The Millionaire Playbook Just Got an Upgrade + Live Q&A

Nov 11, 2026100h

This episode is a book-launch and live Q&A show with no direct stock recommendations; the hosts discuss saving, career-change timing, car financing and housing, and react to headlines. The most market-relevant commentary concerns the AI-driven equity selloff: Brian Preston flags NVIDIA national-security concerns and political risk around data centers but expects long-term US tech leadership to prevail, while Bo Hanson says he ignores daily volatility and keeps buying. They also view softer housing data as a buyer's opportunity and flag record-high car payments as a wealth destroyer.

Positions · 1

• 42:22Broad US equities (market index)LongBo says he ignores daily swings and stays a perpetual buyer, letting markets move up and to the right over the long term. — Bo Hanson–
  Why this trade

  “I don't care if it's down 1,800 points a day... I am someone who's gonna always be buying” — Bo Hanson

  1. Claims markets go up and down but over the long term move up into the right.
  2. Therefore he never times entries and always keeps buying.
  3. Resulting stance: stay invested regardless of 1,800-point Dow moves.

Ideas · 2

• 41:15NVDALongBrian treats the NVIDIA national-security scare and anti-AI/data-center politics as noise that will likely prove 'much ado about nothing,' keeping the US tech edge intact long term. — Brian Preston-9.7% since episode
  Why this trade

  “the poster child for what's driving, especially here in The United States, is that we have an... A technology edge” — Brian Preston

  1. Claims US must stay on the cutting edge of AI and policy fears will fade once security experts weigh in.
  2. NVIDIA is the 'poster child' driving US technology leadership.
  3. Conclusion: AI selloff is a teaching moment, not a reason to sell long-term tech exposure.
• 44:39US housing market (homeownership)LongWith buyers pulling back and sellers anchored, Brian sees a proactive buyer's opportunity to hunt for deals below asking in the housing market. — Brian Preston–
  Why this trade

  “if I'm a buyer in this marketplace, you gotta be proactive... offer a price that's well below what they're asking” — Brian Preston

  1. Says buyers have had enough while sellers anchor on Zillow/Redfin values and sub-4% mortgages.
  2. That imbalance favors selective buyers able to negotiate.
  3. Advises offering well below asking to find the 'needle in the haystack.'

We Had 5 Minutes To Help These Strangers With Money

Nov 6, 2026220h

In this episode Brian Preston and Bo Hanson attempt five-minute financial plans for strangers on the street, focused on budgeting, debt payoff and the Financial Order of Operations rather than security selection. The only market-adjacent views are cautionary: Bitcoin is deemed too volatile to serve as an emergency fund and better suited as a late (step eight) priority, while broad low-cost S&P 500 index funds are suggested for long-term retirement dollars. No specific stocks, ETFs or private companies were recommended by name.

Positions · 2

• 5:33BTCAvoidBitcoin is fine as a late-stage asset but too volatile to be an emergency reserve; build traditional investments first and diversify away from crypto career risk. — Brian Preston–
  Why this trade

  “Bitcoin is too volatile to be considered an emergency reserve.” — Brian Preston

  1. Hosts say Bitcoin's price swings make it unsuitable for cash reserves that need liquidity without risk of principal loss.
  2. Mike's entire savings sit in Bitcoin while working at a Bitcoin company, doubling exposure to the crypto market.
  3. They advise pausing the $5/day Bitcoin buys until credit cards and emergency cash are handled; Bitcoin belongs at step eight of the FOO.
• 9:01S&P 500 low-cost index fundLongDollars invested in a low-cost S&P 500 index fund inside a 401(k) or Roth IRA can multiply roughly 18x by retirement for a 32-year-old. — Bo Hanson–
  Why this trade

  “in something besides Bitcoin and like a low cost index fund, S and P 500, it has the ability to turn to $18 by the time he retires” — Bo Hanson

  1. Bo cites an $18 wealth multiplier for a 32-year-old on each dollar invested.
  2. They recommend traditional, diversified low-cost index exposure rather than Bitcoin for retirement accounts.
  3. The trade is steady automated contributions to broad index funds via 401(k)/Roth/backdoor Roth and after-tax brokerage.

BREAKING: New Fed Data Reveals How Your Money Compare To Others Your Age

Nov 4, 2026268h

The episode reviews new Federal Reserve household-finance data and answers personal-finance questions; there are no direct buy/sell calls on individual stocks or ETFs. The closest actionable investment commentary is a negative stance on gold as a non-productive, carry-cost asset, a general endorsement of owning broad market index funds like the S&P 500, and passing remarks on Tesla (not a luxury brand; bullish on full self-driving) made by a host who discloses he owns one.

Positions · 2

• 39:08GGOLDAvoidGold doesn't create value, generates no income and carries storage/transaction costs; it only rises if someone pays more later. — Bo Hanson-5.4% since episode
  Why this trade

  “It doesn't do anything. It doesn't create any value. The only thing that makes gold more valuable is if the person who comes behind you is willing to pay more for it” — Bo Hanson

  1. Hosts argue gold is a precious metal that produces nothing and 'doesn't do anything' economically.
  2. Ownership costs (storage, transactions, no interest or rent) eat into returns versus productive assets.
  3. Therefore they would avoid gold as a core investment despite its popularity.
• 23:31SSPXLongRather than trying to beat the market, be the market: owning simple S&P 500 exposure harnesses compounding and accelerating innovation over time. — Brian Preston-1.7% since episode
  Why this trade

  “just show the beauty of what just investing in something simple like the S and P five hundred can do” — Brian Preston

  1. Brian advises the eighth-grade audience to embrace 'being the market' instead of beating it.
  2. He points to the long-run compounding of the S&P 500 and the law of accelerating returns.
  3. Conclusion: owning broad U.S. index exposure is the simple way to build wealth over time.

