nighthawk Equity Investor ClubReview the Podcast on Apple PodcastsSyndicated Deal AnalyzerGet the Book, Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing by Michael Blank For full episode show notes visit: https://themichaelblank.com/podcasts/session524/

Ben McKenzie (Everyone Is Lying to You for Money, Easy Money) is an actor, author, and outspoken cryptocurrency skeptic. Ben joins Armchair Expert to discuss growing up in a civically minded family in Austin, studying economics at the University of Virginia, and stumbling into acting success with early fame on an unnamed hit show. Ben and Dax talk about navigating imposter syndrome after overnight success, transitioning from acting into writing and directing, and what led him into investigating crypto markets during the pandemic. Ben explains why behavioral economics reveals how irrational people really are, how financial systems exploit trust and hype, and why the promise of “easy money” taps into something dangerously universal.Sign up now in the app or at grubhub.com/plus/golddays to unlock exclusive Gold Days deals.Check Allstate first for a quote that could save you hundreds: https://www.allstate.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Are You Scared Of Easy Money? Ever feel like a fraud when money comes easy? In this episode, David Ralph deconstructs "Mental Concrete"—the deep-seated belief that wealth must be tied to suffering. Using the "Thousand Pound Litmus Test," David reveals why we're programmed to be suspicious of ease and addicted to the grind. We explore the transition from a Peasant Mindset to Success Architecture, shifting from trading hours for sweat to building "pipes" that deliver value on autopilot. Learn why busyness is often just "lazy thinking" and how to secure your "Cognitive Liberty." Stop carrying buckets to a well that's already been tapped. It's time to break the concrete and let the machine work harder than you do.

Crypto is back—new hype cycles, rising prices, and fresh promises that this time cryptocurrency is changing the financial system for good. But the questions haven't changed: is this innovation or just another wave of speculation, scams, and financial fraud? That's why we're revisiting this conversation with actor and author Ben McKenzie—whose bestselling book Easy Money: Cryptocurrency, Casino Capitalism, and the Golden Age of Fraud and new documentary, Everyone is Lying to You For Money are once again fueling the debate over crypto's real impact. What started as curiosity became a deeper look at how the crypto boom blurred the line between investing and gambling—and what that reveals about an economy increasingly driven by speculation instead of real value. McKenzie joins Nick and Goldy to pull back the curtain on the hype, the believers, and the system that made it all possible. Ben McKenzie is an actor, author, and director best known for his roles on The O.C., Southland, and Gotham. A graduate of the University of Virginia with a degree in economics and foreign affairs, he has emerged as a leading critic of the cryptocurrency industry. He is the co-author, with journalist Jacob Silverman, of Easy Money: Cryptocurrency, Casino Capitalism, and the Golden Age of Fraud, and has expanded that work into a documentary, Everyone is Lying to You For Money , examining the rise—and risks—of crypto.

Will Thomson of Massif Capital reviews three stock picks he has shared on MSE over the years and discusses two other stocks he currently owns. He also explains why “country risk” is company-specific and depends on the relationship between a firm and the state, not an inherent risk in a country. Thomson argues consistent returns in real-asset equities come less from predicting commodity prices and more from identifying management teams that execute, noting commodity price explains much of day-to-day moves but little of longer-term equity returns beyond about 90 days. 00:00 Show Intro and Guest 01:29 Easy Money vs Full Cycle 03:00 Why Commodities Cancel Out 07:15 Where Massive Cap Invests 09:05 Equinox Gold Playbook 12:17 Kazatomprom Fundamentals Win 15:10 Global Atomic and Niger Risk 22:05 Fixers Versus Bribes 23:06 Playing the Lobbying Game 24:29 Mexico Cartel Risk 27:17 Jurisdictional vs Geological Risk 27:57 Alphamin Exit Strategy 30:15 Security Versus Jurisdiction Risk 31:15 Lithium Americas Trade Lessons 32:54 Favorite Metals Right Now 33:45 Fund Management Marketing 36:46 Where to Follow Will https://x.com/wmthomson22 https://massif.substack.com/ Sign up for our free newsletter and receive interview transcripts, stock profiles and investment ideas: http://eepurl.com/cHxJ39 Mining Stock Education (MSE) offers informational content based on available data but it does not constitute investment, tax, or legal advice.

