    This episode introduces a new monthly webinar series focused on “Nutrition Without the Hype,” aiming to cut through misinformation and quick-fix trends by returning to simple, foundational principles of health. Drawing on personal stories and decades of experience, the hosts emphasize that true nutrition is not about perfection, supplements, or chasing nutrients in isolation, but about understanding food as a system rooted in cell health, pH balance, and source. They explain how lifestyle choices—rest, stress management, movement, hydration, and whole foods close to their natural source—directly influence digestion, inflammation, gut health, mental health, and long-term vitality. The conversation challenges supplement-driven culture, highlights the power of real food (especially fruits, vegetables, healthy fats, and gut-supportive foods), and reframes nutrition as both medicine and information. Ultimately, the episode encourages listeners to build sustainable habits, focus on behavior over hype, and make small, repeatable upgrades that support lifelong health.

    Brad Reacts To Paul Saladino's Whey Protein Claims (Sorting Fact From Hype)

    In this episode, I do a reaction—and a critical deep dive—into Paul Saladino’s newly released Heart & Soil grass-fed whey protein. I explain why whey protein is considered the highest biological-value protein on the planet, why I’ve personally been very selective about using it, and what immediately caught my attention when Paul repeatedly claimed his whey is “better than all other proteins” because it’s made directly from milk instead of cheese—without explaining why. Since that claim matters, I dig into the details to see whether it actually holds up. I share insights from a third-generation family cheesemaker I trust, who’s been in the whey business for decades, about how whey is actually produced and why making whey directly from milk requires much higher processing temperatures—up to around 160°F—compared to the cold-processed methods used for high-quality whey protein isolate. I explain why higher heat can damage nutrient potency, bioavailability, and immune-supporting proteins, break down the key difference between whey protein isolate and whey protein concentrate, and why the Heart & Soil product appears to be a concentrate despite being marketed as superior. I also talk about red flags around “proprietary” processing claims, compare this kind of marketing to similar claims made about creatine products, and give credit where it’s due—grass-fed New Zealand sourcing and third-party heavy-metal testing—while encouraging listeners to look past hype and understand how their protein is actually made. TIMESTAMPS: Let's look at the protein supplements and how they are described. When you see the word “proprietary,” it throws up a red flag. [02:02] Making whey from milk instead of cheese requires higher processing temperatures. [04:08] Be careful when you hear the sales pitches. Of course, the product sounds great when presented enthusiastically.

    Stranger Things Farewell and Our Biggest Hype Picks for 2026

    Episode Summary Frank and Jonathan are officially back for 2026 after a hectic but fun holiday break, including the Geek Freaks Network Christmas party and a little self-awareness about how often podcasters say "you know." From there, they hand out their personal "best of 2025" picks across movies, TV, superhero projects, and games, plus run through the community poll winners. Then it's full speed into 2026 hype: a family-friendly movie calendar, the big "adult list" blockbusters (including the absolute chaos of Avengers: Doomsday and Dune 3 landing the same day), and the TV slate they're most excited to keep on the radar. They close with a spoiler-heavy talk on the Stranger Things finale and what the show stuck the landing on, especially character growth, the goodbye energy, and how cinematic the final battles felt. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Welcome back, holiday break recap, and the Geek Freaks Network Christmas party 01:45 "Best of 2025" picks: movies, TV, and what surprised them 04:26 Superhero movie and superhero show poll results (plus some spicy takes) 10:16 Game of the year voting and falling back on comfort games 11:38 Best villain debate and why Pennywise took over the conversation 14:50 2026 family movie calendar (kid-friendly theater picks) 20:22 2026 blockbuster calendar: 28 Years Later, Project Hail Mary, Ready or Not 2, and more 26:43 The "event day" problem: Avengers: Doomsday and Dune 3 on the same date 28:22 2026 TV hype: The Boys, Game of Thrones spin-offs, Star Trek, One Piece, Lanterns, and more 38:46 Stranger Things finale review: the goodbye, the battle, and what hit hardest 47:15 Dungeons and Dragons sidebar and why they need binders like Stranger Things 50:01 "Most cinematic finale" talk and the Abyss/Dimension X discussion Key Takeaways Sinners was Frank's clear movie of 2025, with major praise for the craft and the left-turn genre surprise. Superman won the community superhero movie vote, but Thunderbolts got real respect for performances and exceeding expectations. Andor is still the "tell your friends they're missing out" show, even if Stranger Things owned the bigger pop culture moment. The superhero show vote was tight, and the conversation around Daredevil: Born Again came with real critiques about structure and payoff. 2026 is stacked across both "take your kid to the movies" picks and big-ticket IMAX events. Stranger Things earned its goodbye, especially by bringing the focus back to friendship, growing up, and the reality that life moves on. Memorable Quotes "You realize how much you say 'you know' when you're podcasting." "It felt like a finale divided in two." "This is about friends and not just this big brand fight." "Don't let Disney brush it off. Watch it and enjoy this fresh idea from Marvel." "As much as they're saying bye to each other, they're saying bye to us as well." Poll and Discussion Highlights Mentioned Best superhero movie vote: Superman took the top spot (with Thunderbolts close behind in their personal debate). Best superhero show vote: Daredevil: Born Again edged out Peacemaker in a near tie. Game of the year vote: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 came out on top. Best villain talk: Pennywise (Welcome to Derry) dominated the conversation, with shout-outs to other standouts.

