Investing in private markets has become one of the most sought-after opportunities for sophisticated investors. But while venture capital has created extraordinary wealth for some investors, success isn't simply about finding the next great startup. That's why I'm excited to have Yotis Tonnelier on the podcast. Yotis is the co-founder and managing partner of YXS Capital, a venture capital firm focused on later-stage technology companies where he has delivered a 14.6x gross TVPI with zero losses across 14+ companies, and backed five unicorns including Mercury, Canva, and Wise.After exiting multiple businesses of his own, Yotis has developed a unique investment approach that combines the discipline of private equity with the growth potential of venture capital by helping identify high-quality companies long before they become household names.In this conversation, we discuss the growing role of secondary markets, the sectors Yotis believes offer the greatest long-term opportunities, and the principles that have shaped his investment philosophy throughout his career.In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ Why Yotis believes investing after product-market fit can dramatically improve your odds of success while still capturing venture-level returns.✅ How relationships, reputation, and trust helped him create access to some of the world's most sought-after private investments✅ Why aligning incentives between fund managers and investors may be one of the biggest competitive advantages in venture capital today.Show Notes: LifestyleInvestor.com/303Tax Strategy MasterclassIf you're interested in learning more about Tax Strategy and how YOU can apply 28 of the best, most effective strategies right away, check out our BRAND NEW Tax Strategy Masterclass: www.lifestyleinvestor.com/taxStrategy Session For a limited time, my team is hosting free, personalized consultation calls to learn more about your goals and determine which of our courses or masterminds will get you to the next level.

Charles-Henry Monchau joins Alan Dunne to discuss how geopolitics, artificial intelligence and structural economic shifts are reshaping global investing. They explore the AI supercycle, the changing balance between the US, China and Europe, sovereign debt, inflation, commodities and the future of asset allocation. Charles explains why investors should focus on long-term structural themes rather than short-term market noise and why the biggest opportunities may lie beyond the current AI infrastructure boom. The conversation also examines Europe's competitiveness, China's innovation strategy and the risks that could define the next phase of the investment cycle.-----50 YEARS OF TREND FOLLOWING BOOK AND BEHIND-THE-SCENES VIDEO FOR ACCREDITED INVESTORS - CLICK HERE-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT's TRUE ? – most CIO's read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “Ten Reasons to Add Trend Following to Your Portfolio” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to info@toptradersunplugged.comAnd please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Alan on Twitter.Follow Charles on LinkedIn.Episode TimeStamps: 00:00 - Charles-Henry Monchau's path into investing03:49 - The new geopolitical order and global investing09:02 - Is artificial intelligence inflationary or deflationary?12:49 - The AI CapEx supercycle and future market winners18:41 - Are markets in an earnings bubble?21:27 - Capital spending, debt issuance and market liquidity25:22 - Sovereign debt and the future of asset allocation28:13 - Gold, fiscal dominance and reserve currencies32:27 - Kevin Warsh and the future of the Federal Reserve40:36 - China's innovation strategy and investment outlook43:49 - Building portfolios around AI winners and losers48:12 - Commodities, biotech and defense opportunities51:10 - Can Europe remain competitive?57:23 - The biggest risks facing investors today58:45 - Career advice for the next generation of investorsCopyright © 2025 – CMC AG – All Rights Reserved----PLUS: Whenever you're ready... here are 3 ways I can help you in your investment Journey:1. eBooks that cover key topics that you need to know about In my eBooks, I put together some key discoveries and things I have learnt during the more than 3 decades I have worked in the Trend Following industry, which I hope you will find useful.

