Pete Sacco has spent 30 years building the physical infrastructure — data centers, power systems, and hardware — that AI runs on. In this conversation, he argues the AI threat is overstated, not because it isn't transformative, but because it forces humans to reclaim what machines can't replicate: wisdom and discernment. Pete and Jeff dig into why founders need to embrace AI rather than fear it, the coming shift toward decentralized energy and compute, the misconceptions around data centers and water usage, how to separate real AI investment opportunities from hype, and his vision of a post-scarcity world where energy and labor approach zero cost.Key Takeaways2:19 — The one skill AI can't replicate: humans are "beings of discernment and wisdom," not calculators — that's the edge to protect.8:00 — Why the calculator analogy holds: AI won't erode critical thinking any more than calculators erased our ability to do math, if we use it consciously.12:48 — On creativity: Pete pushes back on the idea that AI kills creativity — "I'm 100 times more creative" because of the tool, not despite it.15:56 — AI as mirror: it will serve as "a mirror that's going to allow us to improve ourselves more fundamentally than ever before in human history."31:02 — The real bottleneck behind failed AI initiatives (per MIT): not the technology — organizational inefficiency.34:36 — On retooling teams: the four levels every employee needs — using chat, using skills, using agentic AI, and managing machines alongside people.36:05 — The post-scarcity vision: inside 50 years, the base cost of products and services could be "driven to zero" as energy and labor become virtually free.26:02 — Data center water myth debunked: total data center water use is a fraction (1/2000th) of what's used growing alfalfa for cattle feed in the U.S.30:19 — Pete's franchise model: Graywolf Data Centers — building small, tokenized, decentralized 2–20 megawatt data centers instead of massive centralized ones.43:55 — What most founders should be asking: are you embracing decentralization and retooling your people, or clinging to old, centralized ways of working?44:56 — The autonomous-vehicle prediction: "five, maybe eight years away from never driving cars again."Tweetable Quotes"We are beings of discernment and wisdom, embodied in consciousness itself." — Pete Sacco"AI will be the technology that serves as a mirror that's going to allow us to improve ourselves more fundamentally than ever before in human history." — Pete Sacco"We don't connect with data, we connect with people." — Pete Sacco"If you're a shitty data center owner, you're gonna be a shitty cloud owner too." — Pete Sacco"AI is going to out-compute you at almost everything... but what it can't do is know what's actually worth doing. That is called wisdom." — Jeff Mains"The doomers are 0 for 500 years. What makes us think that this is the year that they're right?" — Pete SaccoSaaS Leadership LessonsProtect discernment, not just headcount. As AI absorbs computation and pattern recognition, the scarce resource inside your company becomes judgment — hire and train for it.Diagnose failure correctly. Most "failed AI initiatives" aren't tech failures — they're organizational ones. Fix workflows and structure before blaming the tools.Retool your people in layers. Move teams through the four stages: basic chat use, skills, agentic workflows, and eventually managing hybrid human/machine teams.Decentralize before you're forced to. Whether it's compute, energy, or ownership, the founders who build flexible, distributed infrastructure now will out-adapt centralized competitors later.Invest (and lead) on conviction, not just data. Pete's biggest bets came from gut instinct paired with a disciplined thesis (AI infrastructure, decentralization, longevity) — not spreadsheets alone.Sell people on the outcome, not just the tool. Adoption stalls when leaders push AI as a mandate; it accelerates when they frame it as freedom — more time, more creative capacity, less drudgery.Guest Resourcespete@petesacco.comhttps://www.petesacco.com/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61573911350074https://www.linkedin.com/in/petertsacco/https://www.instagram.com/petesaccoofficial/https://x.com/PeteSaccoCEOEpisode SponsorThe Futureproof Series - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkXKUPZ5xuOqMPR7_gzGybncTtavyR1NThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group – https://championleadership.com/https://jeffmains.com/books/SaaS Fuel ResourcesWebsite - https://championleadership.com/Jeff Mains on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkmains/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jeffkmainsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesaasguy/Instagram - https://instagram.com/jeffkmains

This week's earnings season delivered a clear message — the AI infrastructure buildout is not a zero-sum game, and the capital being deployed is staggering.

This episode breaks down the immediate market reactions to Kevin Warsh's hawkish Jackson Hole speech regarding persistent inflation. With economic data remaining elevated and geopolitical tensions causing unexpected oil spikes, the likelihood of rate cuts continues to fluctuate, creating unique challenges for both commercial and residential lending environments.The discussion also explores the approaching "silver tsunami" in the US housing market, examining how the demographic shift of baby boomers selling their homes will impact supply and pricing over the next decade. Finally, the episode outlines three critical benchmarks to measure true financial health and shares a highly effective, unconventional relationship-building strategy previously utilized by Bill Clinton.KEY TOPICS DISCUSSEDKevin Warsh's hawkish inflation warning at the Jackson Hole summitS&P 500 earnings growth and ongoing corporate profitabilityGeopolitical conflicts and their direct impact on global oil pricesFederal Reserve interest rate policy and shifting rate cut probabilitiesThe demographic silver tsunami preparing to hit the US housing marketMedian household net worth benchmarks broken down by age groupThe significant financial advantage of maintaining zero credit card debtBill Clinton's "one at a time" networking and relationship-building secretKEY TAKEAWAYSDespite elevated interest rates, corporate earnings in the S&P 500 continue to rise, showing underlying resilience in the broader stock market.The cost of capital remains the primary headwind for real estate, making both commercial and residential lending exceptionally difficult for institutions to navigate profitably.As baby boomers age out of homeownership, the housing market will see an influx of supply that younger, smaller demographic generations may struggle to financially absorb.Actively investing in the stock market puts you ahead of 38% of Americans, emphasizing the long-term importance of consistent financial participation.Carrying zero credit card debt is one of the most accurate indicators of long-term financial stability and wealth-building potential.CONNECT & TAKE ACTIONVisit skylineocresidences.com to discover luxury homeownership and exceptional value at Skyline OC.Invest in the Imagos Income Fund for steady passive returns targeting 10%.

