In this episode of The Holy Grail of Investing, Christopher Zook sits down with Joe Lonsdale, a leading investor at the intersection of AI, defense, and national competitiveness, for a timely conversation on what is real (and what is hype) in the AI revolution. Joe shares why he views AI as a major industrial revolution driven by productivity, not an "existential" technology destined to replace civilization. He breaks down the AI value chain, from energy and chips to data centers, models, software infrastructure, and the applications delivering real economic value, along with where he sees the best risk-reward opportunities. The conversation expands into the strategic stakes of the AI race, including how defense, space, energy, and critical minerals fit together and what it takes to build world-class companies in sectors shaped by both innovation and policy. Joe also reflects on founding the University of Austin, and why courage and open debate matter more than ever in a rapidly changing world.

Dan Nathan interviews veteran tech investor Dan Benton about how tech investing has changed since Benton's 1991 “20 rules” at Goldman Sachs and why he's releasing new “2026 rules,” alongside launching a Substack. Benton contrasts a pre-internet, sell-side, information-advantage era with today's commoditized data, retail tools, and faster markets, arguing investors now differentiate by identifying secular themes and sticking with them. He emphasizes tech as “the market,” the need to respect the Fed, and that momentum in tech is driven by multi-year estimate trajectories, revenue acceleration, and operating leverage, with valuation often secondary until growth decelerates. They discuss stock-based compensation distorting earnings quality, rotations within AI beneficiaries, crowding and risk-off selloffs, and uncertainties around hyperscaler CapEx and OpenAI's private-market marks. The conversation covers SaaS disruption risk, Tesla and SpaceX “selling the future,” China's advantages, and why markets are faster but not smarter.

Financial education is expanding nationwide—but much of it is still teaching speculation instead of investing. Don and Tom critique stock-picking contests, flawed risk frameworks, and misleading “active vs. passive” framing, while arguing for evidence-based investing and early Roth contributions as the true foundations of financial literacy. They break down the compounding power of a 529-to-Roth strategy, address custodial transaction fees when selling mutual funds, caution against performance chasing in emerging markets after a major rally, and help a caller navigate moving an elderly parent's CD out of a low-yield bank account. The through-line: education is powerful—but only if it's grounded in reality. 0:04 Financial education expanding nationwide—but stock-picking contests still dominate curricula. 2:14 Why stock games teach trading, not investing.

Do Business. Do Life. — The Financial Advisor Podcast — DBDL
If you're leading a team and meeting with clients every day, your ability to influence, listen, and read the room matters more than you think. The best advisors aren't just good at numbers, they're good at people. And most of us are missing half the signals.In this episode, I'm joined by mentalist and keynote speaker, Max Major. We recently had the pleasure of having Max perform at our Triad Launch Experience and he absolutely blew the room away. And it wasn't just with his mind-bending demonstrations, it was with the psychology behind influence, body language, and belief systems.We unpack what's really happening beneath the surface in client conversations — how your intent changes the energy in the room, how subtle body language cues reveal internal objections, and how understanding your client's state of mind can completely reshape the way you lead, serve, and earn trust.3 of the biggest insights from Max Major…#1.) Body Language Is About Noticing Shifts, Not JudgmentThere's no universal meaning to crossed arms. The game is noticing changes from open to closed (or closed to open), then stopping and giving them the floor immediately. That's how you handle objections before they become deal-killers.#2.) The Best Salespeople Are Elite ListenersConfidence, rapport, and trust are the three pillars of influence. But the real edge comes from listening deeply enough to let the client write the sales pitch for you and then paraphrase it in your own words.#3.) Your Thoughts Create Your RealityMax unpacks why high performers often run on a hidden program like “I'm not good enough,” how that can drive success for years, and why upgrading the belief can unlock a new level without killing your edge.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/158FOLLOW BRAD JOHNSON ON SOCIALTwitterInstagramLinkedInFOLLOW DBDL ON SOCIAL:YouTubeTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookDISCLOSURE DBDL podcast episode conversations are intended to provide financial advisors with ideas, strategies, concepts and tools that could be incorporated into their business and their life.

