Navigating Market Volatility: Why Income-Focused Investing Beats Speculation for Kentucky Retirement When the tech-heavy Nasdaq drops 4% in a week and market sentiment shifts dramatically, how should those thinking about retirement or already in retirement respond? In this timely market update from The Financial Hour of The Tom Dupree Show, Tom Dupree and Mike Johnson provide real-time insights into recent market turbulence while reinforcing a critical principle: predictable income trumps price speculation when you’re living off your portfolio. Unlike mass-market advisory firms that leave clients guessing about portfolio holdings during volatile periods, Dupree Financial Group’s personalized investment management approach ensures you understand exactly what you own and why. This episode demonstrates how direct access to portfolio managers who invest in individual securities—rather than opaque packaged products—provides clarity and confidence when markets get choppy. Key Takeaways: Market Insights and Retirement Strategy Tech Sell-Off Context: The Dow dropped 794 points on Thursday as growth stocks pulled back from stretched valuations—a predictable correction in what Tom calls a “toppy market” Fed Rate Cut Expectations Shift: Market pricing for a December Fed rate cut moved from 95% probability to essentially a coin flip (50/50) in just days, affecting growth stock valuations Conservative Portfolios Outperform During Volatility: While the Nasdaq fell 4%, Dupree Financial Group’s dividend-focused, income-producing portfolio actually made money during the same period Flight to Quality Emerges: Investors moving toward healthcare, Berkshire Hathaway, and dividend-paying stocks as speculation cools Retirement Income Is Everything: Cash flow predictability matters more than price appreciation when you’re living off your investments 2026 Contribution Limits Announced: 401(k) increases to $24,500; IRAs to $7,500; new Roth catch-up rules for high earners Opportunities in Volatility: Dupree Financial Group added several positions in recent weeks, including quality names like Kroger Understanding the Recent Tech Sell-Off: What Happened and Why Tom Dupree opens the episode with characteristic directness about Thursday’s market action: “Stocks notch worst day in over a month as tech sell-off intensifies. The market was down 794, which you know, was probably about right and I think it’s still going down today.” But rather than expressing alarm, Tom’s reaction is measured: “I mean, you had to have known it was gonna happen.” Mike Johnson provides context: “Last Friday, you had a huge downdraft early Friday morning, and then it turned around, came back. That is a sign of a toppy market. At some point, you’ll get a longer sell-off.” Why Growth Stocks Pulled Back Tom explains the mechanics behind the sell-off: “When you have things trading at stretch multiples, you don’t necessarily have to have bad news for those things to come back down to earth. Sometimes just the news—they run up on the news or the expectation of the news, then they come off on the news itself.” This phenomenon particularly affects high-growth technology stocks that trade at premium valuations. Mike notes: “Since last Monday, the Nasdaq is down about 4%. That’s the super speculative, more growthy kind of names.” For those thinking about retirement in Kentucky, this volatility underscores why personalized portfolio analysis focused on income production rather than speculation provides more sustainable results. How Fed Rate Expectations Impact Growth Stocks One of the week’s most significant developments involved a dramatic shift in Federal Reserve rate cut expectations. Mike explains: “The market has drastically changed its expectations in terms of a Fed rate cut in December. It was priced in like 95% chance that they were gonna cut rates in December. Today, that’s basically a coin flip—50/50 is where it’s pricing it in.” The Interest Rate and Growth Stock Connection Why does this matter for stock valuations? Mike provides the technical explanation: “Growth stocks will typically warrant a higher multiple when rates are low or going down, positively correlated to falling interest rates. Warren Buffett used to talk about it—it’s the risk-free rate of return, typically the US government bond.” Tom adds practical context: “If it is lower, then it allows for a growth stock’s P/E to go higher. It doesn’t always correlate directly, but at times, there is a positive correlation that way. It’s a tailwind—it allows for the speculation, gives it permission to go higher.” However, both emphasize this is “not at all necessarily related to their business or how well it’s doing.” A company can report strong earnings and still see its stock drop 30% if market expectations were even higher. This disconnect between business fundamentals and stock price movements highlights why the Dupree Financial Group investment philosophy prioritizes income-producing securities over growth speculation for retirement portfolios. Conservative Portfolio Performance: Making Money While Tech Falls Tom shares a striking performance contrast: “Our firm, the portfolio we manage, is a more conservative setup. We’ve actually made a little money in here. Doesn’t mean we’ll always do that, but if you want to invest in the growth of America over a long period of time, you