Live from ILTACON | Sponsored by Steno AI is everywhere in legal. But the biggest change over the last year isn't simply better answers from AI. It's the ability to begin automating the work itself. Live from ILTACON, David Cowen sits down with Chris Emerson, Chief Legal Operations & Innovation Officer, to explore what AI is actually changing inside legal teams, what still hasn't changed, and where the biggest opportunities are emerging. From the growing war for Legal AI talent to turning knowledge trapped inside lawyers' heads into AI-ready workflows, Chris offers a practical look at where legal is heading next, including how his team built an AI-assisted pre-bill review capability in just 33 days. In this episode: Why AI is moving from assistance to actual workflow automation Why adoption remains one of legal's biggest challenges The four traits tomorrow's legal talent needs: curiosity, adaptability, resourcefulness and grit Why leaders should be investing in their top 20% Why the next AI opportunity is getting knowledge out of people's heads and into workflows How AI is shrinking development cycles from months to weeks What leaders should never delegate to AI: strategy, direction and guardrails Chapters 00:10 | AI Everywhere: What Changed in the Last 12 Months? 01:40 | Why Legal's Adoption Problem Hasn't Changed 02:59 | What Leaders Should Look for in Legal AI Talent 04:05 | Curiosity, Resourcefulness, Adaptability & Grit 05:28 | Why Leaders Need to Invest in Their Top 20% 08:30 | Grit, Failure & Why Lawyers Need Rapid Prototypes 10:36 | What Legal AI Still Needs in 2027 12:07 | Where AI Will Create the Next Career Opportunities 13:13 | Turning Legal Knowledge Into AI Playbooks 14:00 | Building AI-Assisted Pre-Bill Review in 33 Days 14:56 | Building an Internal AI Platform Around Firm Data 15:37 | What Should Humans Keep as AI Automates the Work?

Important Quotes from the podcast on Business and Entrepreneurship   There is no skill called “business.” Avoid business magazines and business classes. - Naval Ravikant   You have to work up to the point where you can own equity in a business. You could own equity as a small shareholder where you bought stock. You could also own it as an owner where you started the company. Ownership is really important.     Everybody who really makes money at some point owns a piece of a product, a business, or some IP. That can be through stock options if you work at a tech company. That's a fine way to start.

This week on Financial Planning: Explained, host Michael Menninger, CFP®, welcomes back Nick DeVito, CFP®, for Part II of a Q&A series on life events, investments and general financial planning. In Part II, Mike and Nick turn their attention to investment planning, tackling some of the most common questions investors face: When is a good time to invest? Should you invest in stocks or bonds? And how much risk should you actually take in your portfolio? The guys discuss why successful investing is about more than simply trying to predict what the market will do next. They explore how an investor's goals, time horizon, risk tolerance and overall financial plan should influence investment decisions—and why there isn't necessarily one right answer for everyone. From deciding when to put money into the market to determining the appropriate balance between stocks and bonds, this conversation highlights the importance of having an investment strategy that fits within your broader financial plan. Listeners will gain valuable insight into: When it may be a good time to invest Why trying to perfectly time the market can be challenging How to think about investing during periods of market uncertainty The differences between stocks and bonds How stocks and bonds can play different roles in a portfolio How to determine an appropriate level of investment risk Why risk tolerance matters when building an investment portfolio How your time horizon can influence your investment strategy The relationship between investment risk and potential returns Why your investment strategy should reflect your financial goals How diversification can help manage portfolio risk Why investment decisions should be coordinated with your overall financial plan Common questions investors should consider before making changes to their portfolio The importance of avoiding emotional investment decisions How working through different scenarios can lead to better financial decisions Investing can raise some difficult questions, especially when markets are volatile or financial goals change. Knowing when to invest, how much to invest, what investments to choose, and how much risk to take can have a significant impact on your long-term financial strategy. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all investment advice, Mike and Nick use a real-world financial planning perspective to explore the questions that should be considered before making major investment decisions. The goal isn't to predict the next market move—it's to understand how an investment strategy fits into the bigger financial picture. Whether you're just getting started with investing, deciding between stocks and bonds, reviewing your retirement portfolio, or wondering whether your current level of risk is appropriate, this episode offers practical insights and real-world considerations to help you make more informed investment decisions.

In collaboration with The Small Business School Podcast, I'm joined by my friend, podcast host, fellow entrepreneur and business owner Staci Millard for a deep dive into business growth, meaningful relationships and what it really means to invest in the right rooms. We talk about how some of the most valuable opportunities in entrepreneurship come from connection, collaboration and being willing to show up ready to learn.We also get into the realities of making bold business decisions, listening to your intuition, evolving your brand and knowing when to stay focused on what you do best.Tune in to hear more about:• Why the relationships you build in the room can become more valuable than the event itself.• How to think about ROI when investing in masterminds, events and business communities.• Why taking action after receiving advice is your responsibility as an entrepreneur.• How we've learned to hold the vision through pricing changes, pivots and uncomfortable business decisions.• Why listening to your customers, reviewing the right data and focusing on what you do best can help you build a stronger brand.Not every opportunity has to produce an immediate sale to be valuable. Sometimes the real return is a relationship, a new perspective, an introduction or the confidence to make a move you've been avoiding.

You haven't started yet. Or you started, and it's just not working. And somewhere along the way, "figuring it out" turned into doing a hundred random things and hoping one of them finally sticks. In this episode, I'm asking the hard question: is it possible your business has quietly become the thing you're serving, instead of the God who gave you the idea in the first place? I'm walking through five signs you've made your business an idol without even realizing it. Doing a hundred random things. Googling instead of asking God. Following the world's formula.