    Heute geht es bei mir um autonomes Fahren und Robotaxis: Ich habe meinen Führerschein vor rund 35 Jahren gemacht und kenne deshalb den typischen Anleger-Gedanken nur zu gut: „So weit sind wir noch lange nicht, bis das Auto wirklich für uns entscheidet.“ Das klingt schnell nach Hype. Doch nach meiner Fahrt gestern über eine Autobahn wurde mir schlagartig klar: Das wird kommen – sicher. Und vermutlich nicht erst in 15 Jahren, sondern eher in fünf bis zehn. Einige entscheidende Entwicklungen werden wir sogar deutlich früher sehen – und genau dort könnten auch für Anleger Chancen entstehen.

    This episode of the podcast truly sets the tone for what's ahead: a slower, more intentional start to 2026 that is grounded in truth, humor, reflection, and trust, so if you have ever felt pressure to rush forward before you're ready, then this conversation will feel like permission to breathe. Jill welcomes everyone to the first episode of 2026! Tune in as she opens up with a heartfelt welcome and a moment of celebration after discovering Spotify Wrapped named the show a 2025 marathon show, fan favorite, and one of the most shared podcasts of the year! Jill breaks down what those numbers actually mean (nearly 1,000% growth in new listeners, increased followers, and global reach) while grounding the win in gratitude for the community and team behind the scenes! Jill's conversation then shifts into something far more personal, with her reflecting on a holiday season that didn't look the way she expected: a Christmas without her family home, without beloved decorations, with illness, only fragments of time with all five kids together, etc., and she shares how those changes stirred old childhood wounds that she points out are tied to scarcity, safety, and control. She also discusses how the loss of aesthetic rituals revealed just how much they mattered to her, not out of perfectionism but as a form of healing and self-expression! Jill also features stories of last-minute wrapping paper, forced "Christmas Eve," and learning to laugh at herself when things fall apart, and she revisits her now-signature practice of closing out a year intentionally, explaining why she doesn't rush into January 1st as a clean slate. Jill discusses slowing down, reflecting, releasing, and allowing the year to end on a proper note before welcoming the next. She draws from lunar rhythms, personal intuition, and years of guiding others through this process, and rather than resolutions or hustle, Jill invites listeners into stillness, clarity, and boundaries as preparation for the coming year of the Fire Horse! Show Notes: [0:08] - Jill welcomes listeners, shares a Wrapped surprise, and celebrates five years and over 300 episodes. [3:16 - Hear how Spotify crowned Be YOU Podcast a 2025 favorite! [5:22] - Jill explains how a 13% follower increase shows intentional loyalty and global reach. [8:07] - Jill reminds us that holidays are messy, social media lies, and envy dissolves when there is truth. [11:35] - Jill discusses how Christmas felt strange because she lacked her home. [14:46] - Giving defines Jill, but lost traditions and fractured schedules quietly deepened the holiday sadness for her. [17:25] - Hear how Christmas felt chaotic for Jill even though she embraced imperfect moments and reflected on her love for aesthetics. [20:28] - Jill accepted what she couldn't control, finding meaning and joy despite a messy holiday. [22:56] - Last week's episode replay can help listeners anchor lessons, release burdens, and close the year consciously! [25:35] - January is for slow reflection, preparing thoughtfully for 2026 instead of ushing forward. [28:50] - Jill elaborates on how the year of the fire horse signals growth, intensity, and embracing life's expansion. [30:10] - Hear how Jill eased into the new year gradually, reflecting deeply, letting go, and trusting her soul's guidance.

