    Ex-BlackRock Risk Analyst Explains Why Risk Models Lie | Joe Hegener

    I asked Joe Hegner, a PIMCO alum who now runs his own hedge fund, what the pension funds and central banks he advised get wrong, and his answer was not what I expected. He explains how the same portfolio can look safe or dangerous depending on who sets the assumptions, and why the downside he thinks is least likely gets extra weight in his own fund. We also get into the helicopter over Athens that tracked down Greek tax dodgers by their swimming pools, and why he doubts the EU lasts another decade. The moment that stuck with me was his dad, a former Wall Street CEO, telling him right out of college that he knew nothing and needed 10 years first.

    How A Mortgage Coach Went From 60 Hour Weeks to 6 | Anthony Marinaccio

    Mortgage consultant Anthony Marinaccio, 23 years in lending and still writing his own loans, sat down with me and hit me with a claim I couldn't shake: he does the same volume of business today in under six hours a week that used to take him sixty. We got into the system behind that, from cutting 253 referral agents down to 14 to the consultant who stopped taking his money and told him he was at the wrong company. But the part that stayed with me was a man who built all of that, coming home at the end of a long day to photograph his own housework as proof, and what it finally took for him to file. He was winning awards and getting written up in Forbes while hating every day of it, and what he did next took almost every referral partner he had with it.

    How A 22-Year-Old Sold 3 Data Centers To Launch A Prop Firm | Sebastian Ness

    Sebastian Ness, the 25-year-old CEO who built Sure Leverage Funding out of the wreckage of a competitor that went under overnight, sat down with me and hit me with a claim I couldn't shake: some of his traders have strung together 50 or 60 payouts in a row without ever breaching an account. We got into how his risk team catches "reverse hedging," where a trader bets both sides of the same trade across two different platforms, and how his wife's credit card, not his, funded every account he traded before Sure Leverage even existed. But what stayed with me was him telling me, flat out, that two different people broke into his house trying to get into his Bitcoin wallet, and that he still doesn't see the point of holding the coin at all.

    How Getting Fired Built MTA Consultancy | Chris Mader

    He doubled a company's revenue to $150M once. Then he got called into an office and told it was his last day. If that has ever happened to you, you already know the feeling. Chris Mader ran an $85M company to $115M as interim CEO. The board had already promised him the job in writing. Then the founder needed $4M in payroll cuts, and Chris got the call anyway. I asked him how you rebuild after doing it exactly right and still losing the seat. Chris was Player of the Year in the minors. The next year he led his team in every offensive category and still got released. He turned that into MTA Consultancy, built on a rule you will recognize: he will not work for a leader he cannot believe in. You probably cannot walk away from a bad boss tomorrow. Chris built a business so he never has to again.  Learn what Wharton Business School will never teach you!  Sign up for the ANTI-MBA today: https://bit.ly/46vct60 Click here to order your personalized poster!: https://bit.ly/46J08MS Connect with Chris Mader Get his book, “ Make the Adjustment”: https://bit.ly/4xDPGRL Listen to " Make the Adjustment Podcast " on all your favorite platforms!

    The Cornell MBA Who Says The Paper On The Wall Did Nothing | Joshua Lindsey

    I tore up my Wharton MBA on camera a couple of months ago, so I was curious what Joshua Lindsey would say about his. He was making 50 thousand dollars a week at 25, had already helped put close to 30,000 ATMs across the Western United States, and then went back and paid his own way through an Ivy League executive program at 28. He hung the paper on the wall and told me he still isn't sure it did anything for him beyond letting him tell his friends he'd done something too. We get into how he went zero to 12 million in his first year on his own, what it cost him when his partners went rogue, and why he thinks a first-time entrepreneur is better off buying a business than starting one. If you're weighing a degree against a few years of actually doing the work, start here.

    Why Everything Around You Is Quietly Building Who You Are | Ruh Fahim

    When Ruh Fahim sat across from me, every blood panel he'd ever taken came back "fine," yet he'd once had brain fog so bad he couldn't finish a sentence. We got into how the real problem wasn't in his labs but in the walls of his house, the food on his plate, and a story he'd carried since childhood.