In this Good Morning Hospitality, A Skift Podcast Bonus episode, Brandreth Canaley and Michael Goldin sit down with Tim Rosolio, VP of Vacation Rental Partnerships at Vrbo/Expedia Group, from a standout “Vacation Rental of the Year” property in New Hampshire. Tim breaks down what actually drives performance on Vrbo today, from must-have amenities and pricing strategies to the growing importance of quality, consistency, and reviews in an increasingly saturated market. He shares why the short-term rental “gold rush” is officially over, and what operators need to do now to stay competitive. The conversation also dives into Expedia Group's broader strategy, including the rapid growth of B2B distribution, the expansion of vacation rentals across Expedia's ecosystem, and how new tools like promotions and sponsored listings are changing visibility and bookings. They also tackle AI in travel, where it's already delivering value, where it's overhyped, and why the human element still matters in hospitality.

A surge in Lego thefts is exposing a growing black market where high-value sets are stolen and resold for quick cash, with recent arrests pointing to organized retail crime. A Pennsylvania man is charged after police say he left a young dog behind at an airport, then tried to blame someone else. Drew Nelson reports.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Guy Adami interviews investor George Noble about truth-telling, integrity, and eroding confidence in institutions and markets. They discuss trading realism (being right even 25% can be great), the dangers of becoming owned by a public position, and how results-chasing misallocates capital. Noble critiques passive investing for suppressing price discovery and warns reversals could be violent, citing Japan's 1980s liquidity-driven market. He argues bonds are mispriced given deficits and inflation, expects rates/yields higher even if cuts come, and views asset gains as fiat currency debasement; he advocates owning gold (and some oil) as an inflation hedge. He criticizes private credit/equity as “mark-to-model” volatility laundering and urges real price discovery.

In this episode of The IT Experts Podcast, we explore why many MSP owners are sitting on easy money without realising the scale of the opportunity already inside their existing client base. This practical break fix edition is designed to give you clarity, structure, and a clear set of actions you can take straight away to improve profitability, strengthen relationships, and build more predictable growth.     A common challenge for MSPs is the hesitation around commercial conversations. You may have built strong technical trust with your clients over many years, yet still feel uncertain about how to introduce discussions around investment, value, or change. This episode reframes that concern. When you approach account management from a position of leadership and service, you are not selling in a pushy way. You are guiding your clients towards better outcomes. This is often where MSPs discover they have been sitting on easy money for far longer than they expected.     The conversation begins with a reminder that growth does not always require new leads or more marketing activity. In many cases, the fastest path to stronger margins comes from improving the way you review and support the clients you already serve. By implementing a structured account management rhythm, you begin to uncover gaps in services, overlooked risks, and new opportunities to add value. This is where sitting on easy money becomes a practical reality rather than a catchy idea.     One of the first steps discussed is creating a clear view of your current client base. When you take time to list every client and assess their value, engagement, and future potential, you start to see patterns emerge. This simple discipline builds focus and removes assumptions. From there, you can identify whitespace opportunities where clients may benefit from additional services that align with their goals. This structured review process helps MSP owners recognise that they have been sitting on easy money simply because the right conversations have not been happening consistently.     Security and business risk also play a central role in the episode. When you lead with risk awareness and strategic guidance, you position your MSP as a trusted advisor rather than a reactive support provider. Clients value clarity around the impact of vulnerabilities and the steps required to strengthen resilience. These discussions often open the door to improvements that increase both client confidence and recurring revenue. Again, this reinforces the idea that MSPs are often sitting on easy money through unmet needs that have yet to be explored.     Pricing hygiene is another theme that encourages thoughtful action. Reviewing legacy agreements and ensuring your pricing reflects the value you deliver is essential for long term sustainability. By communicating openly about cost drivers, service evolution, and the importance of profitability, you maintain trust while protecting the future of your business. Many MSP leaders find that once they begin these conversations, the fear reduces and the benefits become clear. The belief that you are sitting on easy money becomes a motivating insight that drives positive change.     The episode also highlights the importance of regular business reviews. These structured conversations create space to understand your clients' ambitions, challenges, and growth plans. When you align your services with their direction, you strengthen partnerships and unlock new opportunities. This approach moves you from being seen as a supplier to being valued as a strategic contributor. Over time, this shift builds momentum and reinforces the message that sitting on easy money is often about applying consistent leadership rather than chasing quick wins.     Education plays a powerful role in this journey. Many clients are unaware of the full scope of what their MSP can offer. By sharing your advisory capabilities, innovation plans, and compliance expertise, you help them make informed decisions. Clear recommendations delivered with confidence create reassurance and accelerate progress. When you systemise this entire process through repeatable frameworks and defined rhythms, you build a mature operating model that supports sustainable growth.     Ultimately, this episode is a reminder that profitable expansion can begin with the relationships you already have. By focusing on value, structure, and strategic conversations, MSP owners can move from reactive habits to confident leadership. Sitting on easy money is not about shortcuts. It is about recognising potential, taking deliberate action, and building a business that delivers results for both you and your clients.     Make sure to check out our Ultimate MSP Growth Guide, a free guide that walks you through a proven process to take your MSP from stuck to scalable, without working even more hours. It's 44 pages rammed with advice, insights and inspiration to help you decide what support is available to you now if you want to grow and scale your business.