Graphene is a 2-dimensional variety of the element carbonIt's what's know as a carbon "allotrope" consisting of a single layer of carbon atoms tightly bound in a hexagonal honeycomb lattice.Graphene is known for its exceptionally high tensile strength, electrical conductivity, transparency, and being the thinnest two-dimensional material in the world.Despite the nearly transparent nature of a single graphene sheet, graphite (formed from stacked layers of graphene) appears black because it absorbs all visible light wavelengths.On a microscopic scale, graphene is the strongest material ever measured.Graphene is a versatile, ultra-strong, and highly conductive material used to enhance batteries (faster charging), create durable anti-corrosion coatings, develop flexible electronics, improve solar panel efficiency, and advance biomedical applications like drug delivery.It acts as a super-material additive in composites, strengthening everything from tennis rackets to car tires.To discuss the coming graphene revolution, we have the good fortune to talk with Kjirstin Breure, President and Chief Executive Officer of HydroGraph Clean PowerSCHEDULE YOUR FREE PORTFOLIO REVIEW with Thoughtful Money's endorsed financial advisors at https://www.thoughtfulmoney.com#graphene #graphenecoating #hydrograph_____________________________________________ Thoughtful Money LLC is a Registered Investment Advisor Promoter.We produce educational content geared for the individual investor.

New Money Making Conversations episodes drop daily. I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Willie Jolley. SUMMARY OF THE INTERVIEW In this energetic and motivational conversation, Hall of Fame speaker Dr. Willie Jolley joins Rushion McDonald on Money Making Conversations Masterclass to discuss his new book, “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better.” The interview covers the difference between being rich and being wealthy, the mindsets required for long-term financial growth, and how individuals—no matter their background—can build generational wealth. Jolley also emphasizes discipline, humility, planning, multiple streams of income, overcoming setbacks, and the importance of insurance and protection of assets. PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW The interview aims to: 1. Introduce and promote Dr. Jolley’s new book “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better” and the teachings within it. 2. Educate listeners on the distinction between rich and wealthy Jolley wants audiences to understand wealth in generational, not short-term, terms. 3. Motivate individuals to shift their financial mindset From “working money” to “mailbox money.” 4. Empower entrepreneurs and families To adopt discipline, drop pride, and create multigenerational financial systems. 5. Share Jolley’s personal setback‑to‑success story To reinforce that anyone can grow wealth with the right principles. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Rich vs. Wealthy Being rich = high income, often tied to active labor (e.g., athlete contracts). Being wealthy = passive income, ownership, generational sustainability. A rich football player earns millions; the team owner earns billions and doesn’t have to “run up and down the field.” 2. The Five Money Mindsets Jolley explains five financial mindsets: One‑day mindset – living day to day. 30‑day mindset – fixed incomes/check-to-check living. One‑year mindset – annual thinking (raises, annual income). Decade mindset – typical for entertainers/athletes with multi‑year contracts. Generational mindset (Wealth Mindset) – building wealth to last multiple generations. Jolley’s goal: move people up just one level at a time. 3. Five Types of Wealth Jolley breaks wealth into five categories: Financial Wealth Health Wealth (“A sick person has one dream; a healthy person has a thousand.” – Les Brown) Relationship Wealth Reputational Wealth (Brand) Intellectual Capital Wealth (What you know and can charge for) 4. Discipline Is the Key Wealth requires: Living below your means Investing the difference Consistency Avoiding arrogance and ignorance 5. Pride Is an Enemy of Wealth Pride leads people to overspend to keep up appearances.Jolley argues that pride “kills wealth” and must be replaced with planning and humility. 6. The Three Legs of Wealth To build sustainable wealth, you need: Income Investment (letting money work for you) Insurance (life, health, car, disability, long-term care) 7. Multiple Streams of Income Jolley urges everyone to build at least two streams of income from: Stocks Bonds Real estate Crypto Collectibles Jewelry Art Content creation 8. Overcoming Setbacks Jolley details his own journey from unemployed nightclub singer to globally recognized motivational speaker.He reinforces that a setback is a setup for a comeback—the core message of his earlier bestselling book. 9. It’s Never Too Late to Start He cites examples of: A secretary who retired with $8M by investing small amounts over time Invested $12,000 at age 65 and grew it to $890,000 by age 72 NOTABLE QUOTES FROM THE INTERVIEW On Time & Opportunity “I have only just a minute… but it’s up to me to use it.” On Mindset “Wealth starts in your mind.” On Rich vs. Wealthy “Regular folks work for their money. Wealthy people make their money work for them.” On Pride “My pride was killing my wealth.” On Growth & Learning “If you’re willing to learn, no one can stop you.” [On Setbacks “A setback is a setup for your greater comeback.” On Starting Late “When is the best time to plant a tree?

