What happens when you stop playing it safe and start playing it smart? In this episode, Joe Saul-Sehy, OG, and Neighbor Doug sit down with David Gardner, co-founder of The Motley Fool, to explore how breaking traditional investing “rules” can sometimes lead to the biggest wins. From his early career to building a community of investors who think differently, David shares the lessons that shaped his approach and why focusing on long-term investing (with a dash of joy) is the key to building wealth. This isn't just theory—David opens up about the real-world evolution of financial advice, the importance of conscious capitalism, and why advisors need to shift from just picking stocks to becoming true guides in an era where investment products are commodities. Along the way, the basement crew mixes in a few unexpected detours (yes, including some movie talk), reminding us that money doesn't have to be boring to be meaningful. If you've ever felt like the “safe” path with your money was leading you in circles, this episode offers a fresh perspective from one of the most influential voices in modern investing. Get ready to rethink the rules, laugh along the way, and come away with strategies to make your portfolio—and your life—more rewarding. Why breaking conventional investing “rules” can sometimes be your best move The evolution of The Motley Fool and its impact on everyday investors How long-term thinking beats short-term noise in building wealth The role of conscious capitalism and why businesses matter beyond profits Why financial advisors need to pivot their focus to guidance, not just products How criticism shaped David Gardner's career and what he learned from it Points to Ponder During the Episode When's the last time you broke a “money rule,” and did it pay off—or backfire? Do you believe financial advisors should focus more on guidance than investment selection? What's one company or stock you've stuck with long-term—and why? Learn more about your ad choices.

If you're an advisor who loves golf, here's the truth: the game teaches more about winning clients and building lasting trust than most people ever realize.That's exactly what I dive into with today's guest, Marisa Messana. She went from leading Clemson's women's golf team to the national championship, to competing as a professional golfer, to now coaching Fortune 100 companies, investment firms, and business owners.Through her work, Marisa helps in two ways:First, through her High Performance Training, where she equips people to perform like “corporate athletes.” This is the work that helps advisors shift from solopreneur to CEO, lead with more clarity, and create the space they need to actually grow.Second, with her Golf Experiences, she shows how to turn a round of golf into a trust-building, referral-generating opportunity. She blends fun on the course with growth-focused conversations off the course, creating the kind of experiences clients never forget.In this episode, Marisa shares how golf becomes more than a pastime, it's one of the best ways for advisors to build trust, win clients, and grow their business.4 of the biggest insights from Marisa Messana…1.) Winning On Paper, Falling Apart InsideAt Clemson, Marisa hit the pinnacle of success—leading her team to nationals and winning the Elite 90 Award. But behind the accolades, she was overwhelmed, burned out, and holding back tears. Her story exposes the danger of chasing external success without the systems and self-awareness to sustain it.2.) Self-Awareness Is What Separates Amateurs From ProsIn golf, pros track every stat after a round to find patterns and improve. Marisa realized she wasn't doing the same for her life. That's when she built her “mental gym,” a process of auditing habits, energy, and emotions. By tracking patterns and adjusting, she turned awareness into action—and that's what creates real, repeatable growth.3.) New Game, New Rules: Solopreneur to CEOMost advisors start as solopreneurs, where success depends on sheer hustle. But scaling a firm requires a different identity: leader, coach, CEO. Marisa shares how this shift mirrors her journey from athlete to business builder—and why so many advisors get stuck when they keep playing the old game by the old rules.4.) How to Host Golf Events That Drive ReferralsGolf is more than just a pastime for advisors—it's a powerful business tool. Marisa breaks down how to design unforgettable golf experiences that combine fun on the course with meaningful, growth-oriented discussions. By pairing the “golf component” (18 holes, a clinic, or even a simple range session) with a “growth component” (roundtable conversations, workshops, or keynotes), advisors can break down barriers, connect as equals, and build deep trust with prospects & clients.SHOW NOTEShttps://bradleyjohnson.com/134FREE GIFT + JOIN THE DBDL INSIDER CREWMarisa is offering a FREE 1:1 coaching call to the first 3 listeners who reach out with a specific business challenge they want to solve.Text “134” to 785-800-3235 and we'll share the details with the qualifiers.

  Morgan Keim, Founder of Ocean Ridge Capital, knows firsthand what it means to chase success at the cost of balance. After raising over $400M for food-tech startups, Morgan realized the constant flights, pressure, and uncertainty weren't sustainable.

