Roger and Richard cover a chaotic week in markets, crypto, and politics, then turn inward to tackle the biggest question facing the WealthWise rebrand: what is the single framework that actually helps people build wealth in the real world. They start with the surge in forced crypto liquidations, the growing disconnect between AI stocks and the broader economy, and the debate over whether the market is entering a correction or gearing up for another leg higher once the government shutdown ends. From Michael Burry’s new AI shorts to rare earth stocks collapsing after massive run ups, they walk through how both sentiment and liquidity can flip entire sectors in a matter of days.

The conversation then shifts to the idea of a keystone philosophy for WealthWise. They compare models like Learn, Earn, Invest, triple compounding, and service based cash flow strategies, and ask why some frameworks take off while others remain too abstract or too future focused to stick. They explore the tension between teaching long term wealth planning and giving listeners something that produces meaningful progress right now. Along the way they get into parenting with AI, screen age decisions, mental health risks, and the challenge of preparing kids for a world where early tech literacy is both a massive advantage and a minefield. Educational only, not financial advice.
