Ten straight up weeks, then a sharp pullback — and if you're two to five years on either side of retirement, the fear is real. This is the Retirement Red Zone: the last mile into and out of your retirement date, and the most fragile window in your entire financial life.This week on Money On Tap, Ben Brayshaw and Dan Michelon turn last week's market-history conversation into a practical playbook for anyone near retirement: how to avoid the paralysis that wrecked so many retirements in 2008–2009, and what to actually do right now.What you'll learn:Why a 35-year-old and a 65-year-old should do the opposite thing in a pullbackThe accumulation-to-distribution switch most people don't know existsWhat history says: after 40 sharp selloffs since 1980, markets were higher 75% of the time a year laterSequence-of-returns risk — why the first five years decide everythingBuilding a 1–3 year retirement runway with ~4% cash and T-billsRebalancing a 60/40 that drifted to 75/25Diversifying away from a top-10 that's now 40% of the S&P (8 of them tech)Buffered ETFs — a 20% buffer with a 12–15% cap, explainedFoundational income, annuities, and the tax-aware withdrawal piece most firms skipPlus Money In The News:Consumer prices rose 4.2% annually in May — the highest in three years (CNBC, Jeff Cox)Elon Musk poised to become the first trillionaire — and just how much a trillion dollars really isA top JP Morgan strategist's four ways to prep your portfolio for “considerable danger” (David Kelly)Mentioned on air: Our short sequence-of-returns risk video — watch it at brayshawfinancial.com.Read the companion blog: brayshawfinancial.com/blogSchedule a free consultation: app.greminders.com/t/9f3ce72e/initialconsultaFull Money On Tap episode library: brayshawfinancial.com/money-on-tapContact UsPhone: 855-226-8551Email: info@yourmoneyontap.comOffice: 116 South River Road, Bedford, NH 03110Web: brayshawfinancial.comWhat is the retirement red zone, and why does it matter? The retirement red zone is the roughly ten-year window covering the five years before and the five years after your retirement date. It matters more than almost any other period because of sequence-of-returns risk: a major market downturn while you're beginning to withdraw income can permanently damage the plan, even if the market later recovers. Two people who invest identically but retire a few years apart can end up with opposite outcomes based solely on timing. Navigating the red zone means shifting from maximizing gains to mitigating losses — stress-testing the plan, building a cash runway, rebalancing, diversifying, and adding guardrails like buffered ETFs and guaranteed income.
People in Idaho are getting sick (unsurprisingly) from drinking raw milk, a grandfather in Thailand learned by adopting a monkey isn't always the best idea, and there's finally been an arrest in the Anna Kepner case. Target got called out for charging more for larger clothing sizes, the JPMorgan case is back in the news, and a Venezuelan immigrant took his wife to a Trump hotel, which ended up exactly how you thought it might! Phones are being blamed for people not having babies, an influencer went viral for all the wrong reasons, and we talk about what we're watching. We also discuss the FIFA World Cup and the Knicks championship run!
In this episode of BioTalk with Rich Bendis, Sara Dauber, Vice President, Startup Banking for J.P. Morgan's Innovation Economy team, joins the conversation to discuss how early-stage life science and healthcare companies can think more strategically about banking, financing readiness, and long-term growth. Sara shares how her career moved from life science operating companies to NIH and now to J.P. Morgan, where she works with early-stage life science and healthcare ventures across the DMV and surrounding regions. Drawing on her experience inside startups, supporting SBIR-funded companies, and advising founders from the business side, Sara brings a practical perspective on what early-stage teams need as they begin raising institutional capital and building the systems behind a company. The conversation explores how J.P. Morgan supports companies across the full lifecycle, from inception through IPO and beyond. Sara also discusses the importance of secure banking infrastructure, investor readiness, cap table management, startup-focused resources, and relationship-building in a market where founders are often asked to do more with limited time and capital. Rich and Sara also revisit her time at NIH, her work with BHI Entrepreneurs-in-Residence, and the value of the BioHealth Capital Region ecosystem in helping entrepreneurs connect with the right advisors, funders, and partners. Editing and post-production work for this episode was provided by The Podcast Consultant. Sara Dauber is Vice President, J.P. Morgan's Startup Banking team, where she works with early-stage life science and healthcare companies in the DMV and broader Mid Atlantic. Before joining J.P. Morgan, Sara spent more than 14 years in life science operating companies, often working with early-stage startups across finance, program management, corporate development, business development, and operations. She later worked with NINDS at NIH, supporting SBIR-funded companies with business support. Today, she brings that experience to her work with founders as they build, finance, and scale life science and healthcare companies.
