A $19B liquidation wave hit crypto 10 days after Lighter's public mainnet—so we asked founder/CEO Vladimir Novakovski why they built a ZK L2 Perp DEX on Ethereum, how the escape hatch actually protects users, and what really happened under extreme stress. We dig into ADL vs. LLP, trader-first design, and why verifiability (not vibes) should govern order matching and liquidations. Vlad shares throughput targets, why Lighter chose custom ZK circuits over a generalized ZKVM, and what's next: Spot, universal cross-margin, and a ZKVM sidecar for a broader platform play. We close with lessons from the cascade, realistic tradeoffs of being an L2, and how L2Beat “stage upgrades” fit into the roadmap. ---

Want To Quit Your Job In The Next 6-18 Months Through Buying Commercial Real Estate & Small Businesses?

When your values aren't clear, it's easy to chase the wrong deals, hire the wrong people, and build a life and business that drains you.Today, I sit down with Robert Glazer—entrepreneur, bestselling author, and founder of Acceleration Partners—to explore how defining your personal core values can transform the way you lead, invest, and live.Robert built a $35M global company serving brands like Airbnb, Uber, and Adidas, but his greatest success came from understanding what he valued most, and aligning every decision around it.In his new book, The Compass Within, Robert reveals how your personal core values act as a decision-making compass for both business and life. We unpack how to use that same framework to hire the right people, choose the right investors, and build a life of freedom that truly aligns with who you are.In this episode, you'll learn: 1.) Why really company culture starts with core values — and how defining what you stand for (and what you don't) helps you attract the right people and repel the wrong ones.2.) What Robert learned from his own private-equity exit—how he structured the deal, picked the right partner, and avoided the mistakes most founders make.3.) How your personal values can help you invest smarter—filtering founders, partners, and deals that align with your principles, not just your profit goals.Show Notes: LifestyleInvestor.com/260Tax 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.

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Rick Rule to the show. Rick Rule is Investor, Speculator, Founder & CEO of Rule Investment Media. In this comprehensive discussion, Rule provides deep insights into commodity markets, focusing on gold, oil, and various other resources. Regarding gold, Rule believes the precious metal is positioned for significant growth over the next five to ten years. He anticipates a potential 75% decline in the US dollar's purchasing power, which could translate to a three-fold increase in gold's nominal price. Rule emphasizes that while gold's trajectory won't be a smooth ascent, investors should be prepared for volatility and cyclical movements. In the energy sector, Rule is particularly bullish on oil and gas. He argues that despite narratives about alternative energy, fossil fuels will remain the dominant global energy source for decades. He sees tremendous value in companies like Exxon, which he believes is trading at a 50% discount to its net present value. Rule suggests that the industry's ongoing infrastructure investments and technological advancements make oil and gas an attractive investment opportunity. Rule also shares perspectives on various commodities, including nickel, copper, zinc, and uranium. He highlights the significant underinvestment in these sectors over the past decades, which creates potential long-term investment opportunities. For instance, he sees a substantial copper supply deficit emerging in the next five years due to decades of underinvestment. Beyond commodities, Rule discusses his involvement with Rule Investment Media and Battle Bank, offering investors resources to analyze natural resource stocks and providing innovative banking services. He encourages investors to conduct thorough research, be patient, and look for opportunities in sectors experiencing market disfavor. Throughout the conversation, Rule's investment philosophy emphasizes understanding long-term trends, focusing on high-quality producers, and being willing to take calculated risks in undervalued sectors. His approach combines deep industry knowledge with a pragmatic, patient investment strategy.

