You'll learn how to think ahead of get ready for what's next in this conversation with Rod Santomassimo. Rod is the founder and president of The Massimo Group, a leading national commercial real estate coaching and consulting organization. He has more than 20 years of experience in the commercial real estate industry as a broker, owner, and manager of local, regional, and international firms. Rod is a best-selling author with books that include Brokers Who Dominate, Teams Built to Dominate, Knowing Isn't Doing, and most recently, Dominators of Commercial Real Estate Brokerage.   In the interview, Rod discusses the pandemic as an accelerator that led to hybrid working, telecommuting, and teleconferences, among other advances. He also covers ways to leverage AI to stay on top of trends and make processes more efficient. “What's happening right now in AI and the AI world is the greatest accelerant that we have ever seen in our history in regards to what is possible and how quickly it can happen,” he shares. When discussing the key attributes to look for in a broker, Rod suggests searching for an advisory figure. While a broker's role is often viewed as a facilitator of the transaction, the true dominating brokers will focus on the facilitation of a relationship. “That's what matters,” Rod says. “One question I would always ask a broker is, ‘Tell me a time where you advised your client not to sell.'” He also mentions seeking a broker who is a specialist or has a team of specialists. In addition, he states, “One mistake that most investors make is they focus on the fee versus the result.”   To find more opportunities, Rod mentions the power of creating a presence pyramid. This consists of personal, physical, and digital layers. Establishing a presence as either a broker or investor in the marketplace can help you reach a broader audience and gain credibility in the space. “Presence is paramount in everything you do,” Rod says. During the episode, Rod encourages listeners to find a mentor and ask three questions when connecting: What's new? What's next? What do you need? “Intellectual curiosity will be the way to grow—be the doer,” he adds. You can connect with Rod at his website The Massimo Group and find his books on the Resources page.

He has also worked with the private wealth team at Deutsche Bank and as a portfolio manager and analyst at Chestnut Ridge Capital. In addition, Adam founded and sold Freshpair.com, an ecommerce company. Adam was intrigued with real estate from early on, as he walked blocks and neighborhoods while studying at NYU.

Along the way he learned valuable lessons, such as how to put capital together and the emphasis on personal relationships in real estate. He applied these to his later efforts with his partner at KABR. Today Adam's firm focuses on the geographical areas of the New York metro area and the Southeastern region of the U.S. Looking back on his track record, he says, “Being able to trust someone is almost more important than anything else. It doesn't guarantee outcomes, but it does guarantee alignment.” He also emphasizes the value of teamwork, saying, “It's about collaborating and making it interesting.”   For beginning investors, Adam shares the importance of looking for ways to be helpful. Part of his success was built on his willingness to reach out and share information with others without expecting anything in return. “If you love real estate, the best way to do something is to go and do it,” he says.

On this week's episode, You'll learn how to get connected to others in real estate and build a track record in this conversation with Shawn DiMartile. Shawn is a real estate investor based in San Diego with more than 300 rental units, a boutique hotel, and several Airbnbs, with a cumulative value of more than $50 million. He is also host of the podcast The Real Estate Takeoff and co-founder of Takeoff Capital. Shawn is a U.S. Navy veteran and worked as an air traffic controller prior to investing in real estate. During his time as an air traffic controller, Shawn found he lacked time freedom, often working six days a week and putting in long hours. After looking into real estate, he liquidated his 401(k) to partner with his now business associate on a 32-unit apartment property located in Indiana. The investment presented several challenges, though within two years, they were able to triple the value of the asset and sell for a substantial profit. The experience left an impression on Shawn and motivated him to further pursue real estate investing. Recognizing the need for guidance to scale his efforts, Shawn found a mentor who had been an accomplished apartment investor for more than two decades and had a portfolio with 8,000 units. Shawn went on to syndicate his first 150-unit multifamily property in 2021. Just two months later, he syndicated a 145-unit multifamily property. With an eye for San Diego, Shawn recognized the historic limitations for investors based on low cap rates and landlord tenant laws. However, when San Diego implemented its ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) Bonus program to resolve its housing crisis, Shawn found an opportunity to create a niche and build additional rental units on properties. He outlines his investment strategy in his ebook “California Gold.” During the episode, Shawn encourages listeners to overcome the fear of making mistakes when starting out, and to look for ways to contribute when connecting with others. “Become friends and surround yourself with real estate in every way you can,” he shares. “Then start as early as you can to provide value to other people.” You can connect with Shawn through Instagram and his website Investor Shawn.

