  • Investing: The Benefits of Automated Rules-Based Financial Systems

    Summary Notes:

    Money is information that is communicated through an economy. Every 50 or so years, the system gets smarter.  In 1913, the Federal Reserve stepped in to create a distributed banking system. The Euro dollar banking system was outside of the US and was an informal bank network that linked the world's financial systems that started around the 1960s ish.  This led to the Blockchain based financial system that was built after 2008, starting with Bitcoin. Bitcoin and Ethereum are both rules-based monetary systems that are programmed and can't be changed by a centralized group. Anybody can plug into the system and become a validator, and if a rule is broken, you lose your money. Staking is when validators put up money to support the system and get rewards for verifying transactions.


    Validators on the Ethereum blockchain receive rewards in ETH for verifying transactions. The more ETH a validator has, the more lottery tickets they can buy, increasing their chances of winning. The winner gets to propose a new block of transactions, but if they cheat they lose their tickets and ETH stake. This system is an automated way to enforce rules, and is more transparent than a traditional financial system, as everyone can look into the blockchain to see what is happening.

  • Real Estate: How wealth families buy homes

    Summary notes:

    Many real estate buyers and sellers are stuck in the mindset of what the market was like 5 or 10 years ago when they last had a transaction. Buyers and sellers should not be basing future value off of past data.  The key to aligning the everyday buyer with a home that matches what they are looking for is getting to the essence of what they want which at its core is likely long-term profitability, safety, abundance, and having their children educated well.

    Everything is energy.  Energy intelligence responds to the same laws regardless of form.  When we think negative thoughts about money, then we can't be equal (in Harmony) with money in our Life Experience.  That relationship must be healed for more money to flow into our Experience.

  • Tax planning: IRS penalties for putting too much money into a Roth IRA

    Summary notes:

    Roth and Traditional IRAs are special trust accounts allowed by the IRS to promote financial security for Americans in their non working years later in life.  To incentivize tax payers to contribute, they allow special tax benefits as long the specific rules are followed.  When those rules are broken, even if accidentally, there are penalties that can add up over time.  

     

    Alison and Phillip discuss those rules and penalties on this episode.

  • Investing Opportunities around the $39 Billion CHIPs and Science Act

    Summary notes:

    • The Act provides grant money for semiconductor companies to build chip manufacturing plants here
  • Why? AI is the future and Data is the new oil.  Computer chips are like neurons in the human brain. Neurons are the cells that process and transmit information through electrical, optical, and chemical signals.  The more neurons (or chips) you have, the more intelligence you have access to.  
  • Right now the world mostly gets their chips mostly from Taiwan which is right next to China and likely will get absorbed into China like Hong Kong.  
  • It would not be wise to allow China to be in charge of providing the Neurons (chips) for the brains of competing economies.  They could literally retard the US growth at will if they wanted.

  • Business: Unlocking the full value of your business Part 2

    Summary notes:

    In this conversation, Alison and Phillip discuss how to exit a business. They mention three common ways to do so: selling it to a third party, doing a merger and acquisition, or selling it to a family member. They also discuss what one should consider when selling their business, such as making it as automated as possible, taking advantage of chat AI and other technology, building a great team, and having systems in place to ensure that clients will stay on once they buy the business. They also recommend that one should start thinking about their exit plan when they start their business, and not wait until a year and a half before they want to sell.