    2025 was the year of, "Buy more, go faster, and worry about the fallout later." We put the innovation agenda on the company credit card. But as we enter 2026, the music has stopped, the lights have come on, and the tab is coming due.This week, I'm declassifying what I call the "AI Hangover." Many headlines continue screaming about the next model release and fueling the FOMO, but if you're a business leader, you shouldn't be worried about GPT-6. You need to be worried about incoming fallout of bad decisions and the "Workslop" clogging your current operations.  I spent the last 12 months analyzing the crash before it happened so you don't have to. In this episode, I move past the vendor hype to focus on the three "Market Truths" that prove the party is over. We're transitioning from a year of reckless consumption to a year of necessary cleanup.The real risk isn't that you missed the AI boat; it's that you're driving a supercar on unpaved roads. I break down the three massive failures happening in the market right now:​ The "Ready, Fire, Aim" Failure: Why buying the Ferrari (Enterprise AI) before paving the roads (Data & Readiness) has left organizations with "Silos on Steroids" and pilot purgatory.  ​ The "Workslop" Crisis: Why 2025's "Slop" (Word of the Year) is becoming 2026's corporate nightmare. We discuss why measuring usage is lying to you about value, and the "Productivity Paradox" of generating code bugs faster than ever.  ​ The "Agentic Letdown": The data is in—the robots aren't coming to save us. The "autonomy gap" proves that AI agents cannot run your company, and relying on them to do so is a recipe for catastrophe.  If you're a leader wondering how to clean up the mess without stopping innovation, I share the infrastructure you need to survive.​ The Diagnostic Check: Stop prescribing medicine before checking vitals. Why you need a "Pathfinder Pulse" to map your readiness before you spend another dollar.  ​ The Quality Audit: How to use the "AI Effectiveness Rating" (AER) to distinguish between digital leverage (nutrition) and digital noise (fast food).  ​ The Human Upgrade: Why the "Agentic Future" actually requires more human strategic fluency, not less—and why the Future-Focused Academy is the bridge to safety.  By the end, I hope you'll see this "hangover" not as a failure, but as a necessary signal to stop consuming and start digesting. The party is over, but the real work is just beginning.⸻If this conversation helps you think more clearly about the future we're building, make sure to like, share, and subscribe.

    Ep 143- Encore Episode: AI in Population Health: Value vs Hype with Dr. David Nash As the year comes to a close, enjoy a throwback to one of their most popular episodes of 2025. On this episode Dan explores the evolving role of artificial intelligence (AI) in population health. As AI continues to dominate industry conversations and drive vendor offerings, healthcare leaders are faced with questions: What is real, what is hype, and where does the value lie? Dr. David Nash, Founding Dean Emeritus of Jefferson College of Population Health and a nationally recognized thought leader in value-based care and population health, joins the conversation. Additionally, Rick Howard, a seasoned Chief Data Officer and AI Strategist contributes to the conversation with his deep expertise in driving data-driven innovation across healthcare organizations. Together, they break down common misconceptions, highlight the most promising AI applications in care delivery, and offer practical insights into how health systems, providers, and payers can responsibly integrate AI to drive meaningful outcomes and return on investment (ROI).