The Epstein files were never sitting in one neat box waiting to be opened. They were scattered across years of court cases, law-enforcement investigations, civil lawsuits, sealed filings, grand jury materials, prison records, congressional productions, and federal agency archives. Some of the most important records came through the courts: the Palm Beach criminal case, the federal non-prosecution agreement litigation, Virginia Giuffre's civil case against Ghislaine Maxwell, survivor lawsuits against Epstein's estate, litigation against banks like JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank, and other dockets where depositions, exhibits, emails, flight logs, address books, settlement records, and sworn testimony surfaced piece by piece. That is why the public record grew in fragments: one batch from a lawsuit, another from a judge unsealing documents, another from discovery, another from congressional subpoenas, and another from media fights over access.The FBI and DOJ held another major universe of Epstein material: interview reports, search-warrant returns, victim statements, photographs, videos, seized electronics, financial records, investigative notes, jail records, and internal communications connected to both the original Florida investigation and the later SDNY case. Congress then became another repository as the House Oversight Committee sought unredacted files, transcripts, agency productions, and testimony from people connected to Epstein's staff, legal team, financial network, and incarceration. So when people say “the Epstein files,” they are really talking about a sprawling archive spread across courts, the FBI, the DOJ, the Bureau of Prisons, congressional investigators, civil litigants, banks, estates, and private parties. That scattered structure matters because it makes full accountability harder: no single release tells the whole story, no single agency controls everything, and every redaction, sealed docket, privilege claim, or missing exhibit leaves another gap in a record that was already deliberately fragmented.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Jamie Dimon was pulled directly into the U.S. Virgin Islands' lawsuit against JPMorgan because he had served as the bank's chief executive during most of the period when Jeffrey Epstein remained a valued client despite his 2008 conviction and repeated internal warnings about his conduct and financial activity. The Virgin Islands alleged that JPMorgan knowingly benefited from Epstein's business, ignored red flags and continued supplying the banking infrastructure that helped sustain his trafficking operation. As the bank's most powerful executive, Dimon was ordered to sit for a deposition about what he knew, when senior management learned of the concerns surrounding Epstein and why the relationship was not terminated until 2013.During his deposition, Dimon said he had never met or spoken with Epstein and did not remember being informed about him while Epstein was a customer. That testimony became a major point of contention because evidence showed that other senior JPMorgan figures—including Jes Staley and Mary Erdoes—were involved in discussions concerning Epstein, while compliance personnel had repeatedly raised concerns. The Virgin Islands unsuccessfully sought to question Dimon a second time after obtaining additional evidence, but his testimony still placed his leadership under intense scrutiny and raised questions about how such a controversial client could remain at the bank without the chief executive knowing. JPMorgan ultimately paid $75 million to settle the Virgin Islands' claims without admitting liability, in addition to a separate $290 million settlement with Epstein's victims.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
The great lie of the Epstein scandal isn't just what he did, but how the powerful around him suddenly claimed they couldn't remember him at all. Presidents, princes, billionaires, academics, bankers, and celebrities who once courted his money and shared his jets all reached for the same script when the walls closed in: I barely knew him. It was a coordinated act of survival, not an accident. Institutions like Harvard, MIT, Deutsche Bank, and JP Morgan played the same game, pretending they never saw the red flags. Legacy media, instead of hammering the contradictions, often published these denials straight, allowing amnesia to masquerade as truth. Forgetting became strategy, and strategy became cover.But memory leaves evidence. Flight logs, photographs, donations, and testimonies remain, and every denial only underscores the complicity of those who looked away. The survivors don't get to forget; they live with scars while the powerful rewrite history. What the amnesia act reveals is cowardice: a willingness to erase reality to protect reputation. Epstein built his empire on memory, yet his circle tried to survive through erasure. In the end, their denials brand them more deeply than their associations ever could—because the attempt to forget is itself proof they remembered perfectly well.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
In this episode of The OPEX Effect, Jack Forehand and Brent Kochuba break down the market structure impact of the SpaceX IPO, options expiration, dealer gamma, volatility, and the next major setup for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq.

Today, I'm joined by Scott D. Anthony, Clinical Professor of Strategy at the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College, whose work focuses on the adaptive challenges posed by disruptive change. Scott is the author of nine books, including his latest, Epic Disruptions: 11 Innovations That Shaped Our Modern World. The book was selected for JPMorgan's Next List, which recognises cutting-edge ideas across technology, business, financial markets, the arts and culture. Before joining Dartmouth, Scott spent more than 20 years at Innosight, the growth strategy consultancy founded by Harvard Business School Professor Clayton Christensen. His influence on the field of innovation is widely recognised. Thinkers50 named Scott the world's fifth most influential management thinker in 2025, after naming him the world's leading innovation thinker in 2017. In this conversation, we explore the innovations that have shaped modern life, what history teaches us about disruptive change, and how leaders can respond thoughtfully when the future feels uncertain. It is a privilege to welcome Scott D. Anthony to The Art of Teaching.