should have some money in growth stocks.” He explains their balanced approach: “We’re beginning to buy some around the margins. Not doing too well at it the last couple of days, but it’s tiny smidgen amounts. But we will do well with it because I think our research is good that we’re doing.” The Dividend and Bond Foundation The portfolio’s resilience comes from its core structure. Tom details: “For the other mix, we are buying dividend-paying stocks that are well known and government bonds. And so it’s enabled us to put together a pretty good year so far. We’re a month and a half from being over with.” This approach demonstrates a fundamental principle for those in or approaching retirement: predictable income from dividends and bonds provides stability that growth speculation cannot match. Mike reinforces this: “You made a lot of money, especially since April, in these growthier names. But they all finally give up the ghost at some point.” Flight to Quality: Where Smart Money Is Moving Mike identifies an important trend: “The last two weeks, you have started to see the—if you want to call it—flight to quality. You started to see areas broaden out into the rally, broaden out into other areas. Healthcare has actually done pretty well.” The Berkshire Hathaway Example Tom shares a specific investment decision that illustrates their active management approach: “We sold our Berkshire at a very nice price, and it pulled way back. And now we’re back in. We weren’t market timing—we were simply looking at the valuation and based on where investors seemed to think the company was gonna go, given that the big dude was just retiring. We thought it was too expensive. Sold it, bought it back. Looks like they’re still executing.” Mike adds context: “He actually just put out his Thanksgiving letter. It was five, six pages. He kind of does his little stories in there growing up. It was a nice letter. I’d encourage listeners to go read it.” The letter mentions Greg Abel (Buffett’s successor), gives a shout-out to Charlie Munger, and confirms Buffett will continue writing Thanksgiving letters, though stepping back from shareholder letters and annual meeting speaking. Tom notes why Berkshire attracts capital during volatile periods: “You saw a flight to quality because they have just an enormous cash hoard right now, and plus the businesses that they own—those are rock solid good companies.” This selective buying and selling based on valuation—rather than following index allocations—exemplifies the advantages of personalized investment management over autopilot strategies. Technology’s Impact on Employment: The Verizon Example Mike highlights a trend emerging from the AI and technology revolution: “You’ve seen several companies announce large job layoffs this week. Verizon announced 15,000 cut to the workforce, but when you look at it as an investor, this is the aspect of AI and just technology that we’ve been talking about the last year.” He explains the market’s reaction: “As the technology matures, you’re gonna see companies benefit from just the economies of scale. Verizon, ‘s stock was green, partly because of that announcement. They also appointed a new CEO who’s gonna focus more on the customer.” Tom adds historical perspective: “Anytime there’s a technological revolution, there’s a retraining process.” For Kentucky retirement planning, this underscores the importance of owning quality companies that can adapt to technological change while continuing to generate income—the type of holdings you can actually see and understand when working with local financial advisors who provide portfolio transparency. 2026 Retirement Account Contribution Limits: What You Need to Know Mike provides timely information for retirement savers: “They just came out with the new contribution limits for 401(k)s and IRAs for 2026.” The New Numbers 401(k) Contribution Limit: Increased to $24,500 (up $1,000) IRA Contribution Limit: Increased to $7,500 Catch-Up Contributions Age 60-63: Even higher contribution allowed during this specific age window Important New Rule for High Earners Mike highlights a critical change: “If you have a 401(k) with your employer and you’re—as the IRS quantifies it—a high earner (which in their definition is if you make over $150,000), if you do a 401(k) catch-up to your plan, which that’s if you’re over 50, they changed the rule on this. That catch-up contribution now has to go to a Roth 401(k).” He acknowledges the complexity: “It gets a little complicated because of if it’s this, then it’s that and the little rules. If you have questions about your 401(k), give us a call. We can talk with you about it because the rules are important. You want to maximize the assets that you have and you want to use everything to your advantage that’s given to you.” Beyond the 401(k): Why You Need Additional Investment Strategies Tom delivers a contrarian perspective on retirement planning’s most popular vehicle: “Money that you can save aside that’s not in a 401(k)—that is actually your own money. You can invest that money far more creatively than you can within most 401(k) plans.” He continues: “I would actually advise people not to use their 401(k) as their sole retirement planning source. Invest in some things outside of that that you can—buy some stocks. You can’t buy stocks inside a 401(k). I’m