Almost every advisor hits a point where the grind starts to wear on you, the finish line feels hundreds of miles away, and the urge to give up starts creeping in.This week, Ariana Luterman joins me to talk about what it took to go from being completely bedridden for a year to breaking two Guinness world-records by completing six Ironmans on six continents.We get into what happens when motivation disappears, why you need to have belief before there's any evidence you should, and how to know when to keep pushing instead of changing the goal.We also talk about one of the biggest mistakes I see advisors make as they grow: treating business like a solo sport.Ariana's story is a powerful example of what happens when the goal is yours, but the weight of getting there isn't all on your shoulders. And there's a lesson in that for any advisor trying to build something bigger than themselves.3 Insights From This Week's Episode…#1.) Confidence Is Built Long Before Results Show UpExtraordinary goals rarely come with immediate proof that you're on the right path. Ariana shares why learning to believe in yourself before anyone else does became one of the most important skills on her journey—and why advisors often face a similar challenge as they build their businesses.#2.) The Right Mindset Can Become Your Greatest Competitive AdvantageWhen obstacles appear, most people focus on circumstances. We discuss how intentional mental habits, daily rituals, and disciplined self-talk can shape performance long before external results ever catch up.#3.) Growth Often Begins Where Comfort EndsEvery meaningful pursuit eventually becomes uncomfortable. Ariana reflects on what happens when excuses become easy, why resilience is developed through adversity, and how embracing difficult seasons can transform both business and life.SPONSORED BY BELAYIf you're an advisor and you're still scheduling your own appointments, sending your own follow-up emails, or dealing with other tasks keeping you from bringing on other clients, you're the bottleneck.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Sally Berry, Tourism Director for Great Lakes USA and Cruise the Great Lakes. Sally shares how an unexpected career path led her into tourism and eventually to one of the industry's most collaborative regional organizations. We discuss the power of partnerships, the rapid growth of Great Lakes cruising, and why thinking beyond traditional destination boundaries creates stronger visitor experiences and more resilient communities. Sally also offers practical insights into building meaningful collaborations that benefit destinations, visitors, and the tourism industry as a whole. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How Sally's unconventional career journey shaped her collaborative leadership style Why regional partnerships create greater value for international visitors and industry stakeholders How Cruise the Great Lakes is helping destinations prepare for continued cruise tourism growth What memorable destination welcomes look like, and why they leave a lasting impression on visitors Why successful collaborations depend on a diversity of perspectives and shared goals How creative partnerships across states, provinces, and organizations lead to stronger tourism products What opportunities Sally sees ahead for the Great Lakes region through sustainability, stewardship, and collaboration Collaboration Is the Competitive Advantage Throughout our conversation, Sally makes a compelling case that collaboration isn't simply a nice idea—it's one of tourism's greatest competitive advantages. Leading initiatives that span eight states and two Canadian provinces requires balancing different priorities while helping partners recognize the value of working toward common goals. Rather than expecting every destination to participate in every initiative, Sally focuses on matching opportunities with the destinations best positioned to benefit, creating stronger outcomes for both individual communities and the region as a whole. She also shares how collaboration flourishes when organizations embrace different perspectives. Strong partnerships need enthusiastic champions, thoughtful protectors, and even healthy skeptics who ask the difficult questions. Those varied viewpoints ultimately strengthen projects, deepen trust, and create initiatives that are more successful over the long term. Turning First Impressions Into Lasting Connections As Great Lakes cruising continues its impressive growth, Sally shares how destinations are embracing the opportunity to create unforgettable welcomes for visitors arriving by ship. Communities are greeting passengers with local musicians, historical interpreters, regional cuisine, and experiences that immediately reflect the character of the destination. These authentic touches create meaningful first impressions while giving visitors a genuine sense of place. Beyond the excitement of arrival day, Sally explores the broader impact cruise tourism has on local economies. Many passengers spend additional time in port cities before or after their voyages, and countless visitors discover communities they later return to explore in greater depth. For many Great Lakes destinations, cruise tourism is becoming an important gateway for introducing travelers to places they may never have considered visiting before. Investing in Relationships That Strengthen the Industry One theme consistently surfaces throughout Sally's career: tourism is built on relationships. From mentors who helped her navigate unfamiliar areas of the industry to the connections she now creates through webinars, trade events, and industry education, she believes sharing knowledge strengthens the entire tourism ecosystem. Helping new professionals build confidence today creates stronger collaborators for tomorrow. Looking ahead, Sally is optimistic about the future of the Great Lakes region. As travelers seek authentic experiences beyond traditional gateway destinations, the region offers abundant natural beauty, vibrant communities, rich history, and distinctive cultural experiences. By continuing to invest in partnerships, sustainability, and destination stewardship, Great Lakes communities are positioning themselves for long-term success while demonstrating that the strongest destinations are the ones that work together.

