Send us a textA public inquiry into Lumi's £2bn government bailout exposes Pierpoint's role in the disastrous IPO, where Robert is sent to testify in front of a UK select committee. The episode lays bare how firms protect themselves in crises: lawyers serve the institution, not employees, and blame is carefully redirected toward anyone expendable enough to absorb the fallout.The real financial bombshell, however, happens quietly back on the trading floor. Sweetpea's risk model shows that Pierpoint's entire IPO pipeline is collapsing amid an ESG downturn is actually far worse than anticipated due to prop bets the company took to invest in ESG companies using large tranches of debt that are now coming due. We get into whether this is allowed post–financial crisis (short answer no) BUT the show isn't wrong that this is what people have been worried about in "private credit" now that banks can no longer make these prop bets.The episode positions Pierpoint as something far more fragile than it appears — an institution facing a potential Lehman-style reckoning not from reckless traders (see the prior episode), but from bad investments made by Pierpoint iteself. “Company Man” may be light on deal mechanics, but it sets the stage for the next episode which is arguably one of our favroites. Learn more about 9fin HERE Shop our Self Paced Courses: Investment Banking & Private Equity Fundamentals HEREFixed Income Sales & Trading HERE Wealthfront.com/wss.

Send us a textIn this episode we discuss Season 3, Episode 4: "White Mischief", one of the strongest (and darkest) episodes of the series thus far.  What starts as a Christmas episode turns into a brutal examination of luck, power, and the lies we tell ourselves and others. At the end of the day, this episode forces the question: is all trading gambling? If not, what's the difference? At the center is Rishi, running rogue risk around a fictionalized portrayal of Liz Truss' brief (yet calamitous) stint as PM. Rishi is facing both a Sterling crisis and a private gambling addiction that has him massively indebted to loan sharks. As the markets spin out, the episode draws sharp parallels between trading and gambling, confidence and recklessness, and asks an uncomfortable question about whether the system can tell the difference between skill and luck...and if it even cares to.We also dig into the real-world economic backdrop that inspired the episode, the meaning behind the title “White Mischief,” and why this hour says far more about modern Britain, masculinity, and institutional power than it does about markets alone.It's an episode about winning without learning, consequences that vanish when money is made, and a cycle that feels impossible to break.Learn more about 9fin HERE Shop our Self Paced Courses: Investment Banking & Private Equity Fundamentals HEREFixed Income Sales & Trading HERE Wealthfront.com/wss.

Send us a textIn this episode we sit down with Liz Myers, Global Chair of Investment Banking and Capital Markets at J.P. Morgan for an Equity Capital Markets deep dive. We get into IPOs vs follow-ons, primary vs secondary proceeds (and why sponsor-backed IPOs often use proceeds differently), convertibles and the reality of price discovery. Liz breaks down the modern IPO process — from test-the-waters investor education to the order book build — and explains the newer concepts that didn't exist until recently like cornerstone investors, why they matter, and how banks think about allocating “precious” shares to create the right long-term shareholder base. We also get into market timing (their internal “IPO dashboard”), what makes the window feel open vs shut, and why the market loves certainty more than anything.Liz Myers, Global Chair of Investment Banking and Capital Markets, J.P. MorganLiz Myers is Global Chair of Investment Banking and Capital Markets at J.P. Morgan, where she has worked for over 30 years.

Send us a text0-21:30: PSKY / WBD Deal breakdown21:30-51:08 The Fed Breakdown51:08-56:27: Donor Approved Funds for CharityIn this episode, Kristen and Jen continue to unpack Warner Brothers Discover bidding war from what the media is constantly getting wrong including missing the non apples to apples bids from PSKY and NFLX as well as why Paramount's bid looks nothign like traditional M&A and is basically a straight-up leveraged buyout. They also break down the question everyone's up in arms about: who is in control when this deal goes through.Then Jen shifts gears into the Fed…and why the headlines are missing what actually matters. Yes, there was a 25bp rate cut — but the bigger story is the Fed's new plan to support funding markets through reserve management purchases (RMPs) and short-dated Treasury buying. Jen translates the Fed's most painfully dry policy language into plain English, explains what “ample reserves” really means, and walks through why the Fed is stepping in now — with historical parallels to 2019's repo market stress and the post-2008 era of balance-sheet whiplash. The takeaway: this isn't a red-alert crisis moment, but it is a meaningful shift in liquidity support… and it sets up some very interesting asymmetry heading into 2026.Finally, they end with a practical PSA that could save high earners real money: a tax change coming in 2026 (and why there's urgency before year-end) makes donor-advised funds newly relevant if you give to charity consistently. They explain how “bunching” donations can potentially maximize deductibility — and how donating appreciated stock can help you avoid capital gains taxes while still supporting the causes you care about. Not tax advice (seriously: ask your CPA), but if you're philanthropic and market-savvy, this is one of those “tiny line in a bill, huge impact” moments you don't want to miss.Want to get an intense education in the world of corporate finance typically reserved for investment bankers and private equity professionals?