glad to have 401(k) rollovers when they come to us. I think it’s great. I’m glad that people have built money over time, but it’s not the most creative way to invest.” The In-Service Rollover Strategy Mike offers a solution many don’t know exists: “Let’s say you’re still working and you’re 59 and a half. The employer matches—you can still take part in the employer match into the 401(k), but you can take your balance of the 401(k), move that to an IRA. It’s what’s called an in-service rollover. No tax consequences.” The advantage? “Then you can invest it in some of these other things that we’ve been talking about. You can do that while at the same time still utilizing the 401(k) for the match or the tax deferral. It’s just strategically using the tools that are available.” This flexibility allows those approaching retirement to maintain employer matching benefits while gaining access to individual stock and bond investing—the foundation of Dupree Financial Group’s income-focused approach. Retirement’s Real Risk: Running Out of Money vs. Running Out of Life Tom references the statistic Mike shared in a previous episode: “You were talking about earlier—there was a study done that Americans are more worried about running out of money than they are about death.” He connects this to retirement timing: “I would think that applies more to people who’ve already retired who know that they’re not doing anything more to put anything back. That’s why I tell people, if you don’t have to, don’t retire because it’s not good for you. It’s good for people to have something to do, a reason to get out of bed in the morning, a reason to do this, to do that.” The Purpose Question: What Are You Retiring To? Mike emphasizes a critical distinction: “The biggest success stories of clients have been people who have that—what are you retiring to? It’s not where you’re retiring from. What are you retiring to? That’s where we’ve always seen success—is when they’re engaged, they’re active. And a lot of times, more and more often, it’s some sort of gainful employment.” Tom agrees: “Gainful employment can be a lot of things, but it has to be something that requires you to be involved in something—putting some points on the board.” For Kentucky retirement planning, this philosophical perspective complements the financial strategy: combining meaningful activity with income-producing investments creates both purpose and security. Why Retirement Is Inherently Risky (And How to Mitigate That Risk) Mike delivers a candid assessment: “The idea of retirement—I don’t care how big the pool of assets are—the idea of retirement is a risky proposition just because it’s unnerving. It’s scary. It’s a scary thing for people for a reason because you’re giving up control. You’re trying to replicate an income stream through the assets that you’ve saved. So it is a risky thing just by nature, and people are living longer.” He defines the advisor’s role: “Our job as advisors to our clients, as investors, is how do we in the most prudent way produce an income stream?” Tom responds: “Well, that’s where the rubber meets the road—cash flow. And to do that takes experience. You have to have seen some things in the past that worked and some things that didn’t work.” This accumulated wisdom—47 years in Tom’s case—represents a significant advantage of working with experienced local financial advisors rather than being assigned an investment counselor at a large national firm who may lack this historical perspective and market cycle experience. Finding Opportunities in Market Volatility Tom shifts to the practical implications of recent market choppiness: “Right now, you’re gonna need to look at some of these stocks that have gotten beat up and find some bargains in there because they’re gonna be there. There’s always opportunities.” He recalls recent successful positioning: “In April, when everybody was scared to death, you’re starting to see some things now that we’ve added several things to the portfolio in the last three weeks.” The Kroger Purchase: Quality at Reasonable Prices When asked to name something recognizable they’ve added, Tom reveals: “One place where you buy your milk and your gasoline—Kroger. We bought some Kroger.” This purchase exemplifies several principles: Buying quality companies during market weakness Investing in businesses that people actually use and understand Focusing on stable, dividend-paying companies rather than speculation Taking advantage of price volatility to acquire good businesses at better valuations This active decision-making—buying specific companies for specific reasons at specific times—contrasts sharply with passive index investing that automatically buys whatever the index holds, regardless of valuation or business quality. Review the market commentary archive to see how Dupree Financial Group has identified opportunities across various market environments. The Cornerstone of Retirement Portfolios: Predictable Income Mike emphasizes the foundation of their approach: “Markets are choppy—that’ll probably continue. That’s the nature of markets. But just you have to be diligent, always looking for opportunities, always looking for things that accomplish your goals. Fundamentals—look at the companies. That’s what we’re doing. We try to do that every day. We try to find things that work for our