Podcast appearances and mentions of Warren Buffett

In this episode of the Independent Dealer Podcast, Jeff Watson and Luke Godwin are both in full tax season prep mode — and have a lot to say about it. Luke just walked the auction lanes for the first time since July 2020, bought ten cars in one day, and came back with real observations about condition reports, the professional premium, the buy-it-now revolution, and why simulcast bidding is a fundamentally different game than standing in the lane. Jeff is buying trucks and SUVs while gas prices are high and everyone else is chasing Teslas — and making the Warren Buffett case for why going contrary to the market right now is a conviction play, not a gamble. Plus Copart bought ACV, subprime lenders are stealing BHPH market share on affordability alone, and the guys are both headed to the Buy Here Pay Here Dealer Forum in Austin November 1st through 3rd.What You'll Learn:Why Luke went back to the physical auction for the first time in five years — what he did differently this time with condition reports and a pre-built short list — and why he bought ten cars in one day without blinkingWhy the professional premium makes simulcast bidding a losing game for dealers who know what they are looking at — and why buy-it-now and make-an-offer are the strategies that actually produce arbitrageWhy Copart buying ACV for $2 billion might be the best thing that ever happened to dealers trying to liquidate red-light non-runners — and what that acquisition really means for the wholesale market long termWhy Jeff is buying trucks and SUVs while gas prices are high and everyone else is scared of them — and how tripling his money on a $200,000 buy during the Katrina gas spike is the exact playbook he is running right nowWhy subprime lenders are taking BHPH market share and it has nothing to do with credit quality — it is entirely about payment affordability and term length — and what the average PTI number from a recent 20 group reveals about where the market actually isWhy EVs are still going two grand over MMR in the lanes while trucks and diesels are going for a song — and how to think about playing both sides of that market without getting caught holding the wrong inventory when the cycle turnsWhat Luke learned moderating a 20 group about the $500 monthly payment ceiling — and why the dealers running under that number are seeing meaningfully fewer charge-offsIf you are an independent or buy here pay here dealer trying to get your inventory right, your buying strategy locked in, and your business positioned for tax season before the window closes — this is the most tactical conversation you are going to find heading into Q4.Support the businesses that support the podcast:Buckeye Risk Services - Reinsurance and wealth strategies for independent dealers.https://theindependentdealer.com/buckeye/Blytz - BHPH payment processing with fast funding and text-to-pay.https://theindependentdealer.com/blytzpay/Ituran GPS - Asset protection and customer management for BHPH and retail dealers.https://theindependentdealer.com/ituran/Follow & Connect: Website: www.theindependentdealer.com Facebook Group: @independentautogroup Luke Godwin: @lukegodwin Jeff Watson: /sendtojeffwLike, subscribe, and share this with a dealer who needs to hear it.

Harry Markowitz called diversification "the only free lunch in finance." In this session, part of Paul's series for Next Gen Personal Finance educators, Paul Merriman explains what that means in practice, and why a well-diversified portfolio can help investors stay the course through good markets and bad.Paul covers the history and math behind diversification, from Don Quixote's "don't put all your eggs in one basket" to Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, and Sir John Templeton. He explains the three kinds of risk investors face (company, market, and asset class), and shows how the "lost decade" of 2000–2009 hit S&P 500 investors hard while more diversified portfolios kept growing.You'll also hear:How adding small "baby steps" of large cap value, small cap, and REITs added about 1% a year to returns since 1970Why the two-fund strategy (half S&P 500, half small cap value) may be less risky than it looksWhat a young investor putting away as little as $1,000 a year could build over a lifetimeA simple "ultimate buy and hold" for hands-off investors: a target date fund plus a slice of small cap valuePlus, Paul shares a free book from market historian Bill Bernstein.Watch on YouTube: youtu.be/MDqaIojI8TEFree book: If You Can: How Millennials Can Get Rich SlowlyTables and research: paulmerriman.com/data-tablesSend your questions to Paul at paul@paulmerriman.com (include "NGPF" in the subject line)

In this episode of the Matthews Mentality Podcast, Kyle Matthews sits down with Michael Brennan, Chairman and Managing Principal of Brennan Investment Group, co-founder and former CEO of First Industrial Realty Trust, and one of the most accomplished operators in industrial real estate.Mike's argument is that industrial is the rare property type technology has helped rather than hurt. E-commerce built the warehouses. Data centers absorb land. And robotics and automation are pulling manufacturing back onshore, because once low-cost labor stops being decisive there is less reason to be in Mexico or China. As he puts it, the best news for industrial may still be ahead.He has earned the right to a view. Mike bought his first building at 22, in October of 1979 — a six-flat and warehouse on the South Side of Chicago for $53,000, with effectively nothing down. He collected rents weekly and was his own janitor. Fifteen years later he helped take First Industrial Realty Trust public and delivered 40 consecutive quarters as its CEO. After leaving in 2008 over a disagreement with the board he started again, and Brennan Investment Group is now the second largest privately held industrial real estate company in the country.The conversation also covers how Brennan picks markets, why he watches tenants instead of forecasts, where he sees rates going, and how his company ended up as the single stock inside Warren Buffett's wallet.Topics covered in this episode:- Why industrial benefited from technology while office and retail suffered- Data centers, e-commerce, and the reshoring of American manufacturing- Buying his first building at 22 with effectively no money down- The Chicago fireman father who pointed him toward real estate- Taking First Industrial Realty Trust public in 1994- Delivering 40 straight quarters and the pressure that comes with it- Why he stepped down from First Industrial in 2008- Launching Brennan Investment Group at the bottom of the market- The five industrial facility types and how Brennan picks markets- Why he watches tenants rather than forecasts to choose locations- The single trait shared by every great professional he has worked with- Where he sees interest rates going and what would move them- The stock in Warren Buffett's wallet, and the phone call that followed- Sacrifice, work ethic, and what he would tell his 22-year-old selfMike also explains why he considers the company his only in trust, and why the point of building something is to hand it to the people who helped build it.Whether you're a commercial real estate professional, investor, entrepreneur, broker, or someone building a business over the long term, this conversation offers lessons from more than four decades in industrial real estate, investing, and leadership.Follow Michael Brennan:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelbrennanLearn More About Brennan Investment Group:Website: https://www.brennanllc.comFollow Kyle Matthews CEO:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kylematthewsceoTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kylematthewsceoX: https://x.com/kylematthewsceoLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kylematthewsceo00:00 Manufacturing and Industrial Innovation01:19 Meet Michael Brennan02:31 What Is Brennan Investment Group04:01 Five Facility Types Explained05:11 Key Markets and Strategy07:04 First Building at 2210:03 Finding and Financing the First Deal13:51 Early Career Work Ethic17:45 Meeting His Future Wife20:27 Jesuit Education and Character25:18 Scaling to First Industrial26:34 The RTC Days30:00 Going Public in 199436:02 Public vs Private Life38:26 Stepping Down as CEO41:04 Starting Brennan Investment Group44:21 Market Selection Strategy45:37 Learning From Tenants47:03 Scaling Brennan Investment Group49:20 Building the Team50:21 The Trait That Matters Most52:14 LP Appetite and Product Types54:05 Strategic Plan and Operations58:54 Real Estate Cycles01:04:30 Interest Rates and Technology01:07:09 Sacrifice and Work Ethic01:12:50 Building Brennan's Legacy01:14:27 His Daughter's Husband Joins01:16:21 Parental Influence and Motivation01:19:52 Character and Painful Moments01:20:48 Teaching Work Ethic01:22:07 Advice to His Younger Self01:24:16 Reading Recommendations01:26:01 The Stock in Warren Buffett's Wallet01:31:39 Closing Thoughts