You'll hear how he went from a curious limited partner to running his own private equity firm, revitalizing 20+ properties since 2020.   We dig into:

"Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours." - 1 Chronicles 29:11If God owns it all, what does that mean for the way we manage money? Brian Holtz is here to unpack the Five Pillars of Financial Discipleship—principles that, when embraced by families, bring freedom and joy to their finances.Brian Holtz is the CEO of Compass Financial Ministry and the author of Financial Discipleship for Families: Intentionally Raising Faithful Children.More Than Money ManagementWhen it comes to managing money as followers of Christ, the Bible calls us to more than financial freedom or peace of mind. It calls us to financial discipleship—a life of stewardship, surrender, and multiplication for God's Kingdom. Here are five key pillars that shape this journey.Pillar One: OwnershipEverything begins with recognizing who truly owns it all. Scripture reminds us in Psalm 24:1, Haggai 2:8, and 1 Chronicles 29:11 that God is the Creator and ultimate Owner of everything. Our role is not ownership but stewardship. This mindset shift—from “mine” to “His”—brings both relief and challenge. It's freeing to know the responsibility doesn't all rest on us, but humbling to realize our lives and resources are not ultimately ours to control.Pillar Two: SurrenderAcknowledging God's ownership requires surrender. Luke 14:33 makes this clear: discipleship means yielding everything back to God, not just intellectually but in our hearts. This surrender extends beyond giving—it includes how we spend, save, and plan. Trusting God's plan over our own is an act of daily obedience.Pillar Three: ChoiceIn Matthew 6:24, Jesus tells us we cannot serve both God and money. Every financial decision—whether saving, giving, or spending—reveals who we serve. Choosing God requires aligning daily habits with His Word, even when it feels counterintuitive. As Isaiah reminds us, God's ways are higher and better than ours.Pillar Four: MultiplicationDiscipleship is never meant to stop with us. In the Parable of the Talents, Jesus calls us to multiply what He has entrusted to us. This means sharing what we've learned and inviting others into the journey. Financial discipleship involves helping others apply biblical wisdom so that God's Kingdom continues to grow.Pillar Five: Eternal FocusFinally, discipleship means setting our eyes on eternity. Jesus said in Matthew 6:19–21 to store up treasures in heaven, not on earth. But these treasures aren't material—they're about our relationship with Christ. Living with an eternal focus keeps us from being distracted by temporary wealth and anchors our hope in Him alone.How Financial Discipleship DiffersIt's easy to confuse financial discipleship with financial stewardship or freedom. Stewardship may stop at wise resource management, but discipleship goes further—it's about helping others learn, apply, and multiply biblical truth for God's glory. True discipleship always leads to transformation, both personally and in community.Compass Financial Ministry exists to equip believers to live this way. Through resources, training, and community, they help people break free from the love of money and serve God more fully. Financial discipleship is really about helping others learn, apply, and multiply everything for God's glory, rather than for our own. To learn more, visit CompassFinancialMinistry.org.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm about to receive money from a relative's trust and want to place it in a high-yield money market account.

People believe a lot of things that simply aren't true. In this episode of the Midweek Memo podcast, host Mike Maharrey engages in some myth- busting. He exposes the fallacies in six myths that many people believe about the precious metals and the economy. Here are the myths Mike busts. 1. Silver has underperformed. 2. Tariffs can pay for government, and Trump can end the income tax. 3. Owning a gold-backed ETF is "the same" as owning physical gold. 4. Monetary policy is currently tight. 5. Gold is the best-performing precious metal this year. 6. Gold jewelry is a good investment (in the U.S.).