clients. That’s the goal.” He highlights what makes this possible: “But there’s accountability. Our clients know what they own. And the cornerstone of the portfolio is income because that is more predictable than price appreciation or price movement.” Tom connects this to retirement reality: “It’s very important in retirement too because you’ve got to have income to pay the bills that you’re used to having your work income pay for.” This focus on predictable cash flow rather than unpredictable price appreciation represents the fundamental difference between speculation and sustainable retirement investing. Portfolio Transparency: Knowing What You Own and Why Throughout the episode, the theme of transparency and accountability recurs. When clients can see exactly which companies they own—Kroger, Berkshire Hathaway, dividend-paying stocks, government bonds—they understand where their retirement income originates. This contrasts with: Index funds where you own whatever 500 companies meet arbitrary criteria Target-date funds that Tom calls “zero in terms of creativity” Annuities backed by insurance company bond portfolios you never see Any “black box” product that obscures actual holdings The advantage of transparency becomes especially clear during volatile markets like the current environment. When the Nasdaq drops 4% but your portfolio generates positive returns, you understand why: you own dividend-producing companies and government bonds selected for income stability, not speculation on growth. Market Outlook: Navigating Continued Choppiness Tom provides his near-term perspective: “You’re gonna have your up days and down days. And you’re gonna make your most money with growth over time. Take some risk, think about what you’re buying, and go for it.” Mike offers guidance for the coming period: “Markets have been choppy the last couple of weeks. That’ll probably continue. That’s the nature of markets.” The takeaway for those thinking about retirement or already in retirement in Kentucky: choppy markets are normal, but having experienced advisors who actively manage portfolios—buying quality companies when they’re on sale, maintaining income-producing core holdings, and providing direct access to explain every decision—makes navigating volatility far less stressful than watching index funds fluctuate with no understanding of what you actually own.

Frequently Asked Questions About Market Volatility and Retirement Income Investing What caused the recent tech stock sell-off? The Nasdaq dropped approximately 4% as growth stocks trading at “stretch multiples” (high valuations) pulled back. Tom Dupree explains this was predictable in a “toppy market” where stocks had run up significantly. The catalyst included shifting Federal Reserve rate cut expectations (from 95% probability to 50/50 for December) and natural profit-taking after strong gains. Importantly, this correction didn’t require bad news—simply the reality meeting elevated expectations. How did Dupree Financial Group’s portfolio perform during the tech sell-off? While the Nasdaq fell 4%, Tom Dupree reports their more conservative portfolio “actually made a little money” during the same period. The portfolio’s foundation of dividend-paying stocks and government bonds provided stability while they selectively added growth positions “around the margins” in small amounts. This demonstrates how income-focused investing protects capital during volatility while still participating in growth opportunities. Why do interest rates affect growth stock valuations? Mike Johnson explains that growth stocks typically warrant higher price-to-earnings multiples when interest rates are falling. Warren Buffett discussed this concept: the risk-free rate (typically US government bonds) serves as a baseline for all investments. When this rate is lower, investors will pay more for growth potential. Tom adds it’s “a tailwind that allows for speculation” and “gives it permission to go higher.” However, this is separate from actual business performance—a company can report great earnings and still fall if rate expectations shift. What is a “flight to quality” in investing? Mike describes how, during market uncertainty, investors move capital toward more stable, proven companies and assets. Recent examples include increased interest in healthcare stocks, Berkshire Hathaway (with its enormous cash reserves and solid businesses), and dividend-paying stocks. This contrasts with speculative growth investments. For those in Kentucky retirement planning, this trend validates the income-focused approach that prioritizes quality over speculation. What are the 2026 retirement account contribution limits? The IRS announced: 401(k) contributions increase to $24,500 (up $1,000); IRA contributions increase to $7,500; and individuals aged 60-63 can contribute even more. A significant new rule: high earners (defined as making over $150,000) must now make catch-up contributions (for those over 50) to a Roth 401(k) rather than traditional pre-tax. Mike recommends calling for personalized guidance since “it gets a little complicated” with various age brackets and income thresholds. Can I move my 401(k) to an IRA while still working? Yes, through an “in-service rollover” if you’re 59½ or older. Mike explains you can continue receiving employer matching in your 401(k) while