P.M. Edition for April 30. GDP rose 2% for the first three months of the year, rising from the previous quarter but not as fast as economists were expecting. Greg Daco, chief economist at EY-Parthenon, joins to discuss the business investments fueling that growth. Plus, U.S. national debt now exceeds 100% of GDP. Hear from Journal investing columnist Spencer Jakab on how that could affect government activity. And the latest tech giant reports: Apple profit margins and revenue top Wall Street expectations.

It's Big Tech week on Wall Street. Quarterly results from Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon all beat expectations. And shocker: They're all still spending a lot on AI. One of the biggest expenses is chips. That's made Nvidia the most valuable company in the world. Now, other Big Tech companies want to get in on that action. Then, the Trump administration has wound down funding for mRNA vaccine development. We'll explore the impacts.

Branded a fugitive. Sentenced to 14 years in federal prison.This is a story of ambition, innovation, power, and survival—and what happens when the system turns against you.

A stiff knee looked like a minor problem. Two days later, it was swelling toward the size of a basketball.   Then doctors opened it and found an infection eating him from the inside out. Zachary Garner is a Green Beret, firefighter, and ultra-endurance athlete, and this episode is built around visible stakes: brutal deployments, a catastrophic Ironman crash, traumatic brain injury, seizures, and a fight with flesh-eating bacteria that spread from hip to ankle, into his bloodstream, bones, pelvis, and heart.   He was told it could end fast. He was moved to Mass General, spent time in the ICU, had two strokes, and coded twice. Zachary breaks down what kept him moving forward: discomfort as training, purpose as a stabilizer, loyalty as a standard, and service as the operating system. You'll leave with disciplined rules you can apply when you're stuck, overwhelmed, or looking for excuses.   Things You Will Learn: How to use purpose as a coping mechanism when quitting starts to feel logical. How to normalize discomfort so you don't fold under pressure. How loyalty and service create structure when civilian life feels flat after high-intensity environments.   Tools & Frameworks Covered: Do-It-For-Them Anchor: keeps endurance and resilience steady when motivation drops. Discomfort Reps: builds mental toughness through repeated, controlled exposure to discomfort. Service-First Operating System: aligns discipline, responsibility, and daily actions to a clear purpose.   Let's make it something similar to this: If this episode moved you, don't just listen. Do something about it. Sign up. Show up. Do the work. Spartan.com. No more excuses.   Zachary Garner is a retired U.S. Army Green Beret who's survived traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, a near-fatal car accident, and necrotizing fasciitis that nearly took his life. Instead of giving up, he's turned pain into purpose, riding across the country, carrying weight for miles, and competing in extreme endurance events to raise awareness for veteran mental health.   Connect to Zachary: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zachary-garner-253605170/ St. George Fire Department: https://www.stgeorgefire.com/   We gave you the tools, now use them during your next SPARTAN RACE!

Jason welcomes, financial expert Barry James Dyke as he discusses his research into the systematic corruption and "rent-seeking" behaviors of Wall Street institutions. He highlights how major asset managers like BlackRock and Goldman Sachs prioritize their own profits and bonuses through high fees and taxpayer-funded bailouts, even when their clients suffer significant losses. Dyke critiques modern financial vehicles like 401(k)s and ESG investing, labeling them as deceptive marketing tools that lack transparency and genuine security for the middle class. To combat this "organized crime," he advocates for personal financial discipline, the use of specialized insurance products for capital growth, and the shift toward becoming a direct owner of assets. Ultimately, the conversation serves as a warning against a debt-based system designed to transfer wealth from the public to a small group of financial elites.   Key Takeaways: 0:00 Bullies of Wall Street and 'rent seeking' and 'regulatory capture' 8:02 What can people do about this 10:26 Blackrock 16:26 Lou Dobbs and how everything has become a scam 23:02 Action plan #PiratesOfManhattan #WallStreetCorruption #RentSeeking #BlackRock #PrivateCredit #CarriedInterest #CronyCapitalism #WealthBuilding #CapitalFormation #WallStreetBullies  _______________________________________________________________ Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