Our strategists Michelle Weaver and Adam Jonas join analyst Christopher Snyder to discuss the most important themes that emerged from the Morgan Stanley Annual Industrials Conference in Laguna Beach.Michelle Weaver: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Michelle Weaver, Morgan Stanley's U.S. Thematic Strategist.Christopher Snyder: I'm Chris Snyder, Morgan Stanley's U.S. Multi-Industry Analyst. Adam Jonas: And I'm Adam Jonas, Morgan Stanley's Embodied AI Strategist.Michelle Weaver: We recently concluded Morgan Stanley's annual industrials conference in Laguna Beach, California, and wanted to share some of the biggest takeaways.It's Tuesday, September 16th at 10am in New York.I want to set the stage for our conversation. The overall tone at the conference was fairly similar to last year with many companies waiting for a broader pickup. And I'd flag three different themes that really emerged from the conference. So first, AI. AI is incredibly important. It appeared in the vast majority of fireside conversations. And companies were talking about AI from both the adopter and the enabler angle. Second theme on the macro, overall companies remain in search of a reacceleration. They pointed to consistently expansionary PMIs or a PMI above 50, a more favorable interest rate environment and greater clarity on tariffs as the key macro conditions for renewed momentum. And then the last thing that came up repeatedly was how are companies going to react to tariffs? And I would say companies overall were fairly constructive on their ability to mitigate the margin impact of tariffs with many talking about both leveraging pricing power and supply chain shifts to offset those impacts. So, Chris, considering all this, the wait for an inflection came up across a number of companies. What were some of your key takeaways on multis, on the macro front? Christopher Snyder: The commentary was stable to modestly improving, and that was really consistent across all of these companies. There are, you know, specific verticals where things are getting better. I would call out data center as one. Non-res construction, as another one, implant manufacturing as one. And there were certain categories where we are seeing deterioration – residential HVAC, energy markets, and agriculture.But we came away more constructive on the cycle because things are stable, if not modestly improving into a rate cut cycle. The concern going in was that we would hear about deteriorating trends and a rate cut would be needed just to stabilize the market. So, we do think that this backdrop is supportive for better industrial growth into 2026.We have been positive on the project or CapEx side of the house. It feels like strength there is improving. We've been more cautious on the short cycle production side of the house. But we are starting to see signs of rate of change. So, when we look into [20]26 and [20]27, we think U.S. industrials are poised for decade high growth. Michelle Weaver: You've had a thesis for a while now that U.S. reshoring is going to be incredibly important and that it's a $10 trillion opportunity. Can you unpack that number? What are some recent data points supporting that and what did you learn at the conference? Christopher Snyder: Some of the recent data points that support this view is U.S. manufacturing construction starts are up 3x post Liberation Day. So, we're seeing companies invest. This is also coming through in commercial industrial lending data, which continues to push higher almost every week and is currently at now record high levels. So, there's a lot of reasons for companies not to invest right now. There's a lot of uncertainty around policy. But seeing that willingness to invest through all of the uncertainty is a big positive because as that uncertainty lifts, we think more projects will come off the sidelines and be unlocked. So, we see positive rate of change on that. What I think is often lost in the reassuring conversation is that this has been happening for the last five years. The U.S. lost share of global CapEx from 2000 when China entered the World Trade Organization almost every year till 2019 when Trump implemented his first wave of tariffs. Since then, the U.S. has taken about 300 basis points of global CapEx share over the last five years, and that's a lot on a $30 trillion CapEx base. So, I think the debate here should be: Can this continue? And when I look at Trump policy, both the tariffs making imports more expensive, but also the incentives lowering the cost of domestic production – we do think these trends are stable. And I always want to stress that this is a game of increments. It's not that the U.S. is going to get every factory. But we simply believe the U.S. is better positioned to get the incremental factory over the next 20 years relative to the prior 20. And the best point is that the baseline growth here is effectively zero. Michelle Weaver: And how does power play into the reshoring story? AI and data centers are generating huge demand for power that well outstrip supply. Is there a risk that companies that want to reshore are not able to do so because of the power constraints?Christopher Snyder: It's a great question. I think it's part of the reason that this is moving more slowly. The companies that sell this power equipment tend to prioritize the data center customers given their scale in magnitude of buying. But ultimately, we think this is coming and it's a big opportunity for U.S. power to extend the upcycle.Manufacturing accounts for 26 percent of the electricity in the country. Data center accounts for about 5 percent. So, if the industrial economy returns to growth, there will be a huge pull on the grid; and I view it as a competitive advantage. If you think about the future of U.S. manufacturing, we're simply taking labor out and replacing it with electricity. That is a phenomenal trade off for the U.S. And a not as positive trade off for a lot of low-cost regions who essentially export labor to the world. I'm sure Adam will have more to say about that. Michelle Weaver: And Adam, I want to bring robotics and humanoid specifically into this conversation as the U.S.' technological edge is a big part of the reshoring story. So how do humanoids fit into reshoring? How much would they cost to use and how could they make American manufacturing more attractive? Adam Jonas: Humanoid robots – we're talking age agentic robots that make decisions from themselves autonomously due to the dual purpose in the military. You know, dual purpose aspect of it makes it absolutely necessary to onshore the technologies.At the same time, humanoid robots actually make it possible to onshore those technologies. Meaning you need; we're not going to be able to replicate manufacturing and onshore manufacturing the way it's currently done in China with their environmental practices and their labor – availability of affordable cheap human labor.Autonomous robots are both the cause of onshoring. And the effect of onshoring at the same