Despite completing nearly 700 value-add properties, he openly admits he has never liked the work of real estate—he simply built systems, processes, and teams so he doesn't have to do it himself. A straight-talking operator focused on financial freedom and education, Tarl also helps raise millions for veteran charities through his events.TIMESTAMPS0:40 - Welcome to the Mailbox Money Show1:20 - How Events Transformed Nate's Career & Network2:36 - Origin Story of Limitless Expo3:43 - Why Host a Nearly $2M Event Despite the Pain5:21 - Creating Events You Actually Want to Attend7:22 - Best Way to Leverage High-Level Events9:05 - What NOT to Do When Approaching High-Value People13:56 - Why Limitless Exists: Education Over Selling16:14 - Raising Millions for Charity Through Limitless17:39 - “I Hate Real Estate” – Building an Empire Anyway18:46 - Building Systems So You Don't Have to Do the Work20:36 - Limits of True Passivity in Value-Add Real Estate22:42 - Private Lending & Investing in Operators24:32 - 1031 Strategies for More Passive Assets26:51 - Critical Tips for Successful Out-of-State Investing30:15 - Nate's Takeaway: Success Despite Hating the Work30:52 - Bronson's Takeaway: Systems, “Who Not How,” and Buying Back Time31:43 - Episode Wrap-Up & ClosingCONNECT WITH THE GUESTWebsite: https://www.tarlyarber.com/Instagram: @tarlyarberLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tarl-yarber-7584a847/#MailboxMoney#RealEstateInvesting#LimitlessExpo#PassiveIncome#EventNetworking

Most companies do not last. A huge share of the biggest names in the world vanish within a few decades. The Smith & Oby Company has been running since 1898. In this episode of Service Business Mastery, Tersh Blissett and Josh Crouch sit down with Jake Wattenbarger, president of Smith & Oby, a Cleveland mechanical contractor that has stayed relevant for 125 years by reading the market before it forces the issue, and by building systems and a culture that outlast any one person. Jake spent nearly a decade as an Army logistics officer before the trades, and it shows. He gets into why you never cross the finish line, how to build a business you can hand down instead of sell off, why you do not have to sell to make real money, and how culture and a talent pipeline keep a union shop winning the big jobs. If you want to build a trades business that lasts for generations, not just one you flip, this is the blueprint. This episode is brought to you in partnership with Upfrog, one of our show partners.

We are continuing our investigation into the implications of the Economic Singularity, the time when we need a new economic system because full automation by AI means that people can no longer obtain the resources they need by doing jobs.Our guest today is Ewan McMillan, the founder of New Gradient, an Edinburgh-based consultancy that builds AI systems for a variety of industries, from biotech to mining. He took a degree in theoretical physics at the University of Edinburgh, and since then he has spent seven years delivering applied AI R&D. We wanted to have Ewan on the show because he also writes about the economics of AI from the perspective of someone who is actually implementing it. This spring he posted a series of thought-provoking articles called “The Economics of AGI”.Selected follow-ups:New Gradient - Company websiteEwan McMillan - LinkedIn"The Economics of AGI" - Part 1  of Ewan's essay"The Innovation Paradox" - Part 2 of the essay"The Allocation Stack" - Part 3 of the essay"Bitter lesson" (general AIs will in due course out-perform specific AIs) - Wikipedia"AlphaZero" (covers the chess match vs. Stockfish) - Wikipedia"Smartphones and Beyond: Lessons from the remarkable rise and fall of Symbian" - book by David"Culture series" (about science fiction series written by Iain M Banks) - Wikipedia"Aghion–Howitt model"  - Wikipedia2025 Nobel Prize in Economics (recipients include Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt)"The First Solo Unicorns Are Here: Meet the One-Person Companies Racing to $1B in 2026" - Founder Institute"Understanding Alpha in Investing" - Investopedia"'We Must Act Now': Sixteen Nobel Laureates Join Leading Economists and AI Researchers in Call to Prepare for AI's Economic Transformation" - Stanford Digital Economy LabMusic: Spike Protein, by Koi Discovery, available under CC0 1.0 Public Domain Declaration

