✨Join me for my FREE Class!The Biggest Roadblocks Keeping Landlords From Scaling — and How to Fix It  March 24, 2026 at 12PM & 7PM ET via Zoom ​​https://owningitandlivingit.com/landlord There are only 3 systems that separate landlords who scale from landlords who stay stuck at 1-2 properties. And it doesn't matter if you're running short-term rentals, mid-term rentals, or long-term rentals—these systems are non-negotiable. In this video, I break down the 3 systems every landlord needs: ✅ System #1: Leasing/Booking System (how to fill vacancies across all strategies) ✅ System #2: Maintenance/Operations System (how properties run without you) ✅ System #3: Financial System (tracking income, expenses, and profit by strategy) I'll show you what these systems look like across different rental strategies in my $5M+ portfolio, and why building them is the difference between working harder and scaling smarter. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 0:00 - The 3 systems that separate landlords who scale 0:30 - Why most landlords stay stuck (all strategies) 1:30 - System #1: Leasing/Booking System (STR, MTR, LTR) 3:30 - System #2: Maintenance/Operations System 5:30 - System #3: Financial System (strategy comparison) 7:30 - Why most landlords don't have these systems ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

On this episode of Minor Issues, Mark Thornton appears on Reinvent Money with Paul Buitink for a “state of the system” conversation. Mark breaks down the US economy as an “everything bubble,” explains what's really behind the trade deficit and the dollar's reserve status, and grades Trump's first-year economic agenda. He closes with a practical Austrian roadmap toward sound money: real savings, capital accumulation, and removing tax penalties on interest, dividends, and long-term gains.The original episode is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mgqsHCQxSrwOrder a free paperback copy of Hayek for the 21st Century by F.

Episode 185 of The Authentic Human podcast, Part 109 of The Story of Creation explores the four major systems that shaped human society — and how they were designed to mask your connection to universal consciousness. For over a year, this series has followed real-time conversations with universal beings about the origins of existence, human sovereignty, and the truth of creation. In this episode, we go deeper. Not into conspiracy, into truth. Universal truth. We explore: • Why your connection to the universe can never be severed • How the medical system reinforced the belief that you are broken • Why true healing begins in energy, frequency, and cellular rebalancing • How religion introduced judgment culture and blocked creative power • Why the financial system weaponized fear and worthiness • How the education system anchored generational belief patterns • The psychology of control and one world governance • Why anger feeds the system instead of transforming it • The difference between demanding truth and being willing to receive it • How judgment blocks access to consciousness • Why humanity is remembering — not awakening • The shift from fighting the system to creating a new world Human beings were born brilliant. Born curious. Born self-healing. Born sovereign. The systems did not hide truth from you. They trained you to believe you didn't have access to it. Truth feeds freedom. Freedom feeds creation. Creation expands consciousness. If you've ever felt: • Something about the world doesn't make sense • You were meant for more • The system feels misaligned • Healing is deeper than physical medicine • You want truth — not comfort This episode will challenge how you see existence. The future of humanity will not be built by fighting the old system. It will be built by individuals exploring their true potential and creating something entirely new. 0:00 – The Story of Creation: Why Humanity Was Disconnected from Universal Consciousness 1:46 – Your Connection to the Universe Can Never Be Severed (Only Masked) 3:05 – The Medical System and the Belief That You Are Broken 4:41 – Humans Were Designed as Self-Healing Beings 5:05 – “Miracle” Healings Explained Through Conscious Belief and Frequency Shift 6:04 – Religion, Judgment Culture, and Why Humans Stopped Trusting Themselves 7:16 – Judgment Blocks Creative Power and Fuels a Clone-Based Society 9:13 – The Financial System, Fear, Worthiness, and Control 11:10 – The Education System and Generational Belief Programming 12:21 – How Analytical Conditioning Blocks Freedom and Universal Truth 16:24 – Government Structure and the Psychology of Global Control 20:01 – Why Fighting the System Feeds the System 21:17 – The Difference Between Demanding Truth and Being Willing to Receive It 29:50 – Truth Is Not Hidden — You Were Trained to Fear It 32:04 – Stop Fixing the Old System: Create a New World Through Sovereignty 38:01 – Judgment Feeds Control; Exploration Creates the Future 40:28 – Truth Feeds Freedom and Activates Universal Participation New episodes of The Authentic Human Podcast weekly exploring universal consciousness, sovereignty, human origins, energy architecture, and the evolution of existence.

