Johann Kurtz returns to TFTC to explain why young people are broke despite rising real wages and falling unemployment. Kurtz and Marty Bent break down the measurement problem buried inside GDP and inflation data, the two-income trap, collapsing home ownership, and the real cost of living in a low-trust society. They dig into social capital, status games, the fertility collapse, and why tight-knit virtue-driven communities still produce large families. A grounded macro conversation about money, family formation, and building a life worth living.

Melody Wright returns to unpack a housing market collapse accelerating faster than 2008. Foreclosure referrals are spiking 150% month over month, FHA delinquencies are climbing past 12%, and multifamily real estate securitizations are showing signs of fraud, mismarked debt, and vanishing capital. Wright and Marty dig into United Wholesale Mortgage's balance sheet troubles, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac exposure, private credit stress, commercial real estate maturity walls, and why Bitcoin remains the hedge against a monetary system built on unchecked credit creation.

In this week's episode of This Week in AML, John Byrne and Elliot Berman break down Treasury's renewed sanctions campaign against Iran and discuss what it could mean for global trade, enforcement efforts, and China's role in the sanctions landscape. They also examine the U.S. decision to remove Syria from its State Sponsors of Terrorism list, a move that could pave the way for reintegration into the global financial system and future engagement with FATF standards. Additional topics include Singapore's new Social Media Code of Practice aimed at reducing financial scams on major platforms, Europol's warning about increasingly violent museum heists, updates from OCCRP on corruption and money laundering investigations, and the FDIC's efforts to streamline the deposit insurance application process for new banks. Plus, a look at recent anti-corruption research from the Basel Institute on Governance and upcoming AML-focused educational events.

What if creativity isn't a talent you're born with, but a muscle you've simply stopped using? In Daily Creative, Blythe Harris and Mallory May make the case that everyone is creative — even the people convinced they can't draw, paint, write, or make anything “good.” The real problem is that perfectionism, routine, and our obsession with getting things right have trained many of us to stop experimenting altogether. In this conversation with Rufus, Blythe and Mallory reveal why even a few minutes of creative play can boost well-being, sharpen your thinking, and pull you out of autopilot. They share simple ways to quiet your inner critic, explain why constraints can actually make you more creative, and show how noticing what catches your eye can help you develop a point of view that's genuinely your own. And in an age of AI and automation, they argue that exercising your creativity may matter more than ever.

Matt Dines returns to break down a week of escalating monetary chaos. Scott Bessent doubles the Treasury buyback limit to $4 billion, Stanley Druckenmiller fires a public warning shot in the Wall Street Journal, and the US-Canada trade relationship collapses into 50% tariffs. Matt maps the mechanics behind treasury auctions, yield curve defense, and the offshore dollar's unwind, then connects "Operation Economic Outcast" and Iran's oil smuggling scandal to a broader financial war. Plus tokenized securities, the stalled Clarity Act, the ARMA bill, and what Bitcoin's five-sigma candle actually signaled.

