Wall Street treats demand like a line on a chart. Rob Snyder says that's exactly why investors keep getting burned. Motley Fool analyst Rachel Warren talks with Rob Snyder — Harvard Innovation Labs fellow, serial startup founder, and author of The Power of Pull — about why customers almost never buy things because they were convinced to, what that means for how you evaluate a publicly traded company's growth story, and how the AI boom is exposing which software businesses have genuine demand and which ones are papering it over with an ever-growing sales and marketing budget. He also shares the one financial metric he trusts above all others — and the surprisingly mundane AI use cases he's most excited about.

Nowadays, scrappy pirate broadcasters rule over shortwave radio. On this week's On the Media, an unlikely group of finance bros have plans to take over the frequencies for their own gain. In recent years, creative, often music-focused pirate broadcasting has been thriving on shortwave radio. But these surreptitious broadcasters are up against a surprising enemy: Not the FCC, but a deep-pocketed group of finance bros that is trying to wrestle the airwaves away from the public, and use them for a money-making scheme completely antithetical to broadcasting. This week we share an episode of The Divided Dial, which first aired last year. Reporter Katie Thornton asks: What do we lose when we give up our public airwaves?

American ranchers are facing a multifront assault from foreign meatpacking monopolies, elite land grabs, government-sponsored subsidies and monopolies, and politicians who put special interests first. I sit down with Joe Maxwell, farmer and president of Farm Action Fund, to expose the catastrophic reality behind recent political moves impacting the agricultural heartland. From Donald Trump's disastrous push to import foreign beef without tariffs, to the intentional suppression of the PRIME Act and Country of Origin Labeling, the bipartisan elites are actively working to squeeze out the independent American rancher. He also warns that it's inconceivable that the beef imports are perfectly healthy protein, given the 25% price cut in this market. However, this isn't just about the price of ground beef — it's about techno-feudalism. Wall Street, Big Tech, and foreign corporations are executing the largest land grab since the Indian Wars, attempting to consolidate American farmland for data centers, solar fields, and corporate monopolies.

Intoxicating Whispers are those thoughts that sound good enough to follow, but dangerous enough to destroy you. The market teaches you that noise gets loud when emotions get high. Everybody got a Hot Tip, a prediction, a shortcut promising quick money. But disciplined investors don't move off whispers, they move off conviction, fundamentals, and strategy. Life works the same way. Everything speaking to you ain't sent by GOD. Some voices feed your ego while starving your purpose. Some opportunities look profitable but cost you peace. That's why discernment is wealth. Learn to recognize the difference between what excites you and what aligns you, because sometimes the most expensive decision you'll ever make starts with a whisper that sounded too good to ignore.Join our Exclusive Patreon!!!

What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want isn't your circumstances, your past, or your limitations, but the identity you've been programmed to believe is you? In this powerful conversation, Darin sits down with health entrepreneur, coach, and author Jim Curtis to explore what it really takes to release the past, reclaim personal responsibility, and consciously become a new version of yourself. After developing a spinal cord lesion at just 19 that eventually left him unable to walk, Jim spent years searching everywhere from major medical institutions to shamans, healers, hypnosis, and spiritual teachers for someone who could fix him. Eventually, his search brought him back to himself. Jim shares the framework behind his new book, The Book of Possibility: Release, Align, Become. Together, he and Darin unpack how childhood programming becomes adult identity, why awareness is the first step toward freedom, how resentment keeps us attached to old versions of ourselves, and why changing your life often requires having the courage to become someone your current identity doesn't yet recognize. They also explore the dangers of outsourcing your spiritual growth, psychedelics as tools rather than destinations, radical responsibility, forgiveness, purpose, human connection, and why the coming age of AI and automation may make genuine face-to-face connection more important than ever. Ultimately, this is a conversation about possibility: not waiting for someone to save you, but realizing that you are the possibility you've been searching for. What You'll Learn Why Jim believes you need to become your own guru instead of constantly searching for someone to fix you How a spinal cord lesion at 19 completely changed the trajectory of Jim's life Why pain and suffering can become gateways to transformation How childhood experiences and subconscious programming shape adult identity Jim's Release, Align, Become framework for creating lasting change Why forgiveness can free you without requiring reconciliation How radical responsibility breaks the victim-villain dynamic Why changing your identity can feel terrifying even when your current life is making you miserable The difference between using psychedelics as transformational tools and using them to escape Why human connection, purpose, curiosity, and presence may become increasingly valuable in an automated world Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:34 – Sponsor: MycoDog 00:02:01 – Meet Jim Curtis and The Book of Possibility 00:04:00 – What if you are the possibility? 00:05:17 – Why people stop themselves from dreaming 00:05:50 – Stop outsourcing your spiritual growth 00:07:05 – No one is coming to save you 00:08:28 – Ego, shadow work, and creating space to choose 00:09:10 – Why you should question the guru 00:10:11 – Ram Dass and the reality of being human 00:11:15 – Darin's first experience with ayahuasca 00:12:17 – Psychedelics can open the door, but then what? 00:13:02 – Sponsor: Manna Vitality 00:14:57 – Psychedelics, ibogaine, and bringing the lessons back to life 00:16:48 – Powerful tools aren't meant to become an escape 00:17:13 – Hypno-meditation and changing yourself from within 00:18:23 – Why Jim wouldn't take away your pain 00:19:09 – Jim's beliefs about trauma, illness, and healing 00:20:05 – The spinal cord lesion that changed Jim's life 00:20:55 – Losing his ability to walk and searching the world for healing 00:21:44 – Discovering hypnosis, meditation, and altered states 00:22:39 – Meeting Dr. Brian Weiss and experiencing past-life regression 00:23:11 – Wall Street, WebMD, and walking away from the wrong identity 00:24:10 – Jim's health collapses again 00:25:25 – The wake-up call that completely changed his future 00:26:02 – How radically changing your identity changes your life 00:27:31 – The Release, Align, Become method 00:28:12 – How childhood programming becomes adult identity 00:29:01 – You have to see the cage before you can escape it 00:29:24 – Forgiveness as a tool for releasing the past 00:30:02 – Escaping the cage of resentment 00:30:57 – Are adults still reacting from their eight-year-old selves? 00:31:25 – You are not your thoughts, emotions, or identity 00:32:05 – Why becoming someone new feels terrifying 00:33:24 – On the other side of pain is possibility 00:35:10 – Darin takes responsibility for the end of his marriage 00:37:14 – Breaking the villain-victim dynamic 00:38:01 – The small conversations that create enormous change 00:39:12 – Releasing the old self 00:39:44 – Aligning with what you actually want 00:40:30 – Who must you become to create that life? 00:41:15 – Creating and embodying a new identity 00:41:54 – Why healthy choices become acts of self-honor 00:42:37 – Building health into your identity instead of obsessing over it 00:44:07 – Expanding your consciousness and seeing new possibilities 00:45:26 – Reprogramming the brain through Jim's book and hypno-meditations 00:46:10 – What happens when possibilities start opening 00:46:51 – The possibility isn't outside you.