Most eCom marketers are optimizing for the wrong number, and a real CFO explains exactly how to fix that! Our good friend Abir Syed has a rare take on how to scale brands: he's run an eCommerce brand, built a performance marketing agency, and now runs a fractional CFO firm specializing in eCom. In this episode, he breaks down why MER is basically useless, what cohort profit actually tells you, and the three-pillar finance framework that gives marketers and CFOs a shared language for growth. Nate also gets uncomfortably personal about his own brand's cash flow situation. You'll walk away understanding how to set real scaling targets, why over-revving your marketing engine costs you money, how to predict LTV decay as you shift from organic to paid customers, and what questions to actually ask your finance team. 00:00 Why selling out early isn't the flex you think it is01:45 Introducing Abir Syed — the CFO who hates accounting03:30 Why 80% of your business story lives in the finances05:30 The #1 thing to get right before anything else: inventory costing07:00 Why MER is a useless metric (hot take, but hear him out)08:30 How dropping MER led to 130% growth in one year09:15 Cohort profit: Abir's favorite metric explained13:00 Over-revving the engine — the hidden way brands lose money scaling16:30 Incrementality testing vs. the scaling target table18:00 LTV decay: what happens when you go from organic to paid acquisition20:00 Paid customers get stolen by ads — a concept that breaks your brain23:00 The 3 things a CFO and CMO should never fight about24:30 Pillar 2: Investing in the marketing engine (creative, tools, talent)26:00 Pillar 3: Cash flow strategy and payback periods33:30 Expense leverage — making sure every dollar has a job37:00 Nate's regret: not taking big shots during a 2.5-year hot streak38:30 The $100K YouTube deal that looked like a disaster until Q439:30 The one thing to do this week if you're looking at your numbers

Sean Brodrick, Editor of Wealth Megatrends, Supercycle Investor, Resource Trader, and contributing analyst to Weiss Ratings Daily, joins us to discuss his investing outlook across multiple resource and general equity sectors in the current macroeconomic and geopolitical environment. He shares how he is managing his portfolio as it relates to gold, silver, PM stocks, copper and copper stocks, critical minerals stocks, space stocks, and defense stocks.   The conversation kicks off around the strong recovery move higher in the precious metals sector, breaking up through overhead resistance and changing the tone and sentiment in the sector.   Sean shares his outlook on what fundamentals are driving gold, silver, and the PM stocks up so suddenly. He is cautious that short-term economic data could trigger a retracement back lower, but also shares the reasons why he believes this move in the precious metals complex could have legs for the some time. He has been constructive on the upcoming Q2 earnings which has paid off over the last couple weeks, where producer margins, revenues, and free cash flows were still very robust. Sean is still mostly animated by revenue-generating gold and silver producers, and cautions investors to be weary of the temptation of many pre-revenue juniors to use this bounce to raise money, diluting current shareholders as they issue more shares.   Next we dove into the incredible technical strength this year in copper as an energy metals, but contrasted that against the more tame response overall by the copper stocks. Sean provided some compelling stats for copper demand across many sectors, and contrasted that against the supply deficit from copper miners as an opportunity for investors to pay close attention to.   With regards to the critical minerals stocks, we have seen a solid bounce over the last couple weeks, in tandem with the other metals, pondering if this is all part of a huge metals melt-up move. Sean points out the geopolitical factors and supply chain constraints that are underpinning the continued interest and attractive fundamental backdrop across a range of critical minerals. We also discuss the significance of the US government continuing to directly support the development of key critical minerals projects and domestic processing.   Wrapping up, we touch upon the blast up higher in broad US equities markets from last week and into early this week.  While there are many areas of the markets doing well and providing opportunity, Sean has remained more animated by the recent rebound in the space economy stocks, as well as the traditional and next generation defense stocks.     Click here to follow along with Sean's work at Weiss Ratings Daily and Wealth Megatrends .

