Pascal Wagner interviews Evan Polaski, digging into what 18 years across retail and multifamily have taught him about raising capital through multiple market cycles. Evan shares what it was really like trying to raise an institutional fund heading into the 2008 crisis, how the “denominator effect” froze commitments, and why that experience still shapes his view of risk today. He contrasts institutional and retail LP behavior, explains why he's gravitated back to necessity-based retail, and calls out the dangers of marketers-turned-operators who chase AUM instead of disciplined deals. Evan also walks through how he evaluates sponsors as an LP himself, what “conservative underwriting” should actually mean, and the specific questions passive investors need to ask about performance versus the original pro forma.

From misinformation and social media outrage to AI deepfakes and short-term thinking, Jimmy shares what he's learned about truth, integrity, and human connection after decades shaping the world's largest source of information. Discover why trust is disappearing—from our politics to our personal relationships—and what it actually takes to rebuild it. This conversation dives deep into how algorithms shape what we believe, how technology manipulates emotion, and how each of us can bring honesty and balance back into our lives.

In September we held our inaugural Money Maze Allocator Summit and over the two days there was fantastic discussion, debate, insights, disagreement and a lot of learning. It proved incredibly popular & much of that was a result of the quality of panels, moderators & topics. Of all the conversations, one that particularly resonated with us was the chance to interview Sir Chris Hohn about two topics with which he is fantastically acquainted: investing and philanthropy. As you will discover in this episode, he perhaps stands above most mortals with the clarity of his thinking and the extraordinary generosity and effectiveness in both disciplines.

Amanda Cruise and Ash Patel interview Steven Wear, chief marketing officer of SSSE, about the firm's nationwide self-storage investments and how it's evolving the model through creative financing and energy innovation. Steven explains how SSSE focuses on secondary and tertiary markets to avoid oversaturation and zoning risks, and why they advocate for local moratoriums once they've entered a market. He discusses using substitution of collateral strategies to maximize returns on seller-financed deals, creating a self-sustaining capital engine. The conversation also explores how SSSE integrates solar power, geothermal, and potential data center partnerships to turn storage facilities into power-generating assets, revealing a forward-thinking vision for the future of self-storage.

DML talks with Jackson Lahmeyer, founder of Pastors for Trump and author of Chasing After the Wind: Why Nobody Is Catching What Everybody Is Chasing. They break down how Christians are being targeted across culture, politics, and Big Tech—and what can be done now.

If execution stopped being the bottleneck, how would you build? We sit down with Dr. Alex Mehr—former NASA scientist turned serial founder—to unpack a seismic shift: AI can now translate plain English into working software, from slick landing pages to full MVPs. That means speed wins, iteration compounds, and non-technical founders finally have a real shot at competing with incumbents.Alex shares the arc from launching multiple apps before one hit to building Famous.ai, a platform designed to compress the distance between idea and customer. We talk about why most teams don't fail; their first ideas do. The fix isn't more debate—it's more experiments. With AI handling the heavy lifting, you can validate a concept in hours, not months, and keep cash for growth instead of sunk costs. He breaks down realistic timelines, how direct App Store submission works, and why web apps can be live the same day.This conversation is part playbook, part mindset reset. We get honest about what entrepreneurship really trades: you don't get free time, you get free will. You choose how to suffer. The dopamine hit of a launch that lands is unmatched, but it relies on a foundation of small and fast failures. Alex calls out a new divide—before 2025 and after 2025—where the ability to ship quickly becomes the primary competitive advantage. We dig into when to pivot, how to avoid “dying on the wrong hill,” and why you should test markets instead of predicting them.If you've been sitting on an idea because you can't code, this is your wake-up call. Build the first version, learn from real users, and iterate. When tools remove excuses, momentum becomes a decision.

You've heard us talk about single barrels for years, but this time we're sitting on the other side of the table. Kenny and Ryan just dropped a new round of Pursuit Series bottles — Episodes 77 through 81 — and if you've been following the brand since the early days, this lineup might feel like a full-circle moment. These were first unveiled during the debut of Founder Hour, a brand-new, six-seat tasting experience inside the Pursuit Spirits gift shop on Whiskey Row. Think of it as the most intimate flight we've ever done, with pours that tell the story of how far this brand has come. In this episode, we're taking you behind the scenes of those releases for everyone who couldn't make that inaugural Founder Hour. Kenny and Ryan walk through what makes each of these barrels special — from a 12-year Bardstown sibling to the legendary 017, to a 20-year Tennessee giant that officially becomes the oldest whiskey in Pursuit Spirits history. We talk about how long they've been sitting on some of these barrels, what patience really looks like when you're building a brand, and why Founder Hour might be the most personal experience they've ever created. So pour a glass, settle in, and let's go inside the story of Pursuit Series 77–81 — the bottles that turned a small tasting idea into a full-blown experience.Show Notes: Introduction of the Pursuit Founder Hour Introducing Episodes 77-81 Backstory of Episodes Tasting the Latest Releases The Future of Pursuit Series Closing Thoughts and Community Engagement Support this podcast on Patreon Learn more about your ad choices.