In this episode of Pillars of Wealth Creation, Todd sits down with Clare Baukham of Clear Art Reserve to explore what art investing looks like and how it can fit into a diversified wealth-building strategy. Clare shares her journey from financial advisor to art syndicator, creating opportunities for investors to participate in high-value artwork through a structured, shared-ownership model. She explains how studying what billionaires do to build and preserve wealth shaped her investment philosophy, leading her to focus on alternative assets and long-term strategy. A key framework she discusses is her “3 P's” approach — Predict, Plan, and Persevere — anticipating trends, creating a clear roadmap, and staying disciplined through market cycles. Clare also shares how the value of the arts appreciates and how investors can share in profits when a piece is sold. At the same time, she emphasizes that art investing requires proper research and understanding before jumping in. This episode offers a clear look at art as an alternative asset and practical insight into building wealth through strategic, informed investing.

On this episode of Live From The Compound, we break down the shift in global market leadership as international stocks outperform the U.S. While many investors credit valuations and a weaker dollar, Matthew Tuttle argues something bigger is happening: Europe is rebuilding not just its military, but its digital infrastructure to reduce dependence on U.S. tech platforms. Matt, CEO and CIO of Tuttle Capital Management, joins Downtown Josh Brown to discuss digital sovereignty, shifting procurement, and whether this marks a cyclical rotation or the start of a structural reallocation away from U.S mega-cap dominance. We cover the impact on defense, cloud, U.S. tech giants, China exposure, currency effects, and how investors should size the opportunity. This episode is sponsored by Public.

