Invest Like a Boss

While not a traditional money investment, we focus on what may be the most important investment tool you have - your mind! Sam's Kadampa (Tibetan Buddhism) mentor and U.S. National Spiritual Director for the Kadampa Meditation Center. They discuss multiple topics including mindset, happiness, disposition and how to find peace and love in your mind. Then Sam and Derek talk how this relates to their current states in life and discuss how you can take advantage of this practice as well.

In this episode, we are discussing merger arbitrage opportunities, specifically on a stock that Sam & Derek personally own. We've been talking about Matterport since the metaverse series in 2021, and finally the stock had some life pumped back into it after a takeover offer from CoStar Group in April. Is this a good opportunity to jump in on the deal? We discuss with guest Collin Brantmeyer from the Motely Fool. Then Sam and Derek put in place plans on how they'll try and take advantage of this potential win from a stock that's been a major dog in the portfolio.

Matthew 'Whiz' Buckley of Top Gun Options & No Fallen Heroes Foundation speaks with Sam about his many interesting lives! Buckley served in the U.S. Navy's elite "Top Gun" flight program (including on 9/11), then left the military to work in the financial markets. He really found his niche in options and made enough in the 2020 downturn to be independently wealthy. Around the same time as finding financial success, Matthew also discovered the healing power of psychedelics and their potential to help struggling first responders - this gave way to his No Fallen Heroes Foundation. Enjoy this interesting conversation on flying, drugs and trading options! Afterwards, Sam & Derek opine on why they haven't dug into options trading until just now thanks to a nudge from Buckley.

Served during Operations Southern Watch, Noble Eagle, and Enduring Freedom, flying combat sorties over Iraq from USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Kitty Hawk.
