| 5/21/26 | Soldier of the Year, Space Force Tech & the Future of Venture | Chris Shonk | Chris Shonk has lived four lives most people would not survive. One of eight children, Army Special Operations Soldier of the Year, Merrill Lynch analyst, private equity founder, pawn shop operator, public-company builder, and now venture investor in AI, space, and defense. The contrarian lesson is not "move faster." It's know what is real, know what is coming, and build where they collide. Shonk calls this living between history and sci-fi — the place where serious capital, national securit... | 1h 35m 12s | ||||||
| 5/13/26 | "Your Legacy Isn't Your Money" | Behind R360's Most Iconic Documentary Storyteller | Silvia Costa | Silvia Costa has sat in the living rooms of 31 ultra-high-net-worth families — worth an average of $600M — and asked them one question no financial advisor ever will: "What do you want to tell the great-grandchildren you'll never meet?" What comes out is not investment philosophy. It's something far more valuable. She spent two decades producing "The Business Profile" for CNBC Europe, BBC America, and Financial Times TV across 72 countries. Then she walked away to document the human side of... | 1h 24m 28s | ||||||
| 4/21/26 | 14 Years on the Equities Desk: The Truth About Big Money Trading | Luis d'Amato | Most advice on wealth is written by people who've never traded through hyperinflation, been on a trading floor on 9/11, or built a firm after being legally barred from their industry for eight years. This conversation is different. Luis D'Amato spent 20 years inside Hedging Griffo — Brazil's legendary trading house acquired by Credit Suisse — then walked away with an eight-year non-compete to build Aston Capital Management from zero in Miami. He now manages $700M across US taxpayers and inte... | 1h 32m 24s | ||||||
| 3/31/26 | Built a Global Retail Empire at 21, Then Sold It for 8 Figures | Anthony Ng Monica | Anthony Ng Monica from London refused to fail in both business and life. He built a company called Swogo with no co-founders, no venture capital, and no connections. Then sold it for eight figures, all cash. Anthony did it by understanding something most founders never figure out: enterprise sales is not about selling. It's about helping someone buy, protect their job, hit their targets, and make their team look good. He doesn't talk about hustle. He talks about systems — for decisions, for ... | 1h 25m 57s | ||||||
| 3/10/26 | "Can Kindness Stop a War?" The Science Behind Humanity's Most Ignored Superpower | Jaclyn Lindsey | Most people in the room with $600M in average net worth don't want to hear about kindness. Until they see the data. Jaclyn Lindsey — co-founder and CEO of Kindness.org — walks into those rooms and flips the assumption. The science wins every time. Jaclyn built a 10-year research organization with an Oxford-affiliated scientist, quantified kindness into a measurable quotient (the KQ), and deployed it across 500,000 students in 80 countries with zero paid marketing. She discovered kindn... | 1h 25m 53s | ||||||
| 2/17/26 | Lost $20M in 20 Minutes. Slept in My Car. Built $500M | Damion Lupo | In 2005, Damion's grandmother sent him a letter that read: " Damion, you should stay single. You're too much of a selfish ass hole. You should not be with anybody." Three years later, the universe delivered a harsher message: he lost $20 million in 20 minutes, slept in his car, and was $5 million in debt. Most people who lose everything don't come back. Damian Lupo built a $500M construction company that's rewriting how America builds houses - and raised $250 million from individuals,... | 1h 29m 01s | ||||||
| 1/27/26 | The Wealth Advisor Red Flags No One Tells You | Will Finnerty | Will Finnerty has served 72 families through nine-figure exits and has earned ZERO salary. Pure P&L. His paycheck dropped 60% in 18 days during COVID—because his compensation is tied directly to client outcomes. Most advisors tell you what to buy. Will spent 16 years teaching entrepreneurship at Georgetown University and 31 years learning what actually keeps multi-generational wealth intact. The answer has nothing to do with municipal bonds. The Three Buckets Framework: → Liquidi... | 1h 44m 33s | ||||||
| 1/20/26 | "Saturdays Didn't Exist for 5 Years" - $1,700 to $1B Exit Framework | Sofia Castro | She was 19, pregnant, and on government assistance. He was 22 with no car, no diploma, and three failed businesses. Her mother pulled $1,700 from her bra and made them promise not to waste it. Thirty-five years later - billion-dollar exit, 2,800 rental doors, 100-year family legacy in motion. The Focus Framework (What Actually Worked): → Daily checklist → Monthly goals → Quarterly targets → 5-year vision → No Saturdays or Sundays for the first five years → "Horse blinders"—zero outside nois... | 1h 20m 50s | ||||||
| 1/15/26 | Harvard's Best on AI, Space Investment, and the Search for Technological Markers | Avi Loeb - Part 2 | A Harvard department chair told Avi Loeb the job would consume 90% of his time. He did it in 20%—while holding two other leadership positions simultaneously. The difference wasn't talent. It was architecture. Loeb doesn't play by academia's rules. Tenure in three years. Founding director of Harvard's Black Hole Initiative. Currently hunting for extraterrestrial technology while most scientists mock the question. His approach to leadership and science challenges everything the establishment h... | 34m 20s | ||||||
| 1/11/26 | NASA Just Pushed a Narrative, This Is Not The Way Science Is Done | Avi Loeb Part 1 | Scientists spent $90 million over a decade searching for a "ghost particle" that doesn't exist. Nobody called it "nonsense on stilts." But when Avi Loeb, Harvard professor of science, Former Chair of Harvard's Department of Astronomy, and Best Selling Author of 9 books, wrote one sentence suggesting an interstellar object might have technological origins, the journal editor demanded that he remove it. Avi Loeb has written over 1,000 scientific papers. He thinks differently than most scientis... | 42m 11s | ||||||