Send us a textWe are back from hiatus and diving straight into the high-stakes world of Industry Season 3, Episode 3, "It." Join former Morgan Stanley investment bankers Jen and Kristen as we decode the finance behind the drama at the COP climate conference in Switzerland. In this episode, we break down the hypocrisy of ESG investing, the regulatory "Chinese Wall" between equity research and investment banking, and why pressuring an analyst for a buy rating isn't just frowned upon—it's illegal. We also analyze the mechanics of Petra and Harper's rogue attempt to launch a new "Leviathan" fund, fact-checking everything from non-compete clauses to Harper's strategic lie about being a former "trader" rather than a salesperson.Beyond the balance sheets, we dig into the psychological horror of the episode—from Eric's glitter-covered spiral into a midlife crisis to the trauma-bonding between Yasmin and Henry Muck. We discuss the nuances of "dad trauma," the reality of IPO lockup periods, and the cringe-worthy dynamics of pitching a non-ESG fund at a climate summit. We also explore the literary references to King Lear and Leviathan that foreshadow the power struggle between Harper, Petra, and the wealthy Otto Mostyn.Finally, we debate the double meaning of the episode title "It"—is it a reference to Stephen King horror, or simply who has the "It factor" to survive on Wall Street? We wrap up by delivering our Bullish and Bearish takes on the cast, deciding who is playing the long game and who is about to fold. Whether you're here for the technical breakdown of hedge fund marketing or the messy workplace drama, we've got the skinny on what's real and what's just Hollywood.Learn more about 9fin HERE Shop our Self Paced Courses: Investment Banking & Private Equity Fundamentals HEREFixed Income Sales & Trading HERE Wealthfront.com/wss.

Send us a textSarah Kapnick literally trained under John Nash at Princeton, went from structuring catastrophe bonds at Goldman during Hurricane Katrina, to serving as Chief Scientist at NOAA, and is now Global Head of Climate Advisory at JPMorgan. She's part mathematician, part climate scientist, part Wall Street insider – and the godmother of The Wall Street Skinny, the person who first convinced Jen to go into finance. This interview has been two and a half years in the making, and it's easily one of the most full-circle, “how is this one person real?” conversations we've ever had.We get into the math of predicting the future: how fluid dynamics and game theory show up in Black-Scholes, what “1-in-100 year events” actually mean over a 30-year mortgage, and why climate risk isn't a political side quest but a massive driver of returns, insurance pricing, and portfolio construction. Sarah explains cat bonds in plain English, walks through physical vs. transition risk, and connects wildfires, hurricanes, nuclear, fusion, and geothermal to the way capital is being allocated right now. If you care about making or losing money over the next few decades, this is not optional listening.We also talk mentorship, careers, and what it looks like to build a non-linear, insanely high-impact path across science, government, and Wall Street while raising a young family. Sarah shares how she decides when to leave a prestigious job, what she tells the next generation of math and science nerds curious about finance, and how she translates hardcore climate science for CEOs, investors, and ultra-high-net-worth clients. Even if you think “climate isn't for me,” this episode will change how you think about risk, opportunity, and the future.Learn more about 9fin HERE Shop our Self Paced Courses: Investment Banking & Private Equity Fundamentals HEREFixed Income Sales & Trading HERE Wealthfront.com/wss.