Today's Headlines: SpaceX went public today raising $75 billion at a $1.77 trillion valuation, making Elon Musk humanity's first trillionaire. Moving on, Trump spent Thursday morning threatening to seize Iran's main oil hub Kharg Island, then hours later cancelled strikes because Iran "approved a draft agreement" to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and begin 60 days of nuclear negotiations — except Iran's own state media reported no agreement had been approved and that "the Americans kept changing their positions," though the stock market had its best day in two months anyway because the concept of a deal is apparently enough for Wall Street. In voter suppression news, the USPS quietly changed its rules to require states to hand over voter lists for anyone requesting mail-in ballots, with 23 states suing to stop it and the first judge already declining to block it, because of course they did. Trump dropped Bill Pulte as acting DNI after even Republicans said no, replacing him with Jay Clayton — Manhattan US Attorney, former SEC chair, and someone with no intelligence experience but a strong track record of loyalty to Trump. The DOJ is subpoenaing JP Morgan, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo to investigate alleged "debanking" of conservatives, with the primary evidence being that Trump lost his bank accounts after January 6th, and a DOJ staffer working on Traitor Fund legislation quietly asked to recuse himself because he was planning to file a claim from the same fund he's helping write. In Trump shenanigans news, his birthday UFC cage fight is set up on the White House lawn — with rain in the forecast — and workers will operate 20 hours a day year-round to build his gold arch in DC by the end of his term. And finally, Vance Boelter, the Minnesota man who posed as a police officer and murdered the Democratic speaker of Minnesota's state house, her husband, and their dog, pleaded guilty and received two consecutive life sentences plus 40 years.

The AI memory trade continues to surge with optimism from analysts. Diane King Hall explains why JP Morgan raised price targets for Seagate (STX) and Western Digital (WDC) even after both stocks saw strong rallies over the last year. Wells Fargo also upped its price target for Qualcomm (QCOM). In the housing market, Diane notes an earnings loser in Lennar (LEN) after it missed on revenue and deliveries. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
Brad Spies runs Consensus, the 11-year-old big-tent crypto conference operated by CoinDesk. On day three of Consensus Miami 2026 he sits down with David Sencil to walk through what's actually different this year: 15,000 attendees, JP Morgan, Fidelity, Schwab, DTCC and Swift on the sponsor list, and 1,200 "normie businesses" reached out to about stablecoin onboarding.He's also candid about the Gensler-era detour to Toronto, the 2022 Austin apex (Method Man, Red Man, Disclosure, Celsius the day after), and his own crypto origin story: he bought his first Bitcoin in 2013 and sold it almost immediately. "I kick myself to this day."We cover:- Why JP Morgan, Fidelity, and Swift all bought booths this year- The institutional pipeline built behind closed doors over four years- Stablecoin workshops, normie-business onboarding, and the hackathon stack- Where Consensus goes after Miami 2027 and New York- Why "most every bank account will come with a wallet address"Filmed at Consensus 2026 in Miami.Host: David Sencil

Lucía Gutiérrez-Mellado analiza el impacto de estos eventos históricos en los mercados y cuáles son las estrategias de inversión a seguir.
Jon Herold comes in Thursday on a slow news day that gets spectacularly un-slow mid-show. Trump posts a detailed plan to bomb Iran and take Kharg Island, Jon raises a Sun Tzu objection, and then within the hour Trump posts again canceling everything because a peace deal has been approved by every party in the region. Chris Paul had predicted the reversal in the Badlands private Telegram chat before it happened, and Jon finds that deeply satisfying. Jon also spends significant time on the New York Times Epstein book video and arrives at the opposite conclusion the Times intends: the entire narrative confirms the Epstein story was a coordinated op against Trump, not evidence of a coverup. MTG going on CNN to call Trump a traitor over the files does not help his read on her. Federal prosecutors issued subpoenas to JPMorgan, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo in a criminal political debanking investigation, and Jon says expand it immediately to PayPal, YouTube, Instagram, and every platform that kicked people off for political speech. The USPS just proposed new ballot tracking standards tied directly to Trump's election integrity order, and Jon connects it to the USPS blockchain voting patent that has been sitting quietly for years. Senate Democrats are apparently wargaming how to stop Trump from stealing the midterms, and Jon calls it the most telling projection he has seen in months.