Our Chief Fixed Income Strategist Vishy Tirupattur and U.S. Head of Credit Strategy Vishwas Patkar discuss the implications of private credit's exposure to the software industry.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Vishy Tirupattur: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I am Vishy Tirupattur, Morgan Stanley's Chief Fixed Income Strategist. Vishwas Patkar: I'm Vishwas Patkar, Morgan Stanley's U.S. Head of Credit Strategy. Vishy Tirupattur: While potential disruption from AI has been a key driver for markets [in the] last few weeks, the focus of investor agenda has been in the software sector. On today's podcast, we will talk about software in the credit markets and its implications. It's Monday, March 2nd at 10am in New York. Vishwas, let's start by understanding how the exposure in software manifests in the credit markets. How does it compare to software, say, in the equity market? Vishwas Patkar: Yeah, so the software exposure in credit markets is large, and understandably that's why investors are closely watching what's happening with software in the equity market. But what's interesting and important for investors to note is the exposure in credit is very different from what it is in equities. So, for instance, a good chunk of exposure in the credit market is around private issuers. So, we estimate about 80 percent of companies are private in the whole sample set that we looked at. And that's largely a function of the fact that software is not a big part of the more liquid spaces like Investment Grade and High Yield. But it is heavily represented in the more opaque parts of the market, like leveraged loans, CLOs, and, you know, BDCs. So, our analysis found that about 25 percent of BDC portfolios are in software, closely followed by private credit CLOs. And leveraged loan market was about 16 percent. So, that's an important distinction to keep in mind versus the equity market. The second thing I would flag is – because the software sector grew a lot in the loan market through the LBO wave of 2020 and 2021, it has a weaker credit quality skew to it than the overall market. So about 50 percent of borrowers in the sector are rated B - or lower. So, that's the lowest rungs of the rating spectrum. Many of these software deals were underwritten with higher leverage than the broad market. And as a result of that you also have more front-loaded maturities in the sector, which brings the risks of refinancing, if some of this disruption persists. But Vishy, that's a nice segue to you. Over the past couple of years, you looked at the private credit market in depth and that's where I think the exposure we found is the highest in BDCs, you know, which is the public face of private credit. So, in your assessment, what is the risk of software to private credit, given all of the headlines that are popping up? Vishy Tirupattur: Public face of private credit – Vishwas, that's a great line. BDCs – business development corporations for those who are not familiar – are companies that invest in the debt of small and medium sized companies, sourced through non-bank channels. BDCs fund themselves through equity and debt issuance. So, if you look at the portfolios of BDCs to look at their exposure to software, there's a wide variation across the various BDC portfolios. What makes the assessment of these software risks in BDCs challenging is that many of these companies are private companies without the reporting obligations of public companies. So, no earnings reports, no 10-Ks or cues or broadly publicly available financials look at. So, in effect, these companies need to be re underwritten to evaluate which of these companies would be disrupted from AI; and which companies could actually benefit from AI and see their margins expand. So, in the context of BDCs, liability spreads are something we are watching closely. BDC liability spreads have widened but we think more needs to happen there. The clearing levels need to wait for the full resolution of the companies that benefit and that get hurt by disruption that is still awaited. So, we expect credit spreads of BDCs to remain volatile for some time to come. Vishwas Patkar: Okay. So, seems like this is a significant, or at least a non-trivial risk factor for credit markets, given the growth of the sector, leverage, the skew and quality. But Vishy, do you think this could be systemic for risk markets at large? Vishy Tirupattur: So, I do think that this is a significant risk, but I don't think it's a systemic risk. The amount of leverage in BDC is fairly small. About 2x is the kind of leverage. You compare that to the kind of leverage that existed in the financial system before the financial crisis – that's orders of magnitude smaller risk. And also the linkage to the banking system comes through the back leverage provided to the non-bank lenders. But this leverage is substantially risk remote with very high subordination levels. So, my conclusion here is this is a significant risk but not a systemic risk. So let me turn the same question to you, Vishwas. Taking on a sort of historical perspective as well as a macro perspective, how do you see this risk manifesting in the broader credit space? Vishwas Patkar: Yeah, so I would agree with you Vishy, that we need to see a valuation reset. We think spreads should go wider because of disruption concerns, even if they affect a relatively narrow part of the market. But a lot of that's happening against issuance that's rising. But I would say the risk of systemic concerns really emerging is relatively low. if you look at historical cycles where credit has been the weak link in the economy, those are typically characterized by a lot of corporate re-leveraging. So, think about the late 1990s or from 2004 to 2007 or the early 2000-teens. These are all cycles where corporates were being very aggressive, adding a lot of debt. And you know, when the economy slowed, credit became the source of some default and downgrade concerns. We haven't really seen that type of credit cycle play out at all in the past few years. If you look at corporate debt to GDP, for example, it's gone down each of the last five years. Balance sheet corporate leverage has been flat or actually gone lower in spots. M&A activity, which is usually a good indicator of corporate aggressiveness, still remains below trend. So, I think we have had a fairly restrained credit cycle where in place fundamentals are quite strong. And that's why I think the systemic contagion from any credit spread weakness, I think could be relatively muted. Vishy Tirupattur: So, the key takeaway from us is that software and credit is a significant risk but is not quite systemic risk. Thanks for listening.

