#740: Jack Raines turned $6,000 into $400,000 trading blank-check stocks during the 2020–2021 bubble — and he says it was some of the least fun money he's ever made. Jack Raines is a writer and investor at Slow Ventures, and the author of the new book Young Money: A Field Guide to Wealth and Purpose in Your Twenties. In this episode, we discuss: Why "golden handcuffs" are almost always a choice, not a trap How to tell if you're staying in a job for the right reasons, or just fear Why the same decision can be exactly right at 24 and wrong at 34 What actually helps when comparison and "falling behind" turn into apathy How he turned $6,000 into $400,000 trading a stock bubble, then gave much of it back Why hitting your number rarely feels like the finish line people expect Two questions worth asking before you spend years on something that isn't working This one's for anyone who feels behind, stuck, or unsure if their current path is a smart trade-off or just fear in disguise — Jack's way of thinking about money and time might be the reset you need. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS Note: Timestamps may vary slightly depending on dynamic ad placements.

Episode 624 is here, and Brian Beckner and Ed Daly are covering an absolutely unhinged collection of stories from sports, entertainment, celebrity culture, and the internet. The guys open with a look back at the history of The Baller Lifestyle and the show's long-running inside joke behind the name before immediately getting into some truly bizarre territory. IN THIS EPISODE: The World's Smallest Penis Gets a Growth Spurt The man who claims to have the world's smallest penis has an enhancement procedure scheduled, funded in part by a surprisingly successful GoFundMe. Brian and Ed discuss the economics of internet sympathy, cosmetic procedures, and why people will apparently donate thousands of dollars to almost anything. The Silent iTunes Song Hack A brilliant old-school solution to the problem of your car automatically playing the first song in your iTunes library: a song consisting almost entirely of silence. The guys discuss the strange genius of solving technological annoyances with an even stranger technological workaround. ️ RIP: Vincent Pastore The guys remember the actor best known as Big Pussy Bonpensiero from The Sopranos and revisit one of the show's most memorable storylines. RIP: Don Nelson A look at the legendary NBA player and coach, including his championship career, his time with the Warriors and Mavericks, and his disastrous stint coaching the Knicks. RIP: Ben Jones / Cooter from The Dukes of Hazzard Brian and Ed discuss the actor behind one of television's most recognizable Southern characters. RIP: Glen Hansard The guys talk about the acclaimed Irish musician and his connection to The Commitments, along with the dangers of motorcycles. RIP: Tom Chadbon A brief tribute to the actor whose credits included Game of Thrones and Casino Royale. RIP: William Orbit The legendary producer's passing leads into a discussion of his work with Madonna, Blur, and other major artists. RIP: Robbie Albarado The guys remember the two-time Preakness-winning jockey and discuss the brutal physical demands of professional horse racing. Influencers, bizarre deaths & the internet Brian and Ed continue their unofficial investigation into the increasingly strange world of influencers, including a discussion of dangerous stunts and mysterious deaths. SPORTS Former NFL Receiver Arrested at a Bowling Alley Former NFL wide receiver Stedman Bailey is arrested after police allegedly find him engaged in sexual activity at a Florida mall bowling and arcade venue. Brian and Ed attempt to understand the decision-making involved in having sex in a public place surrounded by people who are literally there to bowl. The $800,000 Sports Betting Dispute A bettor claims he won nearly $800,000, only for Caesars to void the tickets over alleged violations of betting rules. Brian and Ed debate the fine print, sportsbooks, and whether casinos should be allowed to find technicalities when they don't want to pay a massive winning ticket. The Shohei Ohtani / Ippei Mizuhara Gambling Saga The conversation turns to gambling addiction, bookies, and the enormous amount of money reportedly lost in the Ohtani gambling scandal. Alleged NFL Player Investment Scam The guys discuss Mohamed Koulibaly, who was accused of running an e-commerce/investment scheme involving former NFL players before being found dead in a New Jersey swimming pool. Zach Hample Is Still Catching Everything The infamous baseball home-run ball hawk is back in the conversation after nearly catching another historic baseball. Brian and Ed discuss Hample's ability to predict where baseballs are going — and whether being a professional home-run ball collector is one of the world's most annoying hobbies. The Mookie Betts Foul Ball That Got Away Brian revisits the time Mookie Betts hit a foul ball directly toward him and he failed to make the catch, despite being perfectly positioned. Former Cal State Bakersfield Coach Gets Prison Time An update on the former Cal State Bakersfield basketball coach who was convicted in connection with a prostitution operation. VOICEMAILS & LISTENER MAIL Lala LSU Calls In The voicemail segment returns with Lala LSU, including a reminder of his signature sign-off and his now-infamous song. Should The Baller Lifestyle Do 75 Hard? Brian considers taking on another