In this episode of The FasterFreedom Show, Sam is running it solo while Lucas is out sick to tackle a big (and often emotional) question: is the current financial system broken? And more importantly—is that even the right question to be asking?He explains why that framing is actually a trick question. Instead of arguing that the system is malfunctioning, he breaks down why it may be working exactly as it was originally designed to. The conversation includes a brief history lesson on the origins of the modern financial framework, touching on early industrial power players like Rockefeller and how centralized banking, employer-based retirement plans, and consumer finance evolved over time.Most importantly, Sam shifts the focus to what you can actually control. Instead of blaming the system, he talks about how to operate strategically inside it. From ownership of real assets to financial education to thinking long-term about leverage and cash flow, he lays out practical ways to build freedom—even if the system wasn't designed with your success as the priority.This episode blends history, financial philosophy, and actionable perspective to help you stop asking whether the game is fair—and start asking how to play it better.Join our FREE real estate community on Skool: ⁠https://www.skool.com/relaunchFasterFreedom Capital Connection: ⁠https://fasterfreedomcapital.com⁠Free Rental Investment Training: ⁠https://freerentalwebinar.com

Bitcoin accumulation is approaching extreme levels at the same time cracks are beginning to show across the broader financial system. As trillions are wiped from global equities amid AI disruption fears, trade tensions rise, and short-term Treasury issuance surges, liquidity conditions are tightening and confidence in traditional markets appears increasingly fragile. Yet beneath the volatility, on-chain data suggests large players are quietly absorbing supply.

China's banking sector has expanded from a fragile, state-dominated system in the 1990s into the largest in the world. But this increased scale has not brought with it a shift toward market-driven finance, with the core logic of state-directed control over credit remaining a central feature of Chinese banking. In this episode of The Sound of Economics, Yuyun Zhan sits down with Alicia García-Herrero and Fraser Howie to examine how banks continue to serve state priorities, funnelling household savings into politically favoured sectors while sustaining local governments and state-owned firms.This episode is part of the ZhōngHuá Mundus series of The Sound of Economics.

Interview recorded - 2nd of February, 2026On this episode of the WTFinance podcast I had the pleasure of welcoming back Simon Hunt. During the conversation we spoke about his thoughts on the markets and geopolitics, gold and silver crash, geopolitical situation, the potential new reserve currency and more. I hope you enjoy!0:00 - Introduction1:08 - Overview14:52 - Gold and silver crash17:32 - Whole market issues?20:44 - Geopolitical situation27:36 - Yuan new reserve currency?32:48 - One message to takeawaySimon Hunt began his career in 1956 in Central Africa as a PA to the Chairman of Rhodesian Selection Trust, one of the two large copper companies in what was then Northern Rhodesia, now Zambia.In 1961 he came back to London and joined Anglo American Corporation of South Africa as a PA to one of the Board Directors, followed by being part of a small sales and marketing team for copper. From there, he helped start up a new copper development organisation, CIDEC, financed by copper producers, which he then joined, focusing on conducting end-use studies of copper in Europe.He then went into the City to gain financial experience and founded Brook Hunt in 1975. He was instrumental in setting up the company's cost studies and end-use analyses. He appeared as material witness and consultant in two ITC anti-dumping cases in 1978 and 1984, winning both at the commission level.He has spent 2-4 months every year in China since 1993 and until a few years ago would be visiting some 80 wire and cable and brass mill factories across the country every year. He now restricts these factory visits to a smaller number, all of which he has known for many years. He also spends many weeks each year traveling around Asia.The focus of the company's services is on the global economy, including the changing geopolitical and financial structures, China's economy and its copper sector, and then the global copper industry as each part is interconnected.Simon is the author of the “Frontline China Report Service,” which is marketed by the TIS Group. The Service provides regular reports on China's economy, politics, and financial outlook.Simon established this company in January 1996.Simon Hunt -Website - https://www.simon-hunt.com/Email - simon@shss.comWTFinance -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