On Monday, U.S. Pardon Attorney Ed Martin announced that President Donald Trump had pardoned several top aides and advisers from his first administration, as well as dozens of people involved in his efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 election. Those receiving pardons include President Trump's former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, adviser Boris Epshteyn, and attorneys Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Kenneth Chesebro, and Sidney Powell. None of the recipients has been charged with a federal crime, but the pardon will protect them from future prosecution related to the 2020 election (though they can still be prosecuted at the state level).

Live from Future Proof, I sat down with Jason Early, Founder and CEO of RISR — an AI platform that's helping financial advisors rethink how they serve business-owner clients.Here's the truth: for most entrepreneurs, their business is their biggest asset — but most advisors just ask, “What's it worth?” jot down a guess, and move on. Jason and his team built RISR around a simple belief: business owners deserve better advice, and the advisors who serve them need better tools to give it.RISR connects directly to a company's financials, uses AI to generate real-time valuations, and gives advisors the insights they need to guide clients through growth, succession, and exit planning. It helps advisors have the right conversations — earlier — so they're there long before the liquidity event, not chasing it after the fact.In this conversation, Jason shares how top advisors are using RISR to win business-owner clients, deepen relationships, and deliver the kind of advice that builds lasting trust.3 of the biggest insights from Jason Early…#1.) How Top Advisors Are Using RISR to Stand OutAdvisors aren't just running valuations, they're using RISR to open doors, deepen trust, and win business-owner clients long before a liquidity event. By showing up with real data on what the client's business is worth, advisors shift the conversation from “asset management” to “business strategy.” It's helping them justify planning fees, spark succession discussions, and position themselves as the quarterback for every major decision that impacts the owner's wealth and legacy.#2.) The Truth About Business Valuation (and Why It's Usually Wrong)Most business owners miscalculate what their company is worth — often by millions. Jason breaks down why, from owner dependency and client concentration to “country club math” and non-normalized EBITDA. He also explains how objective valuation data brings alignment between partners and families, turning tough money talks into clarity.#3.) What Every Advisor Should Know About Succession & Exit PlanningBusiness owners rarely plan their exits well. Jason explains how advisors can use valuation insights to build readiness conversations, prevent conflict between partners, and even influence deal outcomes. These are high-trust, high-value planning opportunities that position advisors as long-term strategic partners — not just investment managers.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/142FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWToday's Gift: 30 minute 1:1 coaching call with BradAre you a financial advisor who feels stuck, needs help, or simply wants to have a conversation with Brad?

On today's episode, Kara welcomes Sarah Moret, Founder and CEO of Curie — the clean personal care brand on a mission to prove that “clean” can be powerful.Sarah's journey began with a personal frustration: she couldn't find a natural deodorant that actually worked. A marathon runner and wellness enthusiast, she set out to change that — investing $12,000 of her savings and spending more than a year perfecting a formula that delivered on both performance and purity. The result? Curie, a high-performance, aluminum-free deodorant that quickly grew from a small side hustle into an 8-figure business sold in over 4,500 stores nationwide, including Walmart and Anthropologie, and featured in locker rooms at Equinox and SoulCycle.Before founding Curie, Sarah worked in venture capital, where she invested in early-stage wellness startups — experience that gave her the insight and drive to build her own brand from the ground up. We talk about her journey from investor to entrepreneur, the lessons she's learned about formulating clean products that truly work, and how she's scaling Curie while staying true to her mission and values. From her Shark Tank deal with Barbara Corcoran and Mark Cuban to building a brand that's redefining the meaning of clean, this episode is full of lessons and inspiration for founders and consumers alike.

Cameron Heffernan is the Founder of Beyond Borders Marketing, an agency that helps overseas-based B2B companies and their US subsidiaries expand and succeed in the American market. He has built and led a seven-figure marketing agency, worked across three continents, and guided international clients to double their US sales and achieve substantial EBITDA growth through targeted market strategies. Cameron's global perspective is shaped by living and working in the US, Europe, and Africa, and he is now at the forefront of leveraging AI to create more effective and scalable marketing solutions. In this episode… What happens when the world of marketing collides with rapid advancements in AI technology? With shifts in how companies reach their audiences and a landscape that changes almost weekly, business leaders must adapt or risk being left behind. How are some entrepreneurs transforming these challenges into opportunities for growth? Cameron Heffernan, a global marketing strategist and founder of a seven-figure agency, mastered that challenge by fusing his international experience with AI-powered innovation. Having lived and worked across three continents, Cameron learned how to navigate diverse markets and help overseas B2B brands thrive in the US. He saw early signs that marketing was becoming commoditized and pivoted fast — developing interactive digital tools and AI-driven engagement systems that helped clients double sales and dramatically boost profitability. Tune in to this episode of the Smart Business Revolution Podcast as John Corcoran interviews Cameron Heffernan, Founder of Beyond Borders Marketing, about leveraging AI and global expertise to revolutionize international marketing. Cameron shares how he built a resilient agency through global experience and technological foresight, why specialization beats generalization in crowded markets, and how AI tools can amplify — rather than replace — human connection.