You don't have to spend your entire life searching for the next guru, healer, relationship, achievement, or external thing that will finally make you whole. Become aware of the programming you absorbed, release the identity that no longer serves you, align with what you actually want, and start becoming the person capable of living it. The moment you stop waiting to be saved and recognize that you are the source, possibility stops being something somewhere in the future. It becomes who you are."
Meta announced this week that it has agreed to pay up to $18 billion to settle a landmark trial over social media addiction. It also agreed to add stronger child-safety measures on its platforms like Instagram and Facebook. Some of the changes could include new screen time limits, disabled notifications and restrictions during school hours. Plus, Nvidia reported strong quarterly earnings earlier this week, again. And while investors have been wary of AI spending, Wall Street seemed pleased with the results this time. And the Environmental Protection Agency is planning to eliminate a requirement that forces states to publicize and seek public feedback for new air pollution permits.

Carlos Feliciano regresa a Café en Mano para hablar claro sobre dinero, inversiones y la realidad económica que estamos viviendo en Puerto Rico y Estados Unidos.En este episodio hablamos de por qué Wall Street puede estar en máximos mientras muchas familias sienten que el dinero rinde menos, el impacto de la inteligencia artificial en la economía, Bitcoin, oro, S&P 500 y el error de creer que estás diversificado cuando realmente estás comprando las mismas compañías varias veces.También entramos en uno de los debates más controversiales: ¿es mejor comprar una casa o invertir ese dinero? Carlos explica cuándo puede tener sentido NO tener prisa por saldar una deuda con intereses bajos y qué deberías considerar antes de comprar una propiedad simplemente porque la sociedad te dice que “ya te toca”.Además, hablamos del riesgo de hacer negocios en Puerto Rico, cash flow, carros de $100,000+, la falsa idea de que “los verdaderos millonarios manejan carros viejos” y por qué nunca puedes saber cuánto dinero tiene una persona simplemente por cómo se ve.Y cerramos con algo que muchas veces se pierde hablando de finanzas: ahorrar e invertir es importante, pero la juventud también pasa una sola vez.Cita con CAF: https://calendly.com/cafinvestments/15min?month=2026-08⚠️ Este contenido es exclusivamente educativo y no constituye asesoría financiera.

