Carla Harris started her extraordinary career on Wall Street in 1987 – right before the financial markets crashed that fall. In the ensuing nearly 40 years, she persevered through and overcame challenges, rising to the top leadership echelons. Now the Vice Chairman of Wealth Management and Senior Client Advisor at Morgan Stanley, Carla is also a keynote speaker and author, generously with sharing with others insights into how to be a great executive that leads with courage, clarity and humility. You'll also hear the surprising story of how she incorporates her lifelong love of gospel music into her busy schedule now and why she feels that in non-negotiable. YOU WILL LEARN: How giving up the need to do it all yourself will free you to do what you and only you can do best. How the combination of believing in who you truly are — along with a healthy dose of courage — can help you reach your dreams and goals. The importance of focusing on what you know to be true, instead of thinking about what may or may not happen, and what others may be thinking. MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Lead to Win: How to Be a Powerful, Impactful, Influential Leader in Any Environment by Carla Harris NOTEWORTHY QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE: “I want to as a leader, make people feel seen, make them feel like they're so important that they're the only person in the room.” — Carla Harris “If you're going to bother to do anything, deliver excellence. Sometimes your best won't be enough, but you can always know you left it all on the floor.” – Carla Harris “Serve, don't sell. If you serve people well, you'll have all the business you could ever want.” – Carla Harris “Your people should never have to wonder where they stand with you. Be straight, be transparent, and close the loop every time.” – Carla Harris “I say, but for the grace of God, I would not be sitting where I'm sitting today. And part of that grace was also not letting me focus on what wasn't happening or what somebody else must be thinking.” — Carla Harris Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jeffrey Epstein's early financial career is cloaked in mystery, with only fragments of fact piercing through layers of rumor and myth. After leaving Bear Stearns in 1981, he founded Intercontinental Assets Group Inc., a consulting firm where he claimed to “recover stolen money for wealthy clients.” What exactly that meant was never made clear, but the business quickly drew speculation that Epstein was dealing in murky worlds where stolen wealth, corrupt regimes, and shady operators overlapped. In a 2025 DOJ interview, Ghislaine Maxwell went further, alleging that Epstein built his fortune partly by working with or for African warlords in the 1980s. She claimed he once even showed her a photo of himself with such figures, suggesting his reach extended into circles where violence and illicit wealth were the currency.What is confirmed, however, is that Epstein was already operating in shadowy financial arenas, including his lucrative role as a consultant for Steven Hoffenberg's Towers Financial Corporation, a Ponzi scheme where Epstein earned $25,000 a month and received a $2 million loan. The warlord connection remains unproven but symbolically aligns with the trajectory of a man who, from the start, was willing to skirt moral boundaries, exploit opaque systems, and surround himself with power—whether in Wall Street boardrooms or, allegedly, among those who carved fortunes out of bloodshed in Africa.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Records show Jeffrey Epstein's requests for multiple passports, travels to Africa and Middle East - ABC NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In 1929, the world watched in shock as the unstoppable Wall Street bull market went into a freefall, wiping out fortunes and igniting a depression that would reshape a generation. In November 2025, Andrew Ross Sorkin, acclaimed New York Times columnist and author, came to Intelligence Squared to reveal the lessons of the 1929 financial crash and how that era of political instability and market turmoil eerily mirrors today. Drawing from his new book 1929, he set out a blueprint for understanding the cycles of speculation, regulatory missteps and warning signs of economic crash that we choose to ignore at our own peril. --- This is the first instalment of a two-part episode.

