For a large part of his early life, today's guest lived in the shadow of his very popular, but very different, older brother. It wasn't until he found his passion for technology in high school, something he found an immediate aptitude for, did he start to come into his own identity, and gain the confidence to pursue his own path in life.Entering technology just post the dot com bubble was humbling. From working on innovative projects to, having to say yes to anything, even gig-economy moving jobs, he did what it took to survive another day.Many years later, a stressful exit from a technology company he co-founded coupled with a physically demanding high-altitude hiking trip, caused a lot of compound health issues to come to the surface. With traditional western approaches not working, a podcast on the healing powers of cannabis piqued his interest; our gust decided to revisit the plant. After a lot of exploration, coupled with his natural tendency to dive deep, he eventually found his cure. With his health on the mend, his exit complete, a lot of deep knowledge of the cannabis plant, a working product, a proven but under-supplied product category, and the funds to get it off the ground; the door was wide open for this next adventure in entrepreneurship. Please enjoy the Founder's Journey of creating a cannabis beverage company with Jason Reposa of Good FeelsProfessional Summary:Jason Reposa is a lifelong dreamer and the Founder and CEO of Good Feels.

Laura Geritz, chief executive officer at Rondure Global Advisors, says that she thinks the domestic stock market rally is late in its current cycle with inflation no longer feeling transitory, noting that she now believes it will take a significant interest rate hike of 1 percent or more to slow growth, but not ruling that kind of move out in the face of rising inflation. Geritz worries that China currently reminds her of Japan in the 1980s, building a bubble around real estate, which she says will have to be deflated carefully so that it doesn't crater global markets. Tom Lydon from ETF Trends.com also covers emerging markets with his pick for ETF of the Week, making a case to go off-trend and go bottom-fishing with high-yield foreign debt. Also on the show, Simon Zhen of MyBankTracker.com discusses how many people plan to spend more time doing holiday shopping than they spend managing their money, and Stephen Luongo of AIR Asset Management talks alternative investments into life settlements, and how they're not the shady worrisome product some people associate with old AM-radio ads.

Jan van Eck, chief executive officer at VanEck, says that government policy 'determines the weather' for markets and policy has been 'insanely supportive' of markets and while that is changing slowly he would suggest that investors have no reason to feel nervous while the Federal Reserve continues to support the market. van Eck talks about three multi-year investable trends, starting with the continued low interest rates and how they encourage people to keep borrowing now, but extending to the transition to renewable energy and then how blockchain technologies will change financial services.  Also on the show, Simon Zhen discusses a recent MyBankTracker.com survey on who Americans learned their financial lessons from, Rosetta Bryson of Simple Trader Pro talks about how the market's technicals show fairly smooth sailing ahead, and Josh Duitz of the Aberdeen Standard Global Infrastructure Income fund talks infrastructure stocks in the Market Call.

Axel Merk of Merk Investments says that the stock market is due for a correction, but not necessarily a bear market, noting that the economic recovery has gone far and that the reopening will fight some of the downward pressures. Merk says that while the market is seen as being 'different' right now, the traditional 'sell in May and go away' thinking might be in place, at least through Labor Day; he's been protecting profits and taking chips off the table but noted that he would not be going short the market now. Also on the show, Simon Zhen of MyBankTracker.com talks about just how much change Americans will stop to pick up, Chuck takes a question about travel insurance now, and David Barse of XOut Capital talks about stocks and enhancing indexes in the Market Call.

David Souccar of the Vontobel Quality Growth fund says there are two markets right now, one featuring very speculative stocks and the other being real growth opportunities, and he notes that 'What you do not own will be as important as what you do own when we get out of this.' But Souccar isn't the only guest expecting tough sledding ahead for the market, as Jeffrey Bierman of TheoTrade.com notes that conditions could force interest rates higher -- which he says would be devastating to the market -- and that nine of the market's 11 sectors are significantly already overvalued, giving the market more downside risk than upside now. Also on the show, Simon Zhen of MyBankTracker.com on surprising consumer banking habits in the pandemic and Randy Warren of Warren Financial talking high-conviction stocks in the Market Call.

Wayne Wicker, chief investment officer at ICMA Retirement Corp. and Vantagepoint Investment Advisors, says that 2020 should have taught investors the benefits of focusing on the long-term, where the results matter more than the day-to-day journey, and he stressed that 2021 will be a year in which diversification is helpful -- because the market will find different sources of leadership as it recovers from the pandemic -- to go along with what ultimately will be 'surprisingly good' results. Also on the show, Tom Lydon of ETFTrends.com makes a unique take on entrepreneurship his ETF of the Week, Simon Zhen of MyBankTracker.com talks about what people do with their spare change, and C.T. Fitzpatrick of Vulcan Value Partners says in the Market Call that people who say value investing is dead aren't defining the style correctly.

Tom Lydon, editor at ETFTrends.com, made the PIMCO Low Duration Active ETF -- ticker symbol LDUR -- his 'ETF of the Week,' noting that the low-duration exchange-traded fund not only mitigates risk but can increase returns from money-market funds by as much as one full point, a significant difference in a time when money mostly parked on the sidelines isn't delivering much return. Also on the show, Jason Reposa of MyBankTracker.com talks about the financial mistakes savers and investors admit to making around the holidays, Rob Lutts of Cabot Wealth Management talks stocks in the Market Call, and we revisit a recent interview with Frank Holmes of US Global Investors.

David Trainer, president of New Constructs, put Netflix stock back in the Danger Zone, noting that the company has overcome troubling analysis that has called for a big decline for a long time, but he said that the stock's underlying circumstances have grown worse as it the share price has defied gravity, and he expects a crash to Earth soon, spurred in part by heightened competition and worrisome spending.

Mark Yusko, chief investment officer at Morgan Creek Asset Management, said in the Market Call that while he is nto expecting a bear market in short order, he does see trouble ahead for the domestic markets, noting that his metrics show large-cap stocks as being 84 percent overvalued. With that in mind, he expects 'bad things to happen' domestically, even as he finds some global valuations appealing.

David Payne, staff economist at Kiplinger.com, said that the economic underpinnings remain solid and strong, but aren't 'amazing,' which should lead to a year of heightened volatility and muted market returns. He noted that the market now seems to expect the Federal Reserve to be done with rate hikes at least until very late int he year. Also on the show, Bill Thrush, Richard Lewis and Ray Baraldi of HighTower Advisors discuss how they help consumers set appropriate expectations, Jason Reposa of MyBankTracker.com talks about what people affected by the government shutdown can do to get some assistance and relief frmo creditors, and Scott Klimo of Saturna Capital and the Amana Funds has the Market Call.