Two JP Morgan employees have been at the centre of a salacious lawsuit, in which one – Chirayu Rana has claimed to be the victim of sexual harassment by his senior Lorna Hadjini. The story has exploded online and taken many twists and turns, including Lorna Hadjini filing a countersuit claim of defamation. Freddy Gray is joined by Alex Saeedy, reporter at The Wall Street Journal who has covered the story. Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

George Tsilis walks us through this morning's top moving stocks at the opening bell. He points to Barclay's raising price targets in KLA Corp. (KLAC), Applied Materials (AMAT), and Lam Research (LRCX) as all stocks continue record runs. JP Morgan also raised its price target for Seagate (STX). George then turns to Super Micro's (SMCI) pricing of its equity offering that sparked a 28% sell-off Wednesday. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/ About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
JPMorgan Asset Management sees a resilient economy facing multiple supply shocks, with inflation still largely supply-led and the Federal Reserve likely to remain on hold for now. Priya Misra, fixed-income portfolio manager at the firm and a manager of the JPMorgan Core Plus Bond ETF (JCPB Equity), joins Ira Jersey, Bloomberg Intelligence chief US interest-rate strategist, on this Macro Matters edition of the FICC Focus podcast to explain how she defines the “plus” in core-plus investing, from macro duration and curve views to allocations across securitized credit, high yield and mortgage convexity management. She also discusses what Kevin Warsh's arrival as Fed chair could mean for communication policy and the dot plot, arguing that investors still need enough Fed transparency to understand each official's reaction function. The two examine where she sees value across fixed income, including high-quality spread product, duration in the five- to 10-year sector as a hedge and select structured-credit opportunities such as agency CMBS and non-agency mortgage exposure over parts of the agency RMBS market. The Macro Matters podcast is part of BI's FICC Focus series.

Bitcoin just posted its worst week since the FTX collapse — a 16% slide below $60,000, the steepest drop since Sam Bankman-Fried's exchange imploded in November 2022 — and analysts are warning the modest bounce to ~$61,300 may be short-lived. What makes this scarier than the FTX-era crash: there's no single catastrophic catalyst. Analysts are calling it a "silent bear market" because Bitcoin just broke below its 200-week moving average for the first time in this cycle, rate-cut bets have flipped to rate-HIKE bets thanks to strong U.S. jobs data, gold/silver/BTC are all falling together as the safe-haven thesis breaks, and Friday's $75 billion SpaceX IPO is poised to drain another $22.5B of retail capital directly out of crypto. Add Anthropic launching its zero-day-finding Mythos AI today (the same tech that found the four-year-old Zcash bug), Warsh planning to kill the Fed dot-plot, JPMorgan deploying long-running autonomous AI agents, and today's U.S. CPI print landing into the chaos — and this may be the cleanest structural bear market we've seen all cycle. We break down whether the FTX comparison actually holds, what a 200-week MA break historically means for Bitcoin, and which catalysts could stop the bleeding before $50K comes into play.

OpenAI confidentially filed for an IPO on May 22 and announced it publicly on June 8. The valuation: $852 billion. The catch: the company loses $1.22 for every dollar it earns, and internal documents project a $14 billion loss in 2026 with no path to profitability until 2029.This episode breaks down the filing and the math behind it. Revenue is running around $2 billion a month, tripling year over year since 2023. The March funding round closed at $122 billion. Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and JPMorgan are leading the deal, and Sam Altman is targeting a September listing, which would put OpenAI at 34x to 40x revenue at a price between $852 billion and over $1 trillion.Then there's the competitive context. Anthropic filed its own confidential S-1 a week before OpenAI, at a $965 billion valuation, which now sits above OpenAI's. SpaceX starts trading Friday at $1.75 trillion. Three of the largest IPOs in history are landing inside a month, and the order they go matters: if Anthropic prints a profitable quarter before OpenAI lists, the market gets a benchmark for what a "good" AI company looks like, and OpenAI has to clear it.The filing also became possible because of one ruling. Two days before the confidential submission, a jury dismissed Elon Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI on a statute of limitations technicality. That was the single biggest legal obstacle to going public, and it was cleared first.We cover what the numbers mean for developers and businesses building on the API, why a public OpenAI optimizes for margins instead of developer experience, what the tender offer for employees signals about liquidity pressure, and whether public market investors will actually pay a premium on a company burning $14 billion a year.OpenAI IPO, OpenAI S-1, Sam Altman, $852 billion valuation, AI IPO 2026, Anthropic IPO, SpaceX IPO, AI bubble, AI stocks, ChatGPT, Goldman Sachs, September IPO.