What if the story you're stuck in isn't who you are… it's just who you've been? In this conversation, I sit down with Jordan Belfort "The Real Wolf of Wall St", and I'll tell you right now, this is not the interview you're expecting. Most people know Jordan for one chapter of his life, but today we go way deeper. We talk about identity, values, and what it really takes to rewrite your story when the world keeps trying to define you by your past. And what hit me the most is this. He didn't have to become someone new. He had to rediscover who he was before everything went off track. That is a powerful lesson for every single one of us. We also get into the truth about money, success, and the tradeoffs nobody talks about. There is a point in your life where chasing the next level has a cost, and you better start asking yourself if it is worth it. Jordan opens up about choosing ethics over easy money, even when it cost him millions. That kind of discipline and clarity is rare. We talk about building a life that is not just successful on paper, but one that actually feels right when you wake up every day. Then we shift into something every entrepreneur and salesperson needs to hear. This is a masterclass in communication and persuasion. Jordan breaks down what really makes someone influential. It is not manipulation. It is understanding people, asking better questions, mastering tonality, and building real trust. If you have ever wondered why some people instantly connect and others don't, this part of the conversation alone is worth listening to twice. And we go into the future. AI, business, and what is coming next. Jordan is deep in the AI world right now, and what he shares about where things are headed will open your eyes. Some jobs will disappear. New ones will be created. But the people who win are the ones who adapt, who learn, and who stay ahead of the curve. The lesson is simple. If you do not disrupt yourself, someone else will. This episode is about ownership. Ownership of your story, your skills, your future, and your standards. If you are ready to stop living in your past and start building what is next, this one is for you. Key Takeaways: Why your past does not define you and how to rewrite your identity The difference between chasing money and building a meaningful life The real truth about ethical selling and influencing people the right way How tonality, presence, and communication determine your success Why becoming an expert is a decision, not a timeline The future of AI and what it means for sales, business, and entrepreneurship Why you must disrupt yourself before the world does it for you

My guest today is Paul Tudor Jones. Paul is the founder of Tudor Investment Corporation and one of the greatest macro traders of all time, known for calling and profiting from the 1987 crash and compounding capital at extraordinary rates over more than four decades. Paul is also one of the most entertaining and interesting people I have ever met. He is full of stories and hard-earned lessons from a lifetime in markets that feels like several lifetimes compressed into one. In this conversation, he shares how he thinks about trading as a constant battle of risk management and patience, why he still wakes up in the middle of the night to watch global markets, and how he identifies the rare moments where he can take a truly big swing. We discuss whether we are in a bubble, why he sees AI as one of the greatest risks in history, and why he believes Bitcoin is the best inflation hedge. We also spend time on the difference between trading and investing, the importance of passion and discipline, and the ideas that have shaped his life both inside and outside of markets. Please enjoy this conversation with Paul Tudor Jones. This conversation was recorded in mid-February 20, 26 weeks before the geopolitical conflicts now shaping the global economy.