How Mobile Money and Open Tech Are Bringing 1.3 Billion People Into the Financial SystemTechnology isn't just evolving - it's rewriting the rules of entire economies. In this episode of Somewhere on Earth, we explore how mobile technology, open-source payments, and digital finance are helping to “bank the unbanked.” With around 1.3 billion adults still without access to a bank account, we look at how mobile money and open systems are leapfrogging traditional infrastructure and giving millions their first real access to savings, payments, and opportunity. Why Ethiopia's Bold Ban on Petrol Cars Could Redefine Transport Across AfricaEthiopia has become the first nation to ban the import of petrol and diesel vehicles, pushing full speed into an electric future. From battery-swapping motorcycles to renewable-powered transport, Ethiopia is betting on clean tech to transform its economy and environment. We connect the dots between financial inclusion and electrification — and ask how emerging tech ecosystems are reshaping lives, cities, and nations. The programme was presented by Ania Lichtarowicz. SUBSCRIBE HERE: https://somewhere-on-earth-the-global-tech-podcast-the-podextra-edition.pod.fan/ Production manager: Liz TuohyEditor: Ania Lichtarowicz Somewhere on Earth Productions UK Ltd.

After Greenland, the rupture in the Transatlantic Alliance was made visible at the WEF conference in Davos.Mark Carney said the quiet bit aloud. But the real implications are beginning to be felt in the deep financial plumbing that undergirds the global economy. Now, a Japanese bond market sell-off is unsettling larger forces. If Japanese interest rate then rocket, they may need to liquify their massive US Treasury bond holdings. Beyond the geopolitics, this is going to turn nasty – economic levels of nasty.

On the Record with Christian Briggs – The U.S. fell asleep at the wheel, distracted by political infighting, cultural rot, and trillion-dollar wars, while China and its BRICS partners quietly bought up the world's resources, rare earth minerals, and trade routes. The dollar is being systematically debased while gold surges to all-time highs, and America's only line of defense may be Trump's hardline...

Brandon Green and David Bailey sit down for a conversation about the future of BTC Inc, Nakamoto, and Bitcoin itself. Bailey outlines why his mission is to “hijack the financial system,” how public-company risk works behind the scenes, and why bitcoin's market structure is changing forever. He lays out a 50-year roadmap: trillions in value creation, a global bitcoin reserve, and hyperbitcoinization driven through capital markets.

Key Takeaways: Decentralized Value Creation: Money can be created and used anywhere people trust each other and have valuable assets, not just through central banks. Why Debt Restructuring Matters: Sometimes the financial system must reset or adjust debt so it matches real economic output and avoids major problems. Treasuries and Mortgages Keep Things Steady: These tools help keep money flowing smoothly in the economy and are important for overall stability. Bitcoin as Digital Energy: Bitcoin works as a secure, non-political type of collateral that doesn't rely on debt and can be used worldwide. Stronger Financial Networks: A system with many independent financial nodes—rather than one central authority—can create a more flexible and resilient economy.