    "Trump Accounts" are being discussed as a new way to help children and young adults invest for the future—but are they a meaningful planning tool or simply clever branding? In this episode, we break down how Trump Accounts are structured, how they differ from traditional retirement and custodial accounts, and why return assumptions deserve careful scrutiny. We also discuss funding mechanics, diversification considerations, and what actually happens when a child reaches age 18. Importantly, we address what these accounts are not designed to do—including education planning, where 529 plans may remain more effective. Along the way, we share lessons on dollar-cost averaging, long-term ownership, and why financial literacy matters more than the wrapper itself. Finally, we zoom out to the bigger picture: using the new year as an opportunity to refresh your financial plan, revisit retirement contributions, understand SECURE Act changes, and begin thoughtful estate and legacy conversations. January may be a "no-fun" month, but it is one of the most important times to get organized and set the foundation for 2026 and beyond. 0:00 - INTRO 0:20 - Trump Accounts Overview - is it a con?

    Thomas and Frank look back on the movies and TV that defined their 2025, from why Superman hit so hard to how Marvel's three-film run landed with Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four, and Captain America: Brave New World. They also talk about the stuff that disappointed them, why TV felt like it "won" this year, and the shows they could not stop thinking about, including IT: Welcome to Derry, Alien: Earth, and Andor. To close it out, they shift into 2026 mode: what's got them genuinely excited again, which upcoming releases feel like "event" movies, and how they want to evolve Challenge Accepted next year by being more personal and more present on social. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 – Welcome back, what this episode covers (2025 favorites + 2026 hype) 00:33 – Thomas check-in and the newborn update 01:32 – The baby's first Marvel movie (yes, really) 03:31 – Quick run through the 2025 movie list 03:55 – Why Superman was the movie of the year 04:02 – F1 as the surprise hit 07:15 – What worked in Superman (comic-book storytelling and trusting the audience) 10:56 – "I needed that movie this year" 11:03 – Marvel's 2025 slate starts: Brave New World, Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts 11:56 – Why Thunderbolts is the one that felt different 18:12 – Sinners and the hunger for original stories 22:25 – Weapons (and the conversation spirals into other watchlist picks) 24:56 – K-Pop Demon Hunters love and why it clicked 28:38 – Disappointments and missed watches, including Star Trek: Section 31 30:24 – "TV shows dominate" and why this year proved it 30:53 – TV highlights sprint: Welcome to Derry, Stranger Things, Daredevil, Alien: Earth, and more 32:04 – Andor praise and why the release format worked 35:01 – Frank's top TV list: Chief of War, Paradise, Player Base 36:03 – Alien: Earth reactions (including the ending debate) 37:08 – Next year's challenge (Fargo Season 4) 39:10 – Revisiting Marvel 2025: what each movie represents and what Marvel should learn 41:33 – The big disappointment: Chair Company (plus Ironheart) 45:03 – Quick plug: Survivor 49 coverage and Survivor 50 excitement 46:11 – 2026 hype begins: Supergirl and the DCU momentum 50:02 – The Odyssey and why it feels like an "event" movie 51:15 – Marvel needs to "earn" the hype again 52:51 – Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping and why it could be huge 53:16 – Rapid fire 2026 watchlist: Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Project Hail Mary, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple 55:01 – Why seeing Spider-Man filmed "for people" matters 55:55 – The Mandalorian and Grogu as a real theatrical Star Wars moment 57:54 – What they want to improve on Challenge Accepted next year 58:40 – Social media mindset: be natural, be present, stop over-polishing 59:52 – Outro + how to send in your challenge Key Takeaways Superman landed because it played like an actual comic-book story and trusted the audience to keep up. Marvel's 2025 trio felt like three different "versions" of the brand, and Thunderbolts was the one that showed the most heart and restraint. Sinners is a great example of why original stories can still feel like a must-watch cultural moment. 2025 was stacked for TV, and the list of standouts is honestly longer than most years' movie lists. Andor remains the gold standard for prestige franchise storytelling, and the release strategy helped it stick. 2026 looks like it could swing back to a movie-forward year with multiple "event" releases on the calendar. They want the show to feel more personal in 2026, including more natural social posts and more listener involvement. Quotes "Talking about you, some of our favorite movies and shows from 2025 and what we're hyped for in 2026." "Yeah it was I needed that movie this year. Like I needed it." "They gave a director a chance to tell their story." "Right now, welcome to dairy. Holy cow. These last couple episodes have been so damn fire." "It makes me cry that it's the finale." "You don't necessarily need to make a polished post." "It's for people, not just, you know, for box office numbers."