Gavin Baker is the Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer of Atreides Management, which oversees $7 billion across public, private, and crossover strategies focused on technology and the consumer. Gavin's deep knowledge of semiconductors and AI may be second to none, but our conversation barely touches the space. We begin with Gavin's upbringing, intellectual curiosity, and path to investing, before turning to the beliefs that shape his approach. We explore his view that investing is a search for truth best pursued through debate, intellectual honesty, and a willingness to be wrong, and why people, culture, execution, and risk management matter more than investment process in driving long-term performance. We then turn to the application of those beliefs at Atreides, where Gavin emphasizes the importance of deep fundamental understanding, hypothesis-driven research, and culture that rewards constructive disagreement. We discuss how crossover investing can create informational and behavioral advantages - particularly in AI - and how portfolio construction in both hedge funds and venture capital can narrow the gap between insight and performance. As a disclaimer, I am both an LP and an advisor to Atreides, so I'm a little biased in my suspicion that you will really enjoy this conversation with Gavin Baker.

Most people have never met anyone who invests in parking lots, let alone considered buying one themselves. Are investors looking past one of the most misunderstood opportunities of 2026? Yes. Today, I'm making the case for why parking lots deserve a serious look from every real estate investor. Imagine this: day-one cash flow, appreciation in the country's best locations, dynamic pricing that can maximize revenue minute-by-minute, limited supply, growing demand. That's the formula that every investor would gladly pull the trigger on. But most investors overlook the opportunity directly in front of them—parking lots. Don't believe me? Today, I'll share multiple case studies on how Sunrise Capital Investors generated over $10M in value from this overlooked asset, how we acquire parking facilities with cash flow the second we close, and three reasons why parking garage investments are poised to deliver phenomenal returns not only in the next few years but for decades.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes back Adrian Day to the show. Adrian Day is the CEO of Adrian Day Asset Management and Manager of the EuroPacific Gold Fund. The discussion centers on the current state of gold, silver, and global commodities markets, with Day providing deep insights into current investment trends and opportunities. Day remains bullish on gold, citing historical market cycles and key buyers like central banks and Tether. He notes that central banks are actively diversifying away from the US dollar due to concerns about government profligacy and potential asset weaponization. The trend of dollar reserve reduction has been ongoing for years, accelerated by events like the confiscation of Russian central bank assets. Regarding silver, Day sees potential but with more risks compared to gold. He highlights a genuine physical deficit in the silver market and increasing demand from sectors like solar panel manufacturing. However, he cautions that high prices might incentivize manufacturers to seek more efficient alternatives. In the broader commodity complex, Day finds significant value opportunities. He points out that commodities are trading near 100-year lows relative to financial assets, with underinvestment in sectors like oil, gas, and copper creating potential for price appreciation. He emphasizes the long lead times for new commodity projects and the challenges of rapidly increasing production. Day’s investment approach focuses on global markets, with a current preference for reducing US exposure and exploring opportunities in markets like Britain, Singapore, and Hong Kong. He remains particularly interested in gold mining stocks, especially mid-tier producers in stable jurisdictions.