Keith explores how real estate strategies have shifted from the 1980s to today and explains why investors need to adapt deal structures to changing interest rates, lending conditions, and market cycles.  He highlights current opportunities in new construction and builder rate buydowns, along with the long-term benefits of fixed-rate debt.  Keith is joined by economic futurist and author Richard Vague, who challenges conventional beliefs about inflation and interest rates and explains how government intervention, war, and supply constraints shape asset prices and leverage decisions. Together, they provide a big-picture framework for understanding how today's macro environment affects real estate investing decisions.

This is Get Rich Education.   Keith Weinhold  1:51   Welcome to GRE from Cambridge, England, to Cambridge, Massachusetts, and across 188 world nations. I'm Keith Weinhold. You're inside Get Rich Education. You could be doing anything with your time. I'm grateful that you choose to listen to me every week. You know, real estate investors sometimes say, "Ah, there aren't any deals anymore. What they usually mean is the deal structure that they learned five years ago stopped working. There are always opportunities in real estate, but your approach changes with interest rates, lending standards, inventory, construction, government policy, and just the overall economic cycle. The best investors don't wait for yesterday's market to return. That's like someone still hoping for Blockbuster Video Store to reopen. They identify what today's market is offering instead. Just consider this historic retrospective on real estate investing from the Reagan administration to today, in 1981, the 30-year mortgage rate peaked above 18.6%. I mean, just imagine proudly telling your friends that you locked in at 17% before rates went higher. That mortgage needed its own defibrillator. By 1984, rates were still near 16%. The strategy then, the approach, was for a buyer to assume the existing owner's lower rate mortgage that they locked in a few years earlier, perhaps in the late 70s, that's how you got a good deal, assuming that existing owners lower-rate mortgage. You can't do that so easily today.   Keith Weinhold  3:50   By the late 80s and early 90s, the opportunity shifted from assuming attractive debt to buying distressed properties. The S and L crisis was upon us. Savings and loan failed lenders found themselves holding piles of distressed real estate, so investors bought foreclosures and REOs at discounts. They improved neglected buildings and then they repositioned them for income. You probably know that REO stands for real estate owned on a bank's balance sheet. All REO means is bank-owned property, but that's what you did. You found those, and then you scooped up a deal that way. As the 1990s progressed, interest rates declined, and loans also became really easy to obtain. We were tilting into the loosey-goosey easy lending environment. In the 90s, it was popular to buy an undervalued property, renovate it, raise the rent, and refinance it based on the improved value. That process later got a buzzy acronym and became known as the Burr strategy: buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat. By 2005, financing got more creative. This is when I was a new real estate investor. I remember obtaining what were known as 8015 five combo loans. This meant an 80% first mortgage, 15% second mortgage, and 5% down payment. You remember those? If you've been around for a while, you do. And see, this way you could avoid paying PMI, and you could control property with an astounding 20 to one leverage ratio due to that 5% down payment, but soon enough lending just got absolutely too creative and easy. The quiet lending party turned into a boisterous kegger, delivering the 2008 financial. crisis, and pretty soon I could no longer get any loans. From 2009 through the early 2010s, you could buy foreclosures and short sales at enormous discounts if you could find the loan.   Keith Weinhold  6:20   Financing was tough, but prices were super low. It might have even made sense to pay cash at that time. Fear was everywhere right after the global financial crisis. I mean, it really took courage to act when others were hiding under the bed. By 2020 and 2021, the opportunity changed from cheap property to cheap money. Mortgage rates dropped below an absurd 3% as a result of the COVID pandemic. You could lock up extraordinarily cheap debt for less than the inflation rate, and then let inflation nibble away at it like Pac-Man. Of course, a lot of us are still benefiting from that today, but that opportunity is long gone now. But it doesn't mean that deals are gone today. Where's the opportunity? One of the best ones is often found in new construction, large build. have got to keep moving their inventory as they build these homes because they have got to keep their crews busy. An unsold house for a builder-I mean-that produces as much income as an unplugged Bitcoin miner. Rather than make conspicuous price reductions, builders use their financial muscle to buy down mortgage rates for you, often in the 5% range or even lower.   Keith Weinhold  7:52   Builders might also offer you closing cost assistance, upgraded finishes, or other incentives that a single resale seller just can't match. So from the Reagan administration to today, over 45 years, the winning strategy just keeps morphing. It started out back then as assume the loan, over to buy distress, then to renovate and refi, then it was a creative financing wave, and then cheap debt, and today take the builders buy down. That's where we are. The mistake is deciding in advance what a deal is supposed to look like. The best deal structure changes, and of course, it's going to change again. The investor who keeps fighting the last war is always going to conclude that the opportunity has disappeared, but it hasn't. It's just changed clothing. Still, though, today's new purchases now-they're not as good as the deals that they were five years ago, but the best investors keep investing. They keep adding to their portfolio. It's what they've always done. Absolutely zero winning investors that are successful over time look back and say things like, "I didn't add anything to my portfolio during that 10-year span for this or that reason, the market changes, and you've got to adapt with it. That's a way to think about it. Take solace in knowing a few things. Deal structure changes over time are inevitable. And larger picture, you are investing in a product that is sustainable residential real estate in the form of long-term rentals. These entry-level properties are a scarce asset that people are going to continue to need. I mean, that's what we do here. Just compare. To the fads that we avoid around here, like NFTs, metaverse real estate, which we discussed on the show a few years ago, but said is highly dangerous, eye buying, value add apartment syndications, SPACs, or how about ICO funded altcoins? We don't chase the latest hot thing here at GRE. It is about what's sustainable, necessary, and cannot be easily disrupted by AI, and that's one reason that Get Rich Education is still standing strong after 52 episodes every year for almost 12 years now. Shortly, we're going to bring in a rather esteemed guest today on the future direction of interest rates and inflation. Interestingly, he believes that raising interest rates does not cool inflation, and that's contrary to popular belief. I'm going to press him on this and ask why, but first, our new Fed chair, Kevin Warsh. He's only been on the job a few months now.   