When it comes to the risks to financial stability, things seem to have settled down a bit. But with trade tensions, an unpredictable US economic policy, geopolitical issues, a potential AI bubble and the rise of stablecoins, there is plenty to keep an eye on. Has the global environment really become less uncertain? And how do all these factors impact financial stability? To explore these questions and more, our host Paul Gordon speaks with financial stability expert John Fell. The views expressed are those of the speakers and not necessarily those of the European Central Bank. Recorded on 24 November 2025 and published on 27 November 2025. In this episode: 01:25 How stable is the financial system? The EU and the United States reached a trade agreement, and the economic impact of trade uncertainty has been milder than expected. But the full effects of the policy changes are yet to be seen. So, what does this mean for financial stability? 04:14 Is there an AI bubble? The term “AI bubble” is on everyone's lips right now . But bubbles are hard to identify and even harder to differentiate from legitimate growth. So, are valuations stretched? What about market concentration and circular funding in the AI industry? And how exactly are companies funding investment in AI? 06:15 If there is a bubble, what could cause it to burst? There is significant leverage behind AI investments. Returns will largely depend on how widely AI is adopted. Could AI become a general-purpose technology, like the railways did? 08:15 What about the rise of private credit? How do private credit markets differ from equity financing? Why are risks to euro area financial stability increasing as private markets expand? And how does all this relate to systemic risk in the banking sector and the build-up of AI infrastructure? 11:23 Are stablecoins really stable? Despite what the name suggests, stablecoins carry liquidity run risks that could affect financial stability. With rapid growth and increasing links to traditional finance, what risks does this innovation create? 15:11 What's the situation for government financing? Governments have made progress in reducing debt levels since the pandemic. But in some euro area countries, debt remains too high and pressures to increase spending – for instance on defence – are rising. While this poses one of the biggest risks to financial stability, it could also be an opportunity for long-term growth if properly managed. 18:07 What about banks? Given the potential AI bubble, questions around the sustainability of government budgets and the rise in stablecoins, where does this leave euro area banks? Profitability is strong and non-performing loan ratios are historically low. So, how is the banking sector doing overall? 20:13 Our guest's hot tip John Fell shares his hot tip with listeners.

John Campbell, Professor of Economics at Harvard University and co-author of Fixed, joined the Strategy Skills Podcast to explain why the financial system often works against ordinary investors and how to make better personal-finance decisions. After decades studying markets and investor behavior, Campbell saw a pattern: even educated, high-income earners routinely make avoidable mistakes in housing, saving, and investing. "Once I started looking at how people actually behave, I became more and more aware of how pervasive mistakes are, people are just leaving money on the table." Those mistakes compound over time, widening inequality. "It's what economists call a cross-subsidy, from the poor to the rich. My co-author Tarun and I feel that this is really outrageous and we should be concerned about it." Five Key Insights 1. Financial Mistakes Compound Inequality Campbell's research shows that even when borrowers start on equal terms, inaction and misunderstanding drive divergence. "Black borrowers are paying maybe as much as half a percentage point more on average than white borrowers… and that's just because they haven't refinanced." Behavioral gaps like failing to refinance when rates fall transfer wealth upward. 2. Housing Choices Are Often Poorly Understood Many treat property as guaranteed wealth rather than a productive asset. "It's a huge mistake to buy a bigger house than you need, or even more so to buy a place and then let it sit empty… you're effectively buying an asset and then throwing away the dividend on that asset." Unused or oversized housing drains capital that could compound elsewhere. 3. Early-Career Risk-Taking Is Underrated "Most people, when they're young, have a very large hidden asset, their earning power. For most people, that earning power is far safer than the stock market." Because human capital is relatively stable, young investors can afford higher equity exposure and should taper risk only as retirement approaches. 4. Target-Date Funds Don't Go Far Enough "Most target date funds are not aggressive enough early in life, and they taper down the risk taking too gradually." Campbell argues these default products should adjust risk more sharply and reflect each investor's actual wealth trajectory. 5. Complexity Creates Confusion and Inequality "This profusion of accounts leads to confusion. People throw up their hands. And the access to these accounts is unequal." The U.S. system's overlapping account types favor large employers and the financially literate, leaving others behind. Actions You Can Take Now 1. Maximize any employer match immediately. "Certainly any kind of employer match, you want to maximize that right away." 2. Save aggressively through tax-favored accounts. "You should be saving aggressively and you should be maximizing your use of tax-favored accounts." 3. Manage your mortgage strategically. "Managing your mortgage is also a very important thing for people in the middle class and upper middle class." 4. Consider adjustable-rate mortgages as efficient leverage if you can manage the risk. "The cheapest way to lever that portfolio and be involved in risky markets actually in many cases is to use an adjustable-rate mortgage… a cheap way to take leverage." 5. Use home equity as flexible credit. "Home equity is a valuable source of credit." 6. In retirement, spend your assets, don't hoard them. "Many people hang on to their financial assets too long and are too reluctant to tap home equity. The right way to manage retirement is a mix of annuities and reverse-mortgage borrowing… so that you can enjoy it." 7. Avoid oversized or idle property. "If you buy an asset and then throw away the dividend, you should not expect it to deliver a high return." 8. Take more financial risk when young; scale back later. Treat your earning power as your built-in "safe asset." 9. Build an emergency fund before investing. "It should be a priority to have an emergency fund in a safe and liquid form so that you stay out of high-cost debt." 10. Support simpler, fairer financial design. "We think the financial system is very important for the market economy and the unpopularity of finance is really bad. We're trying to save the financial industry for itself."