Send us a textThis week Kristen and Jen break down the blockbuster Netflix–Warner Bros. deal. Netflix has agreed to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery's studio and streaming assets — HBO, Max, Warner Bros. Studios, and its iconic content library — for $27.75 per share in a cash and stock deal. But before the deal closes, Warner Bros. will spin off its cable networks (CNN, TBS, Discovery Channel, and more) into a separate company. That means Netflix is only buying the good stuff — no legacy cable attached.This episode dives into the complex mechanics behind the transaction: how the spin-off works, what a "collar" means in M&A land, and why this $72 billion equity offer came with a surprisingly low premium. Also: there was a whole bidding war behind the scenes. Paramount / Skydance wanted to buy the entire company. Comcast and Netflix were just after the streaming assets and studio business. Why did Netflix win? What happens next? And will this deal reshape the future of streaming as we know it? This episode is a full M&A teach-in wrapped in an entertainment headline — and yes, we also talk about Industry coming back soon.Learn more about 9fin HEREShop our Self Paced Courses: Investment Banking & Private Equity Fundamentals HEREFixed Income Sales & Trading HERE Wealthfront.com/wss.

Dr. Glen Jeffery, PhD, is a professor of neuroscience at University College London and a leading expert on how different colors (wavelengths) of light impact cellular, organ and overall health. He explains that long-wavelength light (red, near-infrared and infrared) can enter the body and brain to enhance mitochondrial function and thereby improve metabolism, eyesight, blood glucose regulation, mood, hormones and more. We also discuss how short-wavelength light from LED bulbs can impair mitochondrial health and why balanced, full-spectrum light is essential for health. Dr. Jeffery shares simple yet powerful ways to use natural and artificial light sources to enhance your metabolic function, eyesight and longevity.

Send us a textIn this episode of The Skinny on Wall Street, Kristen and Jen unpack the story stirring up markets: Michael Burry's latest warning that Big Tech is overstating earnings by extending the “useful life” assumptions on their GPUs. The conversation becomes a real-time teach-in on depreciation, useful life estimates, GAAP vs. tax depreciation, and how a small shift in an accounting estimate can meaningfully inflate EPS—especially for mega-cap tech stocks that trade heavily on P/E multiples. Kristen walks through exactly how depreciation affects valuation, and why some metrics (like EBITDA) and methodologies (like the DCF) are untouched by the choice of useful life. The big question the duo wrestle with: is Burry identifying a real risk, or is this a nothingburger amplified by market paranoia? From there, Jen shifts to the fixed income landscape ahead of the December Fed meeting—one the central bank must navigate without key data (payrolls and CPI) that won't arrive until after the rate decision. She breaks down how Powell is managing optionality near the end of his term, how the market is pricing a December cut, and what a likely dovish successor (Kevin Hassett) could mean for rates in 2026. They also dig into credit markets: years of high coupons have fueled relentless reinvestment demand, but an uptick in issuance—especially from AI-heavy hyperscalers—may finally rebalance supply and demand. The duo look abroad as well, analyzing the UK's newly announced national property tax and what it signals about global fiscal stress.The episode wraps with big updates from The Wall Street Skinny: the long-awaited launch of their Financial Modeling Course, the continued fixed income course presale, and new January 2026 office hours, plus the return date for HBO's Industry (January 11!). To get 25% off all our self paced courses, use code BLACKFRIDAY25 at checkout!Learn more about 9fin HERE Shop our Self Paced Courses: Investment Banking & Private Equity Fundamentals HEREFixed Income Sales & Trading HERE Wealthfront.com/wss.

Send us a textOn this episode, we're talking about AI, the Fed, crypto, and housing --- and how those stories all suddenly collided this week. Nvidia's huge earnings beat briefly sent markets higher, but the rally fizzled fast as investors grew more anxious about a potential AI bubble. We walk through why valuations increasingly assume massive job displacement and unprecedented productivity gains, and why Oracle has become the market's “AI downside” hedge as its stock price collapses and its credit spreads blow out.Zooming out to the macro picture: delayed economic data finally hit, with job growth surprising to the upside, suggesting the Fed might not be delivering a December cut after all. Combine that with softening AI sentiment, and we're seeing a classic risk-off move: equities selling and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin showing the most stress. Even though headline data looks fine, the real-world "vibes" (sorry, couldn't help ourselves) feel recessionary, with people struggling to find jobs while prices (especially housing prices) remain painfully high.That leads us into the debate over 50-year mortgages. We explain why extending mortgages just means paying interest for decades, barely building equity, and ultimately bidding home prices even higher. The idea of a transferable 50-year mortgage makes even LESS sense. It breaks basic collateral math and would require higher rates, not lower, to actually facilitate implementation. Sign up for our FREE LIVE Excel & Financial Modeling Masterclass here: https://courses.thewallstreetskinny.com/Nov2025-FMmasterclass-registration-page-1Learn more about 9fin HERE Shop our Self Paced Courses: Investment Banking & Private Equity Fundamentals HEREFixed Income Sales & Trading HERE Wealthfront.com/wss.