If you've ever wondered what actually gets discussed behind closed doors when companies are hiring, promoting, or handing out pink slips, this episode is like a backstage pass. Amanda Goetz sits down with Deepali Vyas, a veteran executive recruiter and career coach who's spent 25 years in the boardrooms on Wall Street. She's also one of the most followed career experts on the internet.  She's advised Fortune 500 CEOs, hedge funds, and private equity firms on their most senior hires—and she's here to spill everything they never told you. The timing couldn't be better. Between mass layoffs, rapid AI expansion, and an unpredictable job market, navigating your career right now feels harder than ever. Deepali breaks down exactly what's changed, what still works, and what you need to stop doing right now—from the resume mistakes that get you filtered out in six seconds (!!!), to why loyalty to a company is not the flex you think it is, to the 5-5-3 networking rule that actually moves the needle when you're on the market. We're also getting into the closed-door conversations that decide who gets laid off, the one move that makes hiring managers want you more, and the corporate truth that might sting a little: your manager is not your mentor. If you've been playing checkers with your career, this is your invitation to start playing chess. Tune into the episode to find out how. Key Takeaways Talent alone won't get you promoted—visibility will.  Your manager is not your mentor.  Everyone has skills. What separates people is proximity. BLUF: Bottom line up front. Build your external brand while you're still employed.  Why you should leave your job when you're winning.  When you're job searching, use the 5-5-3 rule: five texts to people in your network, five days a week, and aim for three meetings. 00:00 Intro 03:12 Deepali's career origin story 05:41 Being underestimated as a superpower 06:13 Talent alone isn't enough: visibility & access matter most 08:14 Managing up & the power memo 13:58 Checkers vs. chess: playing the long game 15:57 Leave when you're winning 17:30 Behind closed doors: what hiring really looks like 20:06 Resumes, layoffs & career resilience 22:54 The 5-5-3 rule 26:46 Becoming indispensable vs. high impact 32:21 Rapid fire: resumes, LinkedIn & interview tips GUEST LINKS IG: https://www.instagram.com/the_elite_recruiter/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@elite.recruiter Subscribe to Deepali's newsletter: https://eliterecruiter-newsletter.beehiiv.com/ FOLLOW THE PODCAST IG: https://www.instagram.com/girlboss/ | TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@girlboss  Amanda Goetz: https://www.instagram.com/theamandagoetz/  https://girlboss.com/pages/ambition-2-0-podcast  SIGN UP  Subscribe to the Girlboss Daily newsletter: https://newsletter.girlboss.com/  For all other Girlboss links: https://linkin.bio/girlboss/ ABOUT AMBITION 2.0  Powered by Girlboss, Ambition 2.0 is a podcast where we'll be exploring what it really means to "have it all" in work, family, identity, and self… and if it's actually worth it.

Most investors spend their energy asking the wrong question. It's not which fund is best -- it's which combination of funds gets you to your actual goal at a cost and complexity level you'll actually maintain. Joe and OG break down the full index investing playbook: where to start, when to add complexity, what Wall Street calls indexing that really isn't, and the one number that should change how you think about your entire portfolio. What You'll Walk Away With Why the real argument for index investing isn't that nobody beats the market -- it's that you can't predict who will do it next The crockpot principle of index investing -- and why the self-cleaning oven analogy might be even better Why the S&P 500 and the total stock market index are closer than most people think -- and which one Joe is increasingly favoring for the long run The $100,000 turning point: what changes about your investment strategy when the portfolio gets big enough to get scientific The first two additions most Stackers should consider beyond their core index -- and why OG would actually add more than two Why mixing index funds from different companies can quietly undermine your diversification without you ever knowing it How to replace the word "index" with "list" to instantly identify whether a product is actually doing what you think it is The buffered ETFs, factor ETFs, and active ETFs that call themselves indexes -- and why most Stackers should walk right past them Why you're not racing against the index -- you're on a road trip -- and what that shift in framing changes about every investing decision The season one recap from OG and Anna's financial planning basics series -- plus the free workbook that ties all seven episodes together Why This Matters Now In your 40s, the portfolio is finally big enough to matter -- and that's exactly when the temptation to complicate things gets strongest. New products, new strategies, and new buzzwords show up constantly, each promising a smarter approach. The investors who come out ahead aren't the ones who found the best fund. They're the ones who built something simple enough to maintain, scientific enough to optimize, and sturdy enough to hold through the moments when everything feels like it's falling apart. From the Basement Joe and OG dig into the full index investing playbook -- from the first fund a beginner should buy to the asset class combinations that actually improve long-term outcomes once the portfolio gets big enough to warrant it. OG and Anna close out their seven-week financial planning basics series with a full recap and the surprise release of a free downloadable workbook at stackingbenjamins.com/basicsguide. Doug arrives with Nolan Ryan trivia that connects strikeout records to index investing in a way that only the basement could pull off. Whether the analogy fully lands is a question best answered with your earbuds in.

