Back in H-town. In this 5th consecutive solo episode, I continue the discussion on money & investing. But first—I share feedback on the recent blog article: “Why Nice Guys Finish Last: An Open Letter to Men.” (Mens’ responses were positive; womens’ mixed.) I also explore investment strategies for high net worth individuals, thoughts on IPOs,
Dear Men— We’ve all heard nice guys finish last. It’s true. Nice guys get taken advantage of. Recall how many of your buddies have been left by a woman because “he’s too nice” vs “too mean.” Not sure the latter ever happens. I’m not encouraging you to be an a-hole. Rather I’m saying it’s better
Still in Prague. In this 4th consecutive solo episode, I dive into the P Diddy controversy and share what I believe is going on right now. Although I’ve been a rap enthusiast most of my life, I’ve never been a fan of the Diddler. Nope. I liked Mase. I also talk about spending money on
When I was in Zambia, one kid was like my shadow. If I turned around, his eyes were locked on me. I felt like Michael Jordan (maybe sans charisma and all the talent). That’s because when I was 12 years old and MJ was on WGN, I’d stop and watch his every move, even yelling

In this solo episode, I share the story of our unexpected journey from Berchtesgaden, Germany, to Budapest, Hungary. Our month-long stay in Berchtesgaden was cut short. But it turned into an adventurous detour due to a problem with our Airbnb. We “trained” 8 hours east. From Germany – Austria – Hungary, finally settling in my
Stop dealing with people as you wish they were. Or how you think they should be. You’re wasting precious time. You can only control your own internal state—not the misdeeds and misspoken words of others. People will act in ways you can’t believe. Say the dumbest things with regularlty.

Tupac once said twelve shots couldn’t stop him, he took it and smiled. The problem for Pac was he didn’t know what was coming next. I know the feeling. Things can go from bad to worse real fast. The past year’s been a nightmare for your newly-humbled host with an old podcast. I feel like I
In this final episode of 2023, I share personal stories from Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, comment on others’ ‘Best of’ Lists & Quotes, and share an update on the near-future of the podcast.