You'll learn valuable information about affordable housing, institutional investing, and senior living in this conversation with Chris Finlay. Chris is CEO and chairman of Lloyd Jones, a global real estate investment firm with subsidiaries in development and construction. It also has a platform called AVIVA Senior Living and concentrations in multifamily and the hospitality industry. Its investment partners include institutions, family offices, accredited investors, and its own principals. Chris began his career as a commercial airline pilot with Eastern Airlines and invested in real estate on the side. His real estate business evolved, and in 1983 he shifted from the airline industry to focus exclusively on commercial real estate. He opened Finlay Company, which grew into one of the largest real estate firms in New England. In 1990, Chris delved into real estate development and during the next 15 years developed, constructed, and managed approximately 40 multifamily and senior housing communities and luxury condominiums. When the Great Recession of 2008 hit, it provided numerous investment opportunities in the multifamily segment, and Chris began investing in the asset class. Those investments led to Lloyd Jones, a company that offered outside investors an opportunity to participate in the acquisitions. Several years later, Chris added senior living and development subsidiaries to capitalize on the exploding demand for senior housing. More recently, spotting opportunities in the hospitality industry, he added a hotel investment division to the company.  Now with a 40-year track record in real estate, Chris also has educational credentials which include Upper Canada College and post-graduate studies at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. He has completed extensive industry training and participates on the board of the National Multifamily Housing Council.

For listeners starting their journey, he shares, “Primarily we've been a multifamily developer, investor, and owner, and I'm a believer that it's the best asset class in the world for anybody to be in.” He also sees unique opportunities in senior living. Regarding what's ahead, he says, “I think there's been a disruption in the market, and we have a period of time here before it gets corrected—and then it will be a very nice ride up.” You can connect with Chris at his company website Lloyd Jones and also AVIVA Senior Living.

You'll learn about gauging risk and spotting opportunities in this conversation with Kaitlin McCarthy. Kaitlin established Ionic Development Company, which is a certified Woman Business Enterprise, in 2022. She has more than 10 years of experience managing large development and construction projects in downtown Boston. Before she founded Ionic, Kaitlin served as vice president at The HYM Investment Group. She has worked on projects such as The Sudbury with 368 apartments and 55 condos, and One Congress, which is the world headquarters of State Street Bank. Kaitlin grew up in Connecticut and had an interest in architecture from early on. She studied engineering at Northeastern University in Boston, and leaned into construction management, working for a company called Turner Construction after graduating. While there, she became fascinated with the concepts and many pieces that went into creating a space. To gain skills to help her with the development perspective, she went to Harvard for a MBA. After finishing her studies there, Kaitlin went into management consulting and worked for Boston Consulting Group. While she gained insight into business and strategy, she also realized she missed the building aspects. With that in mind, in 2017 she connected with HYM Investment Group, a large real estate developer in Boston. During the pandemic, Kaitlin used the time to step back and realized she wasn't seeing any women-owned developers in her area. She had an “aha” moment and thought, “Maybe I can go out and try this on my own…to make a difference in what the scene of Boston real estate development looks like.” In 2022, she took the leap and started her own company, Ionic, a real estate development firm. Even though the market is going through a challenging time, Kaitlin has found opportunities to pursue development management assignments and projects. From brainstorming the answer to handling office buildings to using technology in new ways, she focuses on the task at hand and maintains a willingness to take a risk. She believes a mindset to try new things and think differently will help set her company apart in the coming years.