time, and it's going to transform every industry. The question isn't so much as which industry will autonomous robots, including humanoids impact? It's what will it not.And we have not yet been able to find anything that it would. When you think about cost to use – we think by 2040 we get to a point where to Chris's point, the marginal cost of work will be some factor of electricity, energy, and some depreciation of that physical plant, or the physical robot itself. And we come up with a, a range of scenarios where centered on around $5 per hour. If that can replace two human workers at $25 an hour, that can NPV to around $200,000 of NPV per humanoid. That's discounting back 15 years from 2040.Michelle, there's 160 million people in the U.S. labor market, so if you just substituted 1 percent of that or 1.6 million people out of the U.S. Labor pool. 1.6 million times $200,000 NPV; that's $320 billion of value, which is worth, well, quite a lot. Quite a lot of money to a lot of companies that are working on this. So, when we get asked, what are we watching, well, in terms of the bleeding edge of the robot revolution, we're watching the Sino-U.S. competition. And I prefer to call it competition. And we're also watching the terra cap companies, the Mag 7 type companies that are quite suddenly and recently and very, very significantly going after physical AI and robotics talent. And increasingly even manufacturing talent. So again, to circle back to Chris's point, if you want evidence of reshoring and manufacturing and advanced manufacturing in this country, look at some of these TMT and tech and AI companies in California. And look at, go on their hiring website and watch all the manufacturing and robotics people that they're trying to hire; and pay a lot of money to do so. And that might be an interesting indicator of where we're going.Michelle Weaver: I want to dig in a little bit more there. We're seeing a lot of the cutting-edge tech coming out of China. Is the U.S. going to be able to catch up?Adam Jonas: Uh, I don't know. I don't know. But I would say what's our alternative. We either catch up enough to compete or we're up for grabs. OK?I would say from our reading and working closely with our team in China, that in many aspects of supply chain, manufacturing, physical AI, China is ahead. And with the passage of time, they are increasingly ahead. We estimate, and we can't be precise here, that China's lead on the U.S. would not only last three to five years, but might even widen three to five years from now. May even widen at an accelerating rate three to five years from now.And so, it brings into play is what kind of environment and what kind of regulatory, and policy decisions we made to help kind of level the playing field and encourage the right kind of manufacturing. We don't want to encourage trailing edge, Victorian era manufacturing in the U.S. We want to encourage, you know, to skate to where the puck is going technology that can help improve our world and create a sustainable abundance rather than an unsustainable one. And so, we're watching China very, very closely. It makes us a little bit; makes me a little bit kind of nervous when we – if we see the government put the thumb on the scale too much.But it's invariably going to happen. You're going to have increased involvement of whichever administration it is in order to kind of set policies that can encourage innovation, education of our young people, repurposing of labor, you know. All these people making machines in this country now. They might get, there may be a displacement over a number of years, if not a generation.But we need those human bodies to do other things in this economy as well. So, we; I don't want to give the impression at all in our scenarios that we don't need people anymore. Michelle Weaver: What are the opportunities and the risks that you see for investors as robotics converges with this broader U.S. manufacturing story? Adam Jonas: Well, Michelle, we see both opportunities and risks. There are the opportunities that you can measure in terms of what portion of global GDP of [$]115 trillion could you look at. I mean, labor alone is $40 trillion.And if you really make humanoid that can do the work of two workers, guess what? You're not going to stop at [$]40 trillion. You're going to go beyond that. You might go multiple beyond that. Talking about the world before AI, robotics and humanoid is like talking about the world before electricity. Or talking about business before the internet. We don't think we're exaggerating, but the proof will be in the capital formation. And that's where we hope we can be of assistance to our clients working together on a variety of investment ideas. But the risks will come and it is our professional responsibility, if not our moral responsibility, to work with our partners across research to talk about those risks. Michelle, if we have labor displacement, go too quickly, there's serious problems. And if you don't, if you don't believe me, go look at, look at you know, the French Revolution or the Industrial Revolution, or Age of Enlightenments. Ages of scientific enlightenment frequently cohabitate times of great social and political turmoil as well. And so, we think that these risks must be seen in parallel if we want to bring forth technologies that can make us more human rather than less human. I'm sorry if I'm coming across as a little preachy, but if you studied robots and labor all day long, it does have that effect on you. So, Michelle, how do you see innovation priorities changing for industrials and investors in this environment?Michelle Weaver: I think it's huge as we're seeing AI and technology broadly diffuse across different segments of the market, it's only becoming more important. About two-thirds of companies at the conference mentioned AI in some way, shape, or form. We know that from transcripts. And we're seeing them continue to integrate AI into their businesses. They're trying to go beyond what we've just seen at the initial edge. So, for example, if I think about what was going on within AI adoption a couple years ago, it was largely adding a chat bot to your website that's then able to handle a lot of customer service inquiries. Maybe you could reduce the labor there a little bit. Now we're starting to see a lot more business specific use cases. So, for example, with an airline, an airline company is using AI to most optimally gate different planes as they're landing to try and reduce connection times. They know which staff needs to go to another flight to connect, which passengers need to move to another flight. They're able to do that much more efficiently. You're seeing a lot on AI being adopted within manufacturing to make manufacturing processes a lot more seamless. So, I think innovation is only going to continue to become more important to not only industrials, but broadly the entire market as well.Clearly the industry is being shaped by adaptability, collaboration, and a focus on innovation.