Keith Weinhold  11:07   He is gaining a reputation for not forecasting what they're going to do ahead of time, like his predecessor had. I guess I tend to like his disposition and the way that he communicates, I sense some pragmatism with Warsh, but gosh, it often seems that a new Fed chair gets off to a well liked start, and then they do something that lots of people criticize. Like, remember in 2004, late Fed Chair Alan Greenspan suggested more borrowers could benefit from adjustable rate mortgages shortly before rates rose and ARM resets became financial landmines. In 2007, Ben Bernanke said that subprime mortgage problems were likely to be contained. Oh, right after that, they helped trigger the global financial crisis, and more recently, the Jerome Powell gaffe, which I'll mention in the interview shortly. Here's what current Fed Chair Warsh says about inflation:   Kevin Warsh  12:14   For some households, businesses, and market professionals, five years of high inflation have left a mistaken impression, that's hard to shake, that the Fed's implicit inflation target was somehow above 2% Let me reiterate, there is no soft inflation target. There is no soft implicit target, not on this committee's watch. There's only a target, and it's 2%   Keith Weinhold  12:42   It's obvious that he is serious about getting inflation back down to 2% That tends to point toward interest rate increases. Let's discuss that and more with this week's brilliant guest. This week's guest is an economic futurist keynote speaker, and he's quite a popular author. He is chair of the board of the Public School Employees Retirement System. That's the largest public pension fund in Pennsylvania. Previously, the Pennsylvania governor appointed him as the secretary of banking and securities for the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, he's also the founder and president of several various organizations today, and he serves on several boards, including at the University of Pennsylvania and the School District of Philadelphia. I mean, I hardly know how he has time to do it all, but he made time for us today. Hey, it's great to welcome back Richard Vague.   Richard Vague  13:45   It's such an honor to be with you. I certainly enjoyed our last session, and it's really wonderful to be back.   Keith Weinhold  13:51   Well, and so much has changed since you were last here, Richard. First, why don't we pull back and talk to us about the general state of the national economy today, as you see it.   Richard Vague  14:04   ou know the economy was rocking along okay, and you know since you guys are such experts in real estate, I'll tell you one of the most important statistics, in my opinion, is the number of unsold homes, and by all rights, that number should be about 2 million homes. It's only about a million and a half. So there's a deficiency in our housing stock in the United States, which is, yeah, I think good news for the housing industry. It's always good to have a reason to have to grow. You may recall that in 2007, that had gotten up to four millinomes, which was a catastrophe, as we all know. So, it's the economic statistic I looked at first and most closely, and that was, you know, an okay number, and a lot of the things were going along. You know, not fabulous, but not terrible. Things were kind of moving. And all of a sudden now we have the war in Iran, and that's creating all sorts of problems for us, which you know I think you guys are concerned about. So I generally think the economy's been good, but there's a lot of dark clouds on the horizon.   Keith Weinhold  15:15   You know, Richard, I was recently sharing something remarkable with our audience. To your point, just since 2020, consider all the calamities that we've had: COVID, Ukraine, Israel, Gaza, tariffs, and the Iran War. Just since 2020, what's the result of all that? Both stocks and residential real estate are near all time highs.   Richard Vague  15:42   Yeah, well, you know, one of the things that's true is that this is something I go to in great detail in my book Paradox. But the more debt there is, the higher asset prices go.   Keith Weinhold  15:53   Yeah.   Richard Vague  15:54   You know, in the case of housing, that broadly helps middle America. In the case of the stock market, the top 10% of the country owns 87% of the stocks, so that tends to go to the wealthiest instead of to the broad population. But yeah, those two things are at highs.   Keith Weinhold  16:12   You're touching on your well-received 2023 book, The Paradox of Debt, and you know, Richard, amidst all these calamities and all this potentially unprecedented level of government intervention that we've had-you know-it makes one wonder during the next crisis, which is inevitably going to happen, will the government just step in and provide relief again? And how would that look?   Richard Vague  16:38   You know, I think that's one lesson that government has learned indelibly. Way back in 1929, in the couple of years that followed, the government did not step in, and we saw what happened. And I think there's a generation of economists that understand the role of government in a calamity, and you know it's pretty simple. You know the government comes in and crops up financial institutions as they did in 2008, simply by providing the liquidity or buying the bad assets, or the government steps in with relief checks as they did in such a massive way in 2020. But the government has learned that at least to some degree, it needs to intervene. I can't imagine that ever not being true.   Keith Weinhold  17:26   Goshmright when you think about 2020s stimulus and how emergency lending facilities were set up, you had the payment protection program, stimulus checks, mortgage loan forbearance. It's just like this government won't let the asset holders fail.   Richard Vague  17:46   Well, yeah, you know, there's failure, and then there's something that's hurtful but not quite failure. You know, I can imagine that the government will be able to prevent, in some circumstances, certain asset prices going down some amount, it's actually fairly commonplace for stocks to go down 10 or 20% I can see real estate prices going down as they have in the commercial office space. Yeah, but yes, the government will step in when those things become extreme to prevent a true calamity.   Keith Weinhold  18:19   Of course, one consequence of the interventionism is elevated inflation. I know how you've talked before about how the level of inflation is higher than most people think. For example, you'll see today's CPI numbers in the mid threes. Talk to us some more about why inflation is higher than most people think.   Richard Vague  18:41   Well, I have studied inflation, you know, fairly diligently, and inflation really relates to the constriction of supply. And if you look over the 250-year history of the United States, we haven't had that many episodes of bad inflation, and they've always related to a constriction of supply. Most of them have occurred during a war when, for obvious reasons, you know, supplies are constricted. The big 1970s episode of inflation was because OPEC, which had so much more power back in those days, acted to you know punish the United States by constricting supplies, and the price of a barrel of oil went from $4 to $40 a barrel. Yeah, between 73 and 79. COVID was another instance where inflation related to constriction of supply. That was you know people couldn't go to the meat factory to cut meat. People couldn't go to the factories to build things, so all of a sudden our supplies were decimated, and we had a short burst of very painful inflation. Well, now we've got the straight of four moves, and that is impacting the price of oil. I think it's going to impact the price of oil more going forward because. Because we've been able to rely on reserves, both the U.S. has been able to rely on reserves, and China has been able to rely on even greater reserves. And you know we haven't seen the brunt of that, but unless something's resolved pretty quickly, I think in the fall and winter we're going to see even more problematic prices there. But we know agricultural prices and even the flow of commodities like wheat are constricted by the constraints in the Strait of Hormuz and, frankly, other waterways as well. Now, one of the things the numbers that you see reported tend to underreport inflation because it looks at a year-over-year number and doesn't really capture it if it's moved up more sharply in the last month or two. So we look at it on a month-by-month. We you know we break it down about as to as many parts as you can break it down into. But PPI, which is kind of a leading indicator on the eventual CPI PPI's producer price index, it was 4.7% this last month. That would suggest to you that things which are in the mid threes now, which is more higher than we want, you know, probably trending over. Maybe not next month, but you know, over the next three to six months, I'm not going to be surprised if the number's more in the four to five range. So, yeah, I think inflation's being somewhat underreported at the moment.    