    Thoughts on 2024 Election, Memory Palace Coup, Communist Vietnam

    Back for solo episode 7. I dive into techniques on how to improve your memory—sharing tips that have helped me to remember names and lists. I also give my take on the recent election, with a bit of humor and a bot of speculation. Plus, there’s a story from my trip to Vietnam, where I had eye-opening experiences. For example, I was told the "American War" is not to be talked about in North Vietnam. In the last episode, I touched on the origins of heroin. Here I mention the article I wrote about how the Nazis used methamphetamine to fuel their wartime aggression—a shocking discovery from Norman Ohler’s Blitzed, which is a must-read for anyone curious about World War II’s lesser-known history.

    Baseball Cards & Heroin for Kids

    Back for consecutive solo episode 6 from New Orleans. I share some of what I learned from a mind-blowing book I just finished—Blitzed by Norman Ohler. It’s a fascinating look at how the rise of modern societies is as intertwined with the drug trade as much as technological advances. I had no idea until now—but some people believe humanity’s origins were fueled by drugs. It's wild! I also talk about baseball, basketball & football cards, sharing a story from my card-collecting days. Turns out, winning a homerun derby at 10 years old scored me some valuable cards—including the Carl Yastrzemskii with sideburns.

    Trump/Pocahontas, Why Nice Guys Finish Last, Investing for the Future

    Back in H-town. In this 5th consecutive solo episode, I continue the discussion on money & investing. But first—I share feedback on the recent blog article: "Why Nice Guys Finish Last: An Open Letter to Men." (Mens' responses were positive; womens' mixed.) I also explore investment strategies for high net worth individuals, share thoughts on IPOs, ETFs & individual 'tickers' you might not be aware of. Then I go back to the future to talk about the prospects of more nuclear energy. You might remember "Doc's" Delorean ran on the "Mr. Fusion Home Energy Reactor." Well, since the energy landscape is rapidly changing, I talk about investment opportunities in nuclear power and AI/Robotics.

    Thoughts on Diddy, Tipping Culture Gone Wild, Teaching My Kid About Money

    Still in Prague. In this 4th consecutive solo episode, I dive into the P Diddy controversy and share what I believe is going on right now. Although I’ve been a rap enthusiast most of my life, I’ve never been a fan of the Diddler. I liked Mase. I also talk about spending money on experiences vs things. Why that’s so important. As someone who’s burned through quite a bit of cash traveling across the eurozone—I share tips on how you can avoid doing the same. I also speak about how I plan to teach my kid about money & investing.

    Prague Castle, Lil Wayne, New Orleans

    3rd solo episode from Europe. I tell tales from Central Europe and a childhood story that contributed to us being here. I discuss "why Prague?" and share a brief history of Czechoslovakia. Crazy to see how much has changed since my first time here in 2015. If present-day Prague interests you, I'll share tips for visitors these next few episodes, and talk about how the city has evolved since the fall of communism. I also share memories of getting our first Nintendo and my first concert in 1992.

    Travel to Budapest, Coldplay Concert, Parenting Beef

    In this solo episode, I share the story of our unexpected journey from Berchtesgaden, Germany, to Budapest, Hungary. Our month-long stay in Berchtesgaden was cut short. But it turned into an adventurous detour due to a problem with our Airbnb. We "trained" 8 hours east. From Germany - Austria - Hungary, finally settling in my 2nd-favorite city in the world: Budapest. I also talk about a recent Twitter/X beef I had about parenting, and why going to the Coldplay concert in Munich was non-negotiable for me.

    Lifelong Friendships, Eagle's Nest, 90s Comedy, Jesus Christ

    Tupac once said twelve shots couldn't stop him, he took it and smiled. The problem for Pac was he didn't know what was coming next. I know the feeling. Things can go from bad to worse real fast. The past year's been a nightmare for your newly-humbled host with an old podcast. I feel like I went up a muddy mountain trail with unsuspecting Cu Chi Tunnel spikes and the occasional alligator moat. Not to mention there was a dragon to slay at the top that I might be battling the rest of my life. So I thought it was time to revive the podcast. I come to you from Berchtesgaden, Germany (pictured), home of Eagle's Nest. Recorded this quick episode to ease back into podcasting and let you know what the Overseas crew's been up to. I also give thanks to friends and family who've supported me through the worst of it—full story to come soon. Listen to recent travel stories, thoughts on Christ, and books that go hard like a healthy male with a Zyn habit.

    Santa Claus Wuz Here, Final Thoughts of 2023, Bye for Now

    In this final episode of 2023, I share personal stories from Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, comment on others’ ‘Best of’ Lists & Quotes, and share an update on the near-future of the podcast. Here’s what’s covered in this final episode of 2023: Top 5 Wealth Killers by Peter Mallouk By a landslide: credit card debtHigh student loans without a high earning degreeHouse(s) / car(s) beyond needs and with a higher carrying cost than you can affordA partner that encourages excessive spendingPersonal lifestyle creepLouis L’Amour was one of the world’s most popular authors. My friend, Joseph Wells (@josephcwells on X), who wrote How to Become the Richest Man in Babylon, in October 2019, read L’Amour’s autobiography in 2023 and wrote the Top 10 Lessons he learned: Expect rejection and be pleasantly surprised by success.Don’t let school interfere with your education.Only judge people of the past based on standards of the past.Ideas are everywhere. All you have to do is pay attention.Just because you disagree with someone doesn’t mean you can’t learn from them.Having an opinion is not the same as thinking. The latter is more valuable than the former.“Only one who has learned much can fully appreciate his ignorance.”The best way to be a bad manager is to act before you understand a situation.“Talent is nothing but long patience.”“Let people know what you’re looking for. Often the best information will come from the least likely sources.”By the way, I’ve been reading Joseph Wells’ The Lake Street Journal for 4 years. It’s sent to my Inbox every Friday morning. I recommend it.