Matthew worked closely as well with Morgan Stanley's hedge fund platform in building a multi-strat/multi-manager fund to better manage risk in a market backdrop of extreme central bank intervention/support. The conviction that precious metals provides the most reliable and longer-term protection against potential systemic risk led Matt to join VON GREYERZ.The author of the Amazon No#1 Release, Rigged to Fail, Matt is fluent in French, German and English; he is a graduate of Brown (BA), Harvard (MA) and the University of Michigan (JD).

Bitcoin plunged below $90,000 this week, hitting a six-month low and sending fear across the crypto community. Extreme bearish sentiment, weakening institutional demand and the breakdown of crucial technical levels have many wondering whether we're entering a new long-term bear market.In this episode of Byte-Sized Insight, to help cut through the panic, we hear from journalist and Bitcoin educator Natalie Brunell, whose new book, “Bitcoin Is For Everyone,” argues that the real fear shouldn't be Bitcoin's volatility but the flaws in the financial system we're all forced to participate in. Brunell explains why inflation is misunderstood, why Bitcoin's scarcity and decentralization matter, how time preference shapes behavior and why Bitcoin is ultimately a human rights technology.Should we actually be afraid of Bitcoin right now, or are we missing the bigger picture?

Jeffrey Epstein's longtime attorney and financial fixer, Darren Indyke, has been repeatedly linked to the intricate structuring of Epstein's vast financial network — a labyrinth of trusts, shell companies, and opaque entities that concealed the flow of money used to fund his operations and, allegedly, pay off victims and accomplices. “Structuring,” in financial terms, refers to deliberately breaking up large transactions to avoid federal reporting requirements under the Bank Secrecy Act. Investigators have long suspected that Epstein and Indyke employed similar tactics to mask the source and movement of Epstein's wealth, from offshore accounts to foundations like Gratitude America Ltd., which funneled millions in donations and “grants” to scientific and philanthropic fronts that enhanced Epstein's public image. Indyke's deep involvement in setting up and managing these entities made him not just Epstein's lawyer but a key architect of the financial smoke screen that protected Epstein's empire for decades.After Epstein's death, Indyke's role came under heavier scrutiny, as he continued to act as co-executor of the estate — even while being named in multiple civil suits accusing him of enabling or facilitating Epstein's criminal conduct. Plaintiffs argued that the same structuring tactics used to obscure Epstein's finances were now being repurposed to shield assets from victims' compensation claims. Indyke has denied wrongdoing, asserting he merely executed Epstein's instructions as a lawyer and fiduciary. However, investigators have questioned how much he knew — and how complicit he was — in maintaining the secrecy that allowed Epstein's trafficking network to operate unchecked for years. Whether by legal design or deliberate obfuscation, the structuring overseen by Indyke remains one of the most revealing examples of how Epstein's financial crimes were hidden in plain sight, wrapped in the legitimacy of corporate paperwork and professional discretion.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