Send us a textWe're almost 200 episodes in, and we've been waiting for the perfect guest to come on to explain distressed debt investing... the wait is over. In this episode, we're joined by Michael Gatto, who quite literally wrote the book on credit with The Credit Investor's Handbook, and serves as the head of private side investing (private markets) at Silver Point, a $41 billion credit asset management firm. With private credit dominating headlines for all the wrong reasons - fraud, liquidations like Tri-Color, and restructurings like First Brands - we use this conversation to ask: what actually happens when private credit deals go sideways?Michael walks us through the world of distressed debt investing: what it is, how it differs from value equity and private equity, and why phrases like “liability management exercises” are just a sanitized way to describe creditor-on-creditor violence. We talk through the mechanics of LMEs, getting J-screwed, up-tiering, CLOs, covenant-lite loans, and how “too much money chasing too few deals” set the stage for today's blow-ups. He also explains why the press loves calling distressed investors vultures, why he thinks they're often actually the heroes of the story, and how distressed funds can end up owning companies outright through bankruptcy.We also zoom out to the bigger picture: where we are in the credit cycle, why private credit has grown so explosively since 2008, and why Michael thinks some funds are absolutely going to blow up—but the system won't. He shares red flags from situations like First Brands and why the current ratio is a joke. Along the way, we get Michael's incredible career story (including how he negotiated his way into Goldman via a temp agency), his philosophy on learning, mentorship, and networking, and practical advice for anyone curious about private credit, distressed debt, or building a career in credit investing.Learn more about 9fin HERE Shop our Self Paced Courses: Investment Banking & Private Equity Fundamentals HEREFixed Income Sales & Trading HERE Wealthfront.com/wss.

Andrew Humberman BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Andrew Huberman has remained at the forefront of both neuroscience discourse and the booming male wellness industry in recent days, pushing headlines and stirring conversation well beyond academic circles. El País highlights how Huberman's persona and advice have become emblematic of the so-called 'Huberman husbands' phenomenon, positioning him as the most famous influencer within the “bro science” movement and dubbing him the “Goop for men.” The profile underscores Huberman's knack for blending hard science with Silicon Valley-style self-optimization, from daily light exposure rituals to cold plunges, all delivered via his massively popular Huberman Lab podcast, which boasts over 140 million views on YouTube and regular number-one rankings on podcast charts.Recent podcast episodes have featured wide-ranging topics, including a deep dive into how breathing impacts mental and physical performance and the neurobiology behind forming thoughts and focus. His interview with Dr. Jennifer Groh explored how the brain encodes perceptions and how practical strategies can improve attention and happiness. As usual, the show has been peppered with the latest research as well as clear protocols listeners can immediately apply. The Huberman Lab podcast continues to drop new episodes every Monday and Thursday, regularly trended and meticulously sponsored, with companies like Wealthfront, AG1, and LMNT heavily featured, and Huberman providing paid testimonials on air. According to disclosures, Huberman's association with sponsors like Wealthfront now carries added scrutiny, given the size of his listening audience and the potential conflicts of interest.Business activity surrounding Huberman remains robust, evidenced by the continued expansion of the Huberman Lab brand and the pre-launch push for his new book, Protocols, positioning itself as an essential guide to brain and body optimization. On social media, the term “Huberman husbands” is gaining traction, both as a badge of biohacker credibility and a point of pop-cultural debate about masculinity, wellness, and science, as noted by El País and further underscored by The New York Times coverage referenced in recent features.There have been no major public controversies or confirmed negative stories tied to Andrew Huberman this week. However, as with all high-profile wellness figures, discussions about the scientific rigor and broader societal impact of some recommendations persist, reflecting the mounting influence and ongoing scrutiny associated with his rise. Overall, his biographical trajectory in recent days is most notable for the mainstreaming of his brand and philosophy, reflecting both commercial reach and cultural cachet rarely seen for a neuroscientist.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