Tom Hardin previously spent much of his career as a financial analyst in New York City. In 2008, as part of a cooperation agreement with the Department of Justice, Tom assisted the U.S. government in understanding how insider trading occurred in the financial services industry. Known as “Tipper X,” Tom became one of the most prolific informants in securities fraud history, helping to build over 20 of the 80+ individual criminal cases in “Operation Perfect Hedge,” a Wall Street house-cleaning campaign that morphed into the largest insider trading investigation of a generation. After resolving his case, Tom was invited by the FBI's New York City office to speak to their rookie agent class. He has since become a sought-after corporate trainer and speaker on a global scale, addressing issues related to compliance, conduct risk, and behavioral ethics based on his unique, first-hand experience. His memoir, Wired on Wall Street, will be published by Wiley in February 2026.Wired on Wall Street: https://www.tipperx.com/bookConnect with Tom on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tipperx/

The Bank of Japan hinting toward a rate hike, paired with weakness in Airbus (EADSY), caused international stocks to slide ahead of Monday's trading action in the U.S. As Kevin Hincks says from the Cboe Global Markets, that can change once the opening bell rings on Wall Street. Bitcoin's sell-off doesn't help that case, though Kevin explains how the end of quantitative tightening from the Fed plays into a set-up for bullish reversal. He later talks about President Trump's prospects on a future FOMC chair. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Kitap kulübümüzün 59'uncu buluşmasında Nassim Nicholas Taleb'in "Antikırılgan" adlı kitabını konuştuk. Taleb, Wall Street'te risk uzmanı olarak çalışmış bir akademisyen ve yazar. Antikırılgan, belirsizlik ve kaos karşısında sadece ayakta kalmakla yetinmeyen, bu şoklardan güçlenerek çıkan sistemleri anlatıyor.Kitap, dayanıklılık ve dirençlilikten öte bir kavram sunuyor: Belirsizlikten ve değişkenlikten beslenen, rastlantılardan faydalanan yapılar. Grubumuz kitabın özgün fikrini çarpıcı buldu. Özellikle küçük dozlarda stres ve belirsizliğin sistemleri güçlendirdiği fikri hepimize farklı alanlarda yansıdı. Aşırı korumacılığın çocukları kırılganlaştırdığı gibi, yapılandırılmış sistemlerin de en küçük hatada çökebileceği görüşünde buluştuk. Lindy Etkisi, opsiyonellik, negatif via gibi kavramların hayatımıza somut örneklerle yansıdığını konuştuk.Hemfikir olduğumuz diğer bir konu, Taleb'in anlatım tarzıydı. Dağınık, savurgan yapısı çoğumuzu zorladı, bazılarımız ise tam da bu özgür anlatımı sevdi. Okuma zorluğu nedeniyle kitabın geniş kitlelere ulaşmamasının belki de bilinçli yapıldığı, doğal seçilime inanan yazarın felsefesine uygun olduğu fikri de ortaya atıldı.Ben de kendim için şunu not ettim: Antikırılganlık sadece bireysel bir süper güç değil, bağlı olduğumuz ekosistemin, ağların ve kurumların özelliği. Doğru altyapı ve bilgi ağına bağlı olmak, belirsizlikten avantaj çıkarmanın anahtarı. Son zamanlarda çokça dile getirilen az çoktur, yalınlık, sadelik gibi kavramların da daha derin düşünsel bir çerçevesini çizdi kitap.Bu bölümde şöyle de bir ilk yaşadık; kulübümüzün müdavimlerinden ve Taleb'in sıkı takipçilerinden olan Yavuz Hocam toplantı saatinde müsait olamayacağını söyleyince, kitabın seçiminde oynadığı rol nedeniyle kendisinden bir video rica ettim. Kendisi de, der ya'nın Pusula Takımı'nın whatsapp grubunda kitap hakkındaki serzenişlerimize cevaben 17 dakikalık bir savunma pardon görüşlerini gönderdi sağolsun, buraya bir kısmını alıyorum.Bu bölümde görüşlerine yer verebildiğim arkadaşlarım sırasıyla (02:29) Yavuz Abut, (12:20) Alim Küçükpehlivan, (14:45) Bekircan Kalkan, (16:47) Ebru Başaran, (19:23) Yasemin Karakaya Arslan, (25:38) Didem Güçlü İlgün, (29:04) Belgin Elmas, (30:30) Alim KüçükpehlivanSupport the show