When most people dream about launching a consumer product, they imagine seeing it on store shelves—but few realize what it actually takes to get there. The (painful) truth is, success in CPG isn't about having a great idea. It's about surviving the numbers. Most founders underestimate how much money, time, and data it really takes to earn that spot in a category. And in this business, “bootstrapping” isn't scrappy—it's risky. I've been there. Every year, 90% of new food and beverage products fail. Not because the products aren't good, but because they are under-resourced and lacking funding, velocity, or category dynamics.  They try to scale too fast, too wide, or without enough proof. They don't know what it really takes to get into a retailer, or which retailers are worth going after first. And unlike tech, it's much harder to get an early-stage consumer brand funded. Investors want traction, not potential. They want to see that your product moves off shelves, earns repeat customers, and grows a category. So what do you need to know before you raise? What actually makes investors want to bet on your brand? In this episode, I'm joined by Debbie Wildrick, a food and beverage veteran who's spent 30 years leading brands like Tropicana and 7-Eleven. She helps entrepreneurs start small, test smart, and learn fast. We dig into why traction beats hype, how to prove velocity before pitching investors, and why data and storytelling go hand in hand when you're building a brand that lasts.   Topics Covered; Why 90% of new food and beverage products fail (and how to be in the 10%) How to test and prove traction before raising seed money The dangers of scaling too fast across multiple retailers What “velocity” really means and why investors care more about it than shelf space How much capital early-stage CPG brands truly need ($200K–$500K pre-revenue) Friends, family, and angel rounds: how to network your way to your first investors Why the path to profitability usually takes four years  How to use your “backyard” as the smartest first market test The 10 Pillars of a Successful Company Lessons from brands like Zico, Bai, and other billion-dollar exits Guest Bio Debbie Wildrick is an Executive Leader, Industry Speaker, and Sales and Distribution Expert. Widely touted as the Queen of Beverages, Debbie has been in the food and beverage industry for over 30 years. She is extremely influential, highly experienced, and a titan of the industry. Having been with 7-Eleven and responsible for making decisions that will place powerful industry-dominating brands on store shelves and move into consumers' mouths repeatedly, building store sales and profitability is invaluable.

What do we travel with? How do we prefer to travel? What are our travel hacks? If you are seasoned travel or just getting into that hamster wheel, this is the episode for you. Our thoughts, best practices and hacks on traveling.Share with us yours on LinkedIn or X.Our co-hosts:Bertrand Schmitt, Entrepreneur in Residence at Red River West, co-founder of App Annie / Data.ai, business angel, advisor to startups and VC funds, @bschmittNuno Goncalves Pedro, Investor, Managing Partner, Founder at Chamaeleon, @ngpedroOur show: Tech DECIPHERED brings you the Entrepreneur and Investor views on Big Tech, VC and Start-up news, opinion pieces and research. We decipher their meaning, and add inside knowledge and context. Being nerds, we also discuss the latest gadgets and pop culture news Subscribe To Our Podcast Nuno Goncalves PedroINTRODUCTIONWelcome to Episode 69 of Tech DECIPHERED. Today we'll go on a slightly softer note and discuss our travel hacks and preferences. Bertrand and I often are asked, "What do you guys travel with? What do you prefer to travel with? What are your travel hacks?" And a few other questions in this world of hamster wheel travelling.Today we'll share a bunch of our preferences. We'll share a lot of the things we travel with, from luggage to electronics to other services and devices. We will share to the best of our knowledge, how to really do it in style, if that's at all possible, once you're in that hamster wheel. We'll share some of our hacks, not only for business travelling, but also for leisure travelling. Interesting stuff. We all have our hacks. We all have our stuff going on.PREFERENCES TRAVELAirlines, alliances, loyalty programsMaybe we start with airlines and all the things around that. Bertrand.Bertrand SchmittYeah, sure. Don't get me started on Air France, who cancelled on me a huge quantity of miles without alerting me, without notice, just a few weeks before I was supposed to take a flight. I will try my best to never use them again.Nuno Goncalves PedroIt was that bad. Air France is out, so that's the beginning. Let's maybe talk about the guys who are in. I'll give you my top airlines around the world. Obviously this depends. Depends if you have to travel through that region or if you're travelling to that region. My favourites, I think maybe not sure if it's in full order, but I would say Emirates, obviously, Qatar Airways. If you're hubbing through Middle East or if you're going to the Middle East, two amazing airlines, probably two of the best in the world.I would say maybe Emirates is my favourite now. I have to be thoughtful in how I put that forward. Qatar is also exceptional, obviously if you're hubbing through Doha. Incredible airline as well. The Asian ones in general, we'll leave the Chinese for a second because that's a different ballgame all together. Let's not say all Asian ones and obviously different ones are great.I'd say Singapore Airlines continues being systematically an exceptional airline. They've become very expensive, but an exceptional airline. A little bit SOP driven, only airline in the world, true story, that I complained not once or twice, but three times on the same incident, and I actually never got a response from them on an incident which is interesting. In general, service is exceptional. Their facilities at Changi Airport are exceptional. The planes are really well-kept, the food is great, very attentious, and really like them.Cathay, I haven't flown with them in a while. They went through a bit of a slump at some point. They were my favourite for a long time. Then they went through a bit of a slump in terms of product in particular, in terms of the quality of the product, in terms of the quality of the seats, service on board, et cetera. I've heard positive things recently, so maybe worthwhile putting them back on my Top 5 list around the world.Then the Korean Airlines in general are pretty strong on s...