Today, we're delighted to welcome Justin Donald, the founder of Lifestyle Investor and author of The Lifestyle Investor, as our guest! Justin has built a mastermind community where people come together to talk about investments, have fun, and enjoy life together. Stay tuned to hear about his fascinating entrepreneurial journey, learn more about the financial side of running a business, and find out how to save, invest, and project so you can decide whether to retire early or keep on doing the work you love. Justin's Journey Justin grew up in a middle-class family and paid for his own university education through various business ventures. In seventh grade, he started a small sales business selling newspaper and coupon book subscriptions, and by his senior year, he was recruiting and teaching others to do the same. He then joined Cutco, where he developed his sales skills and learned to handle rejection. He eventually built a large organization, and as his business grew, he realized that he was working long hours and that, even with a systematized business, too much still depended on him. So he started looking for a way to buy assets that could produce income without requiring his time, which led him into cash-flowing real estate, starting with mobile home parks. Over time, he invested in different types of real estate and cash-flowing businesses. He eventually created Lifestyle Investor to share the investment, tax strategy, estate planning, and other things he wished he had learned earlier. Build a Business That Doesn't Depend on You It's hard to build a business you can step away from when everything relies on you. So systematize your business, hire the right people, and have someone who can step in when needed. Buy Back Your Time If most of your net worth is tied up in your business, it means you're overconcentrated. Instead, put some of your money into cash flow-producing assets. That cash flow can initially cover your car payment or utilities and eventually grow large enough to cover your whole lifestyle. Financial Freedom Financial freedom is not just about reaching a particular net worth. It's about knowing what it costs you to live and creating enough passive income to cover it. Once you can cover all your expenses, you own your time. Then you can choose whether to continue with the work you're doing or retire early. Put Your Surplus to Work Once your lifestyle is covered, you can decide whether to spend your surplus income on improving your lifestyle or put it toward investments, wealth creation, and making an impact where it's needed. Know Your Numbers Regularly reviewing your financial dashboard can give entrepreneurs clarity and confidence, helping them feel more in control. Hire Well Don't keep people who do not fit the business culture or aren't doing a good job. Take the time to hire really good people, but avoid bloating the business by hiring more people than you actually need. Get Some Help You don't have to figure everything out alone; books, mentors, and peer groups can help entrepreneurs feel empowered and supported as they grow. Tax Code Understanding the tax code can help you take advantage of deductions and credits for activities the government wants to encourage, including business, small business, agriculture, housing, and energy. AI AI is here to stay, so the better you understand it, the more opportunities you will likely have to grow or protect your business or start another business that could be more lucrative than your current one. If you invest in early-stage AI companies, Justin suggests using your surplus income and keeping the allocation limited because it is not yet clear which companies will succeed. Bio: Justin Donald, called the "Warren Buffett of Lifestyle Investing," is the #1 bestselling author of The Lifestyle Investor: The 10 Commandments of Cash Flow Investing for Passive Income and Financial Freedom. As founder of The Lifestyle Investor, he specializes in low-risk cash flow investing, simplifying complex financial strategies, and structuring deals. A seasoned investor and entrepreneur, Justin has served as an SXSW investor judge and spoken at notable venues like Texas Ranger Stadium. Through his Lifestyle Investor Mastermind, podcast, and consulting program, Justin coaches entrepreneurs and executives to "create wealth without creating a job."

Nunca aposte contra a América! A frase é de Warren Buffett, um dos investidores mais conhecidos do mundo. Mas será que continua a fazer sentido?

E se estiverem, devemos os nossos investimentos?  No mais recente episódio do podcast MoneyBar, vamos perceber o que ainda faz sentido na frase de Warren Buffett, onde devemos ter cuidado e como pensar na exposição aos Estados Unidos.

From your first paycheck to investing, buying a home, building wealth, and planning your legacy, The Money School is the full course in plain English. Go check it out: https://nicolelapin.com/money-school-book Bill Ackman called the 2008 financial crisis years before Wall Street did, and he built one of the most legendary trades in modern investing along the way. Today, Nicole breaks down the money lessons from her sit-down with Bill that she can't stop thinking about, and why they matter for your portfolio even if you don't run a hedge fund. She unpacks the "durable compounder" philosophy Bill uses to find unkillable businesses, and how Warren Buffett has influenced his strategy. Then things get cautionary: Bill's blunt warning about borrowing against your stocks, the margin call math that can crush you, and his take on the one-day options trend flooding retail trading apps.

You made roughly thirty-five thousand decisions today, and the exhaustion you feel by three in the afternoon is not a productivity problem. It is decision fatigue. On DarrenDaily On-Demand, Darren Hardy lays out what he calls the One Decision Rule, the filter the most effective leaders use to make fewer choices dramatically while getting better results dramatically. He walks through how Warren Buffett applies a single investment philosophy hundreds of times over, what a founder who built a five hundred million dollar business told Darren when asked how he handles the daily decision load, and the question Steve Jobs used to cut a bloated product line down to what mattered. The power is not in the decision you make. It is in the thousands you never have to. Get more personal mentoring from Darren each day. Go to DarrenDaily at http://darrendaily.com/join to learn more.

Why do so many people keep starting over before anything has time to work?In this episode of Beyond the Letter, Will, Sammy, and Adam talk about consistency, leadership, success, discipline, mentorship, and what it actually takes to build something that lasts.The conversation starts with lessons Will picked up while spending time with Pastor Craig Groeschel and quickly expands into a bigger discussion about why highly effective leaders think differently, why routines matter, and why successful people often stay committed to the same thing much longer than everyone else.They also unpack a lesson attributed in the conversation to Warren Buffett: sometimes success requires being willing to “watch paint dry” — staying patient and consistent instead of constantly abandoning one opportunity for another.But the conversation goes deeper than personal success.The guys ask whether a leader has really built something healthy if everything depends on that leader's personality, charisma, or presence. Adam shares why discipleship and developing other leaders has become central to how he approaches ministry — and why multiplication matters more than simply building a platform around one person.Because sometimes the breakthrough isn't another opportunity.Sometimes you just need to stop starting over and stay long enough to grow.--Do you feel distant from God?Visit Faith at the Table to get your free resource today!https://tablefaith.com/--Connect with:Will Chung https://www.instagram.com/willkchung/Sammy Rodriguez https://www.instagram.com/samuelmrod/Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/--Join our study on the book of Acts on our Bible Club Podcast!https://www.youtube.com/@bibleclubpodcast--Don't forget to stay connected with us:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFgInstagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter--Have a question?

Today's update uncovers the dynamic world of juggling business and family life. As a parent of a twenty-one-month-old, I'm finding new ways to balance the chaos and freedom that come with running an immigration law firm. Business has been bustling, and with the advent of AI and technology, we're streamlining operations like never before. It's fascinating - our clients are happier as our processes become leaner, but change always comes with challenges as I recently had to let go of my first virtual assistant. This twist made us rethink our support structure, leading to an exciting opportunity to hire our first lawyer. It's a wild journey, adapting to these shifts, that brings both the good and the challenging - but the thrill of growth keeps us pushing forward. Now, let's talk about the “work smarter, not harder” mantra. With our legal workflows and cutting-edge tech, we're reducing layers of communication, giving clients direct access to their lawyer. This not only streamlines operations but also enhances client satisfaction—a win-win. We're embracing a strategy to hire slow but fire fast, ensuring the right talent comes on board. Excitement is in the air as we approach our third-round interviews with potential new hires and welcome a new salesperson to the team. These efforts point towards a bustling future - more work, more growth, more opportunities. Lastly, on a personal note, as the Canadian summer winds down, I'm squeezing in the last of the outdoor moments and reflecting on my reading adventures. Books by figures like Tim Grover and Warren Buffett have offered insights that align with the relentless spirit I aim to embody. Whether it's bounding through entrepreneurial roadblocks or navigating family fun, life remains an unpredictable dance. Join me regularly for updates from these ever-changing trenches of entrepreneurship - and don't forget to share this journey with friends who might appreciate the real-time lessons from this ever-evolving path. Until next time, keep pushing those boundaries!