simultaneously moving your existing balance to an IRA with no tax consequences. This allows investment in individual stocks and bonds—which Tom notes “you can’t buy stocks inside a 401(k)”—while maintaining employer benefits. This strategy provides far more investment flexibility than typical 401(k) options like index funds or target-date funds. Should I use my 401(k) as my only retirement savings? Tom Dupree advises against this: “I would actually advise people not to use their 401(k) as their sole retirement planning source.” He notes that money outside a 401(k) “is actually your own money” that “you can invest far more creatively.” While he’s “glad to have 401(k) rollovers,” he acknowledges “it’s not the most creative way to invest” since most people invest through indexes or target-date funds—”zero in terms of creativity.” Maintaining savings in both qualified and non-qualified accounts provides more flexibility. Why is income more important than growth for retirement portfolios? Mike emphasizes: “The cornerstone of the portfolio is income because that is more predictable than price appreciation or price movement.” Tom adds it’s “very important in retirement too because you’ve got to have income to pay the bills that you’re used to having your work income pay for.” When living off your portfolio, you can’t wait for prices to recover from a downturn—you need cash flow regardless of market conditions. Dividends and bond interest provide this predictability that growth speculation cannot. What does it mean that retirement is “inherently risky”? Mike explains: “I don’t care how big the pool of assets are—the idea of retirement is a risky proposition just because it’s unnerving. It’s scary. You’re giving up control. You’re trying to replicate an income stream through the assets that you’ve saved.” People are also living longer, extending the period assets must last. The solution, according to Tom, requires experience: “To do that takes experience. You have to have seen some things in the past that worked and some things that didn’t work.” Should I retire if I can afford to financially? Tom offers contrarian advice: “If you don’t have to, don’t retire because it’s not good for you. It’s good for people to have something to do, a reason to get out of bed in the morning.” Mike emphasizes the critical question: “What are you retiring to? It’s not where you’re retiring from. It’s what are you retiring to?” Their most successful clients remain engaged and active, often with “some sort of gainful employment.” This philosophy combines financial security with life purpose—both essential for successful retirement. How do you find investment opportunities during market volatility? Tom advises: “You’re gonna need to look at some of these stocks that have gotten beaten up and find some bargains in there because they’re gonna be there. There are always opportunities.” He recalls April when “everybody was scared to death” and notes they’ve “added several things to the portfolio in the last three weeks”—including Kroger. The key is having a process: “Be diligent, always looking for opportunities, always looking for things that accomplish your goals. Fundamentals—look at the companies.” This requires direct access to portfolio managers who actively manage rather than autopilot index strategies. Why does portfolio transparency matter during volatile markets? Mike states, “Our clients know what they own. And the cornerstone of the portfolio is income.” When markets drop and the Nasdaq falls 4%, but your portfolio generates positive returns, transparency lets you understand why: you own dividend-producing companies selected for income stability, not speculation. This contrasts with index funds (where you own arbitrary collections of stocks), target-date funds, or annuities, where you never see underlying holdings. Understanding what you own eliminates anxiety during volatility.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 17, 2024 is: lucrative • LOO-kruh-tiv • adjective Something described as lucrative produces money or wealth. // The author parlayed the success of her books into a lucrative second career as a public speaker. See the entry > Examples: "A vibrant commercial Off Broadway sector existed decades ago, but it shrank as the nonprofit theater movement grew, providing a home for adventurous art. It also contracted as Broadway surged, providing the temptation of bigger audiences and higher profits, and as some venues were lost for more lucrative real estate uses." — Michael Paulson, The New York Times, 11 Apr. 2024 Did you know? Paying, gainful, remunerative, and lucrative are all used to describe ways to bring home the bacon, but each term suggests a different amount of bacon being brought in. Paying is the word for jobs that yield the smallest potatoes—a paying job should provide satisfactory compensation, but you're not going to get rich by it. Gainful employment might offer a bit more cash, and gainful certainly suggests that an individual is motivated by a desire for gain. Remunerative implies that a job provides more than the usual rewards, but a lucrative position is really the one you want—that's the kind that goes beyond your initial hopes or expectations to really bring in the lucre (both lucrative and lucre come from the Latin noun lucrum, meaning "gain" or "profit").