Another trading week is in the books... And today, we may have gotten our clearest look yet at how Kevin Warsh intends to run the Federal Reserve. In his first Jackson Hole keynote as Fed Chairman, Warsh delivered a message Wall Street had been waiting for—giving investors important insight into how he views inflation, interest rates, employment, artificial intelligence and the future direction of monetary policy. And there was one message that came through loud and clear: The fight against inflation isn't over. Warsh reiterated that the Federal Reserve's 2% inflation objective is a firm target, pushed back against the idea that recent softer inflation readings necessarily represent a meaningful change in trend, and warned that if inflation isn't moving toward that objective quickly enough... The Fed still has "work to do." Markets immediately took notice. Treasury yields moved higher, the dollar strengthened, and expectations for another potential interest-rate hike increased as traders digested what Warsh's comments could mean for the September FOMC meeting. But today's speech went much deeper than simply "rates up or rates down." We'll break down: Warsh's inflation warning – Why price stability appears to be the Fed's predominant concern right now Interest rates – Did Warsh just open the door wider to another rate hike? The labor market – Why Warsh doesn't appear convinced that softer employment data automatically means the economy is weakening The death of forward guidance? – Warsh wants a "quieter Fed" that spends less time telling Wall Street what it intends to do next AI and productivity – Why artificial intelligence could dramatically alter economic growth, employment and ultimately monetary policy The bond market – What today's move in Treasury yields tells us about how investors interpreted the speech Stocks & risk assets – What a potentially more hawkish Federal Reserve could mean for the S&P 500, Nasdaq, technology and crypto September's FOMC meeting – What traders should be watching between now and the next rate decision One of the most fascinating parts of Warsh's message may be his philosophy toward the relationship between the Federal Reserve and Wall Street. For years, traders have parsed every Fed speech looking for clues about the central bank's next move. Warsh appears to want to change that. His argument is essentially that markets shouldn't be constantly looking to the Federal Reserve for their next trade. That's a significant philosophical shift. Less forward guidance. More dependence on actual economic data. And potentially a lot more uncertainty for traders. That's why today's Jackson Hole speech could ultimately prove much more important than one interest-rate decision. It gave us a glimpse into the Warsh Federal Reserve playbook. For additional research, read Kevin Warsh's official Jackson Hole remarks and visit the Federal Reserve's FOMC page for upcoming monetary-policy decisions. Listen now:
This week on Bad Dads Film Review, Wolf Week continues as Sidey, Dan and new dad Jamie sink their teeth into Martin Scorsese's riotous financial crime epic The Wolf of Wall Street, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Margot Robbie, Matthew McConaughey, Kyle Chandler, Rob Reiner, Jon Bernthal, Jon Favreau and Joanna Lumley. With Reegs absent and therefore no proper intro to keep things vaguely professional, the dads begin by catching up on what they've been watching. Dan has largely swapped screen time for Cold War spy histories while his wife is away in the Czech Republic for the summer, Jamie has returned to the comforting embrace of Blue Bloods, No Offence and Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, and Sidey has endured Jason Statham's Mutiny, a revenge-on-a-boat action thriller with suspiciously Die Hard-adjacent poster energy. The Top 5 this week is Wolves, which naturally sends the conversation roaming all over the cultural wilderness. There's Winston Wolf from Pulp Fiction, Moro from Princess Mononoke, Teen Wolf and the obvious sporting advantage of being Michael J. Fox with werewolf powers, plus Shrek's Big Bad Wolf and a detour through wolf-related music from Warren Zevon, Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, Duran Duran, Howlin' Wolf, Steppenwolf, Los Lobos, Wolfmother and Wolf Alice. Liam Neeson's miserable survival odds in The Grey get a mention, as do Bad Wolf and Rose Tyler from Doctor Who, Jack Nicholson in Wolf, Remus Lupin, Dances with Wolves, Portia Crystal from Sing 2, Lupine Howl, the direwolves from Game of Thrones, How Wolves Change Rivers, Rainier Wolfcastle and Oz from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Then it's on to The Wolf of Wall Street, a film the dads note is arriving neatly alongside Jersey's current Martin Scorsese cinema season. They follow Jordan Belfort from his first day as Wall Street pond scum through Matthew McConaughey's career-rescuing lunch scene of coke, booze,chest-thumping and “rookie numbers”, before Black Monday promptly ends any chance of a respectable finance career. From there it's penny stocks, Spike Jonze, 50% commissions and the arrival of Donnie Azoff, whose cousin-wife logic, blinding white teeth and crack-pipe networking help turn Stratton Oakmont into a full-blown fraud machine. Along the way, the dads dig into the film's most notorious moments: the “sell me this pen” lesson, motivational speeches, middle fingers to clients, dwarf tossing, strippers, head shaving, Rob Reiner as Belfort's furious father, Margot Robbie's Naomi making her entrance, Donnie's appalling first impression, the famous 11-second romance, Vegas excess, penicillin shots and a superyacht wedding present. They also cover Kyle Chandler's FBI agent Patrick Denham closing in, Jon Favreau's lawyer trying desperately to make Jordan stop, the Steve Madden IPO, hidden stock ownership, Joanna Lumley's Aunt Emma and the Swiss bank account, plus Jordan's spectacularly arrogant attempt to bribe the FBI with lobster, prostitutes and absolutely no self-awareness. The review also takes in the yacht storm and Italian rescue, the infamous Lemmon Quaaludes sequence with crawling, ham-choking and the destroyed Lamborghini reveal, Jordan wearing a wire while warning Donnie not to incriminate himself, and the ugly final collapse as Naomi demands a divorce, Jordan turns violent and everything finally crashes. By the end, the dads are left wrestling with prison, sales seminars and the uncomfortable question of whether the film really works as a cautionary tale, or whether it is simply too entertaining for its own good. Verdicts are strong across the board. Sidey recommends it, while still insisting it is far too long. Dan also gives it a strong recommend, particularly for the endlessly quotable scenes, and Jamie calls it a must-watch — although preferably consumed as three one-hour chunks rather than one enormous sitting.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