Is the housing market about to crash? I asked Nic DeAngelo - President of Saint Investment Group and the guy managing over $200M in real estate assets - and his answer might blow your mind.In this episode, Nic breaks down why the S&P 500 is really the S&P 7... why the Federal Reserve is failing its own dual mandate... and why 54% of Americans refuse to sell their homes right now.We dig into the numbers the mainstream media won't touch. 80% of every US dollar ever printed in just the last 5 years. $1 from 1913 now worth about a penny. A 4 to 6 million home supply shortage. And the coming $80 TRILLION wealth transfer from Baby Boomers to Millennials.Nic's take? He's terrified of the stock market... but he's buying mortgages behind single family homes. Here's why he thinks US real estate is the most investable asset class for the next decade - and why he'd bet on America 1,000 times out of 1,000.If you've been wondering whether to buy, sell, or sit tight... this is the episode you need.

This is my second conversation with Dylan Patel. Dylan is the founder and CEO of SemiAnalysis, where he tracks the semiconductor supply chain and AI infrastructure buildout. This conversation is about the supply and demand of tokens. On demand, Dylan describes something completely explosive. He explains why the frontier model is the only model anyone wants, and willingness to pay for it is nearly unbounded. His own firm has gone from tens of thousands of dollars in AI spend last year to seven million this year. On supply, we walk through the bottlenecks across memory, logic, and fab equipment that will determine how fast any of this can scale. We also cover Claude Mythos and what the leading labs need to do to fix their growing public perception problem.

Congress keeps churning out laws that the great majority of us have explicitly, consistently, and loudly said we do not want! Are those lawmakers deaf?No, their ears are stuffed with ever-increasing wads of political cash from corporations and the superrich, so our words can't reach their eardrums. Take Tim Sheehy, a Montana Republican elected two years ago to the US Senate. He quickly proved to be a tail-wagging fetcher of more plutocratic tax-giveaways and most anything else the billionaire class desires.Why? Money. His campaign was launched and supercharged by such barons of Wall Street and Silicon Valley as Steve Schwarzman. Honcho of a private equity powerhouse, Schwarzman greased Sheehy's political skids with an $8 million check. A New York Times analysis later found that at least 63 other billionaire families bought a piece of the fledgling Montana senator that year.He's not their only purchase, of course. The Times' tally found 300 billionaire families invested more than $3 billion in federal candidates in 2024.Meanwhile, not only does Congress do what We the People don't want, they also refuse to do what we do want. Most emphatically, that includes a huge, bipartisan majority who want all corporate money out of political races and solid limits on donations by the rich.Big Money is a stark threat to America, says Marc Raciot, Montana's former Republican governor. It's turning our democratic republic into a place where a few wealthy people can legally spend millions to direct how the government runs. “Does any reasonable person on the planet think that's appropriate,” he asks?To help assert a people's democracy over corporate plutocracy, go to EndCitizensUnited.org.Jim Hightower's Lowdown is a reader-supported publication.

My guest today is Alex Karnal. Alex is the co-founder and managing partner of Braidwell, a life sciences investment firm he built after spending 15 years at Deerfield Management. The frame we use throughout the episode is the health stack. Alex talks about how most of the diseases that will claim most of our lives are already addressable with medicines that exist today. We work through the five layers of what a defensive health strategy looks like, why GLP-1 medicines represent the first commercial proof that people are ready to be proactive about their health, and why PCSK9 inhibitors may ultimately be the more important drug class even though they get far less attention. We also get into the science and business of drug discovery itself — why most of the published literature that AI companies are training on cannot be replicated, what it would mean to have a truly agentic scientific lab running 24 hours a day, and why Alex believes we are now on a deterministic curve toward scientific superintelligence in biology.
