Mike interviews Dan Nicholson.

"Rigging the Game: How to Achieve Financial Certainty, Navigate Risk, and Make Money on Your Own Terms" by Dan Nicholson is a groundbreaking book that challenges conventional wisdom and offers a fresh perspective on achieving financial success. In this insightful guide, Nicholson provides readers with practical strategies and proven techniques for taking control of their financial future, navigating market uncertainty, and building wealth on their own terms.

Drawing upon his years of experience as a financial advisor and entrepreneur, Nicholson reveals the hidden forces at play in the world of finance and exposes the myths and misconceptions that often hold people back from achieving their financial goals. With a clear and concise writing style, he demystifies complex financial concepts and provides readers with a roadmap for achieving financial certainty in an uncertain world.

One of the key themes of "Rigging the Game" is the importance of taking personal responsibility for one's financial future. Nicholson argues that traditional financial advice often overlooks the role of individual agency and instead promotes a one-size-fits-all approach to investing and wealth-building. In contrast, he empowers readers to take control of their financial destiny by providing them with the knowledge and tools they need to make informed decisions and take calculated risks.

Throughout the book, Nicholson emphasizes the importance of understanding risk and reward and teaches readers how to assess their risk tolerance and develop a personalized investment strategy that aligns with their goals and values. He offers practical advice on asset allocation, portfolio diversification, and risk management, helping readers build a solid foundation for long-term financial success.

In addition to providing readers with practical investment strategies, "Rigging the Game" also delves into the psychological aspects of investing and offers insights into the mindset and behaviors that lead to success. Nicholson explores the role of emotions, biases, and cognitive errors in decision-making and provides readers with strategies for overcoming common pitfalls and staying disciplined in the face of market volatility.

One of the most compelling aspects of "Rigging the Game" is Nicholson's emphasis on financial independence and freedom. He argues that true wealth is not just about accumulating money but about achieving financial security and freedom to live life on one's own terms. Whether it's retiring early, starting a business, or pursuing a passion project, Nicholson shows readers how to use their financial resources to create the life they want.

With its practical advice, insightful analysis, and empowering message, "Rigging the Game" is a must-read for anyone who wants to take control of their financial future and achieve financial certainty in an uncertain world. Whether you're a seasoned investor or a novice just starting out, this book will provide you with the knowledge and tools you need to succeed in today's complex and ever-changing financial landscape. So, join us as we dive into "Rigging the Game" and discover how to achieve financial certainty, navigate risk, and make money on your own terms.

Originally broadcast Summer 2021.

When Kirra McLoughlin died her boyfriend said she must have overdosed on prescription drugs. That didn't explain the over one hundred bruises on her body however. And yet, nobody has been charged with Kirra's death.  

That didn't sit well with Jamie Pultz. He had met Kirra once at his former job, back when he was a police officer in Queensland Australia.  When he heard that Kirra had died and nobody had been held accountable, he decided to do something about it.  

This is the third installment of our summer series about mysterious crimes and disappearances from around the globe and the people who fight to get justice for victims and their families.

Introducing Disappearing Acts: Mary Carleton from Womanica.

Follow the show: Womanica

Mary Carleton (c.1634-1673) was a fraudster who posed as a German princess to marry a man she thought was a lord. When his family discovered her true identity, she was put on trial for bigamy – a trial that catapulted her to fame. 

For Further Reading: 

Historically, women have been told to make themselves smaller, to diminish themselves. Some have used that idea to their advantage, disappearing into new identities. For others, a disappearance was the end to their stories, but the beginning of a new chapter in their legacies. This month we’re telling the stories of these women: we’re talking about disappearing acts.

History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn’t help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should.

Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we’ll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures.

Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Lindsey Kratochwill, Adesuwa Agbonile, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Sara Schleede, Paloma Moreno Jimenez, Luci Jones and Abbey Delk. Special thanks to Shira Atkins.Original theme music composed by Miles Moran.