In an era where free markets are increasingly shaped by state power, investors need to understand the nexus of geopolitics, political economy and exponential technologies as a tool of statecraft. BPI's Matt Pines and Zack Shapiro join Zack Cohen to examine how U.S. industrial policy, AI breakthroughs, and Bitcoin regulation are converging to reshape global markets.The conversation explores the latest market structure bill and its impact on Bitcoin liquidity, the strategic Bitcoin reserve as a potential geopolitical hedge, and what Intel's bailout signals about the rise of national champions and state-directed capital allocation.The discussion goes beyond policy into the heart of investing in an age of fiscal dominance and technological disruption. How should investors interpret the tension between free markets and government intervention?What does AI-driven productivity and labor displacement mean for macro volatility? And in a world where political cycles, liquidity cycles, and market cycles are increasingly intertwined, can Bitcoin serve as a neutral reserve asset, hedge, and beneficiary of state-led capitalism?

Charles Spurgeon once said, “Consider how precious a soul must be, when both God and the devil are after it.” The story of the Rich Young Ruler in Matthew 19 shows us just how true that is. This young man approached Jesus with a pressing question: “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?”What followed was a conversation that revealed not only his heart but also the way possessions can grip any of us more deeply than we realize.A Revealing QuestionAt first glance, the man seemed sincere. But notice his words: “What good thing must I do?” He assumed that eternal life could be earned—checked off like an item on a list. Jesus, however, had just finished telling the crowd that the Kingdom belongs to those who receive it like children, wholly dependent on God's goodness. The man either missed or resisted that truth.When Jesus pointed him to the commandments, it wasn't because those could save him. It was to reveal what held the highest place in his heart. Outwardly, he looked moral. Inwardly, his wealth had become his god.When the man pressed further, Jesus cut to the core: “Go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” Matthew 19:22 records the heartbreaking result: “When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful, for he had many possessions.”The issue wasn't money—it was devotion. Jesus loved him enough to name the one thing keeping him from life. For him, it was wealth. For us, it might be something else—career, reputation, control. Whatever we prize above Christ must be surrendered.What This Means for UsDoes this mean every believer is called to sell everything? Not necessarily. As the NIV Study Bible notes, Jesus's command applied directly to this man's spiritual condition. But the principle still stands: anything we cling to more tightly than Christ can become a barrier to faith.After the man walked away, Jesus warned His disciples: “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” Wealth is not evil, but it has the unique power to enslave us.So the question for us is this: What competes for your devotion? What gives you a sense of identity or security apart from Christ?Jesus's words to the Rich Young Ruler are both sobering and full of hope. Wealth can blind us to our need for God, but surrendering to Christ leads to true life. The invitation is the same today: Will we cling to temporary treasures, or embrace the eternal treasure of knowing Him?Because the problem isn't wealth, the problem is worship.———————————————————————————————————————At FaithFi, we often talk about being “rich toward God,” a phrase Jesus used in Luke 12 when warning about the Rich Fool.

