    I Fixed The NBA's MVP Voting Problem In This Special Interview With @LakersFastBreak

    Send us Fan Mail The NBA MVP race is supposed to reward the most valuable player, but the closer you look, the more it starts to feel like a narrative contest. I’m joined again by Gerald Glasford, founder and creator of Lakers Fast Break, to get brutally honest about what’s driving the vote down the stretch and why late-season dominance doesn’t always change minds. If you’ve been watching Luka Doncic put up historic numbers and wondering how he’s still not the clear favorite, we walk through the uncomfortable answer: the media often picks the story first, then spends the rest of the season defending it. We dig into the real MVP cases for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Luka, Victor Wembanyama, and Nikola Jokic and why each one exposes a different set of “rules” voters claim to care about. We talk consistency, team record, expectations, defense, free throws, and why the standards seem to shift depending on the candidate. And yes, we get into the foul-drawing discourse, because you can’t talk modern NBA scoring without talking about how points are actually generated. Then we bring it home to the Lakers playoff outlook: which first-round matchup we want, which one we’d rather avoid, and what has to hold up when postseason defenses take away easy offense. Gerald breaks down the bench concerns, the adjustments that matter, and the one version of this team that can make a real run if it shows up at the right time.

    What If The Real Competitive Edge Is Being Human Again

    Send us Fan Mail We kick off 2025 with a “status of everything” format and take a hard look at tech and social media and how it’s reshaping daily life. We talk through the benefits of unlimited access to information, the hidden costs of short-form content, and why being great with people may be the most valuable skill now. • the plan for a January “status of everything” series and what sectors we’re covering • how TikTok and short-form video changed habits across age groups • the upside of instant learning via Google and YouTube tutorials • why watching content can feel like progress without real action • how platforms optimize for retention and keep us scrolling • the mental and emotional downsides including feeling unfulfilled, anxious, or disconnected • how real estate and investing benefit from tech while losing human interaction • why human-to-human skills become a bigger advantage than tech fluency • signs of cultural pushback and growing hope for a better balance Just strongly encourage everybody, try to make it a part of your plan this year. Set aside an hour every day or six hours every day, whatever you're comfortable with doing, maybe it's 20 minutes, to go outside of your house and do something active and physically do something with your hands or do a project, you know, with another human being in some capacity. www.stephanpiscanopodcast.com To Follow Us On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VacationWealthPartners

    Using Inflation History To Spot The Next Real Estate Window

    Send us Fan Mail When markets feel the loudest, the best signals are often the quietest and they’re usually buried in history. We pull a December 2020 webinar back off the shelf and treat it like a time capsule: what we thought inflation, real estate, and the broader economy would do coming out of the pandemic, and what those same data points can still teach us as we head into 2025. I walk through the core idea that has guided my investing through multiple cycles: chaos creates opportunity. That is not motivational talk. It’s a practical framework for staying calm while other people panic, then using fundamentals to find the “loophole” inside the chaos. We dig into why I focus on cash flow and cash-on-cash return instead of trying to predict appreciation, and how a downturn can actually improve returns when rents hold steady and assets get cheaper. From there we zoom out to inflation indicators you can measure. We compare long-term moves in gold prices and average home prices, then zero in on the late 1970s inflation spike to understand what rapid inflation looks like in real time. We also connect high interest rates to the rise of owner financing, and why leverage terms and structure can matter more than the headline purchase price. If you care about real estate investing, inflation hedges, precious metals, and making smart moves around big catalysts like elections, this one gives you a clear lens for thinking ahead.
