AJ Osborne Podcast

The White House announced that Inflation is down to 3% on a month-to-month basis. Real estate prices are coming down, but not at the rate that was expected. Large hedge funds are STILL pouring millions into the housing market. That goes to say, their strategy has not changed despite the lay offs, interest rates, and high prices.   In this episode, Ryan Pineda and I discuss this topic in detail. What's going on with this crazy economy?  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?

You might've heard that the top 1% is crushing the other 99% of people. Are the ultra wealthy taking over? Social mobility is a measure of movement of people within a country’s socio-economic status. It’s an expression of how easy or difficult it is for one to move up (or down) a social class. That’s why there are sayings like “go to college, get a ‘real’ job,” and “you should be a doctor or lawyer.” When we look at the laws and regulations built in the US, there is an obvious predisposition against those who do not have money. The law assumes that if you have money, you must be smart. And if you don’t have money, you must be stupid - this is not always the case. But this is what’s inherently taught. This might be risky, but I’m bringing Bethany LaFlam, my attorney, on this episode to shed some light into the rules and regulations placed on financial freedom.

How do you break into the world of investing and entrepreneurship? Very few people "make it" by having "rich parents" or being "Harvard geniuses." But they make money somehow. How do they do it? In this episode of Saving Capitalism, we bring together two successful entrepreneurs, Mikey Taylor and AJ Osborne, to discuss their journeys in business, the world of entrepreneurship, and the invaluable role of mentors.  With Mikey's background being a Professional Skateboarder, he was as far removed from entrepreneurship as possible. The learning curve pivoting from your career into investing and generating cashflow is astounding. It takes YEARS of learning and failing and finally figuring it out.  Don't miss this episode! Mikey and AJ share their experiences, the lessons they've learned, and the importance of having mentors who can simplify complex concepts for aspiring entrepreneurs. This is how you can avoid making their mistakes.  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?

Capitalism in America is VASTLY misunderstood. It’s often is treated as a political system - a matter of the left vs the right. News flash, it’s not. It’s also one of the least taught subjects in schools. The education system has failed in an important way: teaching you and me on the basics of the economy and financial well-being. We’re here to change that. Welcome to the first episode of the Saving Capitalism podcast. On this show, we’rer bringing high-value guests on board not to ask them where they're from or what their best one-liner is - we invite guests solely for the purpose of long-form, high-impact discussions. I'm your host, AJ Osborne, and by working together, we can be Saving Capitalism and build a better future for ourselves and our families.

 The world is more divided than ever: we, as humans, are no longer working together. We're so  passionate about being right or being the best that we lose track of our mission. What you want to achieve as a person, family, business, or even country. So, can dialing back our own innate competitiveness help instead of harm? How does this apply to leadership and team building?   Lee Elias is a two time award winning author, and has a long track record of success with the NHL, A&E, NBC, Madison Square Garden, and more.

Success can be found in all sorts of different ways, and its meaning is different for everyone. What does "being successful" TRULY mean?  To truly succeed in your life - whether personal or financial - requires you to take a hard look at yourself.  1. Family 2. Other people 3. Economic Out of these three things, only #3 can topple the others. You can have great success in your career and your investments, but if your family other people suffer because of it, does it really mean success? What drives people to achieve success? At what point do people feel self-righteous or superior to others?

The Federal Reserve is continuing to raise interest rates, and in a recent hearing on Capitol Hill, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell discussed one of the desired effects of these rate hikes: unemployment.  In an effort to reduce inflation, the Fed needs to slow down the rapid growth of the economy, and unemployment is one of the key indicators of an economy's overall health. If they can increase unemployment - meaning put people out of work - the economy should show signs of slowing down.  But will this actually help Americans, or just cause more pain and anguish? What does this mean for you?  Send this podcast to someone who needs to hear this too!  Get more free resources here: https://ajosborne.com/ Invest with me: https://cedarcreekwealth.com

Last weekend, the Silicon Valley Bank based out of Santa Monica, CA, collapsed, leaving billions of dollars worth of assets and customers in limbo.  SVB is a bank mainly funding tech-related ventures and startups, with many of its clients having accounts over the $250,000 FDIC insurance cap. When they couldn't resolve their accounts with about $2 billion in money they couldn't raise from their investments. As a result, this caused its customers to pull about $42 billion out of their accounts, causing a run on the bank.  So why did this happen? and do you need to be worried?  Send this podcast to someone who needs to hear this too!  Get more free resources here: https://ajosborne.com/ Invest with me: https://cedarcreekwealth.com