If you think you're using money the same way your parents did, you're already behind. If your entire view of Bitcoin is based on headlines, you're missing the point. And if you think this "crypto stuff" is just a fad, then today's episode will shake your perspective. Because what we're living through isn't just a tech revolution; it's the early stage of a complete financial reset. The system you were taught to trust is showing its cracks, and a new one is quietly being built in real time. In this episode, I'll walk you through what's really happening beneath the surface of our economy: how the legacy system is breaking down, why blockchain isn't the same as crypto, and why Bitcoin stands alone as the foundation of a new era. We'll unpack what central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) could mean for your freedom, how tokenization is changing ownership, and what you can actually do right now to prepare for what's coming next. This isn't about hype or headlines. It's about understanding the future of money before the rest of the world wakes up. Episode Timeline & Highlights [0:00] – Introduction: Why the way we use money is already outdated [1:00] – The cracks in the old system: banks, inflation, and eroding trust [4:30] – Blockchain ≠ Crypto: the foundation of the new financial internet [7:30] – Bitcoin ≠ Crypto: digital property, not a startup project [11:30] – What's coming: CBDCs, tokenization, and digital IDs [15:30] – What to do now: education, ownership, and early infrastructure [19:00] – Closing: The financial system is molting. Will you be ready? Key Takeaways The Old System Is Breaking: Inflation, inefficiency, and control are signals that the traditional system is unsustainable. Blockchain Is the Infrastructure: It's not about coins; it's about a trustless, verifiable system the world will soon rely on. Bitcoin Stands Alone: It's not just another crypto. It's digital property, the foundation of a new monetary network. Preparation Beats Prediction: The people who win in revolutions aren't the loudest. They're the ones who understood the shift early and acted on it. Quotables "If your view of Bitcoin comes from headlines, you've already missed the real story." "Banks still run on 1970s rails. You send a wire Friday, it lands Monday, if you're lucky." "Most crypto is a startup. Bitcoin is a protocol. One builds features. The other preserves freedom." "The system isn't just evolving; it's molting. And under that shell, something entirely new is taking shape."

It's not just the $2.3 billion that allegedly simply vanished; it's how and maybe most important of all, why. Second guessing collateral this way does not end well. Especially since this does not appear to be a one-off case of embezzlement and outright theft, rather a relatively large company which made some bad choices pressured into doing so by the economy and given the opportunity by less than ideal protections and security. Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------What if your gold could actually pay you every month… in MORE gold?That's exactly what Monetary Metals does.

“It's really theft. And it's not mistaken theft or stupid theft. It's deliberate policy theft,” says Matthew Piepenburg, author of Rigged to Fail, of the current fiscal environment. He warns we are at a “Stalingrad moment” for the U.S. dollar, driven by unsustainable debt and central banks “net stacking gold and net dumping U.S. Treasuries.”This historic shift, he explains, is because “policymakers are not your friends” and are deliberately debasing currency. “When that debt credit balloon approaches a popping moment… the currency used to monetize that debt… melts like an ice cube.” In this environment, “gold just tells the truth,” acting as a vital lifeboat. “Gold has almost a supernatural, historical, and inherent quality that's simply unmatched. And that's why it's in such demand, and it will always get the last laugh over dying fiat paper money. It just always does.”✅ FREE RESOURCESDownload The Private Wealth Playbook — a data-backed guide to strategically acquiring gold and silver for maximum protection, privacy, and performance.

China's trade surplus with the US remains stubbornly large, but its appetite for Treasuries is fading. So where are the dollars going, and what does that say about the country's evolving financial strategy? Kevin Coldiron welcomes back Dr. Zoe Liu for a nuanced look at how Beijing is managing external pressure, internal control, and the creeping disruption of dollar-backed stablecoins. Behind the headlines is a deeper story about surveillance, capital flight, and the boundaries of monetary sovereignty. As China builds shadow reserves and experiments with programmable money, the question isn't just what it fears it's what kind of system it's trying to build instead.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Kevin on SubStack & read his Book.Follow Zoe on Twitter and read her book.Episode TimeStamps: 02:11 - Introduction to Zoe Liu04:15 - How U.S tariffs impact shipping costs and the deficit with China17:27 - What is China actually doing with their earned dollars?27:52 - Are FX entrusted loans reinforcing the dollar based trading system?36:07 - What are stable coins and why are China worried about them?42:31 - The second level of...