With this project, Gregory is not only telling an intriguing story but also building a bridge between art and community through crowdfunding on WeFunder, where anyone can invest in the film for as little as $100.The film, a 90s-era psychological thriller, follows three high school seniors in a post-industrial East Coast town as they navigate a series of events after witnessing a murder. Gregory explained that the story draws on his own experiences growing up in Norristown, as well as his observations of the town's transformation. “This story came to me based on a lot of kind of past experiences. And I just took that and kind of heightened it into fiction,” Gregory shared.After spending a decade in Los Angeles honing his skills in acting and directing—two of his films even premiered at Cannes—Gregory returned to his roots in Pennsylvania. Inspired by the town's history and architecture, he envisioned Elmwood Park as more than just a thrilling night at the movies. “It's not just an exciting kind of thriller of a film… but it also could serve over time as like an architectural time capsule of this place,” he said.Crowdfunding plays a pivotal role in turning this vision into reality. Gregory saw platforms like WeFunder as a way to democratize investing in film. “What I liked about it is… you don't just get a T-shirt. You get actual ownership in the film and can collect on it for the rest of your life,” he explained. By inviting the community to invest, he hopes to inspire others to pursue creative endeavors, just as he was inspired by local role models like Kate Flannery, a fellow Norristown native and actor known for The Office.Gregory's approach is refreshingly inclusive. He shared, “Even if it makes one kid around here think that they can make a film… I think that's super important.” By leveraging crowdfunding to connect with his community, Gregory is creating an opportunity for people to feel both figuratively and literally invested in the film.Filmmaking is no small feat, but Gregory's blend of creativity, vulnerability, and community-focused strategy is proof that art can thrive outside traditional Hollywood systems. Visit to learn more about this project and how you can be part of it.tl;dr:Gregory Falatek shares how Elmwood Park, a psychological thriller, draws on his hometown's history.Crowdfunding on WeFunder enables the public to invest in Elmwood Park for as little as $100.Gregory highlights how returning to Norristown inspired him to preserve local architecture and culture.Vulnerability, Gregory's superpower, fuels his creativity and helps him connect with others authentically.Gregory invites everyone to join the project, emphasizing community impact and the democratization of film.How to Develop Vulnerability As a SuperpowerGregory's superpower is his ability to embrace vulnerability, a skill he credits for enhancing his creativity and human connection. He explained, “I think my creativity comes from being open and vulnerable, actually, in my art.” Gregory shared that growing up, he struggled with being misunderstood, which made him hesitant to open up. Over time, he learned that vulnerability allows for deeper connections, both in life and on screen. “You need this deep sense of vulnerability to make [characters] human… even if you're being funny about it,” he said.Gregory recalled his first feature film as a pivotal moment where he embraced vulnerability. Playing a “burnout type” character, he had to let go of self-consciousness to bring authenticity to the role. Surrounded by cameras and crew, he stayed true to his character, ensuring the performance resonated with humanity and heart. His openness not only elevated his acting but also helped him connect with the people around him, demonstrating the power of vulnerability in creating impactful art.Actionable Tips for Developing Vulnerability:Open Up in Everyday Conversations: Practice vulnerability by being honest and open in your daily interactions with others.Avoid Judging Yourself or Others: Approach creative work and relationships without judgment, allowing for genuine connections.Learn from Observation: Pay attention to how others express vulnerability, and apply those insights to your own life.Embrace Discomfort: Accept that being vulnerable may feel awkward at first, but it leads to growth and connection.By following Gregory's example and advice, you can make vulnerability a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileGregory Falatek (he/him):CEO/Founder (Writer/Director), Elmwood Park Film LLCAbout Elmwood Park Film LLC: Elmwood Park' is a psychological thriller, written and directed by Gregory Falatek, that is disrupting Hollywood in Norristown, Pennsylvania.