With more than 30 years of experience in the commercial real-estate industry, John is the founder and president of CMK Properties, and has developed more than $200 million of real estate. In addition to his business accomplishments, John is a triathlete and a two-time Ironman finisher. He also serves on advisory boards and in various nonprofit capacities. John grew up on a dairy farm just outside of Green Bay, Wisconsin, where he was taught to have a strong work ethic. “When we were building a shed, building on the barn, renovating the house…we did as much work as we could ourselves,” he says. This fostered a passion for construction, and right out of college, John took on a two-family fixer upper. He made the needed repairs, rented the place, and became hooked on real estate. He obtained a general contractor license and started to take on larger projects, eventually expanding into multiple states. Facing the decision of whether to become a national-level general contractor or focus on what he loved doing, which was real estate development and investment, John opted for the latter. He also laid out objectives to grow that were attainable, timely, and realistic. He has continued with this strategy, and today holds regular meetings with his team to talk about business goals. Together they break them down into people, operations, marketing, sales, and financial aspects.

You'll gain incredible insight on how to jump in, surround yourself with high performers, and communicate in this conversation with Ryan Tseko. Ryan is the Executive Vice President at Cardone Capital in the Miami metro area and has completed acquisitions with a transaction value of over $2.9 billion, secured more than $1.9 billion of debt financing, and has been actively involved in launching every investment vehicle for the company. He holds a B.S. in Aviation and Airway Management from Utah Valley State University.    Growing up, Ryan observed his uncle, who was a builder and gave him a job at the age of 13. While Ryan had an interest in real estate from early on, he decided to begin his career as an airline pilot and continued that trajectory for 10 years. During this time, he also invested in real estate, building up a portfolio of 21 units.     He discovered Grant Cardone, a renowned business expert and real estate investor, on YouTube, and wanted to get involved with him to pursue his real estate goals. Ryan called the front desk of the company to ask for a job interview, and soon was working alongside Grant every day. He spent the next years learning the day-to-day work of real estate, as he did weekly calls with properties to track performance, carried out due diligence, and ultimately worked through every vertical. He went on to help build teams and expand the real estate business to move deals faster. “Partnerships aren't just internal—they're external and they're powerful,” he says.   Over the next years, Cardone Capital expanded from 200 investors to more than 13,000. Amid that growth, Ryan and his team wanted to prioritize investor relationships. “More than 90% of our investors have talked to a real live person in our office,” he says.   Today, Cardone Capital acquires and manages real estate properties with a focus on both near-term income generation and long-term value creation. It aims to provide everyday investors with access to institutional-grade real estate deals. Since 2016, it has raised more than $1 billion across 22 funds. Its portfolio consists of more than 12,000 multifamily units across 36 multifamily properties along with over 500,000 square feet of commercial office space.   Ryan cites parallels between aviation and real estate, including the value of being trainable, having checklists, and following processes and procedures. When flying, he says, “there's a rhyme and reason for everything, and I truly believe the same for real estate.”   You can connect with Ryan through Instagram, YouTube, and also visit Grant Cardone's YouTube channel, Cardone University, and the company website Cardone Capital.   I'm always happy to connect with listeners—you can find me online at: My website: JamesNelson.com LinkedIn: JamesNelsonNYC Instagram: JamesNelsonNYC  Twitter: JamesNelsonNYC My Real Estate Weekly articles: REW-online.com/author/jamesnelson My Forbes.com articles: Forbes.com/sites/jamesnelson