| 12/18/25 | "We Don't Hire From Resumes—We Mine For Sparkle" | Valerie Jensen, Part 2 | Most people see 80% unemployment among adults with disabilities and think "charity opportunity." Wrong. It's the largest untapped labor market in America—and the accommodations often cost under $250. Valerie Jensen built movie theaters and farms entirely staffed by people with autism. Not as social impact. As the best business model she could design. Her method: "Sparkle Mining"—watch what makes someone light up, build their role around it. For 20 years, this only worked because Valerie had ... | 36m 52s | ||||||
| 12/16/25 | "80% Unemployment Is Just Lazy Thinking" | Valerie Jensen Part 1 | Former second-grade teacher stops wrecking ball, builds theater employing 300+ people with disabilities, pays out $37M in wages, pivots entire workforce to maple syrup farm during COVID, attracts Ryan Reynolds, becomes top-grossing 4-screen theater in America. This isn't charity. This is execution. The conventional wisdom: people with disabilities need special accommodations, lowered expectations, sheltered workshops. Jensen's contrarian insight: the 80% unemployment rate is lazy thinking. T... | 48m 52s | ||||||
| 12/2/25 | I Ran 135 miles in 2 Days While In Prison | Charlie Engle | Charlie Engel ran across the Sahara Desert. Then federal agents arrested him at his condo for signing a mortgage document—while billionaire CEOs who crashed the economy walked free. He served 21 months. What he built inside changed everything. Most people in minimum security hide. Charlie started running at 5 AM every day around the prison rec yard. An inmate named Pick and Roll told him "21 months isn't long enough to unpack your bags." Charlie realized something: his happiness was still en... | 34m 07s | ||||||
| 12/2/25 | Two Marathons a Day Across the Sahara Desert | Charlie Engle - Part 1 | Charlie Engel ran 4,300 miles across the Sahara Desert in 140-degree heat, sinking sand, and sandstorms—two marathons per day for 111 days. But the running wasn't the hard part. The hard part was unlearning everything he thought resilience meant. Most entrepreneurs think resilience comes from pushing harder. Charlie discovered it comes from detachment from outcomes while maintaining relentless forward motion. The Day-By-Day Framework: → Week one almost killed the expedition—support vehicle... | 52m 32s | ||||||
| 11/20/25 | If They Only Manage Money, Fire Them | James Bogart - Part 2 | Most wealth advisors gatekeep content and charge for advice. James Bogart built a $100M+ practice doing the opposite—giving everything away for free. When COVID killed his dinner seminars, he went digital. First Zoom: 397 attendees. Within months: 100 new leads per week. The contrarian bet paid off. The strategy wasn't generosity—it was game theory. No payment means no conflict. Free content creates relationships at scale. Digital compounds like interest. The Free Content Flywheel: →... | 46m 44s | ||||||
| 11/11/25 | Create Value, You'll Never Have to Sell | James Bogart - Part1 | Most wealth advisors chase clients. James Bogart turned 60-80 retirees into evangelists by giving away everything for free—then asked them not to keep him a secret. The result: $600M to $3B in assets under management. Zero M&A. Pure referrals. The insight: Fortune 500 employees with pensions are vastly uneducated about net unrealized depreciation, mega backdoor Roth strategies, and pension-to-401k transitions. Bogart became the expert HR departments wish they had—then gave that expertise... | 53m 35s | ||||||
| 10/28/25 | 50% Growth Every Year | Don Wenner's Elite System | Don Wenner spent a full day one-on-one with Jim Collins. What he learned about the Flywheel and 20 Mile March principle drove 50% compounded growth for 19 years. This isn't theory. Don built DLP Capital from zero to nearly $1 billion with 1,000 employees across real estate, banking, and impact investing. He made the Inc. 500 list 13 consecutive years while integrating faith, family, and profit. What makes this conversation different?: - The hiring system behind 7 interviews per week for a ... | 49m 01s | ||||||

Today, he: - Mediates... | 2h 08m 43s | ||||||

True story: Vineer Bhansali was supposed to fail. Kid from nowhere India. No connections. No money. His dad worked for the railways. But when he missed his train to take the SAT, he didn't go home.
