    The Future of Natural Gas: Data, AI & the Next Energy Boom with Jay Bhatty | Jake & Gino show

    Is the future of natural gas actually brighter than we’re being told? In this episode of the Jake & Gino podcast, Gino and Jake sit down with Jay Bhatty, founder and CEO of NetGasHub.com, to unpack how data, pipelines, and smart policy are reshaping the future of natural gas in a world obsessed with renewables, AI, and exploding energy demand. Jay explains why the U.S. is the “Saudi Arabia of natural gas” and how that advantage impacts manufacturing, data centers, and your wallet. He breaks down how traders use data from pipelines and price differentials to profit in the energy markets, and why physics—not politics—is often the real constraint on wind and solar. You’ll learn how the future of natural gas fits into a balanced energy mix (coal, nuclear, solar, wind), why bright young talent is flocking to the intersection of energy and technology, and how investors can gain exposure to pure natural gas plays. Jay also shares his entrepreneur framework—why you should build “painkiller” businesses, how to spot real-world pain points, and why boring, cash-flowing companies may be the best opportunities of all.

    How Not to Invest with Barry Ritholtz: Behavioral Finance, Indexing & Timeless Strategies | Jake & Gino show

    Wall Street noise is loud—Barry Ritholtz shows you How Not to Invest. In this episode, we cut through models, headlines, and hype to focus on the few decisions that actually compound.  Barry shares a practical framework for decision-making grounded in behavioral finance: why models are “wrong but useful,” how to build a checklist to filter signal from noise, and why broad indexing should anchor most portfolios. We dig into direct indexing for tax management, the attention economy’s impact on investors, and the real effects of tariffs and Fed timing on markets and Main Street. He also maps the “two businesses” every investor must master: deploying capital quietly for decades and consuming information without getting captured by clickbait. If you’re curious about AI’s productivity boost, global mean reversion beyond the U.S., and realistic expectations after back-to-back strong years, this conversation is for you. By the end, you’ll know How Not to Invest—and what to do instead.