For more than a decade, businesses operated in an environment of easy capital. Low interest rates, aggressive funding cycles, and abundant investment made rapid expansion feel normal. Growth was often measured by speed rather than sustainability. But that era is changing. In Episode 683 of Daily Influence, Brian Smith explores The New Capital Reality — Growth Without Easy Money and why financial discipline is becoming one of the defining leadership skills of our time. As capital tightens and expectations increase, leaders are being asked a different question: not “How fast can you grow?” but “How responsibly can you operate?” Brian examines the risks of ego-driven scaling, the importance of cash flow maturity, and how S.M.A.R.T. break-even management creates clarity when resources are constrained. Because constraint does not weaken leadership. It reveals it. And ultimately, financial maturity is not just about numbers—it reflects how responsibly leaders steward the resources entrusted to them. Financial maturity is influence maturity. Listen now on your favorite podcast platform.

Mike Colter (Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, Evil) joins us for a deeply reflective and grounded conversation about confidence, discipline, and what it really takes to sustain a career in Hollywood without losing yourself. Mike opens up about early support versus later self doubt, nearly being pushed out of grad school, and how proving people wrong became fuel rather than resentment. He talks about why Luke Cage changed his life but never defined him, why he values trust over prestige, and how self worth comes from being comfortable alone. Thank you to our sponsors:

If you've ever wondered whether slowing down will cost you everything you've built… this episode is for you.In this conversation, Sabrina Gebhardt shares what it actually looks like to build a business you can embody — not just teach. We talk about the long game of entrepreneurship, why rushing from “doing the thing” to “teaching the thing” rarely works, and how true authority is built through years of lived experience.Sabrina opens up about something that made absolutely no sense on paper: intentionally setting down two significant (and easy) revenue streams in her business. She walks us through what it felt like to trust her intuition, navigate the fear of losing momentum, and create space for both her family and a massive internal business transformation.We also talk about the reality no one wants to admit: when you slow down, you will lose momentum. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. Sabrina shares what it really takes to rebuild and why seasons of hustle aren't failure… they're part of running a business.

Ireland has spent the last two decades riding a unique position: European by treaty, American by economics, a “bridgehead” for US multinationals into the EU, and a country whose prosperity has quietly depended on America's outsized pull on global capital. But if the US and Europe drift into a real rupture, Ireland becomes the uncomfortable jockey straddling two horses heading in opposite directions. In this episode, we map the cold numbers behind Ireland's exposure, exports, FDI, and the corporate tax windfall, and then pivot to a genuinely optimistic idea: using the last of the US windfall not just to cushion the future, but to build it. Think infrastructure now, and a Schumpeter-style startup fund that turns the country into an innovation machine before the sugar daddy's money slows down. Hosted on Acast.