Send us Fan MailOlivia Fox Cabane, author of the international bestseller The Charisma Myth, joins Joe to explore the science and practice of charisma—what it really is, why the biggest myths about it persist, and how anyone can deliberately develop it.This episode dismantles the idea that charisma is an innate, magical quality reserved for a lucky few. Olivia shows that charisma is a set of learned behaviors built on three core elements—presence, power, and warmth—that can be dialed up or down depending on personality, situation, and goals. She explains how these elements work together (much like sugar, fat, and salt) to create the powerful effect we label “charisma,” and why first impressions form in under two seconds largely through body language rather than status symbols or titles.Olivia also unpacks the internal work required: managing the inner critic, dismantling imposter syndrome, using visualization and gratitude to shift mindset, and practicing self-compassion so confidence (and therefore power) can show up externally. She shares practical tools for presence (from a two-second toe focus to short meditation), warmth, and power, while warning about the real downsides of leaving the “charisma switch” on too long—people oversharing, leaders persuading others of flawed ideas, and the emotional cost of constant high output.Joe and Olivia also discuss:Why presence, power, and warmth must all reach a minimum threshold, yet different “flavors” of charisma (authority, kindness, visionary, etc.) emerge from which element is strongest How body language consistently outweighs titles, cars, or clothing in conveying power Why distraction (especially phones) instantly kills charisma and how even a 17-millisecond delay in facial response registers as inauthentic The role of self-criticism as the biggest inhibitor of power—and why self-compassion and instant self-forgiveness are essential tools Practical ways to combat imposter syndrome: destigmatize it, detach from the feeling, and reframe it as useful fuel Visualization techniques (and gratitude practices) for generating genuine warmth before walking into a room How to accept compliments so the other person feels good for giving them Emotional contagion in leadership and why a leader's calm under stress can steady an entire team The surprising science of voice, online charisma (bandwidth, camera angle, gesturing even when unseen), and why lower pitch is not inherently more charismatic The darker sides of high charisma: over-persuasion of bad ideas, people getting “hooked,” and the need to sometimes dial it down Why self-regulation is the single most important underlying skillThis episode is for anyone who wants to become more influential, present, and effective—whether in leadership, sales, interviews, or everyday interactions—without relying on status or personality luck. It is also for those who already feel charismatic and want to use the skill more deliberately and responsibly, for founders and managers seeking healthier team dynamics, and for anyone ready to treat charisma as a trainable set of behaviors rather than a fixed trait.A special thanks to this week's sponsors!Veteran-founded Adyton.

Dr. Roman Yampolskiy is a professor of computer science at the University of Louisville and one of the world's leading AI safety researchers, credited with coining the term "AI safety" over a decade ago. In this conversation, we break down why he believes superintelligence may be fundamentally uncontrollable, and the recent incidents of AI models hacking, lying, and blackmailing their way out of containment. We also get into the surprising relationship between AI and bitcoin, the collapse of trust from deepfakes, and what happens to jobs and society once we cross the AGI threshold.=========================Arch Public is an agentic trading platform that automates investment strategies across Stocks, Commodities, ETFs and Crypto.

Alex Bergeron of Ark Labs joins Marty Bent to unpack the Coldcard exploit, the Boltz shutdown, and what AI-driven attacks mean for Bitcoin self-custody. Bergeron argues the maximalist dogma around trustlessness held back innovation, and that collaborative custody, covenants, and vaults are the path forward. The conversation covers Arkade's smart-signer architecture, spending policies, RFQ intents for Lightning swaps, Bitcoin-backed lending markets, and why he calls it collaborative finance instead of DeFi. Plus: vibe coding, open source models, and whether AI can write secure Bitcoin software.

Today, we're revisiting Rufus's conversation with Yuval Noah Harari about his book Nexus. It's Harari at his best — a soaring overview of human history that turns, almost imperceptibly, into a gripping argument about the world we are building right now. The questions he raises about how AI affects our politics are even more relevant now than they were back then. At the time, Harari warned that AI was moving "much, much faster" than he expected. Since then, it has only accelerated — and so have Harari's concerns. At Davos this year, he said: "Anything made of words will be taken over by AI. If laws are made of words, then AI will take over the legal system. If books are just combinations of words, then AI will take over books." Which makes the ideas they explore in this conversation feel less like speculation about the future and more like a description of the present. __________