In this Monday morning Neil tackles the ever-growing entrepreneurial to-do list and shares a ruthless but effective prioritization strategy inspired by Warren Buffett. Neil also breaks down why getting out of your own head by hiring a mentor can be the ultimate catalyst for saving time, making more money, and eliminating limiting beliefs. KEY TAKEAWAYS The Trap of the To-Do List: As a business owner, your task list will inevitably grow faster than you can complete it. Success comes from eliminating distractions, not just working faster. Warren Buffett's 5/25 Rule: Write down your top 25 priorities. Circle the absolute top 5. Cross out the remaining 20. These are not secondary goals; they are dangerous distractions and "thieves of time." The ROI of Mentorship: A strong business coach or mentor should always pay for themselves by helping you make more money, save time, solve problems, and reduce costs. The Train Platform Metaphor: When you are stuck in your own head, it is difficult to see your situation objectively. A mentor acts as the "unconnected person on the platform" who can clearly see which train is actually moving. ACTION STEPS Brain Dump: Grab a cup of tea, a pen, and paper. Write out absolutely every priority or project you currently have in your life. The Ruthless Cut: Brace yourself and circle only the top 5 items. Cross off everything else on the list, recognizing that they are merely opportunities to do less important things. Create Visual Reminders: Write your final top 5 on two index cards. Place one on the microwave and keep the other by your computer (or set it as your phone wallpaper) so you are constantly reminded of your focus. Seek Perspective: If you struggle to cut your list or find yourself caught in limiting beliefs, actively look into hiring a mentor to give you an objective lens and call you out on your own nonsense.

GMoney sits down with Austrian Bitcoiner and author Robin Seyr, a man who spent three solid years trying to prove Bitcoin was a scam before the evidence mugged him in a dark alley and orange-pilled him for good. It is a genuinely good redemption arc: a young Warren Buffett cash-flow guy who hated gold, ignored Austrian economics while literally studying economics in Austria, and eventually discovered that keeping an open mind is cheaper than staying wrong. Expect a friendly, wide-ranging chat on self-custody, property rights, why "your stocks aren't really yours," and how account freezes happen far beyond the third world. GMoney opens with his usual spicy take on the midterms, the Clarity Act, and why he thinks voting is a prayer to a fraudulent system. There's also a gloriously absurd Game-of-Thrones-meets-skincare ad break you have to hear to believe. Humble, thoughtful, and lightly combative in the best way.  

Carlos Feliciano de CAF Investments regresa a Café en Mano para explicar, paso a paso, cómo comenzar a construir tu retiro desde cero.¿Qué haces cuando recibes tu primer cheque? ¿Debes invertir aunque tengas deudas? ¿Cuánto necesitas en un fondo de emergencia? ¿Qué haces con el 401K de tu trabajo? ¿Qué significa que tu patrono haga “match”? ¿Cuál es la diferencia entre un IRA, un brokerage account y una cuenta de ahorro de alto rendimiento?En este episodio hablamos de cómo organizar tus finanzas antes de invertir, atacar tarjetas de crédito y préstamos de alto interés, crear un fondo de emergencia, aprovechar los beneficios de un plan de retiro y comenzar a entender inversiones como fondos, bonos y el S&P 500.

