“Show me the money!” In Jerry Maguire, it was a rallying cry. In the digital age, it’s a warning. Every swipe of your debit or credit card turns into financial exhaust — a trail of transactions banks and data brokers package, re-identify, and sell to the highest bidder. They’re not just watching your balance; they’re watching you.

In this Kansas City–forged edition of Burn Notice: A Smoke Signal Podcast, James W., the Pitmaster of Intel, brings his best from the Show-Me State — proving that if you want real financial privacy, you’ve got to demand it. Together with AI hosts Ian and Ainsley, he lays out the countermeasures: how to opt out of data grabs, lock down bank settings, and stop your purchases from becoming someone else’s profit engine.

Because in the fight to control your financial exhaust, it’s not enough to earn money. You’ve got to show it who’s boss.
