    AI & Investing: What Most Investors Get Wrong — Noah Solomon (Part 2)

    Is AI truly automated, autopilot, set-it-and-forget-it investing? In Part 2 of our conversation with Noah Solomon, CIO of Outcome Metric Asset Management, we delve into what truly is machine-driven investing: where models fail, why markets mislead, and how human behavior quietly sabotages even the smartest algorithms. We dig into: • Why AI can “overfit” its way into bad decisions • How Wall Street tortures data until it confesses • Passive investing vs. closet indexing (and why fees matter) • Why Bitcoin behaves like a risk asset—not a hedge • Are AI stocks in a bubble… or just early? • Why timing markets is the wrong question—and what actually works • The future of wealth management: human, machine, or hybrid If Part 1 was how models are built, Part 2 is why discipline matters more than prediction.

    Why AI Can Beat Human Investors — Noah Solomon (Part 1)

    AI has been shaping markets for decades—long before it became a buzzword.

  3. The Biggest AI Lie: Why “Intelligence” Is the Wrong Word

    The Biggest AI Lie: Why “Intelligence” Is the Wrong Word

    Artificial intelligence isn’t thinking. It isn’t conscious. And it isn’t coming for everyone’s job. In this episode of TapHere, Corey Goldman sits down with Professor Avi Goldfarb (University of Toronto, Rotman School of Management, co-author of Prediction Machines and Power and Prediction) to dismantle the biggest myths about AI — and explain what’s really happening beneath the hype. Goldfarb reframes AI as a prediction machine: a tool that fills in missing information cheaply and at scale. That one shift, he argues, explains everything — from productivity gains and wage changes to why some jobs disappear while others become more valuable. We cover: • Why AI is more like electricity than the internet • Why productivity revolutions take decades, not months • Which jobs are substitutes for AI — and which are complements • Why “judgment” becomes the most valuable human skill • Who actually captures the economic upside of AI • Why headlines about mass job loss miss the point If you want to understand AI through economics, not fear, this conversation is your unfair advantage. 🎙️ TapHere — clear conversations on money, markets, and the future of technology.

    Private Credit’s $3 Trillion Boom — How AI Is Rewriting Wall Street Underwriting

    Private credit has exploded from a niche corner of finance into a $3+ trillion global market — and most of it is still run on PDFs, emails, and human stamina. In this episode of TapHere, Corey Goldman sits down with Karthik Namgyal, Co-CEO and Co-Founder of CredCore, to unpack why private credit is being called “the GenAI moment for Wall Street” — and how AI is finally modernizing one of the most document-heavy, high-stakes markets in finance. Karthik explains: • Why private credit has ballooned from ~$400B to over $3T in a decade • How trillion-dollar credit markets still rely on manual underwriting • Why general-purpose AI fails in credit analysis • How CredCore built a deterministic, "hallucination-free" AI system • How AI cuts deal analysis from days to hours • Why scale, AUM pressure, and risk discipline are forcing automation • How AI can surface covenant breaches before they happen This conversation goes deep into AI, private credit, underwriting risk, and the future of institutional finance — straight from Money20/20. 🎙️ Tap Here breaks down how technology, money, and markets really work — without the buzzwords.

    ICYMI: IPO Market 2026: Is the Comeback Real? (Private Markets Changed the Game)

    The IPO market hasn’t looked the same since 2021. And even though it's made a good recovery, a future boom isn't necessarily guaranteed. On the inaugural episode of Tap Here, host Corey Goldman sits down with Jay Bala, CFA Bala, Founder & CIO of AIP Asset Management, to unpack what really happened to IPOs — and how private markets, private credit, and pre-IPO companies quietly stepped in to fill the gap. They break down: • Why the IPO market stalled after 2021 • How private equity, venture capital, and private credit reshaped capital formation • What a pre-IPO company actually is — and when companies go public • Why 1,200+ private unicorns now represent a ~$3T market • Why access to private markets remains limited • How investors and advisors should think about risk, liquidity, and diversification This isn’t about hype or hot takes. It’s about how modern capital markets actually work — and where growth is happening before companies ever ring the bell. 🎧 Watch / listen: ▶️ YouTube: https://lnkd.in/gmsUkJsU 🎧 Spotify: https://lnkd.in/gXKMHQF5 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://lnkd.in/gHRUMpkN 📌 Educational content only.