    In this Ideas Lab episode, Kevin Coldiron speaks with venture capitalist and former founder Aubrie Pagano about what stands between today's AI hype and a truly transformative AGI economy. Rather than treating AI as destiny, Aubrie maps the frictions that hold it back: hard power limits, fragile industrial data, and agents that still cannot coordinate with humans or each other. She explains why we may be a full capital cycle or two away from real AGI and why that delay is precisely where the best opportunities lie. The conversation then widens into the “Aquarius Economy,” a possible future in which human agency, not algorithms, becomes the scarcest and most valuable asset.-----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 Aubrie on LinkedIn.Episode TimeStamps: 00:00 - Why agent coordination is still clunky and unreliable00:38 - Intro to Top Traders Unplugged and performance risk framing01:34 - Kevin sets up the Ideas Lab and today's focus on AGI02:59 - Aubrie's background as founder, researcher and VC shaping her lens06:04 - Why she wrote about AGI and the Aquarius Economy07:21 - AGI as the last cycle built on labor scarcity10:41 - The blockers framework and why AGI may be a cycle or two away12:58 - Blocker...

    Elliot Holland joins us to explore the realities of building and sustaining a high-quality, trust-driven professional business in an era dominated by AI hype, declining marketing efficiency, and algorithmic noise. We discuss skepticism around AI's real-world impact especially in high-stakes financial decisions. We also talk marketing and content strategy, why sensationalism and clickbait may win algorithms but will always repel discerning clients. We also unpack our frustrations with modern marketing platforms like Google, Facebook, and HubSpot as they grow increasingly expensive and benefit from opacity while delivering lower-quality data. The most important thing is authentic conversations, patience, and thoughtful content aimed at a small, qualified audience that can outperform viral reach.  We discuss...  Sustaining a professional services business increasingly depends on trust, judgment, and human relationships rather than scale, speed, or technological hype. There's septicism that AI will meaningfully disrupt high-stakes, people-to-people work, arguing it is largely rebranded machine learning with limited real-world adoption so far. Discerning clients value nuance, experience, and improvisational thinking that cannot be captured in static data sets or automated workflows. AI is a productivity aid for summaries and surface-level tasks, but not a substitute for deep expertise, critical thinking, or accountability. YouTube and podcasts are trust-building tools rather than growth hacks, with success measured by client conversion quality instead of view counts. Algorithms reward "nonsense about nonsense," making platforms misaligned with professionals selling high-trust, high-ticket services. Marketing metrics such as views, impressions, and engagement were described as misleading compared to tracking clicks, conversations, and actual revenue outcomes. Google, Facebook, and HubSpot are operating as "confuse-opolies," benefiting from complexity, opacity, and user lock-in rather than clear results. The rising difficulty of marketing has forced business owners to either deeply understand marketing themselves or risk wasting capital on underqualified vendors. Elliott explained restructuring his marketing around specialized vendors, strict performance accountability, and personal ownership of customer persona definition. Long-form, unscripted conversations often deliver more value than polished, optimized content designed for algorithms. Future marketing success will favor authenticity, clarity, and long-term relationship-building over funnels, gimmicks, and viral reach.   Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneytreepodcast Follow LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/money-tree-investing-podcast Follow on Twitter/X: https://x.com/MTIPodcast For more information, visit the show notes at https://moneytreepodcast.com/ai-hype-and-clickbait-are-failing-elliott-holland

