Tom welcomes back Michael Pento, from Pento Portfolio Strategies. The discussion revolves around the current economic landscape, highlighting the Federal Reserve's challenges in balancing inflation control and recession fears. Pento argues that the Fed is constrained by a "Gordian knot" of conflicting mandates, emphasizing its focus on bailing out banks and managing government debt rather than addressing inflation effectively. He critiques the dual mandate of stable prices and full employment, suggesting that employment rates have little bearing on inflation, which stems from fiat currency devaluation. Pento also delves into the impact of tariffs, particularly those imposed by former President Trump, noting their role in exacerbating economic instability. While he acknowledges the intent behind these measures—to rebuild the middle class and reduce trade deficits—the lack of clear planning and frequent changes create uncertainty for businesses. This unpredictability complicates financial decision-making, especially for manufacturers considering relocating production. Pento advocates for a model that considers credit spreads, real interest rates, and financial conditions. He warns against passive investing in market-cap weighted indices like the S&P 500, which concentrates capital in overvalued stocks and amplifies market volatility. Instead, he recommends an active approach, emphasizing short-term bonds, gold, and selective equity exposure. Pento also discusses the role of gold as a hedge against inflation and economic instability, distinguishing between physical gold (held personally) and liquid paper gold (ETFs and mining stocks). He advises investors to allocate 5% of their net worth to physical gold for safety, with additional exposure to liquid gold based on market conditions. Finally, Pento addresses the potential for geopolitical conflicts, such as tensions with China, to drive demand for gold. He concludes by highlighting the importance of an active investment model in navigating economic uncertainty, emphasizing that investors cannot rely solely on passive strategies or the hope of market recovery.

After years of using wood-chips in the pathways between my garden beds, I switched over to sand pathways two months ago (mid-May 2019). In this podcast I try to answer every question that I have been asked since I made my first video about sand pathways. Have a watch, and let me know if you …
This Q&A I did at ILoveKickboxing Founder Michael Parrella's Mastermind talk was HUGE. 1.5 hours of straight FIRE, answering questions around my theses, building brands, and fitness businesses -straight fire in this one, I think a lot of you would get value from this.
Great questions taken from my Instagram feed as well as LIVE on FB, IG, and everywhere else.
Today's Q&A session was packed with all aspects of training, nutrition, program design and MORE.

The Basics. The low hanging fruit. Sometimes some of the most obvious or simple things get ignored. If you're NOT doing these few little things, it's definitely hurting your business. On this episode of the Massive Agent Podcast, I'll tell you what these things are are, why they're important, and how to fix them. Also, this week, surprising precisely no one, I step on some toes. Maybe even yours! PLUS, in Massive Q & A, I answer Alex Bordes' question about using your personal Facebook profile VS Facebook Business Page; What are the differences? When should you use one over the other? Should you be growing your network on each?
Let me know what you think of this style of episode! Also shoot me questions! StolzFit on Instagram www.facebook.com/jordanstolzfitness www.triplefpodcast.com/contact
Most agents and lenders are approaching their relationship together the completely wrong way, and it's hurting their respective businesses. I'll explain how they have it backwards, how to fix it, and why it's so important to get right. In this week's Massive Q&A, I answer a question I got from Neil Mathweg on his podcast about Custom Audiences and Lookalike Audiences for Facebook Ads. I'll tell you what they are, how to create them, and how to use them to get better results in your Facebook ad campaigns.
Personally, I used to DESPISE LinkedIn. HATED it with a passion. But things change, as has my opinion of LinkedIn. I don't think serious real estate marketers can ignore LinkedIn anymore. In this episode, I explain why, and how LinkedIn is NOT the same platform as it was 6-12 months ago. If you're a content creator, you can't afford to sleep on LinkedIn anymore. Plus, I'll also tell you all about how much I love the National Association of Realtors' "new" logo. This shitstorm about the logo, and the cost to produce it, has been deemed LogoGate, and unless you've been living under a rock these last few days, you have surely heard about it. Then in this week's Massive Q & A, I answer a timely question from Rory Pitts in Puyallup, WA who asks "How would I change my social media strategy if FB just disappeared tomorrow?" Great question!