Driven by a desire to be a source of love and inspiration, Saul supports healthcare innovators whose work helps people live healthier, longer lives. He believes companies improving healthcare deserve to succeed and should not have to navigate growth alone. In this conversation, Saul shares his Leverage the 3 Forms of Marketing Framework—Owned (podcast, books, content), Earned (Stages, Testimonials), and Paid (Drive Traffic to What Converts). He explains why companies need a clear strategy and strong owned assets before pursuing earned exposure, and why paid marketing should amplify a funnel that already converts. Saul also discusses growing through primary research, thought leadership, podcasting, and conferences rather than relying on cold outreach. He shares why marketing metrics must connect to pipeline and revenue, and how sales blockers, opportunities, and needs can guide the creation of campaigns and sales enablement assets. —   Get Closer to Revenue with Saul Marquez Good day, dear listeners. Steve Preda here with The Management Blueprint Podcast, and my guest today is Saul Marquez, the Founder and CEO of Outcomes Rocket, a healthcare-exclusive marketing strategy and full-service marketing execution firm that helps medtech and healthtech companies accelerate their growth. Saul, welcome to the show.  Steve, such a pleasure to be here with you and your listeners. Thank you for the opportunity.  Well, I really have to get my A-game today because I rarely find a podcaster who’s recorded more episodes than I have. You beat that by a multiple of five or six. So definitely, I have to be on my best performance. But my first question is always the same, at least recently. What is your personal “Why,” and how are you manifesting it in your business?  My personal Why. I did some thinking. This was probably about 20 years ago. I did this program. I’ve always been very reflective, and I’m a big journaler. I love to write my thoughts. And I had the chance to, about 20 years ago, do a program called Date With Destiny. It’s a Tony Robbins program. It was a game changer for me. Five days with people that want to just crush it in life—personal, professional, financial, right? Like, they just want to do the best.  And so I had these five days to myself to really look inside, journal, question. And during that session, he has what he calls your primary question. You sort of look inside and you ask and you think about, like, what are those words, the stories that you tell yourself? And the primary question is that question that drives your life. And I was able to uncover that my primary question is, “I want to be a source of love and inspiration to myself and others.” And so I’m driven by love. I’m driven by inspiration. And so that’s my primary question and my primary Why. And then, when you think about it professionally, Steve, I’m very driven by mission.  So because of that, I started my career in medical devices around the same time that I actually did the seminar. And I’m driven by being able to help people live better lives and increase health span, not just lifespan. And that’s why the work that we do focuses around leaders innovating in the healthcare space. So very driven by those things.  But these are very noble ideas. And I mean, who wouldn’t want to live better, live longer? That’s an obvious need from everyone, really. And it’s a great thing if you can create an impact in that realm, that then you are creating something very valuable.  You are, Steve. And the data point here that I’ll share to pair the purposefulness, the data point, because we’re very data-driven as a business, and I’m a data geek, is that healthcare is essentially 18% of U.S. GDP, which represents $4.8 trillion annually. It’s larger than the German economy, and that’s just the U.S. alone. So whenever anybody says, “Oh, your niche is healthcare,” I say, “Well, I mean, my economy that I’m focused on is healthcare.” It’s huge.  Of course. Yeah.  Yeah.  Yeah. And probably, I mean, we can get into whether that’s not an overinflated number. Is it really that proportionate value? But if you think about it, the biggest resource is humans, then spending 18% of GDP on the biggest resource is not much.  It definitely isn’t. And then if you sort of zoom out and you take a look at globally, GDP focused on healthcare, it’s definitely higher than most first-world countries. And the outcomes aren’t commensurate to the investment. So the opportunity to improve access, affordability, better outcomes is a huge opportunity. And I'm in awe, and I have major respect for all the entrepreneurs and business leaders in this space that are looking to improve those metrics for us in healthcare, and that's why we love to stand behind them.Share on X  The stats are real. 50% of businesses fail within five years, and something above 80% fail within 10 years. And we believe at Outcomes Rocket that if you’re in the business of helping people live healthier, longer lives, you deserve to succeed, and we want to be behind you. And so that’s why we do what we do. The people doing the work, it’s hard, and they can’t do it alone.  Yeah. Love it. Just as an aside, whatever happened to this initiative of Warren Buffett and Jeff Bezos that they announced some years ago that they would reform the—  Yeah.  Healthcare?  Haven?  Yeah. I don’t know what it was called.  Yeah, Haven. So yeah, it was Berkshire Hathaway, Amazon, and JPMorgan. And it didn’t work. And it shows you that, like, even when the best of the best try to go do something about it, it doesn’t work. It’s hard. It’s hard work. Yeah. It’s hard work.  I bet it’s very hard. So hopefully AI will fix it. Let’s hope. What do you think about that?  That’s a great one, man. Like, AI definitely is not fixing it. However, properly deployed AI in solutions such as ambient scribing that helps physicians spend time with patients and no longer have to do what they call pajama time. Pajama time is the time that they spend at home after hours logging things into the medical record. Like, if you’re able to give a physician time back from not having to do that, and actually time back to look at you in the eyes when you’re in the waiting room, that’s awesome use of AI.  The use of AI in the elimination of waste is also beautiful. So I think as a tool, for sure, there’s huge promise in the use of AI for healthcare. Hell, in robotics, man. Like, I was just at a conference, Steve. I was in Miami. Where do you live, by the way?  I'm in Virginia.  Oh, you’re in Virginia? Cool. I’m in San Diego, where I’m literally at the SRS, so that’s the Society of Robotic Surgery. And I’m in the room, and there was a surgeon in Virginia, actually, and a surgeon in California, and the robots were operating on. It wasn’t a person. It was actually just like a simulation, but it was like a cadaver type of thing. And with AI, spatial AI, and the use of technology, these surgeons are operating in two different states on one person.  Remotely?  Yeah, remotely, and it’s working great through robotics. So all of this stuff, man, is coming together. Yesterday, I had a conversation with an entrepreneur in the materials and 3D printing space. She’s been in it for years, and just chatting with her was inspiring because what they could do now as far as custom-built plates for craniomaxillofacial or foot and ankle, they could literally print this stuff overnight on sheets, whereas it used to take months.  Like, we’re moving fast, and the innovations that are available. She called it patient matching, like the N of one. I mean, what’s possible today for a fraction of the cost than it used to be back then is just inspiring. And it’s happening right before us. So it’s a really great, great time to be alive.  And to stay alive.  And to stay alive. Exactly. Well said, my friend. Well said. Hey, you have to tell me about Summit OS and Fable, man. Like, I love what you have back there.  Well, I’ll tell you all about Summit OS on your podcast, but on this podcast, we talk about you. That’s fair. That’s fair.  I like that. I like that.  So let’s talk about frameworks because this podcast is a podcast of frameworks.  I love frameworks.  And I saw that you have the Discover, Define, Deliver, or something like that. But I’m looking for something more unique. Yeah. So something that maybe that’s more insightful or more unique or more you that you could share with the audience, which still can be explained in four to five steps or elements maximum to which give people an insight as to how to do things better.  Absolutely. So I think you and I are brothers from another mother, Steve, because I just love frameworks as well. So the 3D approach is easy, as you mentioned, right? But it is our approach and how we reproducibly bring about a program from start to finish for a client: Discover, Define, Deliver.  Underneath that, that is the hood to another framework, which when you start to deliver, the framework is essentially a four-part framework that starts with strategy, then it’s owned, earned, and paid, okay? And so those are the types of marketing that you could do. And you mentioned at the beginning we’re a marketing strategy and full-service execution agency, which essentially means we’re a revenue partner, we’re a commercialization partner.  So when you go to market with your value and your value proposition, it all starts with strategy. Strategy is so key. And one of the key quotes that we always share, Steve, is that, “Tactics are the noise you hear before the war is lost.” And I have to say, Steve, and everybody with us, in marketing, there are so many tactics. Too many. And guess what?  Today, with AI, there are so many tactics. I was just on a podcast a couple days ago where I made this connection. I hadn’t made the connection yet, but you have to have an AI strategy. If you don’t have an AI strategy, you become part of somebody else’s plan, and even worse, you become so fragmented, and it’s reflecting in your P&L. Like, you not having an AI strategy is showing up in your P&L in a big way. But anyway, back to the marketing thing and the framework. So start with the strategy.  Inside of your strategy are some very basic things, such as your personas, your ideal client personas, which is like firmographic, kind of number of employees, revenue, et cetera.Share on X Your core messaging. Your brand house essentially is your vision, your differentiation, and then your performance promise. It’s essentially like three pillars. That’s your strategy and your positioning, right? Then when you go to owned, earned, paid—and by the way, they’re in this order for a reason. It’s like algorithmic.  I liken it to the Rubik’s Cube. I was watching a YouTube video with my nine-year-old, and he was like, “Hey, Dad, figure out how to solve this.” I brought him a Rubik’s Cube from a conference. I watched this four-part video. The guy’s name is Cubastic. Have you ever watched it, Steve?  No.  No? Okay. Cubastic, literally, he’s a genius. Like, in four 10-minute videos, walks you through how to solve a Rubik’s Cube. And I can solve a Rubik’s Cube in less than two minutes and 30 seconds reproducibly now. It’s actually one of my conference tricks now, like whenever I go to a booth. And so I’m sitting there thinking, like, yes, no matter what, wherever the pieces are on the cube, if you use this algorithm, it's a four-part framework it gets you to the same end.Share on X  So I’m thinking, that’s exactly what we do. So the strategy, then owned, earned, paid, in that order. So owned is everything that’s on your website, what you put out on social. If you have a podcast like yours, Steve, this is owned. You own this. It’s the narrative that you own. Newsletters. Then you have earned. Why does this order matter? Well, if you try to do earned media, like if you hire a PR agency to do earned media, get you media attention, and you don’t have your strategy or your story straight, you’re going to confuse the market even more.  So that’s why earned is after owned. And with earned, it’s everything that you get. There’s a gentleman that put it really great. I have to get his name, but I got this from him. OPS, he calls it Other People’s Stages. And there’s digital and there’s physical stages. I’m on your digital stage. You’ve built this thing, and you’ve invited me, and I’m grateful for it. And by the way, I’m going to have you on mine. I want to learn about Summit OS, and I want to learn about your frameworks, and I want our audience to also learn about those.  So there’s an asset here, and we’re doing an exchange, which is beautiful, and we’re spreading ideas that make a difference. So in earned, you’re getting opportunities like on OPS, and those could also be written. So you get a byline article on a publication, right? Or you get invited to speak at a conference. That’s earned. And then there’s paid. And people ask me the question, like, “Hey, I’ve got these paid campaigns going on.” And I’m like, “Dude, you have nothing on your website that supports a narrative. Nobody is talking about you. Why would you even pay for anything?” I don’t care what it is.  Unless you got all those other things right, paid is there, like paid conferences, to get more people that’ll read the brochures that are owned, that’ll see the testimonials that are earned, that’ll convert to opportunities to check out your demo or sit with you to consider what you’re doing as a business to solve problems. And so the paid is essentially a way to increase traffic to an existing funnel that converts.  So essentially, this framework of strategy, owned, earned, paid is the framework of marketing that, if done right algorithmically, you will get results.Share on X And the result is the acceleration of someone, a business or a person, that goes from the awareness to consideration to decision funnel, which is essentially the business funnel for anyone, right? You accelerate the speed at which somebody learns about you and the problems you solve, considers you as a solution, and then makes a decision to work with you. So you’re not really selling a quick fix here, are you?  It’s not a quick fix. There are no quick fixes. You have to commit to the process and get it done.  Yeah, I like it. I mean, that makes complete sense. You have to have some assets that you start with that you own. I like the podcast. Okay, books can be like that. Yeah. Website, of course. Your frameworks are your asset, basically. And then you have to earn the right to actually share what you know. I love it. People validate, go through the stages, and get the testimonials, so you have to deliver. You have to prove that those assets are actually working, right?  Yes.  And then when you have a funnel, you already have a product that has proven itself, then it’s all about increasing the throughput. So paid is what? That’s right.  There is an amplifier.  That’s it. That’s it. Yeah. Yep. Yep.  It makes complete sense. It’s a very good framework. I’ve never thought about it this way, but it makes complete sense to me.  And it’s algorithmic. No matter where the pieces in the cube are, if you run it, you’re always going to end up with the same color on each side. It just works.  Yeah. So if you don’t have your assets, you haven’t earned your right, then you are just wasting your money on paid. Yeah.  Yeah. You’re wasting it. You are. Now, there’s a use case for paid to accelerate learnings. If you’re working on copy that you just need feedback on, there’s a use case to get mass targeted, like your ideal client looking at and interacting with it to understand how to better convert. That’s a use case, right? You’re after conversion optimization data. That’s fine, right? That’s fine. You could use paid to fine-tune conclusions as well.  Can you use paid for market research? Oh, yeah, for sure.  What you should be selling?  Yeah. You could definitely use paid for market research, for sure, if you have an end in mind. If your end in mind is to get more target, and then you just have to decide, right? Like, what payment model should you deploy? Should you put an ad out, or should you work with a partner that has access to a pool of qualified survey respondents? Would it be more efficient to just go through them, right? So it’s just a matter of what the end goal is.  That makes sense. So let me ask you a question, Saul. What drives growth in your business?  So a couple things. We do thought leadership, and so the thought leadership that we do is on healthcare marketing.Share on X And by the way, even though we focus on healthcare marketing, there’s fundamentals there that can apply to any business. So if you’re listening to this podcast and thinking, “I’m not healthcare,” there’s still fundamentals in the research that we do and the data that we mine that can help you.  So thought leadership based off primary research. So every quarter, we do two new reports. We conduct surveys focused on marketing strategies and tactics. Some of the latest ones we’ve done—we did one on podcasting, which is very interesting. We released this one about three weeks ago. This one’s gotten crazy media hits. Like, we’ve gotten over 30 media hits on this one.  PPC covered us, because it’s sexy still. Podcasts are sexy. But we had a lot of findings, and I’ll share the link with you. We don’t charge for our research. It’s free. We offer it to people so that they could do better marketing. Now, the thing that was most intriguing about that report for me, out of a lot of things, was that people are measuring the wrong thing as it relates to podcast marketing. You’ll see the results, but I remember these numbers. 57% are measuring engagement and downloads.  And that’s the wrong thing to measure. I’m going to segue to that later. The right thing to measure if you're a business is pipeline and revenue, not engagements and downloads.Share on X And the quote that I did on an article that I did recently is, “Downloads are vanity. Contacts and contracts are sanity.” Okay? You have to measure the right things. If you’re not a media company selling ads, who cares about downloads? So anyway, podcasts. We did a GTM report. We did one on public relations.  The other one that got a lot of really good traction earlier this year was one on chatbots. We analyzed over 5,700 citations to figure out what exactly are chatbots looking for. And we took a look at those 5,700 citations. It was a breakdown of Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok. And so we said, why and what do these value? It changed the way that we actually post content on our site and our clients’ sites. So that’s a really valuable report that I would literally just take from our site, download into Claude, and say, “Based off of this report from Outcomes Rocket, how should I change up my copy and how I lay out my posts?” Because that’s going to help you get more AI visibility.  We actually have been running those plays on clients, and our numbers on ChatGPT and Claude Search and Gemini Search have gone up for them, right? It’s working. So we do this thought leadership stuff because we don’t like to experiment with our clients’ money. We like to actually do stuff that works and actually figure things out. So that’s thought leadership. And then the podcast is another thing that we do. So I love podcasting, Steve, as we were talking about before we hit record. I get a chance to connect with awesome people. Like, I keep thinking about Summit OS.  I’m going to learn about it on my podcast. I guess I can’t learn it on this one, but I get to meet people like you. We get to connect with listeners, like the ones—like, you’re listening to this because you want to be better. You want to improve your business, and it’s a chance for me to connect with you right now. And I’m going to invite you to reach out to me if something that I said resonates with you, because that’s why we do this. So podcasts are one of our great funnels, Steve. We do podcasting, and we meet a lot of great friends and collaborators and partners and clients through podcasting. And also conferences. So conferences are another amplifier for us. So I would say thought leadership, research, podcasting, and conferences are the best ways for us to grow our business. That's how we do it.Share on X  That’s very insightful. What I’m not hearing here is cold calling, cold emailing, spamming people. You’re not doing any of that. What I’m hearing here is you are giving people great content. You’re teaching people, and you’re connecting with people.  Yes.  Because podcasts, I agree with you, it’s all about connecting with people at a deeper level around interesting topics. Conferences are the same thing. You create relationships, and then you can follow up with the people who you like at the conference and turn them into partners or clients or whatever.  Yeah.  I love it. Love that.  And Steve, you’re a really insightful guy. I’m glad you went to that point. And so I was sitting there literally probably like five months ago, and I was having a conversation with a client of ours, and she was like, “Man, these cold emails that we’re doing,” because they wanted to do them, “I mean, we’re seeing clicks, and we’re seeing opens, but we’re seeing no replies and no meetings booked.” And I said, “Because the way we have to do it is through content.” Yeah. You have to offer.  If you go fishing and your hook has no bait on it, you’re not going to catch any fish, unless a dumb fish runs into your hook. You don’t want that fish anyway, right? That’s what you’re going to catch. And so I said, because I am kind of a data geek, as I shared with you, I said, “I want to own this frustration that you have right now. And here’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to hire four lead gen agencies, and I’m going to put one on your account, I’m going to put two on our company, and I’m going to…” I had another client that I was having this conversation with. “I’m going to put another one on their account.” And so I paid for this research project.  I said, “I’m going to learn. I’m either going to learn how to do cold email really damn good because I’ve been not doing well at it.” Guess what? Secret. Nobody’s freaking doing good at it, okay? So, like, three months later, they failed miserably. Nobody was doing anything. So then I said, “Okay, let’s try this. Don’t ask for an appointment. I want you to, on this mass cold email project, I want to change the copy, and I want to put, ‘I want to invite you to my podcast.'” These are the same people that were not replying. Steve, I kid you not, man. Like, within one week, we had 13 people in line that want to talk to them. They’re thrilled. So my takeaway was, cool.  You know what? I’ve been playing too small in sort of these podcast outreaches. I mean, look, at the end of the day, it’s working, but I said, “I’m going to use this mass email failure and turn it into a success by inviting even more people.” So now what we’re doing is actually, with these pools of people that are interested, taking a look at webinars too, so one to few. One to one, one to few, so that we could serve the many.  And so from the ashes of those failures, not only did I feel better about myself, like, dude, nobody is winning at cold email marketing. Nobody. But if you’re thoughtful about it in the way that you do it and what you offer, it’s got to be content-forward. But anyway, I wanted to pick up on your insight there and share our experiment that we ran.  I think also that you and I have been doing podcasting a long time. It’s actually now a huge thing. When I started it, for the first five years, I had no idea what I was doing, why I was doing it. I enjoyed it.  Yeah.  But it wasn’t really a thing. And then now I realize that a lot of people are now starting to do podcasting, but when you have a brand-new podcast, people are going to be much more circumspect to engage with you because they assume it may just be a lead gen engine. But when you have an established podcast with a lot of episodes, then you are a legit media, and then they will engage.  So anyway, that’s an aside. So let me ask you this, Saul, because you’re really a systems thinker, and I like that. What is one thing that you are trying to actively figure out in your business right now?  Right now, the thing that I’m actively working to figure out is really scalability and processes around delivery. So we have a very talented team. We’re small but mighty. There’s 25 people on my team, right? What we do is very bespoke, and our clients really do love how we execute and get results for them. What I’m working on is to master our delivery model so that we are more in line with our clients’ business growth. A few of the things that we’re doing to that end is getting closer to revenue.  What I mean by that is, I don’t know about you, Steve, but my career was mostly in sales in medtech before starting the agency three years ago full-time. And I realized that whenever there was a crunch in a business, some of the first positions to go were marketing. But nobody ever got rid of salespeople. So I started having this conversation with my team about we have to get closer to revenue, right? Get closer to the revenue conversations, have clarity around the revenue conversations. Because if you're close to revenue and you're helping drive revenue, you become more indispensable.Share on X  We might get T-shirts. I was kidding around that our theme is indispensable, and we might get T-shirts that say “Indispensable.” But that’s what we’re working on right now, is solidifying and optimizing our delivery so that we are more indispensable and we can continue growing at the pace that we’ve been growing to the next goals in our year and then our five-year and our 10-year plan.  So essentially, are you saying that getting closer to revenue means getting more directly impacting revenue, more directly making sure that the client is increasing revenue? Because marketing, you can increase marketing, but if it doesn’t have an impact, then it’s going to go away. So is this what you mean?  Exactly.  Yeah.  Because again, back to the whole thing, the quote, right? Like, “Tactics are the noise you hear before the war is lost.” In marketing, it’s so easy to report on metrics. But if your metrics are not tied to revenue, good luck.  Yeah. And there are some people who are doing great marketing, but they are doing very poorly in converting their leads, and therefore they’re wasting the marketing, and they might fire the marketing agency because you don’t have any clients. But they actually are downstream screwing things up. And if you can help them there, then your marketing is going to be much more resilient.  Yeah. And we’re getting awesome feedback from our clients. They love this. They’re telling us what they need. Right now, where we’re at, it’s three. So we do our weekly reporting, right, to our clients on kind of like what we’re doing on campaigns and research projects and execution. And so in our weekly report-out, we are finalizing sort of these three slides that are essentially sales. Like, the first slide is essentially the top five opportunities for the month and where they’re at. Sales blockers, sales opportunities, and then big needs, like sales needs.  So when the sales call happens, we get a transcript from that call, and the marketer asks the questions about, “Hey, what’s holding you back? What could help you move these deals faster?” We get that transcript, and then we create sales enablement assets or landing pages or campaigns that help move those deals forward. And that’s been awesome. Like, being able to do that, that’s being close to revenue, and it’s something that we’re adapting and being responsive to client needs, and that’s sort of where it’s taken us recently.  Yeah, I love it. Blockers, opportunities, and needs. So how are needs different from resolving the blockers and capitalizing the opportunity? A lot of times there’s overlap there on both of those. Yeah. The overlap is that a blocker could pair with a need that we could solve. But sometimes a blocker could be out of our control. Like, hey, we were going to sell them our microscope, but the MRI machine broke, and now they need to spend money on the MRI machine. Sh*t. There’s nothing we could do. Like, we’re pushing this deal to next quarter. Now, you could try to do stuff, creative financing or stuff like that, and we could have those conversations, but there’s some things that are out of our control.  I wonder if it’s needs or wants. Because I was thinking that maybe the needs are what the client already articulated as something that they realize that they need in order to grow revenue, whereas the blockers and opportunities will give you ideas how you can grow it in ways that they have not thought about.  Yeah.  And therefore, maybe instead of needs, it is the wants, and the needs are the ones that you add based on the blockers and opportunities. I don’t know.  I like that. I like it. No, no, I like it. I like it. And is the idea that, like, wants is a little more creative and open?  No, wants is something that they already articulated themselves that they want to do because they realize that they need that. But they need to do other stuff that they haven’t realized, and that’s what you come up with based on the blockers and the opportunities.  Correct. Correct.  It’s the unidentified wants basically. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that. I like that. I’m going to give some thought to that, Steve.  Yeah.  I like the idea.  Thank you. Thanks for the opportunity to give you a framework, or a framework. I love it, man. I love it. I had to pull it out of you. I had to pull it out of you. Actually, I didn’t. I couldn’t do it. You gave it to me, right? No, no. When the student is ready, the teacher comes, right?  There you go. Well, in that case, the teacher was inspired by the student, but—  I love it.  Whatever.  I love it.  So you said it’s medtech and healthtech companies and payers also that you target? Medtech and healthtech. And the payers, we actually—our clients sell to payers. So we do have a payer podcast where we interview payers and vendors in the payer market. But yeah, our main clients are health technology. So think Software as a Service, AI companies in healthcare, and then medical technologies like medical devices, implantables, wearables, that kind of thing, FDA-approved devices and technologies. Software as a medical device, that’s the medtech space.  Yeah. Love it. So these are the ideal ones. So if these people are listening to this podcast or they are seeing you on social media, you’re promoting this podcast together, where should they go? What do you want them to check out? How can they connect with you?  Yeah. Thank you, Steve. If you’re in the healthcare space and you want to raise your marketing game, increase your revenue, increase awareness of what your company’s doing, we’d love to be a part of it, whether it be you consuming our content. We don’t expect anything from you. Our content is all on outcomesrocket.com. Or you could find me on LinkedIn. If something that I post or that we post inspires you or makes you think differently, we always invite a conversation to explore working together. And so, yeah, outcomesrocket.com and LinkedIn are the best ways to reach us.  Okay. Saul Marquez, the CEO of Outcomes Rocket, thanks for coming on the show and sharing your awesome frameworks.