After a week away in New York, Matt returned to Daily Crypto News with a simple observation: Bitcoin at roughly $62,000 does not inspire confidence when it was trading near $85,000 just a month ago. Yet despite the fear, some major players are still buying.Michael Saylor made headlines again after Strategy purchased approximately 101,550 Bitcoin between June 1 and June 7, adding roughly $101 million worth of BTC to its balance sheet. At the same time, many investors are pointing to the upcoming SpaceX IPO as a possible reason for crypto's recent weakness. The theory is that investors are pulling capital out of risk assets, including crypto, to position themselves for what could become one of the largest and most anticipated public offerings in years. Matt questioned whether that narrative fully explains the downturn but acknowledged that demand for SpaceX appears enormous, especially if the company quickly becomes eligible for inclusion in major retirement and index-based investment portfolios.The broader financial system continues moving toward blockchain-based infrastructure. According to reports, major U.S. banks including JPMorgan, Bank of America, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo are working on a tokenized deposit system expected to launch by the first half of 2027. Rather than fighting stablecoins outright, banks appear to be creating their own blockchain-based alternatives that allow deposits to move around the clock while keeping customers inside the traditional banking system. In Matt's view, the next major battle may no longer be crypto versus banks. Instead, it may be stablecoins versus tokenized bank deposits.Meanwhile, regulators in the United Kingdom continue debating stablecoin oversight. Lawmakers are reportedly pushing the Bank of England to relax some proposed restrictions, including caps on holdings and reserve requirements. The central bank remains concerned that large-scale stablecoin adoption could drain deposits from traditional banks and create stress within the broader financial system.Security remained a major theme this week. Humanity Protocol's H token collapsed after attackers allegedly stole private keys connected to the project, draining roughly $32 million from just 17 wallets. The token fell from approximately $0.67 to $0.13 and briefly touched $0.05 during the panic. Blockchain investigator ZachXBT publicly questioned the team's explanation, suggesting the incident may deserve additional scrutiny. While no evidence has emerged proving internal wrongdoing, the event highlights how quickly confidence can disappear when projects fail to clearly explain major security failures.Artificial intelligence also entered the spotlight after researchers discovered that an AI model identified a four-year-old bug in Zcash that could have enabled unlimited token creation. The vulnerability was fixed before being exploited, but the discovery highlights a new reality for crypto security. AI systems are becoming increasingly capable of reviewing code bases and identifying flaws that human developers may have overlooked for years. As these tools improve, they could become one of the most powerful auditing resources available to blockchain projects.Despite the negativity, Bitcoin has managed to rebound above $63,000 after its recent selloff. The asset remains down roughly 50% from its October 2025 highs, and opinions are sharply divided on what comes next. Some analysts believe another leg lower into the $50,000 or even $40,000 range remains possible. Others argue that after a drawdown of this magnitude, the risk-reward profile has become increasingly attractive. Matt noted that many investors are beginning to dollar-cost average back into the market, reasoning that buying Bitcoin at $63,000 after a 50% correction may prove to be a better long-term bet than waiting indefinitely for a perfect bottom.

Rylan Foltz went from JP Morgan analyst to independent wealth advisor to co-founding WealthFeed — a marketing and prospecting platform helping financial advisors find better clients faster using predictive analytics and behavioral data. In this episode, Rylan walks through the full arc of that journey and unpacks the strategic decisions that took WealthFeed from zero to thousands of advisors in just two years.Jeff and Rylan dig into why the wealth management industry is so underserved by marketing technology, the power of building bottom-up before going enterprise, how to make a SaaS product genuinely sticky in a regulated industry, and why your distribution moat matters more than your product moat in an era where anyone can spin up a competing product overnight.Whether you're a first-time founder trying to crack product-market fit, or a scaling SaaS leader thinking through enterprise sales cycles, pricing strategy, and team-building, this episode delivers actionable insight on all fronts.Key Takeaways3:47 — The Origin of WealthFeed Rylan realized as a practicing advisor that organic growth was the hardest part of the job — and that the wealth management industry had almost no structured approach to marketing. That gap became the business.6:15 — Why Finance Is Marketing's Last Frontier Advisors can name the big firms but not their local competitors. The industry is dominated by aging, lifestyle-mode advisors who stopped teaching growth tactics — leaving a giant opportunity for a niche marketing platform.10:39 — What's Old Is New Again WealthFeed offers machine-written handwritten notes that look like wedding invitations. In a world saturated with digital communication, old-school physical outreach is standing out again.11:22 — Stop Thinking Leads, Start Building Assets Advisors shouldn't buy leads — they should build a database audience the way Budweiser buys Super Bowl ads: consistent, compounding, ROI over time.13:01 — Niche Marketing Builds Trust Generic messaging ("I help with retirement planning") signals you don't know your prospect. Hyper-specific messaging ("I work exclusively