Most founders focus on selling their products, but few take the time to teach people why they matter. For Shizu Okusa, that difference has become her biggest advantage in business. A former Wall Street trader turned wellness entrepreneur, Shizu is the founder and CEO of Apothékary–a brand known as "Mother Nature's Pharmacy." What started in her kitchen, mixing herbs like maca and ashwagandha, has grown into a nationwide brand stocked in Ulta, Sprouts, and 500+ stores across the U.S. Shizu's lessons in business will change your approach to connecting with customers. Education Over Persuasion If you want people to trust your brand, stop selling and start teaching. Shizu discovered that most consumers don't reject wellness products because they don't care; they reject them because they don't understand them. By focusing on education instead of persuasion, she turned curiosity into loyalty. From breaking down the science behind adaptogens to teaching why liquid tinctures outperform pills, Apothékary built authority through honesty — and showed that sharing knowledge is the strongest form of marketing. Growth Without Burnout Fast growth means nothing if you burn out in the process. Shizu's journey is a reminder to pace your ambition. She shares how defining her investor relationships, protecting her energy, and staying rooted in purpose helped her scale Apothékary without losing herself. Her approach challenges every founder to ask: Are you building something that grows fast, or something that lasts? Enjoy this episode with Shizu Okusa… Soundbytes 08:23 - 08:31 "And so there's just a lot of education that actually is marketing. We primarily think ourselves as an education company more than anything else." 30:54 - 31:13 "The company will grow exponentially, and people grow linearly. So, when I say that, what that basically means is, your company is going to be pacing with consumer demand or market growth. And so if your company and your market's growing exponentially, there is no way you can have the same expectation for people to grow exponentially." Quotes "The company will grow exponentially, and people grow linearly." "There really is a cost that comes with growth." "I think of myself as an editor of the brand, more than a face of the brand." "Our bodies are really powerful compasses, and it takes one to quiet down and really listen and tune in."

After Epstein's death, the SEC opened a probe into whether his network or affiliated entities had been operating as unregistered brokers or investment advisers, particularly focusing on whether he provided financial services or investment advice without proper registration and oversight. The inquiry looked at how Epstein's complex web of trusts, funds, offshore entities, and financial relationships might have skirted regulatory requirements, and whether investors or third-parties were exposed to irregularities. Though the investigation's full scope, findings, and status remain largely non-public, the existence of the probe marks one of the few regulatory actions documented in the wake of Epstein's criminal and financial scandals.Rumors have long circulated that Jeffrey Epstein served as a confidential informant or “snitch” for government and intelligence agencies, beginning as far back as his Wall Street days at Bear Stearns, where he was alleged to have cooperated with federal investigators during financial-crime inquiries, including insider-trading probes. Additional allegations claim that Epstein was later protected because he provided information to U.S. authorities and possibly foreign intelligence networks, including suggestions of ties to the CIA, FBI, and Israeli Mossad. These rumors intensified after his 2008 sweetheart plea deal and again following his death, with whistleblowers, journalists, former prosecutors, and survivor advocates arguing that such preferential treatment only made sense if Epstein was leveraging intelligence value. According to these allegations, Epstein's trafficking network doubled as an influence-operation designed to collect kompromat on powerful political, financial, and academic figures, giving him leverage and explaining why investigations into him were repeatedly derailed or buried.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Jeffrey Epstein reportedly used his financial network to gain access to exclusive allocations of hot initial public offerings (IPOs) through his J. Epstein VI Foundation and other investment channels, flipping shares for rapid profits. Investigations into nonprofit tax filings revealed that his foundation was allocated shares in dozens of underwritten offerings—IPOs traditionally reserved for elite institutional or high-value private investors tied into powerful banking relationships. These preferential deals helped bolster Epstein's wealth significantly and reinforced the perception that his influence was deeply intertwined with Wall Street power brokers. The filings raised questions about how someone with no substantial record of public investment activity and a largely opaque business structure was able to bypass standard financial scrutiny and secure rare IPO placements typically reserved for major strategic clients.Simultaneously, Epstein maintained relationships with major financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs and HSBC, which helped enable his access to investment networks and sophisticated global money-movement tools. While full clarity over every IPO trade remains elusive due to limited public disclosure and sealed banking records, the combination of preferential access to IPO allocations, secretive banking relationships, and offshore structures continues to fuel debate about how Epstein amassed his fortune and whether financial institutions facilitated his rise through lax compliance or intentional preference. These unresolved questions remain central to ongoing calls for deeper financial transparency around the Epstein network and the systemic vulnerability that allowed it to operate for decades.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
In this episode, I sit down with Jonathan Mahler, author of The Gods of New York, to explore the four years that transformed America's greatest city—and foretold the divisions that would come to define the nation.From Wall Street's boom to the crack epidemic, from Howard Beach to the Central Park jogger case, from ACT UP to Spike Lee, the New York of 1986–1989 was a city teeming with conflict, creativity, and change. Mahler paints a vivid portrait of a metropolis at war with itself: between greed and grit, privilege and poverty, rebirth and decay.Together, we discuss how this pivotal era gave rise to figures like Donald Trump, Al Sharpton, Ed Koch, and Rudy Giuliani—and why the battles of 1980s New York still echo in today's America.Support the show