In this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan welcomes Joel Litman back to the show. Joel is the founder and chief investment officer of our corporate affiliate Altimetry, where his team uses their Uniform Accounting system to look beyond the as-reported numbers in financial reports to see how companies are really performing.   Joel kicks things off by discussing the increases in the U.S. military budget and says that investors should be wary of which stocks they decide to buy. While overall military spending has gone up, certain branches like the Army have seen a decrease in spending, so it's vital to put your money to work in the right sector. Joel then shares that despite concerns over America's munitions being down and our supply-chain reliance on China, many companies are innovating to either break away completely by manufacturing what they need or substitute materials or products to achieve similar results. And Joel says that AI woes are overblown because of a few questionable stocks. (0:00)   Next, Joel explains why Altimetry uses Uniform Accounting and why serious accountants don't rely on generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") data alone. In short, GAAP accounting has become increasingly unreliable due to its many changes that misrepresent how a company is truly performing. Uniform Accounting cuts through the noise and creates a set standard to determine how well a business did during earnings season. And while the cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings ratio says the market is expensive, Joel says that metric is flawed and that the market is actually cheap. (17:54)   Finally, Joel shares the dynamics and problems with buying IPOs. The greatest issue is not having enough financial data and having to wait months before you know enough details to judge if a company is worth investing in. Joel then mentions one major defense business that he's interested in and believes will do well. But he says the better opportunities are in the smaller companies. These are cheaper stocks that have more room to grow and, therefore, have potential for better returns. And while these are the kind of businesses that Warren Buffett would own, investors don't have to compete with him to buy them. (40:08)

