In this episode of Lead-Lag Live, I sit down with Grant Cardone for a wide-ranging and unusually candid conversation on Bitcoin, real estate, and what it really means to invest with conviction.Grant is blunt about one thing most people never admit: even after buying Bitcoin for years, he doesn't pretend certainty. He openly talks about the discomfort of drawdowns, the difference between conviction and having a low cost basis, and why buying through volatility matters more than sounding confident online. Rather than selling a perfect narrative, he's honest about doubt, risk, and why not investing at all is the bigger danger.From Bitcoin as a technology of money to real estate as a long-term cash-flow engine, Grant explains how wealthy investors think about scale, units, and holding assets through cycles instead of trading headlines.In this episode:– Why Grant says saving money destroys wealth– How he thinks about Bitcoin without pretending certainty– The difference between conviction and a cheap entry price– Why wealthy investors focus on units, not price– How Bitcoin and real estate play different roles in long-term wealthLead-Lag Live brings you inside conversations with the financial thinkers who shape markets.

In this episode of Lead-Lag Live, I sit down with Seth Cogswell, Managing Partner at Running Oak Capital, to break down why today's market feels increasingly speculative and why disciplined investing is being left behind.From meme-style factor leadership and zombie-company outperformance to extreme concentration and AI spending risk, Cogswell explains why chasing returns tends to end the same way and how investors can position for when the cycle turns.In this episode:– Why the last eight months looked like a speculative outlier– How high volatility and low quality leadership distorts portfolios– How AI spending can flip from narrative to accountability– Where discipline fits when clients still want growth exposureLead-Lag Live brings you inside conversations with the financial thinkers who shape markets.

In this episode of Lead-Lag Live, Michael Gayed sits down with Dodd Kittsley, Co-CIO of Davis Advisors, to discuss why fundamental research and selectivity are becoming increasingly critical as markets transition into a period of normalized interest rates.From Davis Advisors' 60-year history of “eating their own cooking” to the evolution of active equity ETFs, Kittsley explains how a high-conviction, benchmark-agnostic investment philosophy can help investors compound capital over the long term—especially in a richly valued market.From the “time arbitrage” embedded in their discipline to their views on AI-driven growth and undervalued financials, Kittsley outlines why what investors don't own may matter just as much as what they do in the next market cycle.In this episode:– Why Davis Advisors pioneered the active equity ETF space nearly a decade ago– The benefits of high-conviction, concentrated portfolios that ignore benchmarks– How “picks and mortars” technology is reshaping financials like Capital One– Valuation discipline in an overvalued market and the risks of unsustainable dividends– The “time arbitrage” advantage of long-term ownership and owner-operator focusLead-Lag Live brings you inside conversations with the financial thinkers who shape markets.

Henry also explains China's push into robotics and how it fits alongside US leadership in chips and software.To bring it back to portfolios, Henry breaks down why KWEB tends to react strongly to policy headlines, how KLIP uses that volatility to generate monthly income, and simple ways to combine the two depending on your goals.In this episode:• What's changing in US–China trade• China's growing AI ecosystem• Why enterprise fine-tuning matters• How robotics and chips fit into the story• How KWEB behaves during policy shifts• How KLIP turns volatility into incomeLead-Lag Live brings you real conversations with the people shaping global markets.

In this episode of Lead-Lag Live, Michael Gayed sits down with Cole Wenner from KraneShares to break down the rise of humanoid robots and why the theme is moving from cool demos to real-world deployment. Cole explains embodied intelligence, the labor and aging-population pressures driving demand, and where humanoids are likely to show up first — warehouses, factories, hospitals, and eventually the home.They walk through the three parts of the KOID approach: the “brain” (AI and semiconductors), the “body” (motors, sensors, actuators, materials), and the integrators building full robots. Cole also highlights why many of the most investable opportunities sit inside the global components supply chain, where costs are falling fast across LiDAR, motors, and compute.The conversation also covers timelines, pilot programs, cost bottlenecks, and how US strength in AI and China's manufacturing advantage could speed adoption.In this episode:• Why humanoids are becoming practical now• First real-world use cases• The KOID framework: brain, body, integrators• Component companies driving early value• What needs to improve for mass adoptionLead-Lag Live brings you conversations with the people shaping global markets.

In this episode of Lead-Lag Live, I sit down with Father Emmanuel Lemelson, activist investor and Orthodox priest, to discuss the intersection of faith, finance, and speculation in an era of market excess.From calling tops in gold and silver to exposing fraud on Wall Street, Fr. Emmanuel argues that modern markets have become spiritually and ethically unmoored — a “Wild West” driven by greed, memes, and misplaced faith in AI. He shares his candid views on what true stewardship means, why hoarding gold is spiritually toxic, and why investors need humility more than hype.In this episode:– Why “stacking” gold is spiritual hoarding, not investing– How AI mania mirrors the dot-com bubble of the '90s– The moral hazard of speculation and market idolatry– Where Fr. Emmanuel still finds real value in equities like Adobe and Flower Foods– Why faith and finance don't have to be at oddsLead-Lag Live brings you inside conversations with the financial thinkers who shape markets.
