When the stock market dips, most people slip straight into scarcity mindset without even noticing.

And here’s the wild part: when fear takes over, your IQ actually drops.

Research shows you lose about 15% of your cognitive abilities, 20% of your working memory, and you become more impulsive and reactive.

In this episode, I break down the three mental states every investor slips into: Reptile, Autopilot and Visionary.

I share why staying out of the reptile state is one of the biggest wealth advantages you can create for yourself.

You'll learn:

I also share real-world examples from Rupert Murdoch, Jeff Bezos and even 11-year-old Warren Buffett to show how visionary thinking can carry you through uncertainty.

If you’ve ever felt yourself panicking during market drops, questioning everything or wanting to hit the sell button, this episode will help you build the mindset that supports sustainable wealth and true freedom.

Did Michael Burry — the investor behind The Big Short — actually shut down his fund?

In this episode, we break down the real story behind Scion Asset Management’s sudden deregistration and why Burry is choosing to step away from public markets at a time when AI stocks are dominating the S&P 500.

Burry has warned about inflated earnings, aggressive accounting, and a level of market concentration we haven’t seen in years. But behind the headlines is also the human story — the pressure, the experience from 2005–2008, and why managing other people’s money during a bubble can be almost impossible.

We explore:

• Why Scion’s SEC termination matters

Whether you admire Michael Burry or disagree with him, one thing is clear: when he goes quiet, he’s usually thinking — and positioning — for what’s ahead.

If you’re serious about investing, risk, and financial freedom, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

Everyone’s talking about AI, and markets look unstoppable.

But what does the data say?

The Shiller PE is above 41, the Buffett Indicator is near 225 pct., and just ten mega-cap stocks now make up 42 pct. of the S&P 500.

The numbers are actually insane. 

We’ll look at:

- NVIDIA’s valuation (did you know they are worth 2 Canadas right now?)

- The Hindenburg Omen that was triggered this week

- The Berkshire Hathaway warning system (when they underperform)

Most importantly, we’ll talk about what you should actually do right now — how to protect your portfolio without panicking, and how to focus on wonderful companies trading below their real value.

That’s what Francisco Parames said when I saw him speak at a European Value Investor conference.

What if you’d bought the Mona Lisa 500 years ago? Would that have been a good investment?

In this episode, I explore Warren Buffett’s famous “Mona Lisa math” — his way of showing why art, gold, and even crypto don’t qualify as real investments. Using a simple story about a painting and the power of compounding, Buffett explains what separates productive assets like companies from non-productive ones that just sit there looking beautiful.

I also share my own story of buying art after the financial crisis and what it taught me about what creates true wealth.

You’ll learn how to think like a value investor, how to calculate what an asset is really worth, and why compounding is the single most powerful force in wealth building.

Are dividend stocks secretly holding you back from building real wealth? In this episode, I break down the truth behind dividends, and why they might not be the safe path everyone thinks they are.

Many investors love dividends because they feel tangible — money in the account, proof that investing works. But here’s the problem: what feels safe often comes at the cost of growth. Dividends can be a sign of maturity, limited opportunities, and slower compounding.

In this conversation, I share:

Why dividend kings like Colgate and Altria aren’t necessarily great investments

The hidden tax and compounding cost of dividend payouts

Why share buybacks often beat dividends when it comes to long-term wealth

If your goal is to build wealth instead of just feeling safe, you’ll want to hear this.

In this episode, I dive into Warren Buffett’s way of thinking — the mindset that made him one of the world’s greatest investors. It’s not about quick trades or chasing the latest trend. It’s about long-term patience, emotional control, and independent thinking.

I share 10 principles that shape how Buffett makes decisions, from treating time as his most valuable asset to protecting reputation at all costs. Along the way, I bring in stories from Coca-Cola, See’s Candies, Goldman Sachs, and Salomon Brothers — examples that show exactly how he applies these principles in practice.

Some highlights you’ll hear:

Why temperament is 80 pct. of investment success — and how Buffett used calm thinking to strike billion-dollar deals in the middle of a crisis.

The power of staying inside your circle of competence and why knowing what you don’t know can be your greatest edge.

How Buffett treats time as a non-renewable asset, protecting it more fiercely than his billions.

This episode is about more than investing. It’s about building a mindset for wealth and freedom — the kind you can use in business, your career, and your personal life.