You've probably heard about Facebook Pixels, but may or may not know how they work. Jason Frazier is here today to talk about how, and why, Realtors and Loan Officers should be using the Facebook Pixel in their real estate marketing plan. We talk about what the Facebook Pixel is, what it's used for, and how you can use it to run more successful Facebook Ads, and have better data on your potential clients. Jason will walk you through how to create your first Custom Audience with the Pixel, once you get it setup. On this week's Massive Q & A, I answer Giuseppe Battista's question, "How often have you reduced your commission to get the deal done? And what other options do you look at before having to reduce...If you reduce?"
I have an ANNOUNCEMENT! But first, provide value. Just provide value. Right? That's all. We hear it over and over, but do we really even know what the hell that means anymore? On this episode, I'll define what it means to provide value in your real estate marketing. Specific examples of things a Realtor can do provide value, and attract business. I'll tell you how I personally provide value, and what it's done for my business. These are all things that you can do yourself, today. In this week's Massive Q & A, I answer Jeff Underwood's question, "What is my pre-MLS marketing strategy?" This is a GREAT episode, personally I think it's the best one so far. I was in the zone and bringing the energy!
We couldn't pack it all into Episode 10, so as a follow-up to last week's episode on Instagram, we dive even deeper into specifics and best practices for using Instagram for real estate. Learn a cool new strategy for getting your Instagram Stories seen by more new people, discover a couple great photo and video editing apps to help take your Instagram content to the next level, and find out more about hashtag placement, and how many to use in the first place. We discuss some new data out there that shows Instagram is starting to change a few things, and how you can stay ahead of the curve to thrive, rather than be hurt by these changes. On this week's Massive Q&A, I answer a great question from Emily Lynch in Murray, KY about how to get leads and win business in a small rural town, where the real estate market is not exactly "hot".
Instagram has become a juggernaut in social media. In some ways, using Instagram and Instagram Stories can be more helpful to your real estate business than even Facebook. But the key is to learn how to use Instagram the RIGHT way. In this episode of the Massive Agent Podcast, we cover: When should you post? How often? How many hashtags should you use? Where to put the hashtags? How to get found by new people through Instagram Stories? What are geotags? This is a great primer on Instagram for anyone who hasn't yet committed to using IG on a regular basis to grow their real estate business. In this week's Massive Q & A, we answer the question: How can you differentiate yourself from everyone else going vlogs, podcasts, and shows? Listen now!
Having a bunch of online reviews almost always leads to more business. Most people do a ton of research and read lots of online reviews before buying something new, trying out a new restaurant, picking a new dentist, and especially choosing a Realtor to sell their home. Consumer behavior has changed dramatically over the last decade, and the importance of having great online reviews (and lots of them!) cannot be overstated. On this episode, I'll tell you exactly where you want to focus on getting reviews, and my personal strategy for getting more clients to actually write reviews. On this week's Massive Q & A, Rick Gonzalez asks "If you were a brand new agent with only $1000 to get your business jumpstarted, how would you spend the $1,000?"
On this episode, we get back to the basics with some very Low-tech stuff that will make a DRAMATIC difference in your real estate business. We announce a new contest for Massive Agent listeners. How asking yourself one simple question can help your business explode. Plus, the story of how one simple action can lead to countless deals down the road for real estate agents, but you have to know how it works first. On today's Massive Q&A, I answer a question from Rory Pitts in Puyallup, WA about whether or not Realtors should use a content calendar for social media.
On this episode, we dive into the changes coming to Facebook's News Feed and algorithm. What is changing? What does Facebook want from you? Do you need to change the way you use Facebook? Is your business Page at risk? We'll discuss everything you need to know. In this episode we start taking your marketing questions and answer one on the show. We're calling it Massive Q & A. Our first question asks how an agent can survive when moving to a completely new city and starting over from scratch. You don't want to miss this one!
This week on CC Unplugged, we have a very special guest in the form of Matt Sforcina, also known as the former AWF Champion, Massive Q. Now, Mr. Sforcina also happens to host the gaming column, Ask 411 Games, and has a lot to say of what goes on behind the controller. Instead of questioning this giant about his ring skills, we speak this week about the relevancy of emotions in video gaming. Other topics such as Sega and the next generation of consolesare also discussed, so this is one show not to miss. Matt Sforcina otherwise known as Massive Q is a professional wrestler and writer working for AWF Wrestling and 411Mania respectively. He is a former AWF Champion and current host of his own podcast known as Cheap Heat Radio. He is known as one of Australian wrestling's biggest monsters and all around bad guys. Massive Q is gonna eat you!
