    Entrepreneurship on Six Fronts: How to Lead When Everyone Eats First but You : Ep 370

    In this candid solo episode, Bridger Pennington pulls back the curtain on what entrepreneurship looks like when a founder is juggling six simultaneous fronts—employees, customers, investors, banks, regulators, and family—while sometimes going months without a personal paycheck. Bridger explores: Day-zero uncertainty versus 100-hour weeks: why the unknown is tougher than the grind and how “ignorance debt” means failure never truly resets anyone to zero.Success shockwaves at home: the uncomfortable truth behind friends and relatives saying, “You’ve changed,” and why that reaction is normal for entrepreneurs.The eat-last mentality: how leaders keep everyone else paid first and still show up with energy and conviction.The spiral-staircase effect: fighting the same battles at ever-higher stakes because personal growth always precedes business growth.Starting before life gets crowded: AI and low start-up costs have removed most excuses—waiting only makes the leap harder.

    Just Win: Mental Frames, and Becoming the Hero of Your Story : Ep 369

    What story am I telling myself about my own life? In this episode, I break down the three core mental frames—victim, survivor, and hero—that I see at the heart of every self-help book, therapy session, or motivational seminar. I share a story from John D. Rockefeller’s youth that completely changed the way I look at my own journey. I get personal about some of the hardest moments I’ve faced, and I explain why choosing the “hero” frame isn’t about pretending life is easy—it’s about deciding to win, no matter where I start. I’ll walk you through how self-talk has shaped my life, why I think the myth of equal outcomes holds people back, and even how the way I describe my spouse or my past has helped me reshape my future. If you’ve ever felt stuck or wanted to rewrite your own story, this episode is for you—I’m sharing what’s actually worked for me. Want to launch a fund?

    The Reality of Running an Investment Fund : Ep 368

    This is the side of fund management nobody talks about. I’ve run funds through 76% growth quarters... and through bloodbath months where everything crashes. In this episode, I open up about what it's really like behind the scenes — managing millions, navigating volatility, and putting your reputation on the line every day. If you're building a fund, thinking about launching one, or just want the raw, unfiltered truth from someone who's deep in the game... this one’s for you. Want to launch a fund?

    Trump Tariffs Update: April 2nd Shakeup & Market Predictions : Ep 367

    Here’s your update on the Trump tariffs hitting April 2nd. I’m breaking down which countries are getting hit, how these tariffs work, and what to expect from the market this week. We're talking India, Europe, China, Canada, Mexico, Turkey—what their tariffs are, how Trump’s reciprocal tariffs will hit back, and what the game plan is from here. Trump's calling it "Liberation Day" for America, saying the U.S. is done getting ripped off. I'm diving into the numbers, the history behind these tariffs, and why I think most countries are going to fold fast. Could this trigger a market rally? Let's talk about it. Want to launch a fund?

    Stop Adding Features—Solve the Real Problem : Ep 365

    In this episode, Bridger breaks down a critical mistake most fund managers (and businesses) make—going a mile wide on features instead of an inch deep on solving the one problem that truly matters. Inspired by insights from Y Combinator, Peter Thiel, and his own experience running Black Card, he uncovers why focusing on solving a singular, core issue creates raving fans, builds stronger businesses, and ultimately leads to greater success.