with SaaS co-founders on RSUs and equity comp") creates immediate trust and relevance.14:12 — The All-in-One Platform Advantage WealthFeed layers CRM, outbound marketing (LinkedIn, email, direct mail, handwritten notes), and proprietary data into one workflow — so advisors don't stitch together five point solutions.17:41 — Simplicity Over Power at Launch Early on, feature overload slowed adoption. The lesson: launch with one compelling use case (for WealthFeed, inheritance lead data), get users in the door, then upsell from there.20:55 — Your Moat Is Your Distribution AI lets anyone copy a product in a weekend. What can't be copied overnight is your relationships, your user base, and the custom integrations you've built into a customer's workflow.25:03 — Bottom-Up Enterprise Strategy WealthFeed got traction by signing individual advisors first, letting the grassroots demand bubble up to management — which created enterprise deals without having to wait in long procurement queues.27:09 — Don't Hunt Elephants Until You Can Afford To Enterprise deals can drag for three years. Without revenue from individual and SMB customers, a startup can starve waiting for that one big contract to close.29:28 — Hybrid Pricing: Access Fee + Usage Credits Flat subscriptions don't work when one advisor sends 20,000 handwritten notes and another logs in once a month. A hybrid model lets you charge for scale without penalizing light users.31:28 — Price High, Discount Down Starting low and raising prices creates churn and resentment. Starting at a premium and offering a promotional discount sets expectations — customers know the real value from day one.33:19 — Balancing Founder Vision vs. Customer Feedback A 50/50 split: take customer input seriously, but don't become a yes-man. The most successful founders — especially those who've lived the problem — trust their forward vision even when customers can't yet see it.35:59 — Build Infrastructure Before You're Drowning WealthFeed hired sales, dev, and customer success earlier than felt necessary. That foundation is now why their customer success "outperforms anyone else in the industry."38:30 — Flatten the Org to Connect Dev and Customer Tech teams that never see how the product is used build the wrong things. WealthFeed has engineers sit in on sales calls so they understand why features matter, not just what to build.39:45 — Let Compliance Work With You, Not Against You Instead of pitching firms on new compliance workflows, WealthFeed integrates into whatever compliance process already exists — dramatically speeding up enterprise approvals.Tweetable Quotes"Your moat is your distribution. Go-to-market has gotten extremely valuable because you could almost create the product overnight." — Rylan Foltz"Stop thinking about leads. Start thinking about building an audience, a database, an asset for life." — Rylan Foltz"No one wants a generalist. Everyone wants the best knee surgeon in the country. As an advisor, you've got to become really niche-focused." — Rylan Foltz"Start your pricing high. You can always discount down. It's really hard to raise prices." — Rylan Foltz"It's easier to sell one flavor of ice cream and say it's the best than to offer 32 flavors and create option overload." — Rylan Foltz"What's old is new. Everything shifted to digital, so old-school processes are how you stand out now." — Rylan Foltz"You'll be most successful solving a problem you personally went through. It comes across in your sales, your fundraising, everything." — Rylan Foltz"Don't get too caught up in enterprise until you build up the user base. Get revenue first, then you can afford to chase the elephants." — Rylan FoltzSaaS Leadership Lessons1. Niche down relentlessly — and mean it. Rylan didn't just say "we focus on financial advisors." WealthFeed built every feature, every data layer, and every compliance workflow around that single ICP. The more specific your niche, the stronger your trust signal, the better your retention, and the harder you are to displace. Generalist products get commoditized. Specialists get embedded.2. Distribution is the real product. In a world where a working SaaS product can be replicated in a weekend, your go-to-market is your most defensible asset. Relationships, user base saturation within target firms, custom integrations, and compliance workflow ownership are what prevent a competitor from walking in and saying "we do the same thing." Build distribution as intentionally as you build product.3. Start simple — layer complexity after adoption. Feature-rich doesn't mean better. WealthFeed launched with one use case (inheritance lead data) and expanded from there. Getting a user in the door on one powerful idea is vastly easier than selling a full platform. Upselling to an existing user is far more efficient than converting a prospect who's overwhelmed at first glance.4. Build your team infrastructure earlier than you think you need it. Founders often hire only when they're already underwater. Rylan and his team built out sales, dev, and customer success before they felt the pressure — and that head start compounded into top-tier customer outcomes. Infrastructure built under stress tends to crack. Infrastructure built with intention scales.5. Price to your value, then offer strategic discounts. Starting low might feel like a growth hack, but it sets a price anchor that's almost impossible to raise without friction. Starting at a premium gives you room to discount strategically, run promos, and still maintain perceived value. Customers who came in knowing the "real" price won't balk at renewal the way customers who got a surprise price hike will.6. Close the gap between your builders and your buyers. One of WealthFeed's most impactful structural choices: having engineers sit in on sales calls. When the people building the product understand how it's actually used — and why it matters — they build better, faster, and with more empathy. Kill the wall between tech and go-to-market.