It is increasingly possible to hyper-curate your life to avoid tension and conflict. But, just like exercise or intermittent fasting, the stress of difficult conversations is good for you! In this episode, Jeff and Jake discuss how exposure to disagreement builds a robust psychological immune system.

//The Wire//1930Z February 20, 2024////ROUTINE////BLUF: HOUTHI FORCES INTENSIFY ATTACKS, SHOOT DOWN AMERICAN DRONE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Red Sea/HOA: Significant escalations in the region have taken place following the successful attack on the M/V RUBYMAR with many commercial vessels being targeted by a variety of Houthi weapons systems. The following is a summary of the vessels targeted yesterday: M/V SEA CHAMPION – Struck with one Anti-Ship Ballistic Missile (ASBM). Minor damage reported.M/V NAVIS FORTUNA – Struck with kamikaze drone. Minor damage reported.USS LABOON (DDG 58) – Attacked with ASCM, which was successfully intercepted. No damage reported.Additionally, CENTCOM reports various un-named coalition vessels engaging a total of 10 kamikaze drones in the region overnight.Last night, Houthi forces reported successfully shooting down an American MQ-9 Reaper drone off the coast of Yemen. Though CENTCOM has not officially confirmed the shootdown, local Yemenis have posted photos of the debris on various social media platforms. AC: This morning, CENTCOM did make a reference to destroying a SAM site for the first time in this conflict. However, this conveniently leaves out the reasoning behind locating the SAM site likely being the result of an MQ-9 being shot down.-Homefront-NY: A large nationwide trucking protest has begun to become more organized. Various independent truckers are organizing to boycott deliveries to New York following the perceived injustice of the outcome of Donald Trump's civil trial. AC: This protest officially started yesterday, but due to the media blackout of this demonstration it has taken time for many truckers to hear about it. The specific goals of this protest are to deliberately cause shortages of resources and increase prices for New Yorkers.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Few details remain regarding the status of the M/V RUBYMAR, the vessel that was reportedly sunk Sunday night, and thus leading to the current escalation of the conflict in the Gulf of Aden. Though the crew reported both taking on water and uncontrolled fires before abandoning ship, it is unclear as to if the vessel has finished sinking or if salvage operations will attempt to be conducted. As the crew has abandoned ship, for simplicity the M/V RUBYMAR will be referred to as ‘sunk' until more information becomes available.Regarding the probable shootdown of an American drone off the coast of Yemen, this could temporarily increase concerns for commercial aviation throughout the region in addition to the merchant shipping woes. This is the second recent shootdown of an American drone in the region, with Houthi forces shooting down another American MQ-9 back in November of last year. As the MQ-9 platform is a high-flying asset, the weapons system used to target this drone would also certainly be capable of targeting commercial aviation. This is further reinforced by CENTCOM's announcement of striking a SAM site. It is almost certain that the asset used to target the drone was an SA-6 GAINFUL surface-to-air missile system, the same asset used to down the first MQ-9 in November.Analyst: S2A1//END REPORT//

#motivatewithkat Terance Gonsalves is a partner and chair of the education practice at the law firm of Alston and Bird. In this episode, he is here to discuss the new regulations and low enrollments in higher education joined by my co-host Deborah Solmor. Deborah shares her experience in the higher education space, while Terance offers his expertise as a legal professional. The guest provide insights and solutions for the challenges faced by schools in the current climate. The episode is informative and aims to alleviate some of the stress faced by educators and administrators. In this video, you will be able to learn Gainful employment regulations require career programs to meet metrics showing graduates find jobs and repay loans. They protect students and were reinstated, effective July 1, 2023. Programs may be cut if they don't meet metrics. But enrollment may stay stable as schools change programs. Regulations mandate reporting, like telling students if they didn't meet metrics. Students must acknowledge this. Some programs like culinary schools may struggle as grads often start in low-paying jobs. Training and empowering admissions advisors is key. Advisors need tools and knowledge for effective, compliant talks with students. They monitor call quality and build rapport to understand needs and guide students. Advisors are essential to a school's success. Resources and support help them guide students to good outcomes, benefitting both.