“Democracies don't die silently, sleepwalking. Democracies die by going through periods of pretty serious political violence.” — Robert Pape Forget all the long-term civil war scenarios of everyone from Kurt Andersen to Stephen Marche. Today's guest Robert Pape has spent the last thirty years at the University of Chicago studying political violence, and his warning is about the next six weeks rather than the next ten years. In his new book, Our Own Worst Enemies, Pape argues that tens of millions of Americans, on both left and right, now support political violence. When it comes to an American age of violent populism, his comparison is 1968 rather than 1861. What produced that era of assassinations, violent protest, and state violence, Pape argues, was rapid social change outpacing the political system. Back then, it was fueled by the gap between the Great Migration of African-Americans and the absence of political representation, and a military draft falling hardest on the unrepresented. And it only ended in the early Seventies, with the end of the draft in 1973 and the arrival of Black mayors and the Congressional Black Caucus. Today, rapid social change is once again outpacing the political and economic system. On the one hand, America is a country moving from white-majority to white-minority — with its non-Hispanic white population dropping from 76% in 1990 to 57% today. On the other, America is experiencing a dramatic economic transformation that has moved something like a tenth of American wealth from the bottom 90% to the top 1%. The details of Pape's observations are unsettling. Only one in ten of the 1,575 people prosecuted for the January 6 insurrection belonged to a militia, with 45% being doctors, lawyers, CEOs or government employees. While five to seven per cent of the George Floyd protests turned violent. But social media, he insists, is the gasoline, not the fire, of this crisis. So at least we can't blame the internet for everything. Pape does, however, offer a couple of glimmers of hope. Firstly, he reminds us that 70% of Americans still abhor political violence. Secondly, he notes that all gaps eventually close, and that we should expect American government to eventually address economic inequality. But that won't happen before the November 2026 midterms which, he warns, might be a return of the political violence of 1968. Five Takeaways •       Democracies Don't Sleepwalk. Pape's opening correction: the danger isn't a civil war five or ten years out, it's the next few months. Democracies don't die silently — they die through periods of serious political violence, and America is in one now. He calls it the era of violent populism, and what makes it different from the familiar extremism of recent decades is that political violence has moved from the fringe to the mainstream: tens of millions of Americans on both sides of the aisle now support it. His image is a layer cake — bottom-up violence from the left in the George Floyd protests, bottom-up violence from the right on January 6, and violence by the state, with a whole chapter on ICE and the two protesters killed in Minneapolis. Conversations about this era usually seize on one layer as though it were the whole thing. And the state violence isn't a few rogue agents: tens of millions of Americans support the president using force against Democratic protesters.•       The 1960s Rhyme. Not since the 1960s, Pape says, has political violence run this high — and that decade is the book's best evidence, because it both began and ended. The late sixties brought assassinations (King, Robert Kennedy), hundreds of Black riots across five years, anti-war violence and the Weather Underground's twenty bombings; Gallup surveys from the period, which Pape has collected, show millions supported it. Two social changes drove it: the Great Migration, the largest internal population movement in American history, which delivered Black populations to northern cities without political representation — by the mid-sixties Chicago had no Black mayor and two Black aldermen, the context for Malcolm X's “The Ballot or the Bullet” — and Vietnam, where the draft fell hardest on those same unrepresented Americans. And it ended when the gap closed: the draft was abolished in 1973, the Congressional Black Caucus formed, and Black mayors took office in Atlanta, Detroit and elsewhere.•       Two Social Changes. The present era began about ten years ago, and rests on two shifts. First, demography: America is moving from a white-majority to a white-minority democracy. It was 76% non-Hispanic white in 1990 and is 57% today, and the tipping point was 2012, the first year most children born were not non-Hispanic white — which is Pape's answer to why this didn't erupt under Obama, along with an immigration policy he rates the best of any modern president: keep it going, keep it moderate, deport the worst of the worst. Second, wealth: since the late 1980s roughly a tenth of American wealth has moved from the bottom 90% to the top 1%, producing what he calls a negative-sum society in which even a household on $100,000 loses ground year by year. Put the two together and you get the poisonous cocktail. Andrew's challenge — what about the internet? — got a flat answer: social media is gasoline on a fire, not the fire. The average January 6 defendant was 42, not 22.•       Not the Proud Boys. The book's most counterintuitive finding, drawn from research teams reading all 100,000 court documents behind the 1,575 January 6 prosecutions: only one in ten belonged to the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers or any militia — including one in ten of those who assaulted police. Who did storm the Capitol? Forty-five per cent were doctors, lawyers, CEOs, State Department employees and intelligence executives. Dentists, too, Andrew noted. And since Andrew told him the show's audience skews left, Pape supplied the other half of the ledger: five to seven per cent of the George Floyd protests turned violent — some six hundred protests across the top hundred cities, out of 28 million people — with looting and smash-and-grabs tracked separately; and the post-October 7 campus protests, which hit nearly a hundred universities and were, by his $300,000 survey of 5,000 undergraduates, about 75% from the left.•       The 70%. Then the hopeful half. Against the substantial minorities who support violence stands the 70% of Americans who abhor it, and who have never been mobilized — which is why he wrote the book for the mainstream rather than for the academy. His mechanism is unglamorous: politicians respond to squeaky wheels, and right now the squeaky wheels are billionaire donors on both sides. His example of what the 70% might demand is a flat tax above $30,000 with no deductions at all — Warren Buffett would stop paying less than his cleaner. (Andrew raised his University of Chicago colleague Eric Zwick, on the show last week: tax the three million millionaires too, not just the billionaires. “He's exactly right.”) And the danger ahead is specific: the November midterms, six weeks away, with gas at $5 in Chicago after the Iran crisis, and...