Enova International has spent two decades using machine learning underwriting to serve consumers and small businesses who sit outside prime bank criteria, and its pending $369 million acquisition of Grasshopper Bank would give it a national charter for the first time. Steve Cunningham became CEO in January 2026 after nearly a decade as the company's CFO, following earlier stops as a bank regulator at the FDIC and as chief risk officer at Discover. He joins the show to explain what a fully digital lender looks for in a nonprime borrower, why credit quality looks solid in his portfolio right now, and how he's answering the senators and state attorneys general who want regulators to block the Grasshopper deal.What We CoveredSteve's path from FDIC regulator to Capital One, Harley-Davidson, and DiscoverMoving from the CFO chair to the CEO chair six months inEnova's brand portfolio: CashNet, NetCredit, and OnDeckUnderwriting nonprime and near-prime consumers versus underwriting small businessesThe lift Enova's proprietary models get over a plain FICO or VantageScoreWhy all their products use different underwriting modelsWhat Enova's weekly vintage data shows about the health of the consumerWhy gas prices matter less to consumer spending than headlines suggestHow Enova is using generative and agentic AI across the businessThe real thesis behind the Grasshopper Bank acquisition (see my podcast with CEO Mike Butler)Steve's response to the senators and state attorneys general opposing the dealWhat banking-as-a-service adds to Enova's roadmapWhere Enova wants to be by 2030Key TakeawaysEnova's NetCredit yields and losses aren't outliers when benchmarked against what banks themselves report to the FDIC each quarter, Cunningham argues, pushing back on the "predatory" framing critics apply to the company.The Grasshopper deal is primarily about simplifying a patchwork of direct state licenses and bank partnership arrangements, not chasing cheap deposits, though the deposit base is a welcome bonus.Because Enova's consumer loans repay every two weeks or faster, the company sees shifts in borrower behavior in its own vintage data well before those shifts show up in macro statistics.Small business underwriting at Enova is built around the health of roughly 900 different industry codes rather than a borrower's personal credit, making it a fundamentally different discipline than consumer underwriting.About Steve CunninghamSteve Cunningham is CEO of Enova International, a role he took on in January 2026 after nearly a decade as the company's CFO. He previously served as chief risk officer and treasurer at Discover, CFO of Harley-Davidson Financial Services, held senior finance roles at Capital One, and began his career as a bank regulator at the FDIC.Connect with Fintech One-on-One:Tweet me @PeterRentonConnect with me on LinkedInFind previous Fintech One-on-One episodes

Chase Koch joins Marty Bent to break down principle-based management, the operating system behind Koch Industries' 86 years and 9,000x growth. Chase explains why he stepped down as president of the fertilizer business after nine months, how comparative advantage and creative destruction shape decisions across 140,000 employees, and why sizing your bets to your knowledge beats chasing quarterly numbers. The conversation covers bottom-up AI adoption, Austrian economics, Federal Reserve overreach, motivation beyond money, and the education entrepreneurs building 5,000 new schools outside a broken K-12 system.

Your brain is a master storyteller. The problem? It's also an unreliable narrator. We like to think our beliefs are built on facts, logic, and careful reasoning. But psychologist and author Owen Fitzpatrick argues that the process often works in reverse: we decide what feels true, then search for evidence that proves us right. This can reinforce limiting beliefs, fuel political polarization, and make us surprisingly susceptible to propaganda. In this conversation with guest host Michael Kovnat, Owen explores how these narratives shape our confidence, identity, and decisions — and what it takes to change them.

Former Rasmussen pollster Mark Mitchell breaks down why Trump's Iran pivot is tanking his populist coalition ahead of the 2026 midterms. The Honest Poll founder exposes rigged polling, GOP donor capture, ballooning deficits, and a housing market on the brink. They dig into Bitcoin as an escape hatch from fiat failure, why Gen Z is flirting with socialism, and how corporate fascism is eating the economy. With interest expense overtaking defense and Democrats poised for a House sweep, Mitchell argues the establishment is failing on every front—from antitrust grift to unchecked mail-in ballot harvesting.

Ondo's founder died at 32, and now his mother and its ousted president are fighting for control. Katherine, Jessi, and Vy on the succession lesson crypto keeps skipping. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsor! Visit 1inch.com  to swap tokenized securities, crypto and more. Simple. Secure. Self-custodial. Whatever asset you're buying - swap it at 1inch.com ======================================================== Ondo Finance co-founder and CEO Nathan Allman died suddenly this summer at 32, leaving the real-world-asset tokenizer with zero sitting directors and two people claiming to run the company: ousted president Ian De Bode, and Allman's mother Kathleen, acting for his estate. Katherine Kirkpatrick Bos, Jessi Brooks, and Vy Le use the fight to unpack a problem that has nothing to do with crypto and everything to do with it: what happens when a fast-growing company never writes down a succession plan. They also cover the White House's new frontier AI oversight framework, which officials confirm exists but will not publish, a proposed FDIC and OCC certification that would let a fintech satisfy every bank's diligence questions at once, and the CLARITY Act's newly scheduled September 15 cloture vote, squeezed into a narrow window before midterms. Vy Le asks the harder question underneath all three stories: can boundaries this important really be left voluntary?