Investing” Is Not the Same as “Owning” A client said something to Bruce recently that stuck with me: “I despise the idea of a 401(k)… but I also know I'll spend the money if it hits my checking account.” That single sentence captures the tension so many families feel. https://www.youtube.com/live/1d8Ln6EsBxk On one hand, you want control. You want options. You want the ability to pivot when life changes or opportunity shows up. On the other hand, you've been trained to believe the “responsible” path is to lock money away, chase a rate of return, and hope the future works out. That's why Bruce and I recorded this episode—because most people think wealth is built by finding the right investments. But the families who build long-term, sustainable wealth usually share something deeper: They've learned the difference between investing vs owning assets—and they prioritize control of capital. In the first 100 words, let's say it plainly: if you're only “investing,” you may be building a net worth number, but still living with limited access, limited flexibility, and limited decision-making. Owning assets is different. Ownership changes your options—today, not just someday. Investing” Is Not the Same as “Owning”What You'll Learn About Investing vs Owning AssetsInvesting vs Owning Assets: What's the Difference, Really?Taxable vs Tax-Deferred vs Tax-Free Accounts: Don't Confuse the Account With the InvestmentWhy Too Much Money in Qualified Plans Can Limit Your OptionsTraded vs Non-Traded Investments ExplainedPrivate Real Estate Investing vs REIT: What You're Actually ChoosingWhat Is an Accredited Investor Definition—and Why It MattersHow to Buy a Small Business to Build Wealth (Even If You're a W-2 Earner)“Who Not How”: Build Ownership With the Right TeamInvesting vs Owning Assets in Everyday Life: A Simple Self-AssessmentInfinite Banking as a Wealth Strategy: Where Ownership and Control Show UpInvesting vs Owning Assets: Ownership Changes Your OptionsListen to the Full Episode on Investing vs Owning AssetsBook A Strategy CallFAQWhat is the difference between investing vs owning assets?What does traded vs non-traded investments explained mean?Is a REIT the same as owning real estate?Why do qualified plans like 401(k)s reduce control of capital?How do I build wealth outside the stock market? What You'll Learn About Investing vs Owning Assets In this blog (and podcast), Bruce Wehner and I unpack what we called the “unseen wealth gap”—the gap between families who primarily invest and families who intentionally own assets. Here's what you'll gain by reading: Clear definitions: taxable vs tax-deferred vs tax-free accounts (and why most people confuse the account with the investment) The real difference between traded vs non-traded investments Why so many families feel trapped inside qualified plans (401(k)s, IRAs, SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, 403(b)s, 457s) Practical ways to build wealth outside the stock market—even if you're a W-2 earner How liquidity and access to capital can matter more than a projected rate of return Where Infinite Banking and cash value life insurance can fit into an ownership strategy And just to be clear: this is education and perspective—not individualized financial advice. Our goal is to help you think better, ask better questions, and make decisions with more clarity. Investing vs Owning Assets: What's the Difference, Really? People hear “ownership” and say, “But I own stock. Isn't that ownership?” Technically, yes—you own shares. But for most everyday investors, that “ownership” often comes with very little control. Here's the simplest way we can say it: Investing often means you participate in an asset's performance, but you don't control decisions, timing, access, or outcomes. Owning assets means you have more influence over the decisions, the structure, the cash flow, and the information—especially when you own businesses, real estate, or private assets where you can ask questions and understand what's actually happening. Bruce made a point that's worth repeating: with public companies, you cannot call the CEO, ask hard questions, or influence strategy. With many private ownership structures (like certain partnerships), you can talk to the sponsor, review details, ask “what happens if…,” and understand the philosophy and vision—not just the numbers. That difference—access to information and decision-making—is part of the wealth gap. Taxable vs Tax-Deferred vs Tax-Free Accounts: Don't Confuse the Account With the Investment One of the biggest misunderstandings we see is this: people treat the account type as the investment. They'll say, “I'm investing in a Roth,” or “I'm investing in my 401(k).” But your 401(k) is not the investment. It's a tax bucket. Taxable accounts These are accounts where you typically pay taxes as you earn interest/dividends or realize gains (like selling a stock for a capital gain). Think brokerage accounts, bank interest, and many dividend-producing holdings. Tax-deferred accounts (qualified plans) These include 401(k)s, traditional IRAs, SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, 403(b)s, 457s, and some annuities. Tax-deferred means you generally postpone taxes now and pay later—plus you follow IRS rules for access and distribution timing. This is where many families have the majority of their money… and also where many families feel stuck. Tax-free strategies (or tax-advantaged) This category can include Roth IRAs, certain municipal bond interest, some forms of home equity, and properly structured life insurance strategies (depending on your situation and compliance). The point isn't that everything is “tax-free.” The point is: many families never even explore this category beyond “Roth or not.” When you only see two options—pay tax now or pay tax later—you miss the strategies that create flexibility. Why Too Much Money in Qualified Plans Can Limit Your Options Bruce said something that we see all the time: Some families have 95%—sometimes close to 100%—of their money inside qualified plans. Then life happens: A business opportunity shows up A real estate purchase requires speed A family emergency requires liquidity A market downturn makes you hesitate to sell assets A capital call comes due And suddenly the real problem isn't “returns.” It's access. If you want to understand how to build wealth outside the stock market, start with this question: Do I have enough capital outside qualified plans to act when opportunity (or adversity) arrives? This is why we talk so much about liquidity strategy and access to capital. Control isn't a philosophy. It's practical. Traded vs Non-Traded Investments Explained This is one of the most important distinctions in the whole conversation. Traded assets Traded assets are priced and exchanged in public markets—stocks, many ETFs, and other exchange-traded products. You get liquidity, but you also get the “whims” of market psychology. Bruce gave a powerful example: an apartment portfolio could be collecting rent just fine, but if investors panic, the traded price can drop anyway because people sell. So the asset can be stable—while the price swings. Non-traded assets Non-traded assets are not priced minute-by-minute on an exchange. That usually means less liquidity, but potentially more stability in valuation and often different risk/return expectations. Bruce used the example of non-traded real estate structures where the sponsor purchases assets, manages operations, and the investors participate based on the structure. This is where the key phrase comes in: liquidity and access to capital. Non-traded can mean you can't exit quickly. That can be a feature or a risk—depending on whether you planned for it. Private Real Estate Investing vs REIT: What You're Actually Choosing Real estate is a perfect example because people can “invest” in real estate in multiple ways. REITs A REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) can be traded or non-traded. The big difference you experience as an investor is usually liquidity and market pricing behavior. Private real estate ownership This includes owning rental properties directly, participating in partnerships, or investing in private deals like syndications (depending on eligibility and suitability). If you're asking, “Is this investing or owning?” here's a helpful lens: If you're buying a ticker symbol, you're mostly buying market exposure. If you're buying an interest in a specific asset and can ask questions about operations, assumptions, and scenarios, you're closer to ownership behavior—even if you're not the operator. And of course, none of this is “good” or “bad” by default. The question is: what fits your goals and your risk tolerance? What Is an Accredited Investor Definition—and Why It Matters Bruce explained the reality that certain private investments require accredited investor status. At a high level, that status can involve income thresholds or net worth thresholds (with certain exclusions, like primary residence equity). The reason it matters is simple: access. But let's not miss the bigger point: You don't need to be accredited to start shifting from “only investing” to “increasing ownership.” Business ownership, skill-based service businesses, local cash-flowing acquisitions, and many forms of direct real estate ownership do not require that label. So if you're not accredited, don't let that become a mental dead end. There are still practical ownership paths. How to Buy a Small Business to Build Wealth (Even If You're a W-2 Earner) Rachel here—this part matters because people assume business ownership has to mean: Starting a tech company Buying a major franchise Quitting their job overnight Taking huge risks with no plan