    Send us a textWhat happens when a staged arrest outperforms months of honest work? We tell the story, then pull back the curtain on why shock travels faster than truth and how the algorithm quietly trains us to serve its appetite for outrage, surprise, and escalation.From the first ring of viral attention to the uneasy questions that followed, we trace how content culture moved from follower counts and funnels to a system where plausibility can outrun proof. Deepfakes and synthetic media raise the stakes, but the real battle sits closer to home: the moment you ask whether to post for impact or stand for integrity. We share the exact questions we use with our team—trend or truth, help or harm, proof or performance—and how those checks reshape creative choices without killing momentum.You'll hear practical ways to step off the treadmill without losing your voice: take intentional offline breaks to reset your judgment, define the identity you want your work to project, and design formats that travel well without baiting the worst impulses of the feed. We dig into why lies multiply, how trust compounds, and what it looks like to build for endurance rather than the next spike.

    AdTechGod and Anthony Katsur discuss the evolving landscape of the advertising industry, particularly focusing on the concept of Agentic AI. They explore the current hype surrounding Agentic AI, its potential impact on digital media buying and selling, and the challenges related to privacy and measurement. The discussion also touches on the future of ad operations, the implications of AI browsers, and the strategic planning necessary for navigating these changes. Katsur emphasizes the need for foundational work in the industry while acknowledging the innovative potential of Agentic AI. Takeaways The advertising industry is experiencing unprecedented changes, particularly with the rise of Agentic AI. Agentic AI has the potential to introduce efficiencies in digital media trading, but it's still in early stages. There's significant hype around Agentic AI, but tangible results are yet to be seen. Privacy challenges remain a critical concern as AI technologies evolve. The future of ad operations will likely see a slowdown in hiring due to the automation capabilities of AI. AI browsers may change how content is presented and consumed online. Strategic planning is essential for navigating the evolving landscape of advertising technology. The industry must focus on foundational issues like supply chain transparency and measurement challenges. Agentic AI may not replace existing protocols, but can enhance them. The future of AI in advertising will involve a mix of successes and failures as the technology matures.

    It's New Year's Eve-Eve, and instead of recording from our usual virtual setups, we did something we've talked about for years: we hit record in the same room. If you're watching on YouTube, you can actually see us together. If you're listening on audio, you'll just have to trust us—this one was in-person. In this special episode of Building Better Developers (our Building Better Foundations season), we keep it simple: a Year-End Reflection for Developers. What are we ready to leave behind from this year? What do we want to carry into the next one? And what's the reality behind the loudest tech conversations? A Year-End Reflection for Developers isn't about perfection. It's about clarity—keeping what worked, dropping what didn't, and starting the next year lighter. Year-End Reflection for Developers: What We're Ready to Leave Behind We opened the discussion with a question you can ask your team, your friends, or yourself: What are you ready to see go away? For Rob, it was the endless, extreme framing around AI. Not AI itself—he uses it and enjoys it—but the constant "AI will save everything" or "AI will destroy everything" energy that dominated so many conversations this year. The truth is, we're still going to talk about AI next year. The goal is to move the conversation toward reality: what it can do well, what it can't, and how to use it responsibly without acting like it's magic—or doom. Year-End Reflection for Developers on AI Hype vs Reality A big part of this Year-End Reflection for Developers was dialing down the panic and dialing up practical thinking. AI tools can absolutely help developers move faster. They can help summarize, brainstorm, refactor, and even unblock you when you're stuck. But the hype has pushed people into extremes, and extremes aren't useful when you're shipping software. If you used AI this year, you already know the real story: sometimes it's brilliant, and sometimes it confidently hands you nonsense. Use AI like a tool, not a truth machine. A Year-End Reflection for Developers should include one rule: verify before you trust. Year-End Reflection for Developers on "AI Caused the Layoffs" Michael took the AI conversation in a different direction: big businesses blaming AI for layoffs. Yes, AI will impact jobs over time. But what we're seeing right now often looks more like companies correcting after the COVID-era "no hire / no fire" period. In other words, the bottom line is driving decisions, and AI is becoming a convenient headline. If you're cutting roles for financial reasons, just say that. Don't hide behind buzzwords. That honesty matters—not just for employees, but for the industry. Developers don't benefit from fear-based narratives. We benefit from transparency and real strategy. Year-End Reflection for Developers: Studio Audience Takeaways Because we had an in-room setup, we passed the mic to a few of our "studio audience" members. Ian shared the positive side of his year: getting hands-on experience in Agile and learning what it's like to build alongside a team of developers on a large project. It had hangups, and it ran longer than expected—but that's real work, and real growth. Wesley echoed the burnout around AI buzzwords and made a strong point: when we say "AI," we need to be specific. A lot of what people mean right now is "large language models," and lumping everything under "AI" only adds confusion. He also called out how hype can warp markets—like hardware prices skyrocketing when everyone jumps on the trend. Year-End Reflection for Developers: Less Fear, More People Natalie brought the most human answer of the night: she wants less fear. Less fear, less uncertainty, less constant tension—and more remembering that we're all in this together. That hit home, because a Year-End Reflection for Developers isn't just about tech. It's about how we work, how we treat each other, and how we show up next year. Year-End Reflection for Developers: What's Next We closed with a simple message: go enjoy the next few days. Get out. Socialize. Be kind. Let go of the fear and anger where you can. We'll see you in 2026.