You'll gain a wealth of ideas on how to think outside the box and have a positive social impact in this interview with Matt Blesso, a serial entrepreneur and self-made real estate developer. Throughout his career, Matt has sought opportunities that generate outsized returns and has also focused on modeling a healthy environment and community. He has conceived, developed, and managed a diverse and distinctive portfolio of residential, commercial, and hospitality assets in New York, Panama, and Costa Rica. He is the CEO and founder of Blesso Properties, and the mastermind behind Shift Living, a company dedicated to transforming the way people live. Matt's career began when he graduated from New York University and got a job in commercial banking. While the work helped pay the bills, Matt had an entrepreneurial mindset and soon spotted a real estate opportunity. He became, as he mentions on the show, an “accidental developer,” when he bought his first apartment one year out of college by using a first-time homebuyers program. He fixed it up and two years later, purchased the apartment next door to it. Realizing the potential in the development space, Matt switched to real estate banking and learned all he could about the industry. He pursued more real estate projects in New York City, including building conversions and innovative designs which often led to returns that outperformed the market. While visiting a friend in Panama, Matt looked for a boutique hotel in Panama City where he could stay during his trip. When he couldn't find one, he spotted the chance to develop a place, complete with a public rooftop space—the first of its kind in the historic district. After doing more projects, Matt felt a pull to connect with nature and carry out sustainable projects with a positive social mission. By this point, he had everything in place to support his lifestyle, but wanted to create a real estate model that would help people improve their lives. His search led him to Costa Rica, where he purchased a former farm and initiated a project to regenerate the land and the soil. His vision includes growing food that residents can eat, and creating an environment where residents can interact and find support for their wellbeing and health. “When I started, my goal was to make money,” Matt says on the show. “I've since learned…that it really comes down to having purpose—and having purpose in my work. I'm much happier doing this project than I was doing my earlier projects.” You can connect with Matt through LinkedIn, his website Blesso Properties, and his latest project Shift Living.

You'll learn incredible insight into getting a feel for a neighborhood and developing expertise in a niche market in this interview with Wendy Berger, principal of WBS Equities, LLC. For more than 30 years, Wendy has been involved in the real estate business as a developer, lender, property manager, broker, and investor. She began her career at American National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago in commercial lending. Wendy also spent several years as a principal with Berger Realty Group, an 80-year-old family-owned real estate business, where she focused on residential and industrial property management and development. She was responsible for managing 3,000 apartment units, 200,000 square feet of commercial space, and 250,000 square feet of industrial space. Wendy has also paired her decade of experience in technology startups with her real estate knowledge for successful outcomes. Wendy grew up in a family that was involved in the real estate business in Chicago and has memories of playing at construction sites as a child. She vividly recalls riding through the same neighborhoods repeatedly, as her relatives observed trends in the area and looked for indicators that change was coming. This background helped her establish the value of getting on the ground to find opportunities. “You cannot buy or build real estate sitting at your desk,” she says. After spending time in the technology space, Wendy spotted a real estate investment project and purchased an older hotel in Chicago, which she renovated both physically and digitally. Taking advantage of the rising trend in online bookings, she successfully marketed the hotel and increased the number of rooms rented. She went on to sell the property in early 2007 and applied the lessons she learned to her next deals. Through her connections, Wendy was given an opportunity to oversee the construction of a pizza manufacturing facility. After completing the project successfully, she realized a great opportunity in building food manufacturing and food distribution facilities. She has formed a team of experts to help carry out these projects which often involve long-term commitments. She actively invests alongside her partner and keeps terms simple to make returns easy for everyone involved. Wendy serves on the board of directors for Green Thumb Industries and has branched into the cannabis space in recent times. Today Wendy regularly mentors young women who are interested in the real estate industry and encourages other to make courageous career moves. “Think big and don't worry about whether it's possible or not,” she says. “Big thinking precedes great accomplishments.” You can connect with Wendy at LinkedIn or at her website WBS Equities, LLC.

