Today we're talking about Alzheimer's disease. Did you know that the odds of getting Alzheimer's by age 90 is 1 in 2? And the odds by age 60 are 1 in 10? That's scary stuff.

A couple of weeks ago, I said that the biggest scam in investing today is ESG (environmental, social, governance), mutual funds and ETFs that invest with a filter so that they only invest in companies that pay attention to ESG values. I said that a lot of people have invested in ESG, and so that's pretty cool, right? You can align your investments with your values. But I also said that that's noth...

Today's podcast is eye-opening. It's shocking to know that so many people making six-figure salaries are still living paycheck to paycheck. And it's all because of the cost of living in certain cities. I see this all the time. People are so focused on following their passions and pursuing certain careers without really considering the financial implications. Sure, it's great to do what you love, b...

A new poll conducted by The Wall Street Journal in collaboration with the University of Chicago found that 56% of Americans believe that a four-year degree is no longer worth the cost.

The poll also found that only 44% of women, regardless of political affiliation, believe that college is worth it. College enroll...

I want to talk to you about Dan Snyder, the owner of the Washington Commanders, and the actions he has taken during his 24-year tenure.

The world of cryptocurrency is rapidly evolving, and I'm worried that the United States is getting left behind. Here in the United States, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) seems more interested in enforcing crypto regulations than fostering innovation. Their proposed rule to effectively ban advisors from recommending or investing client assets in crypto is worrying, and it seems like w...

This research has already led to discoveries in cystic...

We've talked a lot this week about how you're going to live for a long time. That's a good thing because your kids are counting on it.

Yesterday I said here on the podcast that federal banking regulators have been trying to kill crypto companies by denying them access to banks.