    Is Buy Now, Pay Later, a 'Debt' Sentence? Klarna's Steven Clarke

    Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) is everywhere — but is it actually increasing consumer debt? In this episode of Tap Here, host Corey Goldman sits down with Steven Clarke, Head of Klarna Canada, to explain how Buy Now, Pay Later really works, why BNPL is often misunderstood, and how Klarna approaches payments, consumer risk, and responsible spending in Canada. Steven breaks down how Klarna’s Buy Now, Pay Later model differs from credit cards and payday loans, including Klarna’s transaction-by-transaction underwriting, zero-interest installment options, and built-in controls designed to prevent consumers from taking on excessive debt. They also explore how BNPL fits into the broader fintech and payments ecosystem, and why Klarna is increasingly viewed as more than just a payment method. The conversation covers: • What Buy Now, Pay Later actually is — and what it isn’t • BNPL vs credit cards: key differences in debt and interest • How Klarna underwrites risk and promotes responsible payments • Real data on BNPL usage, repayment behavior, and consumer debt • Why Canada’s banking and payments system lags other markets • How Klarna creates value for consumers, retailers, and ecommerce Whether you’re a consumer, merchant, fintech professional, or policymaker, this episode offers a clear, data-driven look at Buy Now, Pay Later in Canada and the role BNPL is playing in the future of digital payments. 🔔 Subscribe to Tap Here for more conversations on fintech, payments, investing, and the intersection of money and technology.

    The Next Big Online Fraud to Worry About? Business Identity Theft: Jackie Wylie, Middesk

    AI and cybercriminals have a new and more lucrative identity-theft target: businesses. That's why platforms that are helping banks, neobanks, and fintechs are hyper-focused on a different acronym these days: KYB, or Know Your Business. Business indentity fraud has surged in the past few years, thanks to technology and AI making it faster and easier than ever to literally create a fake business in minutes. Middesk is not only ready and armed for the battle, it's decked out in style to do it. Corey Goldman caught up with Middesk Head of Marketing Jackie Wylie at this year's Money20/20 in Las Vegas to learn more about how they do it, one crewneck varsity sweatshirt at a time.

    Corey Goldman sits down with Jason Saltzman, Head of Insights at CB Insights, on the Money20/20 show floor to unpack how technology, AI, and predictive intelligence are reshaping how investors and analysts research, track, and value private companies. They explore why “perfect” data is a myth, why that’s actually a good thing, and where AI delivers real value today—not as a crystal ball, but as a powerful tool for sifting, sorting, and analyzing massive volumes of private-market data. In this episode, they cover: • Why clean data still needs humans (even with AI) • The dirty secret about “perfect” data—and why it doesn’t matter • What Wall Street still gets wrong about AI and data • Why AI works best as an analyst’s assistant, not a replacement • How predictive intelligence is changing private-market research 🎧 Listen on Spotify & Apple Podcasts: https://lnkd.in/g3nje-94 🎥 Watch on YouTube (Tap Here): https://lnkd.in/gEq5Rvsw 🌐 Tap Here Website: https://www.tapherepodcast.com This podcast is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial or legal advice.