In this episode, I talk with Ron Homer – Chief Strategist for Impact Investing at RBC Global Asset Management, and one of the earliest architects of community development investing in the United States.Ron's perspective was shaped in Bedford-Stuyvesant, where he watched a thriving neighborhood decline not because of its people but because mortgage support and investment disappeared. That experience set him on a five-decade mission to help redirect capital back into places that had been overlooked.He went from banking in Boston to co-founding Access Capital Strategies, where he flipped mortgage-backed securities into something that actually supported low- and moderate-income communities.In 1997, he co-founded Access Capital Strategies with the goal of creating market-grade, fixed-income products that were community-aligned. His idea was to use the same mortgage-backed security structure that powered Wall Street, but build it around loans made to low- and moderate-income borrowers.The model showed that you could structure institutional-grade portfolios that delivered both financial performance and community impact.In 2008, Access Capital Strategies was acquired by RBC Global Asset Management. When the global financial crisis hit shortly after, Ron's portfolios outperformed, especially for clients like New York City. “We were the highest performing investment – made 10% – because people who had 30-year fixed-rate mortgages and were buying them for shelter didn't default.”Today, Ron leads RBC's U.S. impact investing strategy, part of a fixed income platform with about $80 billion AUM. His team oversees about $3 billion in community investment strategies. These include customized portfolios primarily composed of agency-backed mortgage securities targeted at low- and moderate-income borrowers, as well as allocations to SBA loan securitizations and municipal bonds.And the results are measurable: over 50,000 individual homes financed, tens of thousands of affordable multifamily units, and for institutional clients like the City of New York, quarterly reports that track each dollar to the specific mortgage, census tract, borrower income level, and racial demographics, down to the loan level.But data only tells part of the story. What keeps Ron going is something deeper: the ripple effect.He believes homeownership and small business act as beacons within communities. “If you have one or two people who take pride in their home, maybe that becomes three people and four people and five people." That's how change takes root, with visible progress that others want to join.Ron also sees what he calls “conditioned helplessness”, a kind of behavioral resignation that sets in when people stop believing their efforts will make a difference.“Some people think the only way to get money is through concessions. But the community doesn't need concessions. They need access.”Ron didn't invent impact investing. But he helped prove it can work, not just morally, but financially. And he did it by choosing reform over revolution, trusting the data, and never letting go of the lesson from Bed-Stuy: that pride and ownership, applied the right way, can change everything.Tune in.—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email updateVisit the SRI360° PODCASTVisit the SRI360° WEBSITEFollow SRI360° on XFollow SRI360° on FACEBOOK—Additional Resources:- Ron Homer LinkedIn- RBC Global Asset Management

En el primer análisis, Alexis Ortega, profesor de Finanzas en EAE Business School, examina el creciente temor a una corrección: el recorte de NVIDIA y las caídas en el sector tecnológico reavivan el debate sobre si estamos ante el principio de un ajuste más profundo. Además, PIMCO advierte de posibles “problemas crediticios” en segmentos de la deuda privada, lo que añade tensión al panorama de mercado. Repasamos también la prensa económica nacional e internacional, con foco en política, empresas y economía global. Cerramos con una entrevista a José Luis Orella, profesor de Historia Contemporánea en la Universidad CEU San Pablo, que analiza el acuerdo histórico firmado en París entre Zelenski y Macron, dotado con 8.000 millones de euros para reforzar la defensa ucraniana. Además, abordamos la visita de Zelenski a España, donde hoy se reúne con Pedro Sánchez para consolidar la cooperación bilateral.