round of 75 Hard, potentially involving listeners and an additional daily guitar-practice requirement. The guys discuss discipline, habit formation, goal setting, and whether committing to a structured challenge through Thanksgiving could provide some much-needed motivation. Hash Browns vs. Home Fries A listener wants to settle one of the most important debates in breakfast history. Brian and Ed pick sides — while acknowledging that certain Irish-style breakfast potatoes may deserve consideration. Cocaine Wars: Tim Raines vs. Doc Gooden The Baller Lifestyle's unofficial Cocaine Wars returns. This time the competitors are two MLB legends: Tim "Rock" Raines Dwight "Doc" Gooden The guys discuss the notorious cocaine use of both players, including Raines' infamous habit of carrying cocaine in his uniform pocket and Gooden's struggles with addiction during his spectacular but troubled career. And, of course, the show gets another custom AI-generated Cocaine Wars theme song. The "Rot" Has Set In A listener submits a bizarre take on Mets rookie pitcher Jeffrey Yan celebrating after a strikeout, leading Brian and Ed into a discussion about player celebrations, individuality, ego, and the increasingly dramatic policing of professional athletes' behavior. How Often Do You Check Your Fly? A listener asks the guys how frequently they make sure their zipper is actually zipped. This leads to an unfortunately detailed discussion of zipper-related injuries and Brian's history of unfortunate encounters with his own pants. The Technology Problem Brian and Ed discuss the strange reality of modern technology, convenience, smartphones, and the idea that we're increasingly tethered to the machines in our pockets. The conversation eventually reaches Ted Kaczynski, The Terminator, data centers, and the uncomfortable possibility that some of the concerns about technology were not entirely insane — even if the methods were. PATREON / BONUS CONTENT The regular episode wraps up with a reminder that the show continues exclusively for Patreon subscribers. Brian and Ed then dive into even more bizarre stories, including: ️ The Influencer Who Allegedly Had Relationships With 50–75 Prisoners An internet personality allegedly maintained relationships with dozens of incarcerated men, leaving Brian and Ed with one major unanswered question: How exactly was she getting access to all these inmates? Death's Door A young couple disappears while kayaking near Wisconsin's infamous Death's Door, a dangerous stretch of water with a long history of shipwrecks. The story leads to a discussion about questionable vacation activities, kayaking, and whether any place called Death's Door should ever be on your travel itinerary. Yellowstone, Landman & Billy Bob Thornton Brian and Ed discuss the strange world of modern television, including Yellowstone, Landman, Billy Bob Thornton's unlikely commercial career, and the increasingly surreal nature of celebrity advertising. Robert Carradine / Revenge of the Nerds The guys discuss the tragic death of Robert Carradine and the lawsuit filed by his family against UCLA, while talking about mental illness, institutional responsibility, and the difficult circumstances surrounding his death. ️ Washington, D.C. Relationship Drama The episode closes with a particularly messy Washington political relationship story involving Eric Swalwell, Stephen Miller's former wife, Steve Bannon, and Elon Musk. Brian and Ed examine the strange intersection of politics, celebrity, sex, power, and Washington's seemingly endless relationship drama.

What does it take to build a company that lasts for generations?

Jack Raines is an investor at Slow Ventures, author of Young Money: A Field Guide to Wealth and Purpose in Your Twenties, and creator of the popular Young Money Substack newsletter. After graduating during the pandemic, Jack turned an interest in investing into a thriving online platform that led to a book deal with Penguin and a career in venture capital. In this episode, he shares lessons from winning—and losing—money in the stock market, building an audience from scratch, and why creating content can unlock opportunities far beyond direct income. On this episode we talk about: Jack's early investing journey, including turning $6,000 into $400,000—and the lessons that came with it Why losing money early can make you a smarter long-term investor How starting a Substack newsletter led to a book deal and a career in venture capital The power of building an audience through authentic content and social media Why content creation has become a competitive advantage in venture capital Top 3 Takeaways Experience is the best financial teacher. Making mistakes early in your investing journey helps build the judgment needed to make smarter decisions later in life. Build your own platform instead of waiting for permission. Jack created his own newsletter after being turned down by media companies, which ultimately opened bigger doors than a traditional writing job. Content creates opportunities beyond revenue. A strong online presence can attract investors, founders, employers, and business opportunities that far outweigh the direct income from publishing. Notable Quotes "I actually think everybody should lose money at some point, so you know how it feels." "Why not build my own email list and keep the upside and optionality?" "Humor is really good top of funnel—as long as there's something deeper underneath it."