Whether you're interested in active or passive investing, you'll get key takeaways on how to expand your footprint from this episode featuring Charles Carillo, a real estate investor and entrepreneur. Charles has been involved in multifamily and commercial real estate investments since 2006. He is the managing partner of Harborside Partners, a real estate syndication firm, and has invested in more than $200 million worth of investment real estate to date. He's also the host of the Global Investors Podcast, in which he interviews professionals about investing in U.S. real estate and educates listeners about industry-related topics.   Charles grew up in Connecticut and watched his father's practices, which included being a multifamily investor and owning about 100 units in the area. The experience helped him learn the inner workings of property management, such as dealing with tenants and making decisions about repairs. He also saw the time flexibility his father was able to have as an investor.   During the conversation, Charles advises starting out small, such as with a two- to four-unit multifamily building. That's exactly what he did in 2006, when he purchased a three-unit property and lived in one of the units. He put into play some of the knowledge he had gained from observing his father to manage the building. He then went on to purchase more properties nearby.   Spotting opportunities to expand, Charles forayed into other areas of the country, starting with Florida. He saw the synergies that could come from syndications, and established systems to vet deals and operators. Today, having invested in 13 states, he mentions the value of looking for job growth, population growth, and decreases in crime over the past two decades in a region. He also has implemented strategies to create efficiencies, including using AI as a tool to inform investors and cater to their communication preferences.   Along the way, Charles fielded questions from those living outside of the U.S. who were interested in real estate within the country's borders. In response, he shared deal opportunities with them and developed resources related to foreign investing. He also uses a referral network to connect investors with required legal work that is involved. He strives to educate those interested in real estate on the importance of studying locations, learning about markets, and working with the right people to get ahead.   You can connect with Charles at his website HarborsidePartners.com and his show, the Global Investors Podcast.   And I'm always happy to connect with listeners—you can find me online at: My website: JamesNelson.com LinkedIn: JamesNelsonNYC Instagram: JamesNelsonNYC Twitter: JamesNelsonNYC My Real Estate Weekly articles: REW-online.com/author/jamesnelson My Forbes.com articles: Forbes.com/sites/jamesnelson  

You'll gain incredible insight in this conversation with George Giannopoulos and Jeffrey Znaty, co-founders of Kings Capital. They share the power of following a regimen, both personally and professionally, which can help you gain an advantage in the real estate world. They advise starting small and taking on bigger deals as you grow, a strategy that has helped them gain an outstanding track record.  Kings Capital is a vertically integrated real estate investment and management firm headquartered in Brooklyn, New York. It specializes in value-add creation through the acquisition, design, and repositioning of multifamily, mixed-use and retail assets. It also carries out ground-up development projects in both core and transitional neighborhoods across the U.S.   George and Jeffrey both grew up in Brooklyn but didn't cross paths and connect until later in life. George graduated with a finance degree from St. John's University and went on to attend NYU Schack Real Estate Institute. He cofounded a real estate brokerage firm focused on off-market investments in the New York City metro area. Later he started Brickstone Properties, a boutique investment firm focused on value add, redevelopment and development properties. Jeffrey holds a degree in business management from Brooklyn College and has actively handled real estate deals for the past decade in New York City. He has been involved in more than $400 million worth of transactions in some of the most complicated and encumbered deals in New York. A background in brokerage enabled George and Jeffrey to look at many deals and ask investors questions about their projects. George tuned in to buyers who were repositioning properties and looking to add value. Jeffrey started putting his knowledge to work on the investing side and invited George to join in on a deal. The two began taking on projects and eventually formed what is known today as Kings Capital. Looking back on their keys to success, George and Jeffrey credit going the extra mile, following routines, maintaining relationships, and valuing in-person time. They stay in touch with brokers and manage an extensive network, which helps them grow into bigger projects. Being consistent has opened doors to tremendous opportunities and enabled them to gain a competitive edge.    You can connect with George and Jeffrey at: LinkedIn: George Giannapoulus LinkedIn: Jeffrey Znaty Website: KingsCapitalre.com Instagram: KingsCapitalre And I'm always happy to connect with listeners—you can find me online at: My website: JamesNelson.com LinkedIn: JamesNelsonNYC Instagram: JamesNelsonNYC Twitter: JamesNelsonNYC My Real Estate Weekly articles: REW-online.com/author/jamesnelson My Forbes.com articles: Forbes.com/sites/jamesnelson 