Key Discussion Points: Breakdown of Drill Hole 132: Mike details the key intercept, including 218.6 metres of 1.25 g/t gold, and a deeper higher-grade interval, including 44.4 metres of 3.86 g/t gold. Underground Resource Potential: Insight into how deeper, higher-grade mineralization outside the current resource area could pave the way for a future underground resource estimate. Geological Significance of Hole 129: Exploring the extension of mineralization toward the Saddle zone and how this data helps connect distinct deposit areas while reducing overall waste ratios. Scale of Active Drill Program: An overview of operations across Blackjack, Saddle, Eiger, and Rhosgobel, plus details on the newly mobilized 7th drill rig and upcoming news flow.   If you have any follow up questions for the team at Sitka Gold please email me at Fleck@kereport.com.    Click here visit the Sitka Gold website to learn more about the Company - https://sitkagoldcorp.com/   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:  The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/  Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/   Investment Disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security or investment product.

Mark Cruise, Executive Chairman of BP Silver Corp. (TSX.V: BPAG) (OTCQB: BPSCF), joins me for a big picture overview of the value proposition in the Company, why he joined the board and believes in the team, why he is bullish on discoveries being made in Bolivia as an emerging jurisdiction, the potential he sees across multiple targets at the Cosuño Silver Project, and then we dive into an updated exploration strategy for 2026.   The 2,000-meter Phase 2 drill program is well underway at Cosuño, and is just the first part of a broader ~8,000 m diamond drilling campaign anticipated for 2026.   The Phase 2 drill program is designed to test the broader scale potential of the Cosuño lithocap-hosted hydrothermal system and build on the positive results of the Company's Phase 1 drill program; and will comprise approximately 20 to 24 diamond drill holes. The first drill hole is currently following up on high-grade silver mineralization intersected at the Pocañita Chica target, where discovery drilling returned 5 m grading 600.40 g/t silver, including 1 m grading 1,655 g/t silver.   We then discuss the series of other exploration workstreams that will be commencing over the next couple months, such as: the MAG Survey, IP Survey, more mapping and sampling. Together, these datasets are expected to improve significantly the Company's understanding of the geometry, continuity, scale, and tenor of the vein and breccia systems across Cosuño.   Once this new data gets incorporated into the geological model, then it will lead into prioritizing the targets for the 6,000-meter Phase 3 drill program later this year. Tim also highlighted that Pocañita Grande will be getting its maiden drilling during the Phase 3 program, now that they have been developing roads and site access to this important target.   Click here to follow the latest news from BP Silver Corp       For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Our CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist Mike Wilson discusses a new market cycle, in which investors are demanding more than just growth from companies.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Mike Wilson: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley's CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist. Today on the podcast I'll look at an important shift in what the market wants to see from companies going forward. It's Tuesday, August 11th at 11:30 am in New York. So, let's get after it.This week I am going back to our broadening thesis – but with a slightly different twist. Earlier in the year, broadening was about beta. It was about the market moving beyond a narrow set of mega-cap winners and rewarding economically sensitive areas as the rolling recovery took hold. In the last few episodes I've talked about how that phase is now over. And we're moving from an early-cycle broadening into a mid-cycle quality rotation. In short, the market is no longer demanding just growth – but growth with durable earnings, strong margins, and free cash flow. To be clear, the broadening in earnings is still very much alive. Russell 3000 median stock earnings growth is running at 15 percent, the strongest since 2021; while median sales growth is at 8 percent, the best since 2023. At the same time, 87 percent of S&P 500 companies are beating earnings expectations this quarter, and earnings revisions breadth has rebounded to 23 percent, with 76 percent of industry groups showing positive revisions breadth. However, headline earnings are no longer enough for stock outperformance. The market is saying, ‘Show me the money'— and that's exactly what should happen in a mid-cycle transition. When companies raise both earnings and free cash flow estimates, they are rewarded. When they only raise earnings and not free cash flow, the market is much less forgiving. Investors are no longer paying indiscriminately for growth. They want cash conversion. This is also why I think AI adoption remains such an important theme. The market is increasingly rewarding companies that can demonstrate real efficiency gains from AI, not just talk about the open-ended opportunity in abstract terms. That is a very different phase for the AI cycle. The first phase was about building the infrastructure. The next phase is about who uses it well. Companies that can translate AI adoption into better margins, better productivity, and better free cash flow should continue to be rewarded. In other words, AI is becoming less about the promise and more about the evidence.That framework tells us where to be positioned. I continue to favor quality and AI adopters. Within Financials, I prefer large-cap Financial Services, particularly Insurance and Capital Markets exposed businesses, where earnings revisions are inflecting and our regime analysis remains supportive. Within cyclicals, I like Discretionary Goods, where the wallet-share shift from services to goods, improved pricing, and better earnings revisions all point to catch-up potential. In Tech, I continue to prefer hyperscalers over semis. Semis can still participate tactically, especially after recent momentum unwinds, but the hyperscalers offer a better multi-month risk-reward. They have resilient core businesses, attractive relative valuation, and underappreciated optionality around AI-related ROI and adoption. Just as important, they are not only enablers of AI, but they are early adopters. They have the flexibility to spend less if the market becomes more demanding about capex discipline. In terms of remaining market risks for this year, I'm still watching interest rates and oil very closely. A gradual rise in nominal yields alongside strong economic and earnings data is not necessarily bearish. In fact, historically, that has been one of the better environments for equities because it brings back my ‘run it hot' theme. Stronger nominal growth supports revenues and earnings. The problem is not the level of rates. It is the pace of change. If back-end yields rise too quickly, the cost of capital becomes a headwind for stock valuations.Bottom line, the broadening is still happening, but the market is raising the bar. Early-cycle beta is giving way to mid-cycle quality. Earnings are broadening, but free cash flow is also necessary to be fully rewarded. AI is still an important market driver, but the market wants measurable benefits and the leadership is becoming more selective within sectors rather than across them. This shift may make the market feel less euphoric in the short term, but also healthier and more sustainable in my view. This is not a market that is simply chasing momentum any more. It is starting to separate the companies that can simply talk about growth from the companies that can convert it into durable free cash flow and longer-term value.Thanks for tuning in; I hope you found it informative and useful. Let us know what you think by leaving us a review. And if you find Thoughts on the Market worthwhile, tell a friend or colleague to try it out!