You've built the capital. You know how to make money. And you've been doing everything you think you should be doing to build wealth. But have you ever stopped to ask: am I driving a Honda Civic or a Lamborghini? Most women measure their portfolio by how much gasoline they keep putting into the tank - $20K here, $50K there, without ever stopping to ask what kind of car they're actually driving. And putting premium gas into a '92 Honda Civic does not turn it into a Lamborghini. Tune in to learn: The scoreboard most women are measuring vs. the one that actually dictates the speed of your wealth. The anatomy of a Lamborghini portfolio and why more is not better. How a Lamborghini portfolio is very different from a Honda portfolio. How to think about outsourcing your wealth in a way that completely flips everything you've been taught on its head.

A Note from James:In 1790, one of the easiest ways to get rich in America was the old-fashioned way: marry someone rich.George Washington did pretty well that way. Benjamin Franklin, meanwhile, was so deep in debt that he offered to marry a woman if her parents would mortgage their house to pay off his printing press debt. When they said no, he married someone else who had money.And back then, debt was not just annoying. It could land you in debtor's prison. Actual prison. And not just you—your wife and kids could go too.Fast-forward to the 1900s, and most Americans still were not buying stocks. Only a tiny percentage owned shares. Everyday people were gambling, playing the numbers, using dream-interpretation books to decide what lottery number to play, and trying to find some edge that would move them a little closer to security.My guest today, Joseph Moore, literally wrote the book on this: How to Get Rich in American History: 300 Years of Financial Advice That Worked (& Didn't).The book is full of strange, funny, surprising stories about money in America: Franklin, Washington, debtor's prison, the Great Depression, bucket shops, real estate booms, FIRE, crypto, debt, index funds, and all the scams people keep falling for.But the bigger lesson is that the basic patterns have not changed as much as we think.People want security. People want freedom. People want hope. People want a way out. And whenever there is hope, there is usually someone selling a formula.Joseph has very little patience for the usual personal finance myths. Debt does not make you rich. Opportunity makes you rich. Real estate is not always a magic wealth machine. The stock market was not designed to be everyone's retirement plan. FIRE can work, but it can also become the CrossFit of personal finance. And optimism, marriage, mobility, risk, and solving other people's problems may matter more than almost anything else.If you think the rules for getting rich have changed completely, this conversation may convince you how little human nature has changed.Episode Description:Joseph Moore joins James to talk about the long, strange history of getting rich in America.His book, How to Get Rich in American History, looks at 300 years of financial advice—what worked, what failed, what people kept repeating, and what today's money culture keeps forgetting.The conversation starts in 1790, with George Washington, Martha Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Stephen Girard, debt, leverage, and debtor's prison. Joseph explains that many early American fortunes were built through risk, borrowed money, marriage, luck, and then—critically—de-leveraging over time.That becomes one of the core lessons of the episode: debt does not make people rich. Opportunity does. Debt is only a tool that allows someone to grab more of an opportunity than they otherwise could. But if the opportunity is not real, or the person cannot handle the risk, debt destroys them.James and Joseph then move into real estate. Joseph argues that real estate is a good way to build a modest middle-class fortune, but not usually the path to the biggest fortunes. In modern America, he says, real estate often functions as a short on the dollar, an income annuity in a low-dividend world, a tax shelter, and a way for ordinary people to use leverage they could not access anywhere else. But that does not make buying a house automatically smart. Renting versus buying depends on age, mobility, location, family needs, inflation, taxes, maintenance, transaction costs, and opportunity cost.The conversation then turns to the stock market. Joseph challenges the usual historical charts that claim anyone could have invested a fixed sum in 1929 and held forever. Most Americans could not invest that way. There were no index funds, mutual funds had high fees, and buying an index directly required enormous capital. Instead, everyday people went to bucket shops, bet on price moves, played the numbers, and treated gambling as a kind of financial hope.James and Joseph also discuss passive investing, shadow indexing, the rise of ETFs and 401(k)s, and the way the stock market has become a mass retirement promise. Joseph points out that this is historically new. For most of American history, no ordinary person would have expected to retire on the stock market.From there, the episode moves to FIRE: financial independence, retire early. Joseph has lived part of that story himself. He built enough wealth through rental real estate after 2008 to stop working for a period, only to discover that early retirement was not automatically fulfilling. He compares FIRE to CrossFit: extreme, demanding, sometimes powerful, sometimes injurious, and not a lifestyle most people actually want.The final section asks the big question: What has consistently worked?Joseph boils the lessons down to five pillars: solve other people's problems, take risks, move toward opportunity, marry well, and believe you can. James adds that optimism matters because it keeps people in the game long enough to get more shots on goal.The result is a conversation about money, but also about history, risk, luck, marriage, mobility, discipline, scams, and the difference