This week's guest, Andrea Leiter, is one of those polymaths who brings not just breadth, but astonishing depth to the work of bridging the worlds of technology, biodiversity and international law; bringing them together in service of a new way of being built from the ruins of collapse. Andrea works at the intersection of law, digital transformation, and economic innovation. Director of Amsterdam Center for International Law, she's deeply aware of, and involved in, Transnational Law, Digital Economies & Institutional Innovation, all things crypto - as well as being a Social Justice Entrepreneur. She holds a jointly awarded PhD in Law from the University of Melbourne and the University of Vienna, where her dissertation examined the historical foundations of international investment law and the legal architectures of global capital. Her resulting manuscript titled ‘Making the World Safe for Investment: The Protection of Foreign Property 1922-1959' was published with Cambridge University Press. She is a junior faculty member at the Institute for Global Law and Policy at Harvard Law School. As legal scholar and strategist, her expertise lies in transnational law, private ordering, the governance of digital economies, and the design of new institutional forms for just and sustainable futures.  I came across her when she was a guest on the Blockchain Socialist podcast - one of my must-listens - and heard that she was co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer of the Sovereign Nature Initiative (SNI), a venture which aimed to 'merge nature with digital ecosystems and introduce online communities to ecological stewardship whilst developing novel funding mechanisms for vital biodiversity protection and restoration'.  you'll hear more about this in the conversation that follows, but I want to emphasise that the SNI team designed and implemented the Decentralised Ecological Economics Protocol (DEEP), which demonstrated how blockchain infrastructure can serve biodiversity goals. Over two years, SNI developed and distributed more than one million digital collectibles, activating new models of ecological value creation.Currently, Andrea leads a Dutch Research Council-funded VENI project on Decentralised Autonomous Organisations (DAOs) and their potential to reshape economic governance from below. She also serves as Acting Director of Research at the Amsterdam Center for International Law, where she guides strategic research planning and foster interdisciplinary collaboration. She also co-developed and launched an Advanced LLM in Technology Governance with a public purpose orientation, an effort that included curriculum design, funding acquisition, and stakeholder engagement.One of Andrea's superpowers is the ability to take complex concepts and make them comprehensible to ordinary people: blockchain, cryptocurrency, the difference between Bitcoin and Ethereum, the potential for technology to be used to heal as well as the many ways it is already being used to harm, so we spent the first half of our conversation exploring the baselines of where we are and what's happening in the world. I refer to Andrea's blog post, 'Who gets to bet on the future?' which first appeared on her Transformative Private Law Blog and is linked in the show notes. She mentioned several books and I've linked those in the show notes too, because they were new to me, and completely mind blowing.  I found ExoCapitalism as a pdf where you decide what you pay - this is the value of small presses that actually get what their books are discussing - and Protocols for Post Capitalist Expression is open source - you can read it and engage in the process with others in the Economic Space Agency. Links Sovereign Nature Initiative https://sovereignnature.com/Andrea on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrea-leiter/Amsterdam Centre for Intenational Law https://acil.uva.nl/VENI project https://www.nwo.nl/en/researchprogrammes/nwo-talent-programme/projects-veniTransformative Private Law Blog "Who gets to bet on the future?" https://transformativeprivatelaw.com/who-gets-to-bet-on-the-future/Andrea on Blockchain Socialist Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-blockchain-socialist/id1501607045?i=1000660699306Between Gaia and Ground: Four Axioms of Existence and the Ancestral Catastrophe of Late Liberalism by Elizabeth A.

In the race to decarbonize agriculture, the spotlight often falls on carbon sequestration, genetics, and alternative proteins. But have we overlooked something that's right in front of us? Electricity.Mike Casey is a self-described “tech bro turned farmer” from Cromwell, New Zealand. Mike runs what's believed to be the world's first fully electric farm, made up of 21 electric machines, from irrigation systems and frost-fighting fans, to electric tractors and forklifts. His business is aptly named Electric Cherries, where power is generated from renewable sources on-farm. Mike says this has enabled him to save tens of thousands on energy costs every year, while also developing a business model for farming that's both profitable and low-carbon.Sarah and Mike discuss:How an old diesel pump kicked off Mike's electrification crusadeThe economics of going electric on a farm (and is it only possible in New Zealand or on a cherry farm?)What electric machinery changes (and doesn't) about running a farm business Why farmers stand to benefit from the shift away from centralized, fossil fuel power generation to decentralized renewable energyMike is also the CEO of Rewiring Aotearoa, a movement helping Kiwis switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy.