    How A 20-Year-Old With No Degree Bought An Aston Martin In Cash | Frank Lopinski

    In this episode, I talked with Frank Lipinski, who bet on himself instead of college, built real wealth in crypto by twenty, and learned that money solves far fewer problems than most young men assume. We break down the simple twenty-minute-a-day habit that can lift you into the top 5% at almost anything, the brutal math that makes college one of the worst investments around, and the dating illusions guys cling to. He also shares the loss of his father, gone just six weeks after diagnosis when Frank was nineteen, and how it changed the way he values time, money, and everything in between.  Learn what Wharton Business School will never teach you!  Sign up for the ANTI-MBA today: https://bit.ly/46vct60 Click here to order your personalized poster!: https://bit.ly/46J08MS Listen to "Entrepreneur Podcast” on YouTube: https://bit.ly/4hKw8GB  Connect with Frank Lopinski Website: https://bit.ly/4cOoBD5  YouTube: https://bit.ly/4cnS2vC  Instagram: https://bit.ly/4cJIcnS  LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4g4aU57  Timestamps 00:00 - Intro of Show 01:12 - Meet Frank Lipinski 01:59 - Why he skipped college 04:00 - The FaZe house that inspired him 05:00 - Failed businesses and a Facebook ban 07:07 - Conflict with his dad 09:30 - Discovering crypto in 2017 12:00 - Why college is the worst ROI 13:46 - AI, jobs, and the talent stack 17:45 - Taking a year off after crypto 23:43 - Moving to Scottsdale 25:10 - Med spa business and dating 33:40 - The dating market truth 46:27 - Losing his father at 19 53:01 - Marriage, kids, and tradeoffs 59:38 - Rapid-fire questions 1:01:13 - Why success can make you miserable Watch the “David Guttman Podcast” every Tuesday at 8 AM EST on YouTube: https://bit.ly/4wpqfCN Connect with David Guttman Website: https://bit.ly/4v6rnKm  Instagram: https://bit.ly/4v2ALyr  TikTok: https://bit.ly/4gP3hjI  Facebook: https://bit.ly/4y2VZze  X: https://bit.ly/4v3Xfza  LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4awQRJv  SUBSCRIBE TO: https://www.youtube.com/@RealDaveGuttman Download the “David Guttman Podcast” on all your favorite podcast platforms: Spotify: ​​https://spoti.fi/3VE3fzV Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3VLzm0v

    What Wrestling Teaches You In Business | Tom Ryan

    Ohio State head wrestling coach Tom Ryan,  the man who brought the Buckeyes their first national title, sat down with me and hit me with a claim I couldn't shake: hand him almost any seventh grader, and if that kid fully commits, he'll be winning 75% of the time by his senior year. We got into the system behind that, from the "marbles in a jar" principle to walking on at Iowa when Dan Gable didn't even know his name. But the part that stayed with me was how a man nothing in wrestling could break found his way through the hardest loss a parent can face, and the "chosen suffering" philosophy that carried him.  Learn what Wharton Business School will never teach you!  Sign up for the ANTI-MBA today: https://bit.ly/46vct60 Click here to order your personalized poster!: https://bit.ly/46J08MS Connect with Tom Ryan Website: https://bit.ly/4wnppWD  Instagram: https://bit.ly/4wkPzJG  Facebook: https://bit.ly/4wkPB4g  X: https://bit.ly/4g34WQN  LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4wip0og  Timestamps 00:00 - Intro of Show 01:23 - Meeting at Iowa wrestling camp, 1983 05:04 - Cut from basketball, finding wrestling 08:38 - Jay Robinson and 120 workouts in 30 days 09:35 - Why wrestling rewards preparation 10:43 - The marbles-in-a-jar principle 11:35 - Leaving a full ride at Syracuse 17:28 - Walking on at Iowa, Gable, the Steiners 22:13 - First head job at Hofstra, two scholarships 26:31 - Why great coaches were great wrestlers 29:21 - The three C's: competence, connection, character 31:32 - Losing his five-year-old son 35:41 - Ohio State as a new beginning 45:35 - Wrestling as training for business and life 50:07 - Recruiting: green flags and red flags 52:20 - Logan Stieber and emotional control 55:06 - Writing "Chosen Suffering" 1:00:07 - Suffering as a synonym for love 1:04:07 - The research behind his faith 1:11:22 - Competing with a hand sewn shut  Watch the “David Guttman Podcast” every Tuesday at 8 AM EST on YouTube: https://bit.ly/4wpqfCN Connect with David Guttman Website: https://bit.ly/4v6rnKm  Instagram: https://bit.ly/4v2ALyr  TikTok: https://bit.ly/4gP3hjI  Facebook: https://bit.ly/4y2VZze  X: https://bit.ly/4v3Xfza  LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/4awQRJv  SUBSCRIBE TO: https://www.youtube.com/@RealDaveGuttman Download the “David Guttman Podcast” on all your favorite podcast platforms: Spotify: ​​https://spoti.fi/3VE3fzV Apple Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3VLzm0v