What if becoming "good with money" had less to do with spending less—and everything to do with learning how to spend well? In this episode, I'm joined by Jesse Mecham, founder of the budgeting software YNAB and author of the new book Never Worry About Money Again. Jesse has helped millions of people change their relationship with money, and his approach challenges much of what traditional personal finance has taught us. The central idea is simple but powerful: Money is meant to be spent. Every money decision is ultimately a spending decision. Saving is spending later. Investing is spending much later. Giving money away means choosing what mission or person will spend it next. So instead of asking whether spending is good or bad, Jesse encourages us to ask one three-word question: What's it for? That question helps you move away from guilt, deprivation, and financial confusion—and toward clarity, confidence, and intentional spending. In this conversation, we discuss: Why being good with money is a learnable skill What Jesse means when he says "your money is you" Why earning more does not automatically eliminate money worry How restrictive budgeting can make you feel trapped rather than empowered Why there is rarely such a thing as a truly "surprise" expense How to stop living paycheck to paycheck by getting one month ahead Why your spending should reflect your values, personality, and current season of life The difference between spending based on social expectations and spending authentically Why more money only amplifies the spending habits you already have How to spend money you actually have instead of relying on future income If you earn good money but still experience the constant low-grade hum of financial stress, this episode will help you rethink what's actually causing it. You may not need more money. You may need to decide what the money you already have is for. Learn more about Jesse's new book here. Start your free 34-day trial with YNAB here.