between getting rich and staying rich.What You'll Learn:Why early American wealth often involved marriage, leverage, luck, and risk.How George Washington's marriage to Martha helped fund the Washington we remember.Why Benjamin Franklin's public advice about debt did not match his own early financial behavior.What debtor's prison meant in early America, including the risk to families.Why debt is a tool, not a wealth strategy by itself.Why opportunity—not debt—is what actually makes people rich.Why real estate can build middle-class wealth but rarely creates the biggest fortunes.How buying a home can reduce mobility and opportunity, especially for younger people.Why renting versus buying is situational, not a universal rule.Why most Americans historically could not invest in the stock market the way modern charts imply.What bucket shops and “the numbers” reveal about everyday financial hope.How passive investing changed the purpose of the stock market.Why stock-market concentration is not new, but mass participation is.Why FIRE can work mathematically and still fail psychologically.How older financial-independence stories often hid trust funds, inheritances, or outside support.Why inflation is one of the biggest risks to early retirement.Why getting rich and staying rich require different behavior.Why successful people often take risk early and reduce risk later.Why optimism is financially useful when it keeps people in the game.The five recurring pillars Joseph sees across American wealth-building history.Timestamped Chapters:[05:00] How to Get Rich in 1790James asks Joseph how someone got rich in early America, starting with George Washington, Martha Washington, and marriage as a financial strategy.[07:24] Stephen Girard and Benjamin Franklin's DebtJoseph compares Stephen Girard's leveraged rise with Franklin's messy early business debts.[10:29] Debt Does Not Make You RichJoseph explains that opportunity creates wealth, while debt simply lets someone reach for more of that opportunity.[11:23] Debtor's Prison Was RealJoseph explains why failing in the 1790s could mean prison not only for the debtor, but for the debtor's family.[12:25] The Real Estate MythJoseph argues that real estate can build modest wealth, but rarely creates the biggest fortunes.[13:43] Real Estate as a Short on the DollarJoseph explains modern real estate as an inflation bet, income annuity, tax shelter, and leverage tool.[15:22] You Need an EdgeJames argues that every bet has someone on the other side, which means investors need to know what their advantage actually is.[16:18] Beating the Market, Missing the MomentJoseph tells the story of shorting Jim Cramer stock pops, beating the market net of theory, losing to fees, and missing his daughter's first steps.[19:56] Shadow Passive InvestingJames and Joseph discuss hedge funds, index tracking, fees, and the way much of Wall Street quietly follows the same big benchmarks.[20:31] The Index RevolutionJoseph explains why Vanguard's 1976 index fund changed investing for ordinary Americans—and why passive investing may create new structural risks.[24:24] The Four Percent of Stocks That MatterJames and Joseph discuss stock-market returns, T-bills, concentration, and why a small number of companies drive most gains.[25:16] The Second Bank CrashJoseph compares modern market concentration to the 1830s, when the Second Bank of the United States made up a huge share of the stock market before collapsing.[26:21] The Stock Market as a Retirement PromiseJoseph explains why turning the stock market into a mass retirement strategy is historically new.[29:58] The Problem With “The Chart”Joseph criticizes the classic financial-advisor chart that assumes someone in 1929 invested a large sum, held forever, and never touched it.[31:17] Bucket Shops and Playing the NumbersJoseph explains how everyday people used gambling, bucket shops, and lottery-like games as financial hope when stock ownership was out of reach.[34:04] The Mean Moves Through TimeJoseph explains why history is not physics and why the “average” keeps changing as the economy changes.[35:49] Renting vs. BuyingJames and Joseph debate the homeownership myth, maintenance, taxes, transaction costs, mobility, family stability, and when buying can make sense.[41:02] FIRE and the Question of EnoughJames asks how much is enough in 2026, and Joseph explains why the answer depends on location, expectations, security, and lifestyle.[44:24] FIRE as the CrossFit of Personal FinanceJoseph compares FIRE to an extreme discipline that can work for some people but injure others if they push too hard.[45:38] Geoarbitrage and Selling the DreamJames and Joseph discuss moving somewhere cheaper, Instagram FIRE influencers, and the difference between living the dream and monetizing the dream.[46:00] The Long History of Financial IndependenceJoseph traces earlier versions of FIRE through Sylvester Judd, Thoreau, Emerson, and Helen and Scott Nearing.[49:17] Inflation and the FIRE RiskJoseph explains how Your Money or Your Life and bond-heavy financial independence strategies ran into changing interest-rate realities.[50:23] Five Pillars of Getting RichJoseph lays out the durable lessons: solve problems, take risks, move more, marry well, and believe you can.[53:43] Marriage, Optimism, and Staying in the GameJames and Joseph talk about supportive partnership, optimism, savings discipline, and why staying in the game increases opportunity.[56:11] The Line Between Optimism and RecklessnessJoseph distinguishes productive optimism from gambling and explains why control over outcomes matters.[58:28] Getting Rich vs. Staying RichJoseph explains why many wealthy people take risk early, then de-lever over time to keep what they built.[01:00:00] Leverage, Trading, and the Guy Who Never StopsJames and Joseph discuss extreme leverage, Bitcoin futures, Jesse Livermore, gamblers, and why some people cannot walk away.Additional Resources:Joseph Moore - History HelpsHow to Get Rich in American History - Book PageHow to Get Rich in American