Veterans, corporate burnout survivors and anyone who has ever confused suffering in silence with being strong will find something worth hearing in this one. This episode is for the people who are fine, totally fine, definitely fine... and haven't slept properly in three months.More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/omar-ritterOmar Ritter has lived more than most people will ever face in a lifetime. West Point graduate, Bronze Star recipient, combat veteran from Iraq and Kosovo, twenty-year Wall Street executive, brain tumor survivor. He's also someone who spent years hiding the fact that he was falling apart on the inside while everything looked great from the outside. In this episode of Even Tacos Fall Apart, Omar sits down to talk honestly about PTSD, burnout, identity loss and what it actually took to get better.Omar's breaking point didn't come on a battlefield. It came in boardrooms, in sleepless nights at JP Morgan, in a moment when he left his wife home alone with their week-old baby to go deliver documents to his boss at 3am. He was the guy who always got things done, no matter what it cost him. And that identity, the guy who never cracks, is exactly what nearly killed him.He opens up about his gunner from Iraq, a man who appeared fine on Facebook, who was chatting and checking in, and who then took his own life and the lives of his children after an untreated mental health crisis hijacked everything he was. Omar doesn't sugarcoat it. He calls PTSD what he believes it is: a hijacker in the cockpit of your brain, making you do things the real you never would.The conversation covers what burnout actually looks like versus just being tired or stressed, and why veterans in particular are so reluctant to get help. Omar is blunt about the stigma, but he's equally blunt about the excuses. TriCare covers treatment. Corporate benefits packages cover therapy. You can schedule a session on your lunch break and nobody needs to know. The resources exist. The harder part is deciding you're worth using them.One of the most powerful threads in this episode is the difference between powering through and real resilience. Omar held a gun to his own temple while powering through a job he hated in a city he never wanted to live in. He knows the difference from the inside. Resilience, he says, is bouncing back. Powering through with an untreated mental health condition is just damage accumulating until your body or your brain forces the issue.He also talks about the identity crisis that hits veterans when they leave service and walk into corporate America leading with their rank and their medals, only to find out nobody in the room knows what a combat action badge is or why it should matter to them. The reframe he had to learn was painful but necessary.Omar now teaches accounting and finance at UNC Charlotte, sits on veteran entrepreneur boards, and wrote the book West Point to Wall Street: My Journey to Mental Wellness. His audiobook just dropped. His message is simple: raise your hand, make the call, and deal with the rest once you're healthy. Everything else can wait.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION I sat down with Lux, Chief Commercial Officer at OpenPayd, and this conversation genuinely surprised me. Lux started out as an FX trader at JP Morgan , the guy who once typed 'Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme' into a Bloomberg chat , and now he's helping build one of the most quietly impressive fintech infrastructure companies out there. We got into how OpenPayd has grown to over 1,200 institutional clients, processed over $200 billion in volume annually, stayed cash flow positive for five years, and never taken a single round of funding. We talked about why financial institutions are now OpenPayd's fastest growing vertical, what the stablecoin sandwich actually means for cross-border payments, and whether crypto is really dead or just maturing. Lux also shared his contrarian take on why the era of 150% Ethereum weeks is probably behind us , and why that's actually a good sign. If you're in fintech, payments, or crypto infrastructure, this one is worth your time. DISCLAIMERNothing mentioned in this podcast is investment advice and please do your own research.

This episode of the New Books Network's Entrepreneurship and Leadership channel features Richard Lucas in conversation with entrepreneur and community builder Ben Brabyn about Walkabout, a global movement that brings people together for monthly walks and open conversations. Walkabout began in Green Park, London, in June 2023 as a low‑friction alternative to venue‑based events and now runs in about 37 locations worldwide, welcoming anyone who wants to join a friendly, curiosity‑driven walking group. Ben explains how Walkabout's simplicity—free, open, lightly structured—attracts a high proportion of multidisciplinary participants, many with PhDs, and how emergent collaborations have led to startups, investment, hiring, and pro bono work on “thorny” challenges like non‑compressible haemorrhage and electric vehicle battery fires. Inspired by Richard Feynman's habit of carrying a dozen long‑term problems in his back pocket, Walkabout offers participants an evolving set of shared challenges they can keep in mind and revisit whenever they learn something new, effectively serving as a living, collective version of “Feynman's 12 problems. A recurring theme is serendipity: Richard and Ben discuss how Walkabout exemplifies the kind of designed chance encounters that David Cleevely describes in his book “Serendipity: It Doesn't Happen By Accident,” and how Cleevely himself both influenced and later joined Walkabout events. Lessons learned include the power of radical welcome, the importance of not over‑optimizing for scale or vanity metrics, and the value of formats where multidisciplinary dialogue and unexpected connections can flourish. Ben and Richard also touch on Walkabout's business structure within Amitypath Limited, its use of platforms like Mighty Networks and LinkedIn, and Ben's broader journey from the Royal Marines and JP Morgan to founding crowdfunding platform BmyCharity and leading Level39.Links Ben Brabyn Linkedin Amitypath Interview with David Cleevely on the NBN about his book Serendipity About Richard Feynman's 12 problems Walkabout Learn more about your ad choices.