Today, Ben is joined by fellow Catholic Financial Planners Network members Joe Petry and Nick Shiver for a thoughtful conversation on the enduring relationship between risk and reward—and how prudence, discipline, and faith shape wise financial decision-making. Together, they unpack why higher returns always require greater risk, why “get rich quick” strategies prey on greed and impatience, and how human psychology often works against us when markets feel exciting or urgent. Drawing from economics, philosophy, and lived client experience, Joe and Nick emphasize the importance of having a clear financial plan, understanding which risks are truly compensated, and building guardrails that prevent emotion, boredom, or fear of missing out from derailing long-term goals. They explore the value of boring, diversified strategies, the proper role of alternatives and speculative “play money,” and why excitement is often a warning sign rather than a virtue in investing. Woven throughout the discussion is a call to embrace discipline, simplicity, and trust—recognizing that true stewardship is not about chasing easy money, but about aligning risk, effort, and expectations with a life well ordered toward lasting purpose.Key Takeaways:• Risk and reward are inseparably linked—higher returns always require greater risk. Investments that claim “no risk” with high returns should be dismissed immediately.• Humans are wired poorly for risk assessment, especially under fear or excitement.• Risk should be understood, planned for, and managed—not avoided entirely.• A small “play” or “cowboy” account can scratch the itch for speculation without endangering the plan.• Alternatives and real estate can have a role—but never as the foundation of retirement planning.• There are no shortcuts that bypass effort, patience, or sacrifice.Key Timestamps:(00:00) – The Relationship Between Risk and Reward(09:17) – Balancing Optimism and Caution(17:24) – The Dangers of Get Rich Quick Schemes(21:07) – Guardrails and Financial Plans(28:57) – The Benefits of a Simple, Boring Life(34:08) – Alternative Investments and DiversificationKey Topics Discussed:Catholic Money Mastermind, Catholic financial planning, Catholic financial planners, Catholic financial advisors, Ben Martinek, faith and financesMentions:Joe Petry: https://www.mayfair-financial.com/ Nick Shiver: https://www.calmwateradvisors.com/ More of Catholic Money Mastermind:Catholic Money Mastermind Podcast is a personal podcast meant for educational and entertainment.

On October 5, 2004, Rodney Dangerfield — the legendary comedian whose trademark line “I don't get no respect” became one of the most iconic catchphrases in entertainment history — passed away at the age of 82. Rising from years of struggle in comedy clubs and working odd jobs, Dangerfield broke through with a relentless, self-deprecating style that reshaped stand-up comedy and influenced generations of comics. He became a household name through classic films like Caddyshack, Back to School, and Easy Money, while also earning acclaim for dramatic performances that revealed unexpected depth beyond his comedic persona. With razor-sharp timing, fearless honesty, and an everyman relatability, Dangerfield turned insecurity into art and failure into punchlines. By the time of his passing, he was revered not just as a comedian, but as a pioneer who transformed personal frustration into universal laughter and forever changed the language of comedy.

In this episode of The Blueprint Podcast, I break down one of the simplest deals I've ever done. A pre-auction purchase that created nearly £200,000 in equity and £3,000 a month in cashflow, all with no money left in.   I walk through why the numbers made it obvious, how buying at £47,500 per room in a prime area was a no-brainer, how securing the operator during conveyancing locked in the deal, and how the entire process, purchase, refurb, lease, and refinance, was completed inside 90 days.   This isn't hype. It's maths, speed, and decision-making. A real example of how easy money looks when you know exactly what you're doing.   Success and Failure are both very Predictable    We hope you enjoy....!

LaTascia Taylor thought she had met her fairy tale. Charming. Successful. Confident. The kind of man who walks into your life and makes you feel seen. But what started as love quickly unraveled into manipulation, danger, and a criminal empire she never saw coming. What LaTascia didn't know was that the man she fell for was running a major drug operation. And little by little, he pulled her in. First moving money across state lines… then transporting packages… and eventually flying internationally with drugs hidden in luggage. She found herself in way too deep — and on a flight to Europe, everything came crashing down. Arrested. In a foreign country. No support. No way home. And stuck for 2 years in an overseas prison. #truecrime #survivalstory #prisonstories #traumarecovery #toxicrelationships #drugtrafficking #lockedinwithianbick #secondchances Thank you to BLUECHEW & BRUNT for sponsoring this episode: BlueChew: Visit https://bluechew.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout to get your first month of BlueChew & pay five bucks for shipping.

In 1920, a broke immigrant in Boston became one of America's richest, most infamous men—practically overnight. In just nine months, he swindled the modern equivalent of a quarter billion dollars, upended the world of finance, and etched his name into history as the mastermind behind one of the most notorious scams ever: the Ponzi scheme.Featuring me in the role of Charles Ponzi, and hosted by journalist Maya Lau, Easy Money: The Charles Ponzi Story is a docudrama that captures the rise and fall—both outrageous and tragic—of the con artist who fooled the world and paid the price.