The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk www.LearningLeader.com This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My Guest: Jack Raines is a writer and investor. At 24, he quit his corporate finance job at UPS, bought a one-way ticket to Barcelona, and spent the next year traveling through 25 countries while writing a newsletter that grew to hundreds of thousands of readers. He went on to earn an MBA from Columbia, help build Sherwood News at Robinhood, and join the venture capital firm Slow Ventures, where he invests in creators. His first book, Young Money: A Field Guide to Finding Wealth and Purpose in Your Twenties, is out now. Key Learnings Jack's Grandma Ruth took him to Africa when he was 11. She was in her late 60s. She had the money. She said: "I can spend it on you now or leave it to you when I'm dead. This is better." Money has no value until you exchange it for something. We need to decide what we want that to be. Every year of your 20s is worth $10 million. (Nikita Bier) You'll never have this window of flexibility again. Say yes to interesting experiences in your 20s. Your income is going to climb exponentially anyway. Don't save $500 at the cost of a memory. Move to where the action is. Jack moved to New York for business school. Then San Francisco for a job. Then back to New York. High slope of learning. High slope of contact with good people. Network amplifies ability. It doesn't create it. A million times zero is still zero. A million times two is two million. The only real risk is not doing anything. Every opportunity in life comes through a person. The best networking tool is doing great work. How did Gracie Abrams open for Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour? She wrote great music. Taylor noticed. Taylor called. In your 20s, potential is valued at a premium. In your 30s and beyond, proof of work matters more. Experimenting when you are young speed-runs the learning curve. You develop the skill of taking shots. That skill compounds.  It's much harder to start being risk-on at 35 if you weren't risk-on at 25. Personal finance is simple. Spend less than you make. Build a six-month emergency fund. Take the 401(k) match. Contribute to your IRA. Don't gamble on individual stocks. Stay invested. Stay employed. Don't go into credit card debt. Don't get divorced. User error interrupts compounding more than anything else. Set up the boring foundation. Then stop touching it. Most retirees never touch the principal. (Nick Maggiulli) They stack money out of fear, then die with more than they started with. Daniel Kahneman on loss aversion: the pain of losing $100 is twice as strong as the joy of gaining $100. That's why people over-save. Your burn rate at 70 is way lower than at 45. No kids at home. No tuition. Less energy to do stuff. Plan accordingly. Bill Perkins' Die with Zero philosophy... A useful insight was in the first chapter: his best friend took a payday loan at 23 to backpack Europe for three months. Same career trajectory as Bill. Just way more fun at 24. People don't want to think about their mortality. So they focus on making the number go up. If you actually internalized that you're going to die, you'd be more intentional about your time and money. Jack's champagne moment a year from now: He sells a ton of copies of it. And it's still relevant. Reflection Questions Where are you spending your best years earning money you'll never actually enjoy? What would change if you accepted that your peak-energy window is closing? Where are you standing still because the risk of moving feels bigger than the risk of staying? What does the only real risk (not doing anything) look like in your life right now? What is the great work you could do that would make the right person notice you?  More Learning #539: Jack Raines - Playing Infinite Games, Living Life Backwards & Building Your Platform #548: Nick Maggiulli - The Power of Compounding #373: Bill Perkins - How To Get All You Can From Your Money & Your Life Podcast Chapters 00:00 The Price of Becoming - Pre-Order Now!  01:38 Meet Jack Raines  03:27 Grandma Ruth Took Him to Africa When He Was 11  08:04 Why Every Year of Your 20s Is Worth $10 Million  12:12 Quitting UPS at 24 for a One-Way Ticket to Barcelona  15:10 How to Increase Your Surface Area for Luck  20:00 Where You Live Is Who You Become  22:00 Why Memories Compound Faster Than Money  26:23 The Financial Stability Basics Nobody Wants to Hear  29:00 Get the Boring Stuff on Autopilot  31:15 Why Retirees Never Touch the Principal  34:02 The Bad Trade of Saving During Your Best Years  37:36 The Bill Perkins Die With Zero Debate  39:15 Experimentation, Agency, and the Only Real Risk  42:53 The Best Networking Tool in the World: Do Great Work  44:10 The Champagne Question: Making the Book Matter a Year From Now  45:53 EOPC