Wade opens a book study on The Richest Man in Babylon, a nearly hundred-year-old book his agency is reading together, and walks through the first half's core lessons on saving, protecting capital, and controlling your own banking function. He explains why high income rarely equals real financial control, why guarding against loss matters more than chasing returns, and how the ancient walls of Babylon still describe what it takes to build wealth that lasts. Key Takeaways Most people retain only about 5% of what they've earned over the last ten years, proof that high income alone doesn't build wealth. Pay yourself first and build your pool of capital before chasing investments. Savings is what creates liquidity and control. Guard your money from loss. Avoiding big losses matters more than chasing a high average rate of return. Someone is always the banker in your life. Ask who owns the capital, who controls the terms, and who receives the interest. Liquidity turns life's inevitable events into opportunities instead of disasters, and wealth that lasts requires passing down wisdom, not just dollars.

[00:03:00 - 00:04:00] Wade unpacks "part of all you earn is yours to keep" and why income isn't really yours until it stops moving. [00:06:00 - 00:07:00] Wade compares becoming a capital provider, like Warren Buffett and major insurers, to becoming your own source of liquidity. [00:09:00 - 00:10:00] Wade breaks down the math showing how a 50 percent loss requires a 100 percent gain just to break even. [00:12:00 - 00:13:00] Wade tells the story of Babylon's walls and how the city grew rich by protecting what it had built. [00:14:00 - 00:15:00] Wade introduces Mathon the gold lender and asks who owns the capital, controls the terms, and receives the interest in your life. [00:17:00 - 00:18:00] Wade explains why the goddess of good luck favors those who prepared with liquidity long before opportunity showed up. [00:19:00 - 00:20:00] Wade recalls his father's life insurance being canceled six months before he died, and what that meant for the family. [00:20:00 - 00:22:00] Wade contrasts the Rockefellers and the Vanderbilts to show why transferring wisdom matters as much as transferring dollars.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Monday!! First, the big news: WE ARE OFFICIALLY A DEAR MEDIA PRODUCTION!! (yay) If you're new here from the Dear Media world: hi!! We're Alex and Harrison, married, two kids (Tate and Rocky), and the “third-wheel” (lovingly) is Jules our producer!!! Welcome, we're so happy you're here. And if you're not new here, the short story is - nothing is changing!!!  Then we get into the episode with a confession: we are officially the parents who throw the over-the-top birthday parties. The exact parents we judged before we had kids. We get into why we've fully made peace with it (the joy is REA), plus the undisputed best time slot for a toddler birthday party: 5 to 7 PM. Everyone's out of nap territory, people are always looking for something to do during this dead zone, and dinner is handled. We will be taking no further questions at this time hahaha And the rest: Harrison is teetotaling 13 out of 14 days “per week” (his math, not ours lol), the Tweet of the Week we're carrying into fall ("the curse of no discipline is every year looks the same"), and the TikTok discourse we had to weigh in on: is going to your friend's birthday party optional?! Plus a Rocky update: he's officially in the nanny share and he LOVES it. Then book club: Princess Diana's brother wrote a memoir about her (Swan Song, out tomorrow!!), and Harrison's corner: Warren Buffett officially stepped down from Berkshire Hathaway (we think it might be because he's 96 but idk you tell us lol). The math will break your brain: $1,000 invested with him in 1965 is worth almost $60 MILLION today. We get into what made him one of one, whether anyone can do it again, and Alex's hot take that Paris Hilton is the Warren Buffett of influencing (out of respect for Mr. Buffett, Harrison disagrees LOL). We close with the dog corner: two studies say dogs are genuinely good for your brain (dog owners, your pet might be syncing to YOUR stress levels??), our updated family dog rules (short version: no diapers in the house), and the internet's current debate: can you bring an iced coffee to a job interview?!

The autumn wind is blowing in and it's taking interest rates higher as the Federal Reserve boosted the overnight lending rate by a quarter point last week, as expected. Investors may be getting used to higher for longer interest rates and inflation as the stock market has been running in place for more than one month. It's the bond market that everyone is focused on, and it's the focus of Robin Wigglesworth's new book, “A Fabulous Debt”. He joins The Express with the history of bonds and why they are so pivotal in the geopolitical tensions that define 2026.

Warren Buffett spent sixty years proving that patience pays, which is awkward news for everyone selling a six-week millionaire course.In this episode of Mark and Pete, we celebrate Warren Buffett's investment philosophy, his business ethos and the unfashionable possibility that building something worthwhile might take a while. Quite a while, actually. You may need to sit down.As Buffett steps back from leading Berkshire Hathaway, we look at what made the “Oracle of Omaha” so extraordinary. There are the investment returns, obviously. Those rather startling numbers. But behind them sits an approach to business that sounds almost disappointingly sensible: understand what you own, pay a reasonable price, choose people you trust and give good decisions time to work.Then, apparently, resist the temptation to fiddle with everything.We explore Buffett's relationship with Benjamin Graham, the influential value investor and author of The Intelligent Investor. Graham taught him to look beyond the share price and examine the underlying business, with a margin of safety for when things go wrong. Because they do. Even when somebody has produced a very reassuring spreadsheet.Charlie Munger helped Buffett develop that approach further, recognising the advantages of buying excellent businesses at sensible prices. Something can be cheap for an excellent reason, as anyone who has bought a suspiciously affordable second-hand car will understand.There is plenty here about long-term investing, compound growth and Berkshire Hathaway's success. The Coca-Cola investment gives us a particularly striking example of what can happen when a business keeps earning and an investor keeps waiting. Though waiting, we should say, involves rather more judgement than simply forgetting your password.We also discuss Buffett's famously simple working habits and limited enthusiasm for email. He was never entirely without technology, but he does offer an interesting challenge to the idea that being constantly connected means being useful. Some of us have answered seventeen messages before breakfast and achieved absolutely nothing. Efficiently.For Mark and Pete, long-term thinking has long been something of a motto. Buffett gives us a chance to ask what that means beyond investing: in work, relationships, family life and the things we hope to leave behind.Our Christian perspective comes through Proverbs 13:11: “Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.” Patience, honesty, stewardship and generosity matter. They remain worth practising even if your portfolio is mostly a pension statement you are avoiding opening.Join us for a warm, occasionally wandering conversation about Warren Buffett, Benjamin Graham, value investing and the business principles behind an extraordinary career.Getting rich slowly may lack excitement. There are worse difficulties to have.