Keith Weinhold  21:29   The PPI being that harbinger of consumer prices, often four to six months down the road. And Richard, the last time you were here, when it comes to checking and controlling inflation, you said something so interesting. You said that higher rates, which is typically the response in order to try to quell inflation, higher rates actually do not lower inflation, and you did not get a chance to expand on that because we ran out of time. Tell us more about why higher rates do not reduce inflation.   Richard Vague  22:05   Well, I'm going to answer that a couple of ways. One of them is higher rates don't open the Strait of Hormuz.   Keith Weinhold  22:12   Right.   Richard Vague  22:13   You can put rates as high as you want, and it's not going to open the Strait of Hormuz.    Keith Weinhold  22:16   Chairman Warsch doesn't open the Strait. Yes, he doesn't get oil produce nothing.   Richard Vague  22:20   Strait of Hormuz.   Keith Weinhold  22:21   Yeah.   Richard Vague  22:21   And so we can do all we want to on raids, which is a very blunt instrument, and it's not going to address the supply constraints that are geopolitical and war related. So, if you want to curb inflation right now, there's two things to do. One of them's you know end the war with Iran, and the other is to kind of back off a lot of these tariffs that have become so problematic. I think there's a place for tariffs. I think there's certain things China's doing that you know a call for an appropriate level of tariffs. I'm not sure we should be big tariffs on Canada and some of these other places, which have the effect of increasing the cost of our farm equipment and cars and other things like that. So, if you really want to address inflation and address the things that truly underlie inflation, and if the second way I'd answer this is to say, go look at the debt, track the data from you know 1945 or 50. You know, we really look at the post World War II period as the place we really learn things from, and over that period, increased government spending has been accompanied by reduced interest rates and reduced inflation. So, reduced interest rates and reduced inflation have gone hand in hand, and rising interest rates and rising inflation have gone hand in hand, and it's a really easy thing to look at. We've got the data on our site, but there's only been three periods where you've had big shifts in government spending and rates. They're pretty easy to look at, and there's actually empirically an inverse relationship between rising interest rates and it's the opposite of what economists tell you.   Keith Weinhold  24:09   I think, in general, economists tell us that when inflation is high, you raise interest rates because consumer spending is about 70% of the economy, and those higher rates therefore incentivize people to be savers because they're getting paid a higher yield, keeping those dollars out of the economy, and they're less incentivized to be borrowers and expand the economy that way. I think in general that's why economists say that higher interest rates reduce inflation. Do you agree with that?   Speaker 2  24:40   Well, no, I don't, and the reason I don't is because when you look at the data, that doesn't happen. These are easy things to check, and what I would say to you is that rising interest rates increase costs, and you guys know that better than anybody in the world.   Keith Weinhold  24:56   With mortgages. Yeah.   Richard Vague  24:58   What do rising interest rates do to? Cost of your mortgage.   Keith Weinhold  25:02   Everything increased substantially.    Richard Vague  25:03   It has system prices at the grocery store. Well, the grocery stores have to pay our interest for their inventory. So the more intuitive and obvious thing is that rising interest rates increase prices. And by the way, if you and I were to go look at the data right now, which I look at almost daily, that we would see periods of rising interest rates correlate to periods of rising increased costs.   Keith Weinhold  25:29   Well, I'm glad you look at history because I often say here at Get Rich Education, if you want to know what's going to happen in the future, it's easy to have a hunch, but it's more important to look at history. Can you talk to us some more about how, over the long term, higher interest rates don't suppress inflation? If that's what you're saying,   Richard Vague  25:47   yeah. The greatest rise in inflation, you know, in my lifetime was the late 1970s.   Keith Weinhold  25:55   Yeah,   Richard Vague  25:56   and for the entire time that interest rates were going up, prices and inflation were going up, and it wasn't until interest rates started coming down that inflation started coming down. So we could look at any number of periods, and if you're going to argue the opposite, you need to go find me some data.   Keith Weinhold  26:15   Okay. Well, speaking in more modern times, in the last wave of inflation that we had, the CPI peaked at 9.1% in June of 2022. This is the whole famous Jerome Powell: inflation is only transitory. Oh shoot, no, it's not. I better hike rates. He did, and then inflation came down. Is it as simple as that cause in effect, or did something else make inflation come down post COVID.   Richard Vague  26:42   Inflation came down, and it came all the way down in July of 2022. It didn't come down gradually over six, 912, 18 months. You go look at the length monthly inflation. Inflation came all the way down in July of 2022, and stay has stayed down all the intervening period until very recently with the Iran War. July of 2022 was before there was a dramatic increase in interest rates.   Keith Weinhold  27:18   Right,   Speaker 1  27:19   that's simple.   Keith Weinhold  27:21   What caused inflation to come down? Then is it because supply began to arrive on the market again?   Richard Vague  27:27   People went back to work, started building things again.   Keith Weinhold  27:30   Producing.   Richard Vague  27:32   And the problem was folks had not been able to go to the factories and make things, and so we had a you know global supply deficit. Well, the nice thing about that is that you know money incends people to scramble back to work, make things again, and you know once they start doing that, and the Fed actually produces something they call the Global Supply Chain Pressure Index. You can get it on the Fed site. If you look at it, it's supposed to be kind of at zero, and anytime supply chains are disrupted, it shoots up. And any you know, any time the opposite happens, you know there's overcapacity. It goes down, and you can see exactly when supply chains repair is happening. So go look at the. It's called the GSCPI. It's on the Fed side. You'll see that global supply chains had largely started to be dramatically repaired in the spring and summer of 2022, and naturally, supply and demand works. All of a sudden, supply starts showing up, and prices go to hell.   Keith Weinhold  28:39   We're talking with economic futurist author and Pennsylvania's governor-appointed former secretary of banking and securities Richard Vague, more when we come back on the affliction of inflation, what this means for real estate investors, and more. This is Get Rich Education. I'm your host Keith Weinhold. What if you got your mortgage loans the same place I get mine. You sure can at Ridge Lending Group NMLS 42056.