    What separates people who build lasting wealth from people who just chase the next hot investment? David Greene from BiggerPockets has a clear answer, and it's not what most people want to hear. Joe Saul-Sehy and OG revisit a standout 2023 conversation with David that still resonates today. His story isn't about shortcuts, hacks, or getting lucky. It's about skill building, discipline, and learning to turn everyday work into long-term opportunity. From scooping ice cream at Baskin Robbins to building a successful real estate career, David breaks down what actually creates momentum over time and why "passive income" still requires serious intention. This episode showcases the kind of conversation that belongs in the vault. David explains what makes work feel worth it, how to develop skills that compound, and why the unsexy fundamentals matter more than the flashy strategies everyone's talking about. If you're tired of hype and ready for substance, this interview delivers. The show also tackles two critical protection topics. Adam Barowy from UL's Fire Safety Research Institute joins to explain the real (and often overlooked) risks of lithium-ion batteries in e-bikes, scooters, and everyday devices. He shares practical steps every family can take to reduce fire risk without panic or overreaction. Then Joe and OG field a listener question about keeping family property in the family. The discussion explores estate planning tradeoffs, communication challenges, and how to think through shared ownership without creating future conflict. Every segment connects to the same core idea. Building a life that's not only financially strong but resilient, safe, and meaningful. What You'll Walk Away With: • David Greene's framework for building wealth through skill mastery, not investment shortcuts • Why "passive income" is never truly passive and what actually makes work sustainable long term • Practical fire safety guidance for lithium-ion batteries you probably already own in your home • Simple steps to reduce household fire risk based on real research, not fearmongering • Thoughtful estate planning insights for preserving family property across generations • How to think about money not just as growth but as protection and stewardship This Episode Is For You If: • You're tired of wealth-building advice that sounds too good to be true • You want to hear how someone actually built success through discipline and skill development • You've got lithium-ion batteries around the house and never thought twice about fire safety • You're thinking about how to pass property or wealth to the next generation without creating conflict • You believe the smartest money moves involve both growing and protecting what you have Before You Hit Play, Think About This: What's one area of your financial life where you're focused on growth but might need more protection or structure? Share your thoughts in the Spotify comments or bring the discussion into the Basement Facebook group because this episode tends to spark great follow-up conversations. Sometimes the smartest money move isn't about earning more. It's about keeping what you've built safe and aligned with what matters most. Learn more about your ad choices.

