  • Episode 17 of the podcast has become one of our most controversial episodes to date!

  • We have heard it far too many times, "New year, new me!"

    It makes a great sentence, however, the application is the most difficult part of achieving our goals. For me, I revise my five-year plan every year. I have a plan for my home life, each one of my kids, my wife, career, and overall picture. Writing my plans down is what keeps me on track. Today I read a stat that 85% of advisors who gross >1MM have a sales plan and business plan written out in detail.

    Writing it down is nice, although if you do it wrong, your plan can be completely useless. This is why I like to follow the S.M.A.R.T. acronym when I plan any goal achieving exercise.

    Whether your goal is huge or small, applying the S.M.A.R.T. system can add tremendous value, and make you feel smarter.

  • Don't shoot the messenger! Every good investor should do their best to remove their bias, and focus on the cold hard facts. Today, Anton and Nyle discuss one of the most widely discussed investment myths, gold.

    We apologize to all of our gold bugs out there, the inflation stations, and armageddon preppers. Not only do we feel gold is a terrible investment choice, we also believe it will eventually become worthless. There are five key points we address to back this claim.

    1. The numbers don't lie

    2. Gold is an inefficient investment vehicle

    3. Gold ETF's such as $GLD aren't any more efficient

    4. Won't protect against any

    5. What gold once did, technology now does better

  • Technically, this is part two of last week's podcast, Business As Unusual, which you can watch here. However, Anton and I felt like the title "Business As Unusual" did not match up to what we would be covering during episode 15... so we changed the title! #Freedom

    In 2008, people only thought of saving money, now people are less tolerant to large government and corporations. People may be more supportive of small businesses now than ever before. How to we take advantage of these changing times? Following the surprise presidential election, we feel like there are FOUR key topics that must be discussed as Financial Time Travelers. Remember, the quickest path to wealth to entrepreneurialism.

    Investment Strategies under the new POTUS

    How to figure out what business you should open

    How to identify your target audience

    How to build an online business for under $500

  • We are officially in post-election season! Unfortunately, we shot this on Monday where Hillary Clinton had been the unanimous favorite to win the election, however, Trump successfully surprised the nation! Good thing this podcast is still very relevant as we discuss where we go from here as the nation returns to BUSINESS AS (UN)USUAL.

    Just like we watch economic cycles in the market very carefully, we also watch out for EMOTIONAL cycles in the populous as measured by political interaction.

    Where are we in the emotional cycles of America’s emotional interaction with the government? How can we protect and grow our wealth during different cycles?

    FINANCIAL TIME TRAVELER HAS THE ANSWERS!

  • We are EXTREMELY excited to bring this very special episode of the Financial Time Traveler's Podcast! I will be expanding on this topic in a long-form blog later this month, however, here are the show notes in their abbreviated form! If you have any questions or comments, hit that contact us button and send your thoughts over!

    PART ONE – The Science of time (brief but necessary) Stephen Hawking proposed the theory of 3 arrows of time in his book “A Brief History of ” Thermodynamic Time: the direction in which disorder decreases. Cosmological Time:The direction of time in which the universe expands. Psychological Time:The direction in which we remember the past and not the future. We can only remember events as they occurred on their corresponding arrow of time. All arrows must point in the same direction. We cannot manipulate thermodynamic time or cosmological time (unless you have a flux capacitor and a DeLorean capable of 88mph). However, the process in which we perceive time and apply its methods are consistently manipulated. Either by ourselves our outside forces. PART TWO – How we experience time/Framework vs. Temporary happiness The difference between temporary happiness and framework happiness relies on intertemporal powers, or how we measure time preference or value. Temporary happiness would be eating your favorite meal, watching your favorite tv show or sports team, etc. Framework happiness is becoming a person of value and purpose. Next time you are in your car, turn on the old AM/FM radio and count how many times you are advertised items of temporary happiness vs. framework happiness. Take note of the billboards, business signage, local culture PART THREE – The science of time preferences “I plan on continually eating poorly, ignoring my family, and refusing to plan my financial goals until I am in critically terrible physical condition, alone, and broke.” – No One Ever. Except 1 in every four deaths in America is a result of heart disease http://www.cdc.gov/heartdisease/facts.htm Almost half of marriages end in divorce http://www.apa.org/topics/divorce/ 6 out of 10 Americans have less than $1,000.00 in their bank account http://www.marketwatch.com/story/most-americans-have-less-than-1000-in-savings-2015-10-06 Don’t feel bad! We live in the present, so it’s only natural that we serve the now over the future! How do we fight this? In my opinion, one great way to battle the staggering figures above is to learn how to give future dates the same value or rights as any present date, and then create systems that reduce the probability of negative impact. PART FOUR – Procrastination vs. Technology Procrastination is a cognitive bias which misleads us to think that a future date has less value than the present date, which is why we assign the crappy tasks to the future. However, when that future date becomes today we realize our time is just as valuable, and then we want to kick the proverbial responsibility can down the calendar once again. Rinse and repeat. It’s the human condition. However, as the great inventor Ray Kurzweil once stated, "The computer in your cell phone today is a million times cheaper and a thousand times more powerful and about a hundred thousand times smaller (than the one computer at MIT in 1965) and so that's a billion-fold increase in capability per dollar or per euro that we've actually seen in the last 40 years." As a species, we have developed a unique tool in technology and the internet of things. Artificial intelligence and algorithm backed programming allows us to quickly accomplish a goal that we previously procrastinated to the point of devastation. As Father John Culkin, SJ, a Professor of Communication at Fordham University in New York once stated: “We shape our tools and thereafter, our tools shape us.” There are many systems that computers are better for suited than humans. Technology such as TheZebra.com allows us to save money to use in other places, like investments. The compounding effect of that saved money can have huge implications after decades of use! What Does This Mean To Me?