Die US-Aktienfutures starten schwach in den Dezember. Der Dow Jones fällt rund 0,4 Prozent, S&P 500 und Nasdaq 100 geben 0,6 beziehungsweise 0,9 Prozent nach. Besonders unter Druck stehen die großen Tech-Werte. Nvidia, AMD und Broadcom verlieren vorbörslich jeweils mehr als ein Prozent – der KI-Sektor bleibt hochvolatil. Eine Ausnahme ist Synopsys: Die Aktie steigt im vorbörslichen Handel um mehr als sieben Prozent, nachdem Nvidia eine Investition von zwei Milliarden Dollar bekanntgegeben hat, um die gemeinsame Entwicklung bei Chipdesign und KI zu beschleunigen. Auch Bitcoin rutscht erneut deutlich ab. Die Kryptowährung fällt um mehr als fünf Prozent und notiert wieder unter 87.000 Dollar. Bereits im November war Bitcoin kurzzeitig unter die Marke von 90.000 Dollar gefallen und kämpft seitdem mit einer stabilen Bodenbildung. Rückblickend war der November trotz eines starken Thanksgiving-Schubs insgesamt volatil. S&P 500 und Dow konnten den Monat leicht im Plus beenden, während der Nasdaq ein Minus von 1,5 Prozent verzeichnete und damit erstmals seit sieben Monaten seine Aufwärtsserie unterbrach. Gleichzeitig spricht die Saisonalität für einen freundlichen Start in den Dezember. Historisch gehört der Monat zu den stärksten im Jahr, im Durchschnitt steigt der S&P 500 um etwas mehr als ein Prozent. Marktbeobachter verweisen zudem auf eine gestiegene Wahrscheinlichkeit für eine Zinssenkung der US-Notenbank im Dezember, was die Stimmung zuletzt etwas stabilisiert hat.

This episode of the Debtwired podcast explores the swift collapse of auto parts company First Brands Group into Chapter 11, the overlooked warning signs on Wall Street, and the high-stakes legal and financial battles now unfolding.Featuring insights from Debtwire's head of research Tim Hynes, reporter Kunyi Yang, global head of legal analysis, Sara Tapinikes, and court team editor Taylor Harrison, the discussion breaks down what's at stake for secured lenders, unsecured creditors, and trade claim holders as the case navigates a protracted and fiercely contested restructuring.The episode also delves into the potential for substantive consolidation—a move that could significantly reshape recoveries across creditor classes.

Die US-Börsen starten schwächer in den Dezember. Der S&P 500 fällt um 0,4 Prozent, die Nasdaq um 0,5 Prozent und der Dow gibt rund 180 Punkte nach. Vor allem der Tech-Sektor steht unter Druck: Broadcom verliert mehr als 3 Prozent, Super Micro über 2 Prozent – ein Hinweis auf weiteres Profit-Taking im KI-Bereich. Einzige Ausnahme ist Synopsys, die Aktie springt deutlich an, nachdem Nvidia eine Investition angekündigt hat. Bitcoin rutscht parallel mehr als fünf Prozent ab und handelt wieder unter 87.000 Dollar – die Kryptowährung tut sich seit Wochen schwer, die Marke von 90.000 Dollar nachhaltig zurückzuerobern. Die Wall Street kommt zwar aus einer sehr starken Thanksgiving-Woche, doch zum Start in den Dezember spricht die Saisonalität eigentlich für Rückenwind: Historisch steigt der S&P 500 im Schnitt um gut ein Prozent. Doch das heutige Bild zeigt, dass der Markt eine technische Bereinigung durchläuft und auf neue Impulse wartet – insbesondere auf die Fed-Entscheidung kommende Woche. Der ISM-Industrieindex fällt für November auf 48,2 Punkte und bleibt damit klar in der Schrumpfzone. Schwächere neue Aufträge und sinkende Lieferzeiten belasten das Bild, während Lagerbestände steigen und die Preise leicht anziehen.

From the explosion in antisemitism, to the entrenchment of wrongheaded DEI policies, many Americans have begun to doubt the real value of an elite college degree.Last month, the Manhattan Institute – a public policy thinktank in New York City – launched its inaugural college rankings list that takes into account various factors that other popular rankings lists often don't, such as the rigor of a school's curriculum as well as the ideological balance of the school's student body and professors. To discuss this new rankings system, Dan was joined by Reihan Salam, president of the Manhattan Institute, and Kevin Wallstein, Professor of Political Science at California State University and an Adjunct Fellow at the Manhattan Institute. CREDITS:ILAN BENATAR - Producer & EditorADAAM JAMES LEVIN-AREDDY - Executive ProducerMARTIN HUERGO - Sound EditorMARIANGELES BURGOS - Additional EditingMAYA RACKOFF - Operations DirectorGABE SILVERSTEIN - ResearchYUVAL SEMO - Music Composer

Markowski also highlights the challenges faced by smaller financial advisors and the ethical dilemmas within the industry. He emphasizes the importance of building wealth through sound financial practices and the reality of misconduct among financial advisors.

