One of the hardest questions to answer is “how do you make more money?” Right alongside that is “who should I work with?” and “what projects are really worth my time, energy, money, and social capital?”
To help me answer these questions, I’ve brought on the perfect guest and a dear friend, Lior Weinstein. Lior is a visionary serial entrepreneur and technology enthusiast. He’s built and exited multiple tech companies, starting his first one at age 14, developed mobile apps and web services used by millions globally, published multiple patents on AI, blockchain, and machine learning, and now he’s the founder of a company called CTOx. He has a deep-seated passion for philosophy and human behavior.
Today, we are discussing several philosophies and ideas that will change how you think about your money, your time, and who you spend both of these limited resources on.

Novel experiences shape the brain and foster mental agility. At the same time, routines lead to better efficiency and productivity.
So how can you balance the “novel and new” with the “old and repeatable?”
In this episode, Steph and Albert reveal how they strategically leverage their routines, while also leaving time to engage in spontaneous, high-stress, or challenging ventures.
They also address what this means for older and/or retired people who lose their mental acuity as they age. They talk about the role of elders in different cultures, and how these elders don’t "retire" in the conventional sense but instead serve as an essential source of knowledge and leadership for the community - a practice that may help them stay mentally sharp.

Brandon Joe Williams is the founder of onestupidfuck.com, founder of the Contract Killer Course, a podcast host, an author, a king of sarcasm, and an actual king of the nation called The Amnesty Coalition. Brandon specializes in breaking down complex legal systems.
Today, he joins me to discuss several topics that will make you question the foundations of the government, our banks, and how money works.