Will Harris of White Oak Pastures joins TFTC to break down why industrial agriculture is failing farmers, consumers, and the environment. He explains how regenerative farming rebuilds soil health, sequesters carbon, and produces nutrient-dense beef without feedlots or monocultures. Harris and Marty draw parallels between Bitcoin's low-time-preference mindset and generational land stewardship, arguing decentralized food systems beat centralized big beef. Learn why meeting your rancher matters more than waiting for government fixes, and how consumer choice drives real change in macro food policy.

Phil Goldfeder runs the American Fintech Council, the trade group representing nearly 170 fintech and banking companies. Before that he advised Chuck Schumer and Michael Bloomberg, served in elected office, and helped steer Cross River through the Paycheck Protection Program, where a bank with six or seven billion dollars in assets made as many loans as Chase and Bank of America.In this episode, Reggie Young talks with Phil about how policy actually gets made and changed. They cover the lessons he took from Bloomberg and Schumer, what it was like inside Cross River during PPP, how a trade group turns 170 members with different interests into workable positions, why relationships with regulators get built in rooms rather than in filings, and the window he sees for durable policy work over the months ahead.Fintech Layer Cake is powered by Lithic, financial infrastructure that helps teams build better card and payments products for consumers and businesses.Chapters: 00:00 – Cold open: know what you know 00:12 – Meet Phil Goldfeder: Schumer, Bloomberg, Cross River, AFC 01:16 – What Bloomberg taught him about getting things done 03:16 – What Schumer taught him about time and showing up 04:33 – Inside Cross River when PPP hit 05:46 – "We have a responsibility to serve": the CEO's call 08:30 – Out-loaning the giants: a $7B bank matching Chase 09:39 – How a fintech actually advocates for policy change 11:52 – AFC as the nucleus: connecting companies, states, and regulators 14:13 – Who counts as a policymaker 15:21 – The high schoolers who changed his vote 19:01 – Managing 170 members who don't agree 19:48 – Flipping the compromise: everyone walks away a winner 21:04 – The compliance officer and the FDIC in the same room 23:13 – Banks want integrity, fintechs want speed, both can win 25:03 – Why friendly administrations don't guarantee progress 26:41 – The six-to-eight-month window to build things that last 29:36 – Consent orders as a step toward stronger companies 30:40 – Where to find AFCNothing in this podcast should be construed as legal or financial advice.Subscribe for new episodes every other Wednesday.

Dr. Fei-Fei Li, PhD, is a professor of computer science at Stanford University and a pioneer and expert in artificial intelligence (AI). We discuss how AI can be used safely and effectively to extend human capabilities – not just to search for information but specifically to increase human intelligence and creativity. We also discuss how humans collaborating with AI and robots stand to positively transform human health and one's experience of life. And we cover what makes AI fundamentally different from human cognition, and why your intuition and unique experiences are not replicable by AI or machines. Both AI enthusiasts and skeptics are sure to benefit from the information and tools Dr. Fei-Fei Li shares in this episode. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.

We've optimized nearly every part of modern life. So why does it feel like we're missing the experience of actually living it? In The Small Stuff, Ian Bogost argues that our obsession with happiness, productivity, and efficiency has stripped everyday life of something essential: gratification, the immediate pleasure of physically engaging with the world around us. Today, he makes the case for rediscovering the sensory delights hiding in the life you already lead.

Jessica Rose unpacks the Proximal Origin cover-up, Fauci's leaked emails, and the rush to hide lab origins before the mRNA rollout. She breaks down Slack messages revealing scientists privately feared the furin cleavage site, exposes airport biological trafficking, and highlights DNA contamination and SV40 sequences found in COVID vaccines. The conversation dives into media censorship, presidential pardons, and why accountability matters for medical corruption and human liberty.