Building a Financial Advisory Firm That Puts Clients First: An Inside Look at the Process Meta Description: Discover why Tom Dupree founded Dupree Financial Group in Lexington, Kentucky—focusing on personalized investment management, team accountability, and retirement planning for local clients. For pre-retirees and retirees in Kentucky searching for personalized investment management, understanding the “why” behind your financial advisor matters just as much as the “how.” In this special episode of The Financial Hour of The Tom Dupree Show, Tom Dupree Jr. and Mike Johnson share the founding story of Dupree Financial Group—a journey that began with a simple walk in the woods near Natural Bridge in Kentucky in February 2002 and evolved into a comprehensive wealth management approach designed specifically for Lexington-area retirement investors. The Origin Story: From Brokerage Dissatisfaction to Independent Registered Investment Advisor Tom Dupree recalls the pivotal moment that sparked the creation of Dupree Financial Group. Walking through the woods with his young son James on his shoulders, he realized the traditional brokerage firm model wasn’t aligned with the future he envisioned for his family and clients. “I got this joy, this excitement in my heart thinking about doing this,” Tom explains. “I was in no position to do it at all. I didn’t have any money. Strangely, my banker approved me for a loan to actually go get the office space and get it fitted up. And that fit-up is still the same fit-up we’re using. We have not changed it.” The firm officially opened in 2003, but Tom identifies 2010 as the true beginning of Dupree Financial Group as it exists today. That’s when the firm disassociated from an outside brokerage and became an independent Registered Investment Advisor (RIA). “In 2010, we disassociated ourselves with an outside brokerage firm and became what’s called an RIA, a Registered Investment Advisor, which meant that now we’re not paying 25% of our revenues to an outside firm,” Tom shares. “That enabled us to do a lot more internally, and it really was the beginning of the firm that we know today.” Key Takeaways: Why Dupree Financial Group Started Client-focused mission: Created to serve average retirement investors who wouldn’t necessarily get attention from major brokerage firms Cost structure advantage: Lower overhead means smaller accounts receive meaningful attention and personalized service Local accountability: Designed specifically to respond to clients in Lexington, Kentucky, and the surrounding region Team approach: Built from the ground up to provide collaborative service rather than single-broker relationships Independence: Becoming an RIA in 2010 eliminated the pressure to use proprietary products and allowed true fiduciary responsibility Personalized Investment Management vs. Mass-Market Approaches One of the core distinctions Tom emphasizes is the difference between Dupree Financial Group’s model and the mass-market approach taken by larger national firms. Rather than assigning clients to investment counselors within a large hierarchy, Dupree Financial Group provides direct access to portfolio managers who actually research and select the investments. “When you’re talking to somebody, to one of us, the team that you’re talking to is also the team that is designing your investment portfolio, actually helping pick stocks and bonds to own in the portfolio,” Tom explains. “Now why is that a big deal? Well, when I was with Brand X, they had a guy in New York who was brilliant, and he really was brilliant, and he was a stock picker. You didn’t ever talk to him, but he would publish a list of things that you ought to buy.” That approach failed catastrophically during the 2001-2002 market downturn, when many clients saw portfolios decline 50% with little communication or accountability from their advisors. “It wasn’t so much the fact that everything went down, although that was a big part of it, but it was the lack of communication,” Tom notes. “It was not being willing to be accountable for what really had happened, and they just clammed up.” The Dupree Difference: Direct Access and Transparency Mike Johnson highlights several critical advantages of the Dupree Financial Group model: Team collaboration: Multiple professionals work together on research and portfolio management, producing better outcomes than single-advisor approaches Direct communication: Clients speak directly with the team members who make investment decisions Own investment selection: The firm conducts