Despite being an illegal immigrant and a gang member, Democrats continue to champion this individual, even though he is not a U.S. citizen. Cattell argues that it's wrong for the left to push for the rights of someone who is breaking the law and isn't even entitled to the same protections as citizens, challenging their claims of due process.

The path from athlete to entrepreneur to investor is paved with hard-won wisdom that few possess. Chris Van Dusen, Senior Partner at Sully Coy Capital, embodies this journey—transforming a career-ending baseball injury into the foundation for entrepreneurial success and eventually becoming a sought-after venture capitalist specializing in sports technology.What separates successful founders from the rest? According to Chris, it's not just about great ideas but resilience in the face of setbacks. Drawing parallels between athletic discipline and entrepreneurial grit, he shares candid insights about the romanticized versus realistic nature of building companies. "Everyone talks about exits, but nobody discusses the graveyard of failed ventures behind each success," Chris reveals, acknowledging his own eight failures behind three successful exits.His investment philosophy focuses on companies with proven product-market fit ready for strategic growth capital. We dive deep into FluidLogic, a revolutionary hydration technology originally developed for motorsports that's now expanding into military and industrial applications. The company exemplifies what Chris looks for—innovative solutions to fundamental problems with applications across multiple verticals.For founders seeking investment, Chris offers rare transparency about the venture process, explaining why cold pitches rarely succeed and how relationship networks drive the best deals. He emphasizes the critical difference between "just needing money" and finding strategic partners who bring industry expertise and connections that accelerate growth far beyond what capital alone provides.Perhaps most valuable is his direct advice to aspiring entrepreneurs: "Just start." Understanding the difference between low-risk "two-way doors" where you can experiment versus high-commitment "one-way doors" like taking outside investment could save countless founders from premature failure. Focus on dominating one market before expanding, and recognize when your company needs visionary leadership versus operational management.Ready to build something meaningful?

This episode covers sensitive topics. Listener discretion is advised. Please prioritize your well-being while listening.What would you do if you had more courage? This question sits at the heart of our illuminating conversation with Dr. Margie Warrell, global thought leader on brave leadership and author of "The Courage Gap." The courage gap affects us all, but particularly women. We explore how imposter syndrome manifests as underestimating our abilities while overestimating dangers. As Margie powerfully states, "We shouldn't be trying to prove our worth. We need to just own our worth." This simple shift in perspective can liberate us to pursue meaningful goals with confidence rather than doubt.Through vulnerable personal stories, including surviving an armed robbery, Margie demonstrates her transformative "Three Ps" approach to reframing difficult situations. By choosing narratives that make us feel more Powerful, Positive, and Purposeful, we can create generative stories that shape our future rather than keeping us stuck. "You create your stories. But your stories then create you," she explains, offering practical wisdom for catching and redirecting unhelpful narratives. By giving ourselves permission to be imperfect, whether as parents, professionals, or creators—we open doors to experiences and growth we might otherwise miss.What pivot might be revealing your path today? Listen in and discover how embracing courage in the face of uncertainty can transform your life's journey.Guest Bio:Dr. Margie Warrell is a globally recognized expert in leadership and human behavior, renowned for her ability to help leaders and organizations unlock untapped potential by countering the underlying dynamics that inhibit bold thinking, decisive action, and transformative growth.A passionate advocate for advancing women in leadership, Margie has contributed to government roundtables, spearheaded initiatives to elevate more women to decision-making roles, and co-led Korn Ferry's Power of All program during her tenure as a Senior Partner in their CEO & Enterprise Leadership Institute.Margie's latest book, The Courage Gap (Jan ‘25), distills her decades of research and experience, providing a roadmap for closing the gap between potential and performance. Based in Alexandria, Virginia, Margie balances her professional endeavors with her love of adventure. A lifelong hiker and aspiring barista, she finds inspiration scaling mountains, including summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro with her husband and four children.Connect with Margie:Website, LinkedIn Connect with Theresa and Ivana:Theresa, True Strategy Consultants: tsc-consultants.com LinkedIn @treeconti, Insta @tscconsultants Ivana, Courageous Being: courageousbeing.com LinkedIn @ivipol, Insta @courbeingSITP team, Step Into The Pivot: stepintothepivot.com LinkedIn @step-into-the-pivot, YouTube @StepIntoThePivot