A lot of accredited investors leave capital sitting in cash because it feels safe, but inflation and missed income opportunities can quietly erode its value. Freedom Family Investments offers freedom notes for investors seeking structured income backed by real estate. It's a straightforward approach built on real assets, not speculation.

Listen to Get Rich Education with Keith Weinhold and don't quit your daydream.   Keith Weinhold  30:45   Welcome back to Get Rich Education. We're talking with Richard Vague. Richard is the founder and president of so many organizations today. He's the author of several popular economic books. He chairs the board of the Public School employees retirement system. That's the largest public pension fund in Pennsylvania. He's in a lot of places at once, seemingly. Richard, we're talking about inflation before the break. What is the right inflation rate?   Richard Vague  31:16   Well, like I said, inflation. If you look at the entire 250-year span of the United States has it been an affliction that has affected us that often? It is political kryptonite. So when it does happen, it steers our consciousness, and it you know certainly affects your industry. But you know, if we look historically, the Fed targets 2% It's not a bad thing to target. We never really have achieved that level for any length of period. I think if you look at it over the past several decades and take out the high inflation periods, it probably has averaged closer to three. So I don't think two to 3% is an inappropriate level, and I kind of suspect it'll be a level that typifies our future once we get past, if and when we get past this more.   Keith Weinhold  32:09   Yes, not long ago, I was looking at the history of the CPI or the CPI's equivalent, and over the last 100 years, the rate is about 3.2% and we haven't hit that government-mandated 2% target, which is stated right on the Fed's website. We haven't hit that for any month in about five years now, and this asset inflation, as we know, this disproportionately enriches existing asset owners, and it widens this inequality. Something that's more recently been known as the K-shaped economy, can you talk to us some more about this exacerbating wealth inequality?   Richard Vague  32:48   Well, you hit the nail on the head. Something on the order of 80% of all the net wealth held by Americans is in the form of two things: stock and real estate. If you want to talk about wealth, it's those two things, and those two things, probably 60 or 70% of all of those in the U.S. are held by the top 10% I think it's a single-digit number of those that are held by the bottom 50% So you know, if inflation and debt growth push asset prices up over time. It is a mathematical inevitability that the rich get richer faster than those in the middle and at the bottom, and that simply means inequality will increase through time. I believe that's structural. Unless you address that in very some very specific way it will continue.   Keith Weinhold  33:43   Inflation affects real estate investors more than it does the average person because we borrow these big pools of money often at 75 to 80% loan to value, and in a sense, although we know it's bad for general society, and we do think about the K-shaped economy. Of course, inflation benefits us because it debases our debt. But even if you're not a real estate investor, even if you just own your own home, you know, Richard, I really think it begs the question: Is a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage one of the best forms of debt ever created for ordinary Americans?   Richard Vague  34:22   The 30-year mortgage, which was created, you know, that started on that path in the 1930 s for the very reasons we all know and love, which is getting Americans to own their own home, and has been, you know, a game changer for the country, and truly one of the great things that's been done, and I hope it's something that we continue to defend and preserve.   Keith Weinhold  34:46   Well, that brings up leverage and the prudent use of leverage. As real estate investors, we have this benefit of getting all these 30-year fixed-rate loans without the threat of a. Margin call being made. We're not borrowing over in the stock market. When you sign your loan documents, it doesn't say that the bank can call your note due at any time, but one could take it too far. And when it comes to debt, I think that really begs the question: Where does intelligent leverage end, and then dangerous leverage begin. What's the border?   Richard Vague  35:25   Well, you guys are experts, and I'm not. But the very simple premise is starts with not overpaying for the property to begin with. It is not an exact science, but generally speaking, I think we can tell when prices are relatively high in a given market and or a given year and relatively low, and you you'd always want to kind of be at least in the middle or somewhat on the low end before you acquire a property. So that's step number one, and then step number two is really just giving yourself a buffer, you know. We saw in the global financial crisis that real estate loans were being made in some cases at 100% of value. Yeah, and frankly, we saw at least some episodes within that folks borrowing over 100% of value, and certainly they were very happy when that happened. But we know there's zero margin for error when you do that, and perhaps even a negative margin for error when you do that. So I would think, you know, you guys know better than me, but you know, I hate to borrow it much more than like 90% of value, maybe 95% if it's a smaller asset and you have a government guarantee, and if you can do it at lower leverage, you know, 70 or 80% of value, that's not a bad thing to consider. I tend to think in the real estate world that you know I've seen many investors, particularly in the commercial space, buy things with lower leverage, 50 or 75% But then, as the asset proves itself, they work with their lender to increase the debt-to-value ratio, you know, and get more money at it over time as it becomes an increasingly proven asset. So they migrate their way from 75% to 95% over time. I think that's a logical path.   Keith Weinhold  37:20   That acronym Ninja Loans, which were popular from about 2000 to 2007, that acronym Ninja means no income, no job or assets, and you might still get a loan of 110% of the value of the property. It was profligately irresponsible. Well, Richard, in a moment, I want to ask if you have a resource that our audience can follow along with you if they would like to do so. But before I do that, do you have any last thing that you would like to talk about? Maybe something that I did not ask you, whether it has to do with the general economy or real estate or interest rates or inflations. Is there something else that we should know?   Richard Vague  38:00   What I would do is just endorse your podcast.   Keith Weinhold  38:04   Thanks.   Richard Vague  38:05   You're approaching this in a very intelligent way, and you're very empirical, and I think your listeners are doing themselves a service by continuing to follow what you do. That's a really reasonable, secure, and yet bold path towards creating wealth, then I think you're to be commended.   Keith Weinhold  38:27   Oh, I appreciate the endorsement. I'm always blown away at our following, but you have some resources worth following as well. Tell us about that.   Richard Vague  38:36   Well, we do. We have a weekly video ourselves that it's about a five-minute video, and you can go to our website, which is tycos.com. So t y c h o s.com, and you know we have data on the site. If you're a real geek, you could go in and you can look at our macroeconomic data. You know, but if you're not, you can sign up for the video, and we come out with what we hope is a short but relevant video once a week talking on some aspect of the economy, and you know we'd love to have folks join that if they're interested.   Keith Weinhold  39:10   Well, it's valuable. I suggest you, the listener, check that out. Richard oftentimes turns conventional economics on his head, just like he did with us today, talking about how if there's higher interest rates, that does not necessarily mean lower inflation. Richard, it's been valuable as always. It's been great having you back on the show.   Richard Vague  39:30   It's an honor to be with you. Keep up the great work.   Keith Weinhold  39:38   In this remote interview, I got a beautiful look over Richard's shoulders there on the screen at Center City, Philadelphia, in the ornate buildings there. I will be in that part of the nation again shortly. Big thanks to Richard Vague. If you're looking him up, it is spelled V-A-G-U-E. We've got a.