its own research and calls companies directly rather than relying on buy lists from headquarters Local presence: All revenues stay local and are reinvested in client services rather than flowing to Wall Street firms “The service team is way more aligned with the investment team,” Mike explains. “It’s not two separate functions sitting in the same room.” Investment Philosophy: Focus on Income and Risk Mitigation for Kentucky Retirement Planning Unlike money managers competing to beat specific indices, Dupree Financial Group takes a different approach focused specifically on retirement investors’ needs. This investment philosophy prioritizes income generation and risk mitigation over performance rankings. “We’re not trying to beat any index. We’re just investing in things that we see are good that we think meet our parameters for what we’re looking for,” Tom states. “The why is it’s a focus on risk mitigation, and it’s a focus on income. Those things actually make it pretty easy for us once we tie down the parameters of what we’re looking for.” Mike Johnson references a quote from investment manager Howard Marks that encapsulates a key industry problem: “If you want to be in the top 5% of money managers, you have to be willing to be in the bottom 5% too.” That statement, Mike explains, highlights the perverse incentives created when advisors chase index performance rather than focusing on actual client needs. Real Portfolio Examples: How the Strategy Works The team shares several examples of their investment approach in action: The 6.5% Dividend Stock: “We bought it in June. This company, our listeners would be familiar with. At the time, it had a six-and-a-half percent dividend yield, and the valuation was attractive when you look at the hard assets that they had. We felt some things could go right for the company over the next couple of years. And in the meantime, the stock had gone down significantly, so there was a lot of bad news priced in already. Since then, the stock has gone up to what we thought it would go up to over the next two to four years. It just did it in four months.” The Grocery Company: “We invested in a company the other day—it was a grocery company well known within Central Kentucky. It’s gotten cheap. We just knew it as being a household name that pays a small dividend.” The Clothing Brand: “It’s kind of a clothing company, well-known. It puts out some major, well-known brands. The thing’s gone from a hundred dollars to 30-something, so we decided to take a look there. That one pays a pretty good dividend.” These examples demonstrate the value-focused, income-oriented approach that differentiates Dupree Financial Group from index-chasing strategies. The Team Approach: Building Long-Term Relationships Over Transactions A fundamental principle at Dupree Financial Group is the shift from transactional relationships to ongoing partnerships. Tom explains how his years at major brokerage firms taught him what he didn’t want to replicate. “One thing that I learned in the big firms was that it’s always about the transaction. It’s about the trade,” Tom recalls. “You were constantly having to pursue that trade, do this trade with this client, do that trade with that client. I didn’t want it to be about the trade anymore. I wanted it to be about the relationship.” This philosophy manifests in several concrete ways: Regular review process: Unlike transactional brokerage relationships, Dupree Financial Group built systematic client reviews into the firm’s DNA from the beginning No pressure to sell: Because clients have already committed to the process, meetings focus on education and information rather than sales Team accountability: Multiple team members take responsibility for each client rather than the single-broker model Transparent communication: When investments don’t work out, the team explains why openly rather than avoiding difficult conversations “When our clients come in for a review or they call with a question, they know we’re not trying to sell them anything,” Mike emphasizes. “It’s informational. It’s actually something they can use.” Direct Company Research: An Uncommon Practice One aspect of Dupree Financial Group’s approach that sets them apart is their practice of directly contacting companies they invest in—something Tom notes is rare among medium and small-sized investment advisors. “We do calls with these companies. In some cases, we’ve gone to visit them—the actual company itself that we’re investing in,” Tom explains. “That would’ve been unheard of in our previous