Ken Berenger has lost everything… twice. And each time, he found a way to rebuild not only his career and finances, but also his understanding of success, purpose, faith, and who he wanted to become. In this deeply personal conversation, Dr. Dan and Ken explore the experiences that shaped Ken's extraordinary resilience. Ken shares how a young singer with a mullet unexpectedly found himself on Wall Street, how financial success became intertwined with his identity and self-worth, and what happened when that success disappeared. Ken also opens up about the profound influence of his father, a hardworking ironworker who taught him lessons about family, contentment, character, and what it really means to be successful. He shares the emotional story of performing CPR on his father and receiving five more years with him before his recent passing. Through financial collapse, divorce, Superstorm Sandy, career reinvention, and the difficult work of rebuilding, Ken developed a simple practice: keep showing up. Prayer, gratitude, physical discipline, humility, and faith became anchors when he couldn't see what was coming next. Dr. Dan and Ken also discuss the danger of tying self-worth to productivity, why receiving help can sometimes be harder than giving it, the importance of having a few people who genuinely want to know how you're doing, and how adversity can eventually become one of life's greatest teachers. Ken's story is a powerful reminder that resilience doesn't mean having all the answers. Sometimes it simply means refusing to quit, staying open to what life is trying to show you, and trusting that your worst moment does not define your life. Your self-worth is bigger than your productivity. Success, income, titles, and accomplishments can disappear. Who you are does not have to disappear with them. Resilience is built by continuing to show up. You don't always need to know how everything will work out. Sometimes the next right step is simply getting through today and doing it again tomorrow. Adversity can become an opportunity for growth. Ken believes some of the greatest gifts in his life came from experiences he never would have chosen for himself. Receiving is part of strength. Allowing someone else to help you can require tremendous humility, but accepting love and support can also transform relationships. Notice the grace in ordinary moments. Growth and self-awareness help us recognize the small moments of beauty, connection, and gratitude that were there all along.

Today I had the good fortune to interview David Booth. Let me tell you a little bit about him. His modest upbringing in Kansas from selling newspapers at 8 years old to selling shoes as a teenager, to working on the team that launched the first index fund; to pioneering what would come to be known as factor investing, David Booth didn't just witness the financial revolution, he helped lead it. For five decades, he's bridged the worlds of academic theory and practical investing, collaborating with Nobel laureates to build Dimensional fund advisors into a $1 trillion global firm that has democratized evidence-based investing for millions. Booth earned degrees in economics and business from the University of Kansas, followed by an MBA from the University of Chicago. His Chicago education proved instrumental to his success, leading to a transformative gift to the business school in 2008. The University of Chicago Booth School of Business now bears his anime, and the contributions continue to support faculty and their field-defining research. Through his visionary application of financial theory to real world investing, Booth has established himself as one of the most influential figures in investing - an outsider who challenged Wall Street's conventional wisdom and won.

383: What Nonprofit Leaders Get Wrong About Growing Fast (Steve Isom)Episode SummaryNonprofit professionals often come to the sector craving mission, not metrics, and the discomfort that creates around money, growth, and hard numbers can quietly limit how far an organization goes. Steve Isom, Chief Operating and Financial Officer at Bloomerang, has spent nearly six years professionalizing the finance, operations, and customer functions behind the giving platform that now serves more than 24,000 nonprofits, and in this conversation he draws a direct line between his own path from Wall Street investment banking to nonprofit-adjacent leadership and the mindset shifts he sees separating scarcity-minded organizations from ones that grow without losing themselves. He talks candidly about scaling Bloomerang from 114 employees to roughly 600 without sacrificing the culture that built it, why hiring the “great people” leaders think they can't afford is usually the real unlock, and the three principles now guiding Bloomerang's approach to AI: mission is the metric, the relationship stays human, and your data stays yours. Listeners will walk away with a clearer case for treating fundraising and finance as fuel for the mission rather than a distraction from it, and a practical framework for growing fast without losing what made their organization work in the first place.About SteveSteve Isom is the Chief Operating and Financial Officer at Bloomerang, an Omaha, NE-based giving platform that unifies CRM, fundraising, and volunteer management for more than 24,000 nonprofit customers. He began his career in investment banking on Wall Street before moving into private equity investing in technology companies, then ran FP&A and finance for high-growth tech companies. He joined Bloomerang nearly six years ago, brought in by JMI Equity to professionalize the company's finance, accounting, legal, and IT functions, and earlier this year expanded his role to lead Bloomerang's customer organization as well, overseeing support, onboarding, and customer success. Isom serves on multiple nonprofit boards and has met with more than 100 Bloomerang customers in person over the past five years. Outside the office, he's a self-described “Type A” list-maker who still writes everything on scrap paper before consolidating it each night, and a devoted LEGO collector who runs his own LEGO fan account on Instagram.ResourcesSteve's LinkedInBloomerangBloomerang's three AI principles: mission is the metric, the relationship stays human, your data stays yoursBonus: Steve's LEGO fan account, @lego_doug_not_dad on InstagramBook recommendation: The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz (not a past guest)Join the Emerging Leaders in Philanthropy! www.institutepl.orgFollow Your Path to Nonprofit Leadership — and please leave a review!Learn more about the leadership resources at Armstrong McGuire — ArmstrongMcGuire.com
Financial media headlines keep warning about an impending "AI bubble." Is a crash coming, or is there more to the story? In a previous episode we argued that there is no AI Bubble. Nate Tonsager, CFA, CIPM doubles down on his position, taking a dive into the data to illustrate why current market conditions look very different from the 2000 tech crash. This episode breaks down the sectors like healthcare, financials, and consumer staples that are quietly outperforming tech. Nate also looks at how many companies beat their Q2 earnings estimates, why the market's price-to-growth ratio suggests stocks are fairly valued rather than overpriced, and what investors and CEOs are feeling about the economy right now. The takeaway: We don't think the data points to an AI Bubble. And while market volatility is a certainty, you can stay in the driver's seat by keeping a data-driven outlook and financial plan that is positioned for the long term, with 12-24 months of cash on hand to buffer any downturns.