A strategic acquirer is a company buying to advance its own roadmap, distribution, or capabilities—unlike financial buyers (private equity, family offices) who buy primarily for cash flow. To a strategic, value may sit in what you've built, not what you've earned.  Chris Hutchins' story makes the point. He co-founded Milk, acquired by Google, and later founded Grove, acquired by Wealthfront. Both saw assets they could plug in—product, team, IP—even when revenue and EBITDA weren't impressive.  If you want a strategic acquirer to pay for what you've built rather than how much money you make, this episode of Built to Sell Radio is for you. You'll discover how to:  • Define and prioritize the assets a strategic may value now (team, product, customer list, roadmap, even your lease) • Reframe your pitch so a distribution-rich buyer may see an immediate lift from your assets • Run a fast, momentum-led process that invites quick noes and surfaces real interest • Split assets across buyers when it improves the overall outcome • Protect employees and customers while you move quickly toward a decision  If a strategic exit is on your radar, this playbook helps you create options when EBITDA won't carry the deal.

My guest is Dr. Jennifer Groh, PhD, professor of psychology and neuroscience at Duke University. She explains how our brain encodes sights and sounds and integrates them so we can navigate and understand the world around us. She explains what thoughts really are and how what you focus on determines your thoughts, not just in that moment but your future thoughts too. We discuss this in the context of how to improve your level of focus and happiness and how to complete tasks and task-switch more effectively. We also discuss how you can rewire the neural circuits that underlie your default patterns of thinking and attention.

Send us a textWe are thrilled to present a SPECIAL EDITION of The Wall Street Skinny. This episode, recorded live at Carlyle's NYC offices, is a candid interview with one of our most impressive (yet shockingly down-to-earth) guests to-date: Shane Clifford, Carlyle's Head of Global Wealth.  If you're wondering how “Global Wealth” fits into one of the world's most prestigious private equity mega funds, you're not alone. We set the record straight about what Global Wealth is, how it relates to the rest of the business, and how it is reshaping the investing landscape.  Historically, access to private markets was typically reserved for institutional investors. Today, Carlyle is opening select private market capabilities to the wealth channel, all while raising the bar on transparency and education.We discuss the shifting market environment, explain why the term “alternatives” has become anachronistic, and dig into what “responsible democratization” really requires: specific fund structures (think evergreen/perpetual vs. interval funds), liquidity education, disclosure, and portfolio construction that behaves differently than it does in the public markets. Shane explains areas which areas he thinks may see the most growth in the near term, and we dig into what allowing individuals to access the private capital markets via defined contribution plans (i.e., 401(k) investments) *might* mean for everyday investors should those changes come to pass.This is also a “Distribution 101” playbook, where we learn the ropes of a career path that wasn't even an option to us during our time in the industry. Finally, Shane shares practical career and storytelling advice for emerging talent (hello, Gen Z), why persistence beats perfect résumés, and how social media is changing distribution. Bonus: a peek at Carlyle × Oracle Red Bull Racing, plus a stat we loved: nearly 50% of assets at Carlyle are managed by female investors. If you advise clients or want to work in the private capital ecosystem, take note. Carlyle is changing how the world accesses the private markets, and this episode will change how you think about private capital altogether.The information provided in this podcast is for informational and educational purposes only and should not be construed as investment, financial, legal, or tax advice. Shop our Self Paced Courses: Investment Banking & Private Equity Fundamentals HEREFixed Income Sales & Trading HERE Wealthfront.com/wss.

She explains how hearing works and why hearing loss—affecting over 1.5 billion people—impacts people of all ages. We discuss how hearing loss impairs focus and increases the risk of cognitive decline, as well as the role of menopause and other biological milestones in hearing health. We share science-backed protocols to protect your hearing and highlight risks to avoid. And we discuss tinnitus—its causes and treatment options.