setup. A big part of what we do is talk to the clients—I say clients, the businesses that we invest in. We talk to them, we want to find out what they’re doing, learn a little bit about management and do the best we can to really do our due diligence.” This hands-on research approach provides insights that buy lists and analyst reports simply cannot match. Four Generations of Financial Service: The Dupree Family Legacy The commitment to serving clients runs deep in the Dupree family history. Tom shares how his grandfather entered the investment business around 1920 in Louisville, Kentucky, selling preferred stock for Louisville Gas and Electric directly to the public before moving into municipal bonds. “My grandfather was the first one of our line that was in the investment business,” Tom explains. “Then my dad got into the business after being in the navy, I think it was around 1955 in Harlan, Kentucky. Then me and now my two sons are in the business.” Tom’s father moved the family to Lexington in 1963 and founded Dupree and Company, which managed municipal bond issues and eventually started the Kentucky Tax Free Mutual Fund in 1979. “Their idea was always to make a thing for clients that the clients could use, that was a retail thing,” Tom notes. “And so I carried that concern for the clients into what I did when we started Dupree Financial Group.” This multi-generational focus on creating client-centered investment solutions forms the foundation of the firm’s culture today. Tom’s sons, Clark and James, are involved with Dupree Financial Group, making the fourth generation of Duprees in the investment business. The Evolution: Early Struggles to Established Success Tom is refreshingly transparent about the challenges of the firm’s early years. After opening in 2003, success didn’t come easily or quickly. “It certainly was frightening during those early days of opening the firm and wondering if anybody would ever show up,” Tom recalls. “We did all these seminars, lots of them, over a hundred. People would show up, and now and then we’d get a client out of it. It took a lot of work.” The firm began regular radio broadcasts around 2008, which helped build awareness and credibility in the Lexington community. But the real transformation came in 2010 with the transition to RIA status. “When we became an RIA, it opened up possibilities for investment options that we didn’t have before,” Mike reflects. “It got the pressure of the heavy hand off to use proprietary products. That hand was always on you. And so that was lifted. It was like the skies opened up that you had this flexibility now.” Mike adds a crucial point about this transition: “At the same time, that was a sobering feeling. Now it was on you. You can’t blame it on anybody. But from our client’s standpoint, that was something that was a positive because the accountability increased for the firm.” Client Retention: The Ultimate Validation Perhaps the strongest validation of Dupree Financial Group’s approach is client retention. Tom notes that the firm keeps clients longer and longer—a testament to the relationship-building model. “We seem to be keeping clients longer and longer, so evidently we did something right,” Tom observes. “Once we got the buggy built, we really haven’t fooled with it much. We’ve tried to do some tweaks here and there, but the basic chassis has served us pretty well.” Why the “Why” Matters for Kentucky Retirement Investors For pre-retirees and retirees evaluating financial advisors, understanding the “why” behind a firm’s approach provides crucial insight into what kind of service you’ll receive. Dupree Financial Group’s founding principles remain consistent today: Serve retirement investors who might not get attention from large brokerage firms Maintain local presence and accountability in Lexington, Kentucky Provide team-based service rather than single-advisor relationships Focus on income and risk mitigation rather than index performance Conduct independent research and select individual investments Build long-term relationships rather than pursuing transactions Communicate transparently about both successes and setbacks As Tom reflects: “It really wasn’t about the investment performance. It’s about the touch, it’s about the accountability, those sorts of things. And that’s the kind of thing we’ve set up. That was what I envisioned when I started this thing—that we would give the clients more of what they should have been getting at the Wall Street firms.” Ready to Experience the Dupree Financial Group Difference?