New Book: Climate Capital — Investing in the Tools for a Regenerative Future | An Interview with Tom Chi | An Analog Brain In A Digital Age With Marco Ciappelli What if the economy isn't broken — just badly designed? Tom Chi, Google X founding member, inventor of 77 patents, and venture capitalist at At One Ventures, joined me on An Analog Brain In A Digital Age to discuss his new book Climate Capital: Investing in the Tools for a Regenerative Future. From the streets of Florence to the strip malls of Silicon Valley, from the mechanics of attention capture to the physics of ecological economics, this conversation goes far beyond climate. It's about how we design the systems we live inside — and whether we have the will to redesign them before it's too late.
We'd love to hear from you. What are your thoughts and questions?In this conversation, M.C. Laubscher discusses the importance of liquidity in wealth building and preservation.

The discussion emphasizes that true wealth is not just about accumulation but about strategic freedom, resilience, and stewardship across generations.Main Points:Wealth is about sovereignty, resilience, and long-term optionality.Lack of liquidity can lead to a loss of freedom and identity as an investor.Investors often misunderstand liquidity as idle capital.Liquidity is essential for managing seasonal business fluctuations.Having access to cash can prevent forced asset sales during downturns.The concept of JOMO (joy of missing out) can help investors avoid FOMO.Liquidity allows for better risk management and control over investments.Selling assets can trigger taxable events, making liquidity planning crucial.Multi-generational wealth requires careful liquidity planning to avoid financial strain.Family banks can provide liquidity and support for future generations.download a free e-book and audiobook at www.getwealthyforsure.comConnect with M.C.