In this episode, I share the story behind why I built BudgetDog and the mission that drives me every single day. From starting out $304,000 in debt as a 22-year-old CPA, to becoming a millionaire in seven years, I explain how personal finance systems transformed my life—and why I knew I had to share them with others.   This isn't about quick fixes or get-rich-quick schemes. It's about creating simple, automated systems that work for real families in the real world. I also talk about the deeper “why” behind my work—from my daughter Logan's fight with Dravet Syndrome, to our family's $1 million donation goal, to the long-term community we're building through BudgetDog Academy.     Episode Timeline & Highlights [0:00] – Introduction [1:33] – My own financial struggles after college and the wake-up call that changed everything [2:29] – How I paid off $304K in debt and built a millionaire net worth in just seven years [3:06] – From sharing online casually to building a national bestseller and full-time business [5:05] – Why our six-month roadmap works for families at every stage [7:04] – The power of simplifying and automating your money systems [9:24] – Why money matters when it comes to making an impact—especially in the fight against Dravet Syndrome [13:29] – Reframing budgeting: not restriction, but aligning your money with your values [16:15] – The hidden burden of decision fatigue—and how automation solves it [18:16] – Why I pour into students even when it's not the most “commercially profitable” choice [23:32] – Why I don't view other financial platforms as competition [25:25] – Fatherhood, motivation, and building for the next generation     Key Takeaways   Systems Beat Discipline – Financial freedom comes from automation and simplification, not white-knuckled discipline.

The less you do, the better your results.” “If you don't bring the best of yourself, you'll get a lax version of the next generation.”     Links & Resources   My book, The Roadmap to Financial Freedom: https://budgetdog.com/book Learn more about BudgetDog Academy: https://budgetdog.com Follow me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/budgetdog       If this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone who needs encouragement on their financial journey.

“If you're trying to find the very best growth businesses on the planet – a benchmark isn't a sensible place to start.” Baillie Gifford's chief executive Tim Campbell explains the advantages of our style of active investing, the importance of long-termism and how AI fits into our process. Background:In April, Tim Campbell became Baillie Gifford's chief executive and one of its managing partners. Earlier in his career, he was an investment manager before switching to Client Services, where he led our Emerging Markets Clients Team.In this podcast, he explores how our investment teams adopted a conviction-led approach that centres on each company's merits, regardless of its weighting in benchmark stock indices. He describes what we mean by long-termism and the importance of having the right incentives in place. And he explains why being “out of step” with some market trends helps us serve both society and our clients' interests.The second half of the show focuses on changes afoot, ranging from further private company investments – including a recent holding in AI lab Anthropic – to our own adoption of artificial intelligence technologies and an exploration of new ways to access our strategies. Resources:Baillie Gifford: Actual investorsDisruption WeekDrayton and MackenzieOne Useful Thing: Ethan Mollick's blogOur historyPrivate company investmentsShort Briefings on Long Term ThinkingThe Friction Project Companies mentioned include:AnthropicAmazonMercadoLibreNVIDIARunway AITimecodes00:00 Introduction02:10 From music in the Middle East to investing in Edinburgh03:15 Making the move to Client Services05:00 Rewriting the investment playbook06:30 Client hunger for benchmark agnosticism07:40 Active versus passive investing10:20 A mutual understanding with clients11:55 Drawdowns and hold discipline14:30 Defining long-termism17:00 Private company investments19:30 Investing in Anthropic and Runway AI24:55 ‘The mission doesn't change'27:35 Book choice

Mobile publishing is a beast of its own, built on speed, data, and above all, user acquisition. In this episode, host Alexandra Takei, Director at Ruckus Games, sits down with Asi Burak, Chief Business Officer of Tilting Point, to unpack the future of mobile publishing and why UA financing has become one of the most talked-about trends in gaming today.Tilting Point, a top 50 global mobile publisher, recently launched a $150M UA fund this past March. In the past, TP made its name scaling live titles with marketing muscle and pioneering UA financing before it was industry standard. Today, that model has become mainstream. Asi explains how this structure works (non-dilutive, risk-sharing, and predictable) and why even large developers now see it as a smart capital allocation tool rather than just a lifeline for smaller studios. The conversation also covers ATT's seismic impact on mobile, Tilting Point's pivot from third-party publishing to 3rd party UA financing and first-party acquisitions, and how IP-driven strategies amplify UA effectiveness. We discuss what is attractive today in UA financing and how to effectively structure an organization to run two parallel investment pillars. We'd also like to thank Heroic Labs for making this episode possible!