Jes Staley's Epstein narrative was built around distance, professionalism, and minimization: he repeatedly tried to frame Jeffrey Epstein as a former client or business contact from his JPMorgan days rather than a genuinely close personal associate. That version began to collapse as regulators, court filings, and released communications showed something far more intimate and sustained. Staley and Epstein exchanged more than 1,000 emails after Epstein's 2008 conviction, with messages described by the UK Financial Conduct Authority as reflecting the “strength” of their friendship, not merely a routine banker-client relationship. The record also showed that Barclays told regulators Staley “did not have a close relationship” with Epstein and that their last contact was well before Staley joined Barclays, claims that later became central to the finding that Staley misled the FCA.What shattered the narrative was the sheer weight of the paper trail: affectionate language, repeated communications, personal favors, unexplained references, reported visits, and Staley's own admission that he had consensual sex with a member of Epstein's staff. Instead of looking like a banker who had made a regrettable professional association, Staley began to look like someone who had understated the closeness of a relationship that continued well after Epstein was publicly known as a convicted sex offender. The consequences were severe: Staley resigned from Barclays in 2021, was fined and banned by the FCA from holding senior financial roles, then failed to overturn that ban in 2025 after a tribunal found he had acted without integrity in how he handled the Epstein questions. Now, with Staley set to appear before the House Oversight Committee on July 23, the same basic issue follows him into Congress: his public version of the Epstein relationship has repeatedly failed when placed against the documentary record.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The consequences were severe: Staley resigned from Barclays in 2021, was fined and banned by the FCA from holding senior financial roles, then failed to overturn that ban in 2025 after a tribunal found he had acted without integrity in how he handled the Epstein questions. Now, with Staley set to appear before the House Oversight Committee on July 23, the same basic issue follows him into Congress: his public version of the Epstein relationship has repeatedly failed when placed against the documentary record.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Fidelity opened a brokerage account for a Jeffrey Epstein-owned company in mid-April 2019, just months before Epstein's July 2019 arrest and at a time when public outrage over his earlier sweetheart deal was already intensifying. The account was opened for Southern Trust Company, Epstein's Virgin Islands-based entity, and it received more than $5 million before Fidelity apparently moved to restrict it to “closing transactions only” in late May 2019. The account was disclosed in a suspicious activity report filed after Epstein's arrest, and the details came from a Justice Department file that was briefly released as part of Epstein-related disclosures before later being replaced with a fully redacted version.The timing is the central issue: Fidelity opened the account after the Miami Herald's major 2018 reporting had renewed scrutiny of Epstein, after a federal judge ruled that DOJ had violated victims' rights in the 2008 deal, and after more than 100 lawmakers had demanded that DOJ reopen the Epstein investigation. The Fidelity account reportedly moved millions, including funds wired from Deutsche Bank and later large transfers to Puerto Rican banks, before the account appeared to be emptied by the time Fidelity filed its SAR. The revelation adds Fidelity to the list of major financial institutions that handled Epstein-linked money, alongside JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank, and Charles Schwab, and it raises the same core question that has followed the Epstein money trail for years: why did powerful financial institutions continue servicing him even when the public record already made him radioactive?to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Fidelity opened account for Epstein, even as outrage grew - ICIJ
Jes Staley, the former Barclays chief executive and former JPMorgan Chase executive, has agreed to sit for a voluntary, transcribed interview with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on July 23 about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The interview was requested by Oversight Chairman James Comer as part of the committee's broader probe into how Epstein was able to maintain access to elite financial, legal, political, and social networks for years despite his criminal history. Staley is a particularly important witness because he previously ran JPMorgan's private wealth and asset management operations, where Epstein was a major client, and because his own relationship with Epstein has already drawn serious regulatory, legal, and reputational scrutiny.The focus is not just that Staley knew Epstein, but how close that relationship was, what JPMorgan understood about Epstein while he remained a client, and whether major institutions ignored warning signs because Epstein was financially useful and socially connected. Staley has long maintained that he did not know about Epstein's criminal conduct, but prior proceedings and disclosures have raised questions about the depth of their friendship, including personal communications and findings by UK regulators that led to Staley being banned from senior financial roles. His July 23 interview now places him alongside other high-profile Epstein-linked figures expected to face congressional questioning, including Bill Gates, Leon Black, and Kathryn Ruemmler, as lawmakers continue trying to fill in the gaps left by settlements, sealed records, institutional evasions, and years of official failure.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Former Barclays CEO Jes Staley agrees to July 23 interview about Jeffrey Epstein by oversight panel

Ram, Austin, and Chris discuss whether that small sale signals a deeper structural tension between equity holders, preferred holders, and Bitcoin itself. They also covered the news that Anthropic filed for an IPO at a valuation approaching $1 trillion. The hosts lay out the bull and bear cases and ask whether retail investors can realistically get a 10x out of a company already priced like a finished product. Unpacking a spicier moment, they also discussed the moment when JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon called Coinbase's Brian Armstrong “full of shit” on live TV over the Clarity Act. Ram says crypto's window of peak political power is closing fast, while Austin gives crypto lobbyists a great idea for how to turn the banks' stablecoin yield crusade against them.