Today we are talking with an emergency doc who has become a multimillionaire. We love this conversation because he has the most boring and consistent financial story. He didn't build a real estate empire or get lucky with Crypto or some fancy investment. He just has a written financial plan that he has followed consistently. He built wealth the boring old fashioned way, with nothing fancy, but lots of success. He feels strongly about spending on what you are passionate about and being cheap on the things you don't care about. He spends lavishly on travel and even has a language tutor. He currently speaks 4 languages and has been to 45 countries. After the interview we are talking about real estate syndications for Finance 101.

Charlie Sheen rose fast in Hollywood, starring in hit films and becoming TV's highest-paid actor in 2010: reportedly making $1.8 million per episode of Two And A Half Men. But fame fueled a collapse captured by the tabloids: cocaine, arrests, explosive relationships, and headline-grabbing meltdowns that pushed him to the brink as he struggled with a growing addiction. After a stroke*, overdose, and HIV diagnosis forced a reckoning, today Charlie says he is now eight years sober and rebuilding his life.

In this episode, Nicole breaks down the real reason so many spiritual entrepreneurs struggle to gain traction, even when they're doing "all the right things."

Reprogramming the Subconscious for Success In this episode, I sat down with Jim to explore the powerful role of the subconscious in shaping our lives. Jim shared how behaviors and outcomes are often dictated by subconscious identities, and how reprogramming these patterns can create lasting success. He walked us through his own journey—from a poor Texas farm boy to a multi-millionaire—showing firsthand what's possible when you align your subconscious beliefs with your goals. I added my own reflections on reinvention throughout my career, reinforcing how our inner identity becomes the foundation for personal and professional growth. Shaping Interests Through Early Experiences We also explored how curiosity and interests are formed over time. I shared my shift from struggling in science classes to developing a genuine passion for it later in life, while Jim reflected on his early challenges with math. Together, we unpacked how childhood experiences and ingrained beliefs can set the stage for our strengths, struggles, and perceptions of ability later in adulthood. Mindset Differences in Success and Failure Jim drew a clear contrast between the mindset of successful millionaires and those who remain financially stuck. He explained that high performers are constantly driven to grow—either by the desire to surpass family achievements or by the fear of losing what they've built—while those struggling often default to excuses and fear of failure. We discussed how identity shapes habits and behaviors, influencing not just personal success but also the divides we see in today's social and political climate. Beyond Manufactured Identity Divide Together, we explored how identity can unite or divide us. Using the metaphor of a tree fighting against itself, we reflected on how clinging to manufactured identities can lead to destruction. Jim and I both emphasized the importance of evolving beyond these surface-level divides and recognizing our shared human needs and goals as the path toward real progress. Overcoming Subconscious Barriers to Growth We closed by talking about the daily battle against subconscious barriers and external influences. Jim highlighted how his podcast helps listeners reprogram habits and reframe subconscious beliefs, while I reflected on the growing need to manage how social media and technology shape our identities. The key takeaway: true growth requires awareness, action, and the courage to break free from limiting patterns so you can step into your full potential.

Welcome to the Fore Golfers Network/Michigan Golf Live Podcast Ep 504 - Lee Abbamonte's Wild Global Golf Adventures In this unforgettable episode of the Fore Golfers Network Podcast, host Bill Hobson welcomes Lee Abbamonte — a true global citizen, travel icon, and golf adventurer. Known as the youngest American to visit every country in the world, Lee's journey from Wall Street executive to world-traveling storyteller is nothing short of remarkable. Lee's story begins with a simple study abroad trip to London, which sparked an insatiable curiosity for the world beyond the trading floor. What started as a personal challenge — visiting 100 countries before turning 30 — soon transformed into a mission to see every nation on Earth. By the age of 32, he had done just that, earning a place in travel history. But Lee's adventures didn't stop there. Along the way, he discovered a new passion: golf. Whether teeing it up on lush fairways in Puerto Rico or makeshift greens in remote corners of the globe, Lee's golf journey is as extraordinary as his passport stamps. During the pandemic, he set a new goal — to play as many of the top public courses in the U.S. as possible. Fast forward to today, and he's played more than 790 different courses, from bucket-list classics to hidden gems. In this episode, Lee shares some of his wildest and most inspiring stories. You'll hear what it was like to play golf in Kabul, Afghanistan, with armed guards protecting him from nearby conflict, and how he navigated chaotic situations like a riot in Algeria and a gunfire-filled border crossing from Egypt to Libya. Through it all, Lee's passion for discovery and connection shines through — proving that travel, like golf, is as much about the journey as it is the destination. Lee and Bill also discuss the cultural bridges golf can build around the world, how the sport gives travelers a unique way to connect with people, and why every golfer should pack their clubs no matter how far they roam. Lee also offers a glimpse into his upcoming travel plans — including golf expeditions to India and Sri Lanka in 2026 — and shares hints about his upcoming book and potential documentary projects. If you've ever dreamed of combining your love for golf with global adventure, this episode will fuel your wanderlust and inspire you to take the next swing — wherever it might lead.