    To change the future, we must change the present. As we all know, repeating our actions with an expectation of different results is the definition on insanity. By implementing new strategies and practices we will all find ourselves in a much brighter future. If you can achieve your goals at a faster rate, for example accomplishing a 5year goal in 2years, that is time travel.

    Let’s get time traveling!

Unlike payday loans and pre-paid visa cards, Activehours does not charge users a fee, but rather asks that they tip based on what they feel is fair.

    During our sit down with Ram at his offices in Palo Alto, we discussed:

    - Where he was before starting the company

    - How he came up with the idea for Activehours

    - How he validated that his idea could become a company

    - The transition process of leaving his job to pursue the launch of Activehours

    - How artificial intelligence processes can empower everyday people

    - Life hacks that he uses to achieve company goals, as well as personal goals at a faster rate

  • In Episode 10 of the Financial Time Traveler’s Podcast, Anton and Nyle introduced a two-part series about WHY and HOW smart people make terrible investment decisions.

    Part one focused on the “cognitive bias,” or how we trick our minds to make bad calls. In Episode 11 Anton and Nyle go for round two and focus on the “emotional bias,” or how the way we feel affects the way we act.

    Of course, in between the facts, Anton and Nyle interact the only way a father-son team can.

    "Top notch insight sprinkled with jokes, stories, and time travel."
    -Someone in Nyle's (very cool) Imagination.

  • The emotional experience of investing can feel overwhelming for most. As the market acts in erratic ways, it's important to recognize how and why your emotions will affect your decisions. Unfortunately, most investment companies do not explain these concepts to us (why? we'll never know). However, Anton and Nyle outline each of the most important cognitive and emotional bias' in a two-part series. Enjoy!

  • Episode 9 is all about INVESTING convictions and the EMOTIONAL afflictions that come with volatility. The first step is knowing your number.

    For instance:

    HOW MUCH DO YOU NEED FOR THAT VACATION? HOW MUCH DO YOU TO BUY A HOUSE? HOW MUCH WILL YOU NEED TO RETIRE?

    As we have written about before, the magic of compound interest is the driving force behind the power of investing in 401ks, IRAs, 457s, 403b plans, etc. Simply put, if you are not investing your money for the long-term, you will be SIGNIFICANTLY less well off than if you did. However, the process is much more complicated than simply contributing money. You have to pick your investments, and then you have to adjust your strategy as your priorities change. While all this is happening, major headlines are pulling at your heartstrings, friends pretend to experts with conflicting advice, and your 401k broker is having a hard time emailing you back.

    You are not alone, and that is why we made this episode. For many, investing is a firmly held belief or opinion which also causes stress, pain, and suffering. However, it does not have to be that way!

    Watch as we share our tips and tricks to help enable you to secure your future without developing anxiety issues!

  • Hey, Time Travelers! We are VERY excited about today’s podcast as Anton and Nyle discuss their biggest takeaways and learning experience of SUCCESSFUL entrepreneurialism in today’s business climate.

    Small businesses account for 64% of all newly created jobs in 2012 and 70% of new job creation for the past decade.

    The future of the US economy is dependent on more people choosing to “earn a living”. Admittedly being an entrepreneur is not easy or for everyone. However, entrepreneurs are the business sector that changes the course of stagnant cycles of slow growth and high unemployment. Entrepreneurial small businesses are the largest employer sector in the country representing 53% of US workers, and there are over 30 million small businesses in America.