Investors have a false sense of safety in the stock market A psychologist by the name of Gerald Wilde came up with the term homeostatic years ago and I believe this is totally relevant in today's market. It essentially means that when the environment comes to feel safer, people's behavior becomes riskier. A great example he used was that people will probably drive faster in a big SUV than in a little tin can of a car. Relating it to today's market, investors seem to feel safer because of the long bull market. As the market continues to rise in the longer term, investors' appetite for risk increases. They do not realize that their behavior is risky because they have a false sense that the market will not drop. While the risk of their investments is high, because of the confirmation day after day of the market going up, they don't feel that they are taking any risk. From my perspective, the risk just seems like it continues to climb as people chase quick returns. AS an example, out of 672 launches of new exchange-traded funds so far this year, according to FactSet, 28% are tied to a single stock and 25% are leveraged and at least three seek to double the daily gains or losses of cryptocurrencies! You may not want to believe it, but there is a lot of risk in markets today and this could all end very poorly for those gambling in the market. Ultimately, there are two different types of investors, one is the long-term investor who is investing to build long-term wealth, while the other investor is in it for entertainment and they enjoy the roller coaster ride with the thrill of gains and the pain of the losses. This is a lot like the addiction that gamblers get. The difference is that long-term investors have odds of nearly 100% when it comes to making money over the long-term. Unfortunately, for those who do a lot of trading and take the higher risk road, well the odds of making money over the long term is closer to zero. If you check the prices of your stocks, I would say much more than a few times a year, you're probably in it for the entertainment and will probably make poor emotional decisions when difficult times come, and they will!   IPOs look hot, don't touch them, you'll get burned! So far in 2025 there have been over 150 IPOs which if you're not familiar with the term, it stands for initial public offering. These IPOs have raised about $29 billion so far this year and it is a nice increase in the total number of IPOs when compared to recent years. At this time last year, just 99 IPOs had occurred and in 2023 it was even worse at 76. The exciting news reads “first day gains are averaging 26%, which is the best since 2020”, but it's important to understand that those eye popping first day gains are not based off the first public trade but rather are gains on shares that were issued prior to heading to the market. Unfortunately, you as an investor have little to no chance of getting those shares as you generally see these go to your institutional investors and high net worth clients of Fidelity, Charles Schwab and other big firms. So, if you can't get the shares before they begin trading is it worth riding the bandwagon? I'm going to explain why the answer is a solid no. First off look at an ETF called Renaissance IPO (IPO). Back in 2021 it hit a high around $75 a share and by 2023 it fell to about $25 a share. With the recent frenzy in IPOs, it has climbed back above 50, but that is still a disappointing return to say the least. Also, this means any investors who bought it in 2021 through 2022 are still underwater. There is generally a ton of volatility around these trades considering when companies do an initial public offering, they're only releasing 15 to 20% of their equity many times and they often come with an initial lockup period of around 180 days, which really reduces the number of shares that are trading. Also, make no mistake that the investment bank that is issuing those shares has an obligation to try to get the opening price as high as possible to get full value for their clients. If it's an oversubscribed IPO, the demand will be higher than the supply, and the price will rise. Unfortunately, that means the company left money on the table that they could've put in their pockets rather than letting investors benefit from those gains. I believe investing in IPOs is a high-risk game, not to be played with by the average investor. A good example is Newsmax, which was a hot IPO with an issuing price of $10 a share that very quickly went to $265, as of today it is trading around $13 a share. A lot of people have lost their shirts, and I doubt they will get them back. To me the safer play to benefit from the increased number of IPOs is the banks handling this process considering they should be seeing a nice increase in profits. This would include your large players like JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs. As of now there are other highly anticipated IPOs that could occur over the next year with names like robo-advisor Wealthfront, crypto firm Grayscale Investments, financial-technology firm Stripe, and sports apparel and betting company Fanatics all potentially hitting the public market.    What's going on with the real estate market? This week we got both existing and new home sales for the month of August and there was a stark difference in the reports. The headline number for new home sales showed an increase of 15.4% compared to last year, while existing home sales were up just 1.8% over that timeframe. The first important consideration here is new home sales can be extremely volatile on a month-to-month basis, and they make up a smaller portion of overall sales. Pre-pandemic, new home sales were normally around 10% of total sales, but with the limited listings in recent years they have been closer to 30% of all sales. One other reason for the large difference is how the reports are calculated. New home sales look at people that were out shopping and signing deals in August, while existing home sales look at closings in the month, which means these were deals that were signed in June or July. Interest rates may have played a factor here as rates for the 30-year fixed mortgage were around 6.7-6.8% in June and July vs around 6.5-6.6% in August. This also doesn't include the fact that many homebuilders offer lower rates to entice buyers. The supply of new homes also looks much better for buyers considering there was a 7.4-month supply in August and that was down from a nine-month supply in July. This compares to a 4.6-month supply for existing homes in the month of August. Homebuilders have a much larger need to move homes quickly as many of them don't want them sitting on their balance sheet as that can create risks. This compares to the average home seller that may not have a need to sell their home and when looking at the crazy market from just a couple years ago, I believe many of them have unrealistic expectations for how much their homes are worth and how fast the property will sell. Homes are staying on the market longer at around 31 days on average, which compares to 26 days last year. These factors have led sellers to either pull their listing or even delay listing in the first place. One similarity between the two reports was the annual price appreciation with the median price on existing home sales climbing 2% to $422,600 and the price on new home sales climbing 1.9% to $413,500. These high prices and higher mortgage rates have continued to impact the first-time buyer as their share in the existing home sale market was near historical lows at 28%. With everything considered here I still believe the housing market will remain on a slow upward trajectory with limited supply continuing to battle against affordability concerns.   Financial Planning: Insurance Vs Investments When building a financial plan, it's important to recognize that investments and insurance serve very different purposes. Insurance is designed to protect against loss. Life insurance provides for your family if you pass away, health insurance shields you from crushing medical bills, and auto insurance protects you financially from accidents or damage. You pay a known cost, the premium, to avoid a potentially devastating unknown cost, which makes insurance a valuable safety net. Investments, on the other hand, are meant to grow wealth and produce income. Stocks, bonds, and real estate help your money work for you overtime. While they can experience short-term volatility and uncertainty, most high-quality investments are built on solid foundations and have historically rewarded patience; those who can tolerate the ups and downs are almost guaranteed to come out ahead in the long run. The confusion comes when insurance products, like permanent life policies or annuities, are marketed as investments. While they may promise guarantees or cash value, they usually come with high fees, low returns, limited flexibility, and lots of fine print, making them poor substitutes for true investments. That doesn't mean insurance is bad, it simply means it works best when used for protection, not growth. The healthiest financial plans keep the roles clear: use insurance to protect and use investments to build wealth. Mixing the two often results in an expensive compromise that doesn't perform well on either front.   Companies Discussed: Compass, Inc. (COMP), PACCAR Inc. (PCAR) & Amazon, Inc. (AMZN)