    PT 645 - Oli Genn-Bash: Functional Mushrooms, Hype Cycles, and Mycelial Thinking

    Oli Genn-Bash (Brighton, UK) joins Joe Moore for a grounded conversation on the boom in functional mushrooms and why the category may be moving too quickly. As the founder of The Fungi Consultant, Oli works with consumers and brands to demystify functional mushrooms, with a focus on education, traceability, and realistic expectations. The conversation begins with a critique of wellness hype cycles. Oli explains how consumer desperation for help with anxiety, sleep, stress, and cognition can create an opening for a rapid wave of products that are not always grounded in careful sourcing or clear science. Using lion's mane as a case study, he contrasts popular cognitive claims with traditional use, arguing that the most useful path forward is to slow down, get more literate about mechanisms, and build a market that can sustain trust over time. Systems and Culture Oli describes how individual health is inseparable from community realities, including food access, class dynamics, and what wellness advice can sound like when it lands from a place of privilege. They discuss mycelial thinking as a practical framework for collaboration and resource-sharing, and why mushrooms tend to attract unusually generous "teach everyone" communities. They also explore the role of mushrooms in meaning-making and consciousness. Oli shares personal reflections on mushrooms as allies, the felt sense of "agency" in psychedelic experiences, and how those experiences can encourage behavioral change without forcing it. The conversation touches on alcohol culture in the UK and the possibility of non-alcoholic alternatives, including how functional mushrooms, microdosing, and other botanicals can support social confidence and energy for some people. Finally, they look ahead at fungal innovation beyond supplements: materials, soil health, regenerative approaches, bioremediation, and what the broader psychedelic movement might learn from fungi's patience, symbiosis, and balance. Key themes and takeaways 1) Why functional mushrooms feel "too fast" right now Oli argues that functional mushrooms have accelerated into a high-pressure wellness marketplace, with brands rushing products to market and consumers struggling to determine what is legitimate, traceable, and effective. He draws parallels to the UK CBD market, describing how oversaturation and inconsistent quality can erode trust and collapse prices. 2) Lion's mane, tradition, and mechanism Lion's mane is a useful example of how modern marketing can outrun nuance. Oli notes the gap between popular cognitive claims and traditional use, and points toward the gut-brain axis as one plausible bridge that requires more careful explanation and patience. 3) "Functional mushrooms" as a frame Oli prefers the term functional mushrooms over medicinal mushrooms, emphasizing systems-level support rather than a pharmaceutical model. He describes a view of health that starts on the cellular level and asks what supports function, resilience, and prevention. 4) Health is individual and collective Oli speaks candidly about barriers to wellness in the UK, including food poverty, access to education about cooking, and how class dynamics shape what health messaging sounds like. The broader point is structural: it is difficult to talk about supplements without considering the baseline conditions of daily life. 5) Mycelial thinking, futures work, and collaboration The conversation highlights "mycelial thinking" as more than a metaphor. Oli describes collaborations in futures-oriented communities and how fungal logic can inform collaboration, non-zero-sum outcomes, and resource sharing. 6) Mushroom culture and the instinct to share Joe notes how strikingly generous mushroom communities can be, especially around cultivation and identification. Oli agrees and adds a provocative angle: the possibility of "agency" in fungi and a sense that mushrooms invite humans into relationship, curiosity, and participation. 7) Alcohol culture and alternatives Oli reflects on nearly three years without alcohol and describes how functional mushrooms and other botanicals can support mood, energy, and social confidence for some people. They also discuss the realities of events culture, including the need for more inclusive non-alcoholic options and sensitivity to addiction histories. 8) The next 10 years of fungi They look at the expansion of fungi into materials, fashion, regenerative agriculture, soil health, and bioremediation. Oli emphasizes balance: fungal innovations are promising, but scaling and real-world constraints matter. 9) What the psychedelic movement can learn from fungi Oli critiques extractive, capital-driven dynamics in the psychedelic ecosystem and suggests fungi offer a different ethic: patience, humility, symbiosis, and realism about parasitism and imbalance.