Story of the Week (DR):Anthropic, OpenAI CEOs call for slowdown in AI developmentAnthropic CEO calls to slow the race toward AI ‘superintelligence,' and grants outside evaluators permanent access . Here's what Amodei is suggesting:Each US AI company grants ongoing access to embedded third-party evaluators to check compliance with safety commitments, report incidents, ensure new AI models are not misaligned.All companies in democratic countries building frontier AI models to establish common safety standards as well as limits on the rate of unchecked AI progress.The world's democratic AI powers would coordinate with autocracies – notably China – to control the race. Amodei suggested a baby step could be a narrow agreement prohibiting obviously dangerous uses of AI, such as for the production of biological weapons.PROAltman Matches Anthropic's AI Auditor Pledge While Musk Offers Three-Word Slowdown Backing: 'Dario is right.' Palantir's Alex Karp is calling for AI lab nationalization and criminal liability: Alex Karp said AI builders should face civil and criminal liability for "not being responsible" as the industry debate over AI safety intensifiesMicrosoft AI CEO Agrees: AI Is Getting Dangerous and Needs to Be ControlledAI 'kill switch' may need to be mandatory, Anthropic co-founder [Jack Clark] tells BBCBernie Sanders' AI Bill Threatens 20 Years in Prison for Artificial Superintelligence DevelopersThe legislation would also allow companies to be shut down and create a federal agency to police frontier AI systems.The Ban Artificial Superintelligence Act would outlaw AI systems built to exceed human intelligence.For context, the bill was introduced the same week OpenAI rolled out its GPT-6 Astra model, described by the company as a 'generational leap'. Sanders' office also pointed to an incident from July. It said more than 1,000 OpenAI agents accessed the internet independently, exchanged messages with each other, and got round their own safety restrictions. That lapse, the office said, took engineers nearly two weeks to notice.The bill defines 'superintelligence' to include systems that can match or beat human cognitive performance. It also covers systems that resist shutdown commands, carry out unauthorised cyberattacks, or attempt to overthrow a government.Individual engineers, researchers or executives who breach the ban could face up to 20 years in federal prison. Sanders' office says that term is broadly comparable to penalties for illegally building a nuclear weapon.CONGang of 3: Zuckerberg, Musk, and Huang Call Trump to Oppose AI RegulationMark Zuckerberg says AI doesn't need an industry-wide slowdown because market forces and competition will push companies to make their models safeMark Zuckerberg says AI labs can slow down on their own when safety demands itOpenAI's CFO [Sarah Friar] says the company will pace AI development if safety requires it HYPOCRITE?Greg Brockman says OpenAI has already slowed cutting-edge AI developments over safety concerns HYPOCRITE?Jamie Dimon on AI oversight: 'It should be light touch'Trump downplays warnings of AI risks, citing rivalry with ChinaTrump says a strong, smart president is the only "guardrail" AI needsTrump responds to rising AI safety concerns, insists tech will be 'more good than bad'Trump's 'Whoever Wins AI Wins' Line Draws Scrutiny as He Downplays AI Extinction Warnings From ExpertsTrump called Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang mid-interview to rip AI doomerism: 'The robots will not be taking over'OpenAI boss [Sam Altman] says world 'right to be afraid' but should trust AI firms HYPOCRITE?Sam Altman says some AI accidents are 'unavoidable'Really?

Rules Limiting GHG Emissions from Power Plants MM The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced on Monday the repeal of a series of Biden-era rules aimed at significantly reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from fossil fuel-based power plants, one of the main sources of the U.S.' carbon footprint.In addition to finalizing the repeal of the rules, the EPA also announced a proposal to rescind the 2015 Greenhouse Gas Findings for Fossil Fuel-Fired Power Plants, effectively making it much more difficult for the agency to reinstitute GHG limiting rules for the fossil fuel-fired power generation sector under future administrations.Trump's ‘largest deregulatory action ever' in the power sector will keep old coal plants online longer to fuel the AI boomHAPPY CEOs:Fossil-Fuel Power Generators & UtilitiesJim Burke (Vistra Corp) & Robert Gaudette (NRG Energy): Large merchant power producers with extensive natural gas and coal fleets that avoid capital-intensive carbon capture retrofits or premature unit closures.Harry Sideris (Duke Energy), Christopher Womack (Southern Company) & Bill Fehrman (American Electric Power): Regulated utilities operating major coal and gas generation networks across the Midwest and Southeast, relieving pressure to retire units ahead of schedule.Mark Hewett (Berkshire Hathaway Energy) & Mike Skaggs (Tennessee Valley Authority): Power providers with heavy baseload fossil capacity that avoid major compliance expenditures.Coal Producers & Mining OperationsJames Grech (Peabody Energy): The nation's largest coal miner, benefiting directly from extended power plant lifespans and higher domestic thermal coal demand.Grech has maintained a vocal public relationship with Trump, presenting him with a bronze award honoring him as the "Undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal."Joe Craft III (Alliance Resource Partners) & Paul Lang (Arch Resources): Key thermal coal suppliers to Midwestern and Eastern power plants that no longer face strict 2030s retirement timelines.Craft donated over $1 million to Trump's 2017 Inaugural Committee and millions more to pro-Trump Super PACs.Trump subsequently appointed Craft's wife, Kelly Craft, to high-level diplomatic posts as U.S. Ambassador to Canada and later U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.Natural Gas Producers & Midstream InfrastructureToby Rice (EQT Corporation) & Tom Jorden (Coterra Energy): Top domestic natural gas producers positioned to supply fuel for unconstrained new gas-fired turbine generation.Chad Zamarin (The Williams Companies) & Kimberly Dang (Kinder Morgan): Midstream pipeline giants transporting natural gas to power plants, benefiting from sustained pipeline throughput and expanded gas generation hookups.EPA immediately sued over plans to repeal climate rules for power plantsPublic health groups warn EPA rule will cost Americans billions in health bills.The repeal risks leaving the country's single largest source of industrial climate pollution unchecked.SEC proxy rule changes could end 92 years of shareholder protections MMThe Securities and Exchange Commission has put forward one of the most far-reaching corporate governance proposals in decades, moving to scrap the federal rule that has forced public companies to include shareholder proposals in their proxy materials since 1934.The SEC proxy rule changes would rescind Rule 14a-8 entirely and hand authority over shareholder proposals back to state law and individual company charters, according to the agency's announcement.A companion proposal would amend Rule 14a-4(c) to give companies more flexibility and shareholders more control over discretionary proxy voting.The SEC's broader push to update its rules for current market practice and technology also targets several older paperwork requirements that the agency views as outdated.Eliminate the requirement that companies deliver an annual report to security holders.Eliminate the delivery deadline when documents are incorporated by reference into a proxy statement.Eliminate the requirement and the ability to submit Notices of Exempt Solicitation.Shorten the minimum broker search period from 20 business days to five business days.Starbucks Makes Major DEI U-Turn, Agrees to End Race and Sex-Based Hiring Preferences NationwideStarbucks is ending race- and sex-based hiring goals and preferences across its US operations under a nationwide settlement with Florida, agreeing to pay $1 million and submit to four years of annual compliance reviews.Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier's office said the agreement applies to Starbucks operations nationwide, rather than only its stores in Florida.Under the settlement, Starbucks agreed to comply with the Florida Civil Rights Act, including its restrictions on race- and sex-based goals, quotas, and preferences in hiring, promotions, pay, executive compensation, mentorship programmes, supplier selection, and board composition.Starbucks also agreed not to participate in organisations that require an increase in the racial diversity of its board of directors. Its chief legal officer must submit annual certifications confirming continued compliance for four years. The company will pay $1 million to the Florida Department of Legal Affairs to reimburse the state for time, expenses, and costs associated with the case.Accenture to Pay $25 Million to Settle Latest U.S. DOJ Anti-DEI CaseWarren Buffett is stepping down as Berkshire Hathaway's chairmanBuffett, 96, becomes chairman emeritus effective immediately while his son Howard assumes the role under a long-standing succession planWho Is Howie Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway's New Chairman?