We live in a world that worships talent, a world that cheers natural athletes, exalts child prodigies, and venerates virtuosos. But admiring people who are blessed with innate abilities can lead us to underestimate the range of skills that we can learn and how good we can become. As Adam Grant explains in his new book, “Hidden Potential,” growth is not about the genius you possess — it's about the character you develop. Adam joins us today to talk about developing the character skills, motivational tools, and learning systems that can help ordinary people achieve extraordinary things. This episode first aired in October 2023.

This year so far has been full of transition & challenge for the Federal Reserve, arguably the single most influential institution for the economy.The Chairmanship has been passed on from Jerome Powell to Kevin Warsh, who appears to want to chart a more hawkish and limited scope for the Fed.Inflation remains stubbornly above the 2% target. And elevated oil prices resulting from the US war with Iran are a new inflationary force outside of the Fed's control.Meanwhile bond yields are rising as former foreign buyers of US Treasurys, like China and Japan, are now actively reducing their net holdings. That doesn't please the Administration that just put Warsh in his seat.So what is the Fed most likely to do in the remainder of 2026?Is it well-positioned to handle these challenges of higher inflation and higher yields?Or are events slipping out of its control?For answers, we are incredibly fortunate to be able to turn to today's remarkably qualified panelists. Dr Judy Shelton is an economist, author, Senior Fellow at the Independent Institute and the author of Good as Gold How to Unleash the Power of Sound Money.

Alex Thorn joins Marty to break down the Coldcard vulnerability draining Bitcoin wallets across multiple attack waves. Galaxy Research traces stolen on-chain funds while victims race against time to secure self-custodied BTC. They dissect AI-driven exploit patterns, white hat ethical dilemmas, casino exfiltration attempts, and why multisig collaborative custody is now essential infrastructure. Bitcoin security, private key entropy, and monetary sovereignty hang in the balance as attackers leverage frontier models against antiquated hardware. If you hold Bitcoin in cold storage, this conversation covers exactly what moves to make before your keys become the next target.

We've spent the last few years watching AI transform the digital world. Now it's coming for the physical one. Humanoid robots are leaving the lab and entering homes, factories, and workplaces. But are we witnessing another ChatGPT moment, or are these machines still years away from becoming truly useful? Journalist Stephen Witt has spent months inside the world's leading robotics companies to find out, and what he discovered surprised him. Check out Stephen's article "Are Humanoid Robots Ready to Be Deployed?" and his previous appearance on this show. ***

Energy economist Anas Alhajji breaks down the Iran war's impact on global oil markets, Hormuz shipping risks, and diesel shortages driving inflation. He exposes demand destruction, SPR manipulation myths, and why LNG dominates the energy security chessboard.

Some of the greatest American heroes are people most of us have never heard of. In today's episode, Ryan talks with retired Brigadier General and military historian Ty Seidule about five remarkable Americans whose stories embody courage, sacrifice, service, and leadership. They also talk about why the people we choose to honor matter, what the renaming of military bases reveals about American history, and why telling the truth about the past does not mean giving up on greatness.Ty Seidule served in the U.S. Army for more than three decades, retiring as a brigadier general in 2020. He is a professor emeritus of history at West Point and served as vice chair of the Congressional Naming Commission, which was tasked with renaming Department of Defense assets that honored Confederates.Ty Seidule is the author of A Promise Delivered: Ten American Heroes and the Battle to Rename Our Nation's Military Bases and Robert E. Lee and Me: A Southerner's Reckoning with the Myth of the Lost Cause.

Marty sits down with developer Vinny to explore why AI agents, open source models, and permissionless protocols are converging into a new agentic economy. They unpack Buzz as a Nostr-native Slack killer, the risks of closed-source AI monopolies, and how Bitcoin Lightning enables machine-to-machine payments. From self-hosted harnesses to deterministic workflows, the conversation covers the macro shift toward decentralized intelligence, regulatory capture fears, and why Bitcoin standards like L402 matter for the future of monetary policy in an automated world.