On this episode of The Insider's Edge to Real Estate Investing, I speak with Oren Neria, a real estate investor and principal of MY BK Investments. We discuss the competitive landscape for brokerage in neighborhoods around Manhattan and the success of targeting smaller, more efficient areas like Northern Manhattan and submarkets in Brooklyn. We also delve into Neria's experience in acquisitions and how he uses rejection as an opportunity to grow. With an eye on Brooklyn and smaller value add deals, Neria believes there are discounts to be had with a bullish outlook on the market.  We also delve into Oren's personal story, including his experience negotiating his starting salary and the importance of understanding the principal of the company you work for. Oren Neria is the Principal and Founder of MY BK Investments. Throughout his 13-year career, Oren has developed extensive relationships in the Brooklyn market and successfully purchased over 50 investment properties. He currently owns a sizable portfolio of mix-use, multi-family and commercial properties in NYC.  Before founding My BK Investments, Oren was the Vice President of Acquisitions for G-way Management. He worked directly with the firm's founder on acquiring, developing, and managing the existing portfolio. Over three years, Oren led the acquisition team in purchasing over 40 buildings with a total value exceeding $100 million. Oren began his career in the real estate sector as an investment sales broker specializing in Upper Manhattan multifamily sales. He successfully closed deals valued at over $150 million during his tenure. Oren graduated with a BA from Boston University in History and Philosophy.  Guest: Orien Neria Website: mybk-investments.com  Linkedin: Oren Neria Instagram: Oren Neria — Host: James Nelson My website: JamesNelson.com LinkedIn: JamesNelsonNYC Instagram: JamesNelsonNYC Twitter: JamesNelsonNYC My Real Estate Weekly articles: REW-online.com/author/jamesnelson My Forbes.com articles: Forbes.com/sites/jamesnelson  

You are going to get a tremendous benefit from this conversation I had with Alex Budney, who shares how to start off in real estate investing and ultimately build your own platform. Alex is the founder of Ennismore, a real estate investment, management and consulting firm. Since its beginning, Ennismore has advised on or sponsored more than $2.1 billion of active real estate projects. In addition to implementing Ennismore's principal investment strategy, Alex counsels various real estate owners and financial institutions on their real estate investments and strategy. A key component of his tremendous track record stems from conviction, as he bought into the market in 2020, shortly after the onset of Covid and at a time when most were on the sidelines. Alex spotted an opportunity and purchased a property that was almost entirely vacant! In this episode, Alex shares his journey into real estate and offers tips for those who want to develop their own area of expertise. He grew up on New York City's East Side and became intrigued by buildings at an early age, including how they were constructed and their history. He studied floor plans as a young teen and thought about what it would be like to live in an apartment or co-op. After graduating with a degree in Business and Economics from Lehigh University, Alex went to work for his father, who had a construction company that served developers, including large multifamily builders. The way deals were put together fascinated him. During this time, Alex spotted a piece of land and put together an idea for it, which he presented to a developer. The pitch opened doors for him, and he landed a job at Related Capital Company, which gave him a chance to learn about the financials of the business. He later shifted to Tishman Speyer, where he showed up early for work every day and got to know his boss. The extra effort paid off, and during his time with the company Alex worked in the London and New York offices as Director in the Acquisitions & Development and Equity Capital Markets groups. The experiences gave Alex insight into various aspects of real estate, including international approaches and development. He eventually branched into his own space and discovered a niche he could fill, which consists of offering advice to owners and financial institutions with real estate interests. Reflecting on his career, Alex credits his success to listening to others, being eager to learn, and moving forward with opportunities. You can connect with Alex on LinkedIn and at his website, Ennismore, LLC.   And I'm always happy to connect with listeners—you can find me online at: My website: JamesNelson.com  LinkedIn | Instagram | Twitter: JamesNelsonNYC  My Real Estate Weekly articles: REW-online.com/author/jamesnelson My Forbes.com articles: Forbes.com/sites/jamesnelson

