    Bill Ackman's Biggest Warnings: Leverage, Margin Calls, and Zero-Day Options

    The Money School: The Complete Financial Education You Were Never Given Nicole's most comprehensive book yet, the financial curriculum that should have been taught in school but never was. From your first paycheck to investing, buying a home, building wealth, and planning your legacy, The Money School is the full course in plain English. Go check it out: https://nicolelapin.com/money-school-book Bill Ackman called the 2008 financial crisis years before Wall Street did, and he built one of the most legendary trades in modern investing along the way. Today, Nicole breaks down the money lessons from her sit-down with Bill that she can't stop thinking about, and why they matter for your portfolio even if you don't run a hedge fund. She unpacks the "durable compounder" philosophy Bill uses to find unkillable businesses, and how Warren Buffett has influenced his strategy. Then things get cautionary: Bill's blunt warning about borrowing against your stocks, the margin call math that can crush you, and his take on the one-day options trend flooding retail trading apps.

    WTF is Going on in the Bond Market?!

    The Money School: The Complete Financial Education You Were Never Given My comprehensive book yet, the financial curriculum that should have been taught in school but never was. From your first paycheck to investing, buying a home, building wealth, and planning your legacy, The Money School is the full course in plain English. Go check it out: https://nicolelapin.com/money-school-book I'm going to sound an alarm today about the least sexy topic in finance: the bond market. Stick with me, because this one lands directly in your wallet. Over the past few weeks, investors have been dumping U.S. government bonds, and the 10-year Treasury yield just hit its highest level in years. That one number is quietly driving up your mortgage rate, your car loan, and your credit card, whether you ever buy a bond or not. I break down what a bond actually is (spoiler: it's just an IOU), the biggest myth I hear constantly about the Fed and your mortgage rate, and the real reasons investors are suddenly nervous about lending Uncle Sam money. ----------------------- MORE FROM NICOLE LAPIN 🎥 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@MoneyRehabPodcast 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moneyrehab/ 📽️ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nicolelapin 🌐 Nicole's website: https://nicolelapin.com OTHER THINGS WE DO 💳 SoFi: https://SoFi.com/MNN 💰 Private Wealth Collective: https://privatewealthcollective.com 🏦 The Money School: https://themoneyschool.com Learn more about your ad choices.

    Maye Musk Couldn't Pay Rent at 50. Now She's a Full-Time Model at 77.

    Maye Musk is a model, dietician, and author. But before any of that success, she was 50 years old, newly single, and unable to make rent. Today, Maye joins Nicole to talk about her new memoir, Timeless, and the financial reinvention that came after everything fell apart. Maye opens up about the financial abuse she experienced in her first marriage, including how her ex-husband removed her signing rights from their joint account and took her savings, and why she still advises women to keep some money of their own, no matter how it might be received. She shares what it was like starting over in a new city with almost nothing, working her way back from a $2,000-a-month apartment she could barely afford, and the confidence it took to build two entirely new careers from scratch in her 50s. Then, Maye and Nicole get into why she didn't become a full-time model until her 60s, how she reframes aging as an asset instead of something to hide, and the mindset that let her keep saying yes to jobs, rejection, and reinvention well past the age most people consider their prime. Here's what Nicole covers with Maye: 00:00 Maye's Life Starting Over at 50 02:00 Not Being Able to Pay Rent for the First Time 06:38 Escaping a Financially Abusive Marriage 08:41 Why Maye Advocates for Women Having Their Own Bank Account 11:02 Starting Over With Nothing 21:45 Confidence, Rejection, and Getting to "One Out of 20" 23:04 Becoming a Full-Time Model at 60 26:36 Why Age Became an Asset, Not a Liability 27:11 Having to Stop Her Practice as Her Fame Grew 37:31 Tip You Can Take Straight to the Bank ----------------------- Start investing at https://SoFi.com/MNN Private Wealth Collective: Nicole's boutique wealth management practice for people who want more than a robo-advisor and less than a hedge fund minimum.

    Digital Dementia, Biohacking, and Why Your Brain Is Your Biggest Wealth Asset | Jim Kwik

    Jim Kwik has coached Fortune 500 companies, Oprah, Will Smith, and Richard Branson on how to think faster and remember more. Today, he joins Nicole to explain why your brain, not your bank account, is your greatest wealth building asset. Jim breaks down what he calls "digital dementia," the MIT study showing what AI is doing to our memory and critical thinking, and why he believes AI will not replace humans so much as reveal them. He also gets into the emotional side of wealth: why purpose beats motivation, how tiny "micro-commitments" trigger the dopamine that actually creates momentum, and why self-image, not goals, determines what we achieve. Then, Nicole puts Jim's favorite biohacks to the test, and he rates everything from walking and sauna to meditation and TikTok on a scale of 1 to 10. Jim also shares the real story behind a $50 million deal that fell apart because of a forgotten name, his 12-minute morning routine with his toddler, and the writing ritual he started in the hospital the day his daughter was born.