Frequently Asked Questions About Dupree Financial Group What makes Dupree Financial Group different from large brokerage firms? Dupree Financial Group operates as an independent Registered Investment Advisor (RIA), meaning the firm doesn’t pay commissions to Wall Street parent companies and doesn’t face pressure to use proprietary products. The team that meets with clients is the same team that researches and selects investments, providing direct accountability and transparency. All revenues stay local and reinvest in client services rather than flowing to distant corporate headquarters. Why did Tom Dupree start his own financial advisory firm? Tom founded Dupree Financial Group in 2003 after 19 years with a major brokerage firm, where he witnessed the limitations of the transactional, sales-focused model. He envisioned creating a firm that would serve average retirement investors with personalized attention, team-based accountability, and a focus on long-term relationships rather than individual trades. The firm became truly independent in 2010 when it transitioned to RIA status. What is the investment philosophy at Dupree Financial Group? Unlike money managers competing to beat specific indices, Dupree Financial Group focuses on income generation and risk mitigation for retirement investors. The team conducts its own research, including direct calls to companies they invest in, and selects individual stocks and bonds based on dividend yield, valuation, and margin of safety rather than trying to match or beat market benchmarks. How does the team approach at Dupree Financial Group benefit clients? The team model means clients receive the collective expertise of multiple professionals rather than relying on a single advisor’s perspective. Multiple team members share responsibility for each client account, improving service levels and ensuring continuity. This collaborative approach produces better research outcomes and provides clients with consistent access to knowledgeable professionals. What types of clients does Dupree Financial Group serve? Dupree Financial Group specializes in serving pre-retirees and retirees, particularly those who might not receive personalized attention from large brokerage firms. The firm’s cost structure allows them to provide meaningful, customized service to clients with retirement accounts of various sizes, with a focus on the Lexington, Kentucky area and surrounding regions. How often does Dupree Financial Group communicate with clients? Regular client reviews are built into the firm’s DNA from the beginning. Unlike transactional brokerage relationships where communication happens only when making trades, Dupree Financial Group maintains ongoing dialogue with clients through systematic review processes. These meetings focus on education and information rather than sales, since clients have already committed to the firm’s investment process. Does Dupree Financial Group charge fees or commissions? As a fee-based Registered Investment Advisor, Dupree Financial Group operates under a fiduciary standard, meaning it’s legally required to act in clients’ best interests. This fee-based structure eliminates conflicts of interest inherent in commission-based brokerage relationships and aligns the firm’s success with client outcomes.

Andrew Ross Sorkin has spent his career following the money to understand everything — from Wall Street to Silicon Valley, from media to AI. A journalist who never set out to be one, Sorkin built DealBook into the Super Bowl of business journalism, turning curiosity into empire-building. In Boardroom's October Cover Story, he shares how an overheard word such as “internet” landed him at The New York Times, how he approaches interviews like a tennis rally rather than a serve, and why Oprah remains his white whale. Through stories of Too Big to Fail, the 1929 crash, and the coming AI reckoning, Sorkin unpacks how narrative drives markets, crashes, and comebacks alike. From Elon Musk's many personas to the billion-dollar game of sports, streaming, and live entertainment, this is Andrew Ross Sorkin: journalist, storyteller, dealmaker — chasing what feels impossible, one conversation at a time.

Have you ever wondered why some people can walk away from a comfortable career and bet everything on themselves? In this episode, Cory and Ryan sit down with former Rutgers football player and Wall Street trader turned real estate entrepreneur, Peter Tverdov, to unpack how an athlete mindset can completely change the way you approach money, work, and risk. Pete shares how growing up obsessed with football, grinding through division one practices, and then entering a rigid corporate environment showed him he was never wired for a safe nine to five. He walks through the moment he realized he would rather be unemployed than spend another year ignoring his potential, and how he used that same obsessive energy to quietly build a management and construction company that now oversees around one hundred million dollars of real estate in New Jersey. You will hear how property management became his real world classroom, why he believes most people are naturally meant to eat what they kill, and how living far below his means gave him the runway to take real swings. Pete also opens up about bringing his younger brother into the business, building systems so he could step out of day to day headaches, and designing a life where he can take vacations, drop his kids at school, and still play the long game in business. If you are an ex athlete, a high performer stuck in a corporate role, or someone who feels that unexplained pull toward something bigger, this conversation will show you what it actually looks like to bet on yourself and build a life you own. Book your mentorship discovery call with Cory RESOURCES

From Wall Street's “culture of no” to early-Google hypergrowth to building a consulting business in Memphis with three kids, Meg lived the arc most founders dream about—and learned that money is only one measurement. Freedom, contribution, intellectual fulfillment, and time with family often matter far more.In this episode, we trace her journey from HR leader to entrepreneur, why business development is the real gauntlet, how networks—not algorithms—actually create opportunity, and why the ability to choose your work may be the highest form of wealth.We talk about corporate identity, the loneliness of early consulting, the illusion of digital shortcuts, and the gift of designing your life around family—especially when life throws real-world challenges like caring for a dying parent.No clichés. No hustle fantasy.Just the reality behind “success”—and why meaning often pays in different currencies.TL;DRSuccess isn't salary: Impact, thought leadership, and flexibility often matter more than income.Corporate → Startup → Consulting: Three worlds, three definitions of achievement.Network beats algorithms: You don't get clients—or jobs—from LinkedIn applications.