Ideas · 1

• 58:57TSLALongTesla isn't a luxury brand but a technology play; the Roadster event raised the bar for what's possible and makes full self-driving more plausible. — Brian Preston+0.9% since episode
  Why this trade

  “I own one, so I I have a conflict of interest... if you haven't gone and experienced full self driving, I would encourage you go check it out” — Brian Preston

  1. Brian argues the flying-car/Roadster demonstration 'moved the needle' on perceived technical feasibility.
  2. That reframes Tesla as a technology-driven auto company rather than a luxury brand.
  3. He discloses owning a Tesla and encourages people to experience full self-driving, a favorable (if non-explicit) stance.

Financial Advisors React to Outrageous Money Clips

Nov 2, 2026316h

The episode is a React-format review of money clips with no genuine stock, ETF or asset recommendations; the hosts focus on behavioral finance—avoiding financing consumption, auditing fund expense ratios and tax-loss harvesting, and buying depreciated used cars rather than new ones. The only asset-adjacent commentary is on Tesla vehicle depreciation and the value of its hardware generations, not on Tesla equity. No actionable long, short or avoid calls on tradable securities are made.

Oct 30, 2026389h

This episode is purely a survey-based personal finance discussion about the habits of the show's 'financial mutants' audience — savings rates, net worth, home and car buying, credit card use, and optimism. No host or guest makes any buy, sell, short, or avoid call on a specific stock, ETF, or other tradable asset; there is no actionable market view to report.

Do You Actually Need Private Equity to Become Wealthy?

Oct 28, 2026437h

Positions · 2

• 18:19S&P 500 / Total US Market Index FundsLongFor everyday investors the low-cost S&P 500 and total market index funds are the proven engine, and they 'are going to crush it for you' in employer plans and Roth IRAs rather than private equity. — Speaker 2–
  Why this trade

  “The S&P, the total market indexes, those things are going to crush it for you.” — Speaker 2

  1. Hosts argue private equity's edge is cherry-picked, fee-heavy and illiquid, so the transparent liquid alternative wins for most investors.
  2. Brian says in step two free money and funding the 401(k)/Roth, 'the S&P, the total market indexes' will outperform.
  3. Resulting trade: stay long broad low-cost index funds and treat private equity as a later add-on, not a replacement.
• 18:42Private equity (asset class / funds)AvoidThey warn private equity is fee-heavy (2-and-20), illiquid (7-10 years), opaque and survivorship-biased, so retail investors shouldn't just buy it because access was lowered to $2,500. — Speaker 2–
  Why this trade

  “Just because they lower the threshold to $2,500 ... doesn't mean you should.” — Speaker 2

  1. Hosts claim Robbins' 39-straight-year stat is cherry-picked and private equity underperforms the S&P over the last 1, 3 and 5 years.
  2. They cite low liquidity, excessive fees and lack of transparency as structural cons.
  3. Resulting trade: avoid allocating until after step 7 (25% savings), and only add deliberately at step 8.

Ideas · 1

• 45:23SPCXAvoidHosts call SpaceX shares 'like a lottery ticket' and note it's only accessible via private/illiquid channels, not a recommendation to buy. — Speaker 3-7.9% since episode
  Why this trade

  “It's like a lottery ticket. It's not about what it's worth today.” — Speaker 3

  1. Guest example frames SpaceX as a company only reachable through private equity historically.
  2. Hosts describe a share as a lottery ticket, about what it could be worth, not what it's worth today.
  3. No actionable entry point is recommended; discussed for education only.

The Truth About Starting a New Career in Your 30s

Oct 26, 2026485h

This episode is a financial-planning case study with a young couple, not a market commentary: hosts Brian Preston and Bo Hanson coach Brad and Haley through a career change (Brad training as an advisor), cash-flow triage, and retirement projections. There are no stock, ETF, or asset calls—only generic advice to keep Haley's employer 401(k) match/profit-sharing (worth about 9.5% of pay) and otherwise stack cash. The sole tradable-instrument tie is incidental: LPL Financial is mentioned as the broker-dealer sponsoring Brad, but no investment view is expressed.

Ideas · 1

• 15:16LPLALongMentioned only as the broker-dealer platform Brad's mentor operates under; the hosts treat it neutrally as a hybrid RIA/broker model, with no buy/sell view. — Brad–
  Why this trade

  “I have a guy who is a part of LPL, and he is sponsoring me.” — Brad

  1. Brad says his sponsoring advisor is 'a part of LPL' and LPL is his support system.
  2. This is a factual affiliation mention, not a claim about LPL's business or valuation.
  3. No resulting trade is recommended; captured only as an incidental listed-company reference.

Average Debt By Age (2026 Edition)

Oct 23, 2026557h

This episode is a personal-finance discussion of average debt by generation (Gen Z, millennials, Gen X) and how to avoid debt pitfalls; there are no stock, ETF or asset calls. The hosts recommend broad, non-security practices like following the Financial Order of Operations, saving in the S&P 500, avoiding credit card balances, and prioritization thresholds for paying down debt. They briefly mention car brands (Honda, Toyota, Acura) only as examples in personal anecdotes, not investment recommendations.
