Mo News x Money Rehab: Ray Dalio on Markets, Money, and What Matters Most
In this special crossover episode with the Money Rehab podcast, we feature journalist Nicole Lapin’s latest wide-ranging conversation with legendary investor Ray Dalio—founder of Bridgewater Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund.
Dalio shares his take on navigating today’s economic chaos—rising inflation, interest rate shifts, and global instability—and why these moments, while stressful, follow patterns we can learn from. He breaks down the principles that have guided his investing success and explains how to think long-term through any financial cycle.
This episode goes beyond the markets. Dalio also opens up about grief, happiness, and the limits of what money can buy. He reflects on personal loss, his definition of success, and the lessons he hopes to pass on to future generations.

The Interview: Why Nothing Works In America - Marc Dunkelman On How Democrats Lost The Ability To Do Things
With Republicans in power across all branches of the federal government, Democrats are looking for ways to regain trust and learn how to build things. One book they’re looking toward is Marc Dunkelman’s: Why Nothing Works: Who Killed Progress―and How to Bring It Back.
In this episode, Marc joins Mosheh to discuss how the Democratic distrust of power since the 1960s has led to stagnation and public distrust, paving the way for Donald Trump’s election as someone who promises to make things actually happen. He explains how we got from the era of Robert Moses reshaping New York and FDR’s New Deal, to a modern day with infrastructure in disrepair nationwide.
Plus, some broader historical context: how the dueling mindsets at the heart of progressivism—a need for strong executive action and a mistrust of power— reflects a broader American conflict that goes all the way back to the days of Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton.