David Booth is the founder and chairman of Dimensional Fund Advisors, one of the most influential investment firms in the world, managing more than $1 trillion in assets. Earlier in his career, David helped develop one of the world's first index funds and spent decades applying academic financial research—including ideas developed by his mentor, Nobel laureate Eugene Fama—to real-world investing. David is also a proud University of Kansas alum, earning degrees in economics and business from KU before earning his MBA from the University of Chicago. And his philanthropy has been extraordinary: the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business bears his name, as does David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium. In 2010, David and his wife Suzanne purchased James Naismith's original rules of basketball for $4.3 million and brought them home to KU—the story featured in my favorite documentary of all time ESPN's 30 for 30: There's No Place Like Home. In 2025, David made an additional $300 million gift to Kansas Athletics, continuing his remarkable support of KU. And most recently David wrote a book titled, Stay Calm: Learn to Embrace Uncertainty in Investing and Life. In this episode we discuss the following: When David found $15,000 in cash in his late parents' safe-deposit box, he wondered what it might have become had they invested it in the public markets instead. He calculated that if his father had invested the money after returning from World War II and simply earned the market return, it would have grown to more than $1 million over the next 40 years. That's the magic of compounding, and I love David's bigger point that our lives compound as well, from the things we learn, to the decisions we make, and the relationships we build. I love David's explanation for why he's optimistic about markets: people want to make their lives better. When something goes wrong, people adapt. They solve problems. They invent things. Companies find new ways to serve customers. And over time, that human ingenuity gets reflected in the market. As a stressed-out PhD student at the University of Chicago, David visited his grandparents, who lived in a tiny home that didn't even have indoor plumbing. Yet he looked around at his family laughing and enjoying themselves and thought: Maybe they've figured out something about life that I haven't. That realization helped him choose the career path that fit what he actually valued. Invest early, stay invested, and make sure you're invested in the right things.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton sits down with Fire Captain Mark Andrew — author of Leading Through the Heat and a career firefighter who has spent decades learning what separates leaders who earn loyalty from the ones who lose it. This is not a corporate leadership conversation. This is leadership forged in fire — literally. Mark brings the raw, honest, and practical lessons that only come from leading people through the moments where everything is on the line and there is no room for ego, micromanagement, or empty authority.