“What we realised early on is that the consumer sentiment is shifting," says Deepen Parikh, Partner at Courtside Ventures and guest on this week's Sports Loft Podcast. "When you look at a younger consumer and the way they interact with sports – whether it's through live streaming or audio, whether they're fans of a team or players, even what they view as sports – these were all areas that were dramatically shifting.” When Courtside was founded in 2015, it was this realisation that informed the investment strategy of the New York firm, leading to successful early stage backing of startups operating across the sports, tech and media landscape, including adjacent sectors. Part of the founding team, Deepen instrumental in Courtside's involvement in sports media giant The Athletic, personalised nutrition business Gainful, esports and lifestyle organisation 100 Thieves, and many more. We caught up with him to dig into where he sees the opportunities today (and which sectors Courtside is avoiding), to find out what VCs can offer founders beyond the funding itself, and to ask how the firm goes about making its investment decisions. Here's just one nugget from the conversation: "We like taking models that we know really well in the US, and then finding what we believe are the most compelling teams in more nascent markets but where the TAM is incredibly large and so we're diving [into sports gaming] really heavily," says Deepen. “We're looking a lot more at wellness as a category, nutrition, and a lot of other areas that we think there's a lot of growth opportunities that are still fairly nascent. So every fund within the world of sports, collectibles, gaming and wellness we'll go really deep in a couple of areas. Our goal is to talk to as many companies as we can to understand the market landscape and ultimately make investments in areas we think we can be really helpful to the founders in.”

Welcome to Brands Talking Influencers Q&A. We're taking our fireside chat to the GRIN Gets Real podcast. Now you can listen & learn beyond the webinar experience. If you missed our fireside chat, review the podcast episode page for the rewatch link so that you can catch up. If you were there, you listened to how Taylor took their influencer program, which was more focused on affiliate first, and turned it around to month-over-month success by reframing the focus to content. She shared the drastic change in the type of content they received after this reframing of their program. The richer content was more authentic, lifestyle-focused, and ultimately told the Gainful brand story better. They focus on building relationships to create a strong brand community, that ultimately is key to the success of their program. With a dedicated headcount to managing the program, they've been able to grow their program to the success that it is now. Watch, rewatch, learn from the lessons they went through. What you're about to listen to is the Q&A that we didn't get to. This fireside chat had a record number of questions and we tried to squeeze it all in there. They answered questions like...."how long did it take you guys to grow your affiliate team" to "What does your vetting process look like."Put your air pods in, turn up the volume and get ready for a little influencer marketing Q&A with Bridget and Taylor from Gainful.Enjoy a special offer of $15 off your order here >>> gainful.com/GRIN!

Subscriptions: Scaled - A podcast about subscription businesses
In this episode of the Subscriptions: Scaled podcast, Eric Wu, Co-Founder at Gainful joins host Nick Fredrick from Rebar Technology to talk about his subscription-only personalized nutrition company.The concept behind Gainful started with Eric's unpleasant experience in college as an athlete trying to untangle the uncomfortable and confusing web of hype and snake oil sales that pervades the traditional nutritional supplement retail environment.Telling his co-founder about his idea for a better way led to the founding of Gainful. Early on in the process, they decided to go to a subscription-only model, despite the fact that their testing showed that a la carte offerings had a much higher conversion rate. That decision paid off, leading them to find ways to make their personalized experience for each customer the best it could be. The result is a much higher retention rate than they would ever have achieved with a la carte sales. They have refined their customer experience as they have grown, and they now use all the data points they can collect—including direct customer conversations, polls, and surveys—to continue to improve on their customer experience, which has led to rapid growth and a bright future.Click the link in the comments for the whole conversation.