Today we had two stellar guests for a COBT discussion focused on Germany's significant upcoming election on February 23. We had the pleasure of hosting our good friend Dr. Lars Schernikau alongside Dr. Daniel Stelter. Lars is an energy economist, entrepreneur, commodity trader, strategic advisor, and the author of “The Unpopular Truth about Electricity and the Future of Energy.” We have known Lars for a few years now and reached out to him for advice on an expert voice on the German elections, economy and overall macro outlook. He recommended Daniel and we were thrilled to get them both to join us. Daniel is an acclaimed macroeconomist and strategy consultant and his background includes 20 plus years as Senior Partner and Executive Committee Member at Boston Consulting Group. More recently, he founded the think tank “Beyond The Obvious.” We were delighted to visit with Lars and Daniel. We covered a lot of territory in our conversation starting with asking Lars and Daniel for background on whether the upcoming election is likely to bring meaningful economic or policy reforms and probing its broader implications for Germany's economic trajectory. They shared their unfortunately low expectations for significant change, pointing to Germany's ongoing economic decline, which has been exacerbated by policy decisions during COVID, including heavy spending and regulatory shifts, and further strained by high energy prices, energy scarcity, and deindustrialization driven by the country's aggressive transition to renewables and more recent closure of their nuclear plants. We explore Germany's debt-to-GDP ratio as a strategic advantage, though constrained by debt brake laws, potential reforms to reallocate funds from subsidies and social programs toward more productive investments, hidden liabilities that significantly increase Germany's actual debt burden, European debt dynamics, the Euro, and speculation on whether the U.S. will prioritize strengthening Germany's economic resilience or focus on attracting German industries to America for lower energy costs. We touch on potential future scenarios, including the possibility for Germany to delay coal plant closures or access domestic gas reserves, the U.S.'s vested interest in supporting Germany and the EU to maintain geopolitical stability, and the increasing political polarization in Germany. We also discuss how China's long-term strategic planning in EVs, batteries, and raw materials has outpaced European efforts, the strategic implications of sanctioning Russia, and much more. It was a candid look at the challenges and opportunities facing Germany and Europe and we can't thank Lars and Daniel enough for sharing their time and thoughts with us. Mike Bradley started us off by highlighting that broader equity markets seem to be focused solely on Trump-Trump-Trump policies, whether that be recent talks between Russia/U.S. on a Ukrainian peace deal or reciprocal tariff threats. He noted that there's little in the way of market moving economic data this week which might allow broader equity markets to continue gravitating higher. Meta's stock price has been up twenty consecutive trading days (an equity market record) and NVIDIA will be reporting quarterly results next week, which could create a lot of volatility and set the tone for the Technology sector in the coming weeks. On the crude oil front, he discussed rumors that OPEC might look to delay oil production increases (120kbpd) that were scheduled for April. The recent pullback in crude oil price also seems to be grounded in optimism for a breakthrough in the Ukrainian war. On the natural gas front, European natural gas price is trading at ~$15/MMBtu, down ~$2/MMBtu over the last few weeks, on optimism the EU will allow a more flexible gas storage refill this year. European gas storage levels are 44% full versus the 5-year average of 54% full, which provides a bit of a gas price floor heading into summer. He w

This week's episode of THE FINANCIAL COMMUTE features a special session recorded live from Morton Wealth's 2024 Investor Symposium. Executive Vice President Eric Selter invites Carmine Cicalese, Senior Partner at Digital Privacy & Protection, LLC, to discuss protecting oneself from cybersecurity threats.Here are some key takeaways from their conversation:More than half of U.S. citizens have experienced cybercrime, with identity theft occurring every 22 seconds.Fraudsters typically use phishing (email), smishing (text), and vishing (voice) to manipulate victims, often using AI to clone voices for scams.If money is stolen from an online bank or investment account, recovery is unlikely due to liability agreements customers sign.Best practices for protecting yourself include using a VPN, a password manager, a private email (not a free email platform like Gmail or Outlook) for sensitive matters, multi-factor authentication, ensuring your passwords are strong and unique (20+ characters), changing default passwords on smart home devices, and refraining from posting too much about your personal life on social media.It's crucial to remember that if a platform is free, you are the product. They are probably selling your data, and it is important to practice caution when communicating personal info across these free platforms.The best protection is a healthy dose of skepticism. If something feels suspicious, don't engage.
