Financial headlines are always going to be scary, but there's money to be made in any economy. That's my biggest takeaway from sitting down with Ray Dalio. He started investing at twelve, built Bridgewater into one of the biggest hedge funds on the planet, and made more money for his clients than any hedge fund manager alive. I don't get starstruck often, but I couldn't play it cool with this one.



Today I'm sharing the moments from our conversation that I'm still thinking about. I break down Ray's view of how money and debt really work, why he thinks the U.S. has a lot of "plaque" in its financial arteries, and what that means for the buying power in your bank account. Then I get into the investing strategy Ray is famous for, including the one asset he loves that another billionaire I had on the show said he has no opinion on.

Bill Ackman called the 2008 financial crisis years before Wall Street did, and he built one of the most legendary trades in modern investing along the way. Today, Nicole breaks down the money lessons from her sit-down with Bill that she can't stop thinking about, and why they matter for your portfolio even if you don't run a hedge fund.



She unpacks the "durable compounder" philosophy Bill uses to find unkillable businesses, and how Warren Buffett has influenced his strategy. Then things get cautionary: Bill's blunt warning about borrowing against your stocks, the margin call math that can crush you, and his take on the one-day options trend flooding retail trading apps.

I'm going to sound an alarm today about the least sexy topic in finance: the bond market. Stick with me, because this one lands directly in your wallet. Over the past few weeks, investors have been dumping U.S. government bonds, and the 10-year Treasury yield just hit its highest level in years. That one number is quietly driving up your mortgage rate, your car loan, and your credit card, whether you ever buy a bond or not.

I break down what a bond actually is (spoiler: it's just an IOU), the biggest myth I hear constantly about the Fed and your mortgage rate, and the real reasons investors are suddenly nervous about lending Uncle Sam money.

WTF is Going on in the Bond Market?!

Brian Armstrong is the CEO and co-founder of Coinbase, the largest crypto exchange in the U.S. and the first crypto company to crack the S&P 500. He joins Nicole on the exact day Congress failed to pass the Clarity Act, a bill Coinbase has spent millions lobbying for, to break down what it actually means for anyone who owns crypto, or even just an index fund.


Brian explains why he still believes regulatory clarity for crypto is coming either way, what percentage of a portfolio he thinks should be in Bitcoin, and the real difference between how the SEC and CFTC would police your crypto investments. He also digs into the fight with big banks over stablecoin rewards, why he thinks the bank lobby are trying to kill competition, and his ongoing rivalry with Jamie Dimon.

Where Crypto Goes From Here Without The Clarity Act, According to Coinbase's Brian Armstrong

Maye Musk is a model, dietician, and author. But before any of that success, she was 50 years old, newly single, and unable to make rent. Today, Maye joins Nicole to talk about her new memoir, Timeless, and the financial reinvention that came after everything fell apart.

Maye opens up about the financial abuse she experienced in her first marriage, including how her ex-husband removed her signing rights from their joint account and took her savings, and why she still advises women to keep some money of their own, no matter how it might be received. She shares what it was like starting over in a new city with almost nothing, working her way back from a $2,000-a-month apartment she could barely afford, and the confidence it took to build two entirely new careers from scratch in her 50s.

Then, Maye and Nicole get into why she didn't become a full-time model until her 60s, how she reframes aging as an asset instead of something to hide, and the mindset that let her keep saying yes to jobs, rejection, and reinvention well past the age most people consider their prime.

Here's what Nicole covers with Maye:

 00:00 Maye's Life Starting Over at 50

 02:00 Not Being Able to Pay Rent for the First Time

 06:38 Escaping a Financially Abusive Marriage

 08:41 Why Maye Advocates for Women Having Their Own Bank Account

 11:02 Starting Over With Nothing

 21:45 Confidence, Rejection, and Getting to "One Out of 20"

 23:04 Becoming a Full-Time Model at 60

 26:36 Why Age Became an Asset, Not a Liability

 27:11 Having to Stop Her Practice as Her Fame Grew

 37:31 Tip You Can Take Straight to the Bank
