Beyond Stocks & Bonds: Kim Flynn Shows Retail Investors the Real Game

🔓 Episode Summary

For decades, the best investment opportunities have been locked behind a velvet rope marked "Accredited Investors Only." While institutional investors and the ultra-wealthy have been quietly building fortunes through private equity, hedge funds, venture capital, and commercial real estate, everyday investors have been stuck with mutual funds and ETFs.

Not anymore.

In this game-changing episode, Jason and James sit down with Kim Flynn from XA Investments to pull back the curtain on alternative investments and reveal how retail investors can finally access the strategies that Wall Street has kept to itself. From real estate syndications to private credit, from venture capital to commodities—Kim breaks down what alternative investments actually are, why they matter, and most importantly, how regular investors can get in the game.

If you've ever felt like the financial system was rigged against you, this episode is your playbook for fighting back.