In this episode, we trace the company's meteoric rise, the cult-like community it built, and the decisions that turned a $50 billion high-flyer into a cautionary tale.

Markets tested the 50-DMA for the third time since October on Friday—and once again, buyers stepped in to defend support. Futures are pointing higher this morning, but the setup still looks like a weak open for Wall Street. With upside resistance near 6,900, the market remains stuck in a well-defined trading range. The big catalyst this week? Nvidia earnings, which could determine whether this consolidation resolves higher—or if we're watching the early stages of a topping process. Short-term signals remain on a sell, and relative strength is cooling. But bullish year-end factors like corporate buybacks, momentum chasing, and neutral professional sentiment continue to provide a floor. In this environment, the message hasn't changed: Stay disciplined. Manage your risk.

After Epstein's death, the SEC opened a probe into whether his network or affiliated entities had been operating as unregistered brokers or investment advisers, particularly focusing on whether he provided financial services or investment advice without proper registration and oversight. The inquiry looked at how Epstein's complex web of trusts, funds, offshore entities, and financial relationships might have skirted regulatory requirements, and whether investors or third-parties were exposed to irregularities. Though the investigation's full scope, findings, and status remain largely non-public, the existence of the probe marks one of the few regulatory actions documented in the wake of Epstein's criminal and financial scandals.Rumors have long circulated that Jeffrey Epstein served as a confidential informant or “snitch” for government and intelligence agencies, beginning as far back as his Wall Street days at Bear Stearns, where he was alleged to have cooperated with federal investigators during financial-crime inquiries, including insider-trading probes. Additional allegations claim that Epstein was later protected because he provided information to U.S. authorities and possibly foreign intelligence networks, including suggestions of ties to the CIA, FBI, and Israeli Mossad. These rumors intensified after his 2008 sweetheart plea deal and again following his death, with whistleblowers, journalists, former prosecutors, and survivor advocates arguing that such preferential treatment only made sense if Epstein was leveraging intelligence value. According to these allegations, Epstein's trafficking network doubled as an influence-operation designed to collect kompromat on powerful political, financial, and academic figures, giving him leverage and explaining why investigations into him were repeatedly derailed or buried.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
Jeffrey Epstein reportedly used his financial network to gain access to exclusive allocations of hot initial public offerings (IPOs) through his J. Epstein VI Foundation and other investment channels, flipping shares for rapid profits. Investigations into nonprofit tax filings revealed that his foundation was allocated shares in dozens of underwritten offerings—IPOs traditionally reserved for elite institutional or high-value private investors tied into powerful banking relationships. These preferential deals helped bolster Epstein's wealth significantly and reinforced the perception that his influence was deeply intertwined with Wall Street power brokers. The filings raised questions about how someone with no substantial record of public investment activity and a largely opaque business structure was able to bypass standard financial scrutiny and secure rare IPO placements typically reserved for major strategic clients.Simultaneously, Epstein maintained relationships with major financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs and HSBC, which helped enable his access to investment networks and sophisticated global money-movement tools. While full clarity over every IPO trade remains elusive due to limited public disclosure and sealed banking records, the combination of preferential access to IPO allocations, secretive banking relationships, and offshore structures continues to fuel debate about how Epstein amassed his fortune and whether financial institutions facilitated his rise through lax compliance or intentional preference. These unresolved questions remain central to ongoing calls for deeper financial transparency around the Epstein network and the systemic vulnerability that allowed it to operate for decades.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