Americans give nearly half a trillion dollars to charity each year—over 2% of GDP. Yet despite this massive scale, charitable giving remains stuck in the past, dominated by donor-advised funds marketed exclusively to the wealthy and clunky processes that make generosity harder than it should be. Today I'm joined by Adam Nash, co-founder and CEO of Daffy, a modern platform that's democratizing charitable giving through technology. Adam brings decades of experience building consumer fintech products as the former CEO of Wealthfront and in leadership roles at LinkedIn, Dropbox, and eBay. During the pandemic, he recognized that while fintech had revolutionized how we save and invest, charitable giving had been largely untouched by innovation. We'll explore why Adam left Wealthfront to tackle charitable giving, how Daffy's membership-based model differs from traditional approaches, and why he believes donor-advised funds will soon be as common as 401ks. Adam will share insights on tax-advantaged giving as more people hold appreciated assets like stock and crypto, how Daffy is incorporating AI, and why they've opened their APIs to partners like Betterment and Robinhood.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, my guest is Dr. Anna Lembke, MD, Chief of the Stanford Addiction Medicine Dual Diagnosis Clinic at Stanford University School of Medicine. We discuss how dopamine drives reward, motivation and addictive behaviors. Dr. Lembke explains the concept of the pleasure-pain balance of dopamine and how this cycle plays a key role in the development and persistence of addiction.

My guest is Dr. Mary-Frances O'Connor, PhD, Professor of Clinical Psychology and Psychiatry at the University of Arizona and a world expert on the science of grief and loss. We discuss what happens in the brain and body when we grieve, the role of dopamine and yearning in the grieving process, the health risks of getting stuck at particular stages of grief and how to move through loss while also deeply honoring the person, animal or thing that is no longer with us. Dr. O'Connor explains that grief involves cycling back and forth between protest and despair (often guilt and anger too) and explains science-supported ways to move through that process in the healthiest possible way. Everyone experiences grief and loss at some point. Dr. O'Connor provides valuable knowledge and tools to help you navigate grief under any circumstance.