Your 401k wasn't built for you — it was built for your employer's HR problem, with Wall Street, Congress, and your company all pulling for their own interests, not yours. Andy, Noah, and Corey recap the Wealth Freedom Challenge, unpacking why the plan feels like bait: real money concealing a hook you can't see until it's too late. They walk through the shift that actually changes outcomes — turning a vague dream into a priced, scheduled project — then break down the real one-two punch of wealth building: compounding and leverage without debt. A dream stays a wish. A project gets a weekly meeting.

He was the bruiser of Wall Street. In the early noughties, New York attorney-general Eliot Spitzer took it upon himself to expose the lies of stock analysts during the dotcom bubble. His crusade blindsided the bankers and made him one of America's most popular politicians. People even spoke of him as a possible US president before a scandal ended his political career almost overnight. In this episode of The Story of Money, host Gillian Tett speaks to Brooke Masters, FT US managing editor and author of Spoiling for a Fight: The Rise of Eliot Spitzer, to explore how Spitzer reshaped financial regulation during the dotcom era, why his aggressive tactics won both admirers and enemies and why his legacy still matters today.Further reading:Spoiling for a Fight: The Rise of Eliot Spitzer, (2006), Brooke MastersCredits: Getty ImagesLove listening to The Story of Money?

Democrats trail Republicans in cash by nine figures. The DNC reported $16 million on hand against $17.9 million in debt. The RNC reported $130 million. Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers follow the money filling the gap, and most of it comes from senior citizens. A Stanford researcher spent eight months preparing an investigation for The New York Times. Fact checkers cleared it. Lawyers cleared it. Then the Elias Law Group sent cease and desist letters on behalf of Democratic committees, and the paper walked away. What the research found: a spam text pipeline built to squeeze a captive pool of elderly donors. An 85 year old man in Oxford, Ohio gave 7,800 times, nearly $650,000, more than double the value of his house. A 90 year old woman in an Indiana senior living facility gave more than 25,000 times, $250,000 in total. Fewer than 1% of Democrat donors account for almost half of the $1.4 billion these PACs have raised since 2017. One network alone pulled in $390 million. Most of the money never reaches a candidate. It recycles back into the fundraising operation. Hakeem Jeffries shows the shift in one chart. In 2018, his average donor was 54 and 21% were 65 or older. This cycle, his average donor is 73 and 86% are senior citizens. Then the midterm ledger. Ripple and Coinbase sit at the top of $230 million in special interest spending, ahead of Big Tech and Wall Street. FanDuel and DraftKings make the top six. George Soros has given more than $102 million this year. AIPAC drew headlines for $30 million behind Haley Stevens in Michigan, while the money moving against her opponent's opponent stays far harder to trace: a $200,000 super PAC check from Abdul El-Sayed's father-in-law, an Islamic Society of North America figure; $25,000 from an Egyptian American activist sentenced to life in absentia; $115,000 tied to people affiliated with the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Saudi Arabia spent $92 million on Washington lobbying last year with roughly 148 registered foreign agents. Peter and Eric close on Sharia law, Jesse Watters' interview with El-Sayed, and whether the red-green alliance holds long enough to make Michigan competitive. (00:00) Cold open (00:31) Votes from the poor, money from the rich (02:33) The DNC has $16 million and $17.9 million in debt (04:43) Granny's Social Security check funds the campaign (06:34) The New York Times kills the story after legal threats (07:33) One donor, 7,800 gifts, $650,000 (09:30) Hakeem Jeffries' donor base ages 20 years in eight (12:27) Crypto, gambling and AIPAC lead the midterm spending (15:25) The influence money nobody tracks (20:14) CAIR cash, Jesse Watters, and the Sharia law question

