Don't Retire, Pull a Mel Gibson
OCT 23, 2024
Don't Retire, Pull a Mel Gibson
<p>I delve into Mel Gibson's spot-on perspective on retirement, which I contend is unnatural in the modern hedonistic context. I explore Gibson’s commitment to staying creative and active into his later years, doing work that matters, and contrast this with our societal norm of subsidized and unexamined retirement.</p><p>02:47 The Problem with Subsidized Retirement</p><p>08:23 Mel Gibson's Future Projects</p><p>14:13 The Passion of the Christ Sequel</p><p>23:26 Mel’s Redemption Arc</p><p>23:48 True Elites</p><p>25:41 The Landed Gentry, Country Gentlemen</p><p>34:00 Alaric the Barbarian on “Traditional” things</p><p>Links: </p><p>* James Horner -<a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pxFcFI6lvg"> The Legend </a></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://www.gentlemanspeculator.com/p/why-you-should-never-retire-96a?utm_source=publication-search">This is Why You Should Never Retire</a></p><p>* <a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/LUQN7dZzX6E?si=PO52A61Pl4oR6-LD">Mel Gibson reveals more amazing stories live on stage in London!

The Real Zorro, Noblesse Oblige, Gentleman Speculator
SEP 11, 2024
The Real Zorro, Noblesse Oblige, Gentleman Speculator
<p><a href="https://www.gentlemanspeculator.com/">https://www.gentlemanspeculator.com/<br/></a><br/>You heard right. The Reformed Financial Advisor Podcast? It&apos;s gone. Dead and buried. From now on, it&apos;s <em>Gentleman Speculator</em>. Cleaner. Sharp as a stiletto heel. Like Alain Delon&apos;s tailored slacks. <br/><br/>Money is a tool. But this isn’t about counting beans anymore. We’re talking shadows, where the real power reveals itself. The true Zorro? It&apos;s William Lamport. And he doesn’t just fight with a sword; he fights with secrets. Bruce Wayne’s noblesse oblige? That’s not rotten lefty philanthropy—it’s blood, sweat, and munificence bestowed on a world that can&apos;t get clean.<br/><br/>In this cesspool we call progress, a few old stories still have teeth - The Dark Knight, Finkle-McGraw, Holmes, and, Marlowe. Sharp enough to bite, vicious enough to remind us of the American myths we once knew.<br/><br/>The truth? The answers are out there, somewhere between the rain-soaked streets of high finance and the dusted corridors of the liberal arts. It’s all connected—sleuthing, speculating, playing the long game. And if you&apos;re not seeing the big picture, you&apos;re already yesterday&apos;s news.<br/><br/>But don’t expect an easy listen. The rabbit hole’s deep, one misstep and you&apos;re in free fall. <br/><br/>Welcome to Gentleman Speculator.</p><p>Subscribe to emails at <a href="https://www.gentlemanspeculator.com/">https://www.gentlemanspeculator.com/</a> <br/><br/>Andy Flattery is the Owner of Simple Wealth Planning, a Registered Investment Advisor.

Deflation, Sound Money, Is Bitcoin "Good?" | Tim Wuebker

Deflation, Sound Money, Is Bitcoin "Good?" | Tim Wuebker
<p>In conversation again with Tim Wuebker. We discussed inflation, deflation, hard money, and the moral case for Bitcoin. I recall how the 2008 financial crisis led me to question the stability of traditional financial systems and eventually turned me towards Bitcoin, especially during the money-printing spree of 2020. We delved into the advantages of Bitcoin, such as its deflationary nature, portability, and cryptographic security, while also addressing the challenges, including its public ledger and the need for tech-savviness to manage private keys. It&apos;s always a good time to do a go-anywhere chat with Tim. <br/><br/>Check out Tim Wuebker&apos;s podcast, Seemingly Ordinary:<a href="https://timwuebker.com/"> https://timwuebker.com/</a></p><p>Subscribe to emails at <a href="https://www.gentlemanspeculator.com/">https://www.gentlemanspeculator.com/</a> <br/><br/>Andy Flattery is the Owner of Simple Wealth Planning, a Registered Investment Advisor.
