What if everything you’ve been told about getting ahead financially isn’t actually true? In this Level Up episode, Lo sits down with historian, investor and bestselling author Dr. Joseph S. Moore, whose book How to Get Rich in American History: 300 Years of Financial Advice That Worked (& Didn’t) looks at what centuries of American history can teach us about building wealth today. They unpack why buying a home isn’t always the smartest investment, what the ultra-wealthy understand about money that the rest of us often don’t, why women may actually be better investors, and the surprising story of a First Lady whose financial moves deserve a place in the history books.

Lo and Joseph come to the table with very different views on capitalism, inequality and the economy, but what starts as a conversation between two opposing perspectives becomes something much more interesting. From crypto and get-rich-quick schemes to the American Dream, economic anxiety and the cycles America has survived before, this episode asks whether looking backward might actually be the secret to moving forward. Turns out you can disagree about capitalism, learn a few things from each other…and somehow leave as friends.

This week, Lo is pressing pause on the Level Up series for a much-needed catch-up with you. He’s going solo to unpack a date that requires the Lo Lifers to be his collective voice of reason, an internet rabbit hole he can’t stop thinking about, and his adventures at Daisy Chain Music Festival with Olivia Rodrigo, Stevie Nicks and, somehow… diapers. There’s a lot to discuss.

Lo also unpacks the loss of Dolly Parton impacting millions around the world and why saying goodbye to this particular icon hit much closer to home than he expected. Dolly always reminded Lo of his Nana, his very own Mexican Dolly Parton, and losing her brought back a wave of grief and memories he wasn’t prepared for. It’s a celebration of Dolly’s extraordinary life, wit, generosity and global impact, but also a conversation about the people who remind us of home and why losing someone can make us miss someone else all over again. Come for the dating debrief and diapers, stay for Dolly. Buckle up, puta… we have a lot to catch up on.