    Why No One Is 'Too Smart' to be Scammed Anymore: Tyler Adams, CertifID

    In this episode, Corey sits down with Tyler Adams of CertifID to unpack the new reality of fraud in 2025, and why no one is “too smart” to be scammed anymore. They dig into how cybercrime losses reported to the FBI hit $16.6 billion in a single year, with billions attributed to business email compromise (BEC) and other social-engineering schemes. From AI-generated emails and fake websites to romance scams and real estate wire fraud, Tyler explains how criminals have industrialized deception and why cybercrime is now seen as one of the biggest threats to wealth transfer in the United States. You’ll hear real stories from the front lines: * Homebuyers losing their life savings days before closing * Churches and nonprofits tricked into sending six-figure payments to fraudsters * How Tyler’s team has helped recover over $100 million sent to fraudulent accounts—while acknowledging the painful reality that much more is never recovered * Tyler also explains why the old mindset of “trust but verify” no longer works. In a world of instant payments and always-on digital transactions, the rule is now “verify first, then trust.” They explore: * Why a healthy amount of friction (extra clicks, security checks, callbacks) is like having locks on your digital front door * How technology can help verify identities, bank details, and payment changes before funds move * How partnerships with agencies like the United States Secret Service can increase the odds of getting stolen money back—if victims act fast Tap Here host Corey Goldman jokes the CertifID team should be wearing capes, and honestly, he’s not wrong. Tyler and the CertifID team have helped recover over $100 million sent to fraudulent accounts, with help from of all places, the U.S. Secret Service. If you care about protecting your money, your business, your nonprofit, or your clients, this conversation is a must-listen. Remember: this is educational, not financial or legal advice. Always do your own research and talk to a licensed professional before making investment decisions and before sending payments online - Remember: Verify first, then trust.

    How AI Is Cutting Retail Theft, and Slowing Down Dupes: Alex Mazelow

    Alex Mazelow on the Tech- and AI-Driven Future of Brands and Retail Retail and technology analyst Alex Mazelow joins Tap Here host Corey Goldman for a wide-ranging conversation on how technology and artificial intelligence are fundamentally reshaping the global brands and retail ecosystem. From fashion houses to big-box retailers, AI is no longer a future concept — it’s already embedded across product design, pricing, logistics, and consumer engagement.

In this episode, Corey and Alex explore: • How AI is transforming product design, dynamic pricing, and supply chains — from predicting consumer trends to automating manufacturing and inventory decisions • The escalating cat-and-mouse game between AI-powered fraud prevention tools and increasingly sophisticated retail theft and abuse tactics • Why fashion and consumer brands are leaning into technology to improve sustainability, transparency, and long-term consumer trust • What the next generation of retail brands will look like as AI moves from a supporting role to a core operating system Whether you’re a brand operator, investor, technologist, or just curious about how AI is quietly changing how we shop, this episode offers a sharp, practical look at the future of retail. 🎥 Watch the full interview on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tapherepodcast 🌐 Learn more about Tap Here: https://tapherepodcast.com (Warning: you may never look at a storefront — or a supply chain — the same way again.)

  12. The Liquidity Crisis, and Why Wall Street Must Bring Back the IPO: Jay Bala, AIP

    The Liquidity Crisis, and Why Wall Street Must Bring Back the IPO: Jay Bala, AIP

    In the inaugural episode of Tap Here, host Corey Goldman sits down with Jay Bala, Founder, Portfolio Manager, and Chief Investment Officer of AIP Asset Management, to unpack what’s really happening beneath the surface of today’s private and public markets. With IPO activity finally gaining some momentum, Corey and Jay explore what the tepid comeback says about market health, capital formation, and the long-term implications for investors and companies alike. From unicorn-scale private businesses to the shifting incentives around staying private versus going public, this conversation cuts through the noise to focus on first principles. They dig into: • Why IPOs matter and what they signal about the overall health of capital markets • How private companies scale to unicorn status before even considering a public listing • Whether going public still makes sense when private capital is abundant • What’s holding the IPO market back — and what could restart it Jay also makes the case for why public markets remain critical to the financial system. While private fundraising can be faster and easier for companies, IPOs democratize access to growth by opening participation beyond a small circle of institutional investors. Without healthy public markets, wealth creation risks becoming increasingly concentrated. If you’re curious about the future of IPOs, private capital, and where opportunity may emerge next, this episode sets the foundation for everything Tap Here aims to explore. ▶️ Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3MJbXLA 🌐 Explore more episodes and insights: www.tapheremedia.com