Investing in funds is not straightforward. We are faced with a countless range of options and constantly distracted by meaningless noise and turbulent markets. To make matters worse, our flawed beliefs and behavioural biases lead to repeated and costly mistakes, such as a damaging obsession with past performance and a dangerous attraction to thematic funds. There is a solution―a more intelligent way to invest in funds. In The Intelligent Fund Investor: Practical Steps for Better Results in Active and Passive Funds (Harriman House, 2022), experienced portfolio manager and behavioural finance expert Joe Wiggins brings simplicity and clarity to fund investing. Each chapter of this fascinating and highly readable book focuses on a vital element of investing in funds―exploring how and why investors can get it badly wrong, and providing direct, actionable steps for better results. Joe reveals: why we should avoid investing with star managers; how to decide between active and passive funds; why we should beware of smooth performance and captivating stories; why risk is far more than just volatility; the importance of a long time horizon; and much, much more. Using a combination of stories, empirical evidence and experience, Joe gives all fund investors―active and passive―what they need to reassess their beliefs, understand their biases, and make better investment decisions.

Right now, you should invest in anything but the S&P 500... Today we talk about what you should invest in instead. We focus was on market dynamics, particularly the strong performance of precious metals like gold and silver, the technical risks of recent market breakouts, and the caution needed after periods of rapid gains. We examine broader market trends, highlighting the relatively stronger performance of European and emerging market stocks versus the U.S., the importance of diversification, and more. We discuss... Precious metals, especially gold and silver, have been performing strongly, but recent market breakouts are showing signs of weakness, signaling caution for over-leveraged investors. September was a high-gain month, leading many investors to become overextended, with earnings season potentially introducing volatility. The precise reasons for gold's rise are unclear, though factors like central bank purchases and possible stablecoin-backed demand may contribute. Gold acts as a fear indicator rather than a production-based asset, with rising prices reflecting concerns over fiat currency and economic uncertainty. Historical comparisons show current gold-to-oil ratios are anomalous, echoing aspects of the 1970s stagflation period while oil prices remain low. U.S. stock market gains are outpaced by European and emerging markets this year, emphasizing the importance of global diversification. Average S&P 500 returns differ from actual realized returns due to volatility and sequence-of-returns risk, affecting long-term retirement planning. Electricity prices have surged in most U.S. states, highlighting structural energy supply challenges and rising costs for consumers. AI expansion is creating unprecedented energy demand, potentially driving electricity prices higher and stressing grid capacity. Nuclear energy development is critical to meet growing energy needs, yet decades of poor policy and infrastructure deficiencies hinder progress. Media narratives on energy and investment trends can be manipulated, requiring investors to critically evaluate information. Historical tech and AI boom comparisons suggest caution, as overhyped markets with high valuations may lead to significant losses. Investors should manage risk carefully, use first-principles thinking, and avoid greed-driven overexposure to emerging trends like AI.   Today's Panelists: Kirk Chisholm | Innovative Wealth Douglas Heagren | Mergent College Advisors Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneytreepodcast Follow LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/money-tree-investing-podcast Follow on Twitter/X: https://x.com/MTIPodcast For more information, visit the show notes at https://moneytreepodcast.com/invest-in-anything-but-755

Can trees really grow your wealth? In this episode, Mike talks with John Brenard, Founder and Managing Director of Southview Timberland Investments, about how timberland and farmland offer strong returns, steady cash flow, and natural inflation protection. John explains why this overlooked asset class is gaining traction with investors who want something real, stable, and sustainable.