GuildhallWealth.com/RebelNews. | On this episode of The Real Money Show, presented by Guildhall Wealth, Jeremy Wiseman and Jerry Correia explore what silver's breakout after 50 years of suppression really means. They break down forecasts calling for gold to reach $7,000–$10,000 per ounce and silver to hit $300, explaining how these “crazy” numbers suddenly make sense when considering industrial demand, de-dollarization, and a global monetary reset. Jeremy and Jerry show why holding physical metals protects investors from currency devaluation, market manipulation, and systemic financial risk and how owning segregated gold and silver outside the banking system gives investors both security and tax advantages. Finally, they explain why silver scarcity, industrial growth, and long-term cycles make this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for investors to position themselves in physical gold and silver. The Real Money Show airs Saturdays at 1 p.m. ET on Rebel News. Jeremy and Jerry share expert insights on safeguarding your savings, diversifying your portfolio, and building long-term financial security. Since 2002, Guildhall has guided investors through inflation, market volatility, and global uncertainty, helping everyday people make informed financial decisions.
Arthur Brooks spent decades studying the science of happiness, yet at the peak of his career, he felt anxious and unfulfilled. From the outside, he seemed to have everything, but success was not delivering the joy, meaning, or mental wellness he expected.

Live from Joe's mom's basement (where humility is encouraged and spreadsheets are optional), the crew tackles a deceptively simple question. If most people think they're above average with money, what advice actually helps someone who isn't? Joe Saul-Sehy, OG, Doug, Jesse Cramer, and guest Whitney Hanson (Money Nerds podcast) run a thought experiment inspired by Morgan Housel's observation that nearly everyone believes they're financially smarter than the median. What straightforward moves keep someone from needing last minute financial Hail Marys? The answer isn't flashy. It's systems. Whitney kicks things off with a practical starting point: identify your knowledge gaps. Tools like Investor.gov quizzes can reveal blind spots, and she suggests theming your learning (one focus per month) so financial literacy doesn't feel overwhelming. From there, the conversation turns to controllables: cash flow, savings rate, lifestyle inflation, and career capital. Because while markets bounce around, your habits are yours. The gang also introduces the idea of a tactile money leak audit, physically reviewing spending to spot waste that autopilot budgeting apps can miss. It's less glamorous than crypto speculation but far more effective. Investing gets reframed too. Instead of treating it like a mysterious Wall Street game, they suggest thinking of it as owning small pieces of companies you already know and use. Start small. Automate it. Build reps. Confidence follows action. Insurance and estate planning round out the episode. The crew urges listeners to shop multiple advisors, understand policy details before signing, use AI to help decode fine print without blindly trusting it, and avoid overconfidence just because something sounds right. Doug keeps things lively with trivia revealing that Johnny Carson's 1982 DUI fine was a very specific $603, and OG once again proves suspiciously good at guessing. What You'll Learn: Why most people overestimate their financial knowledge and what to do about it How to identify and close your personal money knowledge gaps The key financial variables you actually control How to perform a simple money leak audit Why small, automatic investing beats waiting for the perfect moment How to make investing feel familiar instead of intimidating The basics everyone should understand about insurance and estate planning Why repetition builds financial confidence faster than theory The Big Takeaway: You don't need advanced tactics. You need consistent systems. Focus on what you control. Automate the boring stuff. Learn one thing at a time. Build margin. Repeat. Because the goal isn't to be above average. It's to be steady enough that you never need a desperate Hail Mary. This Episode Is For You If: You feel like everyone else has money figured out except you Financial advice usually feels too complicated or assumes knowledge you don't have You're tired of feeling behind and want simple systems that work You want to build confidence through action, not just theory You believe steady progress beats trying to be perfect Question for You: What was the first simple money habit that changed your trajectory? Share it in the Spotify comments or The Basement Facebook group. Your small win might be exactly what another Stacker needs to hear. Deeper dives with curated links, topics, and discussions are in our newsletter, The 201, available at https://www.StackingBenjamins.com/201 Enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices.