My guest today is Neil Movva, founder of Sail. Sail is building what Neil calls a token factory, an inference company designed for a specific kind of future, one where AI agents run in the background for hours or days at a time rather than answering a human in real time. In that world, latency matters less and cost matters more, and Neil has built the whole company around driving the cost of a token as low as it can possibly go. What makes this conversation special is that it is one of the most detailed tours I have ever done through the full stack of intelligence, the software, the chips, and the power, and how all three connect. Along the way we cover the trade-off between speed and cost that lives inside every GPU, his scavenger strategy for buying the chips and power nobody else wants, his contrarian view on Nvidia, and why the premium the frontier labs charge for being three to six months ahead may not last. Please enjoy my conversation with Neil Movva.

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – And this isn't simply a problem for one political party. America's fiscal situation is worsening, and we all need to ask what the national debt means for ordinary Americans—not just Washington politicians, economists, or Wall Street, but for actual families trying to buy homes, finance cars, save for retirement, and build a future...
Wall Street has declared yet another “year of the stock picker.” Don and Tom examine Morningstar and SPIVA data showing how few active large-cap funds beat their benchmarks—and why high fees, trading costs, taxes, short horizons, and fierce competition keep the odds tilted toward low-cost diversification.Then Greg asks where stocks and bonds belong while he begins Roth conversions. The discussion covers asset location, small-cap value exposure, international diversification, tax brackets, IRMAA, and keeping the portfolio's overall risk level intact.Finally, they tackle an all-U.S. Roth for a 20-year-old, a couple's pre-retirement glide path, and a pricey Fidelity target-date fund that can be replaced inside a Roth without creating a tax bill.

Matthew McConaughey walked into Little Rock, and Natalie walked out with enough Hollywood stories to fill a book—and naturally, she put the book down! On this episode of Put Your Books Down, Natalie Sanderson Jones gives Angela Bingham the inside scoop on seeing McConaughey in person at the Arkansas Cinema Society's Filmland event. They dig into his career, from Dazed and Confused and Mud to A Time to Kill, Interstellar, The Wolf of Wall Street, Dallas Buyers Club, and True Detective. They unpack McConaughey's "launch pad lines," his one-take performances, his approach to rom-com characters, and the creative process behind some of his most memorable scenes. They also debate his Oscar-era career transformation, his friendship with filmmaker Jeff Nichols, Greenlights, and Natalie's favorite McConaughey movie, Killer Joe. Plus, they discuss what it felt like to see a major Hollywood star bring his stories and creative process to Little Rock. Expect plenty of movie nostalgia, celebrity culture, laughs, and the kind of pop culture deep dive that makes Put Your Books Down so much fun.
Walmart beat earnings expectations. Walmart beat revenue expectations. Walmart raised its full-year outlook. And then the stock got CRUSHED! So what happened? In today's episode, we're diving into a great viewer question about Walmart and whether the recent selloff was justified. But to really answer that question, we need to look beyond Walmart's earnings report and ask a much bigger question: Is the American consumer finally starting to crack? Walmart's latest quarter gave Wall Street plenty to think about. U.S. comparable sales grew just 2.6%, the slowest pace in six years and well below expectations. At the same time, the company's e-commerce business grew 24%, earnings beat expectations, and management actually raised its full-year outlook. So why did investors wipe more than $80 billion from Walmart's market value? Because the market isn't simply looking at what Walmart earned yesterday. It's trying to figure out what the consumer will do tomorrow. We'll dig into: Why Walmart fell despite beating earnings expectations The slowdown in comparable-store sales Whether Walmart's valuation had simply gotten too expensive What management's guidance tells us about the months ahead Why higher-income consumers continue migrating toward Walmart What gasoline, food prices and inflation are doing to household budgets Whether the weakness is Walmart-specific—or something much bigger Then we'll zoom out and look at the macro data. July U.S. retail sales declined 0.6% month over month, even though they remained 5% higher than a year earlier. Consumer confidence has also weakened, with Americans becoming increasingly pessimistic about future business conditions and employment. That's where this story gets interesting. Because the consumer isn't necessarily collapsing. There are conflicting signals everywhere. Credit-card spending remains relatively resilient. Walmart continues gaining customers. E-commerce is growing. Yet confidence is deteriorating, retail sales have softened, gasoline prices remain elevated, and consumers are becoming increasingly cautious about the future. So which side should traders believe? The consumer may not be broken—but the cracks are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. And remember, consumer spending represents roughly two-thirds of U.S. economic activity. If consumers begin pulling back, the impact doesn't stop at Walmart. It can eventually flow through to retail sales → corporate earnings → employment → economic growth → Federal Reserve policy → the stock market. That's why Walmart's 9% selloff deserves a much deeper look than simply saying, "They missed comparable-store sales."