Why Timberland Works: A proven inflation hedge that's uncorrelated to the stock market. The Power of the Southeast: Why this region now leads global timber production. More Than Just Trees: Multiple income streams from harvesting, farmland leasing, and recreational use. Sustainable by Nature: How responsible forestry adds both environmental and financial value. Investor Access: How Southview's five-year fund makes timberland investing accessible through Schwab. Tariffs and Opportunity: How U.S. trade policies are fueling domestic timber growth.

The Southeast U.S. is now the global timber powerhouse, offering strong mill infrastructure and high demand.

Timberland offers multiple income channels, from harvest revenue to farmland and recreational leases. Sustainability drives returns, good forestry practices directly increase land value and resale potential. Southview's fund model is transparent and investor-friendly, offering regular reporting, on-site visits, and digital onboarding.

Host Dr. Mike Woo-Ming, shares his five-step launch blueprint for building a lean, profitable clinic from scratch. He begins by debunking the myth that doctors need investors, massive loans, or fancy offices to succeed. Instead, he emphasizes focusing on action, simplicity, and profitability from day one. Step one: pick a profitable niche by identifying exactly who you want to serve and the urgent problem you can solve now. Step two: build your Minimal Viable Clinic (MVC) — a streamlined version of your practice that allows you to start seeing patients quickly using low-cost tools like telemedicine, subleasing spaces, and affordable EHR systems.  Dr. Woo-Ming explains how to craft an irresistible offer centered around transformation, not just services—helping patients achieve measurable outcomes in 90 days or less. He shares proven marketing insights inspired by Alex Hormozi and offers examples of “unicorn offer statements.” Finally, he details how to attract your first patients, leverage partnerships, and systematize your operations through automation, virtual assistants, and tracking key business metrics. This episode is a must-listen for physicians seeking independence, sustainability, and control over their medical careers—without waiting for permission or capital. Three Actionable Takeaways:  Pick a Profitable Niche: Define exactly who you serve, what urgent problem you solve, and ensure you can deliver results profitably. Avoid broad audiences—clarity drives success.  Build Your Minimal Viable Clinic (MVC): Start lean using telemedicine, subleased spaces, and low-cost tech tools. Focus on momentum, not perfection—launch now, refine later. Automate and Scale Early: Use systems like EHR automation, virtual assistants, and follow-up sequences to streamline operations. Track metrics weekly to identify growth opportunities.

This week on The Money Hour, Brian Wiley uses a clever metaphor — musical chairs — to describe today's high-anxiety markets. With stocks soaring and Micron hitting near-record highs, investors are sliding around nervously, waiting for the music to stop. Brian digs into how emotions like greed and fear can dictate our financial behavior, from cashing out 401(k)s for new toys to missing chances for growth out of hesitation. He also tackles bigger themes: tariffs, nationalism, and how politics, trade wars, and human behavior all intertwine in this volatile financial climate.   Listen, Watch, Subscribe, Ask! https://www.therealmoneypros.com Host: Brian Wiley

When identical twins Mike and Alex Faherty launched their clothing brand, they made a daring move– launching wholesale, retail, and online, pretty much at the same time. Investors said it was outdated, maybe even doomed.But that contrarian bet helped grow Faherty into a hugely popular brand, built on family, ingenuity, and obsession with detail.The two brothers spent 12 years preparing for launch—Mike at Ralph Lauren learning the craft of fashion, Alex in finance learning the mechanics of business. In the early days they traveled the country in a beach house on wheels, pulling over on the PCH to sell bathing suits and board shorts. Mike's designs—surf culture meets big-city chic—took hold online, in department stores, and even swanky boutiques in Japan, giving Faherty the momentum it needed to eventually grew to $250 million in sales.
