Frank Holmes gives his outlook for crypto in the second half of 2025, and how “Crypto Week” on the Hill is shaping up. He calls the legislative process “phenomenal” so far. “Government policies are a precursor to change…the GENIUS Act is going to usher in stablecoins globally.” He says we are in a “supercycle” of crypto just like we are in A.I. Frank also argues that a U.S. stablecoin would shore up the dollar. He thinks Bitcoin could hit $500K “by Christmas,” and in the long-term, multimillions.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

For the longest time, getting accepted to Y Combinator, the Silicon Valley startup accelerator was like getting a golden ticket for your startup. It was suddenly on the map not just in India but in Silicon Valley, too. For Indian founders who made it, the story of success began with a journey west. Set up in Delaware, impress YC, and get some of that Silicon Valley shine. But what happens when that dream starts looking more like a detour than a destination?Earlier this week, the online market place Meesho, once a poster child from the YC pipeline, announced it will pay nearly 300 million $ million in taxes just to bring its business back to India. Why? Because that's where the real opportunity is now. With an IPO in the works, Meesho is doing what many Indian startups are now considering: the reverse flip. And Meesho isnt the only one. Fintech unicorn Razorpay, another Y combinator baby, wants an Indian IPO in the next two years. Its expected to pay as much as $150 million to redomicile its business to India. But if the endgame is an Indian IPO, why take the expensive U.S. route in the first place? Is the YC badge still worth it? Tune in.

While still at university, Eric Everard was already juggling three businesses, studying hard, and even learning Mandarin — a true display of entrepreneurial drive. Shortly after graduating, he launched yet another venture: the beginnings of what would become Easyfairs. Fast forward two decades, and Easyfairs has evolved into a global events powerhouse. In this episode, Eric shares the Easyfairs journey, including how he sold the business and bought it back for €1, and how his early commitment to technology has positioned Easyfairs as one of the world's leading tech-driven event companies today, built on a scalable and purpose-built platform that continues to evolve. He also dives into the role of geo-cloning in their expansion, the growth of Comicon across Europe, the strategic M&A engine behind their success, and why, in his view, people don't leave companies — they leave bad bosses.

Anthony Rose is the co-founder and CEO of SeedLegals, the #1 platform for startup funding and legals in the UK. But long before he was helping tens of thousands of founders raise capital and avoid legal potholes, Anthony was in the digital trenches – first turning the music industry on its head with Kazaa, then helping reinvent online streaming at the BBC with iPlayer, before building and selling a few startups of his own.In this episode, we go deep into what it really means to have founder-problem fit, the magic of applying a product mindset to gnarly challenges like startup legal docs, and how Anthony is now taking SeedLegals across the pond to crack the US market.We also talk about reinventing yourself as a founder, knowing when to build vs. when to sell, and why your legal docs should be like the owner's manual in your car – built on all the ways things can go wrong.If you've ever tried to sell an unfinished product, pitched into skepticism, or had a strange love affair with a weirdly specific problem – this one's for you.KEY POINTS FROM THIS EPISODEFounder-Problem Fit: Anthony thrives on solving the problems nobody else wants—like turning legal complexity into a smooth, scalable product experience for startups.The Productization of Law: From auto-generated funding docs to clauses like “No Pay, No Play,” SeedLegals is redefining how legals should work at early stage.From iPlayer to Legal Tech: The shift from media to law wasn't planned—it was sparked by a party in Rome and a technical founder's obsession with inefficiency.Scaling the Right Way: Anthony explains why raising too much money too soon can kill your startup's focus—and how lean execution wins.Going Global, One Event at a Time: With SeedLegals now expanding into the US, Anthony is pounding the pavement in NYC to build community-led growth from the ground up.Selling as a Founder: Why the first sales hire outperformed Anthony—and how he learned to switch from “builder brain” to “buyer focus.Connect with Anthony Rose and SeedLegals:SeedLegals WebsiteFollow SeedLegals on LinkedIn Connect with Anthony Rose on LinkedInKEYWORDS:SeedLegals, Anthony Rose, Pete Townsend, MoneyNeverSleeps, startup legal docs, founder problem fit, UK startups, US expansion, startup funding, cap tables, term sheets, startup founder tips, legal tech, product development, startup fundraising, iPlayer, Kazaa, venture capital, VC advice, New York startups, scaling globally, early stage startups, startup mistakes, how to pitch, founder legal protection, Techstars Web3, startup acceleratorLeave a review and subscribe onApple PodcastsSpotifyMoneyNeverSleeps (website)Email us: info@norioventures.comFollow on X(Twitter):Pete Townsend: https://twitter.com/petetownsendnvMoneyNeverSleeps: https://twitter.com/MNSshowFollow on LinkedIn:Pete Townsend: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pete-townsend-1b18301a/MoneyNeverSleeps: https://www.linkedin.com/company/28661903/MoneyNeverSleeps newsletter: https://moneyneversleeps.substack.com/

Congratulations, you've been accepted into the inaugural class of Therapy for Black Girls University. Whether packing for a new year on campus, thinking through your gap year, enrolling in a community college, or grabbing your stoles for graduation, TBG U is here to help you thrive at this stage of your life and beyond. Studying abroad can be one of the most rewarding experiences of a college student's life, but there are soooo many things to consider when preparing to apply for a program – the financial costs, choosing a country to go to, and even knowing what program to apply for. To provide advice and help synthesize all of the information that's involved with studying abroad, I'm joined today by two guests – founder of the non-profit Girl's Going Global, Martice Sutton, and Girl's Going Global student ambassador, Rachel Jones. Girls Going Global is a non-profit organization designed to expose and empower African-American girls through travel and cultural exchange. In our conversation, we discuss what it means to travel abroad as a Black woman, some important safety tips to keep in mind when staying in a foreign country, and the importance of viewing study abroad as a chance for cultural immersion — rather than as a vacation. Where to Find Our Guests Rachel Jones Instagram Martice Sutton Website Instagram Facebook Twitter HOMEWORK Begin researching what study abroad program you'd like to apply for, whether it be a volunteer, study, or work experience. Your college's study abroad office is a great place to start! If you've already committed to a study abroad program, begin creating your packing list to make sure you aren't leaving out any essentials! For safety, look into registering your study abroad trip with the US State Department, as well as starting a travel insurance policy.