Diversification is a key part of wise investing, and for many portfolios, that means looking beyond U.S. markets. But Christian investors may wonder whether they can pursue international opportunities while still aligning their investments with biblical convictions. Benjamin Bailey, Vice President of Investments at Praxis Investment Management, says the answer is yes. Faith-based investing can extend across a portfolio—including its international holdings. What Is Faith-Based Investing? Faith-based investing begins with the belief that financial decisions can be informed by faith. Rather than viewing investment returns as the only consideration, this approach seeks to balance two priorities: putting financial resources to productive use while also considering the impact investments may have on individuals, communities, and God's creation. For Christian investors, that means asking not only, “How might this investment perform?” but also, “What am I supporting with the resources God has entrusted to me?” Interest in this approach continues to grow. Bailey points to estimates suggesting that Christian households collectively hold trillions of dollars in investments, creating significant opportunity for believers who want their portfolios to reflect their convictions. Why Invest Internationally? International investments can play an important role in a well-diversified portfolio. Different countries and regions do not always experience the same economic conditions or market cycles at the same time. Investing across global markets can therefore give investors exposure to companies, industries, and opportunities they might not encounter through U.S. investments alone. That principle applies to faith-based investors as well. If an investor wants biblical values reflected throughout a portfolio, those considerations should not necessarily stop with domestic holdings. Until recently, however, Christian investors have had fewer faith-based choices in the international marketplace. “People want choices, and people want options,” Bailey says. The Challenges of Faith-Based Investing Overseas Applying faith-based investment criteria internationally can be more complicated than doing so in the United States. Investors need reliable information about companies around the world, including their business activities and practices. Cultural differences, regulatory environments, and varying levels of corporate disclosure can make that research more difficult. That is why investment managers often rely on global research organizations with experience evaluating companies across countries and industries. There is another challenge as well: certain markets may contain a higher concentration of companies involved in business activities that conflict with an investor's faith-based guidelines. Depending on the screening approach being used, that can limit the available investment universe. These challenges make careful research and a clearly defined investment process especially important. Expanding Faith-Based Choices With PRXI Praxis recently expanded its international offerings with the launch of PRXI, a faith-based international exchange-traded fund. The new ETF is designed to address an area where investors have historically had relatively few faith-based options. Praxis has been investing internationally for years through its international mutual fund. PRXI brings that experience into an ETF structure while using what Praxis describes as an optimized index approach. Rather than attempting to dramatically outperform a market benchmark through active stock selection, the strategy seeks performance that is generally similar to its benchmark while incorporating Praxis' faith-based investment criteria. For investors who want international diversification without moving away from their convictions, that approach provides another potential tool for building a portfolio aligned with their values. Faithful Stewardship Across the Portfolio Faith-based investing does not have to stop at the water's edge. International diversification may be appropriate for many investors, and the growing number of faith-based investment options means Christians increasingly have opportunities to pursue diversification while remaining attentive to what their investments support. As with any investment decision, the goal is not simply to choose a product because it carries a faith-based label. Investors should understand the strategy, risks, expenses, diversification benefits, and underlying holdings and consider how each investment fits within their overall financial plan. Ultimately, investing is another area of stewardship. The resources God provides can be managed with wisdom, intentionality, and a desire to honor Him—not only in how much we earn, but also in how and where we invest. Praxis Investment Management has offered faith-based investment solutions since 1994, incorporating approaches that extend beyond investment screening to include shareholder engagement and other forms of impact.

What's the best way to invest for that, and can I use my RMD to help fund it? My husband and I are 64, retired, debt-free, and have substantial savings, including about $700,000 in TSP. We've never worked with a financial planner and are considering a Certified Kingdom Advisor, though none are local. How should we think about managing these assets from here, and where might Roth IRAs fit into the plan? We rarely use credit and haven't needed much of it in decades. Is there any downside to freezing our credit reports? We have an investment account whose earnings we give to ministry, and over about five years we've given away roughly what we originally invested. Should we keep the principal invested and continue giving the proceeds, or liquidate it and give the full amount now? We also planned to leave it to our children with instructions to give it to ministries after we die—does that make sense?

Natural and human-made extreme weather events are disrupting food systems worldwide, threatening the long-term economic stability and health of already vulnerable populations. Across the globe, 80 percent of the poorest live in rural communities and rely on smallholder farming for their household food and income. And smallholder farmers produce around one-third of the total share of the world's food, yet are disproportionately affected by climate risks, uncertainty, and poverty, often having limited resources to adapt to these changes. Then how are these communities building resilience and developing better strategies to cope with a changing climate? This panel brings in two perspectives within the climate field: financial need in scaling climate solutions, and research on how climate change impacts agricultural systems and human health. Mercedes de la Vega is an associate director of climate partnerships at Acumen, leading strategic partnerships at the intersection of climate solutions and poverty. She helps mobilize capital to serve businesses, driving change for the climate-vulnerable communities, strengthening their ecosystems. Tammy Nicastro is a researcher affiliate at UCSF who focuses on studies of climate-sensitive agricultural livelihood interventions and their impacts on improving agricultural productivity and income, and household nutrition and health for smallholder farmers to support individuals' health and nutritional needs. As climate pressures intensify, research, innovations, and investments in improving healthier food systems, improving health outcomes, and building resilience will shape the lives of future generations living in areas most vulnerable to climate disasters.