We're coming off a spectacular 2022 season called March Madness, where all of America stops and pays attention to college basketball, whether its men's or women's. If we're lucky, fans can be treated to magical moments, even magical runs where a team plays well above its tournament seeding. In 2022, Saint Peter's University from New Jersey made one of those magical runs as the 15th seed, upsetting perennial tourney favorite Kentucky in their opening game, followed by another upset of Murray State. Almost immediately, social media and journalists crowed that these two wins would elevate Saint Peter's financially and reputationally. Wild claims were asserted about what impact a Cinderella run might mean. Conjecture is one thing, but actual analysis and research is quite another. My guests today have done the research on the benefits of a run through the NCAA tournament, winning at least 2 games as the lower seed. They will walk us through what the statistics show, and the actual benefits of, a winning streak in the post season. This is especially important for senior campus leaders who want to separate fact from fiction. I'm joined by Drs. Kurt Rotthoff, Trevor Collier and Nancy Haskell. Dr. Rotthoff is a Professor of Economics and Finance at Seton Hall University; Dr. Collier is a Dean and Professor of Economics at the University of Dayton; and Dr. Haskell is an Assistant Professor of Economics, also at the University of Dayton. Each are co-authors in the 2020 study “The “Cinderella Effect”: The Value of Unexpected March Madness Runs as Advertising for the Schools”, published in the Journal of Sports Economics.

Heads up, everybody! We are launching a weekly news recap, so stay tuned after the interview to find out about the top stories in crypto this week! (Links below.) Zachary Fallon, principal at Blakemore Fallon and former SEC staffer, explains why the SEC penalty against Block.One, which raised $4 billion in a yearlong ICO, got a penalty of just $24 million and didn't have to register EOS tokens as securities. He also discusses how this differs from the Kik case, what we can learn from another SEC order this week against Nebulous and what other gray areas remain for potential token issuers who may want to sell to U.S. citizens. We also go over the Crypto Rating Council, and what significance those ratings could have on the way they are regulated, if any.

While many companies like to use buzzwords like crypto, blockchain, AI and encryption, Numerai actually combines all these technologies in a novel way. Founder Richard Craib discusses how his hedge fund started off crowdsourcing good financial models from data scientists to optimize its trading strategies in global equities. He then explains how it airdropped a token, the Numeraire, to those data scientists, giving them the option to stake some Numeraire for models they were especially confident in, and how staked models have higher returns. He also describes Numerai's new Erasure protocol, which helps build a marketplace for predictions for sellers who could profit more from selling their predictions than trading on them, and for buyers who can now use the signal of staking to filter between good and bad data. We dive into the protocol's "griefing" process, in which buyers can punish sellers, as well as the thorny issue of whether selling predictions based on proprietary information could constitute insider trading. Plus, we explore whether or not other hedge funds would really want to buy a token created by another hedge fund, and what Numerai's plans are to become more decentralized. Thank you to our sponsor!

This week, because I was busy with my TEDx talk and my book, I decided to do an episode in which I answer your questions. Thank you to everyone who submitted one, and I'm so sorry I didn't get to all your questions. In this episode, I talk about what's necessary to gain wider adoption, how I think the next bull run will manifest and how Bitcoin would behave in a serious financial crisis. Plus, I reveal which areas of the industry I think will blossom, and which areas I'm less optimistic about. I also answer what people who are just getting into the technology can do in the space, why the oracle problem is so challenging and how it can be resolved, and what the velocity problem is, and whether it applies especially to Ethereum. I also delve into privacy coins, whether or not the lower overall crypto market volatility we're seeing now will continue, and where this trend with stablecoins is going.
