Wealth Formula Podcast

Bitcoin has been making headlines again as it surged past the $100,000 mark. If you've been following this podcast, you'll know I've been talking about Bitcoin since late 2016. Back then, its price hovered around $3,000 to $4,000, and that's when I truly started to believe in its potential. But what is Bitcoin, anyway? At its core, it's a type of digital money that doesn't rely on banks or governm...

The idea of packing up and moving to another country might sound radical at first. But for many Americans, it's becoming a logical next step.

Let's start with the financial benefits. In countries like Mexico, Cost...

I have to admit, I can't wait to see what Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy do with their proposed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Beyond potentially creating a big pump for Elon's beloved crypto favorite, Doge Coin, the idea has generated significant discussion about its potential impact on the federal government. As co-leaders of this initiative under President-elect Trump's administrati...

It's easy to see when a market is frothy—when prices seem unstoppable and everyone is piling in. But recognizing the bottom of a market? That's harder. But it's important to recognize because it's at the bottom, not the top, where the greatest opportunities for profit lie. Right now, we're at one of those moments, and the need to act is critical if you want to successfully invest in real estate ov...

Despite widespread expectations that she'd be at least slightly ahead going into the election, the reality turned out starkly different: she got crushed.

When it comes to building wealth, I'm all about putting money into assets that work for you. Gold has been performing great this year and it has got a certain allure – it's stable, it's shiny, and it's stood the test of time as a "safe haven." But, to me, gold's appeal has some limitations. It doesn't generate income or adapt to a growing economy. It's a static asset – just sitting there, relying...

Gold bugs love to float the idea of bringing back the gold standard, tying the value of the U.S. dollar to a fixed amount of gold. On the surface, it might sound like a great way to return to "sound money." But if you dig a little deeper, it's full of problems that would likely take us backward rather than forward. First, let's talk about deflation, one of the scariest economic forces out there. E...