Market pullbacks may actually work in your favor at tax time, if your portfolio is set up to take advantage of them. That's where direct indexing comes in. It's not about trying to time the market. It's a disciplined way to capture tax losses along the way, while helping to keep your investment mix and expected returns where you want them.  In this episode of Off The Wall, David B. Armstrong, CFA and Nate Tonsager, CIPM, CFA break down why direct indexing is far more than a tax tool; it's a customizable strategy for every stage of your financial life. They explain how to build a "tax war chest" to offset future windfalls, ways to transition between portfolios or advisors without triggering a massive tax hit, and how to think about withdrawing cash in retirement. The TLDR: Direct indexing turns market sell-offs into tax-saving opportunities without pulling you out of the market. Whether you're building wealth, switching strategies, or funding retirement, harvesting losses helps keep your return profile intact and give you more control over your  tax bill. Investing is not just about what you make; it's about what you get to keep.     Please see important podcast disclosure information at https://monumentwealthmanagement.com/disclosures   Episode Timeline/Key Highlights:  1:28 - Why Direct Indexing Matters 3:04 - How Tax Loss Harvesting Works 8:37 - The Hidden Value Of Customization 11:57 - Accumulation Phase And Tax War Chest 16:07 - Switching Advisors Without A Tax Bomb 21:57 - Retirement Cash Needs And Tax Control 24:41 - Timing Withdrawals To Maximize Offsets 26:18 - Important Disclosures 27:01 - Pogo Stick Analogy And Wrap-Up   Connect with Monument Wealth Management:    Visit our website: https://monumentwealthmanagement.com/   Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/monumentwealth/#   Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/monument-wealth-management/   Connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MonumentWealthManagement   Connect on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/MonumentWealth#Fit   Subscribe to our Private Wealth Newsletter: https://monumentwealthmanagement.com/subscribe/   Check out our Between Sips Podcast: Where Money Meets Meaning Because money without meaning never feels like wealth. https://monumentwealthmanagement.com/between-sips-podcast/   About "Off the Wall":    Markets move fast, and headlines rarely tell the full story.

Buying your first franchise is very different from buying your second, third, or fourth.   First-time franchise buyers often wrestle with fear, FOMO, passion, replacing their W-2 income, and finding the "next big thing." Experienced franchise owners tend to evaluate opportunities differently—looking harder at validation, risk, enterprise value, territory, systems, and long-term scalability.   In this episode of Franchise Secrets, Erik Van Horn and Bobby Brennan break down how the franchise investor mindset changes with experience, why even successful entrepreneurs can make emotional buying decisions, and what every franchise buyer should evaluate before signing.   You'll learn: • Why passion can cloud a franchise investment decision • How FOMO affects first-time buyers • Why experienced franchisees value validation • The risks of chasing emerging franchise trends • What "semi-absentee" really means • Why successful owners can become overconfident • How to think about multi-unit financial runway • What to validate before investing in a franchise   Timestamps: 00:00 First-Time vs. Experienced Franchise Buyers 02:41 The Danger of Buying a Franchise Based on Passion 06:40 Are Wellness Franchises the Next Big Thing? 09:51 Why Wealthy Investors Still Make Emotional Decisions 13:48 Stop Chasing the "Next Big Franchise" 17:34 The Truth About Semi-Absentee Franchises 21:34 What First-Time Buyers Actually Want 24:00 How Experienced Franchise Owners Think Differently 26:33 How Overconfidence Leads to Bad Franchise Decisions 30:43 The Financial Reality of Multi-Unit Franchising   Don't buy into the hype.