On this episode of The Rumors Are True, Jeremy welcomes Chris Raines for an in-depth conversation about his remarkable journey through some of heavy music's most influential underground bands. Chris reflects on the early days of Spitfire, a pioneering Virginia Beach metalcore band that helped shape the sound of heavy music in the late 1990s and early 2000s. He shares stories from recording albums such as The Dead Next Door, navigating lineup changes, relentless touring, and the band's lasting impact on the hardcore and metal scenes. The conversation also explores Chris's time with Norma Jean, one of the most influential metalcore bands of their generation. Chris discusses stepping into the band during a pivotal era, the creative process behind the music, life on the road, and the challenges of balancing family life with the demands of touring and recording. He offers unique insight into the evolution of the genre and the relationships built throughout years in the underground music community. Chris also dives into the story behind Sunndrug, the project he formed alongside former Spitfire bandmate Jimmy Reeves. Moving beyond the aggressive sounds of his earlier work, Sunndrug allowed Chris to explore new creative territory through atmospheric and emotionally driven songwriting. Together, they discuss the making of Exit Wounds, the band's artistic vision, and what continues to inspire him after decades of making music. This episode is a fascinating look at perseverance, creativity, and the lasting bonds formed through music.

In this heartfelt episode of Whole Hearted Leadership Coaching Conversations, host Lantz Howard sits down with longtime friend Dr. Jay Raines, CEO of LeadersQ and author of the new book Culture Brand: A Proven Framework for Building a Culture That Wins.Jay traces his path from nonprofit leadership and launching a leadership development firm in India (working with Toyota and startups) to returning to the U.S. in 2016 and growing LeadersQ—where he and his team have delivered thousands of coaching hours to over 80 Chick-fil-A owner-operators and hundreds of other leaders.The conversation blends personal vulnerability and practical wisdom:Protecting marriage through weekly “Sunday night board meetings”The family-balanced, multi-year journey of writing his bookHow running brought mental clarity—and how a shattered shin during a half-marathon forced him to confront absence of presence, learn dependence, and cultivate peace and a victor mindsetJay unveils his Culture Brand framework—a Venn diagram that balances three essentials:Results — excellence, accountability, goal-driven performanceTeaming — collaboration, encouragement, developing othersCharacter — coachability, dependability, ownership, attitudeCharacter serves as the “glue,” integrating results and relationships. He illustrates this with stories from introducing servant leadership in hierarchical Indian business cultures and real client transformations.The episode closes with a striking metaphor: the Dodda Alada Mara (Big Banyan Tree) in Bangalore—a single tree spanning acres, thriving through interconnected “feeder” trunks long after the original center died—symbolizing cultures that endure and scale beyond the founder.Key TakeawaysGuard sacred relational time (weekly spouse check-ins) as a core leadership habit.Physical discipline sharpens mental clarity and reveals blind spots—suffering often exposes where we're not truly present.Lead from an “empty cup” (building relational trust) rather than a “full cup” (relying on authority)—it multiplies impact through abundance instead of scarcity.Assess your team across Results, Teaming, and Character; celebrate strengths, but transparently tackle weaknesses—starting with yourself.Intentionally build cultures that scale and leave a living legacy.--Learn more about coaching with Lantz Howard and discover how you can lead wholeheartedly in your true identity.

A healing birth can change the way you understand everything that came before it. In this episode, Dr. Dekker talks with EBB Childbirth Class graduate Michaela Raines about experiencing a deeply healing birth after a first birth that didn't go as planned. Michaela shares her first hospital birth story—including unexpected interventions, a long pushing phase, perineal trauma, and a NICU stay—and how those experiences shaped her postpartum recovery. She then walks us through how education, intentional preparation, and support helped her approach her second pregnancy differently, leading to a fast, unmedicated water birth at a freestanding birth center. Michaela also reflects on how this birth felt both physically and emotionally redemptive and what she would share with parents preparing for a subsequent birth after a challenging experience.