A lot has changed since the last time we pulled up chairs around the Boring Bar. For our fourth edition, eight manufacturing leaders joined us in the MakingChips studio ahead of the IMTS pre-party to talk about where the industry is headed and, after a couple pours, where they think it should be headed. AI takes over the conversation early. How fast is it really moving into manufacturing? What happens when it can quote jobs, write code, capture tribal knowledge, or help program a part? Where does the human still matter? And are we actually prepared for the power, infrastructure, workforce, and even educational questions that come with all of it? Then we turn the question back on ourselves. If you were starting a machine shop in 2026, knowing everything we know now, would you build it the same way? What would you invest in first? What kind of equipment would you buy? How would you think about automation, people, capacity, specialization, cash flow, and the growing list of incentives available to manufacturers? Along the way, we get into what's driving demand right now, why data centers suddenly matter to machine shops, what manufacturers should be watching at IMTS, and whether the next generation of shops will look anything like the ones we grew up around. As usual at the Boring Bar, there are strong opinions, questionable jokes, bourbon, gin, and a few detours we definitely didn't plan. Pull up a chair.

Family Famous is coming. A new day is dawning for Man vs Marriage. Family Famous is about reaching and teaching men how to be famous where it matters most — not in Hollywood, not on a stage, but under your own roof.This episode is not about merely getting through a hard season. It is about thriving and growing in it.Quincy is walking through significant adversity right now. Maybe you are too. That adversity is not wasted. It is tied to who you are becoming and how you impact your family.This is not self-development. Quincy does not walk in self-improvement. He walks in transformation — because Jesus Christ is the one who has transformed him.He shares from year ten of marriage, when he and Jeannie were in survival mode: eight kids, autism, serious health crises, children airlifted to UCLA, trauma-room experiences, sexual abuse of their children by babysitters, losing the house, eating from a church food bank. They had become roommates. They had to decide what they signed up for — survival, or a relationship that was actually alive.He is not telling that story for pity. He is telling it so you know it is possible to keep moving forward from wherever you are.You are not alone. If you have isolated because you believe nobody understands, that isolation is a tactic of the enemy. Do the opposite of what you feel. Lean on the resources you have. If you feel like you have no voice left in your own house — husband, father — you are still not alone.Transformation means a renewed mind. It means becoming someone new. Being “good on your own” only lasts a little while before old habits pull you back.As the episode closes, Quincy gets practical:Invite your wife to coffee. Ask how she is.Consider the whole of who you are: man, husband, father, son, sibling, professional — your health and your faith.Take a child to coffee. The runway of influence gets shorter every day. You don't have time not to do this.Invest in your relationship with God. Ask Him who He would have you be.The book Becoming Family Famous is coming in October at quincymoran.com.

Dr. Killeen shares a simple mindset that can transform the way you think about your time, money, and daily decisions. Every choice falls into one of two categories: you're either investing in something that creates long-term value or you're spending on something that offers only a short-term reward. Learning to recognize the difference can have a powerful impact on both your practice and your personal life. From continuing education and technology investments to training your team and protecting your focus, this episode explores why the best returns often require discomfort upfront. Dr. Killeen encourages listeners to pause before their next big decision and ask one question: Is this an investment that will compound over time, or am I simply spending?

While I am ALWAYS big on investing in coaching, mentors and programs for your business - that doesn't mean you should be investing willy nilly into coach.You want to choose the right coach, the right program, the right support, and the right investment for your goals and life.And as a business owner it's not JUST coaches that you are investing in, it's also other purchases like websites, team members, ads, random $97 courses here and there, logos, and so on.Some investments are crucial for your success in business and balance in life as a mom, but some are straight up a waste of your time and money.In this episode I am going to break down exactly what you SHOULD NOT and SHOULD invest in as you're scaling to $5k-$10k months.Want to connect with Hailey?Ready to go ALL IN building the business and life you want as a mommy coach with the strategies you learned in this episode? ⁠⁠Click here to learn more and apply for The Joyful MAMA Coach!⁠⁠ (P.S.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the Counter-Racist Weekly Review 08/29/26. This broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth and neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS **Wisconsin Race Soliders Hoarding Skulls Again**: A White Man in Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin. FOX11 News reports that 47-year-old Benjamin Larson's was arrested after authorities "found many disturbing items, including books, documents and memorabilia related to murders and serial killers. Skeletal remains, including many apparent human skulls, were also found." Jeff Dahmer, Max Anderson, White Culture. **Sade C. Robinson**: Larson arrest and stash of human remains dramatically underscores Gus's ongoing efforts to obtain all public records related to the criminal case of Sade C. Robinson. At this juncture, Milwaukee courthouse Race Soldiers Judge Laura Crivella, court reporter Julie Persinger and their Racist courthouse lackeys continue to obstruct Justice. **Was Dr. Frances Cress Welsing correct about Recreational Cannabis?**: We'll review a WNYC segment where New York Times' Roni Caryn Rabin details a new JAMA study showing a growing number of US residents are self-reporting cannabis addiction and dependency. The great Neely Fuller Jr. warned non-white people about letting others (especially Racists) increase our needs. **Brain Damage & The NFL**: A sobering new report shows that at least 25% of NFL players in this study tested positive for CTE (brain damage). The most important aspect of this report is that more than half the players who did not test positive for CTE did not have their brain tested at all. Thus, the number of players with brain damage is logically much higher. Some NFL analysts speculate this sort of info could eventually end tackle football. #TheCOWS17Years #JusticeForSade #EmmettLouisTill #CounterRacism #GlobalWhiteSupremacy #BenjaminLarson #CTE FondDuLac #Wisconsin #Milwaukee #Cannabis #PennState Call-In Number: 720.716.7300 Code: 564943#

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts Session 8 on The Memoirs of Robert & Mabel Williams: African American Freedom, Armed Resistance, & International Solidarity. Moving forward from last week's recap of numerous attempts to kill the Williams' family, we'll pick up with Chapter 47. Recap of last week and Robert Williams' increased commitment to publicizing their Counter-Violence program: Hypocrisy of Non-Violence: Williams once again points out that White and non-white people are quick to reject and/or protect White people from counter-violence in response to Racism. But these same White and non-white people are silent about the daily White Terrorism against black people.
