China is one of only major world powers that has somehow integrated communism and capitalism - two ideas traditionally thought to be incompatible, even the antithesis of each other. Their economy can truly be considered a modern marvel, having grown exponentially over the course of just 50 years.  But it's not all good: their economy has fluctuations like all others. And with unlimited power of the government to intervene, what will be the result?  It won't work the same as other countries. But just like here, they are experiencing an economic slowdown, though from different causes. Their unemployment is high, banks are lowering interest rates, and the overall outlook has changed. So, what's happening with China?

On Wednesday, 9/20/23, the Federal Reserve decided to hold rates steady while indicating expectations of one more hike before the end of the year. Although we are seeing a steadying of inflation, it still continues to grow. I invited my friend, J Scott, who is a fellow podcaster, author, and real estate investor, to join us and explain what this means for the future of real estate, investing, and our economy as a whole. We will discuss how this affects individuals across the entire spectrum of the economy and delve into past trends, examining how individuals and business owners have been historically affected.

Devon Kennard's successful NFL career have him an unique perspective about money: he was now the stereotypical athlete that made a lot of money and had the ability to spend it in an instant. But he refused to take part in this stereotype. He was determined to invest his money, and then use the passive income on the things he wanted.  He wanted to KEEP the money he made. "Be careful trying to label what 'wealthy' looks like. We all value things differently." - snapshot from Devon"s twitter: DK (@DevonKennard) / X (twitter.com) We apologize for the audio in this episode, the content was so good we still wanted to get it out to you.

Starting out in real estate can be daunting. One of the first steps is to choose a market you want to invest in. There are many Midwestern, midsized markets that are being affected by higher interest rates. How will it react? Date the rate, marry the house - this is Craig Curelop's strategy, which he has used to acquire over 100 deals in his first year, now at approximately $100M+ in deals per year.

Investing opportunities are everywhere in the US. There is so much access to monetary and other support systems - and the opportunity might not be here for long.  Today we're talking with Alfonso Cuadra, who is an immigrant, international investor and asset owner. We're outlining some of the different challenges and differences between North American countries and others abroad. The sacrifice his family had to make to come to North America was tremendous, but is the new opportunity enough to pay that off? I saw this in Brazil, he's seen it in El Salvador. Poverty is real. So why does the average Joe in America has more opportunity than a vast majority of the world's population?

Entrepreneurs made the world what it is today, will they take us to the next stage? Just one generation ago, being an entrepreneur was laughable. You had to buy a brick and mortar building, buy inventory, and spend hours in a library researching. Now, all of that has changed. You can start a website, sell online services, and find answers in a matter of seconds using Google and AI.  What’s the IMPACT of your life? Of your work? That’s what differentiates a corporate 9 to 5 job and a successful entrepreneur’s business. As you grow and scale, you can leave your own mark on the world, help people, and solve problems. And you can SEE the change yourself. Your contributions are not so far detached from your own personal goals.

The market will either make you or break you. We can't predict when it will or what it'll do, but we can look at the patterns and be prepared.  In this episode, I dive into my investing thesis - what do I look for in an industry that spurs me to invest? What are the indicators that tell me, is this a good investment or not? Also, we discuss protectionism.  Protectionism is the practice of a government supporting an industry when it fails. When the market decides a company needs to die out, it will naturally take place. When the government intervenes, it results in a protected field where failure is impossible.  Find this podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SavingCapitalism Get more free resources here: https://ajosborne.com/ Want to take advantage of todays market conditions with us?

If you met Elton John or Elon Musk, what would you ask them?  No seriously, would you ask them about the weather? What their "number 1" tip for success is? What book they would recommend? Or would it be better to find out who they are as a person, their philosophies, or how they create and manage relationships? That's exactly what Steve Sims did. He set out to learn why you can work JUST as hard as the "successful" people, but their RESULTS were so much better. He's asking the important questions in the rooms with important people. And he's here to share with you what he's learned.  Find this podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SavingCapitalism Get more free resources here: https://ajosborne.com/ Want to take advantage of todays market conditions with us?
