  • 40 - Episode 40: AI Coworkers In Finance

    We talk about how AI is being used across the industry from roboadvisors to algorithms improving loans faster and more accurately than human underwriters. We discuss the collaboration premium, whether or not you would trust AI with your own money, problems AI might create, and the trust dilemma: At what point in a financial decision would you personally stop trusting AI output and demand a human? Where is that line and why?

  • 39 - Episode 39: Institutional Tokenization In Private Markets

    Institutional tokenization in private markets has exploded in scale, but the biggest promise driving institutional adoption remains largely theoretical. While billions of dollars of assets have been brought on-chain, most tokenized RWA tokens show thin secondary markets and low trading volumes. Moreover, the illiquidity that tokenization promises to eliminate may actually be a feature private market investors depend on. We discuss the private credit market, challenges of tokenizing specific industries in the financial services space as well as Liquidity Illusion.

We dig into why sanctions keep failing, the role cryptocurrency plays, how evasions work through shell entities and front companies as well as the role other countries play in the mechanics of how the money moves. If you have ever wondered how a country cut off from the global financial system still manages to fund proxy wars across the Middle East, this episode is for you.

  • 37 - Episode 37: Michael Burry Shorts the AI Market

    Michael Burry, known for predicting the 2008 housing crash, has taken massive put positions against major AI stocks like Nvidia and Palantir, signaling his belief that the AI sector is in a valuation bubble. He argues that AI-driven companies are overstating earnings by using unrealistically long depreciation schedules for rapidly aging AI hardware, creating an accounting distortion that inflates profits. While Wall Street and tech leaders strongly dispute his claims, Burry believes the combination of hype, speculative behavior, and aggressive accounting mirrors past bubbles. This episode breaks down his thesis, the pushback against it, and what regular investors can learn from his AI short.
